TOTAL RECALL
Gurgaon, March 2 Manoj had taken up the job of a driver with the Ganga Taxi Stand here a couple of months ago. He was quite strong and even angled for a police job in Haryana. A person from Ghaziabad rang up the taxi stand here for a Qualis on February 12. The caller gave him a false address in Ghaziabad from where he and his three friends were to be picked up. The calls were made through a Reliance mobile phone and an STD booth in Ghaziabad. The names of the callers were known afterwards. They are Rajender Singh Dhariwal, alias Raju, Virender Dhariwal, alias Veeru, Sunil and Vijay Peter. Vijay Peter is a resident of Ghaziabad. The requisitioned vehicle reached Ghaziabad the same evening and picked them up. Manoj drove the vehicle. The alleged killers lied that they had to go to Jaipur to meet somebody in a hospital. They left for Jaipur the same night and halted at Chandwaji before Jaipur. Next morning, they set out for the Pink City and visited several places. They also visited a Hanuman temple at Salaasar in the evening on February 14. After visiting the temple, one of the accused took over the wheel and asked Manoj to sit on the rear seat along with others. After the change of seats, those sitting in the rear, attacked Manoj. The accused allegedly used a hammer and a rope to batter his skull and strangulate him. After killing him, the criminals took an approach road and dumped his body in a field of standing wheat crop after taking off his clothes. They had already taken his documents and mobile phone that he was carrying. Thereafter, the accused took the vehicle to Mumbai. With no contact with Manoj, the taxi stand personnel got suspicious. Mr Naresh Yadav of his family started looking for Manoj. The call that the criminals had made from an STD booth and the Reliance mobile phone provided the vital clues. The code registered on the phone here was of Ghaziabad. Besides, the call made from Reliance mobile phone by the criminals to the taxi stand showed the code number of
Mumbai. Mr Naresh Yadav, who narrated the sequence of events, said that following a number of interviews with the STD booth owners and the residents of the area, he and the family members traced a house of Vijay Peter in Ghaziabad. Although Peter was not in, his son spilled the beans. He revealed his father’s name and also those of three friends who had stayed overnight with him in his house. Also, that Peter had gone to Mumbai with them. One clue led to another and the murder was out. |

LEGAL CORNER
New Delhi, March 2 The MCD counsel, Mr Raj Yadav, arguing before Justice Vikramajit Sen, said the corporation had expelled the corporator from Keshav Puram (North-West Delhi) seat in February last for absenting herself from the House without intimation for three months at a stretch. On the recommendation of the Municipal Secretary, a resolution in this regard had been initiated, which was passed by the corporation by a majority vote under the then MCD Standing Council Chairman R B Sharma, the counsel said. Mr Yadav stressed that the MCD was within its powers to remove Sharda Jain without putting her to notice in the circumstances while she, through her counsel Rakesh Kumar, claimed that the MCD had to give her notice and a fair hearing before initiating the expulsion. Sharda Jain alleged that the principles of natural justice had been violated, especially when it was public knowledge that she had been arrested and put in jail as an accused in the murder case. The court was hearing arguments on the petition filed by Sharda Jain, challenging the vacation of her MCD seat. Yesterday, the High Court had turned down Sharda Jain’s interim bail application. Justice O. P. Dwivedi dismissed her petition seeking bail on the ground of helping her daughter with the school exams, after the court was informed that there were other family members to coach the girl. On February 26, the High Court had issued notice to the police on the petition, filed through counsel Ritu Gauba, in which Sharda Jain said her daughter’s exams were due on March 3, and she being an MA and M Ed herself would be able to assist the child. On February 17, the High Court had rejected the interim bail pleas of Sharda Jain and her brother and co-accused Raj Kumar. The two had sought bail to attend on February 18 and 19, the remembrance ceremony of their father who died on February 4 in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh. Justice Dwivedi dismissed the petitions after he was informed that on verification, it was found that the ceremony had already taken place a day before. |

New Delhi, March 2 The police suspects the involvement of a professional criminal in these cases. According to sources, the Kishan Pehlwan gang could be involved; it reportedly has a nexus with political parties.

Mulayam government taking a leaf
out of Mayawati’s book?
Greater Noida, March 2 It seems so. The officials of the consolidation department are reportedly trying to destroy the record of all land scams under Nalgarha village. The 2778 katcha bigha land of Gram Sabha, vide Khatta No.28 under Sadar Tehsil, is being transferred to the people who are not the original residents of the village, but are possessing the said land illegally. This is being done by the orders of the consolidation department, and surprisingly, the telephone and electricity bills are being shown as the basis of their possession, when nobody in the village is reported to have a telephone connection. This is reportedly being done in a longstanding dispute. The case pertaining to it is still pending in the High Court. According to Greater Noida sources, the land compensation of the entire chunk of land is estimated to be over Rs 105 crore, which all these people are keen to usurp. DM Santosh Kumar Yadav is reported to have instructed the government pleaders to challenge the orders of the land consolidation officer. The DM has also ordered that the land compensation of this land may not be disbursed yet. According to available information, consolidation officer Rajinder Singh Chauhan, ordered on Monday that vide case No. 60/2003/04, land measuring 2778 bigha, vide Khatta No. 28, be transferred to the name of 61 people, including Dharam Singh, son of Ummed, Shiv Raj Singh, son of Harvansh Singh, Indu Solanky, daughter of Moti Solanky. He had also ordered about 150 bigha land to be transferred to the names of Dharam Singh and others as Abadi land. It has been pointed out that nine persons, including Baldav, Jaswant, Kalwant and Jaspal, out of the 61 persons are original inhabitants of this village. Other 52 persons have no connection whatsoever with the village and nobody knows their whereabouts. In Nalgarha, only 10 families have built their houses in the village on Abadi land. The names of those 52 outsiders are not included even in the voters’ list of the village. But the authorities have ordered that the land be transferred in their names on the basis of possession by them. Interestingly, there is a longstanding dispute on this land of Nalgarha village, dating back to 1926 which had often led to clashes among people. In 1926, Syed Amir Mohd, who was village headman (numberdar) was the owner of this land. He had given the land to one Bhagwati Sahai, after which the names of Dharmvir, Desh Bakht and others also got linked with it. One Surajmal had filed a case in 1981, alleging that the consolidation officer had illegally rejected his application in 1953 and ordered the land to be given to the village society. While Dharam Singh and others had filed a case for including their names in the land on the basis of claiming possession of the land for 40 years. In 1990, SDM Dadri had rejected the titles of 40 landless labourers who later procured a stay from the High Court. The matter is still pending in the court. |

Gurgaon Inc irked by govt move to take over land
Gurgaon, March 2 The Gurgaon Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), in its 24th Annual General Meeting (AGM), urged the government to refrain from acquiring the units. Besides, all lands purchased by the existing units in these areas for expansion and diversification should be excluded from the notification. Moreover, the land purchased for industrial use by the entrepreneurs should be exempted with an understanding that it will be used for industrial purpose only. The government has already issued notification under Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act in these villages. The GCCI says that hundreds of units, small, medium and large scale having investment of crores of rupees, are functional in these areas and making products for the domestic and international users. A majority of these units have been in operation for the last many years. It pointed out that a majority of the industrial units located in these areas have obtained the required permission/registration and licences, such as conversion for land use, factory licence, SSI or IEM, sales tax registration, central excise registration, electricity and telephone connections, etc. The GCCI president, Mr Arun Jain, expressed hope that the government would pay heed to its demand. On the issue of the External Development Charges (EDC), the GCCI lamented that from time to time, it had been focusing the attention of the Haryana State Industrial Development Corporation (HSIDC) on the issue. Although it welcomed the government’s move to provide a relief of Rs 54 per square meter in the EDC, it urged for further reduction of the rates. Even the present charges impose a heavy financial burden on the units. Equally important is that the demand notices issued earlier should be withdrawn without penalty and interest, it added. While expressing relief on the government’s withdrawal of professional tax, it urged for the scrapping of Local Area Development Tax, too. It urged the government to withdraw market fees on important agro products, especially wheat, barley, paddy and gram used by the agro processing industries. It regretted the low rate of growth of ago processing industries in the state. |
All candidates for Sonepat Parliamentary seat from Gohana
Sonepat, March 2 The first party to make announcement of the candidates was the Haryana Vikas Party of Bansi Lal, when it named the former minister Jagbir Singh Malik as its candidates at a public meeting in the district nearly one month back. Jagbir Singh Malik who hails from village Bhainswal Kalan – a prominent village of the region, had been a minister of state in Bansi Lal’s cabinet 1996 to 1999. But he lost the Assembly election in 2000 to INLD’s Ram Kumar Saini in a multi-corner contest. He has already toured number of villages in the constituency to gauge the public sentiments before launching the full-scale poll campaign. Despite the fact that the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) of Ram Bilas Paswan has almost finalised its poll alliance with the Congress at national level, the party had already announced at its Panipat rally on January 27 that the president of the state unit, Capt Shamsher Singh Malik would contest the election as party candidate from Sonepat Parliamentary constituency. Capt Malik belonged to village Mirzapur Kheri under Gohana tehsil and has played a significant role in raising the party cadre in the state and organised successful rallies at Rohtak, Sonepat and Panipat. According to party sources, the LJP will claim for Sonepat seat while finalising seat sharing with the Congress in the state. Capt Malik has also been touring the villages for the last two months and announcing his candidature from the constituency. The BJP has already named the sitting MP Kishan Singh Sangwan as party’s candidate. Mr Sangwan won this seat in 1998 on INLD ticket and in 1999 on BJP ticket. He also belonged to village Nunan Khera under Gohana tehsil and had been a Cabinet Minister in the state from 1987 to 1991. To prove him as a formidable candidate, he organised a successful and largely attended party’s rally at Gohana in the first of the February. The announcement made by Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala on February 29 that Krishana Malik, wife of the Director General of police, Haryana, Mr M. S. Malik, would be INLD’s candidate from this constituency, has surprised people in the area as her name is very new in political circles of the area. Krishna Malik, who has been working as the president of the managing committee of Kanya Gurukul Khanpur Kalan and Gurukul Bhainswal Kalan for the last two years, is the daughter of village Bichpuri in Gohana tehsil and married in village Shamlo Kalan - a village in Julana Assembly constituency, which forms part of the Sonepat Parliamentary constituency. The Congress is yet to announce its candidate, but number of aspirants for Congress ticket belonged to Gohana area. Prominent among them are: the former HPCC president Dharampal Singh Malik, who has represented the constituency twice-1984 and 1991 in the Lok Sabha, Dada Baljit Singh Malik, Balbir Singh Malik - they all belonged to villages under Gohana tehsil. Other names which are being mentioned for party candidate included the present MLA Jitender Malik, former minister and general secretary of All India Mahila Congress Krishna Gahlawat. It is also a question mark whether the Congress will spare this seat for LJP or not in seat sharing.  |

Anger swells over poor civic facilities in Jhajjar
Jhajjar, March 2 Fed up with the unbearable prevailing conditions, the villagers took to violent means to protest against the establishment and demanding availability of proper facilities to them. However, such sour feelings of the people could be transformed in anti-incumbency wave to give an electoral jolt to the ruling parties in the state. Well-timed onslaught of the opposition leaders during their public meetings are fueling the fire. The frequent incidents of protest demonstrations of the villagers by putting up blockades on the main roads are indicator of growing resentment among the rural areas against the present regime. “These blockades are a wake up call for the INLD government, and we are feeling exploited and cheated as Chief Minister talks big and do little,” said a former sarpanch of the village, Jai Bhagawan participating in the road blockade in Matanhail village on February 20. Even the villagers could not recount how many times they have resorted to this tactic after the local ruling politicians and the district officials failed to give a sympathetic ear to their grievances. Similar incidents of road jam and protest demonstrations have been reported regularly since last couple of years. Each time, a team of the district and police officials reached the spot and make assurances to the peeved villagers and returned at the district headquarters after lifting the blockade. But, the situation again comes back to square one as the district authorities forget their assurances and pay no heed to the problems. In fact, some of the villages have been more vocal in raising the banner of revolt against the district administration as well as the state government, time and again. Some villages, such as: Silana, Silani, Hasanpur, Akehari Madanpur, Kasni, Jahajgarh etc, where the road blockade incidents have been a routine affair. As many as six incidents of road blockade and gherao of police chowki have been reported in two months this year. Political observers, however, feel that thanks to failure of the authorities to cater to the basic needs of the people here, especially in the rural areas, coupled with the spurting crime scene in the urban areas, the brewing discontent towards the ruling clique appears to be growing fast among the electorate, which could cost heavily on the ruling parties, in the state and Centre, as the election time is round the corner. Frequent road blockade incidents in the rural areas by the agitated villagers reflected the simmering anger among them, these sources added. Mr Dhir Pal, Country and Town planning Minister, admitted while addressing the workers meeting here that the people of the district have been suffering due to lack of basic services and the financial position of the people here is also weaker than other parts of the state. Enraged sentiments of the people are being encased by the opposition parties, including the Congress, the HVP and the BJP, who have intensified their anti-government stirs. The election aspirant local leaders of opposition parties, including Mr Manphool Singh and Mr Kultaj Singh of HVP, Ms Anita Yadav, sitting MLA from Salawas and Mr Anand Sagar, both from the Congress, Mr Om Prakash Dhankar, national secretary of the BJP, who is possible candidate from Rohtak Lok Sabha seat, have been holding public meetings and people contact campaigns for a long time in the countryside to add fuel to the enraged sentiments of the people.

Bad drainage system creates health hazards
Faridabad, March 2 According to the Citizen Welfare Association, a registered society looking the common interests of the residents there, the matter had been taken up with the authorities concerned at a number of times, but to no satisfactory results. The association claims that the main Nullah or the drain constructed in and around the town had failed to serve the purpose as this channel remained choked and blocked at any given time, resulting in filthy smell and a favourable place of growth of all kind of insects and germs. Stating that all the residents who reside near the drain were faced with a major health risk, an office-bearer of the association claimed that throwing of muck and garbage into the nullah at a number of spots had stopped the flow of the dirty water. This, he said, had resulted in waterlogging at several places and many people fall victim to many diseases that crop up due to uncivic conditions. He said the garbage dumped illegally into the drain was hardly cleaned in the past many years and had resulted in outbreak of waterborne diseases like jaundice at a number of occasions. It is claimed that since the drain had been covered with concrete slabs and the volume was large, the manual cleaning had failed to solve the problem so far. He said although the civic authorities keep assuring the people to provide solution, but stated that it required detailed planning and strategy to find a long-term solution.

Consumer has ‘no say’ as cable war breaks
Faridabad, March 2 Mr Singla, a member of the Faridabad Abhibhawak Ekta Manch, was shocked to find that he had to get a ‘NOC’ from another cable operator when he wanted to extend the cable line of his connection to one of the rooms of his house, which had been vacated by a tenant. The operator, a franchisee of the Win Cable network here, told him that he could not do so as the tenant had taken connection from another operator functional in the locality. The issue got murkier when the other operator clearly told the consumer that cable connections to the other room in the house would be provided only by him as the territory of the two operators had been divided and his house had become a shared territory of the two operators. Subsequently, Mr Singla approached a local MLA, as the operator “creating the problem” reportedly was his relative. Even though he assured him that the problem would be sorted out, the cable operator threatened him with dire consequences. As a last resort, he lodged a complaint with the police against the cable operator. However, the police did not take any action against the accused, Mr Singla alleged. As a result, he has approached the ‘Grahak Panchayat’, a body of the consumers to intervene in the matter. |
