Rickshaw puller behind NRI’s death
New Delhi, September 24 On December 29, 2003, the police had received information that one Kaushalya Devi, a senior citizen and an NRI, was lying in an unconscious condition in her house in Jangpura Extension, Hazrat Nizamuddin. The police took her to a nearby hospital, where she had been declared brought dead. During investigation, it was found that she was living alone in her house. She had been tied with a nylon cord and smothered to death. Two sons and two daughters, who were living in the US, had survived the victim. She was also residing in the US but used to visit India occasionally. During investigation, the police found that one rickshaw puller, who used to work for the deceased, was missing since her murder. The police traced the rickshaw puller’s mother-in-law, who would earn her livelihood by begging for alms in the Nizamuddin area. During interrogation, she revealed that the accused was a native of Chandosi (UP). It was further revealed that he was working with the famous magician P.V. Sarkar. After several raids in UP and Delhi, the accused was finally arrested from Narela area. During interrogation, he admitted that he was working for the deceased and drawing Rs 1,500 per month. He told the police that he was in dire need of money and she owed him his dues for the last 10 months. A day before the crime, he went to her house and asked her to pay him his dues amounting Rs 15,000. At this, she abused him and refused to pay the money. The next day he reached her house, pushed her on a sofa chair and tied her hands with a nylon cord. Thereafter, he allegedly smothered her to death and took away Rs 5,000 from her purse and also some other documents, which the police said were not of any use to the accused.

RI for rape of ‘wife’
Meerut, September 24 This has happened due to the deposition of the woman before the court. The whole drama dates back to 2002 when Anju of village Tera went to her sister’s house in Agarwal Mandi Tatiri where she fell in love with Narendra, a neighbour of her sister. Both Anju and Narendra eloped on July 4, 2002, and according to the defence lawyer P Bhardwaj, Anju returned after three days on July 7, 2002. Paradoxically, she then made a written complaint to the SP Baghpat and a case of rape under Section 376 IPC was registered against Narendra on July 26. She also stated that three of Narendra brothers beat her up. Narendra was arrested on July 26 and bailed out after three months. In October 2002, Narendra met Anju and they again fell in love. Both apologised to each other and married on November 13, 2002, in a local Arya Samaj Temple. But the matter had now reached the session court where Anju deposed before the court. According to her deposition, Narendra raped her before marriage and the sexual relationship was against her will. Anju was still with her husband on Thursday when the court awarded sentence to her husband. She broke down. She said that she had done this all as per the instructions of her sister. While Narendra told the mediapersons that Anju is still his wife and he loves her as before. He said that he will move the High Court against the verdict.

NTPC Accounts Officer embezzled Rs 7 lakh
New Delhi, September 24 Barua was the signatory of the NTPC, authorised to sign on behalf of the corporation in bank transactions. According to the CBI, he had between January and June 1986 obtained two bank drafts of Rs 6.71 lakh and Rs 38,370, respectively, and deposited the same in his own account by forging signatures of the NTPC authorities. Later, he utilised the amount for purchasing a house in Kalkaji Extension, a car, a TV and an amplifier. The defence said no loss was caused to the NTPC as SBI had conditionally reimbursed the amount. But the court rejected the contention, saying it does not mitigate the offence committed by Barua. “It only shows that there were some lapses on the part of the bank and they did not want to lose a good customer like the NTPC,” the court said.

Australian minister inspects Metro maintenance depot
New Delhi, September 24 Some of the world’s most sophisticated and advanced safety and comfort measures have been implemented in metro stations and trains. The Australian companies have provided several parts used in different sub-systems. These include air-conditioning and door-closing systems, disabled-friendly tactile flooring and certain portions of ballastless tracks. Ballastless tracks, it may be mentioned, minimise the need for track maintenance and also reduce running dimensions on structures. Besides ensuring lower maintenance cost and enhanced safety, these also reduce vibrations and increase riding comfort for passengers. Apart from being a major centre for coach maintenance for the Metro project, as per the funding plan approved by the Government of India, a major property development project is also coming up adjacent to the depot.

Traders hold rally against UAM
New Delhi, September 24 A former Union Minister of State, Mr Vijay Goel, CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal, FEDSIA President Kapil Chopra and CAIT State General Secretary Narender Madan participated in the rally. The rally passed through Asaf Ali Road, Ajmeri Gate Bazar, Hauz Qazi, Chawri Bazar and Nai Sarak. The protestors carried placards and black flags. CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khanddelwal said that the UAM was not citizen-friendly. It was neither transparent nor in the interests of the traders in the Capital. Mr Vijay Goel, in turn, said that the MCD had arbitrarily set the use factor for different categories of owners of property: While residential colonies have been put under one use factor, industry has been put under three use factor and trade has been put under four use factor, which would make the tax liability on trade and industry much higher. Mr Narender Madan said that the penal provisions were very harsh and could not be “digested under any circumstances”.
