High drama in MPG College students' council
elections
Mussoorie, September 7 The supporters of Neeraj Sajwan opposed the move and demanded the election in charge to declare the results in their favour without any recounting, which was denied by the officials. The situation turned worse when Manmohan Singh Mall, MC president, who is the chairman of the college management committee, barged into the counting centre and tried to influence the officials in favour of the NSUI Megh Singh group, stopping the counting process altogether for a while. Meanwhile, ABVP workers, agitated at the role of Manmohan Singh Mall, started opposing his entry into the college and alleged that he was trying to influence the counting officials in favour of NSUI Megh Singh group candidate. The ABVP activists also entered into a scuffle with the NSUI supporters and were dispersed by the police, which used mild force. Following this, some anti-social elements in the garb of students began throwing stones from the top near Barah Kainchi road at the police, resulting in damage to the vehicle of CO, Mussoorie, Jaya Baloni, and minor injury to some policemen and scribes present there. The police in retaliation began the lathi charge on the students, forcing the students to run helter-skelter. Considering the tense situation, the administration invoked Section 144 in the town, leading to closure of shops by the business community in haste. Two platoons of PAC were also called in to control the situation and the policemen did not spare the students at Library Bazaar, where once gain it resorted to lathi charge to disperse the students. While all this was happening, the recounting votes for the presidential post was started once again for the third time after Manmohan Singh Mall was forced out of the centre around 9 pm. Both the candidates were tied with 329 votes. The Principal, Sudhir Gairola, announcing a tie between the two candidates for the post of president, directed the closure of the college till Tuesday. Earlier, ABVP emerged victorious for the other posts in the college union. For the post of University Representative (UR), Girish Nautiyal garnered 282 votes and defeated his nearest rival Amit Rawat from Aryan group, who received 213 votes.

The total votes polled for the post were 757, out of which 51 votes were declared invalid. Sanjana from ABVP garnered 275 votes for the post of treasurer and defeated her nearest rival Vikas Kumar from NSUI Megh Singh group in a close contest by a margin of 17 votes. Vikas garnered 258 votes while Rekha from Aryan group could muster only 177 votes. Out of 758 votes polled, 48 votes were declared invalid.

Police registers case against ABVP members
Dehradun, September 7 The case has been registered at the Dalanwala police station on the complaint of the Karanpur police post in-charge under Sections 147, 149 and Sections 336, 332, 353 and 504 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). It is to be noted that the police force led by the Dehradun SSP, Kewal Khuranna, broke into the ABVP office in Karanpur on Friday and directed the students to evacuate the office, that made students furious and they allegedly pelted stones on the police team. The police resorted to the lathi charge, injuring many students. The police are claiming that 17 policemen were also injured in the brawl and the medical of the injured cops were scheduled to happen today. “Investigation in the matter will start, followed by the arrests after identifying the students through the photos and video recording that we have with us”, said MS Farswan, CO Dalanwal. Giving a new twist to the ongoing controversy, ABVP is now demanding for the removal of the SSP for ordering the lathi charge. While speaking to The Tribune, the newly elected president of the DAV PG College, Siddharth Rana, said “We want immediate suspension of the SSP and the magistrate enquiry should be done in the matter. Our workers were peaceful even after the election results and the police selectively picked the ABVP members and started beating them." On the other hand, defending the police action against the students, SP City, Jagdish Chandra, claimed that the ABVP workers had collected bricks and stones inside their office for attacking the police team. Whereas, the police went there to evacuate the office so that law and order situation could be maintained.

Senior citizen murdered in broad daylight
Dehradun, September 7 According to the police, prima facie, the case looks to be a clear case of cold-blooded murder but the reasons are still not clear. The deceased, Rajesh Sharma, used to stay with her doctor-husband Jaiprakash Sharma, who runs a homoeopathic clinic at Majra, was alone at her house at Sevla Kala, the police said. According to the police, Jaiprakash Sharma went to his clinic in the morning, leaving his wife alone at home. Reportedly, the maid came at 10 am in the morning and did not get any response from inside after knocking the door. She reported it to Jaiprakash, who reached home and opened the door with a
duplicate key. He was shocked after entering the house when he found his wife inside the storeroom in an unconscious state. Her throat was slit by a sharp weapon, claims
the police. According to police sources, the murder does not seem to be the result of robbery as the almirah's safe boxes were not broken into and articles and money were not touched. Notably, the senior citizen couple used to reside alone in their house, as one of their children lives abroad and another one in Chandigarh. A police forensic team was called. Fingerprints were taken for investigation purpose. SSP Kewal Khuranna, along with SP, City, reached the house for investigations. According to the sources, Jaiprakash Sharma is said to be a relative of a senior IPS officer of the state. ''We have questioned the maid and staff of the clinic of the victim's husband along with their neighbours to get information about the family,'' said, SP, City, Jagdish
Chandra.
