Another ‘big catch’ New Delhi, February 14 The suspects were arrested from Hari Nagar Bus depot while travelling in luxury cars. An Italian pistol and a German-made revolver with live cartridges were recovered from their possession. Satender is a notorious criminal of Karol Bagh area and became infamous after the 1997 shootout on Tis Hazari court premises when he, along with the other arrested criminal, Yogesh Saini, shot dead Harbhajan Singh Raju and Happy. Later they were also involved in masterminding blasts when a truck loaded with 18 kg of RDX was intercepted by sleuths of Crime Branch at Punjabi Bagh in 1998. Their names also prominently figured in a rape case: the victim was kidnapped from Amar Colony in Lajpat Nagar and gang raped. The victim was followed in her Tata Indica and reportedly kidnapped in Colony. The Crime Branch received information last evening that the suspects would be going to Hari Nagar in a Honda City and Wagon R cars. The instant these vehicles were noticed, they were
gheraoed by the police vehicles. When the suspects realised that they had been
gheraoed by the police, they tried to flee. Swiftly the police team pounced upon Satender and Yogi who were in the Wagon R. However, two of the occupants of Honda City managed to escape. The third occupant, who was identified as Ved Prakash Garg, has been arrested. During interrogation Ved Prakash disclosed that he was serving as Deputy Superintendent at Tihar Jail, but he could not explain his association with the criminals. Satender Pal Singh, a graduate from Khalsa College, later took admission in LLB in Delhi University. Since his earlier days, he was a known ruffian in Karol Bagh. He had started dealing in sale and purchase of disputed properties.
Life term for killing lover’s wife A city court has sentenced a woman to life imprisonment for killing the wife of the man she wanted to marry. Additional Sessions Judge S L Bhayana also slapped a fine of Rs 5,000 on the convict Babita Dagar, a resident of Najafgarh. The accused had killed one Vimla who was married to Anoop Singh and had a daughter from him. After a few years of marriage, Anoop reportedly went missing, following which Vimla married his younger brother Surender Singh. On April 4, 2002, when Vimla was alone at home, Babita along with her two associates came and threatened her to leave Surender, adding that she wanted to marry him. In a moment of rage, Babita threw chilli powder into Vimla’s eyes and strangled her with her dupatta. She ran away after setting Vimla on fire. A day later, the victim succumbed to her injuries at Safdarjung Hospital. |

Bid to bail out prisoners on fake orders thwarted Sonepat, February 14 According to a report, this has caused panic among the judicial and jail officials. The District and Sessions Judge, Mr B L Singal, has already informed the Punjab and Haryana High Court in this connection. The prisoners, Satinder and Jatinder of Mehndipur village and Dinesh of Bidhal village, are said to be involved in a number of dacoity and murder cases.

It is stated that the Kaithal jail authorities had received the release order on bail from the Punjab and
Haryana High Court a few days back. However, the jail authorities became suspicious and initiated an inquiry. In the meantime, they received another release order of two undertrial prisoners, including Jatinder, which was purportedly issued by the court of Mr J S Jangra, Additional Sessions Judge of Sonepat. It is stated that the jail authorities sent back the order to Sonepat for verification. During verification, the order was found to be fake and the signature of the judge bogus. The judge maintained that his court had not issued the release order.

Handicapped monkey runs amok Ghaziabad: A rogue monkey has attacked and injured about half a dozen children in the town. Earlier, the same monkey with a severed hand had attacked some kids in Vishwas Nagar of East Delhi. A one and a half year old girl in Seva Nagar was pounced upon by the monkey recently, as a result of which her face had to be stitched in 14 places. When her mother came to the child’s rescue, she was also attacked by the animal. Had she not acted promptly, the monkey would have dragged away the child, the woman said. It is only when the mother, Bimla, raised the alarm, that the simian turned tail and jumped over the terrace of the adjacent house. After a while, lathi-toting people came out in Loni in search of the animal who had caused considerable panic in the area. They are quite scared as the simian comes every now and then and attacks young children. The administration or the police do not seem to have a solution to the problem.

As many as 174 examination centres have been set up in the district for middle class examinations. The police personnel would also be deputed to maintain law and order inside and outside the examination centres. A meeting of the centre superintendents has been
convened on February 15 in CRZ Senior Secondary School. It will be addressed by the Deputy Commissioner and the Superintendent of Police, to ensure that there was no copying in the examinations.

BJP pacts have been patchy Sonepat, February 14 Stating this in a press statement here on Friday, the president of Haryana Loktantra Raksha Manch, Mr Joginder Singh Hooda, recalled that Rao Birender Singh became the first non-Congress Chief Minister of Haryana in March 1967 with the support of 12 MLAs of the then Jan Sangh under the leadership of Dr Mangal Sein. But that government fell within eight months when Jan Sangh withdrew its support. Ch Devi Lal became the Chief Minister in 1977, when the Janata Party swept the polls. But, the 11 legislators who were from the erstwhile Jansangh, deserted Devi Lal and supported Bhajan Lal to become the Chief Minister in 1979. The end of Janata Party rule came in 1980, when Bhajan Lal along with 40 legislators and ministers crossed over to Congress. In 1982, Devi Lal and BJP forged alliance in the Assembly elections and won 40 out of 90 seats. With the support of more than half a dozen independent legislators, Devi Lal was to take oath of the chief minister. But as the BJP did not submit its letter of support to the Governor, Bhajan Lal managed to take the oath of Chief minister for being the leader of single largest party in the Assembly with 35 MLAs. Similarly, in 1987, Devi Lal became the Chief Minister with the support of 17 legislators of BJP after contesting the elections in alliance. But when Devi Lal became the Deputy Prime Minister and Om Prakash Chautala became the Chief Minister, the BJP withdraw its support and the then Chautala government could not survive for its full term. Mr Hooda also stated that the Haryana Vikas Party of Bansi Lal and BJP contested the 1996 Assembly elections in alliance and Bansi Lal became the Chief Minister with support of BJP’s 11 MLAs. However, in July 1999, the BJP withdrew its support and Bansi Lal government could complete just more than three years in power. Finally, INLD of Om Prakash Chautala and BJP fought 2000 Assembly elections jointly and Om Prakash Chautala became the Chief Minister with support of BJP’s legislators. But the relations between two parties could not survive for more than four years and the INLD supremo had recently severed party’s tie up with the BJP. |
Maken wants well-equipped, apolitical police force New Delhi, February 14 Mr Maken said the police force should serve the people in the manner conceptualised by Mahatma Gandhi.

SPECIAL FOCUS ON REWARI Rewari, February 14 Ram Sharnam, which has its headquarters at Delhi, was founded by the celebrated saint Swami Satyanand ji Maharaj, who resolutely maintained that a tiny package of ‘Ram Nam’ was an unfailingly panacea for the various ills afflicting the humanity at large. Dr Vishwa Mitra, who embraced saintliness after relinquishing his prestigious profession of an eye-surgeon long ago, is now the presiding saint of the society. Delivering his spiritual discourse at the massive congregation here, Dr Vishwa Mitra asserted that the purposefulness and fruitfulness of life lay not in becoming a renowned doctor, a big business magnate, a prominent educationist or any such dignitary and then securing popular accolades for such prestigious incumbency, but it was definitely rooted in total devotion and dedication to the Almighty creator and thereby performing one’s assigned duties sincerely, honestly and unselfishly. Describing the sordid state of internal conflicts, rifts and bickerings eating into the vitals of almost all families, societies and all sorts of organisations as a peculiar facet of Kaliyug (the present so-called Iron- age), he pointed out that simultaneously this very Kaliyug was also endowed with such virtuosity in which only a small dose of this divine medicine of ‘Ram Nam’ was sufficient to obliterate such ills. But strangely enough that notwithstanding the easy availability of this divine medicine to the rich and the poor alike, the true ‘Nam Jap’ had been proving a challenging task for most of the people. Emphasising the urgency of utter humility and pridelessness (lack of egotism) for optimum results, Dr Vishwa Mitra exhorted the devotees to resort to the package of ‘Ram Nam’ to ensure peace and happiness in life. Besides, he also urged them to make ‘Sant Milan’ (paying a visit to a saint at his hermitage) a regular feature of their life. Earlier, the enlightened gathering also recited in chorus the ‘Amritvani’ which contains 93 verses and which is the essence of the teachings of ‘Ram Sharnam’. After the discourse, Dr Vishwa Mitra formally initiated as many as 300 new devotees into the ways of ‘Ram Jap’ as enshrined in the ethics of ‘Ram Sharnam’. The devotees, who included a number of women too, had come from Bhiwani, Gurgaon, Rewari, Bawal, Kurukshetra, Faridabad (Haryana), Alwar, Behror, Kotputli, Bharatpur (Rajasthan) and Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh).
New President of Jodia Dham Mahant Sewa Das (33), a disciple of the celebrated Saint Om Das ji Maharaj, who is now 103 years old, was formally appointed as presiding saint of Jodia Dham near Soma Katopuri village, about 16 km from here yesterday. Jodia Dham is an ancient hermitage of the legendary saint Baba Gyan Das and it is now a holy place of the Vaishnav cult. There is also an old temple of Lord Shiva here. Besides the august presence of the centurion Baba Om Das, who is popularly known as Jangli Baba in the entire region, several hundred sadhus and saints from Patauda, Nakhrola, Daultabad, Bahora, Alamdipur, Jant-Janti, Manesar, Daroli, Narnaul and various other parts of the Rewari-Gurgaon region participated in the above samaroh. It was also attended by thousands of men, women and children of Somakhera, Katopuri, Rojhuwas, Lala, Seeha, Tatarpur, Haqdarpur and various other villages of the region. The veteran saint Baba Om Das gave his blessings to the newly appointed Mahant Sewa Das, while sadhus and saints too accorded sanction to his incumbency. Besides, the villagers also offered chaddars to Mahant Sewa Das in token of their recognition of his appointment on the gaddi of Jodia Dham. Mahant Sewa Das, who is also holding charge of the gaddi of Kadipur near Gurgaon, made it known that he would exercise control and supervision of Jodia Dham mainly through his assistants who would administer the affairs of the hermitage in his absence. Prasad was also offered to sadhus as well as thousands of villagers who thronged the Jodia Dham on this occasion. |

search within Youth is a time to fall in love and no wonder they are so much attracted to Valentine’s Day and what it promises to them: love and romance. Their hearts are filled with the poetry of romance, the melodies of yester years promising heaven on earth. There are few topics that instantly draw our attention than love. Every heart responds to its call; every heart yearns for more of it. Children are first introduced to the love of parents, in youth men and women fall in love; then, there is the love between friends, and the revealed love of God for humans. It would seem love is at the heart of all creation. And it takes myriad forms. “Will she love me; won’t she love me?’’ That is the heartbeat of the man and also that of his beloved. The mother or father, growing old with years, want to be certain in the depth of their hearts that their children will return the love they themselves have lavished on them when they were tiny tots. Go into all human relationships, and it will soon be clear that the binding factor is love and behind it is self-preservation. To put it in other words, love makes the world go round. The deepest yearning of man is to love and be loved. It is so easy for commercial firms and internet concerns to market any commodity that bears the label of ‘love.’ It is much in demand, but very limited in supply. This painful reality moved There was recently this humorous interlude of a smart Indian lady extracting thousands of dollars from a foreigner by donning the identity of a famous actress in love with him during chat sessions. One can imagine the despair that must have overtaken the “chatting’’ lover when he discovered that he was being duped. All romance begins with visions of heaven on earth and often flounders after a collision with the rock of reality. Disillusionment with love, romance and marriage must be a reality in many lives as the divorce graph here catches up with that of the west. With material advancement and empowerment of women to live their own lives, the man-woman romance has recorded a steep decline. It is as if man and woman have declared their independence from each other! They don’t need each other any more. This is in conflict with God’s dispensation at the time of creation of the universe. He made them male and female so that they would be helpmates to each other; a refuge to each other from the storms of life. Almost all poets in all languages have sung about marital bliss. They have said that the treasures of the deep are not so precious as are the concealed comforts of a man locked up in woman’s love. “What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined for life — to strengthen each other in all labour, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent, unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting,’’ wrote George Eliot, English novelist. And invariably all religions prescribe love as the foundation of all successful marriages. That one word sums up all the qualities that are needed for two strangers to be knit together and remain so until death. Read about it in a modern translation of an ancient Bible verse: ``Love is very patient and kind, never jealous and envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty, selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and hardly will even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices when truth wins out. If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him. Such is the characterization of love that will sustain any human relationship, let alone that of a husband and wife. But this `grade’ of love is found so much in short supply. Psychologists will come up with many explanations, but the one that will unmistakably fit us all is the domination of ``self.’’ By nature, man is programmed to prefer self above everything else. Until some how he receives the light from above to see life in its proper perspective, it will be a hindrance in promoting true love. Selfishness, which is reference for self, takes many forms. This is the dark spot or sin in man’s character that stains all that a man or woman attempts to do. The `` self-sins’’ are self-righteousness, self-pity, self-confidence, self-sufficiency, self-admiration and self love. A good part of human behaviour is coloured by them. They dwell too deep within us and are too much a part of our natures to come to our attention till the light of God is focused upon them. The grosser manifestations of these sins — egotism, exhibitionism and self-promotion — erode all expectations of two bound together in matrimony. Self is the opaque veil that hides the face of God from us. It can be removed only in spiritual experience, never by mere instruction. We may as well try to instruct cancer out of our system. There must be a work of God in destruction before we are free. We must invite the cross to do its deadly work within us. We must bring our self-sins to the cross for judgment. Love implies giving more than receiving. Love must be willing to give of itself. Love must be willing to suffer. Because suffering decentralizes self and makes love possible. — M P K Kutty  |
