Suspects rounded up
Tribune News Service
Rohtak, August 5 She had purchased rakhis for her two brothers, but before she could celebrate the festival, Anil was murdered. “It will now be difficult for her and the family to celebrate the festival throughout life,” said Anil’s father Ombir. Anil was stabbed to death by four youths while he was on the way to school here yesterday. Anil, a student of Class X of a school at Kathmandi on the Jhajjar road, had left his house for the school around 6.30 am for extra classes, but was allegedly gheraoed and stabbed to death by four youths just a few yards from the school gate. “We don’t know who could have murdered him. Anil was an innocent boy who just concentrated on his studies and was hoping to do well in the board exams,” said his father, a mason. According to Ombir, Anil recently had an altercation with a youth, aged about 19 years, living in their neighbourhood, who had allegedly tried to use Anil to send a message to a girl studying in Anil’s school. He said when he came to know about it, he not only pulled up his son but also complained to the parents of the youth. The youth, Pradeep, is reportedly missing from his house since yesterday. “Interestingly, it was Pradeep who informed them about the stabbing incident yesterday, but has not been traceable after that. It is learnt that one of the friends of Pradeep has been nabbed by the police. “We have rounded up some suspects, including some students, for interrogation, but the main suspect is yet to be nabbed,” said SSP Anil Kumar Rao. He said the case would be cracked soon as the police had got some clues.

Fake currency notes seized from woman
Yamunanagar, August 5 The police said Bina Devi was arrested from near Vishwa Karma Chowk after a tip-off that she was carrying fake currency. She was later produced in a local court and has been remanded in police custody till August 10. The fake currency notes of Rs 500 seized from Bina Devi were of “fine quality” and it was difficult for people to make out that these were not genuine. A special team of the NIA was intimated about the recovery of the fake currency as it had been constituted to deal with such cases all over India, the police said. The main supplier of fake currency notes was allegedly Ram Balaf Chauhan, a Nepali resident, who along with his three accomplices was arrested on August 3 by the Punjab police. Chauhan had allegedly supplied Rs 1 lakh to Bina Devi recently, the police said. A case under Sections 498-B and 498-C of IPC has been registred against Bina Devi at the Farakpur police station. Bina Devi had been arrested one and a half years ago with fake currency notes. The police had recovered 15 notes of Rs 500 each, DSP Mukesh Kumar said. “We will bring Chauhan here from Punjab on production warrants to interrogate him. The possibility of the involvement of more persons in the fake currency racket cannot be ruled out due to the proximity of the district to Uttar Pardesh. The kingpin of the fake currency mafia is believed to have been getting the supply of such notes from Pakistan and Singapore,” the DSP said. Bina Devi came in contact with Chauhan through her husband Raja who was lodged in the Ambala jail in a NDPS case. Another accused lodged in the jail had convinced Raja to join the “profitable business”. Subsequently, Raja told his wife Bina to work for the gang, the DSP added.
