Woman found hanging; husband, mom-in-law held
Ghaziabad, April 18 Rajesh Diwedi, in-charge, Indirapuram police station, said no suicide note had been recovered. On a complaint filed by Radhey Shyam Khanna, Roma's father, the police has registered a case under Section 304 of the IPC against her husband Yogi Khatri and his mother Darshna. Khatri lives in flat no. 31/8, Kasiya block, Shipra Sun City Society. On Sunday, at 10 am, Khatri allegedly found Roma hanging from a ceiling fan. He brought her down with the help of some neighbours and rushed her to Avantika Hospital, where doctors pronounced her dead. The police was informed around 1.30 pm. Kulbir Rathi from the Sun City police post was the first to reach the spot. He said it was not clear who had informed the police. Later, the Indirapuram police station in-charge Rajesh Diwedi examined the scene. However, the police did not buy Khatri's version that Roma had hanged herself. Diwedi said it did not seem like Roma could hang herself from the fan in question. The fan still had layers of dust all over it, he said. The police has taken the fan into its custody. Further, Khatri claimed that he had to tear Roma's chunni to bring her down, but the police could not find the other part of the chunni. Besides, injury marks were seen on Roma's hands and neck. Also, Khatri and his mother were at home when Roma allegedly hanged herself. How come they did not get a wind of the incident, the police quizzed them. The police suspects that Khatri and Roma probably had a fight on Saturday night and this could have lead to the killing. Roma's cousin Shobha said that Roma was a very cool and mature person. The police is keeping all these points in view while investigating the case.

16,118 lucky applicants allotted DDA flats
The DDA has, for the first time, taken the help of the Center for Development of Advance Computing (CDAC) and the draw was held at its office in Sector 62 under tight security, where hundreds of applicants waited for more than two hours. As many as 7,55,075 applicants were put through a computerised draw of lots in the presence of independent observers for 16,118 flats The flats were allotted to applicants of various categories which included categories of houses like EWS, 1-room tenement, 1-bedroom, 2-bedrooms and 3-bedrooms located almost all over Delhi. The results will also be published in newspapers tomorrow. Only a handful of mediapersons was allowed in a hall on the premises where the process was screened while draw panelists, independent senior observers from diverse fields and DDA officials were inside for the draw. The DDA officials said allotment letters would be issued within 15 days to the successful allottees with the request to attend the DDA office with original documents to verify the genuineness of the documents as well as of the applicants. For the first, time the draw was held at a place other than the DDA headquarters. However, many applicants were heard complaining that the process should have been open while some mediapersons were unhappy over not being allowed inside. A large number of policemen and PAC personnel were deployed in and around the building while traffic was diverted in the area. Fire engines were parked to handle any eventuality. The flats are located in areas like Vasant Kunj, Mukherjee Nagar, Motia Khan, Jasola, Dwarka, Rohini, Narela, Jaffarabad, Kondli and Gharoli. There are one, two and three bedroom flats with the prices ranging from Rs 9 lakh to Rs 1.12 crore. The housing scheme was launched on November 25, 2010. About the allegations of irregularities that had cropped up during the last draw of lots for its housing scheme, Delhi Development Authority officials had earlier said that all necessary checks and balances were in place. "The draw is being held in Noida only due to the fact that the number of applicants and the number of flats being allotted under the scheme is high as compared to earlier schemes. The CDAC has better wherewithal and expertise to conduct the draw of such a magnitude and it is not possible to transport the equipment from there," an official had said.

Will Civic Centre house MCD HQ?
New Delhi, April 18 "We have been maintaining that it is a disastrous idea to divide the MCD. Naturally, the Civic Centre will be the headquarters of only one part of the corporation once the MCD is split into five. The whole expenditure on the huge building will have no meaning," city mayor Prithvi Raj Sawhney said. He said the split will cause infrastructural problems as offices of five corporations, five commissioners and other additional staff will be needed. "We have been saying that it is being done with bad intentions. The Chief Minister wants to control the civic body. We are happy that our Congress colleagues have also recognized the problems and raised the issue with their leadership," the mayor said. Congress councillors led by the Leader of the Opposition J K Sharma had met Dikshit to oppose the proposed division while some party MLAs from Delhi recently met Congress president Sonia Gandhi to raise objection to the plan. The Congress Legislature Party in the city has, however, endorsed the proposal. In a politically sensitive move, the Delhi cabinet had earlier decided in principle to split the MCD into five smaller bodies ahead of 2012 municipal polls. "My suggestion is instead of five, the MCD can be divided into two parts - one corporation for the trans-Yamuna area and one for the rest. While the trans-Yamuna corporation can have its headquarters at Town Hall, the other part can have its office in Civic Centre," he said. Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Civic Centre, which was inaugurated by Union home minister P Chidambaram in April 2010, has one 28-storey tower and four six-storey blocks. Most of the executive wing of the MCD has already moved there though some offices under deliberative wing are yet to be shifted.
