Fake currency racket busted, 3 held
New Delhi, April 28 The notes are in the denominations of Rs 500 notes and are excellent imitations. The quality of the currency notes is very good and reportedly supplied by the counter links of Pakistan to some agent in Bangladesh and being smuggled into the country through the porous Indo-Bangladesh border in West Bengal. On April 19, the police got an information that two persons, Irshad and Afzal, are professional suppliers of fake currency and often seen near the Inderlok Metro station parking. If someone gives the reference of Yakub to them, they will deal supply currency notes. Taking into consideration the gravity of the information as fake currency is being infused into the Indian market which is adversely affecting the Indian economy, a team of the anti-auto theft squad laid a trap. Within an hour, Irshad Ahmad, Afzal Ahmad and Yakub were nabbed and the fake currency was seized from their possession. A case of fake currency racket was registered at the Sarai Rohilla police station. Efforts are being made to identify and nab the other members of the gang and their other links, said a police official. On sustained interrogation, Afzal said that he belonged to a very poor family. During his stay in Delhi, he came in contact with Yakub, a resident of Bijnaur, UP. Yakub, the kingpin, has always been active in the currency racket. Afzal and Irshad pumps currency notes brought by Yakub and his men in the market of Delhi. He supplies fake currency to some select people. Various times he, along with his associate Irshad, supplied fake currency in UP, Jharkhand, MP and Rajasthan. Earlier, they used to take fake currency of small amounts which could easily be pumped in the market. He bought the currency on the commission basis. |

Free gurdwara of ‘unwanted’ elements: SAD (Badal)
New Delhi, April 28 "If the gurdwara premises are not vacated, activists of the Badal group will take the law into their own hands for getting the place vacated," said Delhi unit chief of the Shiromani Akali Dal (Badal) Manjit Singh GK. He alleged that caretaker president of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC), Paramjeet Singh Sarna appointed them for his personal work. During the municipal elections, he allegedly used these men against the Badal's candidate in Punjabi Bagh. However, they were arrested by the local police. Manjit said that the general secretary of the SAD (Badal) was attacked by these men on the gurdwara premises. He had hidden himself in the house of one Mehinder Singh. Bhogal was saved only when the police reached the spot. Manjit Singh said that Bhogal had gone to gurdwara along with a team of the DDA for a survey of Guru Harkishan Hospital. As he and the DDA team members left for the hospital, youths came out with swords and sticks. The police registered an FIR under section 452 / 34 on the basis of a complaint lodged by Bhogal. The FIR said that "Paramjeet Singh Sarna has appointed a group of youths in the Kanahya institute located on the gurdwara premises. When I went to gurdwara to pay my obeisance, Sarna's men armed with swords and sticks attacked me. I entered the house of one Mahender Singh to hide myself. Four or five men of Sarna also entered the house. I went inside the kitchen and bolted the door from inside. When the police came, these men rushed and threw stones from the roof of the institute building." In the FIR, he said that appropriate action should be taken against the attackers. "I can identify the youths if they are brought before me," Bhogal said. Manjit alleged that these men living in the institute building are given a salary of Rs 10,000 per month by the DSGMC president who does not have finance to give salaries to schoolteachers sitting on dharna for the last few days outside Guru Harkishan School at Fateh Nagar. These youths have no work to do in the gurdwara, said the Delhi unit chief of the Shiromani Akali Dal
(Badal). |

Govt claim on per capita income misleading, says BJP
New Delhi, April 28 Gupta said that 40 per cent people in Delhi are living below poverty line. The government has increased the minimum wages from Rs 256 per day to Rs 270 per day. How can a common man face 50 per cent price spiral with only this much increase in their income? The government stated yesterday that they had formed teams to raid the retail vegetable sellers, but nobody has seen these teams working anywhere in Delhi. Vegetable producers are being cheated in the wholesale market and the common man is being looted by the retailers, Gupta alleged. The data issued by the government about the rise in income shows that the state of Goa, being ruled by BJP, is at the top. In Goa, the per capita income is Rs 1.92 lakh whereas the per capita income in Delhi is Rs 1.75 lakh. In order to curb the price rise, the Goa government reduced VAT on petrol, making it cheaper by Rs 11 per litre. In contrast, the Delhi government increased VAT on many commodities with the result, the prices have risen manifold, said the BJP president. |
