CRPF woman cop found dead
New Delhi, May 13 The incident took place in between 2 am and 4 am, the official added. "We had received a call at the police control room (PCR) around 5.30 am reporting that Siuli was found lying in a pool of blood by one of her colleagues. She was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared her brought dead. She had suffered multiple gunshot wounds," the police official said. As no suicide note was recovered from the spot, the police is investigating the matter under Section 174 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPc) to ascertain whether it was an accidental death or suicide. "A crime team has inspected the spot and forensic experts collected samples. The postmortem has also been conducted, but the exact cause behind her death can only be ascertained after we receive the report," the official added. The incident came to light around 4 am, the time when her duty time finished. Another woman constable went to relieve Siuli from her duty. "There is no information till now as to when the incident took place but since she joined her duty at 2 am, we suppose it must have taken place somewhere between 2 am to 4 am. The woman constable, who came to relieve her, found her lying in a pool of blood," the official said. Siuli had bullet wounds in her stomach. She was carrying her self loading rifle. The woman was posted with 135 Battalion of CRPF based in West Delhi. She was, however, moved to the 88-Battalion, on duty from 2 am to 4 am on the watch tower. Siuli, along with some other women constables, was earlier moved from the CRPF's 135 Battalion, based in Vikashpuri, to 88 Mahila Battalion on April 7. The police has informed her family members in West Bengal about the incident. |

Metro Phase 3 to connect Delhi’s shopping hubs
New Delhi, May 13 Four major markets of the city - Sarojini Nagar, INA, South Extension and Lajpat Nagar - will have dedicated Metro stations, connecting them for people's benefit. The INA and Lajpat Nagar Metro stations will be converted into interchange stations to further boost the connectivity of these markets. "This will also provide a great boost to the market of South Delhi as the DMRC's plan of constructing Metro stations at Sarojini Nagar, INA, South Extension and Lajpat Nagar with inter-station distances ranging from less than a kilometre to approximately one-and-half km will provide a great impetus to business improvements in the area," said a spokesperson for the DMRC. This chain of four consecutive Metro stations will come up on arterial Ring Road of the national capital catering to the four prominent markets of South Delhi. As per the detailed project report (DPR), more than two lakh passengers will use these stations primarily to reach these prominent markets of the city which specialise in selling clothes, shoes and other materials. "After the construction of this new line from Mukundpur to Yamuna Vihar, shoppers will be able to reach these markets directly from far-flung areas of east Delhi as well as North Delhi. The Sarojini Nagar and South Extension markets have no Metro connectivity. Though these locations are well connected by buses, parking continues to be a major constraint for the shoppers. The Metro stations which will come up very close to these markets (within 50 m) will facilitate the easy movement of shoppers to the markets from the Metro stations," added the spokesperson. The shopping hubs will also be directly accessible from areas like Mayur Vihar, Trilok Puri (East Delhi), Ashram, Sriniwaspuri (South Delhi), Azadpur, Shalimar Bagh, Netaji Subhash Place (North Delhi), Punjabi Bagh, Rajouri Garden, Maya Puri (West Delhi).

Man held for murder in Uttam Nagar
New Delhi, May 13 The body was found on the roof of the second floor of this house that belonged to one Shakir Hussain. "There were injuries on the deceased's head and a lot of blood had been lost. A broken 'balli' (wooden stick) was also lying near the body. Blood stains were found on a broken piece of 'balli'. One identity card, an old pocket diary and some other papers were also found scattered near the body. On the basis of identity card and other papers, the body was identified as Ashish Dixit," said a police official. Investigations revealed that Dixit was living with his mother at a rented house in the area and did odd jobs. He also sold readymade garments in the weekly markets. Dixit and his mother developed close relations with the family of their landlord, Rajni Sharma. About two months ago, Dixit's mother expired after which he vacated the rented room and began to live with his maternal uncle at Rohini. But Dixit continued visiting Sharma at odd hours sometimes. Rajni's elder son Ankit suspected illicit relationship between his mother and Dixit. He soon decided to kill Dixit. On May 8, when Ankit returned home around 9:45 pm, he found that Dixit was coming out of his house. He caught hold of Dixit and took him to a nearby house under construction. He took Dixit on the roof of this house and killed him by hitting his head with a 'balli'. Ankit took away his wrist watch and the new shoes as well. His house was raided, but he was not found there on May 9 and 10 by the police. Finally on May 11 around 10:30 pm, he was apprehended near District Park, Paschim Vihar after a tip-off. On sustained interrogation, he admitted to his crime. Ankit said that he warned Dixit several times, but he kept visiting his mother. "Dixit suspected that he had developed illicit relationship with his mother as his father had been ill for a long time. The blood-stained clothes, slippers of the accused, wrist watch and the new shoes of the deceased were recovered from his house," added the police official.

BJP wants expulsion of illegal Bangladeshis
New Delhi, May 13 "It is a serious issue. The government should take immediate action on these illegal refugees, otherwise the national Capital will have another influx of Bangladeshi migrants. There are already more than one million illegal migrants from that country in Delhi," Malhotra said in a statement today. The senior BJP leader reminded the government that the High Court and the Supreme Court had several times directed the administration to expel these migrants from Delhi. The court also directed that one thousand Bangladeshi migrants should be expelled from the Capital every month. "But due to the vote bank politics, the court's directives have not been implemented and not a single migrant has been thrown out," he said. Malhotra warned the government that delay in taking action against these illegal migrants will create problems for the common citizens besides having serious repercussions on the law and order. He urged the Prime Minister and the Home Minister to take action in order to remove these encroachers from Vasant Kunj and send them back to Myanmar or Bangladesh.

An uphill task to curb Metro suicides
The repeated suicide cases on Metro tracks have become a big headache for the authorities. In the past four months, there have been eight suicides in the Capital. In 2011, the number was four. Besides increasing security at the stations, plans are on to put up half screen doors on five platforms which see the maximum passenger footfall. The door is like a glass barrier on the edge of the platform which would prevent a passenger from jumping onto the tracks. Cameras have also been installed on platforms to keep an eye on such cases. However, the authorities admit that it is going to be an uphill task to curb the menace. Question paper goofs
Errors in exam papers at Delhi University were the ruling trend last week. While the university administration was quick to blame the teachers on the first day of the exam when 15,000 students were served the wrong question papers, the errors on the following days failed to evoke any response whatsoever. For nearly four days, question papers arrived as late as 50 minutes inside the examination halls, and in some cases, question papers were not enough to be distributed among the whole lot. The papers had to be photocopied at the last minute and then handed over to the examinees. "The university blamed the departments on the first day. But the errors continued to happen, showing the apathy of the administration towards the examination process," said a senior faculty member at Stephen's College. Christian
President
Christian leaders in Delhi feel that even more than 60 years after Independence, the country has not given a single President though the Christian community has been in the van of progress-be it in modern education or health services. Arnold James, a Christian leader in Delhi, said, "We have president of Muslim, Sikh and Hindu communities. However, the country's leadership never promotes the name of a Christian leader for the head of the state." Even now various names like former President APJ Abdul Kalam, Finance Minister Parnab Mukherjee, et al are floating around, but nobody talks about Christian leaders, not even the Congress party, he said. Unauthorised colonies
Just after the Delhi cabinet's decision on development work in unauthorized colonies last week, people as a whole have started speaking in undertones. They say that it is just an election issue. The government is not serious about the welfare of the citizens. As the assembly election is due next year, the routine work of drawing the attention of voters has begun. The government had issued the provisional approval certificate to resident welfare associations of the unauthorized colonies in 2008 just before the last assembly election. Now the Congress has lost the municipal elections. Thus, it has just reiterated the same issue of unauthorized colonies, feel many people. Giving free
education
Jathedar Santokh Singh, the late Sikh leader in Delhi, was instrumental in setting up Sikh schools and institutions, though he was an illiterate man. Manjeet Singh, chairman of Jathedar Santokh Singh Foundation, inaugurated recently a free computer training centre at Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Navin, West Patel Nagar. Pushpinder Singh, Member, Delhi Minorities Commission, said that computer education is a necessity of the time and Singh Sabha Gurudwara Navin has come forward to give free education to students of any religion or caste.

Cooperative movement helps development: CM
New Delhi, May 13 Speaking in an international cooperative year celebration function organised at Yamuna Vihar (North-East), the Chief Minister said that immediately after Independence the first Prime Minister, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, gave a mantra of cooperative. Lakhs of cooperative societies in the country had been accelerating the pace of development. The cooperative movement has also gone a long way in consolidating the benefits of women empowerment. It has also helped Delhi in bringing development through cooperative efforts. The movement became helpful in constructing a large number of dwelling units for members of the cooperative group housing societies in Delhi, she added.
