Double murder: Helps, tenants questioned
New Delhi, August 22 The police said that the neighbours and tenants are also being questioned about the kind of persons who used to visit the house. "The initial probe has revealed that Durga was suffering from dementia due to which she required special attention. According to the family members, the domestic helps were changed as they were not taking proper care of Durga," a senior police official said. "We are also questioning the couple's tenants and trying to find out the details about those who visited the couple since Tuesday afternoon," the official added. The police said that there was no forcible entry to the house and it appeared that the accused were known to the victims. "The motive behind the murders seems to be robbery as their rooms were totally ransacked. Their neighbourhood is so congested that it's impossible to believe that unknown people would target the house," another official added. Investigators are trying to check the footage of a CCTV camera installed in the Shakarpur colony lane. According to the family members, they had been residing in the four-storey building since 1970. They were on the first floor, while the other floors were rented out to students. The deaths came to light when the elderly couple's maid arrived at around 7.10 pm and discovered their bodies. She immediately informed the Bararu family's tenants, who in turn made a police control room call around 7.15 pm. A case of murder and robbery has been lodged with the Shakarpur police station. |

Govt confers about plan on illegal colonies
New Delhi, August 22 The minister had said a few weeks ago that the government would announce the regularisation of these colonies on August 15, but it could not be done following objections by the agencies concerned. However, the Chief Minister is keen to regularise more than 900 colonies. In 2008, before the assembly election, the government had issued provisional certificates to the RWAs of 1,400 colonies, assuring them that the colonies would be authorised if the Congress came to power. More than three years have since passed. The government has again tried to regularise these colonies, a senior urban development official
said. The court had directed the government that before regularising the colonies, basic amenities should be provided to them. The government did some development work before the election. However, the work could not be completed afterwards. Besides, some unauthorised colonies were constructed on the forest |

There are legal hassles: BJP
New Delhi, August 22 He said the Delhi government will have to face many legal complications in the regularization of 917 colonies. But in view of the forthcoming assembly election, the government has again started selling dreams to the residents of unauthorized colonies. The Chief Minister had announced that the government would regularize 917 colonies at once. The legal formalities had been completed, she had claimed. Now the Chief Minister is saying that the Central Government should go to the High Court and get orders for regularization. The Delhi High Court has already given orders that if the government regularizes even one colony and starts the development work, it will have to inform the court about the legal status of the colonies being regularized, Gupta said. He said that the government has not completed the legal and documentary formalities about a single colony. Now it wants to save itself by putting the responsibility of regularization on the Central government, Gupta said. |

The accused was arrested by the police team, said Devesh Chandra Srivastav, Additional Commissioner, Central District. On sustained interrogation, Janak Raj disclosed that the recovered articles have been sent to him by one Ravi, the employee of the complainant. Ravi was also apprehended by the police team. Initially, he did not admit to his involvement in the commission of crime, but broke down later. "Ravi disclosed that he is working as a computer operator in the complainant's company. His job was to prepare the bills and dispatch the goods out of Delhi. The accused further disclosed that he used to prepare the fake bills in the name of fake firms and dispatch the socks to Dharuhera (Haryana), where Janak Raj sold the socks.

DUTA supports workers’ stir
New Delhi, August 22 DUTA protested against the attitude of the authorities in attacking the agitating karamcharis by getting their tent at the dharna site removed. "This is an attack on the democratically elected collective bodies," said Amar Deo Sharma, president of the association. "DUTA condemns the "No-Work-No-Pay" order slapped on the agitating karamcharis. Rather than trying to see reason, the university is indulging in dictatorial tactics," said Sharma. DUTA members said they would launch a joint struggle, if need be, for the realization of longstanding common demands. |
