Ganga Ram cardiologist shot by maid’s lover
New Delhi, September 19 According to the police, Dharmendar reached Dhawan's first floor house in New Rajinder Nagar by climbing the balcony. "Dharmendar had apparently come to see the maid, Sangeeta, who lived with Dhawan's family. When he banged on the balcony door, Dhawan woke up to check. It was then that Dharmendar shot at Dhawan four to five times. Dhawan was rushed to hospital but he succumbed to his injuries," said a senior police official. Dhawan's son Sarthak Dhawan has claimed that Dharmender used to threaten his father, saying that he was Sangeeta's husband and that she should be handed over to him. In his FIR, Sarthak has mentioned that Dharmendar had tried to threaten his father at his hospital as well. Darmendar managed to escape from the crime scene, but was arrested later. According to reports, Sangeeta had complained to Dhawan about Dharmendar harassing her. They had even contemplated approaching the police. Dharmendar used to work as a guard at Sangeeta's former workplace and wanted to marry her. He had been pursuing her since then. However, what made him kill Dhawan is yet unclear. Investigators believe that it could be a case of mistaken identity or a crime committed in a fit of rage. The role of the maid is also being investigated. Dhawan, who was the vice-chairperson of the department of cardiology, had been with Sir Ganga Ram Hospital for the past 20 years. He had joined the hospital as a junior consultant in 1992. Dhawan is survived by his wife Jyoti Dhawan and two sons. |

High Court stops pork-beef festival at JNU
New Delhi, September 19 The order was passed by a Bench of Acting Chief Justice AK Sikri and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw. The proposed festival had sparked protests by several right-wing groups, following which the university authorities on September 17 warned the students against organising such an event. Three days ago, the administration put up a circular prohibiting
possession, cooking or consumption of beef on the campus under the law that prohibits cow slaughter. The court direction came on a petition filed by the Rashtriya Goraksha Sena. The group had asked the court to order JNU to not permit serving of beef, pork or anything that hurts religious sentiments and initiate disciplinary action against the organisations promoting such festivals. The festival in question was being organised a students' body in the university "The New Materialists". The court order has been welcomed by the right-wing organisations. "The verdict is the victory of all 'gau bhakts' (cow worshipers)," said Satyendra Mohan, secretary general, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Delhi. |
