Building collapse
New Delhi, July 6 The labourers, employed by the building owner, were demolishing the fourth floor at about 1.50 am on Saturday, when the recently constructed three storeys of the building fell. The 15 victims were trapped under the debris of the building. They were taken out during a rescue operation that lasted until 6.30 am today. The injured were taken to the Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital in Dilshad Garden. Most of them were discharged after receiving the first aid. The body of the labour contractor, Fukraan, was handed to his family after the police conducted the postmortem. The police have registered a case under Indian Penal Code sections 304 (culpable homicide) and 288 (negligent conduct with respect to repairing of a building). The owner of the collapsed building, Mehrajuddin, is reportedly yet to join the police investigations. The police claim that the owner had not received clearance from the East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) and therefore is afraid of joining the investigations. EDMC Mayor Ram Narayan Dubey, who visited the spot at about 2:30 pm on Saturday, said "We have ordered an inquiry into the incident and things will be clear soon," he said. According to the police's preliminary investigations, they received a call informing them about cracks in the building at about 6.38 pm on Friday. Following the call, several police officers and officials of the EDMC and local administration reached the building site. They decided to evacuate the building and adjacent structures. The building housed a jeans manufacturing factory at the basement and a defunct motorcycle showroom on the first floor. "The municipal corporation issued a three-day notice to the building owner and asked him to demolish it, otherwise they would," said a police officer. According to the agreement with the officials, Mehrajuddin's nephew, Faisal, directed his own labourers to demolish the building. |

After the party, Prakhar allegedly offered to drop her to her residence in his Skoda car, according to the police. The victim initially refused the lift, but when she could not find a taxi, she accepted his offer. Meanwhile, his friends also joined him in his car.

Most colleges close admission to popular DU courses
New Delhi, July 6 While the picture looked somewhat similar in admissions to most preferred courses for the OBCs, there appeared to be a marginal decline in the cut-off percentage for the reserved categories, Scheduled Castes (SC) Scheduled Tribes (ST) and People With Disabilities (PWD) in most of the courses. Knowing the fact that colleges are bound to admit students who qualify the cut-off list, Daulat Ram College (DRC) wound up its students' intake for this academic year in economics, English, Hindi at 95 pc, 89.5 pc and 74.2 pc respectively. For B. Com., DRC has declared a qualifying score of 95.25 pc, a dip of .25 pc even as it shut its annual intake for OBC candidates with as much as nine pc decrease to 70 pc in the cut-off percentage for PWD category. When it comes to the most preferred courses, several other colleges
such as Ram Lal Anand College, Ramjas College, too have more or less closed their admission both for the general and OBC categories. Ram Lal Anand College too has closed its admission in commerce, English Hindi, political science, history, microbiology both for the general and OBC students and in Hindi it has stopped admitting students in all categories except PWD fixing up a cut-off of 58 pc. Those looking upon Ramjas as one of the options for B.Com. course would be disappointed to know that it has sealed its admission for B.Com. course for general, OBC as well as SC category candidates as is the case for Hindi in which it has stopped admitting students in general and PWD categories while in economics, statistics, mathematics, physics and zoology, the doors are closed for general category students. Nonetheless, for those hoping to pursue humanities with English have a reason to cheer as the college has declared the fourth cut-off though with a minor dip with the qualifying percentage for the general category being at 90.25 and above (.75 less than the previous cut-off) while for the OBC, it stood at nearly three pc less at 80.25 which is the same for the SC category. |

AAP slams UPA in Ishrat encounter case
New Delhi, July 6 According to the party representatives, the involvement of senior IB officials in "conspiring, planning and participating in the cold-blooded murder to the extent of even planting weapons on the bodies of the victims shows that the UPA was also complicit in this violation of the rule of law." This comes days after the revelations that the CBI is suspecting the role of IB officials and political hands in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case. Urging that the CBI chargesheet should be taken seriously in this case as this is a court-monitored investigation which reconfirms what was already established by a magisterial inquiry and the second inquiry conducted by an SIT, they added that such is the clout of the IB within the Home Ministry that the CBI has been prevented from chargesheeting the IB officials against whom the agency has collected enormous evidence. |

New Delhi, July 6
"The complainant reported that the money was arranged by his father after selling their land and mortgaging the family's gold ornaments," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi District), S B S Tyagi.
The accused has been identified as P. Bhangaru Raju, a resident of Vishakhapatnam. The victims are named Gondsei Sri Nagar Reddy and his brother G Srikanth, according to Tyagi. They are both B.Tech. graduates. They were searching for jobs when they came in contact with Raju in December 2010. He had promised to get them appointed as 'store men' at Vishakhapatnam Steel Plant. Raju had promised them jobs in lieu of money. The victims had paid Rs 14.70 lakh in four instalments. To convince the victims, Raju had shown an appointment letter from a Joint Secretary of the Ministry of Steel. After taking the money, he fled and was only communicating to the victims over the phone, giving them false assurances. The Vishakhapatnam Police approached the Delhi Police to trace him as his last phone was made from near the Imperial Hotel in Connaught Place. The police caught Raju from a room in the Western Court Hotel. |
