Around the City

Foggy morning likely

NEW DELHI JAN. 10. Delhi will wake up to a misty foggy morning on Sunday with a partly cloudy sky in the afternoon and evening. The minimum temperature is expected to be around 7 degrees Celsius.

While Safdarjung recorded a maximum of 22.2 and a minimum of 7.7 degrees Celsius, at Palam it was 22.1 and 7.6 degree Celsius respectively. The maximum humidity recorded at Safdarjung and Palam were 86 and 97 per cent while the minimum was 39 and 40 per cent respectively.

Liquor racket busted

NEW DELHI JAN. 10 .In yet another case involving smuggling of military canteen liquor, a man allegedly carrying 192 liquor bottles meant for sale only to Defence personnel was caught by Army personnel in Delhi Cantonment on Thursday night. He was later handed over to the police.

The accused, Pradeep, was coming from Gurgaon to the Capital when the Army personnel on patrol intercepted his Maruti Zen. On searching, they allegedly recovered 192 bottles of rum from the vehicle, following which they informed the local police. During interrogation, Pradeep allegedly disclosed that he had procured the bottles from someone in Gurgaon.

Since the bottles bear stickers suggesting that they were meant for sale only to Defence personnel, the police suspect that they had been procured from Canteen Store Department. However, they also suspect that the liquor might turn out to be spurious. Hence samples of the seized liquor have been sent to the lab for tests. Meanwhile, efforts are on to nab the supplier.

Cyclist run over

NEW DELHI JAN. 10 .A 30-year-old cyclist was run over by a private bus at Khajuri Khas in North-East Delhi this morning. The bus driver has been arrested.

Satyavir, a resident of Khajuri Khas, was going on his cycle when the bus plying on route No. 165 ran over him near the Bhajanpura bus shelter. He died on the spot. The police have registered a case of causing death due to rash and negligent driving and arrested the erring driver, Hari Lal.

Six arrested

NEW DELHI JAN. 10. Six persons, who were allegedly planning to commit a dacoity, were arrested by the Crime Branch from near Haiderpur Water Plant at Shalimar Bagh in North-West Delhi on Friday.

The police spotted the accused, Babul, Paramjit, Aslam, Anwar Hussain, Fazlu and Bambaia, when they had gathered in an MCD Park. Subsequently, they were arrested. During interrogation, they disclosed that most of them were into the world of crime for the past eight years.

Telgi case NEW DELHI JAN. 10 .The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken over the investigations into two of the fake stamp paper cases pertaining to the scamster, Abdul Karim Telgi, which had been registered by the Delhi police.

It is learnt that the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Delhi police had written twice to the CBI to take over the cases registered at Daryaganj and Hauz Khas police stations, as they had inter-State ramifications. On Friday, the CBI registered two cases against those and took over the investigations. The EOW had already arrested over half-a-dozen people in these cases.

Earlier, the CBI had taken over the investigations into another fake stamp paper case registered at Kalkaji police station, but no significant development has been made in that matter so far. It is learnt that yet another case, which was registered at Defence Colony police station, would also be handed over to the CBI within a fortnight. Sources said, the EOW is relieved to hand over the cases, as several questioned were being raised about the alleged negligence of Delhi police officers in probing them.
