Man stabbed by son

NEW DELHI: A 70-year-old man was allegedly stabbed by his own son over a monetary dispute in his Okhla village home in South Delhi on Friday. The police arrested the accused, Farukh Sheikh, later in the day from New Friends Colony.

The victim, Haji Ali Sheikh, who owned a furniture shop, apparently did not enjoy a cordial relationship with his son. Since Farukh's embroidery shop was running at a loss, he was reportedly upset. On Friday morning, Farukh allegedly quarrelled with his father over money.

Punters held

NEW DELHI: Three persons have been arrested by the North West Delhi police on charges of running a cricket `satta' racket in Rohini here. The police said one colour television set, two mobile phones and one notebook were recovered from the accused -- Sanjay Gera (29), Sanjay Kumar (29) and Sanjay Singh (31) -- who were taking bets on the West Indies-India match being played in Ahmedabad on October 26.

Following secret information regarding illegal cricket betting taking place at A-37, Vijay Vihar-II, a team led by Inspector Kali Ram Malik of the Special Staff raided the premises and nabbed all three accused from the first floor of the house while they were engaged in betting on the ongoing cricket match between India and West Indies.

The accused have been booked under the Gambling Act.
