Murder plot in Bhondsi jail: Gurugram cops begin investigation
GURUGRAM: Officials of Gurugram police have begun their investigations into the alleged murder plot being hatched inside the Bhondsi jail to eliminate a serving crime branch police officer.
What is even more shocking is the fact that the contract was allegedly given by another police official, who was sent to jail on charges of corruption.
According to sources, law enforcement officials have now got in touch with dozen of gangsters to get into the nitty-gritty of the case.
Chilling details emerged when a dreaded gangster by the name of Surender, alias Sunda, claimed that he was offered a amount of Rs 25 lakh by the said official to kill his counterpart.
Sunda further mentioned that as he was being shifted to another jail, he gave the official the reference of another gangster, named Bittu, who could fulfil this objective.
It is believed that Bittu was also paid Rs 1.5 lakh in advance by the official, so that he could start the process. However, the plan was not executed, the reasons for which has still not been explained by the gangsters who are being interrogated.
Even though there has been no official confirmation, the Gurugram police are also interrogating gangs to gather more leads in the case.
“We have begun our investigation. As and when there is any major leads, we will definitely announce it in front of the media,” said Sumit Kuhar Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime), Gurugram.
This is not for the first time when sinister criminal plots have been hatched inside the jail.
Recently, law enforcement officials in the Millennium Ctiy had arrested three sharp shooters of Ashok Rathee gang for firing gun shots at the cashier of a bakery.
This was done in order to intimidate the owner for paying the ransom of Rs 50 lakh.
Co-incidentally, Rathee is also accused of hiring sharp shooters within the prison who then murdered his wife by shooting her dead in Sohna road in 2016.
There were also reports that dreaded gangsters Binder Gurjar and Manjeet Mahal demanded extortion of Rs10 lakhs and an Audi car from another prisoner Manish Bharadwaj who has been held up for illegal arms act.
Shockingly this is for the second time when Manjeet Mahal will be charged for extortion within the jail premises. NEW DELHI: The national Capital, which at times is a centre of social and political protests of diverse nature, witnessed a decrease of more than 11 per cent in such events last year compared to 2016, according to a Delhi Police report.
Delhi, being the seat of the Union government, witnesses a large number of demonstrations, rallies and marches, and dharnas by organisations from across India on political, social, labour, youth and students issues, the report said.
In 2017, a total of 9,546 different types of protests were held in Delhi, which was 11.47 per cent less than 10,784 protests witnessed in 2016, as per the Special Branch data.
The protests included 4,116 dharnas, 1,586 demonstrations, 320 processions, 443 marches and rallies, 751 meetings and 2,330 other miscellaneous programmes.
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) banned all dharnas and protests at Jantar Mantar, a hotspot of agitations, in October last year, saying that they violated the environmental law.
And this contributed to bringing down the number of protests, a senior police offcial said.
The report claimed all protests were handled smoothly by the police.
The Special Branch is primarily tasked with the collection of intelligence having a bearing on prevention of untoward incidents and maintenance of law and order in Delhi.
Additionally, Delhi Police’s PCR unit attended over 14 crore distress calls and took 53,469 injured persons to hospitals for immediate medical aid in the last year.
The PCR staff also apprehended 260 persons, including 71 robbers, 23 bootleggers, and 43 snatchers, according to the statistics shared by the Delhi Police.
