Kherki Daula plaza: Couple assaults women toll agents

GURUGRAM: A couple has been accused of allegedly beating up a female toll collector at Kherki Daula toll plaza on the Delhi-gurugram Expressway on Friday morning.

The couple — who live in a condominium in Sector 92 — has also been accused of assaulting and abusing two more female employees, when they asked the man driving the car to pay the requisite toll or to produce his identity card and vehicle permit that would enable him to seek an exemption from paying the toll.

The i ncident took place around 9.30 am Friday at Lane-7 of the Kherki Dhaula toll plaza and the entire incident was captured on CCTV cameras at the booths, said the police.

The Kherki Daula police have invoked the Preventive Detention Act (PD Act) against the accused woman under Sections 107/151 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CRPC) and taken her to the police station as ‘preventive measures’.

Police said they have received complaints from both the parties and are probing the matter. NEW DELHI: Shamsher Singh, the father of “missing” Ganga activist Mahant Gopal Das, Friday appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to find his son.

Das (36), who has been on a fast unto death seeking better management and conservation of Ganga and its tributaries, has been missing since he was discharged from AIIMS last Wednesday.

“He (Modi) is the Prime Minis- ter. It is his duty to ensure that people are safe in this country. More so, because my son has not been asking for anything but a clean Ganga and cow protection,” said Singh flanked by AAP MLA Somnath Bharti.

“He was fasting to save Ganga. That’s why he was removed...” said Bharti on Friday.

The BJP, meanwhile, accused the AAP of politicising the incident.
