Ggn police arrest youth for duping man of Rs 22L
GURUGRAM: Gurugram Police have arrested a man who reportedly duped a man of several lakhs by posing as an official of Maruti Udyog factory. The arrested person has been identified as Raju.
According to Gurugram Police officials, 25-year-old Raju is a native of Arrah in Bihar’s Bhojpur district. The accused posed to the unsuspecting victim — who originally belongs to Tamil Nadu — as an official of the Maruti Udyog factory unit in Gurugram and offered him the post of General Manager.
However, Raju demanded a security deposit of Rs 22 lakh from the man and assured that the amount will be returned to him later. After transferring the huge amount and receiving no response from Raju, the victim filed a police complaint and an investigation was initiated by Gurugram Police. The Cyber Crime branch eventually nabbed Raju, who is currently lodged at Palam Vihar police station. Senior officials of the Cyber Crime branch are interrogating Raju for further details. Duping people on the pretext of being employers from major companies is not a new criminal trend in the city. In 2016, there were more than 400 cases of such crimes reported with the Cyber Crime branch of Gurugram Police. NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Monday refused to interfere with the single judge’s interim order staying the AAP government’s latest nursery admission norms based on the neighbourhood criterion.
Expressing concern that the admission process has already commenced, a bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal said if the process was stalled, it would lead to an “irreversible” situation.
“Since the issue relates to admission of children in entry level classes, if the notification (neighbourhood as the sole criterion for deciding the admission) is allowed to be acted upon, it would lead to irreversible situation and in case the notification is ultimately quashed, the consequences would be very complex and serious,” the Bench said.
It said that the implementation of the notification which seeks to regulate the admissions in only 298 schools can await the final result of the writ petitions. “Hence, we do not find any justifiable reason to interfere with the order under appeal,” the Bench added.
The division Bench was hearing an appeal filed by the AAP government against a single judge’s February 14 interim order.
The single judge had stayed the Delhi government’s new 2017-2018 nursery admission norm, observing that “a student’s educational fate can’t be relegated to only his/her position on a map”.
Upholding the decision, the bench headed by Chief Justice, had asked a single judge to dispose of the main writ petitions as expeditiously as possible.
“We also make it clear that the observations/findings in our order as well as the order under appeal being prima facie in nature shall not come in the way of deciding the main writ petitions,” it added.
The single judge had ordered an interim stay of January 7 notification till the final disposal of the pleas challenging the Delhi government’s order.
In two directives on December 19, 2016 and January 7, the Delhi government had made it compulsory for the 298 private schools built on the Delhi Development Authority land to admit children for nursery who live in that neighbourhood or stay within a certain distance from the school.
Maintaining that the order passed by the single judge was “totally wrong”, “erroneous” and “against the law”, the AAP government had urged the division Bench to stay the operation of the order.
