A 38-year-old businessman was strangled to death by robbers when he resisted them at his farmhouse here early on Thursday, police said. Five robbers have been arrested.
Investigators said the incident occurred between 1 and 2.30 a.m when the robbers barged into Rohan Gupta's two-storey farmhouse in south Delhi's Chhhatarpur area by scaling its wall.

The men attempted the same modus operandi on Gupta. But he woke up and started fighting back.
"In the scuffle, the culprits strangulated Gupta to death," the officer said.

New Delhi: Two persons, including a police constable, were killed and as many injured when a truck rammed a police barricade and hit three cars in R K Puram area of south Delhi, in the wee hours on Thursday.

The incident occurred at 12.50 am near R K Khanna stadium as the truck, loaded with cables, approaching from Africa Avenue did not stop at the barricade raised by R K Puram Police Station staff for checking vehicles, police said.

It first hit a car, then ran over a police constable, Dipak (36), and also hit a car he had stopped for checking papers, killing one of its three occupants, a senior officer said.


The truck driver, however, did not stop the vehicle and sped away towards Vasant Vihar, hitting another car and damaging it badly near Hyatt hotel on Ring Road. He then fled leaving behind the truck, which was confiscated, police said.

The cleaner of the truck, identified as Rahul, was arrested, and hunt is on to nab the driver, Ram Kishan, a resident of Hardoi in Uttar Pradesh, the officer said, adding the truck was going to Narayana from Faridabad in Haryana.

There is no end to crime in Delhi! We have to be vigilant! Elderly people should not be left alone! Do a police verification of your servants! There are no short cuts to security!

 

[krish44]

It is the people who keep late hours who get hurt.

I see no rationale for anyone including women roam around after midnight.

Similarly the business types living in farm houses have a lifestyle not matched by normal folk. They have more enemies than friends.

After 10pm the truck trafffic into and out of delhi starts. It is nightmare to be caught on delhi roads after 10pm. specially in colonies close to highways.

Delhi is normally enjoyable . To live a good life one must know when to go out and return safely.

It is the indiscipilned who get hurt

[h=1]Delhi hospital to pay Rs 7 lakh for wrongly transplanting pace maker[/h]A consumer forum in Delhi has directed a city hospital to pay over Rs 7 lakh to a Delhi Police personnel for wrongly transplanting a pace-maker which was not needed, saying it was “against all medical ethics”. South Delhi District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum bench, presided by Justice N K Goel, asked Rohini-based Saroj Hospital and Heart Institute to pay Rs 7,24,135 to Ravinder Singh Pawar, then Public Relations Officer at the Delhi Police Headquarters. In its order, the forum asked the hospital to reimburse Rs 5,24,135, spent by Pawar as the medical expense, and also directed it to pay Rs two lakh as compensation to him for causing mental agony and harassment and cost of litigation. “We hold that Opposite Party-2 (hospital) had implanted the AICD (automated implantable cardioverter defibrillator) in the complainant without there being a need to do so, only with a view to earn profits.
According to the complaint, Pawar, posted as Public Relations Officer at Delhi Police Headquarters, had suffered two heart attacks in 2003 and 2005. In September 2006, he again suffered chest pain and was rushed to the hospital. An operation was conducted and a permanent pace-maker was installed, citing his serious condition. The hospital charged a bill of Rs 5,24,135, the complaint said. Later when he submitted the bills for reimbursement under Central Government Health Scheme, he was informed that the Standing Committee of medical experts did not recommend the implantation and, therefore, the payment was not made to him, it said. Thereafter, Pawar approached the forum stating that the hospital had advised him wrongly and implanted the pace-maker by creating panic, which amounted to unfair trade practice, cheating and deficiency. Pawar had sought a direction to the hospital to pay over Rs 10 lakh compensation. In its reply, however, the hospital had denied all the allegations levelled against it.

Delhi Man Breaks Right Leg In Accident, Top Hospital Operates On His Left Leg. Wait... What?

Fortis hospital in Shalimar Bagh on Wednesday sacked two orthopaedic surgeons, two nurses and an OT technician for operating on the wrong foot of a 24-year-old youth. Ravi Rai, the patient, had fractured his right foot when he slipped on a staircase. The doctors put multiple screws inside the left foot instead. Ravi's family said they even tried to brush it off initially as a mistThe doctors said surgery was needed to fix the bones. We agreed but wanted some time to arrange the insurance papers. So a temporary cast was put. It's incomprehensible how they missed the marks left by the cast and operated on the wrong foot. It is a case of medical negligence and the doctors must be punished suitably for this," said Ram Karan Rai, Ravi's father He added that when Ravi came to his senses, he screamed about the wrong surgery and that's how the doctors realised their error. The hospital issued a statement: "Following yesterday's incident, we immediately set up an expert committee to enquire into the matter. Their preliminary view suggests that in the rarest of aberrations, the operating team may have disregarded and sidestepped due processes. We take our obligation to our patients very seriously. As this is a zero tolerance area for us, the services of erring doctors and OR personnel (five) have been dispensed forthwith."[/h]The statement further added that action against some others was also being contemplated, pending enquiry.
Ravi has been shifted to Max hospital in the same area where doctors have been cogitating over the next course of action.
Dr Palash Gupta, associate director of joint replacement and orthopaedics at Max Shalimar Bagh told TOI that the screws would have to be removed from the undamaged heel first.
If the angle of the weight-bearing region of the injured heel is found to be extensively damaged, we might have to do surgery to stabilise it but that's not been decided yet," he said.

TOI spoke to many orthopaedic surgeons who said such negligence was unimaginable and reflective of poor observation of protocol for surgery.
[h=3]"There are laid down rules for site marking in the ward and time out prior to surgery. The operating team reconfirms all details. Also, screws have to be fixed under X-ray. How could they operate on the heel that had no visible damage?" said a doctor

Consumer forum asks Delhi AIIMS to pay Rs 1 lakh for negligent eye treatment

The AIIMS has been directed to pay Rs one lakh by a consumer forum in Delhi to the parents of a girl child for alleged negligence in carrying out transplantation of cornea in her eye.
South Delhi District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum bench presided by justice NK Goel asked the hospital to pay the money to the parents of Haryana resident Baby Priyanka, noting that three corneal graftings (surgery for cornea transplantation) in her left eye failed consecutively as they were done “without proper care and caution”.
“The three consecutive failures by the doctors of the hospital (AIIMS) establishes that corneal graftings were not done with proper care and caution as was expected from medical experts and certainly failure was the result of negligence on the part of doctors in doing the corneal graftings,” the forum said.
“Therefore, we hold the opposite parties (AIIMS and its doctors) guilty of deficiency in service,” it said, directing AIIMS to pay Rs one lakh compensation to victim’s parents.
It also noted that “there is every reason to believe that corneal grafting on all the three occasions in the left eye of the girl was done by the junior/trainee/new doctors and the grafting failed on all three occasions and, therefore, she was advised to undergo fourth corneal grafting in June 2005.”

According to the complaint, the girl had suffered injury in her left eye with a knife and was operated by a doctor at Patiala in April 1998.
However, when she did not get any relief, she was taken to AIIMS for treatment in October 1998 and the three corneal graftings were done in her injured eye on different dates between 1998 and 2001, it said.
It said that post that treatment the girl lost sight in her left eye and, thereafter, she was advised for fourth corneal grafting in June 2005 at AIIMS, it added.
The complaint added that three surgeries were performed in girl’s left eye by the junior/trainee/new doctors without there being any senior doctor and the junior/trainees/ new doctors did the treatment for their practical/learning purposes.
It was also alleged that few broken sutures (stitches) were found in the left eye of the girl which caused her immense pain for around four years.
AIIMS, however, had denied the allegations levelled against it.

Girls take unnecessary risk, get into trouble and then face the rude consequences. Is there any need to roam around in Delhi roads

at wee hours in the morning, even after knowing all about Nirbhaya case? That heinous crime happened much earlier!

 

[apsarathy]

I have lived in Delhi for over 37 years. I have seen the cases of Chopra Children murder case back in 1978, Tandoor Choola murder case, Jessica Lal case, Sowmya Viswanathan case, Nithari killings (Noida), Aarushi murder and Nirbhaya episode. Long term residents of Delhi - those who migrated during partition and migrants of the 60s and 70s- Tamils and Keralites and the long term settlers from UP etc. do not indulge in such crime. They have come to live and lead a quite life and in the process settle in their lives and prosper. It is the recent rural migrants from western UP,Haryana, MP and Bihar, who are basically rustics and ill-educated who are still steeped in the customs of the past and who see any women wearing fashionable dress are 'available'. It is their rural mindset that doesn't digest the modern day living of Delhiites. In their ghetto-like atmosphere, they still follow their old village customs, even after coming to Delhi. For them, any women who do not wear headwear are not women at all and needs to be dominated. It is this attitude that is the cause of trouble. In the 70s and 80s too, there were murders, some high-profile by businessmen (Jessica Lal, Tandoori etc.) but not the kind we see nowadays. These people are dragging Delhi down.

 

[GANESH65]

You are right Sir, This what exactly Sheila Dixit also opined once and invited all sorts of criticism from all corners. But I still wonder what kind of policing we have in Delhi. They are very much aware about the crime prone areas and still no pro active measures initiated. Despite being aware of the facts that people with crime records are roaming around in Delhi freely, no system to watch them closely is in place. Possible that many crimes are committed by first timers also, but there may be un seen experienced hands if we check the root cause. With all modern equipment's available now a days, keeping an eye on these elements is not a big issue, we only need a strong will to do so.

 

[apsarathy]

The situation there is very similar to what is prevailing in Chennai/Tamil Nadu. There are policemen, there are no policemen! "Irukku aanal Illai"! They are simply not available where they are needed, as is in TN. Most of them are, as in TN, working in senior officers' households bringing them vegetables, washing clothes etc. Moreover, the education level of these policemen are, similar to TN, very limited. They are also from rural background and except for exceptions, generally behave like our own policemen do. The only way to bring about some discipline is to recruit policemen who are atleast graduates, know more than two languages and TRAINED BY ARMY PERSONNEL.

Delhi man takes car on rent, sells it, steals it the same night


A young businessman in Delhi suffering losses in his business made a near-perfect plan to recover his money.
Mintoo Kumar, 28, a BCA graduate, took a car on rent, sold it on a e-commerce site posing as the car owner and then stole it the same night from its new owner.
Last week, police received information at the Dwarka Sector 23 station about a car theft. On checking the car’s record, the police were perplexed because the details given by the owner belonged to a different Mahindra XUV car of the same colour belonging to a Delhi resident.
Explaining the sequence of events, an officer said,“The owner was not lying. He had bought the car through the site.It was stolen the same night. Initially we thought he was sold a stolen vehicle but later we suspected the seller may have stolen the same car from the new owner. We registered a case and began probe ,” said an officer. Police sources said that during investigation, an officer received a tip-off about the suspect who was in Dwarka to sell off the vehicle again. Mintoo was nabbed by a team of officers.
Mintoo’s modus operandi surprised even the most experienced of police officers. Mintoo told the police that he had stolen the car around seven hours after selling it. He said he ran a massage parlour cum spa in Faridabad was running into losses.
“He took a car on rent two months ago. To put his plan into action, he started a search for a similar Mahindra XUV car. Once he found a car of the same colour, he noted the details and then prepared a forged RC of the rented car. Unknown to the original owner, he sold the car. Later that night, he used the duplicate key to steal it.”
Mintoo said he had used the GPS facility to trace the car that night. His father is a retired captain of the Indian Army.

Body Of Woman Found With Throat Slit, Murder Suspected
NEW DELHI: The body of a 25-year-old woman, with her throat slit, was found at her rented accommodation in Neb Saray area of south Delhi yesterday morning, with police suspecting that she was murdered.

Upon noticing blood outside the door of Arti's room in Duggal Colony of Neb Saray area, the neighbours informed police who entered the room and found the body lying in a pool of blood.


She was taken to a nearby hospital where doctors declared her brought dead. It is suspected that the woman was murdered in the wee hours, a police officer said.

Arti got married two years ago but was living alone in the room for the last two months. She had also applied for divorce, the officer said.

She used to work at a beauty parlour until a few days ago, and had been asked by her landlord to vacate the room due to complaints of fights with her husband who visited her, he said.

Such news is not an exception to Delhi alone. As if the rest of India is all peace and joy.

 

[krish44]

There seems to be a hysteria regards violence in public spaces.

Delhi has a population of over a crore.A dozen bad incidents makes it appear as if we are living in a jungle.

By law of probability, we have more chances of dying of natural causes or minor infection [common flu, pneumonia or heat stroke] than street violence.

security is a matter of feeling. One can feel as safe as one wants to if one takes simple precautions.

I have gone to all kinds of towns, cities and villages feeling equally secure.

Life runs on trust and belief in other human beings.

If we reach out to all freely, we will feel more secure.

A random incident like some pervert killing a girl in chennai has been extrapolated to mean that tamilnadu is unsafe for all brahmins.

It has been made to appear that anyone not a brahmin is all evil out to get all brahmin women.

Crimes take place in all cities in various proportions.

That should not make us withdraw from public spaces due to fear of others.

 

[kgpal]

Yes, Raji Ram. It is important that we, either males or females, should take care while on the streets at wee hours of the day in any city in most states of India. It may not entirely safe for either gender. Having said that, I would like to cite the example of Delhi and its neighbourhood. They are especially more risky.

That is because of social milieu and the way the children are brought up in the city, without any real example or teaching of compassion towards fellow human beings or animals or towards spiritualism without looking for selfish material gains or for that matter, towards intellectual upbringing or respect for the weaker sex who are most often looked at as a toy for perverted gratification for the sexually deviant mind, Etc. Everything revolves around show-off and gaining material rewards from every transaction that one has everyday. All these without really working for it or really deserving the rewards that come with appropriate learning through honesty and hardwork. Exploiting the stranger, weaker and gullible is the norm. These are seen in most parts of the Delhi neighbourhood and BIMARU states as well. Parental control over the children is not what you would expect from cultured and educated families. Hence these states the incidents of this kind are more than any other state.

My bringing-up was in Delhi and I spent my entire youth in the city. Hence I have seen this laid back city going from bad to worse in the 60s and 70s and experienced all the above that I have mentioned from close quarters. I like the city and had roamed most parts of the place when young, but would I give permission to my children or relatives without adequately warning them about the deviant nature of the general cultural behaviour of the city? Definitely not.

So my blame would not be for the girls alone but the civic characteristics of the city in question as well. Girls/Ladies have an equally inquisitive mind like their counter part, males. Ladies would also like to explore, experience and learn about places, people as much as males would like to do. Therefore, stopping them would be inhuman. After all, they are as much humans as we all are!!

Delhi: Woman set on fire for rejecting marriage proposal, chances of survival bleak

A 25-year old woman was set ablaze by a man for allegedly turning down his wedding proposal. The incident took place at the victim’s home in northwest Delhi’s Bhalswa Dairy area, when the accused, Abhishek along with his friends Vijay, Karan and few others went there and started beating the woman’s relatives.
A relative of the victim, Gita said that whenever the girl used to go out, the boys used to harass her. “It had been seven-ten days since they began troubling her. Still she used to ignore them. When she could not tolerate further, she told this to her brother, who asked him to stay away from her. The harassing stopped for a few days, but then it started again,” she added.
Gita said the accused’s name is Abhishek and that he stays in the neighbourhood. “20-25 men came and started beating us with rods. Abhishek’s four-five uncles were also there and with his friends as well. Abhishek started threatening the girl but she refused to marry him. He then poured kerosene on her, set her on fire and ran away,” she added.
Gita further stated that there is no hope for the girl’s survival, as 95 percent of her body is burnt. “Abhishek used to threaten her that if she doesn’t get married to him, he will set her on fire and saying that if she did not belong to him, then he would not allow her to be someone else’s. Both the brother and the sister are in pain. They (accused) should also be in agony right now so that they don’t do it again in future,” she added. The police have arrested the three accused under Sections 307, 452, 323 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
