jawan of ITBP (Indo-Tibet Border Police) was Afound dead at an under-construction house in Mohanlalganj under mysterious circumstances on Wednesday. Suspecting that he died of poisoning, police sent the body for autopsy even as a team of police was collecting details from the acquaintances of the deceased, who was identified as Manoj Yadav of Alwar, Rajasthan. He was presently posted at the 32 Battalion of ITBP in Kanpur. Earlier, he was deployed at the ITBP camp office in Jaiti Kheda in Mohanlalganj where he got acquainted to locals. He used to stay at a house in New Colony close to Gauria Kheda village. As per reports, Manoj became friends with Arun Yadav, who lives in a rented house in New Colony. Manoj returned from Rajasthan on Tuesday but did not go on duty to Kanpur. He reached Mohanlalganj and met Arun. He stayed in the house of Arun, who is employed on contract at the office of ADO, Panchayat, in Mohanlalganj. On Wednesday, Manoj told Arun that he had to meet some bank officials in Hazratganj for approval of a loan for himself. Meanwhile, Arun left for his workplace while his wife went to a neighbour’s house for some function. Around 2:30 pm, Manoj returned home and found the doors bolted from inside. He called Arun, who told him that he was staying in an under-construc- tion. “Manoj told me that he was in drunken state and I sent my friend Jai Sharan to inquire of Manoj,” Arun told police. “Jai Sharan found Manoj lying unre- sponsive even as ants had covered latter’s face. Jai Sharan informed me and I asked him to call the police. A team of police was conducting checking on the road near New Colony and they reached the scene on being informed. Manoj was taken to hospital where he was pronounced brought dead,” Arun said. $ Executive engineer (maintenance unit) at Shakti Bhawan, Ashish Sinha lodged a case against an unidentified person for sending him a fake e-mail on behalf of the department chairman. In his com- plaint, Sinha said he got the mail at 4:19 pm on August 24 from an e-mail ID in the name of chair- man M Devraj. He said the sender demanded a favour and also sought a reply. “The mail was sent from [email protected]. I asked the chairman abut it but he denied having sent any such mail. He also said that the the e-mail ID did not belong to him,” Sinha stated in his complaint. Meanwhile, ARM (personnel) of UPSRTC Neeraj Saxena lodged a case of fraud and tamper- ing with government documents against two accused at Hazratganj in connection with the allotment of a Parag booth. Those named in the case were identi- fied as Anurag Srivastava and Vivek Singh, both of Gomtinagar. Anurag was to be allotted the booth at the bus station in Qaiserbagh and Vivek at the Awadh bus station in Kamta. Saxena alleged that both Anurag and Vivek presented fake stamp papers (of Rs 10,486 each) required for the allotment, thus causing loss of revenue as well. He said Anurag is an authorised agent of Lucknow Milk Producers’ Cooperative Federation Limited.    . Lucknow (PNS): Two groups clashed over parking of a vehicle in Ujariaon locality of Gomtinagar late night on Tuesday. Mustaqeem Ali of Ujariaon alleged that his neighbours — Wasiq, Sheebu, Riaz, Shami and Chhotu Gabru — besides two unidenti- fied youths attacked him and his family around mid- night. “They first picked a verbal spat with us over parking of a vehicle and later stormed our house where they attacked us, including women in the fam- ily,” he stated in a complaint. He also said that he dialled 112 but no help came his way. Contrary to his claims, Riaz’s wife Nazia Parveen said that a man, identified as Faraz, had visited the house of a relative, Mohammed Shafi, in the local- ity and parked the car near Hafiz Dada Masjid. She alleged that Mustaqeem aka Imran along with Faizal, Fahad and few others reached the scene in a drunken state and asked Faraz to shift the car. “I asked Faraz to shift the car but they started abusing him and gave him a chase. He ran into the house where they followed him and gave him a sound thrashing. They also thrashed me and broke Faraz’s mobile phone,” she alleged.    ! "#  $%$&$'

I congrat- ulate Jammu’s directorate of tourism for organising such    "       a festival” While addressing the media, Vivekanand Rai (IRS), the director of tourism in Jammu, shared, “Kites have been a part of a tradition since ancient time and even today they are flown to celebrate various festivals and sentiments. Ever since we started thinking about organ- ising a kite flying festival in Jammu, we were sure that it would get a great response. I would like to thank the people of Jammu for making our initiative a thorough success and using Indian thread for flying kites”. A Total of 50 kite enthusiasts participated in the event. The blue sky was dotted with numerous kites of various shapes, colours and sizes which added to every- one’s delight. It is important to note that the participants used only Indian thread for flying kites. It was ensured at the entry gate by the organisers that none of the par- ticipants can take Chinese thread inside the venue. Subhang Sethi and Mohit Sharma were declared win- ners in two categories and each of them won a two nights-three days stay at Patnitop, sponsored by JKTDC and Jammu’s Directorate of Tourism, for a family of four.
