The money changer has been identified as Ajay Ku- mar Singhla and his son Sunil Kumar. The CBI had earlier arrested two officials working in the Bank of Baroda’s Par- liament Street branch in New Delhi for conniving with some persons and causing financial loss to the bank. The money-changers delib- erately cut or mutilated parts from eight currency notes to create a ninth mutilated note that would have at least four digits of the serial number on only one side. The money-changers would then replace these nine notes with new ones from the cash chest of the bank in connivance with the bank employees. This went undetected as the Reserve Bank India rules say that a mutilated note can be exchanged if it has only four digits of the serial number.

TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: A city court has framed charges against the doctor of Sun- der Lal Jain hospital, a private nursing home in north-west Delhi, which denied admission to a road accident victim two years ago. The victim died for lack of proper medical at- tention. Dr Chander Prakash al- legedly violated the Supreme court guidelines that direct all nursing homes to admit road accident victims. He now faces charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
