TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: The northwest district police arrested eight people and claimed to have busted a cricket bet- ting racket in Saraswati Vihar. The accused were bet- ting on the final one-day match between Australia and West Indies on Sunday. Among the accused is a well- known bookie of Delhi. Additional deputy commissioner of police (north- west) R S Yadav said: ‘‘We received an information that some persons were betting in a premises in Sandesh Vihar, Pitampura. The police sent a decoy customer, who was given a note of Rs 500 with specific identifi- cation mark.’’ The officer said the decoy customer met the accused and fixed a bet of Rs 500 on the triumph of West Indies. On receiving the signal, the police raided the premises and arrested the betters. The accused are Mukesh Nag- pal, Subhash Chander, Rajiv Sharma, Jitender Kumar, Ashok Kumar, Praveen Kumar, Arun Kumar and Suresh Kumar. ‘‘During the search, the police recovered a suitcase with 13 audio cassettes, a laptop, three TV sets, 14 mo- bile phones and account books having about 450 en- tries. The flat was taken on rent some time back for the purpose of satta operation,’’ the officer said. The police said Nagpal is the kingpin of the racket and is a well-known bookie in Delhi circle. He has been operating this racket for sometime. ‘‘He used to take a room on rent and change it regu- larly. Nagpal used to pay between Rs 5,000 and Rs 10,000, which was lucrative for the house owners,’’ Ya- dav said. Nagpal avoided cash transactions at the satta prem- ises and maintained account through recording ma- chines connected with mobile phones. The seizure of slips show the transaction worth lakhs, but it could ex- ceed a crore.

Two witnesses turn hostile in Shivani For Booking and Information Call : murder case 51-666-888 New Delhi: Two witnesses in the Shivani Bhatnagar murder case on Monday turned hostile with one of them alleging that the in- vestigating officer had threatened him to de- pose in favour of the prosecution. Deposing before additional sessions judge J M Malik, head constable Dinesh Kumar of Haryana Police said the officer had threat- ened to take him to the police chowki if he did not testify in favour of the prosecution. Kumar,whom the prosecution claimed, was the accused’s neighbour at Gurgaon, denied that he used to frequent the latter’s house. He further denied that he had given any statement to the police saying he was, howev- er, made to sign on many blank papers. The witness, prosecution claimed, had told the police that he knew Sri Bhagwan well and that another accused Satya Prakash stayed in a house rented out by Bhagwan. The other witness who turned hostile today was Diwan Chand, an inspector with Delhi Police anti-corruption branch. Chand, who happens to be Sri Bhagwan’s brother-in-law also denied that he had given any statement to the police. He said he had taken Bhagwan to the ACP’s office after the ACP himself requested him to do so. PTI

Delhiites will have to bear with stray cattle nuisance till October TOI By Sachin Parashar TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: It seems the Delhiites would have to put up with the stray cattle nui- sance for quite some time to come. The Municipal Cor- poration of Delhi (MCD) has expressed helplessness in implementing the action plan for catching stray cat- tle before October this year. In an affidavit sworn by commissioner Rakesh Mehta, which was placed before the Delhi high court, the corporation claimed that due to the unavailabili- ty of a certain number of trucks it wasn’t possible to shift animals from one place to another. The corpo- ration said it needed time to acquire more trucks for the purpose. Traffic disruptions are a routine affair in Delhi with cows roaming freely on roads.

Weatherman rules out early rain TIMES NEWS NETWORK New Delhi: The monsoon will not hit Kerala this week, says the meteorolog- ical department. The latest indications are it may stick to its scheduled date of June 1 or be a little late. But it will certainly not be early. India Meteorological Department’s S K Subra- manian said on Monday that the Bay of Bengal branch of the southwest monsoon has shown signs of strengthening. But the southwesterly flow hasn’t built up as far as the Ara- bian Sea branch of the monsoon is concerned. This is why IMD is ruling out any early arrival. Subramanian is quick to clarify the uncertain- ties which will remain even after the monsoon ar- rives in Kerala. Arrival is no indication of its pace of progress into the country. Nor will it decide in any way how much rain the season will bring. The monsoon entered the Andaman Sea around its normal date of mid- May.But a tropical cyclone in the Bay of Bengal, which showed up on May 8 and crossed the Myanmar coast on May 19, disturbed the circulation patterns. The met office waited for it to pass and the flows to resettle before assessing the monsoon’s progress.
