At 11 pm, the woman heard a knock on the door. On unlocking the door, three persons barged inside. After gagging her mouth, the three raped her. ‘‘The assailants threatened her of dire consequences if she revealed it to anybody,’’ the officer said.

New Delhi: The Central Bu- reau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a doctor working with Deen Dayal Upadhyaya hospi- tal for allegedly demanding bribe to make deletions in the autopsy report of a person who died in a road accident. The doctor, Manoj Nagpal, who was attached to the hospi- tal’s forensics department, al- legedly demanded Rs 10,000 from a man whose cousin met with an accident last month. ‘‘He asked for money to delete the line that the victim was drunk. The demand was made when the complainant saw in For Booking and information the report that his cousin was Call :51-666-888 drunk. The complainant claimed that his cousin was a teetotaller,’’ a CBI officer said. According to the com- plainant, his cousin died in an accident on April 28. He suc- cumbed to injuries the next day and his body was sent for an autopsy test. On May 6, the complainant received a report in which it said that his cousin had con- sumed alcohol. The com- plainant contacted Nagpal who agreed to delete the line but for a price.

Ac- cording to the police, Tonk came in contact with Bhagte in May 2001 while Jagbir joined the gang in January last year. The two allegedly helped Bhagte to escape from the custody of Haryana police. On June 15, last year, Bhagte had come to Tis Hazari courts. He was going back to Haryana alongwith the police in a Haryana Roadways bus.

SC: Air Force Act can’t be challenged New Delhi: The Supreme Court (SC) has ruled that the legality of provisions of the Air Force Act could not be challenged on grounds of be- ing violative of fundamental rights of Armed personnel as the restrictions imposed were mandated by the consti- tution itself. The ruling was given re- cently by a Bench compris- ing Justice N Santosh Hegde and Justice B P Singh while setting aside a 1995 order of the Delhi High Court direct- ing reinstatement of former Flt Lieutenant G S Bajwa, who was dismissed from service in 1983 for refusing to undergo a medical test. The High Court had also directed payment of 50 per cent of back wages to Bajwa from the date of dismissal and the date of judgment but made it subject to his med- ical fitness. Allowing the appeal of the Union government, the Bench said court martial pro- ceedings held against Bajwa were in accordance with the provisions of the Air Force Act and rejected the allega- tion of the dismissed officer that his fundamental rights were violated during court martial trial. PTI Freak mishap spurs civic body to act TIMES NEWS NETWORK Kolkata: The Kolkata Mu- nicipal Corporation on Wednesday asked Reliance Infocomm to immediately stop laying optical fibre ca- bles in the city. The directive follows the death of 24-year-old Amit Dalmiya on Monday night, who was impaled by one such cable on Camac Street. Though Kolkata mayor Subrata Mukherjee is learnt to have shot off a letter to Re- liance Infocomm, a company official said they were yet to receive any such notice. The company,however,has asked its contractors to con- duct a fresh survey of its en- tire project in the city. The company is also reviewing the safety measures involved with the project, he said. In his letter,the mayor stat- ed when the company had started laying cables in 2002, the KMC had wanted its engi- neers to supervise the work. It had demanded a supervi- sion fee and a restoration charge from the company. Reliance Infocomm re- fused to accept supervision of the civic body.‘‘Despite ob- jections, they were able to start the work after the state government gave them a nod. This time, we won’t let it hap- pen,’’ said Mukherjee. AGP planning to form platform of regional parties TIMES NEWS NETWORK Guwahati: The Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) is planning to float an all India regional parties’ forum to fight for common issues like regional disparity and under-develop- ment. At a recent executive meet- ing, the party also decided to revive the North-East Re- gional Parties’ Forum (NERPF). During former chief min- ister Prafulla Kumar Mahan- ta’s regime, the AGP was in- strumental in bringing all re- gional parties of the north- eastern states under one plat- form — NERPF. The forum later became defunct due to its inability to arrive at consensus over key issues. AGP general-secretary and former minister Chandra Mohan Patowari, who moot- ed the latest idea of floating a national forum for regional parties, has placed the pro- posal before party chief Brindabon Goswami. Patowari said the AGP will try to chalk out a common minimum programme for all regional parties.
