Locals, developer's men clash over makeshift temple in Gurugram's Sector 85
A clash broke out between residents of a Sector-85 society and about a dozen suspects early Monday morning after they allegedly tried to remove a makeshift Shiva temple established near the society, police said. The incident occurred between 3am and 4am, and police were called to the spot to control the situation. Tension between the two sides had been simmering for a month, police said. (Getty Images/iStockphoto) Investigators said residents had set up a Shivling on a corner of a green belt connected to the society premises for worship during the holy month of Sawan, as the area had no nearby temple. The developer opposed the move, saying the land did not fall under the society's limits. Tension between the two sides had been simmering for a month. Inspector Virender Khatri, station house officer, Kherki Daula police station, said the developer had filed a complaint a week earlier alleging encroachment. 'We had called both sides for a meeting… the developer had agreed to allot an area inside the society… residents had been assured they would remove the makeshift structure by Friday,' he said, adding no one has been detained yet as both parties are expected to sort the situation amicably. Khatri said the structure was not removed, prompting the developer's men to attempt its removal on Monday morning, triggering the clash. 'Meetings will be held… Residents will be urged to shift the temple to the earmarked spot,' he added.

Nabha cop acquitted in 2017 bribery case
Mohali: After nearly nine years of legal proceedings, the court of the additional district and sessions judge acquitted additional SHO sub-inspector (SI) Shivdev Singh, posted at Nabha police station, in a bribery case registered by the Vigilance Bureau in 2017. The Vigilance Flying Squad One team from Mohali had arrested Shivdev in April 2017 on charges of accepting a bribe of Rs 5,000 from Sandeep Kumar, a resident of Jujhar Nagar, Mohali. Kumar alleged that the amount was demanded in exchange for filing a favourable report to facilitate the release of his seized car. According to case records, Kumar and a friend were booked under the Arms Act by Nabha police in April 2017, and their car was impounded. About a month later, both secured bail and moved the court for the vehicle's release. The court directed the police station concerned to submit a report. Kumar alleged that when he approached Shivdev for the report, the officer demanded a bribe. Kumar claimed he refused to pay and lodged a complaint with the Vigilance Bureau, which then laid a trap and reported catching the cop red-handed with the marked currency. However, during the trial, the prosecution failed to prove that the bribe was actually taken. The court also noted in its observations that there was a prior rift between the complainant and a vigilance inspector, raising questions over the case's credibility.
