Thar driver who ran over two in Central Delhi found possessing illegal drugs, booked in 2nd case
NEW DELHI The accident spot. (Vipin Kumar/HT) A day after a 26-year-old man was arrested for mowing down two homeless men in his Mahindra Thar before crashing his vehicle near Gate No. 3 of Talkatora Stadium in central Delhi on Sunday morning, police said the accused possessed a bag containing multiple narcotics, including illegal psychotropic substances. According to police, the bag contained 0.3 grams of cocaine, 2.6g of LSD, 23.47g of methamphetamine (MD), 21.26g of ganja, 15.49g of flavoured tobacco, and 4.17g of charas, apart from ₹25,000 cash and a mobile phone. 'When our team reached the spot, the vehicle was in an accidental condition. During inspection, we found a bag with contraband in commercial quantity inside the Thar,' a senior police officer said. The accused, identified as Ashish Bachchas, a resident of Shakarpur in east Delhi, was driving the UP-registered vehicle when it rammed into an electric pole around 6.30am, investigators said. The items were seized and the vehicle was impounded, police said. Bachchas, who was already arrested for causing death by negligence and rash driving, was booked in another case registered under sections 20, 21, 22 and 25 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act at the Chanakyapuri police station. Police said the source of the drugs and those who received them are being investigated. 'He may have bought it for his own consumption or to sell it; the matter is under investigation,' the officer said. Bachchas was suspected to be under the influence of drugs during the incident, police said, adding that his medical report was awaited. One of the deceased men was identified as Sujesh Kshetri, who came from Sikkim, but there was no clarity yet on his age or other details. The second victim was yet to be identified, officials said.

Notices to contractor, consultant, 4 NMRDA officials in Koradi slab collapse
1 2 Nagpur: The Nagpur Metropolitan Region Development Authority (NMRDA) has sent notices to the contractor firm BBG, Project Management Consultants (PMC), and four of its own officials on Monday, as two separate probes started into the slab collapse at the construction site of the VIP entrance at Koradi temple on Saturday. The officials have to reply to the notices, which ask why action should not be taken against them, within 24 hours. NMRDA has appointed a committee of four experts to conduct an independent inquiry into the matter. A separate committee under the district collector has been set up on the directions of revenue minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule. Sixteen workers, including four supervisors, had been injured in the slab collapse at the construction site of a gate as part of the development works at the Koradi temple pilgrimage site. Even as investigations into the cause of the accident are starting, NMRDA on Monday announced Rs1 lakh aid to those injured, and Rs2 lakh to the seriously injured workers. Guardian minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule has ordered an inquiry committee under the chairmanship of collector Vipin Itankar. This committee includes executive engineer Rajesh Sontakke (water resources department), chief engineer Sambhaji Mane (public works department), superintending engineer Manish Patil, and expert RK Ingle (VNIT). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo Bawankule has directed completion of the inquiry and submission of a report within 30 days. NMRDA has also initiated action by appointing an independent committee. The panel will consider the fact that when the slab casting work started at night, no representative of NMRDA or the consultant was present at the site. The NMRDA committee is headed by superintending engineer Abdul Javed (NMRDA), and includes executive engineer Lalit Raut, and deputy director of town planning Supriya Thul. This committee will submit its report within a week. Discussions about suspending some officials were underway in administrative circles on Monday, reliable sources from NMRDA said. Sources also said that an official decision in this regard will be taken in the next two days. "The slab work was 80% complete. Suddenly the slab started moving. Before we could understand anything, we all fell on the safety net. However, Naresh Baghel fell on the road from a height and was injured seriously. I had an injury to my waist. I was discharged from hospital on Monday, and doctors have advised rest," said an injured worker, Mukesh Vindane. Dharmendra Patle, brother-in-law of seriously injured worker Naresh Baghel (age 30 years), said Baghel had been working in the construction sector for 6 years. Baghel underwent a surgery for his head injury, and has serious injuries to his hands and legs too. Currently, he is in ICU. "Company officials are ensuring treatment is done at their expense. Baghel was the sole earner in the family comprising his mother, wife and seven-month-old daughter. Though originally from Balaghat, the family lives on rent at Jaripatka," said Patle.
