VDG member thrashed by cops in Doda; Constable suspended, DySP under inquiry
The next day, he was summoned to the police outpost in Premnagar and beaten up badly, especially by selection grade constable Mohammad Zia. The VDG member, Balbeer Singh, had fired two rounds in the air after detecting suspicious movement in his village Pernote in Premnagar area of the district, a day before Independence Day. Jammu, Aug 18 (PTI) A Village Defence Group member was roughed up by police at an outpost in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda district, prompting authorities to suspend a constable and order an inquiry into the conduct of a deputy superintendent of police on Monday. Doda Senior Superintendent of Police Sandeep Mehta took note of the alleged misconduct and ordered immediate action. 'Zia has been placed under suspension with immediate effect and attached to District Police Lines, pending further proceedings,' a police spokesperson said. He said a departmental inquiry has been ordered, and a senior officer has been appointed as the inquiry officer to investigate the incident comprehensively. 'The inquiry report is to be submitted within a fortnight,' the spokesperson added. In addition, the conduct of the then Thathri Station House Officer, DySP Afeer Jaleel, will also be thoroughly examined, he said. 'The inquiry officer has been directed to assess his role and submit specific findings for further necessary action,' the spokesperson added. Meanwhile, VDG member Balbeer Singh Manhas said he had fired two rounds in the air following suspicious movement near his village after a voice warning a day before Independence Day. 'We were told to be alert about any suspicious movement as Independence Day was near. There was also a threat perception. I was only performing my duty,' he said while leaving the hospital. Manhas was admitted to Government Medical College Hospital in Doda after being badly bruised. Expressing anger over such incident, Manhas said, 'What is the point of becoming a VDG member when you are not allowed to do anything to protect your village during suspicious circumstances?'

Two including auto driver held for robbing passenger of Rs 20,000 in Delhi
New Delhi, Aug 18 (PTI) Two men, including an autorickshaw driver, were arrested here for allegedly taking passengers to deserted areas in north Delhi and robbing them, police said on Monday. The case came to light when on August 12, Vikas (22), who had arrived in Delhi from Bihar for the first time and took an autorickshaw from outside the ISBT Kashmere Gate around 5.45 am to reach Tikri Border. Another passenger was already seated in the autorickshaw, police said. Instead of taking him to the destination, the driver diverted the vehicle to Burari-Mukundpur service road, stopped the vehicle there and told Vikas that they had reached, a police officer said. When Vikas scanned the UPI code to pay Rs 150, the driver and the other passenger allegedly snatched his phone, threatened him to share the password, and transferred Rs 20,000 from his e-wallet before fleeing, he said. A case was registered at Burari police station based on the victim's complaint and a team was formed to nab the culprits. The two accused were identified using CCTV footage and their movements were traced. The mobile phone number to which the money was transferred helped the team zero in on the accused, and Yogesh (25) was arrested, the officer added. He told police that him and his associate Mohammad Ali (29) drove the autorickshaw during night and lured unsuspecting passengers by offering low fares. They would then take the passenger to secluded areas and rob them. 'The two had withdrawn the robbed money from an ATM in Jahangirpuri and split it equally. Following Yogesh's disclosure, multiple raids were conducted, leading to Ali's arrest on August 16," the officer further said. Police said both are school dropouts and drug addicts, who previously served jail terms in a robbery case.
