Man in Delhi seeks help from friends to recover loan from brother-in-law, both killed
In a span of two days, both Raji and Shami were found dead in different areas in Northeast Delhi, police said. The two had partied with four friends on August 10 at Raji's rented accommodation in New Chauhanpur's Mata Vali Gali.
Police on Sunday said that while two men were arrested on August 15, in connection with the case, two others were nabbed a day later. These were the same men who were with the deceased at the New Chauhanpur house on August 10.
According to the police, they were informed in the wee hours of August 11 that a body was found at Gali no. 26, C-Block, Khajuri Khas. 'A police team, along with forensic experts, reached the spot and examined the crime scene. The body was sent to GTB Hospital for a post-mortem examination. He was identified as Raji Ahmed, 33, a resident of Harkesh Market,' DCP (North East) Ashish Mishra said.
During the probe, with the help of CCTV footage and call detail records, police zeroed in on Vicky Tomar (24) and Asfaq (19) and a manhunt was launched. While the police were tracing the movement of the accused on the day of the murder, they ended up at a building in New Chauhanpur and stumbled upon another body on August 12.
'A decomposed body of an unidentified man was recovered from a locked kitchen on the first floor of a house in Mata Vali Gali, New Chauhanpur. It was sent to GTB Hospital and a case under BNS Section 103(1) was filed. The deceased was identified as Shami Alam, 37,' DCP Mishra said.
During questioning, the two accused told the police that they had planned upon assaulting Shami as Raji had allegedly asked them to help him recover a sum of money Shami had borrowed from him. 'Raji, Shami, Vicky, Asfaq and two other men — Faizaan (22) and Masoom (25) — had gathered for a party at the said building in New Chauhanpur on Sunday. Raji had taken it on rent. After Raji left, as planned, the four men thrashed Shami, leading to his death,' DCP Mishra said.
The accused were now in a bind. They locked Shami's body in the kitchen and went after Raji. Fearing that Raji might tell the police about their involvement in the murder, they killed him as well.
'During questioning, they revealed that after killing Shami, they went to Khajuri Khas and murdered Raji to cover up the crime,' the DCP said. Faizaan and Masoom were arrested based on inputs given by Vicky and Asfaq.

Tihar official assault: Court acquits man on benefit of doubt
New Delhi: A Delhi court recently acquitted a man accused of assaulting a deputy jail superintendent in Tihar Jail. The court of judicial magistrate Bharti Garg stated that the prosecution failed to prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt, and the accused was entitled to the benefit of the doubt due to the numerous contradictions in the prosecution's case. "The documentary evidence adduced by the prosecution also suffers from serious infirmities and adds up to the pile of contradictions emerging in the prosecution case, thereby leading to the irresistible conclusion that the accused is entitled to the benefit of the doubt," the court said. The court was hearing the case against the inmate Salman Tyagi, against whom Hari Nagar police station registered a case based on a complaint by an assistant superintendent of Tihar prison. According to the prosecution, Tyagi threatened, pushed, and beat the prison official when he was being produced virtually on July 30, 2021.

The court held that the FIR was not registered promptly and that there was ample opportunity to concoct and deliberate to file an embellished report. The judge said that the evidence of a crucial prosecution witness did not inspire confidence, nor was his presence established at the time of the alleged incident.
