Kite string slits neck of man on flyover near Tughlakabad in Delhi, condition critical
A 30-year-old man sustained critical injuries after his neck was allegedly slit by a manjha or kite string while he was on a flyover near Tughlakabad Metro station on Saturday evening. The incident was reported around 4.40 pm on the carriageway connecting Sarita Vihar to Faridabad. The victim, Rajneesh from Akhibelpur village in Uttar Pradesh's Hardoi district, was rushed to AIIMS Trauma Centre, where his condition remains serious, police said. 'He was found bleeding heavily from the neck… Preliminary investigation suggests that he was injured from red manjha or a kite string,' said DCP (South East) Hemant Tiwari. This comes amid the Delhi Police Crime Branch mounting a crackdown against the sale of the banned Chinese manjha – a synthetic, glass-coated kite string notorious for causing grievous injuries and deaths in the city during the festive season. In the run-up to Independence Day, police said they had arrested three men for allegedly selling Chinese Manjha and recovered 68 rolls from their possession. Police said that in a raid carried out on Thursday in North East Delhi's New Seelampur, two persons – Ashu (22) and Imran (22) – were arrested and 18 rolls of plastic-based Chinese manjha seized. The same day, the Inter-State Cell of the Crime Branch raided a shop at Sangam Vihar in Wazirabad, where 50 rolls of the string were recovered from Mohammad Saaqib (35). He too was arrested.

A day after a two-room structure that was a part of a dargah near the Humayun's Tomb complex in Delhi collapsed, killing six people, the police on Saturday registered a First Information Report (FIR) against unknown people. The FIR was registered at the Hazrat Nizamuddin police station under sections 290 (negligent conduct with respect to pulling down, repairing or constructing buildings), 125 (act endangering life or personal safety of others), and 106 (causing death by negligence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the police said. Three men and three women were killed, and four others were injured after the ceiling and wall of a two-room structure, a part of the Dargah Sharif Patte Shah located adjacent to the Humayun's Tomb complex, collapsed on Friday evening in southeast Delhi's Nizamuddin. The police identified the deceased as Moinuddin, Anita Saini, Swaroop Chand, Meena Arora, Monu Arora and Arif. The injured – Mohammad Shameem, Aryan, Gudiya, and Rafat Parveen – are undergoing treatment at AIIMS Trauma Centre, Lok Nayak Hospital and Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. At least 12 people were pulled out from the debris, and multiple agencies, including the police, the Delhi Fire Services, National Disaster Response Force and the Delhi Disaster Management Authority, were involved in the rescue operation. The dargah, opposite New Horizon School, was attached to the boundary wall of Humayun's Tomb. Officials confirmed the monument remained unaffected. In one of her books, historian Rana Safvi has noted that the shrine, dedicated to Hazrat Shamsuddin Utawala, is called Patte Shah because of a tree whose leaves form the Prophet's name in Arabic.

Delhi Police files case in collapse of dargah structure near Humayun's Tomb
The Delhi Police has registered a case after six people were killed in a wall and roof collapse of a dargah near Humayun's Tomb in Delhi's Nizamuddin, an official said on Saturday. The incident happened at Dargah Sharif Patte Shah around 3:30 pm on August 15. The dargah shares its boundary walls with the 16th-century garden-tomb commissioned by Mughal emperor Humayun's first wife Bega Begum in 1558. A senior police officer said a case under section 290 (negligent conduct with respect to pulling down, repairing or constructing buildings), 125 (acts that endanger human life or personal safety), and 106 (causing death by negligence) has been registered against unknown people. Of the six deceased, one has been identified as Swaroop Chand (79). The five injured are Md Shameem, Aryan, Gudiya, Rafat Parveen, and Rani (65), an official of the Delhi Fire Services said. The police official said two rooms of the dargah, one of which was occupied by an imam and the other was a resting room, were in a dilapidated state and heavy rain led to the roof and a wall to collapse at a time when 15 people had taken shelter there. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast) Hemant Tiwari said, "After the collapse, 12 people, most of whom were the visitors, were rescued from under the debris. Nine of them were admitted to the AIIMS Trauma Centre, where five died. A man was admitted to the LNJP Hospital, while a woman was admitted to the RML Hospital." Police said the man admitted to the LNJP Hospital died during treatment. Further investigation into the incident was underway, and civic agencies have been informed of the incident for further probe on their part, an official added.

New Delhi: Delhi Police on Monday said the speeding Thar that mowed down two people in the Chanakyapuri area here a day earlier, was found stashed with cocaine, LSD and other drugs. The accused, identified as Ashish Bachchas (26), from east Delhi's Shakarpur, was arrested from the spot. He is a drug addict and a supplier police said, adding that a medical examination confirmed that he was driving under the influence when the accident happened. A search of the Uttar Pradesh-registered car led to the recovery of commercial quantities of cocaine (0.30 gm), LSD (2.6 gm), MD (23.47 gm), cannabis (21.26 gm), charas (4.17 gm ), tobacco (15.49 gm), Rs 25,000 cash, and a mobile phone, police said. The accident occurred around 6.30 am on Sunday near Gate Number 3 of Talkatora Stadium.

He was returning home when the accident took place, he added. "On August 1, the driver's vehicle was fined for overspeeding.
