Panchkula: No Bishnoi link to kabaddi player's murder, say police
There has been no Bishnoi link in the murder of 21-year-old kabaddi player Sonu Nolta, deputy commissioner of police (crime) Amit Dahiya said on Monday. Only one of the four accused have been arrested so far. A day after murdering Nolta outside the mall at Amravati Enclave (Pinjore) on June 5, prime accused Piyush Piplani had reportedly created a fake Facebook account using the name of Arju Bishnoi (misspelling Arzoo Bishnoi who is believed to have links with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi) to post a video claiming responsibility for the murder with Arju Bishnoi's help, the DCP said. He even mentioned Berlin (Germany) as his location to mislead the police. He used that Facebook account only for a day, the police said. According to the police, Piplani's motive was to gain popularity by falsely associating himself with notorious gangsters, like Anmol Bishnoi and Arzoo Bishnoi. In the video, Piplani had claimed that Nolta had been supporting gangster Bhuppi Rana and his associates. According to the police, had such gangs been genuinely involved, they would have claimed the murder responsibility directly. Further investigation revealed that Piplani had three mobile phones at the time of committing the crime. While fleeing in a car, he threw two phones away, keeping only one to record the video. He had purchased two new SIM cards days before the crime. Four persons were present in the car at the crime scene, out of whom only one — Sameer Khan — has been arrested while the rest are at large. The police also said that during their escape, a bullet accidentally fired from the pistol of the fourth person in the car struck Piplani's hand. Piplani, who was driving the car, didn't seek treatment and wrapped his wound with a handkerchief. Bloodstains were later found on both the front and back seats of the vehicle that was found abandoned at the PGI. From PGI, Piplani and Ankush took an auto to the ISBT-43 while Sameer Khan and the fourth person were captured on CCTV cameras heading towards the Chandigarh railway station. Police confirmed that barring Sameer, all were carrying weapons. Police investigations further revealed that Sameer Khan knew Sonu Nolta. Just to confirm Sonu's presence in his car, Khan reportedly stepped out and greeted him, signaling Piplani who then opened fire, killing Sonu and injuring his cousin Nitin alias Prince (20) with a bullet wound to his thigh. DCP Amit Dahiya further said the delay in apprehending the remaining accused was due to non-usage of mobile or social media by them. Police teams are actively searching hotels, guest houses and drug de-addiction centres as Piplani is said to be an addict. His old associates are also being questioned. The fourth accused remains unidentified but is described as a fluent in Punjabi. His picture has been circulated to police stations across Punjab. Police teams have already been dispatched to various locations in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Punjab to trace the culprits.

Two mobile snatchers nabbed in Delhi; one came out of Tihar jail a day ago
Delhi Police on Thursday claimed to have solved a mobile snatching case, pertaining to an Indian national working in Saudi Arabia, in just five hours of the incident. However, the startling fact is that one of the two criminals caught by police was released a day before the crime, from Tihar jail. The two snatchers were identified as Mohd Taimur alias Saddam and Sameer Khan, and they have a history of committing such crimes. The snatched mobile phone was also recovered from their custody. The mobile snatching took place in North Delhi's Sadar Bazar area on May 10, when a Haryana resident Juvail Khan was on his way to his friend's factory in the area. While he walked on foot and was crossing past a school on Idgah Road, two bike-borne men came from behind and snatched his mobile phone and fled from the spot. Forty-two-year-old Juvial Khan works in Saudi Arabia and is currently in India for some personal assignments. Soon after the victim lodged a complaint, the Sadar Bazar station formed a police team comprising Sub-inspector Vijay Kumar, Head Constables Rohit and Ramesh, and Constable Ajay under the supervision of Inspector Sahdev Singh Tomar. The police team launched a quick investigation, scanned and analysed CCTV footage from the area and swooped on them in just a couple of hours. Both Saddam and Sameer Khan, residents of the Sadar Bazar area, are active criminals. Their photographs were extracted and shared among the police station staff and also with those employed at different picket points. In the late evening, they were apprehended at the picket point while trying to escape on foot. When they were searched, the snatched mobile phone was recovered. During interrogation, both confessed to the crime. They have been previously involved in several cases of snatching and other crimes. Saddam was arrested last month for violating the terms of his externment. He was released from Tihar jail on May 9, and the very next day, he, along with his accomplice, started committing the crime again.
