New Delhi: The BJP’s Delhi unit leaders met Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung yesterday and demanded a CBI enquiry against Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and her two cabinet ministers in the alleged `1,000 crore transport scam.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders also expressed their resentment over no “impartial” probe being initiated against them.
“No impartial inquiry is being conducted against Shiela Dikshit, Haroon Yusuf, Arvinder Singh Lovely and many IAS officers on the basis of proof collected on Right to Information applications,” said a statement issued by the BJP.
The delegation was led by leader of opposition in the Delhi assembly Vijay Kumar Malhotra and Delhi BJP chief Vijay Goel.
The party had recently alleged a `1,000 crore scam in the Delhi government’s transport department.
Death for Haryana murder accused
Chandigarh: A court in Haryana’s Bhiwani town yesterday sentenced four people to death and 10 others to life imprisonment for the murder of a widow and her two teenaged sons two years ago.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Sarita Gupta awarded the death sentence to Shamsher Singh, Dalbir Singh, Hari Singh and Kuldeep.
The quartet were Santosh’s relatives from her husband’s family.
The victims were found brutally murdered in July 2011 in their house in village Patwan of Bhiwani district, 260km from here.
Police said they were murdered over share in 18 acres of land. Santosh’s husband had died in a road accident in 2000. Her in-laws eyed her share in the land and the murder followed.
Man gets life term for wife’s murder
Chandigarh: A man who had consumed poison with his wife to seek justice for her alleged gang-rape was convicted yesterday by a court in Haryana and sentenced to life imprisonment on charges of her murder.
A court in Rohtak town, 250km from here, sentenced Sunil to life imprisonment after police, which had initially booked him for attempt to commit suicide, charged him with murdering his wife.
Sunil and his wife ate poison outside the office of the Rohtak range inspector general (IG) of police May 2009. They took the step over police failure to act on their complaint that she had been allegedly gang-raped by four people. After consuming poison, Alka died while Sunil survived. IANS
