COUPLE KIDNAP CHILD TO COVER UP FLESH TRADE
In an effort to cover up her flesh trade and dodge the police, a woman and her paramour kidnapped a child but the ploy failed and Savita, 45, and Ajay, 28, were arrested on Thursday, police said.
They kidnapped a three-year-old boy from Batala in Punjab on 20 July, but police caught up with them on Thursday and rescued the kidnapped child.
The mother of the kidnapped boy, Satender Kaur, registered a case of kidnapping against Savita at Batala police station after her elder son Shahbaz, 6, told her that Savita lured the child away by promising him sweets.
During interrogation, Savita revealed that she divorced her husband seven years ago and started living with Ajay in Jahangirpuri and Adarsh Nagar Area of Delhi.
‘She was allegedly involved in the sex trade. To avoid suspicion, she hatched a conspiracy to kidnap a child from Punjab, where she used to go for contractual work in the harvest season. Having a child, she thought, would help her in covering up her involvement in sex trade,’ said Deputy Commissioner of Police Chhaya Sharma.
‘To accomplish her plan, Savita took a house on rent in a densely populated area of Batala. Within hours, she befriended the victim and his family. Once she sensed the opportunity, she kidnapped the child and brought him to Delhi,’ said Sharma.
WITH TWO ARRESTS, DELHI POLICE SAYS 14 CASES SOLVED!
With the arrest of two persons from Mewat, the Delhi police claims to have solved 14 cases of robbery, dacoity and motor vehicle theft in the national capital.
‘The accused have been identified as Anil, 30, and Mohammad Umar, 25, who hail from Rajasthan’s Bharatpur district. Seven stolen vehicles and jewellery worth Rs 1.50 lakh have been recovered from their possession,’ said Chhaya Sharma, Deputy Commissioner of police (south).
The complainant in the Saket case, Anita Bhushan, a senior MNC executive, had told the police that she and her sister Vidhya Bhushan were robbed when they were near Lado Sarai during the wee hours of 1 July. The two sisters had hired a taxi for Anand Vihar ISBT from Gurgaon Sector 56. ‘When they reached at MG Road near Mehrauli at about 5 am, a Toyota Innova car occupied by five or six persons tried to intercept them two-three times. The driver of the taxi tried to escape, but was intercepted near Lado Sarai,’ Sharma added.
‘As the taxi halted, several persons carrying knives and country-made pistols overpowered the driver. Both the women were then robbed of their jewellery and Rs 8,000 cash. The accused persons had also threatened to kill Vidhya’s child, if they raised an alarm,’ she said.
During the investigation, police collected intelligence on the basis of modus operandi adopted by the gang and the time chosen to commit crime. ‘The modus operandi suggested of Mewati criminals and it was supported by the view that all the incidents had been committed during late night or in the early morning which is usually the preferred time for Mewati criminals to strike,’ Sharma said.
SCRAP DEALER HELD FOR STEALING COPPER WIRES
A scrap dealer was arrested here for allegedly stealing copper wire from an under construction house of the chairman of a prominent business group in entertainment sector, police said on Thursday.

Singh was apprehended while he was fleeing with the copper wire from the under construction building. The seized copper wire was valued at around Rs 1.5 lakh, DCP Chhaya Sharma said.

In a bizarre incident, a 40-year-old businessman was arrested for stealing a mobile phone of an air hostess from the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, police said on Thursday.
The accused was identified as Paramjit Singh and was nabbed after his ‘act’ was caught on CCTV cameras installed at the airport premises. The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) immediately raised an alarm and Singh was arrested from Bangalore airport.
According to the police, Singh, who runs an event management company which have many branches across India, had came to the IGI airport on Wednesday morning to fly to Bangalore for business.

By the time the air hostess found her phone missing, Singh had boarded the aircraft IC-201 Jet Airways for Bangalore. She immediately approached the CISF officials at the airport.
The officials looked at the CCTV footage installed in the check-in counter. After investigation, they identified the person and informed the Bangalore airport officials about the incident.

THIEVES STRIKE AT SECURITY OFFICERS’ HOME
Even senior officers of paramilitary forces are not safe in Greater Noida. In a daring daylight incident in Greater Noida, thieves broke into the house of a Deputy Commandant couple of Central Reserve Police (CRP) in Greater Noida.
The police chief deployed his best men to nab the culprits and even CRP is putting in efforts but the thieves are out of reach even after over 36 hours.
The incident took place between 11 am and 1 pm on Wednesday, when Dy Commandant of CRP camp in Surajpur in Greater Noida, Mukhtiyar Singh, and his wife Dy Commandant Kamal Singh were on duty in the camp.
Their six-year-old son had gone to school. They noticed the theft when they returned to their residence for lunch in the afternoon and found lock of the main door broken and clothes and other things scattered here and there.
‘The approach of the police was very casual. They did not provide me with the name and contact number of the investigation officer. Besides money, we lost our official Identity Cards and driving licenses, which could be misused,’ said Singh.
The thieves stole around Rs 50,000 in cash and jewellery worth around Rs two lakh. ‘My wife had kept this cash for a draft. It was in the house due to the ongoing bank strike,’ added Singh.
The incident took place in Delta-2 colony of Greater Noida, which falls in the jurisdiction of Surajpur police station.
‘We have picked up some suspects, including the domestic helps working in the area and will solve the case soon,’ said Ahok Kumar, SP (Rural) in Greater Noida.
