New Delhi, May 25 (IANS) Notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi was transferred from Sabarmati Jail in Gujarat to Delhi's Mandoli Prison in the early hours of Thursday, an official said.
The decision to lodge Bishnoi to Mandoli jail was taken due to security concerns, a senior prison official said.
On May 2, gangster Tillu Tajpuriya, 33, was stabbed over 90 times to death by the assailants in Tihar jail.
The Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) recently obtained custody of Bishnoi in relation to a case involving the smuggling of drugs across the border.
The ATS aimed to interrogate the gangster regarding any potential connections he may have had in relation to the seizure of 40 kg of heroin, valued at over Rs 200 crore, from a Pakistani fishing boat in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Gujarat in September of last year
Few days ago, a member of the Bishnoi gang who was absconding for the last three years after jumping interim bail in an attempted murder case was nabbed in Delhi after a brief exchange of fire.
The accused was identified as Yogesh alias Gogha.
He is also found previously involved in 16 criminal cases including attempt to murder, robbery, dacoity, hurt, criminal intimidation and Arms Act registered in Delhi and its peripherals.
The bodies of a married couple and their two children, aged three and 11, were found metres from the border on Jan. 19, 2022. Investigators have said they believe the deaths were linked to a human smuggling operation, and a man charged in the U.S. is to stand trial later this year.
A video showing the woman's ordeal has gone viral on social media in which she is seen lying on the ground in a public place. The incident took place on Thursday and the woman, identified as Kalpana, was "turned back without check-up".
The Chief Minister, while interacting with the media after reviewing the progress of development projects worth Rs 167 crore in the city, said it is ironic that the Maharajas in power were more concerned about their own development rather than that of the city. He said though Patiala was known as 'City of Gardens' but due to apathy of those in power, the city lost its shine in the last few years.
Punjab Police's former Head Constable Gagandeep Singh, who planted the bomb at the court complex on December 23, 2021, was killed as it suddenly went off. Six others were injured. The case was initially registered at a Ludhiana police station, but later, it was taken over by the NIA.
Her statement comes after she was dragged by a man when she had gone for an inspection at AIIMS in the early hours of January 19. The man had started making lewd and vulgar gestures towards Maliwal and she was reprimanding him when he asked her to sit in his car, the man suddenly pulled the car glass up and hand of Maliwal got stuck in car's window,
The incident occurred on November 26 last year when the drunk passenger allegedly urinated on a co-passenger in her 70s in the business class of an Air India flight from New York to Delhi. Aviation regulator DGCA on January 5 had said that the conduct of Air India was unprofessional and has led to a systemic failure.
