Lucknow, Dec 12 (IANS) A member of an international cartel was arrested by the Gomti Nagar police after the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) detained him up on a tip off from Amausi airport soon after he landed from Guwahati.
The accused is Sunny Dilip Lal Sharma alias Manav Govind.
While he had secured an identity in the name of Manav Govind to smuggle gold this time, it was revealed that he had been using six different identities.
The DRI team recovered 862 grams of gold worth Rs 46 lakh from him. He was later handed over to the Gomti Nagar police.
Police said that during interrogation, it surfaced that Sharma originally hailed from Ulhasnagar in Maharashtra and was a part of an international syndicate.
"He was given the responsibility of carrying a foreign origin gold that was sneaked in from Myanmar via Imphal and then by a gang member to Guwahati from where he had to deliver the consignment to Delhi. But soon after landing at Amausi airport he was intercepted by DRI," the police said.
The police further added that he was given a commission for the task and his bank accounts are being scrutinised.
"Sharma had smuggled the gold six-seven times in the past and used different names as his identity," said the police.
He further disclosed that he worked for a gang which is working on an international level and several like him are members in the gang.
In the past he had visited countries like Nepal, Dubai, Qatar in connection with gold smuggling. The police recovered five Aadhaar Cards from him.
SHO, Gomti Nagar, D.C. Mishra said that they will be interrogating the accused to seek information about his other gang members.
The party said that the "utterly horrible" language used by the BJP leaders shows how much they hate Delhiites and how they command zero respect for the feelings of the people of Delhi. Through their open threats shot at the CM elected by the 2 crore people of Delhi, the BJP is disrespecting not only the mandate given to CM Arvind Kejriwal but is also damaging the social fabric of Delhi, it said.
The investigations have revealed that a terrorist, gangster, and drug smugglers syndicate led by Bishnoi was involved in many targeted killings and extortion from businessmen, professionals including doctors and this had created terror among the public at large.
Meanwhile, a polygraph test on Aaftab is presently underway at the forensic science laboratory (FSL) in Rohini. Official sources said that a pre-medical session to gain some preliminary information which will be later used to develop diagnostic questions, as well as a scientific session was conducted on Aaftab at the FSL office on Tuesday evening.
According to the Chief Minister, Thal Shadap, 45, Nikhasi Dhar, 65, and Sik Talang 55, died on the spot, while Tal Nartiang, 40 and Chirup Sumer, 40 succumbed to their injuries in the hospital.
The Income Tax Department on Tuesday said that it has unearthed unaccounted transactions exceeding Rs 100 crore during searches on a few groups engaged in jewellery and real estate business across the country in connection with alleged tax evasion. According to an official, on November 17, the searches were carried out in more than 30 locations spread across Patna, Bhagalpur, Dehri-on-Sone, Lucknow and Delhi.
In the video that is now viral on social media, Rashid can be heard saying that "when one is in a fit of rage, he can cut anyone into 36 pieces, instead of just 35." When asked whether he was justifying the murder, Rashid says that 'It happens'.
