Police close to cracking Delhi ‘parcel’ body case

New Delhi: Delhi Police on Monday inched closer to solving the mystery related to a decomposed body of a young girl, which was parceled to Ajmer recently, after a family hailing from Jalandhar claimed that it could be their missing daughter.
According to reports, two members from a Jalandhar-based family approached the Lahori Gate Police Station after they came to know through media reports about an unclaimed body of a young girl found by the Rajasthan police.
The family told Delhi Police officials that their daughter is missing since March 13 and also gave her photographs to them for verification. After matching the photographs with that of the victim’s, Delhi Police has claimed of a striking similarity between the two.
In view of the development, the family is now being taken to Kishangarh in Ajmer district, where the victim's body has been kept in a freezer at the Yagya Narayan hospital.
The matter came to light on April 08, when the workers of a cargo company complained of foul smell coming out of a tin container under which the girl’s body was hidden.
After initial investigation, it was found that the parcel was sent from Old Delhi to Ajmer in Rajasthan on March 31.
Police suspects that woman was brutally tortured and murdered as there were burn injuries and stab wounds on her body.
Although, the efforts are on to nab the killer, the investigation so far has revealed that the body was parceled by Milap Transport Roadlines from the Lahori Gate area in north Delhi to its branch in Kishangarh in Ajmer.
Police claims that the suspected sender of the sender, who could possibly be the killer, has been identified as 'B' and the receiver was mentioned as 'self' in the transport slip.
The dispatch date mentioned in the slip was March 31, so the body could be at least one to two week old.
Meanwhile, a team of Rajasthan Police is also in Delhi to investigate the matter.
Police has also blamed the transport company for its sheer negligence in not properly verifying the names of the sender and the receiver of the parcel in the transportation slip.

No breakthrough yet in Ajmer parcel case

Police is yet to make any breakthrough in the case of a body being parcelled to Ajmer from Delhi as the woman remains unidentified.
Investigators said a family from Jalandhar approached them saying it could be their daughter but after examination, it was found that she was not related to them.
Police said they were trying to locate the rickshaw puller who brought the body to the parcel office.
"We are trying to draw a sketch of the rickshaw puller. If we can locate him, it will be of great help in solving the case," the official said.
Investigators believe that the woman, aged around 25 years, was tortured and then murdered.
"She bore burn injuries and there were stab wounds on her body. We are yet to identify her," a senior police official said.
The body was parcelled by Milap Transport Roadlines from Lahori Gate to its branch in Kishangarh in Ajmer by an unidentified person. The sender has identified himself as 'B' and it has to be received by himself.
A Rajasthan Police team is camping for investigations while Delhi Police is assisting them.
The body was discovered by workers of the transportation company on April 8 in their Ajmer office after foul smell started emanating from the parcel.
"The transportation company was negligent in handling the parcel. They have not entered the name of the sender and receiver properly in its register," the official said.

Children don't listen to us; parents complain to police

Be tough with my son as he doesn't listen to me.
This was the plea made by a mother to a policeman, who went to her house in Mehrauli to challan her for allowing her 15-year-old son to drive her car which has tinted glass and a fancy numberplate, both illegal.
Similar was the complaint by an ex-army officer when confronted by traffic policemen for allowing his son to drive the car without a licence.
These incidents were narrated by Satyendra Garg, Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic), as he said police will do what can be done but the trend shows the crumbling of institutions which does not augur well for the society.
"A concerned citizen informed me that a 15-year-old child in posh Mehrauli drives his mother's car, which has tinted glasses and fancy number plate, very rashly.
"As it was dangerous for both the child and the safety of others, I sent traffic officials to their residence and found that car had the mentioned defects," Garg said.

Arunachal police dept set for a major overhaul

ITANAGAR: The security scenario in Arunachal Pradesh is all set for a major change with the Cabinet Committee on Security approving funds for the modernisation of the state police force.
Disclosing this on Friday, home minister Tako Dabi said, "At the initiative of Union home minister P Chidambaram, the committee has sanctioned Rs 138.95 crore to the state for modernisation of the police force. The project will also ensure upgrade of police establishments in the state, including insurgency-affected Tirap and Changlang districts."
He also pledged transparency and fiscal accountability on use of funds for the purpose and hoped that the state's security scenario will be on the right track within 5 to 10 years.
"Once the Trans-Arunachal Highway project gets implemented and all the mega power projects are commissioned, the state will require 15,000 additional security personnel, 58 police stations and 100 police vehicles to maintain law and order", he added.
The minister said the state government has decided to hand over the Sanjay Kumar case to the CBI since the police could not make any headway in the case even after four-and-half-months of Kumar's abduction from Kharsang in Changlang district.
The supervisor of a Kharsang-based coal mine was abducted by a group of four unidentified armed miscreants on November 24 last year. All efforts to trace him haven't yielded any result so far.
