Delhi News Live Updates: 4 held for robbing students at gunpoint by posing as cops

Delhi Police has arrested four persons for allegedly robbing a group of students at gunpoint by posing as police officers, officials said on Tuesday.

"On December 10, six students living in a rented flat in Subhash Nagar were targeted by the accused. Posing as police officers, they accused the students of engaging in illegal activities, including running an illegal call centre. They also told the students that an immediate search of their premises was required. Under this pretext, the accused robbed them of approximately Rs 1.55 lakh at gunpoint before fleeing from the scene," Deputy Commissioner of Police (West), Vichitra Veer, said.

A probe was launched after the victims reported the matter to the Hari Nagar police station, which led to the arrest of three accused persons identified as Manpreet Singh, Junaid Wasid, and Kuldeep Singh, the DCP said.

Police have so far recovered Rs 1 lakh of the looted cash, a pistol, a live cartridge, and a car used in the crime, the officer said. (PTI)

Integrated corridor: Delhi HC seeks Centre's reply on national sports club's plea for compensation

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday sought the Centre's response on a plea of the National Sports Club of India seeking determination of compensation towards the acquisition of some portion of its premises for the "integrated transit corridor". A bench of Justices Prathiba M Singh and Amit Sharma asked the authorities to compute the compensation payable to the club.

"Issue notice. Let the respondent file an affidavit computing the compensation payable along with the interest amount," it said. The court posted the hearing on March 7, 2025.

The National Sports Club of India (NSCI) sought a direction to the Centre's Ministry of Urban Development for determination of the compensation towards the acquisition of 8,261.81 square metre of its premises for developing the integrated corridor on Mathura Road and Purana Qila Road.

The petition, filed by advocate Hasan Murtaza, said the club made a representation to the land and development officer in 2019 requesting expeditious steps towards determination of the compensation under the provisions of the perpetual lease deed and the provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.

The plea, however, said no action was taken by the authorities till date. (PTI)
