Out On Morning Walk, 43-Yr-Old Man Killed In Front Of Daughter
New Delhi: A 43-year-old man was shot dead while his daughter was injured when armed men on a bike fired several shots at the duo on their morning walk on Friday in northwest Delhi's Bawana.
The deceased was identified as Deepak Kumar. Police claimed that the murder was a fallout of a gang war, and UK-based gangster Kapil Sangwan alias Nandu was behind the killing.
Kumar was allegedly shot eight times from close range near the fields adjoining his farmhouse. Sources said that he was the nephew of underworld don Manjeet Mahal, and the murder might be linked to a long-standing feud between Mahal and London-based Nandu.
"Kapil Sangwan suspected Kumar was actively working for Mahal and thus ordered the hit," alleged a police source.
The two gangsters have been at odds for years, resulting in the deaths of over a dozen people.

According to police, the incident occurred between 7.30am and 8am. Kumar's father claimed that he was walking at a distance from his son when the incident occurred. Kumar and his daughter were walking near their field when some motorcyclists pulled up and began shooting at them.

Kumar died on the spot. His daughter was also injured in her hand and is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital.
"The shooters appeared to have conducted a reconnaissance and were well aware of Kumar's routine. They likely knew he stepped out each morning for walks and waited for the right moment to strike," a police officer commented. The attackers fled immediately after the shooting, which occurred just a few metres from Kumar's residence.
The deceased was reportedly involved in trading and other business activities. Sources said he was the nephew of jailed gangster t Mahal, a name long associated with violent gang rivalries in Delhi and Haryana. Police suspect that the murder was ordered by UK-based Nandu, who has an Interpol Red Corner Notice against him.
This incident is being seen as another episode in the series of gang wars in Delhi, with police struggling to curb the violence.
"There's reason to believe Kumar's killing is part of the ongoing Mahal-Nandu feud," a source said, adding that Sangwan ordered a hit to allegedly assert dominance over the rival gang.
Over a dozen lives have already been lost in the rivalry between the two gangs. Just two years ago, Nandu was named in the murder of a BJP leader in Delhi. Earlier this year, he was also linked to the killing of a builder in Paschim Vihar.
Police teams are poring through CCTV footage of the area in an effort to identify and trace the assailants.

Skeletal remains found from Lohit riverbank suspected to be of Assam dentist
Itanagar: The skeletal remains discovered along the Lohit riverbank in Arunachal Pradesh's Lohit district is suspected to be of Guwahati-based dentist Dr. Debanjib Kumar Sharma, who had gone missing from a riverside resort nearly a month ago. Dr. Debanjib Kumar Sharma. Police said they have collected DNA samples from Dr Sharma's mother and daughter and it will be sent to laboratories in either Guwahati or Kolkata for forensic analysis, sparking hopes of closure for the family. The remains were found on June 23 by local fishermen near Panbari, about 15-20 km from Parshuram Kund. Kumar had disappeared under mysterious circumstances on May 31 after checking into Tulow Resort, situated near the river. 'We've collected DNA samples from Dr Sharma's mother and daughter. They will be sent to laboratories in either Guwahati or Kolkata for forensic analysis,' said Lohit superintendent of police (SP) Thutan Jamba. 'It may take two to three months, but we are pushing for quicker results.' According to police, Sharma was last seen by resort staff around 8 am on the day of his disappearance, reportedly shifting rooms due to landslides and flash floods triggered by heavy rainfall. His belongings, including his motorcycle, were found intact—fueling confusion over his sudden disappearance. Rescue teams comprising police, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) were immediately pressed into service, but no trace was found until last week's grim discovery. Medical experts believe the skeletal remains could be about a month old, which matches the timeline of Sharma's disappearance. Yet, police are keeping all possibilities open. 'Preliminary inputs suggest accidental drowning due to high river levels,' Jamba said. 'However, we are not ruling out foul play.' 'We will continue the investigation based on forensic findings,' the SP added.

Majithia case: Badal dares CM Mann to prove foreign funding by Saraya Industries
Chandigarh, Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Saturday dared Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to prove that Saraya Industries, in which party leader Bikram Singh Majithia had an inherited share of 11 per cent, had received even one rupee in foreign funding from 2007. Majithia case: Badal dares CM Mann to prove foreign funding by Saraya Industries Lashing out at the Aam Aadmi Party government for arresting Majithia, Badal said that a case was registered against the former Akali minister because he was "constantly exposing" the Mann dispensation over various issues. The Punjab Vigilance Bureau arrested Majithia on June 25 in a disproportionate assets case allegedly involving laundering of ₹ 540 crore "drug money". The Vigilance Bureau claimed the preliminary investigations revealed that more than ₹ 540 crore of drug money was laundered through several channels allegedly facilitated by Majithia, who is the brother-in-law of the SAD president. It included huge unaccounted cash worth ₹ 161 crore deposited in bank accounts of companies controlled by Majithia, channelisation of ₹ 141 crore through suspected foreign entities, excess deposition of ₹ 236 crore without disclosure or explanation in company financial statements and acquisition of movable and immovable assets by Majithia without any legitimate sources of income. Addressing the media here, the SAD chief trashed the Vigilance Bureau's claims against Majithia regarding the disproportionate assets. "The only foreign funding received by Saraya Industries was in March, 2006 when it received ₹ 35 crore from the US-based Clearwater Corporation in exchange for 25 per cent shares in the company. Majithia entered politics only in 2007," said Badal. "Clearwater Corporation, which had offices in several countries, had invested ₹ 50,000 crore globally. All money invested by this company through the NBFC in Saraya Industries was done after due clearance from the Reserve Bank of India and approval of the Foreign Investment Promotion Board ," he added. Badal also said that all transactions of Saraya Industries were scrutinized and accepted by the Income Tax department. "This clearly proves that claims of an investment of ₹ 540 crore into Saraya Industries through foreign funding are absurd and malicious and being done with the sole purpose of defaming Majithia," he added. The SAD chief also clarified that all cash transactions done by Saraya Industries while procuring sugarcane and conducting distillery business had also been scrutinized by the Income Tax department. Badal stated that Saraya Industries Ltd was a private limited company deemed to be a public limited company and was a different entity from Majithia and could not be associated with the latter. "Majithia has no control over the company's day-to-day functioning," he said. Badal accused Chief Minister Mann of pressurizing the state police chief to register a case against Majithia. The SAD chief claimed that no investigation had been done before registering the case. "The Vigilance department did not deem it fit to issue a questionnaire to Majithia which is a prerequisite before filing such a case," he said. Badal said an affidavit, which the government had submitted to the Supreme Court in 2023 while appealing for cancellation of the regular bail given to Majithia and seeking his custodial interrogation in the 2021 drug case, was used "verbatim" to register this new case against him. "This was done despite the fact that the Supreme Court rejected the affidavit in April this year and refused to overturn the regular bail given to Majithia by the high court or grant the request for custodial interrogation. The apex court even asked the A government to complete the probe in two days following which it has now taken this new route to engage in political vendetta," he claimed. The SAD president also condemned the manner in which retired officers former DGP Siddharth Chattopadhyaya and former deputy director of Enforcement Directorate Niranjan Singh were called by the Vigilance Bureau to share information regarding the drug case. Terming the entire case as "illegal and a willful fabrication", Badal said, "We will go to people and expose the A government."
