Staff member among 3 held for robbing ₹30 lakh from car showroom manager
₹ 30 lakh from car showroom manager
The accused have been identified as Sunil Taneja, Suraj Yadav and Sumit Yadav, he said.
"Sumit Yadav works as an assistant manager at the Bentley showroom in Hotel Samrat in Chanakyapuri, and he passed the information to Taneja and Yadav about the cash in the showroom.
"Yadav and Taneja allegedly posed as ED officials and forcibly took the money from the victim, Anil Tiwari, who is the showroom manager," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Anand Kumar Mishra told PTI.
The officer said that the incident occurred on June 20, but the formal complaint was lodged on July 2 at the Chanakyapuri police station.
"Based on Tiwari's complaint, three teams were formed and an investigation was launched," said the Additional DCP.
According to the police, Tiwari, a resident of Gurugram, was intercepted near the Embassy of Hungary while he was going back home from work on his scooter.
A four-wheeler stopped him, and two men, one dressed in police uniform, claimed they were ED officials and were investigating a case.
"They took him to the showroom, threatened him and asked him to settle the case. Fearing trouble, Tiwari handed over the money he was carrying in a bag. The accused then took him near National Highway-8 and dropped him near his scooter," said the officer.
During interrogation, the police found that Sumit Yadav had tipped off the other accused.
While Sunil Taneja has a previous case under the Excise Act, Suraj Yadav had no prior criminal record.
"With their arrest, teams have so far recovered ₹15 lakh cash, ₹8 lakh fixed deposit, a car which they had purchased against the FD and the car used in the crime. Further investigation is underway," said the officer.

Chanda Kochhar got Rs 64 crore bribe to OK Videocon loan: Tribunal
Chanda Kochhar NEW DELHI: Holding Chanda Kochhar , former CEO of ICICI Bank , guilty of receiving bribes of Rs 64 crore through her husband from Videocon group, an appellate tribunal here in an order dated July 3 observed that the money was paid as quid-pro-quo for sanctioning a loan of Rs 300 crore to the Videocon group. 'The history given by the appellants (ED) has been narrated and supported by the evidence in the light of the reference of the statements under Section 50 of the PMLA Act which are admissible and can be relied upon. The allegation made by the appellants stands because on paper ownership of NRPL is shown to be of V N Dhoot (CMD of Videocon group) but according to him also, the entire control of the company was of Deepak Kochhar (Chanda Kochhar's husband). Thus, the allegations were made for quid-pro-quo to Chanda Kochhar for sanction of loan to Videocon group of industries,' the tribunal said in its order. The appellate tribunal slammed the adjudicating authority that had earlier in Nov 2020 given relief to the accused in releasing the attached assets worth Rs 78 crore. 'The adjudicating authority has ignored the material facts while drawing the conclusions which are coming out on the face of the record and, therefore, we cannot endorse the finding of the adjudicating authority going against the record and ignoring the relevant facts. Thus, we find substance in the allegation of the appellants for quid-pro-quo to Chanda Kochhar for sanction of loan of Rs 300 crore to Videocon group and thereupon, a sum of Rs 64 crore was transferred to NRPL, a company managed by Deepak Kochhar and, in fact, he was the managing director of the said company. The factual issues narrated above clarifies that the appellants have taken up the matter to justify the attachment of the property,' the tribunal said, justifying the ED's attachments. The tribunal noted that the sanction of a loan of Rs 300 crore by ICICI Bank to the Videocon group where Chanda Kochhar remained part of the committee was against the rules and policy of the bank. 'The issue remains about the transfer of Rs 64 crore by Videocon group through its entity SEPL to NRPL day after the disbursement of loan by ICICI Bank,' it said while validating the evidence produced by the ED. The appellate tribunal also held Kochhar guilty of not disclosing her conflict of interest while sanctioning the loan.

Man orders paneer, gets chicken instead
Lucknow: An FIR was lodged against a Chinese restaurant in Gomtinagar's Vibhuti Khand on Sunday after a customer alleged that the restaurant delivered 'chicken kalimirch' instead of 'paneer kalimirch' that he had ordered. This mix-up reportedly caused the customer a severe food-related illness, prompting police to register a case and launch a thorough investigation. The complaint, lodged at the Vibhuti Khand police station, was filed by Manish Tiwari, a private employee residing in Pandit Purwa, Indiranagar. Recounting the incident, Tiwari said he visited a friend's residence in the Kamta area, where the two decided to enjoy a meal together. Opting for a vegetarian dish, they placed an order for 'paneer kalimirch dry' from a well-known restaurant near Hahnemann crossing, using a popular food delivery app. According to Tiwari, the delivery boy arrived promptly, handing over what was presumed to be their vegetarian order. However, the dish contained chicken instead of paneer. Trusting the restaurant's service, the duo consumed the meal, allegedly without realising even once that the paneer tasted differently. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Tiwari claimed his friend suffered from severe vomiting, raising immediate concerns about the food's contents.
