Bizman robbed off Mercedes in Panchkula: Mastermind with long list of crimes in net
Two weeks after a 42-year-old Mumbai-based businessman was robbed of his Mercedes car near Nada Sahib gurdwara on July 1, Panchkula police have cracked the case with the arrest of the mastermind. Two other accused, Sukhjeet Singh, 33, from Hoshiarpur, Punjab, and Sukhbir Singh, 29, from Kiratpur, Rupnagar, were already arrested on July 7. (HT) Identified as Dara Singh, hailing from Rupnagar, Punjab, he has a significant criminal history, with 32 cases in Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, including charges of attempt to murder, robbery, Arms Act and Gangster Act, shared DCP (Crime) Amit Dahiya. Two other accused, Sukhjeet Singh, 33, from Hoshiarpur, Punjab, and Sukhbir Singh, 29, from Kiratpur, Rupnagar, were already arrested on July 7. Further interrogation led to the arrest of the mastermind from Punjab, he said. On the night of July 1, the victim, Aarif Sheikh, was driving his 2014 model Mercedes car from Nada Sahib Road towards Peer Muchalla. He was suddenly intercepted by a car near Peer Baba Dargah, Sector 3. The three car occupants, who claimed to be cops, and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, began searching his vehicle. The trio then threatened Sheikh with a pistol, forced him into the backseat of their car, and robbed him of his Mercedes, two mobile phones, a gold chain and wrist watch. The accused reportedly drove Sheikh around nearby areas for some time before abandoning him near a toll plaza on the Panchkula-Shimla highway and making off with his Mercedes. Following the arrest of the three accused, police have recovered the Mercedes, the Honda Amaze car used in the crime, a gold chain, two iPhones, a watch worth ₹2.5 lakh, Apple earbuds and a dummy pistol. DCP Dahiya stated that the accused had previously served jail time together and were currently out on bail. Their motive was to quickly sell the stolen property, but police foiled their plans. The police are now investigating their links to other crimes in Haryana and possible involvement in incidents across other states.

Semi driver found guilty in fatal 2020 crash at rural Manitoba highway intersection
A semi-trailer truck driver who was involved in an accident that killed a 34-year-old man on a rural Manitoba highway five years ago has been found guilty of dangerous driving causing death. Sukhbir Singh was charged with one count of dangerous driving causing death after he drove through a stop sign along Highway 13 in the rural municipality of Grey, about 70 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg, and collided with a pickup truck in February 2020. He was previously convicted of dangerous driving in this case, but in 2023, an appeal court decided the original trial judge misinterpreted photo evidence, leading to a miscarriage of justice and an unfair trial. The appeal court overturned Singh's conviction and ordered a new trial. In a May 14 decision, Associate Chief Justice Shane Perlmutter of the Manitoba Court of King's Bench also found Singh guilty. Singh was driving a semi-trailer truck south on Highway 13 around 6 a.m. on Feb. 28, 2020, and drove through a stop sign at the Highway 2 intersection, the decision said. He was working as a delivery driver and had a valid licence to operate a semi-trailer truck. Road signs indicate that drivers on Highway 13 are required to stop at this intersection, while those on Highway 2 are not, the legal filing said. Andrew Labossiere, 34, was driving his pickup truck east on Highway 2 and hit Singh's semi on the passenger side as he entered the intersection. Labossiere's truck was pushed into the southwest ditch and he died. The Crown argued commercial semi drivers "owe an enhanced duty" to other road users. The prosecutor said Singh's actions were a "marked departure" from the standard of care expected of a driver in his position, the decision said. Singh did not testify during the trial. His defence lawyers did not dispute that he had failed to stop at the intersection, nor did they argue that he hit the breaks too late to prevent the collision. His defence argued that the Crown's case is based on the presence of functioning warning signals — such as flashing lights, visible stop lines and unobstructed rumble strips — but evidence doesn't prove their presence at the time of the accident. The evidence included in Perlmutter's decision showed the stop sign had a red flashing light, but the flash pattern, wattage and how far it illuminated at the time of the crash were unknown. There is a reflective warning sign 250 metres before the intersection, with two rumble strips on the highway near this point. Police testified that the road was well-maintained throughout the winter and no ice was on it at the time, the decision said. The evidence included in Perlmutter's decision says Singh was sober and had gotten enough sleep. Cellphone analysis showed he was on an 18-minute phone call before the crash, but it wasn't clear if he was using a hands-free device. An accident reconstruction expert testified that Singh was going 85 km/h when the collision happened, and he hit his breaks 1.5 seconds after impact already occurred. The expert said Singh began to react a second before impact, but didn't have enough time or distance to prevent the crash. While the Crown argued Singh owed a greater duty of care as a semi driver, Perlmutter said it was "unnecessary" to decide on those grounds. Instead, his decision was based on his view that a "reasonable person" would be "highly attentive to their surroundings" while driving a semi on a dark winter morning. "Mr. Singh's failure to perceive and react to all of the warnings was a marked departure from the standard of care expected of a reasonable person in Mr. Singh's circumstances," Perlmutter wrote. The judge said he was satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that Singh deviated from the level of care owed to other motorists and found Singh guilty. "This was more than a momentary lapse of attention. It was a failure to observe multiple warnings over several hundred feet of highway," Perlmutter wrote.

SHO ‘lets off' snatcher after ‘compensation deal', Mohali SSP orders probe
1 2 3 Mohali: In a development that has raised serious questions about police conduct, the station house officer (SHO) of Mohali Phase 1 police station, inspector Sukhbir Singh, allegedly let off a snatcher after compensating the victim instead of following due legal process. Mohali senior superintendent of police (SSP) Deepak Pareek has now marked an official inquiry into the matter. The incident involves Chotu, a local fruit vendor, who was reportedly looted of Rs 25,000 by four men. As the accused attempted to flee, fellow vendors managed to apprehend one of the snatchers and handed him over to the police. However, according to Chotu, the police did not register a formal FIR. Instead, SHO Sukhbir Singh allegedly facilitated a "compromise", instructing the accused to pay Rs 10,000 in compensation, after which the snatcher was released. The other three accused remain absconding. Despite repeated attempts, inspector Sukhbir Singh did not answer phone calls. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buenos Aires: AI guru Andrew Ng recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Aroun... Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo Describing the incident as a case of "might is right," sources alleged that the SHO assumed the role of adjudicator rather than law enforcer, raising concerns about procedural lapses and accountability in handling criminal cases. SSP Deepak Pareek said, "I will get this case enquired and take appropriate action after verifying the facts." Notably, inspector Sukhbir Singh has previously faced disciplinary action and was suspended twice for misconduct during his tenure. The incident has sparked outrage among vendors, who argue that such handling of criminal cases undermines public trust in law enforcement and sets a dangerous precedent of informal settlements in matters of serious crime.
