Aligarh RLD district president killed

Vijay Upadhyay
Aligarh. The history of Uttar Pradesh during this decade has been full of political murders -- be it BSP MLA Raju Pal, BJP MLA Nirbhay Sharma, BJP MLA Krishnanad Rai. And now former BJP MLA Malkhan Singh was killed on Monday evening in Aligarh in the same manner as the other three MLAs.

Malkhan Singh, currently district president Rashtriya Lok Dal, was sitting outside his house in Gyan Sarovar colony at 5:30 pm on Monday. He was surrounded by three bodyguards, including two police gunners.

Few minutes later, a car stopped at the gate of his house. A group of armed gunmen got off the car and began firing with semi-automatic weapons dropping Malkhan Singh's entire security detail in the first flurry of shots.

Singh tried to save himself by running inside the house. The assailants followed him and shot him repeatedly, killing him on the spot. After murdering Singh, they fled in the same car, which was later found abandoned a few hundred paces away.

Apart from Malkhan Singh, his police gunner Sunil Singh was also killed in the attack while the other gunner Satyaveer and Malkhan's brother-in-law Prempal Singh were seriously injured and were admitted in the Aligarh Medical College.

According to post-mortem report, 10-11 bullets had hit Malkhan Singh, out of which one was hit in his head.

According to Aligarh SP SK Verma, the brother of Malkhan Singh had filed a named complaint against the former Aligarh Zila Panchayat chairman Tejvir Singh Guddu and five others for planning this murder in some post-poll rivalry.

He said the police had received reports that several high-end criminals had been involved in the attack, which was conducted with deadly precision, using semi-automatic weapons and "disposable" country-made pistols.

Few hours after the murder, the police claimed to have arrested one assailant Amit Kumar who had been named by the deceased's brother in the FIR filed in police station Quarsi of Aligarh while the search is on for the remaining accused.

Woman torched to death by inlaws on International Women's Day in India

AGRA.               It could serve as a well-placed slap in the face of the the groups of so-called women's rights activists who all too recently celebrated International Women’s Day, fervently praising the contribution made by women to the society and vowing to prevent violence against the feminine gender comfortably ensconced in luxurious clubs and hotels.    While the world was busy celebrating women’s day, a young girl was murdered in cold-blood, torched to death by her in-laws in Kayamganj town of Farrukhabad district of Uttar Pradesh, alongwith a 6-month fetus inside her, just three years after marriage.    Two weeks have passed since the grisly murder but the local police appears to be in no hurry to catch the absconding in-laws who doused the girl in kerosene and left her to burn and die on the street, making good their escape while the locals awaited for the police to arrive. Meanwhile, the victim’s mother Archana Sharma has suffered from a strok

My views on Libya, India and the permanent SC seat

On Wednesday, the British government 'de-recognized' the Gaddafi government and decided that it was in the interest of democracy to recognize the Libyan rebels as the only legal representative of the Libyan people. Immediately after that, the British Police entered the Libyan embassy in London and forced the remaining Libyan diplomats out of UK. France has already been parachuting modern weaponry, arms and ammunition to the Libyan rebel strongholds and both France and the United States have recognized the rebels as the legal Libyan representative power. While I am not a fan of Gaddafi or his regime in any way or form but I am equally disappointed in NATO's tactics and the double standards being played by the western powers in the Arab world. Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein had been two sore patches in the otherwise near-sweeping 'western conquest' of the Arab world and its oil. Only now, when a group of disenchanted Libyans, trained and provided for by wes

Vishal Sharma / Agra December 29, 2008, 0:00 IST Govardhan Udyog plans to use cowdung to produce particle board. Faced with the task of developing environment-friendly technology for industry due to guidelines issued by the Supreme Court, entrepreneurs in Agra are realising the cost-effective potential of such technologies and innovations. Govardhan Udyog is one such unit which plans to use a non-conventional raw material, cowdung, to produce particle board and pharmaceutical products. The unit was inaugurated this week on the Agra-Delhi national highway near the Mathura refinery, about 55 km from Agra. Company sources said the basic raw material used in the manufacture of particle board will be cow dung. This will perhaps make it the first particle board manufacturing facility using cowdung as the raw material. Govardhan Udyog Managing Director SK Mittal said particle boards were emerging as a viable alternative in designing office furniture and automation products in the country as c
