Delay in case hand-over affects CBI probe: A P Singh

GZB: CBI director A P Singh on Friday said that "considerable time lag in handing over cases to the CBI makes the agency's work to collect evidence difficult", while addressing a passing out parade of 15th batch of sub-inspector trainees at Ghaziabad.

The agency chief explained that collecting evidence at times could become tedious since the CBI is not first responder in many cases. "The CBI is not first responder and is usually given the task of investigating and prosecuting a case after a considerable lapse of time since the time offence was committed. It becomes not only difficult, but sometimes also impossible to collect evidence. Therefore, only a scientific recourse to investigation will take it to its logical conclusion," Singh said.

He advised the new recruits that they need to constantly upgrade their skills and knowledge of legal procedures, laws of the land and scientific aids to investigation. "Advanced training allows police officers to better serve the communities they work in, and to retain their edge as law enforcement professionals. This also keeps you abreast with the latest scientific tools to be used in investigation. An investigation done with scientific methodology can yield far better results and solve intricacies of crime," Singh said.

He also presented awards to meritorious cadets on the occasion. Vijay Kumar Singh bagged the best cadet, while Parveen (shooting), Rajan Chaudhary (sports), Ranu Chaudhary (indoor and law), Udai Singh Gurjar (outdoor) and Vivek Chaudhary (cyber crime) were honoured for other categories.

In Akhilesh reign, Noida-Ghaziabad left powerless and dry

Ghaziabad/Noida: The woes of the people of NCR's Noida and Ghaziabad areas have been compounded, thanks to the twin crises of power cuts and water shortage. Noida residents have complained of a significantly reduced supply of water. In sectors such as 10, 11, 12, 15, 27, 31, 32, 33, 34, 37, 56 and 71, the problem of reduced hours of supply has emerged over the past ten days. Many other sectors are reportedly receiving saline mixed with 'soft' Ganga water. "Our house is situated on the ninth floor and very little water reaches that level. The entire pressure gets exhausted on the lower floors. It is a big problem for us," Rama Pandey, a resident of a housing society in Noida Sector 62, said. Munna Sharma, president of Noida Sector-71 RWA and former office bearer of the Federation of Noida RWAs (FONRWA), said, "Normally, we are scheduled to get six hours of water supply, three each in the morning and evening, but these days, we are getting water for just thr...

GHAZIABAD: Builders in  Raj Nagar Extension  and the Ghaziabad Development Authority  (GDA) have joined hands to put an end to congestion woes in the area.

The project is already underway and is expected to incur a cost of Rs 2 crore.  The...

Twenty six-year-old  Ravi Shankar Shukla  was surrounded by friends with a cake in the centre. It was not his birthday, but certainly not less than a birthday like feast also. Ravi had cleared his  civil services examinations in the first attempt securing an all India rank of 39. Unable to express his happiness, Ravi who was in New Delhi on Friday, said, "It's a moment which is worth living.

So, what really helped me is vast knowledge of various areas." City's youngest topper Mayank Awasthi (23) was of the view that a goal ...
