As
reported by Meerut police the accused serial killer Salim belongs to
a gang of 35, is arrested along with an accomplice, used to murder
his passengers and pocket away all valuables, according to police.
Police were now trying to trail Salim's accomplice in the crime.
Following sustained interrogation, Salim revealed how a group of
taxi drivers from Bahraich stepped into the world of crime killing
passengers and robbing them.
The
gang, which was busted on Thursday, claimed to have killed 50-odd
policemen during raids and highway attacks in areas that included
Faizabad, Allahabad, Gorakhpur, Bahraich, Meerut and Bulandshahr
districts.
Police believe that the gang exploited the lack of inter-district
co-ordination of UP Police and managed to keep the cops away despite
striking even as many as six times in a single day.
The gang was always on the move picking up targets posing as taxi
drivers. Unsuspecting passengers then were robbed and murdered in
deserted areas.
Salim said in his interrogation that his victims included men, women
and children, according to police. Investigations were on to find
out more about his crimes.
The
man had been arrested by police in Bara Banki earlier, but had
escaped from custody. Salim said Ali Ahmad and he were taxi drivers
who used to take vehicles on hire and use them for outstation trips.
It was during one of these trips that they overheard some cops
discussing how anyone can commit a murder in one district, pass on
to another district or even the state, without being caught.
Ali Ahmad, Salim told Meerut police, has around 35 members in his
gang who operate in batches of 6 to 7 members.
"They strike at one go. If they strike in Lucknow, they will reach
Kanpur and look for another target. After murdering him on the
highway, the gang would stop in the next district for a fresh
target. This not only kept them on the move but also helped them
evade suspicion," said SSP Meerut Dipesh Juneja.
There is co incidence between the violent revolet of prisoners in
Merrut jail on March 30, 2007 and the Revolt of Sepoy martyr Mangal
Pandy’s revolt against British empire on March 29, 1857.
Was
mangal pandey got drunk?
Mangal Pandey was got drunk in secular book as Shivji took wine in
ECERT IGNOU books. Home ministry gives information under Raight of
Informat Act that thereis no record about Subhash Bose’s
contreibution in freedom fight. Sonia Gandhi is serious on the
demand of freedom fighting terrorists in the leadership of PDP to
withdraw the army from J & K. Secular UPA government gives Indian
Citizenship to Bangladeshi infiltrators to think that this is the
time of globalization. Naxalites are not criminals as said by
Somnath Chatterjee. They are freedom fighters and children of the
Home Minister Shivraj Patil. Freedom fight against Supreme Court
will begin from tomorrow’s strike call in Tamil Nadu after getting
blessings from Congress, Left, Arjun, V P and Karuna Nidhi OBC
gurus.
Lord Hume taught freedom fight to Indians of independence. Now
Italian so called seculars under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi
teach freedom fight in free India.
The need for
presenting an objective history of India's struggle for Independence
was stressed upon by the Communist Party of India (CPI) general
secretary A.B. Bardhan here on March 23, 2007. Leela Sarup follows
him.
Mangal Pandey was not a hero, claims a researcher who has written a
book on the man who is widely considered a hero of the sepoy mutiny
of 1857.
"Mangal
Pandey was not a hero. He was a sepoy who got drunk (and) incited
fellow sepoys to join him against the British but was left alone as
nobody joined him," said Leela Sarup, who released her book 'The
Trial of Mangal Pandey' here on March 29, 2007.
She
also criticised Aamir Khan's movie based on the life on Mangal
Pandey, saying: "It was a wrong projection based on incorrect
facts."
Mangal Pandey, a sepoy of the 5th company of the 34th regiment of
native infantry based in Meerut, took up arms against the British on
March 29, 1857 and was hanged on April 8 the same year.
Prisoners are free to march from Meerut to Delhi to symbolise 1857
As
reported on March 25: As many as 30,000 youth drawn from all
districts of the country would undertake a historic march from
Meerut to Delhi on May 7 to commemorate the 150th year of the First
War of Independence in 1857.
Christened national youth rally, the 'Padayatra' is being organised
to symbolise the march of Sepoys who revolted against the British in
May 1857, said Shakeel Ahmed Khan, Director General of the Nehru
Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS), organiser of the rally.
Khan said another 20,000 youths will join the march at the Red
Fort.
A national youth action plan for the commemoration of 1857 was
prepared at a national workshop held on May 8-9 last year and the
NYKS was assigned the responsibility to carry out various programmes
under the plan, Khan added
Prisoners fired jail and did gun fire to be free to campaign in
Election
As
reported on March 30, 2007:
(1)
As talks with separatist and terrorists, now peace talk on the basis
of give and take is going on prisoners.
(2)
Several policemen were injured in a clash with prisoners in Meerut
Jail during a random search of their illegally holing mobiles, cash,
knives, CDs and some of these seized by the search police team of
Agra. Lathi charge and stone throwing incdident are reported.
(3)
“We have been receiving complaints regarding the use of mobile
phones inside the jail. We did a surprise check but we were
prevented from doing so by the inmates,” Inspector General (Meerut
Range), KND Diwedi said. The Superintendent of Police (City) had
also seized a mobile phone from inside the barrack of an inmate on
March 29.
(4)
Meerut jail has strength of about 2000 prisoners. Only one policeman
is deputed for 200 prisoners. Meeut jail is a heaven for Eastern
Uttar Pradesh criminal gangs as Pakistan is a heaven for terrorists.
(5)
Hidden auction is done for giving the duty to the prisoners by
adopting the policy of ‘Paisa fenk tamasha desh’.
(6)
Even leaders are keen to meet the jailed criminal gang leaders for
gaining their noble democractic services in the election.
(6)
There is a mutual agreement between Jail authority inclidding
minister and prisoners. Any one can meet any time any prisoner to
pay Rs 500. If prisoner wants desired food, then he has to pay Rs
500. If he want to enjoy luxurous life in jail then he has to pay
more.
(7)
Prisoners have objection in the searching as few leaders of minority
and congress raised fingers against the search of their followers.
After all all these are seen with great respect by the politicians.
Rahul Gandhi’s roadshow also started to highlight this angle.
(8)
Mulayam has shown his ‘mulayamee (softness)’ to free SIMI prisoners
for UP election. So other prisoners are feeling jelousy. Why is
racism in freeing from jail?
(9)
Prisoners tried to make themselves free from the walls of the Meerut
jail on gun point and to fire the jail premises. In hurry tey did
this. They receive urgent calls from the politicians of various
parties. Election is democratic secular gifted golden chance for
them to make crime freely booth capturing to kidnapping in the
election for getting every thing.
(10) "Two-three officers are injured in the melee. We came here on
the orders of the government. (But) Meerut Police told the inmates
that we are with you and the trouble started," he said.
(11) "The Jail Superintendent and Deputy Superintendent are
responsible for it to evoke prisoners against us," he said.
(12) Senior Superintendent of Police (Agra) Amrish Gaur, who was
part of the raiding pasrty, said the prisoners attacked the police
team when they tried to seize the illegal articles.
