April 25, 2013

Samajwadi_PartyGreater Noida, Apr 25: Around eight armed men entered the Greater Noida home of a Samajwadi Party national executive member and shot him dead on Wednesday, a day when the politician's two security guards were on leave.

The victim, Chaman Bhati, was walking in his garden in Dabra village around 6pm when the attackers, who came in a Scorpio, scaled the wall and shot him five times, police said.

The property businessman-turned-politician died on the spot.

"The assailants came in a Scorpio car, scaled the residence walls and opened fire on him. They managed to flee with Bhati and his gunner's carbine and licenced pistols," said a senior police official. Tension erupted after the incident as angry locals did not allow the police to take his body for post mortem examination till late on Wednesday

IG (Meerut range) Bhavesh Kumar Singh said that police have lodged an FIR. "Gautambudh Nagar SSP has been deployed at the scene and case is being investigated," Singh said.

On hearing shots being fired, Bhati's family members and locals reached the scene and found him in a pool of blood. When Gautam Budh Nagar SP (rural) reached the spot, agitated locals demanded the immediate arrested of the culprits.

Police sources said several attempts were made on Bhati's life in the last 10 years. Family sources said 10 months ago, unidentified assailants had attacked him. "The criminals had then come to kill him but by mistake opened fire on his brother-in-law, Pankaj," an official said. In view of danger to his life,Bhati had been provided with two gunners. Both were on leave on Wednesday.

New Delhi, Jan 11: Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Friday said that he has never seen innocents like the Indian people, who believe the claims made by the government on the implementation of its programmes. The former Union Minister, addressing a literary event, said, "I have never seen innocents like the Indian people. If something appears on print (and named two newspapers also), we believe it. We believe anything."

Claims like all villages having been electrified in the country and toilets built for 99 per cent of families in India were being believed, he said.

Similar was the case of the Ayushman Bharat scheme, (Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana or PM-JAY is a flagship health care scheme of the Centre), he alleged.

Stating that his Delhi-based driver's father had to get a surgery done under the scheme, he said, however, it could not be performed.

"I asked him (car driver) if he had the Ayushman card and he showed a card and I told him to take it (to hospital). In hospital after hospital, they said they were not aware of anything like that (Ayushman scheme). But we believe that the Ayushman scheme has come to the whole of India," he said.

Further, he said "we believe that for any disease, treatment will be done (indicating the Ayushman scheme) without shelling out money. We are being innocents."

Many news items and data were contrary to the truth, he added.
