Delhi cops caught drinking with 'killer'

Varun Kumar, constable, has been suspended after this photo, showing him drunk at the shop of a murder accused, was given to policeNEW DELHI: The image of the Delhi Police took another hit when three of its cops were allegedly found drinking with a murder accused inside a shop owned by him. The accused, a property dealer who allegedly shot dead another dealer last Friday, was supposed to be behind bars after having surrendered before police on Sunday.
The embarrassing incident comes barely two days after two Delhi policemen were alleged to have kidnapped three Rohtak businessmen for ransom.
One of the cops from the Rohini police station in northwest Delhi has been suspended after family members of the murder victim took pictures of him lying drunk inside the shop of the accused on Tuesday night after his colleagues had fled.
On May 30, a 23-year-old property dealer, Bhagat Raj, was shot dead allegedly by his friend, Rohit Singh (25), inside Singh's shop, Rohit Associates, in Rohini. Bhagat had gone to the shop to collect the papers of a property that he had purchased in Panchkula for Rs 2 crore about two years ago. Rohit and his father, Mahendra Singh, reportedly fled in their Mercedes after the murder. Bhagat was taken to a nearby hospital by his cousins, who had been waiting outside the shop; he later died. A case of murder was registered against both Rohit and his father at the Rohini police station and investigations were under way. On Sunday, June 1, Rohit and Mahendra surrendered and were immediately arrested.
