Former top cop held for forging documents

>From Indo-Asian News Service

New Delhi, May 20 (IANS) A former top police officer, who was once in charge
of VIP security, is in the police net for allegedly forging documents to
obtain property worth Rs.18 million.

Retired joint commissioner of police Y.R. Dhuria, 60, who headed the
security branch of Delhi Police, had been eluding arrest since last month
when his wife was sent to Tihar jail.

But he was arrested Sunday from the Ghaziabad town adjoining Delhi.

Soon after his arrest, Dhuria complained of chest pain and was admitted to
the Metro Hospital in Noida. He is under doctors' observation.

"We have arrested him and if doctors say he is in a stable condition we will
send him to jail," Assistant Commissioner of Police L.N. Rao told IANS.

Investigations have been on since last year when Dhuria was still in the
police force. "We moved against him after we collected enough evidence. His
being in a senior position will not stop us from prosecuting him."

Rao said he was trying to obtain land illegally.

Delhi Police Commissioner Ajai Raj Sharma, who is of the same batch of
Indian Police Service of 1966 as Dhuria, took on the investigations himself
as it involved a senior ranking officer.

The noose tightened after Dhuria's guards, who were posted under him when he
was the home guard chief, were arrested.

The two home guards, Shivraj Singh and Chattarpal, were arrested last year
after three men lodged a complaint of cheating at the Kanjhawla police
station in northwest Delhi.

Police said Dhuria had allegedly prepared a general power of attorney
according to which Shivraj Singh's wife had acquired the eight-acre land
from the complainants, even though there was no exchange of money.

The acquisition papers were later sold to Dhuria's wife Kamala for Rs.45
million. The complainants alleged the general power attorney was a fake
document and a case was registered last year.

Police on arrested Dhuria's wife Kamala April 11 and since then the former
official had been eluding the police.

Officials said when Dhuria heard that the police was hunting for him armed
with an arrest warrant he got himself admitted at the Metro Hospital for
heart trouble.

Officials caught him at a cinema hall in Ghaziabad where he had come to meet
someone after taking permission from doctors to step out of the hospital for
a few hours.

"We got information and arrested him from the spot."
