Truth drug for house of horror
The gruesome tale of India’s “house of horrors”, a serial murder case that has transfixed the nation for a week, took an intriguing twist yesterday when forensic scientists investigating the killing of at least 17 people in an upmarket Delhi suburb prepared to apply truth serum to the two prime suspects.

The decision came as further grim evidence emerged from the Noida bungalow where the bodies of women and children were discovered last month stuffed into rank-smelling storm drains The bodies were sliced up in such a clinical fashion that police have refused to rule out the possibi... Read more

Delhi: Police inspector commit

Delhi Police inspector has committed suicide alleging that he was being harassed and intimidated by police chief KK Paul.

Inspector Devendra Manchanda's family is devastated. Thursday had begun like any other ordinary day, but no one in the family knew that it would end in tragedy.

Suspended in 2004 on charges of corruption Inspector Manchanda took his own life on Thursday.

Family helpless

His wife is suffering from cancer and the family is now helpless. The family blames the police system for their fate.

"The commissioner has scrapped the FIR, what was legal has become illegal and what was illegal is now legal," said Puja, Devendra's daughter.

Inspector Devendra, posted at the Kashmiri Gate police station, had filed an FIR in what he stated was a land scam in 2004. But soon after he did so, he came under extreme pressure to withdraw the FIR.

When he refused to buckle under this pressure that was allegedly coming from senior police officials, including Delhi Police Commissioner KK Paul, he was suspended.

Waiting for justice

In the next two years, while Inspector Devendra was on suspension, he appealed to the Delhi High Court and even the Human Rights Commission for justice, but there was none coming.

Thereafter, on Thursday, he committed suicide. Such was his frustration with the system that in his suicide note Inspector Devendra made a reference to KK Paul no less than 15 times.

And now with the Inspector Devendra dead, his family's hopes of justice are even dimmer.
