Soon, the CBI team raided the DIG's house on the CRPF campus here. Sources said a number of incriminating documents and unaccounted for cash was recovered from the DIG's house. Vinod Sharma was present during the search operation. He was detained but not taken into custody.

Operation drug

The city police have launched an operation to detect possible heroin peddling in the city. This is following the haul of heroin by the Customs on Friday night. The officers had seized 2.5 kg of heroin estimated at Rs8 crore from a Nigerian and his partner, a girl from Imphal.

"Until now, we had no information about heroin and cocaine making the rounds in the narcotic distribution circles within the city. We have been asked to look out for any possible peddlers in these narcotics by our seniors," assistant commissioner of police Omkariah (Women and Narcotics Squad) of Central Crime Branch of the city police, said.

She is accused of submitting false caste records and educational certificates

Bowing to opposition demand in the legislative council, the state government, on Wednesday, sacked Dr S Malini, assistant director of the Forensic Science Laboratory here, on charges of submitting fake documents that furnished wrong information about her caste, and educational qualification for joining the service.

Janata Dal (Seculer) leader MC Nanaiah, who raised the issue in the council, demanded the government to immediately sack Dr Malini from service.

He stated that Malini had not only submitted false caste records, but also fake certificates of educational qualification, including SSLC marks card.

Within a fortnight of the city police deciding to have a system of community policing with the active participation of residents, the Rajajinagar police are already on the roll to prove that they can deliver.

A list of 60 special officers has already been submitted to the police commissioner's office for clearance.
