New Delhi, Oct 25: Delhi Police has arrested a 19-year-old associate of gangster Himanshu Bhau in connection with the murder of a man at Burger King in Rajouri Garden area of west Delhi, an officer on Friday said.

Annu Dhankar, who police referred to as 'Lady Don', was nabbed near the Indo-Nepal border in Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh.

Dhankar, a proclaimed offender, had been evading arrest since the murder that took place on June 18 at a fast food joint.

"Dhankar is a resident of Rohtak, Haryana, and she was involved in the murder of one Aman at Burger King restaurant," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Amit Kaushik said.

On June 18, around 9.30 pm, three men arrived at the outlet in Rajouri Garden on a bike. One of them remained outside, while two went inside and fired around 20-25 rounds of bullets at Aman, who was sitting with a woman inside, from close range. The man died on the spot.

During investigation, Annu Dhankar emerged as woman who had lured Aman through social Media to be friends with her and was sitting with him at the eatery when he was shot dead.

"On October 24, the team received input about Annu Dhankar near the Indo-Nepal border at Lakhimpur Kheri, UP. She was traced and apprehended there," the DCP said.

During interrogation, she revealed that she was friends with Himanshu Bhau and Sahil Ritolia who promised her a visa and other documents at their expense to immigrate to the USA where she would lead a lavish life, the officer said.

Her name also cropped up in the incident of indiscriminate firing at Matu Ram Halwai Shop in Gohana, he said. "Later, under the instructions of Bhau, she lured Aman."

On June 18, Dhankar relayed the information to Himanshu Bhau that Aman was coming to meet her at Burger King.

After his murder, she returned to her Mukherji Nagar PG and collected her belongings. Then, from ISBT Kashmiri Gate, she took a bus to Chandigarh and later went to Katra via Amritsar.

"She stayed at a guest house in Katra. Bhau asked her to vacate the guest house. She then went to Jalandhar by train and further went to Haridwar by bus via Chandigarh. She stayed in Haridwar for 3-4 days and then went to Kota," Kaushik said.

According to her, Bhau sent her money through a money exchange shop all along.

"On October 22, she was told by Bhau that the matter had cooled down and instructed her to vacate the PG. He further told her that she could go to the USA via Dubai," the officer said.

She was asked to come to Lakhimpur Kheri for a crossover to Nepal, but was nabbed.

Bhopal, Nov 25: High drama was witnessed at Rani Kamalapati railway station in Bhopal after the Vande Bharat Express for Hazrat Nizamuddin in Delhi was delayed on Monday by nearly 11 hours due to a technical snag, officials and eyewitnesses said.

Before the premium train, which otherwise departs from Rani Kamalapati station at 5.40 am, left for its destination in the evening, angry passengers staged a protest on railway tracks alleging they had not been intimated about the delay.

As a result of the delay, the Vande Bharat Express (20172) from Hazrat Nizamuddin to Rani Kamalapati station was cancelled on Monday evening. Similarly, the Vande Bharat Express (20171) from Kamalapati to Nizamuddin stands cancelled on Tuesday, Jabalpur-based West Central Railway (WCR) Chief Public Relation Officer Harshit Shrivastava told PTI when contacted over phone.

The semi-high speed train left for its destination in the evening instead of its scheduled time in the morning, WCR's Acting Public Relation Officer (Bhopal Division) Naval Agrawal confirmed to PTI.

Agrawal, however, maintained he does not know the exact departure time, but eyewitnesses said the train left for Hazrat Nizamuddin at around 4.30 pm, nearly 11 hours late.

The train was delayed due to technical reasons, he said, adding passengers were kept in the loop via different mediums, including train-related apps, about the delay.

Many passengers boarded the Vande Bharat Express (20171) headed to Nizamuddin, he said.

The Railways did not cancel the train on Monday keeping the interest of passengers in mind, the acting PRO emphasised.

Agrawal said the rail yard at Rani Kamalapati station (formerly Habibganj) was well equipped and has the expertise to repair and do maintenance work of the new-age Vande Bharat trains.

According to eyewitnesses, passengers who turned up at Rani Kamalapati station protested after the train did not depart for Hazrat Nizamuddin at its scheduled time of 5.40 am.

Some of the passengers, after a long wait, tried to entered the Shatabdi Express (which goes to New Delhi) at around 3.10 pm, but were pushed back by Railway Protection Force personnel, they said.

A group of angry passengers with backpacks then squatted on the tracks in protest, the eyewitnesses added.

The Vanda Bharat Express (20172), upon returning from Hazrat Nizamuddin to Rani Kamlaapati station at around 10.20 pm on Sunday, suffered a technical malfunction as a spring of C11 coach went kaput, sources said.

The train was taken to the yard for repair, but the snag could not be fixed in time, thus delaying its early morning departure, they explained.
