A jailed gangster who audaciously checked into a government guest house with the connivance of policemen and was javascript:void(0)having a good time has been caught in the act. Gangster Ateeq Khan is headed back to prison while four guilty policemen have been suspended.
Charged with murders, abductions and other heinous crimes, Khan was brought from Uttar Pradesh’s Siddhartnagar district jail to Kanpur Dec 17 to attend a court case.

Later, instead of going back to prison, Khan quietly moved into the railway guest house in Lucknow with the connivance of the policemen, said police officials.

There, Khan and the policemen, joined by the former’s associates, every day enjoyed the “best of food and luxuries”, Additional Director General of Police Brij Lal told reporters here.

The guest house belonged to the North-Eastern Railway and was located in the Charbagh locality, near the Lucknow railway station.

Someone decided to expose the farce by tipping off the authorities.

On Monday, the Special Task Force (STF) raided the guest house and nabbed the notorious gangster, his accomplices and the policemen.

An inspector and three constables have been suspended. Criminal proceedings have also been initiated against those caught at the guest house.

Asked if railway officials too were involved in the scam, Lal said: “It needs to be probed.”

In an example of Gandhigiri, a man fed sandesh and rosogollas to two petty thieves who were caught red-handed while stealing valuable items from his house at Kamardanga village in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district.

The two teenage thieves, Bablu Mistry and Tapas Das, had sneaked into Jayanta Gutpa's house by breaking open a rear window Monday. Gupta was away in Kolkata where he works at the NSC Bose International Airport.

As the duo got busy picking up utensils, watches, clothes and electronic items from the house, their movements alerted neighbour Renuka Pal who was bathing in the pond in the rear of the house.

Pal gathered the villagers and caught the two thieves with the booty. The villagers beat the two miscreants black and blue and tied them up before informing Gupta.

But the situation changed when Gupta rushed home from Kolkata Monday evening.

'I felt very sympathetic to them because of their age. And they claimed that it was their first crime, which they had committed because they do not get two square meals a day,' Gupta said.

He untied the teenagers and treated them to sandesh, rosogolla, banana and bread before setting them free.

'But before that, I also told them about the perils of going the wrong way. They listened to me intently,' he said.
