February 22nd, 2012 - 11:07 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Feb 22 (IANS) The Delhi High Court Wednesday sought a status report from police on an alleged attack on a Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) engineer by unidentified people in central Delhi earlier this month.
Taking suo moto cognizance of media report, a division bench of Acting Chief Justice A.K. Sikri and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw directed the police commissioner to file the report by March 24.
Executive Engineer Ansar Alam, 50, who was pressing for stricter action against illegal constructions was allegedly attacked by unidentified men near Rajghat Feb 9.
“Ansar Alam, the 50-year-old victim who is in the ICU of a Daryaganj hospital with 25 stitches on his head and multiple fractures in his right leg - appeared to be a chilling message from the Walled City’s builder mafia, whom the official had taken on after being drafted in the City zone to curb rampant illegal construction,” according to a national daily report.
