Gurugram:

A 28-year-old man was beaten to death allegedly by his drug dealer and his sons over some issue here, police said on Saturday.

The deceased was identified as Raja Kumar, living in Bas Kushla village in the IMT Manesar area. He worked as a helper in a departmental store owned by Rahul Chauhan.

According to the complaint filed by Pintu Jha, the victim’s elder brother, Kumar was addicted to marijuana. On Friday morning, they both went to the accused Sanjay’s house in Kasan village to buy marijuana.

However, Sanjay and his two sons, Gaurav and Saurav, beat Kumar over some minor issue, Jha said.

Kumar then went to Chauhan and told him about the fight, Jha said.

On Friday evening, Chauhan took Raja to Sanjay’s residence again to talk about the fight and sort the issue, he said.

When Chauhan asked about the fight to Sanjay, he got angry. Sanjay and his sons dragged Raja into a room and beat him up, he added.

They then threw him out of the house in a critical condition, Jha said in his complaint.

Chauhan rushed Raja to a hospital, where the doctors declared him dead on arrival, Jha said.

Based on Jha’s complaint, an FIR was registered against Sanjay, Gaurav and Saurav under sections 302 (murder) 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code at the Bilaspur police station on Saturday, police said.

The accused are currently absconding but will be arrested soon, a senior police officer said.

A reckless chase involving a drug dealer throwing a fortune in heroin out his window ended with an arrest at Manchester Airport, according to The Metro.

Neil Corrigan, 42, disregarded police attempts to pull him over near Warrington. Instead, he led them on a dangerous high-speed chase on the M56, weaving through traffic and even driving the wrong way around a roundabout.

In a desperate attempt to ditch evidence, Corrigan tossed a large black bag from his van, littering the tarmac with what turned out to be 2kg of heroin worth a staggering 285,000 pounds (Rs 2,9820711).

The chase culminated at Manchester Airport, where Corrigan reached a dead end after crashing through a parking barrier. He attempted to escape on foot, but a pursuing officer apprehended him.

Corrigan has pleaded guilty to drug offences, dangerous driving, failing to stop, and driving without insurance. He was sentenced to five years in prison and a driving ban exceeding five years.

Authorities praised the operation, highlighting the removal of a significant amount of illegal drugs from the streets.

Chief Inspector John Forshaw told The Metro after sentencing: “This is another fantastic result that has led to the removal of a large quantity of illegal drugs from the streets of Cheshire and further afield. The manner of Corrigan’s driving was extremely dangerous, showing no regard for the safety of innocent members of the public as part of his failed attempt to flee officers.”

“Thankfully, we were able to bring the pursuit to a safe conclusion, and Corrigan is now being held accountable for his actions.”
