Motorcycle stolen

Sonepat
A motorcycle was allegedly stolen by two unidentified youths from the old foodgrain market at Ganaur last night. According to a report, the motorcycle was parked outside a house when it was stolen. The owner alleged that there was no electricity at that time and hence he could not see the culprits.

SDO staff assaulted

At least seven unidentified armed youths forced their way into a sub-divisional office and assaulted an employee, Jitender, with lathis and injured him before they managed to escape at Gohana town, 35 km from here, yesterday. According to a report, a large number of people, including women, assembled at the site and they pelted stones and bricks on the alleged assailants who immediately fled. The injured employee was immediately hospitalised. He is stated to be out of danger. The injured youth has informed the police about the incident but no case has been registered so far.
