Delhi police busted a racket led by Sanjay Tiwari, who has worked as a journalist as well as PA to an MP. The gang blackmailed VIPs with "sting ops" and information.

Tiwari impersonated many, including the PS to a minister, to dupe people. He has 11 charges and at least 17 cases against him.

He claims to have run www.ujalanews.com and chaired NETV channel.

As part of a makeover in its Phase III, DMRC is upgrading its app to allow passengers more interactive facilities, including buying tokens and recharging their cards. However, a final date has not been announced yet.

Two men hailed a cab from Noida to Garhi Village in Gurugram, then took driver Sudip Singh at gunpoint and fled with the Swift DZire and Singh's phone.

The college had issued a notice prohibiting students from clicking selfies, combing hair and modeling in corridors. Students approached the Delhi Commission for Women over the rule.

Thousands of autos were challaned and impounded for illegal parking in 2016.
