TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: A 42-year-old Kashmiri woman was caught on camera stealing the bag of a US national from Dilli Haat on January 27. Shamima has been arrested.
According to police, US national Amanda C Boxtel, who has been staying in Green Park for the past few days, had gone to Dilli Hatt on Sunday with her friends for shopping. ‘‘She was moving around the premises on her wheelchair. After an hour, she found her bag, containing valuables like travel document, missing’’ said a senior police officer. Amanda lodged a police complaint with the Sarojini Nagar police station after which a case was registered.
The police scrutinised the CCTV recordings and zeroed in on a woman. ‘‘The recording showed the woman dragging Amanda’s bag, quietly picking it up and leaving with it,’’ said DCP (south west) Shalini Singh. The recordings were shown to the shopkeepers and security guards, who identified her and said that she comes mostly on Sundays.
On February 3, when Shamima again came to Dilli Haat, a guard alerted the police after which she was detained. The police recovered cash from her. However, she had thrown away the cards and travel document of Amanda.
On interrogation, she broke down and confessed to the crime. She told police that she was doing this because she needed money for her ill mother. She also told police that she used to visit the market on Sunday as it was easy for her to target unsuspecting visitors in the crowd.
The police said that Shamima is a native of Kashmir but was staying with her mother and two daughters in Pahargang for the past two decades. Her husband is a shawl vendor in Kashmir. The cops added that Shamima might be involved in some other cases of bag lifting, which are being verified. When contacted by this correspondent, Amanda refused to comment.

Traffic related accidents are due rapid development and increasing vehicles.
India is the largest country in the South Asian region. The problem of traffic related accidents is being faced due rapid development and rapidly increase in number of vehicles. In spite of a number of accidents, limited data and literature is available on road traffic, accidents, injuries and deaths.
There is an urgent need to estimate the magnitude of the problem. The management instituts can research on this proble by using published literature, data available with police department, insurance companies, news paper reports and electronic databases and hand-searching of the published articles.
The Road traffic injuries are a significant burden on our health care system. The most commonly affected group is young males, pedestrians and encroachers. There is high mortality in most cases.
Conclusions: There is lack of population-based data on road traffic injuries in India and there is large heterogeneity in the published data. This is an important research agenda for the country. Immediate steps are required to curb this problem to limit the loss of life and resources.
