  1. At this time it is does not seem clear about the origin of the stash of cash. I would like to ask the reporter of this news whether he/she has ascertained the fact that the three of people arrested were really Tibetans. No Tibetans have their surname as Thapa or Lama, and if you are trying to quote Lama from the Dalai Lama, it is the title rather than the name here, that’s why it starts with the word ‘the’.   

  2. The bank manager D.K. Dhar and K.P. Bhardwaj were charged under sec 417, 420, 468, 171 and 120(b) of IPC. Justice Dev Darshan Sood granted bail to bank manager D K Dhar and local businessman K P Bhardwaj from whose car Rs 1 crore was recovered on January 26 at Mehatpur barrier in Una. Justice DD Sood agreed to the
    petitioners bail pleas stating that mere possession of money was no offence and other allegations which had been levelled were only in the domain of suspicion and not on established facts on record.
    I really surprised that how the Una police could kept D. K Dhar in their custody for 28 0r 30 days marely on the basis of suspicion?
