The Delhi Police have busted a human trafficking network that sold newborns to rich families in the national capital and nearby cities. Three members of the gang were arrested in Delhi's Dwarka, the police said. The gang was active in Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR). A four-day-old newborn was also rescued, the police said, adding the mastermind of the gang is on the run and police teams are looking for her. The gang has sold over 30 children to rich families in Delhi-NCR so far, the police said. The gang members often kidnapped children from poor families from the Gujarat and Rajasthan border. The three arrested people have been identified as Yasmin, Anjali, and Jitendra. The police said the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) earlier arrested Anjali in another human trafficking case. She returned to the criminal world after coming out on bail, the police said. During the investigation, the Delhi Police team analysed the call detail records (CDR...
The Pakistan Cricket Board has narrowed down its search for a new head coach to former Australia and New Zealand wicketkeeper-batter Luke Ronchi. A PCB source said on Wednesday that "extensive discussions" had taken place with the 42-year-old Ronchi, who has also coached Pakistan Super League side Islamabad United. "With no high-profile coach showing interest in working for the PCB as most of them are already committed with different leagues or have reservations working in Pakistan cricket, the search has come down to Ronchi," the source said.
He said the contract with Ronchi should be finalised in the next few days before the home T20 series against New Zealand commences.
Ronchi, after taking retirement from professional cricket, has also worked with the New Zealand team as its batting consultant and coach.
The source added that the PCB team had contacted some well-known coaches but most of them were either already committed or reluctant to accept any assignment with the Pakistan board.
"Given the history of the PCB in dealing with foreign and local coaches, obviously one can understand the reservations of some foreign coaches," he said.
The source said that even Ronchi had not said yes as yet and had asked for an ironclad assurance that he would be given a proper time frame to work with the Pakistan team over a period of time no matter what the results are.
"He wants clear assurances that his performance will only be evaluated after a certain period of time, not after every series or event," the source said.
PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi had last week blamed the leakage of salary details and other aspects of a possible coaching contract with Shane Watson for the Australian to eventually back out of the discussion.
The PCB has already started its training camp at the Kakul army base in preparation for the T20 World Cup in June, starting with Pakistan's home series against New Zealand in April.
Ronchi is among those few players who have represented two countries in international cricket -- he appeared first for Australia and then for New Zealand. PTI Cor AM AM AM
