Rajnath Singh

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday appreciated the Delhi Police for nabbing Junaid, wanted in several terror cases but at large for over a decade, and also stressed the need for using the latest technology for crime detection.

Junaid, held by the Delhi Police's Special Cell from Banbasa on the India-Nepal border in Uttarakhand, was among the people present at the Batla House flat where a gunfight between Indian Mujahideen terrorists and police took place in 2008 but had succeeded in escaping. Addressing the 71st Raising Day Parade of Delhi Police here, Rajnath Singh also announced a contribution of Rs 5 crore by the Union Home Ministry towards the Delhi Police Martyrs Fund. Generally, the corpus is funded by the Delhi Police personnel by contributing a day's salary once a year.
