Q: Regular expression to get cells content with link or not I'm returning the content of an HTML file which looks like this :
<irrelevant things>

      Content

<irrelevant things again>

or :
<irrelevant things>

      Content

<irrelevant things again>

Is it possible to get only "Content" for both cases with only one regular expression ?
I tried this but without any result :
preg_match('/
()?([^<]*)/', $html, $mycontent);

Thanks

A: Regex is not the best way for this, and since you have an id ("myid"), you can do it easily with DOMDocument. Example:
$doc = new DOMDocument();
@$doc->loadHTML($yourstring);

$node = $doc->getElementById('myid');

echo trim($node->textContent);

A: Here's a way to do it with regex:
(?:)?([^<]+)

DEMO
But, it would be easier to do with DOM parsers like PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser


There has finally been some progress in the Russia investigation, starting with the arrest of lawyer Alex Van der Zwann.
The Russian investigation took an interesting turn on Tuesday, April 3 when Dutch lawyer Alex van der Zwaan was sentenced to 30 days in prison in addition to a 20,000 dollar fine. The reasoning for the sentence was that he lied to federal investigators when he was questioned about his contact with senior Trump campaign official, Rick Gates. This is the first official sentence in the Mueller investigation which seeks to discover if there was any Russian meddling or collusion with the Trump campaign in the 2016 election.
This sentence might be the first of many, setting a precedent for others involved in the scandal. This certainly seems to be what the District Judge Amy Berman Jackson was going for when she denied Van der Zwaan's attorneys attempts to keep him out of jail, despite his lawyers stating that he had made a "terrible decision" and that he needed to get home to his pregnant wife. Unfortunately for Van der Zwann, Jackson was not buying it, stating that his expressions of remorse "were somewhat muted, to say the least." In addition to his sentencing, Van der Zwann can possibly have his license to practice law in England, where he lives, revoked.
There are currently four others with criminal charges from the Mueller. All four defendants have agreed to cooperate in the investigation and, as a result, have had their sentencing stayed for the moment — explaining why Van der Zwaan was charged early. Paul Manafort, another defendant, was also in the news recently because of a case involving money laundering, bank fraud, and tax evasion — can't get enough of the spotlight, huh? Manafort had asked Judge Berman Jackson to dismiss the charges, since Mueller didn't have the power to investigate his profitable lobbying work in the Ukraine. However, Mueller rejected that argument on Monday night by introducing a memo from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein which stated that that he was "authorized to probe allegations of improper payments related to Manafort's work." All of these individuals, in addition to the 13 Russians and three Russian entities, were also charged.
This certainly marks a change in the pace of the Russian investigation, which has so far only resulted in the indictment of individuals without any actual arrests, given their cooperation. While it is currently unknown if there any other big profile arrests are coming soon, only time will tell if Manafort will face jail. However, one this is certain: this a very dark omen to the rich lawyers who might have been hoping for easy sentences.

RFDS buys Pilatus PC-24 for Adelaide-based Central Operations
written by Chris Milne March 4, 2015
The Pilatus PC-24 at the roll out ceremony on August 1 2014. (Pilatus)
The Adelaide-based Central Operations of the Royal Flying Doctor Service has ordered a $10 million Pilatus PC-24 twin-jet for rapid medical evacuations and hospital transfers.
The aircraft, due for delivery in 2017-18 and the first in RFDS service in Australia, will halve flying times on the organisation's main routes, including Alice Springs-Adelaide.
The jet has a top speed of 787 km/h and a range of 3,610km.
The RFDS has also taken an option on a second PC-24 for potential delivery in 2018-19.
The deal was foreshadowed to Australian Aviation by the chief executive of Central Operations John Lynch in February.
It will join the present fleet of turboprop PC-12s operated in South Australia and the Northern Territory by the RFDS.
In announcing the decision to buy the twin-jet, Mr Lynch said the aircraft, apart from reducing the flying time for long-haul patients, would be capable of transferring three patients in stretchers, together with medical staff, from Adelaide to any capital city in Australia without refuelling.
It would be on stand-by to transfer emergency patients from Adelaide to interstate hospitals for life-saving emergency surgery, such as cardiac and organ-transplant operations.
The Pilatus PC-24 also would enable faster response to any major, mass-casualty disaster.
Within South Australia, it would be able to reach any centre within 90 minutes, and remote industrial sites as the Moomba oil and gas fields in the Cooper Basin, within 60 minutes.
It was designed to operate from paved and dirt airstrips, with a single pilot.
The RFDS planned to have the PC-24 on standby 24 hours a day every day, under its State emergency medical retrieval and hospital transfer contract with the South Australian Government – a contract which underwrote the recent decision to build a new $13 million aeromedical base at Adelaide Airport.
The twin-jet will be funded under the present RFDS capital program.
A full-scale fuselage and cabin mock-up of the PC-24 'super versatile jet' (SVJ) was on display at the recently concluded Avalon Airshow.

Q: setViewControllers vs removeFromParentViewController We are building a journey where we need a View Controller to remove the Controller that came before it in the stack.
When we land on that View Controller it will be the 3rd controller in the stack and we need it to remove the Controller that is second (i.e. the Controller that is at index 1).
In ViewDidLoad we tried doing this by getting the current array of View Controllers from the Navigation Controller, removing the Controller at index 1 and then calling SetViewControllers. However when the back button is pressed we end up going back to the View Controller that was supposed to be removed.
If instead we call removeFromParentViewController on the View Controller to be removed then we get the behaviour we expected.
What are the differences between these two approaches? What would cause a View Controller to remain in the stack despite it not being in the array passed to SetViewControllers?

This Saturday will mark the 237th Marine Corps Birthday. In honor of this, the Commandant has released a video documenting Corps achievements and honoring its spirit of selflessness. Happy Birthday, and Semper Fidelis!
This Sunday, November 11, is Veterans Day. Read the thoughts of one Marine Parent here.
Today is the day that Purple Heart Hero Support Volunteers in Southern California will take Wounded Heroes and their families for a day at Knott's Berry Farm. This trip provides a break for these troops during their difficult recoveries. Read more about this campaign in this issue.
In addition to their role in combat, the USMC also performs relief missions in every corner of the world. Usually these missions happen in regions like Haiti or Africa, but last week, the Marines were called on to provide assistance here at home.
We also have information on the Commandant's Reading List, which every Marine should know about. And we offer an idea about how you can add some fun to your Thanksgiving and help support our troops at the same time.
Happy Birthday and Semper Fidelis. The Commandant's message in honor of the Marine Corps 237th Birthday pays respect to those willing to give everything for their country. The Commandant and Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps have made a video that celebrates the accomplishments, past and present, of the USMC.
Today is the day. Marine Parents is taking over 300 people, all injured troops and their family members, to Knott's Berry Farm. Buses from Wounded Warrior Battalion/Detachments in Camp Pendleton, Balboa,and Twentynine Palms were scheduled to rendezvous in the Knott's parking lot at 0900. In the most recent update, we find Brian, USMCR, enjoying the day with three PHHS volunteers.
We would all like to say thank you to all the individuals who helped make this event a reality.
Helmand. Mogadishu. Port-Au-Prince. Kuwait City. Staten Island?
We are used to hearing about the USMC providing whatever is needed in many far-flung regions of the world. But after Hurricane Sandy came ashore on the Eastern Seaboard last week, The Marine's mission was carried out here at home.
Have you ever noticed feeling dull and sluggish after consuming a large Thanksgiving meal? We at Team Marine Parents have a way for you to fight back, and help our fighting men and women at the same time.
In most cities across the USA, people gather on Thanksgiving morning to balance the coming caloric storm with a "Turkey Trot". The distance is usually 5K, or about 3 miles. Wherever you are, we want you to seek out your local Turkey Trot and sign yourself up. If you wind up doing a "Turkey Walk", that's just fine. It's a great way to start your Thanksgiving morning.
Email TMP@marineparents.com with your name, the event you will participate in, and a photo if you wish, and we'll assemble a national team to support the Marine Parents cause.
Military personnel (current or past conflicts) and their families who are interested in knowing more about issues related to combat recovery are encouraged to participate in the chat. Please forward this email to folks you know who should attend. Your participation could make a difference in the life of someone you love.

Last week was also National Poison Prevention Week, so this week we gave you tips and info on protecting your family.
The most important thing is to keep the Poison Control Center number handy. Call 1-800-222-1222 if the poisoned person is still awake and alert. Otherwise, call 911.
Prescription drug overdose is one of the main causes of poisoning. Make sure you store them and other toxic products, like household cleaners securely and out-of-reach of children.
Always make sure you read all the labels and warnings, especially when giving medicine to kids, pregnant women, and the elderly.
If you don't need it, make sure you dispose of old and expired drugs properly. Follow these federal guidelines.
Always keep household cleaners and products in their original containers. Never store them or beauty products in any type of food container.
Never mix household cleaners. For example, mixing bleach and ammonia makes a poison gas.
Always wear protective coverings, like gloves, long sleeves, and pants when using household cleaners and lawn chemicals.


An creative Non Profit Organisation bringing Art and Environmental Education to schools and communities. We do workshops, carnivals, art exhibitions and courses.And most of all we bring the culture & joy of creativity ALIVE through exciting activities.
Yizwa is pulling up it's socks and changing direction in 2011. Working from Nottingham Rd just became too complicated and it seems that Mpophomeni is the place for us. With the addition of Ntombenhle Mtambo to the team it sems we have the drive to delve into much more needy territory and make a difference.
We are currently writing up a proposal to transform a piece of wasteland in the middle of the township into a thriving permaculture garden and pop in spot so have lots of work ahead of us!
The municipality are happy for us to use the land as it benefits the community. Ntombenhle lives around the corner on the greenest street in the area and her neighbours are keen to volunteer and support this project.
From our wellies to yours.
Yizwa EcoArt Creative Team is gearing up for some events- Dalton Private Nature Reserve is opening it's gates to the public for the first time in on Eco Saturday 17 April 2010 in aid of it's early Childhood Development programme and Yizwa will be there in force running an educators training session and generally adding fun and frolicks to the proceeedings.
On the 5 June Yizwa will be putting on The Big Green Day at Nottingham Road Combined School. Schools from around the Meander will be invited and there will be stands, art happenings and creative environmental shows in the grounds of this school to inspire and enthuse.
Juggling children, yoga, food gardening, fingerpuppets, natural science lessons and endless proposals the Yizwa Creative Goddesses found inspiration in some delicious artworks and photo stuffs from Bomobob on Etsy.
A little update from the Yizwa Front. The great and worthy office staff (that's Tasha & I in pyjamas with laptops)have been steadily tapping away sending proposals and bugging worthy folk for support. In between this I drove up the pot-holed and gravelly roads with stupendous views of the Drakensberg to the Dalton Education Trust Centre to meet with community members and help in the design of a permaculture garden. This garden will feed the local pre-school children who come to the centre from miles around to do motor-neuron skills training. What a glorious place, on the bend of a rushing river with a big iron bridge arching across the span and Nguni cattle wandering through the masses of Red Hot Pokers in full flower.
The first Hip Hop class started on Feb 6 at Yizwa Centre. It was a blast and the children had a brilliant time. The Yizwa crew slaved for hours decorating the movement room with delicious sari's and then collapsed in a heap as energetic jane the Hip Hop Queen took control..
This picture was taken during the Big Green Day in June of last year when we brought 11 schools together to do environmental learning & share ideas. It was a blast!

Qua la zampa! (A Dog's Purpose) è un film del 2017 diretto da Lasse Hallström. Basato sul romanzo di W. Bruce Cameron Dalla parte di Bailey (A Dog's Purpose), la storia è raccontata dal punto di vista di Bailey, un golden retriever affascinato dal rapporto fra uomo e cane che nell'arco di cinque decenni, e diverse reincarnazioni, cerca il senso della vita.

È uscito nelle sale per la Universal Pictures il 27 gennaio 2017 e ha incassato oltre $ 205 milioni in tutto il mondo.

Trama
Nella seconda metà del Novecento e nei primi anni Duemila, un cane si reincarna per vivere numerose storie e spiegare il rapporto con i padroni, il lavoro, l'amicizia e il destino.

Negli anni 50 un cucciolo meticcio si chiede quale sia il vero scopo della sua vita. Settimane dopo, mentre gioca con i suoi fratelli, il cucciolo viene catturato dagli accalappiacani e soppresso.

Lo spirito del cane si reincarna in un cucciolo appena nato di Red Retriever nel 1961; scappando dall'allevamento in cui si trovava, viene trovato da due spazzini che lo raccolgono con l'intento di rivenderlo, per poi lasciarlo nel loro camioncino mentre vanno a bere. L'animale ha un colpo di calore ma viene notato e salvato da una madre con il figlio di otto anni, Ethan Montgomery, che decidono di portarlo a casa adottandolo con il nome di Bailey.

Ethan e Bailey legano rapidamente, con il cane che si convince che lo scopo della sua vita è il padroncino; la loro amicizia si rafforza nel corso degli anni, mentre il padre di Ethan finisce preda dell'alcolismo dopo diversi insuccessi nel lavoro. Grazie a Bailey, Ethan, ormai diventato tardo adolescente, fa la conoscenza della coetanea Hannah con cui inizia una relazione; nel frattempo, il ragazzo ottiene numerosi successi scolastici grazie al football e caccia di casa il padre dopo una sua ennesima sfuriata ubriaca ai danni suoi e della madre. Ethan riceve una borsa di studio ma, quella notte, un compagno di nome Todd getta un petardo nella sua casa per vendicarsi di un'umiliazione subita precedentemente da parte del ragazzo per averlo preso in giro per il padre alcolizzato spinto dalla gelosia per il successo nel football. Il petardo finisce per dare fuoco alla casa e Bailey riesce a svegliare Ethan, che accorre a salvare la madre. Con l'aiuto dei vicini, la donna e Bailey vengono calati in giardino dal piano superiore, mentre Ethan si frattura gravemente una gamba. Nonostante l'intervento di Bailey permetta alla polizia di arrestare Todd, la ferita di Ethan lo costringe a rinunciare alla borsa di studio atletica e ripiegare su una scuola agricola da cui prenderà in gestione la fattoria dei suoi nonni. L'episodio getta Ethan nella depressione, tanto da rompere i suoi rapporti con Hannah; Bailey viene accudito dai nonni del ragazzo mentre si trova al college, ma la sua salute si deteriora finché il veterinario è costretto a porre fine alle sue sofferenze sotto osservazione di Ethan, diventato un giovane adulto.

Lo spirito del cane si reincarna nuovamente in un cucciolo femmina di pastore tedesco a cui viene dato il nome di Ellie, addestrata come cane poliziotto tra gli anni 70 e 80. Ellie fa coppia con Carlos Ruiz, un poliziotto vedovo e solitario del Dipartimento di Polizia di Chicago e, pur conservando i ricordi delle sue vite passate, è ora convinta che il lavoro sia lo scopo della sua vita. L'uomo e animale finiscono per stringere un profondo legame che finisce quando Ellie salva una ragazza rapita dall'annegamento e subito dopo protegge il suo partner dal rapitore, venendo ferita mortalmente. A Carlos non resta che assistere in lacrime alla morte della compagna tra le sue braccia.

Si reincarna nuovamente a metà degli anni 80 come un cucciolo di Pembroke Welsh Corgi, legandosi a una studentessa universitaria di nome Maya che lo chiama Tino. Maya è timida, introversa e sola e Tino si prefigge come scopo nella vita di trovarle la felicità. Dopo che Tino resta attratto dal cane di Al, un compagno di classe di Maya, i due ragazzi iniziano una relazione che sfocia nel matrimonio con tre figli. Tino crede che ora il suo scopo sia Roxy, la cagna di cui si è invaghito, finché un giorno l'animale va dal veterinario per non tornare mai più. Quando anche Tino, ormai anziano, muore, ringrazia Maya per avergli donato una delle sue vite migliori.

Bailey si reincarna in un nuovo cane meticcio verso gli anni 2000 e viene adottato da una donna che lo chiama Waffles. Il marito della donna, tuttavia, rifiuta di tenere il cane in casa e dopo qualche anno lo abbandona. Waffles parte alla ricerca di una nuova vita e raggiunge la zona di campagna dove ha trascorso le estati come Bailey, riunendosi con gioia al suo vecchio padrone Ethan che ora ha cinquant'anni e conduce una vita solitaria gestendo la fattoria dei nonni, ormai sua. Non riconoscendolo, inizialmente Ethan consegna il cane al canile ma poi cambia idea e lo reclama chiamandolo Buddy. Buddy, che ora sente di aver finalmente trovato lo scopo della sua vita, ricongiunge Ethan con una vedova Hannah e i due si sposano.

Buddy fa capire a Ethan di essere il suo vecchio amico di infanzia eseguendo dei loro vecchi trucchi e rispondendo a comandi che gli aveva insegnato e l'uomo ha così modo di riabbracciarlo con gioia. Bailey ha finalmente capito che lo scopo della vita è divertirsi, lavorare, trovare qualcuno con cui stare, non impensierirsi per il passato  e vivere il presente!

I recently gave presentations at three Boulder County high schools: Monarch, Fairview, and Centaurus. The topic was situational awareness and having very simple plans to deal with challenging situations. There was a high level of interest from the young ladies who gave up their spare time to meet with me. One thing I've noticed (and that has been confirmed to me by other instructors and presenters) is that most women in their teens are very good at absorbing knowledge and applying those lessons learned if it's presented to them in a straightforward manner.
That was fun. I hope I'll get invited back. Thanks to Red Tent Club (LIKE them on Facebook) for arranging the visits.
A recent forest fire in the mountains south west of Denver, Colorado has prompted some families to rethink their plans for bugging out when the Sheriff's Dept. ordered residents to evacuate. Some people lost their homes to the fire, some were unable to return home for a week.
The Lower North Fork fire started in very dry, windy conditions in a heavily forested residential area around Conifer, Colorado. Some residents called the authorities to ask what was happening, but at that time, the fire wasn't considered a serious problem, so some people wasted time before finally evacuating.
The first lesson to be learned from this is, when you have concerns about your safety, don't wait to be told to leave. If you think it is safer to leave rather than stay, then leave!
Second, some simple preparations at the beginning of fire season, hurricane season, tornado season, or any other time of the year when certain natural disasters are more likely to occur, is to keep a bag packed with the important items such as personal papers, emergency cash, change of clothes, etc. Have a plan for where to go; Keep the car with at least a half tank of gasoline at all times; Be able to notify friends, relatives, neighbors, and emergency personnel such as local law enforcement about who you are, how many people in your family or group, and where you can be reached.
Practice leaving home inside of five minutes and plan accordingly. These are just a few of the things that should be included in a bugout plan.

The Second Coming of Sam Adams
Shane Cory
And this guy is even NAMED Adam... not a coincidence!
Most Americans think Sam Adams was a dedicated brew master, while he was a "malter" (yet not a very good one), students of history get goosebumps thinking about his legacy.
Thomas Jefferson called him "truly the Man of the Revolution."
And that, he was.
While other Founding Fathers slowly evolved into men willing to lead others to Liberty, Sam Adams was likely born a radical.
Adams' father, a Deacon and businessman, was involved in early politics that set a straight and narrow path toward revolution.
Born in Boston, Sam Adams attended Harvard, closing with his thesis on lawful resistance.
Adams put his thesis to the test when he became a Boston tax collector in 1756. Within 9 years, the town was on the verge of bankruptcy, as Adams rarely bothered to collect taxes.
As Adams was slowing the flow of money to Britain, he was becoming what loyalists called him a, "master of propaganda" who controlled Boston with angry mobs.
He eventually led the Boston Tea Party and called for the gathering that led to the First Continental Congress. He was also the man who nominated George Washington to lead our first Army.
Today, our federal government would likely consider Sam Adams a threat to national security and label him a domestic terrorist while the liberal media would absurdly brand him as a "white nationalist".
Over thirty years, Adams worked to education the common man, not the elites. He riled up the public, being loved by the people and deeply hated by those who profited off their cozy relationship with the crown.
In contrast to politicians today, Adams did not exploit his influential position for wealth. Friends often paid for his clothing so he would look halfway presentable while representing Boston in the Continental Congress.
Without question, Samuel Adams was America's first true patriot.
Today, men like that are ridiculed or worse, locked up by the powers that be.
But they do exist and I know one of them.
You may have heard of Adam Kokesh.
He's a man that is either loved or hated with few in between.
The 36 year-old is a Marine Corps veteran who served in the Iraq War.
Upon his end of active service, Kokesh took the then unpopular stance to protest the war, but has since been proven to be on the right side of history.
Adam's bold protests caught the ire of the Marine Corps who downgraded his discharge from Honorable to a General discharge and removed him from the "Individual Ready Reserve" which is a four-year contract obligation Marines agree to as part of a four-year active-duty contract.
Since his protests of the Iraq War, Kokesh deepened his study of Liberty and engaged in a string of protests and education efforts, which led to his repeated arrest.
In 2013, Adam announced the "Open Carry March on Washington" which was planned to be a non-violent demonstration.
Kokesh was nearly alone in the march but filmed a 23-second video of himself in DC loading a shotgun. The streets were bare in early morning video yet the U.S. Parks service investigated.
Note that Kokesh had previously been arrested three times by the Park Service. Twice in DC and once in Philadelphia.
Days after posting the video, a Park Service SWAT team (yes, they have a SWAT team), breached the front door of Kokesh's residence, lobbed in a flash grenade and handcuffed Kokesh and his roommates.
After a five-hour search, they turned up the shotgun and some mushrooms.
For his string of arrests in 2013, Kokesh received a two-year probation and a suspended sentence for drug and weapons charges.
Since then, Kokesh has turned down his revolutionary rhetoric and ramped up his education efforts.
When I met Adam last July at Freedom Fest in Vegas, I knew of his reputation which is mixed even in the libertarian community. Many feel his civil disobedience is too radical and attention seeking while others can see his true commitment to Liberty.
I saw his commitment. It was undeniable.
Adam told be about his plans to descend upon the city of New Orleans and make it the focus of his education efforts. He had written a small black book titled Freedom! and planned to distribute the book to every home in the city.
It didn't make sense to me at first, "Why New Orleans?" I asked.
As we were standing in a back dock outside of the noise of the casino, Kokesh explained that New Orleans residents lived through the failures of government with Hurricane Katrina.
As the levies broke due to Army Corps failures, the disorganized government response was to disarm and corral the citizens – if they didn't drown.
The heavy-handed federal response was to shut down the undamaged charity hospital that wasn't approved by FEMA, and even prohibit doctors from treating emergency patients who were not "government approved."
They even stopped efforts to feed victims – going as far as throwing out apples that had been pre-sliced.
Some parishes in Louisiana took the extreme step of barring the federal government from entering their borders – choosing to take care of themselves with the help of Americans around the nation.
After the storm and years later, the government short changed homeowners with their "Road Home" program by paying fair market values (which were paltry) rather than replacement values creating a massive divide that inflamed the low-income community.
Combined that with the city's decision to demolish low-income housing, it was clear that state, local and federal governments were intent in rebuilding New Orleans, but only for the wealthy.
Kokesh got that, and like Samuel Adams' work to education the "common man", he's doing the same thing and opening the public's eyes to the real oppression that they face from an all-powerful government.
When Kokesh told me about his New Orleans plans, I thought they were lofty and he was unlikely to carry them out.
But he pulled it off.
This month, over 200,000 copies of the 100-page black book, Freedom!, began arriving in the mail in New Orleans. The cost was a hefty $131,000.
Kokesh followed the arrival of the book by heading to New Orleans himself and stenciling the title of the book in dirty city streets using a pressure washer – basically doing a partial favor to the city by cleaning their streets.
And of course, Kokesh was arrested and locked up for four days. The incident has Kokesh nearing 40 arrests for political activity – many of which you can see on his YouTube page.
Like Sam Adams, Kokesh is not advocating for war, violence, or blood at this time in his career. He's advocating for Americans to wake up and realize that they are enslaved by governments and their interests to maintain power and wealth.
Today's "common man" like the pre-revolutionary colonist, are expected to keep their heads down, maintain productivity and continue to provide a stream of tax dollars to maintain their chains in the form of government.
Adam Kokesh is figuratively handing Americans a hacksaw so that they can secure their own freedom without the need to kill the folks holding onto their chains.
His work is just beginning.
You can get Adam's electronic version of the book, for free, HERE.

Youth And Ignorance


This has to be one of the biggest WTF moments ever..
I mean I understand the idea behind it… but … really… seriously … WTF?
I really do wonder about the state of the world some times.
I'm not even going to try and explain it.

CRPF constable goes back on rape claim against chief sports officer, coach
New Delhi, Dec 21 (PTI) The 30-year-old CRPF constable, who had accused the paramilitary's Chief Sports Officer and Arjuna Awardee Khajan Singh and coach Surjit Singh of sexual harassment, rape and intimidation, has retracted her allegations, official sources said on Monday. Police said Khajan Singh was questioned and his statement has also been recorded by the investigation team but refused to divulge further details, saying the investigation is still underway.
Earlier this week, the victim recorded her statement before the magistrate under CrPC section 164 where she retracted her allegations mentioned in her complaint filed before the Delhi Police earlier this month, they said.
'She retracted her allegations levelled against both the accused and is reluctant to pursue the case further,' sources said. Khajan Singh has also recorded his statement before the investigation team and refuted all allegations levelled against him. This came after the victim registered her statement before the magistrate, a police officer said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) Santosh Kumar Meena said Khajan Singh was questioned and his statement has also been recorded by the investigation team but refused to divulge further details, saying the investigation is still underway.
A senior police officer said after the FIR was registered, the case was transferred from a sub-inspector level officer to an inspector attached with the Crime Against Women Cell of Dwarka district, which is investigating the case presently. In the FIR registered at Baba Haridas police station on December 3, the complainant, who had joined the force in 2010, alleged that the two accused sexually harassed women constables and later used them as 'their accomplices'.
'They secretly took my photos while I was taking a bath. I was blackmailed through these photographs and they threatened that if I did not talk to them, they would circulate my photos on the Internet,' the constable had alleged in the FIR.
According to the FIR, the constable has also accused Khajan and Surjit of running a 'sex scandal' in the force and alleged that they had 'many accomplices'.
'They threatened to make my (constable) photos viral on the Internet and used it for raping me continually over three years,' the constable alleged in the FIR.
The FIR also stated that the two allegedly harassed her by sending showcause notices.
The FIR also stated that in March 2014, the woman constable had filed a formal complaint with the CRPF Inspector General, but she was allegedly forced by the accused to withdraw it.
Khajan Singh, a DIG-rank officer in the force, had won a silver medal at the 1986 Seoul Asian Games in the 200m butterfly event which was India's first medal in swimming at the event since the 1951 edition.
He had rubbished the allegations levelled by the CRPF constable, who has also won several medals at national and international levels.
CRPF spokesperson Moses Dhinakaran had earlier said, 'The CRPF has taken a serious note of the complaint and has constituted an internal complaint committee headed by an Inspector General-level officer to conduct an inquiry.' 'As far as the FIR is concerned, the department will facilitate the investigation agency in all respects,' the spokesperson had said.
Khajan Singh was bestowed the Arjuna award in 1984. Hugely successful at the national level, Khajan clinched multiple gold medals at the South Asian Games (then known as South Asian Federation Games) in 1984 and 1989. PTI AMP TDS TDS
