Woman found dead in Khusrupur
Patna: A 24-year-old woman was found dead at her in-laws' place in the Khusrupur police station area of Patna district on Saturday. The deceased was identified as Simran Kumari, wife of Raju Verma.
The police arrested her husband after the victim's family alleged that Raju committed dowry-related murder. According to the victim's aunt, Kusum Kumari, Simran's marriage to Raju Verma took place seven years ago. The family provided Rs 1.5 lakh in cash, along with gold jewellery during the wedding. However, the in-laws continued demanding Rs 50,000, a bed, and a large television set.
Khusrupur police have initiated a thorough investigation after arresting the husband for interrogation.
The police stated that the actual cause of death will be determined following the postmortem report and detailed inquiry.
Fatuha's sub-divisional police officer (SDPO) I, Pankaj Kumar, said the police received reports of a woman hanging herself near Neem Tal. "When the police reached the spot, the body was lying on the bed. The police sent the body for postmortem. Further proceedings will commence upon receiving the formal application," he said.

Traffic violators in dist rack up Rs 75 crore in unpaid fines
Kochi: Vehicle owners in Ernakulam owe a whopping Rs 75.27 crore in compounding amounts for traffic violations to the govt over the past five years. These unpaid fines are linked to 8,43,905 pending e-challans issued by the motor vehicles department (MVD) since the introduction of e-challans in the district. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This pending amount is more than two-and-a-half times the Rs 28 crore collected by the MVD in 2024. In total, 13,30,072 e-challans were issued during the five-year period, but only 4,86,167 were settled after fines were paid. According to MVD officials, the main reason for this backlog is the reluctance of many vehicle owners to clear dues unless compelled—such as during ownership transfers or vehicle sales. "The number of violations continues to rise as more vehicles hit the road daily. New drivers and vehicle owners tend to commit more offences, but violations generally decline as they gain experience," he said. Repeat offences are a growing concern. Since these fines are often unpaid, the MVD is issuing notices, specifically targeting owners with more than 25 violations, in an effort to enforce payment. "The MVD has begun targeting offenders who have over 25 violations by serving them notices. "The problem we face is that many owners fail to register or update their mobile numbers with the RTO. By the time we trace them, their fines often add up to thousands of rupees due to repeated offences," another official said. Fines typically start small but double with each repetition. E-challans are issued to the registered mobile number of the vehicle owner once it is caught for a traffic rule violation. Most traffic violations are now captured by the MVD's AI cameras. In Ernakulam, over 50,000 violations are reported monthly, with nearly 40,000 detected by the 64 AI cameras installed on highways. The most common offences include driving without seatbelts, riding two-wheelers without helmets, overspeeding, and using mobile phones while driving.

‘Section of girls getting involved in drug abuse': Tripura CM Manik Saha
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha Sunday reiterated that the state government has a zero-tolerance policy towards drug-related activities. Speaking at a government event in Dhalai district, CM Saha said, 'We have seen recently that a section of girls has got addicted to drugs. Drug abuse through intravenous injection is on the rise in the state. This practice can lead to the spread of HIV/AIDS.' He added that the state was also being used as a corridor for illegal drug trade. The chief minister informed the audience that the Union Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) has sanctioned Rs 198 crore to set up a special de-addiction centre at Bishramganj in Sepahijala district. In addition to this, the state government is also setting up de-addiction centres in all eight districts of Tripura. He added that drug seizures increased by 103 per cent and destruction of drugs by 132 per cent in 2024-25 in comparison to the previous year. Meanwhile, CM Saha also stated that his government will honour the tripartite insurgent surrender agreement signed last year by the Centre, the state government, and insurgent outfits – National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) and All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) – and fulfill the promises made to the surrendered cadres of both the banned militant groups.
