Police intensify campaigns on Shakti App in Sathya Sai and Chittoor districts
The police of Sri Sathya Sai and Chittoor districts have intensified the awareness campaign on 'Shakti App', an emergency digital tool designed and developed to ensure the safety of women and students in distress. Sri Sathya Sai Superintendent of Police V. Ratna said that the police from the village level to the sub-division were directed to make extensive outreach efforts, and hold awareness programmes, focusing on schools, colleges, and public places. She said that Deputy SP Adinarayana (Women Police wing), the Shakti Teams would explain and demonstrate how the app could act as a digital shield for women, bringing them immediate police assistance through the SOS button and Dial 100 and 112. Chittoor Superintendent of Police V.N. Manikanta Chandolu said that the app administration would be handled by Additional SP (Operations) and Shakti Teams Nodal Officer S.R. Rajasekhar Raju, who would lead the initiatives to promote awareness among the target group. As part of the campaign, a Shakti team led by Inspector B. Srinivasa Rao addressed students, focusing on the app's life-saving potential during emergencies. 'It is a sincere request from the police that every woman and girl student must download the Shakti App on their mobiles. With a single click, assured help from the nearest police station would arrive at the troubled spot in a matter of a few minutes. Place your safety in our hands,' the Inspector told the students, adding that formation of Shakti Warrior Groups had already commenced in all educational institutions. The Chittoor SP in a message told the students that the app would not only connect victims to police immediately, but also send instant alerts to their family and emergency services, making it a highly reliable tool at times of crisis.

Sri Ram Sene leader held for poisoning school water tank to target Muslim headmaster in Karnataka
BELAGAVI: In a shocking incident, police have confirmed that a Sri Ram Sene leader deliberately poisoned the drinking water tank of a government school in Hulikatti, Saundatti taluk, leading to 12 students falling ill. The attack, police said, was motivated by religious bias aimed at the school's headmaster, who is a Muslim. Including Sri Ram Sene leader Sagar Patil, the main accused, all three persons involved in the plot have been arrested. The incident occurred a couple of weeks ago at the Government Higher Primary School in Hulikatti, which has 41 enrolled students. Headmaster Suleman Gorinayak, who has been serving at the school for 13 years, was allegedly the target of the conspiracy. Addressing a press conference, Superintendent of Police Dr Bhimashankar Guled said, 'Sagar Patil of Hulikatti village conspired to have the headmaster removed purely because of his religion (Muslim). To execute this plan, he coerced another villager, Krishna Madar, by threatening to expose his inter-caste relationship unless he cooperated.' Under duress, Krishna, along with his associate Naganagouda Patil, allegedly procured pesticide from Munavalli town. They mixed it into a soft drink bottle and bribed a minor student from the school with Rs 500, snacks, and chocolates to pour the contents into the school's water tank. The student carried out the act as instructed. On July 14, soon after consuming the contaminated water, 12 students fell ill and 11of them were hospitalised and treated promptly. All have since recovered. SP Guled confirmed that the accused, Sagar Patil, Krishna Madar, and Naganagouda Patil have been arrested. A case has been registered at Saundatti Police Station, and further investigation is on.

Friendship Day dinner turns tragic as a 21-year-old run over by truck in Thane
A 21-year-old woman who was riding pillion with a friend while returning home was killed after a speeding container truck rammed into their two-wheeler Sunday night in Maharashtra's Thane. Palak Solanki and Pawan Mhaisala, 24, who was driving the two-wheeler, had gone to drop another friend, Zoya, at her Mumbra residence after dinner when the accident took place near Reti Bunder Junction in Mumbra, said the Thane police. According to a police complaint filed by Mhaisala, he and Solanki were returning home on his Suzuki Access 125 scooter around 11.30 pm Sunday. They dropped off a friend, Zoya, at her home in Amrit Nagar in Mumbra. 'He said that since it was Friendship Day on Sunday, they had decided to go out for dinner,' an officer said. Mhaisala stated in his complaint that as they reached Retibandar No 4, a container truck travelling towards Nashik hit their scooter from behind. Mhaisala lost control of the vehicle because of the impact, and both he and Solanki fell onto the road. The rear wheel of the container then ran over Solanki's head, causing her to die on the spot, he added. Mhaisa suffered a fractured ankle and bruises to his waist, left shoulder, and right leg in the crash. Two or three pedestrians who witnessed the accident rushed to help him. Mhaisa then called Zoya, who in turn called Solanki's relatives to the scene. The complainant alleged that the container driver was driving at high speed, disregarded road conditions, and fled the scene without reporting the accident. The police said a case has been registered against the unknown driver and the container truck at the Mumbra Police Station. They added that an investigation is underway to locate the vehicle as well as the individual responsible for the accident.
