Bhubaneswar, Aug 3 (PTI) The police on Sunday arrested two persons from New Delhi after they allegedly committed burglary in the house of an income tax officer here, an official said.
According to police, the duo allegedly robbed 230 grams of gold ornaments and cash from the official residence of an IT department officer inside a colony on July 21 this year.
Around 10.30 am on July 21, when no one was present in the house, the burglars entered the building by breaking open the main door. They had stolen 230 grams of gold ornaments and cash from there, said Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Police Commissioner S Dev Datta Singh.
In the course of the investigation, it was found that the interstate burglary gang was involved in the case.
The two accused persons were arrested in Delhi, and Rs 18 lakh in cash was seized, he said.
The accused persons were active in Odisha, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and other states of India, he said.
The seized cash is almost equivalent to the cost of the stolen gold. The seized money will be handed over to the victim, Singh said. PTI BBM SBN BBM SBN

From The Hindu, August 6, 1975: Police raid ‘bogus' crossword puzzle firms
New Delhi, Aug. 5: The office premises of 12 'bogus' firms allegedly cheating a large number of innocent persons through false crossword puzzle contests were to-day raided by the Crime Branch of the Delhi Police in different parts of the city. 'Proprietors' of two such firms, Chander Prakash of Rani Bagh and Sarinder Kumar of Anand Nagar were arrested on charges of cheating, according to a press note issued by the Delhi Police. The modus operandi of these rucketeers was to collect the postal addresses of a large number of people, the press note said. The 'firm' would prepare a complete list of these people with their postal addresses and despatch literature regarding the crossword puzzle contest. For the first second and third prize winners, attractive articles such as motor cycles, tape recorders and transistors were offered as prizes. The puzzle contest would be so simple that anyone would be able to solve it without much mental exercise. Once the contestant despatched his puzzle entry he would fall in the trap of the racketeer. In due course of time the firm would inform all the contestants that they had won the first prize. All the winners were asked to send Rs. 50 as licence fee package and postal charges to enable the firm to despatch transistors to firms. In fact, a very inferior quality locally manufactured transistor would be sent to each one of them by VPP for Rs. 125. Invariably, the contestant would have already shelled out a sum of Rs. 48 to take delivery of the prize. He would thus be cheated by over Rs. 100 as the cost of the transistor will not be more than Rs. 70 to 73.

Clintons Among Key Figures Facing Subpoenas In GOP-Led Epstein Inquiry
The Department of Justice has also been subpoenaed to produce records "related to" Epstein. The House Oversight Committee has issued subpoenas to several high-profile individuals as part of its ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, the Associated Press reported Tuesday. Among those subpoenaed for depositions are former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as eight former senior officials from the Department of Justice. According to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the subpoenas were issued to six former Attorneys General, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Bill Barr, Merrick Garland, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales, as well as former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller. The closed-door depositions are scheduled to take place between August and mid-October. The Department of Justice has also been subpoenaed to produce records 'related to" Epstein. The committee has requested the submission of 'full, complete, unredacted Epstein Files" by August 19, 2025. This latest development comes after the DoJ stated last month that it would not release any additional information related to the case and confirmed that no further individuals were expected to be charged. In a letter addressed to former President Clinton, Committee Chairman James Comer requested his appearance for a deposition on October 14, specifically regarding his past relationship with Epstein. 'By your own admission, you flew on Jeffrey Epstein's private plane four separate times in 2002 and 2003," Comer wrote. Clinton has previously denied ever visiting Epstein's private island, which has been linked to allegations of abuse. President Donald Trump has publicly challenged Clinton's statements, claiming, without providing evidence, that Clinton visited the island '28 times." In a 2019 statement, Clinton's spokesperson Angel Urena said the former president had no knowledge of Epstein's crimes and had not spoken to him in over a decade. The statement confirmed that Clinton flew on Epstein's private aircraft four times in 2002 and 2003, all for work related to the Clinton Foundation and in the company of foundation staff and Secret Service agents.

Newly-wed lecturer ends life alleging abuse by husband in Krishna district
Vijayawada: A 24-year-old woman, identified as Varre Srividya, allegedly died by suicide at her residence in Vuyyuru of Krishna district, following sustained physical and emotional abuse by her husband. A lecturer at a private college and an MSc graduate, Srividya reportedly ended her life late on Sunday, just days ahead of Raksha Bandhan, leaving behind a poignant note that read, "Sorry, I can't tie rakhi this year," addressed to her younger brother. According to the police, Srividya was married to Arun Kumar, a village surveyor from Kalavapamula in Vuyyuru mandal, on April 23. Arun Kumar, along with his parents, has been accused of subjecting Srividya to continuous harassment and dowry-related demands. The couple had been living together in a rented house in Vuyyuru town since their marriage. Police said Srividya's suicide note detailed repeated instances of domestic violence that began soon after the wedding. She accused her husband of physically assaulting her — including pulling her by the hair, banging her head against doors, and verbally humiliating her in the presence of another woman named Sai. The letter further mentioned that despite enduring this abuse in silence for months, she had confided in her parents about the ongoing harassment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Pieces of Clothing Older Women should Avoid Learn More Undo Her father V Nagaraju, a native of Kondavaram in Movva mandal, told investigators that on Sunday night, Srividya called him, expressing that she could no longer bear the torture and urged him to come immediately. However, by the time he arrived, she was found hanging at her residence. Nagaraju alleged that Arun Kumar had been harassing Srividya over financial matters, including pressuring the family to sell their house in Vuyyur and hand over the proceeds. He claimed that Rs 10 lakh in cash and gold worth another Rs 10 lakh had already been given at the time of the marriage. Following the complaint, Vuyyur town police registered a case against Arun Kumar and his parents under relevant sections related to dowry harassment and abetment to suicide. Arun Kumar is currently absconding. The body was shifted to the Government General Hospital under the Dr. YSR University of Health Sciences for post-mortem and later handed over to the family members. Police said a manhunt has been launched to trace the accused and further inquiries are underway.
