Doc who shot at nurse leaving her paralysed, sentenced for life
According to the prosecution, the accused, Dr Sandeep Soni, worked in a private hospital in Katni town, while Madhuri Chaudhary also worked in the same hospital as a nurse. The two were friends, and when Madhuri's father fell ill, the doctor helped her financially. Later, he proposed to her, which she refused.
She left her job at Katni, moved to Jabalpur, and began working there.
Dr Soni also moved to Jabalpur and joined a hospital.
He continued to pressure Madhuri to call him, and when she refused, he threatened her. On February 7, 2024, when Madhuri was returning home from duty, Dr Soni shot two bullets at her with a country-made pistol, intending to kill her.
The court was informed that one of the two bullets hit the nurse in her abdomen, which was surgically removed, but the second got stuck in her spinal cord and couldn't be removed, leaving the lower half of Madhuri's body unresponsive.

Vigilance probe on ‘Aadudam Andhra' reaches final stages
Tirupati: The ambitious 'Aadudam Andhra' sports initiative, launched to foster grassroots sports development in the state during the previous YSRCP government, is now un-der a cloud of controversy following allegations of financial mismanagement, poor-quality sports equipment, and po-litical meddling. A comprehensive vigilance inquiry, launched to probe the alleged misuse of public funds, is expected to reach final stages in August. The Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh (Saap) has point-ed to a massive scam worth Rs 60-65 crore in the imple-mentation of the programme, which was rolled out in De-cember 2023 in the name of promoting sports such as cricket, volleyball, kabaddi, kho-kho, and badminton from village to district levels. Saap chairman A Ravi Naidu, speaking to The Hans India, stated that the district-level vigilance inquiry has been completed and a state-level probe is currently in progress, with the final report expected anytime in August. 'We have identified irregularities in procurements, cash incen-tives, food supplies, medals, and publicity. The final report will shed light on the lapses and name the individuals re-sponsible,' he said. The state government had sanctioned Rs 25,000 per man-dal, municipality, and assembly constituency, and Rs 10,000 per ward and village secretariat to conduct the sports events, amounting to Rs 81 lakh for Chittoor district and Rs 83 lakh for Tirupati district alone. However, the kits provided — including bats, balls, shuttle rackets, t-shirts, and corks — have been widely criticised by players for their substandard quality. Several partici-pants across various levels reported that the equipment was unusable after just a single game. Complaints of the leftover kits not reaching local schools, as per government orders, have added another layer of concern, sparking questions over their possible diversion. Adding to the controversy are claims of political interfer-ence in the selection of winners during the programme's contests. There are accusations that the YSRCP govern-ment allegedly influenced the results to benefit its party loyalists. Vigilance officials are also examining reports that cash prizes earmarked for winners were either delayed or not credited at all, pointing to possible misappropriation of funds. Vigilance authorities are now finalising their comprehen-sive report, which will be submitted to the government very soon. Sources indicate that the findings could trigger administrative or legal proceedings against those found guilty.

22-yr-old stabbed in Jaipur, 7 held
A day after a 22-year-old man was stabbed to death in Jaipur over an old enmity, the police on Monday arrested the prime accused following a brief encounter after the latter attempted to escape arrest by snatching the service revolver of a policeman, officials said. Six others were also arrested. The prime accused, identified as Anas Khan, sustained a gunshot wound on his leg after the police opened fire to stop him from escaping. The victim, identified as Vipin Nayak alias Vicky, was stabbed to death in Jamdoli area on Sunday night around 9:30 PM, triggering panic and outrage in the locality. According to officials, Khan and his aides had confronted Vipin, with whom he had a long-standing feud, near the latter's house in the Paldi Meena area. As a heated argument broke out between the two, Khan stabbed Vipin multiple times on the chest before fleeing from the spot. Vipin's sister, who saw her brother being stabbed, rushed out after hearing his screams. Vipin was immediately rushed to SMS Hospital but he succumbed to his injuries during treatment. The postmortem could not be conducted as the family members did not give their consent, sources said. Soon after the incident, Khan posted on social media saying 'Revenge is complete,' though the post was later deleted. In response to the murder, protests erupted on Monday with locals and family members blocking the Dausa-Agra Highway demanding justice. However, police managed to convince the protesters to shift to the service lane. The family demanded Rs 50 lakh as compensation, a government job for one of the kin, the suspension of Jamdoli Police Station SHO, and trial in a fast-track court. Authorities have assured them that the demands would be forwarded to senior officials. DCP Tejaswini Gautam confirmed that Khan and six others were arrested within hours. DIG Rameshwar Singh, while speaking to The Indian Express, said that the arrests were made within 14 hours of the incident. He added that the motive behind the killing appears to stem out from personal rivalry, though the exact reasons are still being investigated. Police forces from nearby stations were deployed to maintain order in the aftermath of the killing.
