Rs 4.25 lakh stolen from prison-run cafeteria near Poojappura central jail in major security breach
THIRUVANTHAPURAM: In a shocking security lapse, Rs 4.25 lakh was stolen from the office of the cafeteria being run by prison inmates right near the Poojappura central prison on Sunday night. The Poojappura police said they received a complaint of theft from the prison officials on Monday morning. "The theft reportedly took place on Sunday night. When the prison staff came on Monday morning, they noticed that the cash was missing, " said a police officer. The cash which was from the last three days sale was to be deposited in the treasury on Monday. The culprit/culprits broke open the door of the cafeteria, known as 'Food for Freedom', and decamped with the cash that was kept in the locker. The police said they have started a probe and the investigation is in the preliminary phase. The police sources said someone having intimate knowledge of the place could've carried out the crime. The cops are perusing CCTV visuals from nearby buildings to identify the culprits. The cafeteria, shockingly, did not have any working CCTV cameras.

Harjinder Singh faces deportation from US: Shocking footage shows semi-truck driver taking rogue U-turn, killing 3
An Indian man, identified as Harjinder Singh, reportedly faces deportation from the US after he was held responsible for the violent crash. Harjinder Singh, a semi-truck driver, came under the scanner after a video showed him taking an illegal U-turn that claimed three lives on the Florida Turnpike. The incident took place near Fort Pierce around 3 pm on August 12 when Singh allegedly attempted to cut across the highway through an "official use only" median pass, the Times of India reported. He was operating a commercial semi-truck with a trailer. This resulted in the trailer jackknifing and colliding with a minivan — leaving all three of the minivan's passengers dead, according to officials. The video, which has now gone viral, showed a view from inside the cab of the semi-truck driver. Suddenly, the driver makes a U-turn, causing a minivan behind it to crash into the huge vehicle. Singh appears unmoved by the horror crash. Photos from the scene showed the van torn apart, its roof peeled back and its other scattered across the highway. A post shared from the Official White House Rapid Response addressed the incident. It stated that "this individual", Harjinder Singh, "is an illegal immigrant who was granted a commercial driver's license by the State of California — and now, three innocent people are dead." "He has been arrested for vehicular homicide and an ICE detainer has been issued," the Rapid Response posted on X. Meanwhile, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital in an email, "This is a devastating tragedy made even worse by the fact that it was totally preventable." "The actions taken by the defendant while operating a commercial tractor-trailer are both shocking and criminal," the Florida Dept. of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) Executive Director Dave Kerner said in a statement. According to reports, Harjinder Singh has been staying in the USA illegally since 2018. He reportedly carried a California commercial driver's licence. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement has issued a detainer against him. Singh remains in custody on state and federal charges, but the FLHSMV said that he will be deported when the state charges are resolved. If convicted of homicide, he faces prison time in Florida before deportation, New York Post claimed. "Illegal aliens that have no legal right to be in our country certainly should not be granted commercial drivers' licenses," Abigail Jackson was quoted as saying.

Modified Your Bullet To Make This Kind Of Sound? Over 4,000 Riders Fined In Mumbai
In 2024, Mumbai Traffic Police cracked down on noisy bikes, issuing 4,189 e-challans and collecting fines worth Rs 41.89 lakh, highlighting the gravity of the problem In Mumbai, residents are grappling with sleepless nights and rising accidents as motorcycles fitted with silencers that sound like firecrackers continue to roar through the streets despite repeated police warnings. In 2024, the Mumbai Traffic Police launched a special campaign to address this issue, targeting two-wheeler riders who flouted the rules. During the campaign, a total of 4,189 e-challans were issued, and fines amounting to Rs 41,89,000 were collected, underscoring the severity of the problem. Police took strict action against offenders, seizing and crushing thousands of silencers that mimic firecracker sounds under a road roller to prevent their reuse. In cases where fines remained unpaid, court notices were issued directly to the vehicle owners. Under the Motor Vehicles Act 198, vehicle modifications that violate regulations attract a minimum fine of Rs 1000, and in some cases, criminal charges are filed. What Makes The Danger Worse The noise from such silencers is not just irritating but also harmful to health. Constant exposure puts strain on the ears, with the elderly and children most affected. The risk of accidents rises sharply when riders combine these silencers with stunts or high-speed turns. Such bikes are often seen in large numbers during festival rallies, where the deafening noise troubles citizens and causes other drivers to lose balance on the road. Noisy bikes tearing through busy Mumbai areas late at night or early in the morning are instantly recognizable. They cause disturbed sleep, distract students, and add to the discomfort of patients. The problem is felt most acutely in sensitive zones such as hospitals, schools, and residential colonies. Ongoing Police Crackdown The Mumbai Police continue to act against violators, with no exemptions for those using such silencers for style or hobby. The police have indicated plans to intensify their efforts in the future. What Citizens Can Do Citizens are encouraged to report sightings of two-wheelers with 'firecracker' silencers to the traffic police and adhere to vehicle regulations themselves. Under the Motor Vehicles Act, illegal modifications result in fines, and severe cases may lead to criminal charges. view comments First Published: August 18, 2025, 11:38 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
