Speeding SUV with BJP flag kills woman constable in Patna; three arrested
A woman police constable was killed and two other officers sustained serious injuries after a speeding SUV mowed them down during a vehicle checking drive in Patna in the early hours of Thursday (June 12, 2025). The vehicle involved in the incident bore a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) flag. The incident took place at 12:30 a.m. on Atal Path under the jurisdiction of the S.K. Puri Police Station. Three police officials were inspecting vehicle documents when the SUV rammed into them, killing constable Komal Kumari on the spot. A sub-inspector and an assistant sub-inspector were critically injured in the incident. The deceased, 25-year-old Komal Kumari, hailed from Nalanda district and was attached to Dial 112, the emergency response unit of Bihar Police. Komal's mother, Ranju Devi, said her daughter was the family's sole breadwinner among five daughters. 'I received the call at around 2 a.m. from Patna that my daughter had met with an accident and she died. I do not have any earning member in the family; how will we survive now? I don't have any son,' Ms. Devi said. Komal's father, Pramod Prasad, works as a labourer in Ludhiana. Komal had joined the Bihar police force four years ago. Sub-inspector Deepak Kumar and assistant sub-inspector Awadhesh, who were injured in the collision, are currently undergoing treatment at a local hospital. Addressing the media on Thursday, Patna Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Awakash Kumar said, 'Out of four who were sitting in the car at the time of incident, three have been arrested. Police are continuously conducting raids to arrest the fourth accused. Nikhil Raj is the owner of the car and he was the one driving the car. He was also arrested.' He added, 'During the investigation we have got several other pieces of evidence which would be used in the case. Only the last accused is left, as soon as he gets arrested, we will file the chargesheet as soon as possible. We will also go for speedy trials so that they get the punishment. Murder case has been registered in the case.' When asked about the vehicle bearing a BJP flag, Mr. Kumar said, 'The person may have affiliation with any political parties, it hardly matters for us. It is murder case executed by these four accused and I don't see anything apart from this.' Meanwhile, the Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) criticised the BJP, posting on social media platform X, 'Last night, BJP hooligans ran over 3 policemen on Patna's Atal Path with their Scorpio car speeding at 90 kmph! Female constable Komal died! The other 2 are in critical condition in the hospital! The entire country knows that in the 'Amrit Kaal,' rules, regulations, laws, police, courts... nothing can restrain the BJP supporters, which is why they roam the streets with full arrogance, proudly displaying the BJP flag, believing they have complete immunity!'

Puja Banerjee and Kunal Verma say they have been cheated by a friend, lost all their life savings: ‘Zero par laakar khada kar diya'; how to stay vigilant
Actor-couple Puja Banerjee and Kunal Verma disclosed that they have fallen prey to a major financial scam and lost all their savings. Without revealing details, the Tujh Sang Preet Lagai Sajna actors, who got married in 2020, shared that they had been cheated by someone they had trusted for the past three years. Expressing that they are reeling from the 'deep shock', and dealing with the devastating impact of the incident, Puja — in the video titled 'Lowest phase of our lives…need your support and prayers in this difficult time' — said, 'These past 2-3 months have been extremely difficult for us, and we have no idea what will happen next. We have been victims of a fraudulent financial scam, and we lost a huge amount.' She explained that they have taken a while to talk about it publicly. 'Bohot waqt laga humein iske baare mein baat karne mein. (We have taken quite a long time to open up about this). We are both in shock, and Kunal is deeply affected by this. We still get overwhelmed when we talk about it,' Puja continued. Opening up about the betrayal, Kunal added, 'When you trust someone for the past 3 years. Has been with you, becomes a part of your home and family.' Despite the fall, the couple is hopeful of emerging resilient. 'Zero par laakar khada kar diya hai par hum zero se waapis shuru karenge. (We have to start from zero, but won't give up. We don't want to give up). All we want is your support and prayers. We have complete trust in God,' Puja said. Hardeep Singh, founder of Capital Financial Distributors, said fraud committed by friends or acquaintances is a particularly painful and surprisingly common form of deception. The betrayal of trust makes these scams both emotionally and financially damaging. One should stay vigilant and look for red flags,' said Singh. What is the modus operandi? Trust is the primary tool. Fraudsters who are friends or acquaintances exploit existing trust, making their requests for money or investment seem legitimate. 'It is observed that these scams often involve requests to borrow money (with no intention to repay), or invitations to join multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes that are actually pyramid scams, and very high return guaranteed plans. Also, the scammer may share personal stories or emergencies to create urgency and lower your guard,' explained Singh. What to do? Victims often feel embarrassed and may blame themselves, which leads to under-reporting and isolation. 'Scamster must be spoken about in social circles, which would help others avoid such people. We need to stay aware and always take a moment to verify the situation before sending money, even if the request comes from someone you know,' said Singh. *Confirm the legitimacy of the request. *Be wary of urgent requests, especially those involving secrecy, pressure, or emotional stories that demand immediate action. *Keep records of requests and conversations, which can help if you need to report the fraud later. *Share your story to create awareness, which may help someone avoid cheating.
