Special court to be set up in districts to hear Arms Act cases: Bihar DGP
East Patna, June 19 (UNI) A special fast-track court would be constituted in every district of Bihar to hear Arms Act cases, said top police official here on Thursday. Director General of Police (DGP) Vinay Kumar said that a proposal in this connection has been submitted before the government. Kumar said that more than 5,000 cases under Arms Act were registered during the last one year across the state but in absence of fast-track courts in the state, there is unnecessary delay in hearing of these cases. As speedy trials of Arms Act cases used to be conducted and criminals were being punished by the court within a week in between 2005 and 2011 following which people did not dare to go out with weapons. But after the end of the fast-track courts in 2011, the hearing of such cases got delayed and its pendency kept on increasing. UNI RS SS

How Mumbai Police solved a burglary case with only footage of accused's feet
On a quiet April morning in 2022, septuagenarian Vilas Mhamunkar and his wife locked their sixth-floor apartment in Borivali (East) and left for Goregaon to visit relatives. They returned just three hours later with a sight of the door lock broken, their home ransacked, and Rs. 22 lakh worth of cash, gold, and silver missing. What followed was a manhunt led not by facial recognition or eyewitness accounts, but by grainy CCTV footage that captured only the feet and shoes of the accused and their pants. The burglary took place on April 20, 2022 between 11 am to 2 pm. As per FIR registered on Mhamunkar's complaint, the burglars broke into his flat at Yashodhara Apartment on Shri Krishna Road and made off with valuables including 827 grams of gold, 1.75 kg of silver, and Rs.10,000 in cash. The stolen items ranged from gold necklaces, chains, bangles, rings, and pendants to silver plates, a spoon, religious ornaments, and a silver oil lamp. Some of the gold items were intricately designed, with one chain and locket weighing 18 grams and a bangle alone valued at Rs. 30,000. With no clear images or eyewitness leads, officers from Dahisar police station swung into action, relying solely on CCTV footage. Over the next several days, they examined footage from 78 CCTV cameras across Dahisar, Borivali, Mira Road, Kashimira, and Kasarvadavli. The footage, including the visuals from nine private CCTV cameras in the vicinity, showed only the lower part of the body of the two accused that ultimately helped the cops to narrow down their search. After scanning more footage for some days, the cops spotted the two in Thane on the day of the incident. Thereafter the Dahisar Police showed the footage to Thane and Navi Mumbai Police, after which cops learnt that the accused were habitual offenders with allegedly over 25 burglary and theft cases against them and in the next month, arrested two accused Anant Bhiku Kamble and Dnyaneshwar Baban Bangre, both residents of Panvel. As per Police, by the time they caught up with the accused, the two had already sold off part of the loot in Chiplun and Panvel. However, officers recovered 374.46 grams of gold and 1,224 grams of silver worth Rs. 12.53 lakh. The police claimed that the burglars had conducted the recce before targeting the Mhamunkar flat and had deliberately selected the said building as they noticed absence of watchman and security cameras. The police claimed that the accused also timed the heist for the daytime, knowing that most residents would be away at work and avoided Navi Mumbai, fearing quick identification due to their criminal history there and believed that Mumbai offered relative anonymity. The case is awaiting trial before the magistrate court in suburban Borivali. As per Dahisar Police, in another case of chain snatching in May, 2022, they had nabbed another accused despite the CCTV footage failing to capture his face. Cops had nabbed him after screening footages of over 35 CCTV cameras based on colour of his shirt, pants and a pair of worn-out shoes.

Bodies of three Maoists will be handed over to kin after legal process, say police
The bodies of the three Maoists who were killed in an exchange of fire would be handed over to their family members after following the legal process, Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) district Superintendent of Police Amit Bardar said on Thursday. Addressing the media here, Mr. Bardar said the family members of the three Maoists, upon being informed, arrived at Rampachodavaram to receive the bodies. 'The legal process to hand over the bodies is going on. We will hand over the bodies respectfully once the process is completed,' Mr. Bardar said. The Superintendent of Police was responding to the allegations levelled by the family members of slain Maoist Venkata Raavi Chaitanya, alias Aruna, alias Ruppi, that the police had not informed them about the death of Aruna and they were not allowed to see the body. Referring to the encounter, Mr. Bardar said they had information about the movement of the Maoists in the Rampachodavaram area on June 17, following which combing operation was initiated. 'On June 18, between 7 a.m. and 7.15 a.m., an exchange fire had taken place in the Kintukuru forest area under Rampachodavaram police station limits. After the encounter, we found the bodies of three Maoists, two of them women. We recovered three AK 47 rifles, magazines, kit bags and Maoist literature from the place,' Mr. Bardar said. Apart from Aruna, the other Maoists were identified as Gajarla Ravi, alias Uday, alias Ganesh, a central committee member carrying ₹25 lakh reward on his head, and Anju, alias Mase, who carried a reward of ₹1 lakh. 'Uday and Aruna were involved in more than 150 criminal cases, including the killing of an MLA and former MLA in 2018 and IED blasts,' Mr. Bardar said. The Superintendent of Police said they had information that about 30 Maoists had entered Andhra Pradesh via Odisha from Chhattisgarh after the announcement of Operation Kagar in November 2024. 'After the first exchange of fire in April and surrenders, there may be five to six members still moving in the AOB region. The operation is still on,' he said.
