"His family informed us after receiving a disturbing video message from him. We tracked his location and reached in time to prevent any mishap," Verma told TOI.
Singh reportedly made a similar suicide threat just a day earlier, which also caused distress to his family. "He is a habitual drinker and left home in a similar manner Wednesday," the officer said. Police said Singh has worked in private companies, but his current employment status is unclear.
He was taken into custody under Section 170 of BNSS, which allows arrest to prevent commission of a cognisable offence.

HC grants anticipatory bail to accused in NDPS Act case
: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court has allowed anticipatory bail to an accused in connection with an offence under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances( NDPS) Act, 1985. With this, the high court rejected the preliminary objection raised by the state that such relief was barred under Section 438(6) of the CrPC as amended in Uttar Pradesh. The court held that with the repeal of the CrPC and the coming into force of BNSS 2023 (Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita), the amended section 482 of the BNSS has superseded the stated amendment. Justice Manish Mathur passed this order recently on an application moved by Sudhir Kumar Chaurasia of Barabanki district seeking anticipatory bail under offence of the NDPS Act. The applicant had earlier been granted anticipatory bail under Sections 420, 467, 468, and 471 of the Indian Penal Code. A second anticipatory bail application was filed after Section 22(c) of the NDPS Act, 1985 was added to the FIR. The prosecution objected, relying on section 438(6) of the CrPC as amended by U.P. Act No. 4 of 2019, which prohibits anticipatory bail in NDPS and certain other serious offences. The state counsel contended that the U.P. amendment continued to apply in light of the saving clause under Section 531(2)(b) of the BNSS and Section 6A of the general clauses Act, 1897. It was argued that the amendment should be considered a notification or order under a repealed law and was thus saved. The applicant's counsel submitted that the state amendment was a legislative enactment and not protected by section 531(2)(b), and that the field was now occupied exclusively by Section 482 of the BNSS. The court held that the U.P. amendment to Section 438 CrPC, which barred anticipatory bail for NDPS offences, does not survive the repeal of the CrPC and enactment of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. The court rejected the state's argument that the U.P. amendment could be saved under section 531(2)(b) BNSS or section 6 of the general clauses Act. The court also referred to Article 254(2) of the Constitution, observing that although the U.P. amendment had received Presidential assent, the enactment of Section 482 BNSS, being a central legislation enacted later, would prevail in case of repugnancy. The court said, 'Even in terms of the proviso to Article 254(2) of the Constitution of India, there being a considerable difference in the provisions of anticipatory bail between Act No. 4 of 2019 and Section 482 BNSS 2023… it is the provisions of re-enacted Section 482 BNSS 2023, which shall prevail.' Accordingly, the court allowed the anticipatory bail application moved by the applicant. MANOJ KUMAR SINGH

Rapido bike captain arrested in Bengaluru after fight with woman rider
1 2 3 Bengaluru: A Rapido bike-taxi captain was arrested here Monday on charges of slapping a woman rider, who had objected to his alleged rash riding. The accused, though, alleged it was the woman who had attacked him first. A video clip, recorded by a passerby on his mobile, shows the two arguing and then the captain slapping the woman, who loses her balance and is knocked down on the road. Later, though, police collected CCTV footage from a nearby building, which showed the woman attacking the bike captain first. The accused bike captain has been identified as S Suman, 28, a resident of Srinivasnagar. He was arrested by Jayanagar police based on the complaint filed by Priya (name changed), the pillion rider. Suman has been charged under multiple sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Speaking to TOI, Priya explained the incident had taken place on the morning of June 13. While on her way from BTM Layout II Stage to her workplace in Jayanagar III Block, Priya had booked a Rapido bike, and Suman was assigned the ride. However, according to Priya, the ride was rough as Suman was rash, violating traffic rules, jumping signals at will, and even taking a detour. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo "Several times I requested him to slow down and follow the route shown in the map, but he wouldn't budge. Upon reaching Jayanagar III Block, I decided to end the ride, with my office still around 200 metres away," she said. Priya added that as she got off the bike, Suman was got into an argument with her for ending the ride prematurely. "When I countered him, he suddenly slapped me hard," Priya said. "In a bid to protect myself, I too attacked him." Suman later told the police it was Priya who hit him first, and that made him lose his cool. "Since there was a huge traffic congestion on the main roads, I took the inner lanes, but the woman kept yelling and abusing me for taking a different route. On reaching Jayanagar III Block, when she abused me yet again, I lost my cool. She spoke ill about my parents. When I warned her, she slapped me," Suman said, adding that it was then that he hit back.
