Chhattisgarh Bureaucrat Accused Of Rape, Exploitation By Woman Constable
Bhopal: A high-ranking government officer in Chhattisgarh finds himself at the centre of a storm as serious allegations of rape and exploitation under the false promise of marriage have been levelled against him. A Chhattisgarh Armed Force (CAF) woman constable from Balod district has filed a First Information Report (FIR) against Deputy Collector Dilip Uike, accusing him of sexually exploiting her over the past year while consistently misleading her with the promise of marriage. The case was registered at Doundi Police Station in Balod, triggering shockwaves through the state's administrative circles. Police sources indicated that Mr Uike, who is currently posted in Bijapur district, could be arrested at any time as the legal process unfolds. According to the police complaint, the woman constable alleged that her relationship with Mr Uike began in 2017, when both were studying in Doundi. Their acquaintance developed into a romantic relationship. She claims that Mr Uike initiated a physical relationship with her on the promise that he would marry her. The woman also accused the Deputy Collector of financial manipulation. She alleged that Uike not only purchased a car in her name but also got Rs 3 lakh transferred into his bank account under various pretexts. However, when she repeatedly brought up the topic of marriage, Mr Uike allegedly began to evade conversations and eventually cut off all communication with her. Balod Additional SP Monika Thakur, confirming the case, said, "A written complaint has been received from the constable. Based on her statement, a case has been registered under the relevant sections of sexual exploitation and criminal breach of trust. The allegations are serious, and the investigation is underway." NDTV made several attempts to contact Deputy Collector Dilip Uike for his version of events. However, repeated calls and messages went unanswered.

Trucker whose U-turn killed 3 cited threat to life threat in India to stay in US: Report
An Indian truck driver has been arrested in Florida, US, after a wrong U-turn by him allegedly resulted in the death of three people. The man, identified as Harjinder Singh, crossed into the US in 2018. Harjinder Singh was arrested on Saturday by US Marshals in California on a warrant for three counts of vehicular homicide.(Representative) He was processed for deportation but was allowed to stay in the US after he claimed a threat to his life in India, the New York Post reported, citing unnamed police sources. According to the report, Singh was released on a $5,000 immigration bond in January 2019 and has remained in immigration proceedings ever since. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) said in a statement on Saturday that he has since obtained a commercial driver's license in California. Harjinder Singh was arrested on Saturday by US Marshals in California on a warrant for three counts of vehicular homicide in connection with a deadly crash in Florida at around 3 pm last Thursday. The accident A truck driven by Harjinder Singh made a hard left turn on the Florida Turnpike near Fort Pierce and attempted to cross the median through an 'Official Use Only' pass, NY Post reported, quoting authorities. As it blocked all lanes of oncoming traffic, a minivan then slammed into the trailer at full speed, becoming wedged underneath and killing two passengers on the scene. The driver, who was rushed to a hospital, succumbed to his injuries later. Neither Singh nor a passenger in the semi-truck with him at the time was injured, the Florida Highway Patrol said. Singh is being held on a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer and faces three counts of vehicular homicide. 'The actions taken by the Defendant while operating a commercial tractor-trailer are both shocking and criminal," FLHSMV Director Dave Kerner reportedly said. 'Three people lost their lives as a result of his recklessness, and countless friends and family members will experience the pain of their loss forever,' Kerner added.

Based on a complaint, Koppal police have registered a case under the Pocso Act . The woman said in her complaint that Gavisiddappa forced her 16-year-old daughter to be in a relationship with him and raped her multiple times. "When we tried to convince him, he threatened to kill us. Even his father Ningajja, mother, and elder sister questioned our daughter's character. Gavisiddappa kept blackmailing our daughter saying he had her private videos. He raped her for two years and his father, mother and sister knew about it," she said. Meanwhile, in a memorandum sent to the home minister and senior police officers, a group of Muslim leaders alleged that Gavisiddappa fled with the girl in Nov 2024, and she was later admitted to hospital after being raped. Though it was a medico-legal case, police registered a case under the Pocso Act, and their negligence led to the murder.
