Her husband, Darbari Singh, told the reporters that Ram Lalli had been defending her grandson Raj since his name surfaced in Raja Raghuvanshi's murder as the key accused, claiming that he was innocent and was being framed in the Meghalaya murder case.
Talking to the media, Singh said that Raj was falsely implicated due to which his grandmother was upset.

2 with Chinese link arrested for cheating woman of Rs 21 lakh: Delhi Police
Two men were arrested by the Delhi Police Thursday for allegedly cheating a woman of Rs 21 lakh with promises of lucrative returns on investments. According to the police, the arrested men received help from Chinese nationals to commit the crime. The woman registered an online complaint with the police, alleging that the fraudsters would show her a fake investment application displaying her profits, losses, and investment details like any other app. The woman, convinced by the app's dashboard, deposited her money in three different bank accounts while they remained in touch with her through Telegram and WhatsApp, said the police. 'On further scrutiny, it was found that the digital footprints of the WhatsApp and Telegram accounts, as well as the access points for the alleged bank accounts, were linked to different foreign countries. Moreover, the bank account holders were not residing at the addresses mentioned in the banking records, making it difficult to trace them,' said Bhisham Singh, Deputy Commissioner of Police (North West). 'Despite these challenges, digital footprints of the actual account operators were extracted using both open and restricted sources. With a mix of manual efforts and technical intelligence, the accused persons were identified as Pawan and Mankiraat Dhillon,' the DCP added. The police said they traced Pawan, 29, and Dhillon, 36, to a hideout in Mohali in Punjab. They allegedly confessed that Pawan was in touch with Chinese nationals through Telegram and helped them procure bank accounts. The police said Dhillon, who was facing financial strain, opened a bank account in his wife's name to receive the proceeds of the crimes the two committed. The two had also travelled to Nepal with the help of their Chinese counterparts, where they received their commission in a bank account registered there with the help of their foreign associates. The police recovered their flight tickets, hotel bill, debit card, cheque book, and bank passbook, along with a mobile phone and SIM card. The two have been booked under Section 318(4) (cheating) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

Sonam Raghuvanshi saved ‘lover' Raj's number as ‘Sanjay Verma', made 234 calls in 39 days span
A major breakthrough has emerged in the investigation into the murder of Indore-based businessman Raja Raghuvanshi, with Meghalaya Police revealing that the mysterious contact 'Sanjay Verma' saved on prime accused Sonam Raghuvanshi's phone was actually her alleged lover and co-conspirator Raj Kushwaha. According to East Khasi Hills Superintendent of Police Vivek Syiem, Sonam had saved Kushwaha's number under a fictitious name to allegedly avoid suspicion. 'Sanjay Verma is just a fictitious name registered in Truecaller, and the real person holding that SIM number is actually Raj Kushwaha,' PTI quoted SP Syiem as saying. Meanwhile, probe revealed that Sonam and Raj exchanged 234 phone calls between March 1 and April 8 — each call lasting between 30 and 60 minutes, reported NDTV citing official records. Also Read | Who is Sanjay Verma, whom Sonam Raghuvanshi called 100 times before marriage? Earlier, Sonamh's brother Govind Raghuvanshi had told reporters on Wednesday that he had no knowledge of any 'Sanjay Verma.' 'I don't know anything about Sanjay Verma... I also learned today that Sanjay's name is coming up in this,' he told the media. Govind also agreed to undergo a narco test, as requested by Raja's family. 'Whatever truth there was, I have shared almost everything with the media and with them... I also want that if they are demanding a narco test, then it should definitely be conducted,' he told ANI. He added that Sonam likely took 'around ₹10,000 to ₹20,000 in cash,' and a couple of phones, but most valuables, including jewellery, were left behind. 'She definitely took two mobile phones — one office phone and one personal phone,' Govind said. Also Read | Where did Sonam Raghuvanshi hide Raja Raghuvanshi's jewellery? What police said The Meghalaya Police team has been questioning family members of both Sonam and Raj Kushwaha to determine if there was any motive beyond the alleged affair that led to the murder. "The investigators are trying to find out whether there was any other factor or motive," a senior official told PTI. Raja Raghuvanshi, 29, married Sonam on May 11. The couple travelled to Meghalaya on May 20, and Raja went missing on May 23. His body was found 10 days later. After some days, Sonam surrendered in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur on June 8, while Kushwaha and his associates — Vishal Chauhan, Akash Rajput, and Anand Kurmi — were arrested from different parts of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. All five have been arrested for their alleged roles in planning and executing the murder.

Husband turns whistleblower, GHMC engineer booked for bribery; ACB probe in Hyderabad uncovers cash trail, digital evidence & irregularities in Rs 400 crore contract clearances
HYDERABAD: It's not every day that a corruption probe begins with a person walking into the anti-corruption bureau (ACB) office -armed with videos, screenshots and a bank trail against one's spouse. But, that's exactly how G Divya Jyothi, a former deputy executive engineer of Manikonda municipality and now with Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), came under scrutiny. In an unusual twist, her husband turned whistleblower, accusing her of collecting lakhs in bribes from contractors in exchange for fast-tracking their bills. She dismissed the complaint as a "personal grudge" rooted in a strained marriage. But the ACB saw more than just domestic discord. After a swift probe, officials said the evidence pointed to abuse of public office. Now, a case under the Prevention of Corruption Act has been registered against Jyothi and unnamed others, based on the complaint lodged by Jyothi's husband Sripad Suvarna on Oct 11, 2024. Jyothi, who served in Manikonda from Nov 2021 to Oct 2024 before being transferred to GHMC, is accused of clearing contractors' bills worth Rs 400 crore during her tenure, allegedly in return for bribes. Suvarna claimed that on Jyothi's instructions, contractors deposited bribe money directly into his SBI account in Manthani, and that part of the money was routed to her brother Sarath Kumar Gurappa, an employee at BDL. He submitted a cache of evidence - bank statements, UPI screenshots, WhatsApp chats, and DVDs containing video and audio clips - to back his allegations. He also submitted a video showing bundles of bank notes stashed at their Manikonda residence. Sent money to GHMC engg under pressure: Contractors The FIR named three contractors - K Anil Kumar (Sri Tirumala LCSS and Seven Hills Enterprises), P Naveen Kumar (P Ganesh Contractors) and R Praveen Kumar (Raja Rajeshwari Constructions) - who allegedly made the payments. At least two of them admitted, during the preliminary inquiry, that they transferred money under pressure, unaware that the account belonged to Jyothi's husband. As part of the inquiry, ACB obtained files from the Manikonda municipal commissioner. Officials confirmed that Jyothi had exclusive authority over estimation, inspections and sanctioning of engineering works. One instance that raised a red flag was a 40 lakh contract for the 'supply and fixing of children's play equipment in all parks in Manikonda municipality.' Awarded to Sri Tirumala LCSS, Anil Kumar transferred 9 lakh into Suvarna's account while the file was still pending with Jyothi. The work order, the ACB found, was processed without the signatures of the assistant engineer and the municipal commissioner. Measurement records lacked details of execution sites, but bills worth 31 lakh and 7 lakh were nonetheless cleared in May and June 2022. Adding to the irregularities, the agreement value of 44 lakh exceeded the sanctioned budget by 4.5 lakh, but no supplementary approval was recorded. WhatsApp messages and digital payment records aligned with the complainant's allegations. Based on these findings, the ACB submitted a report to its director general on April 25, 2025, following which a case was registered under section 7(A) of the Prevention of Corruption Act against Jyothi and unnamed others. The FIR states, "It is revealed that Jyothi dishonestly demanded and accepted bribe amounts from various contractors of the municipality to facilitate the processing of their contract work through her office."
