Bhopal, Aug 19 (PTI) A female lawyer and civil judge aspirant, Archana Tiwari, who was reported missing while travelling on a train nearly two weeks ago, was traced in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Khiri town on Nepal border on Tuesday, a police official said.
Cops are bringing her back to Bhopal and after recording her statement, details of the entire episode will be known, he said.
Tiwari's kin earlier suspected that she was a victim of human trafficking and sought a CBI probe, but Lodha did not say anything about this angle.
According to police, the last location of the 29-year-old lawyer was traced to Itarsi station. After that, her mobile phone was found switched off.
Tiwari was a practicing lawyer at the Indore bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court. She was also preparing for a civil judge examination.

Lodha said Tiwari's last location was Itarsi station. PTI MAS RSY

FIR Against Rahul Gandhi's Driver After Bihar Cop Hit During 'Voter Adhikar Yatra'
An FIR was filed after Rahul Gandhi's vehicle hit a police constable during the Voter Adhikar Yatra in Nawada. Gandhi later assisted the injured officer as seen in PTI footage. An FIR has been lodged against the driver of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's vehicle after it hit a police constable in Bihar's Nawada district during the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra,' two days ago, officials said on Thursday. The incident took place two days ago on Tuesday when the constable, identified as Mahesh Kumar, posted as the bodyguard of Sadar SDPO Forest, fell in front of the Congress MP's vehicle when the convoy was passing through Bhagat Singh Chowk. He sustained injuries due to falling. Nawada Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhinav Dhiman confirmed the incident to news agency PTI and said, 'Yes, a case has been registered against the driver. Further details will be made known in due course." The victim in his complaint said that on the day of the rally, he was posted on law and order duty at Bhagat Singh Chowk. As soon as Gandhi's program ended at around 12:00 pm, he was hit by the car, due to which he suffered injuries. The SP had earlier said the constable tripped in front of a vehicle in the convoy, which "barely brushed against his feet", and sustained injuries. Meanwhile, the BJP slammed the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition over the incident. BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla shared a video on X in which a car carrying Rahul Gandhi was seen running over a police constable. The policeman was later seen limping. The footage quickly went viral on social media. 'Rahul Gandhi's car crushed a police constable who was critically injured. Dynast did not even get down to check on him," Poonawalla said in a post on X. Voter Adhikar Yatra ❎Crush Janta Yatra ✅✅Rahul Gandhi's car crushed a police constable who was critically injured.

Sri Lanka's former police chief remanded to judicial custody
Last Updated: Colombo, Aug 20 (PTI) Deshabandu Tennakoon, Sri Lanka's former chief of police, was on Thursday remanded to judicial custody till August 27, a second time in remand for him in five months. Tennakoon was arrested on Wednesday for his alleged role in cracking down the 2022 people's uprising termed the Aragalaya. He was produced in the Colombo Fort magistrate's court earlier in the morning. He tried to prevent arrest through court intervention but his anticipatory bail application was rejected by the court on Tuesday. Just two weeks ago, Tennakoon was formally sacked from the post of the inspector general through a parliamentary panel which investigated the charges of misconduct against him. Tennakoon, the then senior deputy inspector general in charge of the capital Colombo, was named a suspect in the case on the then government's crackdown of the peaceful protestors. Aragalaya led to the resignation of the then president Gotabaya Rajapaksa bowing to the demand that he resign over his inability to tackle the economic crisis. Violence erupted in the city on May 9, 2022 as the then government supporters assaulted the protesters. Tennakoon was accused of inaction to prevent the clashes. In March this year, after evading court on a separate case, Tennakoon was arrested and spent two weeks in remand custody before being released on bail. He was appointed the police chief in November 2023 despite the highest court sanctioning him for torture of a suspect under police custody. In July 2024, the Supreme Court suspended him from functioning as the police chief which led to his sacking through the parliamentary inquiry against him.
