Domestic help, wife steal cash, jewellery worth Rs 1.5cr; invest in FDs, real estate
Lucknow: A domestic help, aged around 40, and his wife were accused of stealing cash and jewellery worth approximately Rs 1.5 crore from a residence in Metro City, Paper Mill Colony, Nishatganj, Lucknow. The domestic help, originally from a village in Bihar, was employed by the family for several years, gaining their trust over time. This trust allowed him to become aware of the cash and jewellery kept in the house. It is alleged that the duo systematically stole cash and jewellery over the time. When the homeowner got suspicious, he confronted the domestic help, who confessed to stealing Rs 50 lakh cash and jewellery valued at approximately Rs 1 crore.

11 days on, no trace of aspirant civil judge missing from train
Bhopal: Mystery shrouds the disappearance of 29-year-old Archana Tiwari, a civil judge aspirant, who has been missing for over 11 days after boarding the Indore-Bilaspur Narmada Express on Aug 7. Despite massive searches across stations, forests, and now the Narmada river, no breakthrough has been achieved. Archana, a native of Katni, boarded coach B-3 to visit her family for Raksha Bandhan. When the train reached Katni, she was not on board. Her phone had switched off, and a missing report was lodged with Katni GRP. Passengers last saw her at Bhopal railway station. One co-passenger seated below her berth told police that around 11.30 pm, she climbed down, brushed against his leg, apologised, and walked towards the toilet — but never returned. Her family believes this may have been the moment the train was crossing the Narmada bridge between Budhni and Narmadapuram. Her bag was later found at Umaria station. Her phone's internet briefly switched on near Itarsi, suggesting she may have made a net call, before going silent again. Over the past week, GRP and local police have examined nearly 97 CCTVs across Narmadapuram, Pawarkheda, Itarsi and other stations, but the footage yielded no conclusive lead. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas Prices In Dubai Might Be More Affordable Than You Think Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Quote Search operations have since expanded to Budhni and Barkheda forests, and now the Narmada river at Kharraghat, where State Disaster Emergency Response Force (SDERF) teams have been deployed with support from her relatives. Archana's brothers Abhay and Anurag Tiwari have personally joined the investigations, scanning hours of CCTV footage with police in Itarsi. They have also accompanied the search teams to forest areas and the riverbank. Even as hopes dim, officials insist that a major disclosure could emerge soon.

Single slipper leads to arrest of 3 in murder case
Indore: Chandar Nagar police on Monday said they solved a sensational murder case as the cops used an unusual but crucial piece of evidence—a single slipper—to track down the three assailants responsible for the brutal killing of a 22-year-old man. The attackers, who intended to rob the victim, ended up with only Rs 70. The body of the victim, Arjun Yadav, was discovered on the night of August 9-10 in Navda Panth with 18-20 stab wounds, indicating an extremely violent assault. According to deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Rishikesh Meena, the meticulous investigation that followed relied heavily on the abandoned slipper found at the crime scene. As part of their investigation, police scoured over 300 CCTV footage from the area. During this process, officers spotted three men on a motorcycle, one of whom was noticeably without slippers. This observation became the central theory of the investigation. "We worked on the theory that they might be the accused who left their slipper at the spot," stated DCP Meena. By linking the footage, police successfully traced the suspects' movements towards Sadar Bazar. With the help of local informants, they were able to identify and arrest the three accused, Sahir, Sagir, and Amir. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo Police interrogation revealed that the trio planned the robbery to gather money for a trip. They targeted Yadav, but during the scuffle, Sagir allegedly stabbed him with a knife. Fearing that the victim might identify them, the three men continued to stab him, ultimately leading to his death. Despite the brutal nature of the crime, the attackers' loot amounted to a mere Rs 70. The 'Puma-branded slipper', dropped by one of the assailants as they fled the scene, became the key piece of evidence that connected them directly to the murder. The police team's quick action and meticulous investigation led to the case being cracked within days. "Senior officials have rewarded the team, and we will ensure that the accused receive harsh punishment," added DCP Meena, affirming the department's commitment to justice for the victim.
