37 criminals arrested in 33 encounters in Pratapgarh in past 11 months
1 2 P rayagraj: In the past 11 months, as many as 37 criminals were arrested along with their 54 accomplices in a total of 33 police encounters in the neighbouring Pratapgarh district. Most of these criminals carried cash rewards ranging from Rs 25,000 to Rs 50,000 for their arrest. Pratapgarh police also arrested over 110 gangsters and history-sheeters,. SP (Pratapgarh) Dr Anil Kumar told TOI, "Cops have demonstrated excellent competence in surveillance and crime prevention, particularly in monitoring criminal activities involving gangsters and history-sheeters." In the past week, five criminals with criminal records and wanted by police in Pratapgarh, Amethi, Sultanpur, and other districts were injured in separate encounters in Lalganj, Baghrai, Kandhai, Leelapur, and Sangipur police circles. Notorious criminals, including Panchlal Verma, Hasamtullah, Virendra Yadav, Pinku and Abdul Rab, were also injured and arrested in separate encounters. Interestingly, women cops have also played vital roles in building an intelligence network to tighten the noose around criminals and gangsters and even managed to arrest seven women with criminal records so far. As part of Pratapgarh district police's enhanced crime-fighting initiative, cops posted in all 26 police stations were assigned one specific target (one cop – one criminal) to enlist criminals circle/thana-wise, surveil their activities and ensure stern actions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Additionally, anti-Romeo squad members are also engaged with women and girls in the community, raising awareness about emergency helplines such as 1090, 1076, and Dial 112. The SP, meanwhile, said, "To build up an intelligence network of gangsters, history-sheeters, and professional criminals, every beat constable, both men and women, are being assigned special tasks to maintain a strict eye on the activities of wanted criminals and initiate concrete action to ensure their arrests in all 26 police stations of the district." The SP claims that the revised strategy has helped cops compile updated inputs on lawbreakers as well as a new beat system where officers focus on specific criminals in their designated areas. Moreover, outstanding performance is recognised through cash rewards and certificates, and over 70 policemen were felicitated with rewards and certificates. Notably, all beat constables are armed with the 'Prahari' app, wherein they are updating details of prominent places in their area, reputed persons, updates on criminals and gangsters whether lodged in jail or on bail, religious places, banks, etc. According to the SP, officers have compiled thana-wise lists of criminals, implementing a one officer-one criminal monitoring system to dismantle criminal networks in the district and surrounding areas. Pratapgarh police have also recorded the highest number of FIRs under the Gangsters Act (exceeding 130) in the state. Both male and female police officers received recognition for their achievements. Women officers particularly excelled in intelligence gathering (Suragkasi), leading to the arrest of more than 30 suspects involved in vehicle theft and robbery.

Ukraine Offers Civilians Rs 2 Lakh A Month To Shoot Down Russian Drones
Last Updated: Ukraine to pay civilians ₹2.2 lakh a month for shooting down Russian drones under new program. Ukraine will pay civilians up to 100,000 hryvnias (around ₹2.2 lakh or $2,400) a month to shoot down Russian drones as part of a new volunteer program approved by the government, Ukrainian news agency Kyiv Post said in a report. The initiative, proposed by the Ministry of Defence, was cleared by the Cabinet of Ministers and announced by government representative Taras Melnychuk on Telegram. The payments will come from local budgets and the scheme will operate during martial law for a maximum period of two years. Drones have become central to both Russian and Ukrainian strategy, employed for surveillance, kamikaze strikes and air-defence suppression. Russia extensively deploys Iranian-made Shahed kamikazes to target Ukrainian infrastructure and energy grids, launching hundreds in waves that disable power systems and disrupt lives. Ukraine, in turn, fields an expanding drone arsenal. Drones such as Turkish Bayraktar TB2s and homegrown FPV and AI-enabled models like those in 'Operation Spiderweb" are capable of deep strikes on Russian bases, fuel depots, ammunition stores and airfields. The new Ukrainian drone defense program will enlist trained volunteers and members of paramilitary and territorial defense units with drone operation skills. Under the government-backed scheme, these recruits will help counter Russian aerial threats by spotting, tracking, and shooting down enemy drones using UAVs, firearms, or piloted aircraft. Ukraine said it had received the bodies of more than 1,200 soldiers, handed over by Moscow, part of a repatriation deal the two sides agreed at talks last week. Russia has fired record numbers of drones and missiles at Ukraine over recent weeks, escalating three years of daily bombardments as it outlines hardline demands — rejected by Kyiv as 'ultimatums" — to halt its three-year invasion. The northeastern city of Kharkiv, just 30 kilometres (18 miles) from the Russian border, again bore the brunt of the attack. First Published: June 11, 2025, 23:40 IST
