Two inter-state drug traffickers arrested in Meghalaya
Based on credible intelligence input, sleuths of the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) of Meghalaya Police intercepted a Meghalaya Transport Corporation (MTC) bus on the way to Shillong from Silchar in Barak Valley of Assam.
'During the search of the bus, the ANTF recovered 10.35 Kg of Marijuana. 2,736 Tramadol Hydrocholoride capsules, 6000 Nitrazapem tablets from the bus,' Vikash Kumar, the district
police chief of East Jaintia Hills, said.
Following the seizure, he said the ANTF arrested drug suppliers identified as Amol Nath of Silchar and Radika Ranjan Das of Tripura's Dholai district.
Preliminary investigations indicated that the duo are part of an interstate crime syndicate, involved in narcotics smuggling, Kumar said.
Meanwhile, police have booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and investigation is on to establish backward and forward linkages.

'Is it criminal to love?' SC calls for distinction between genuine romance among teens & Pocso offences
The Supreme Court on Tuesday stressed the importance of drawing a clear line between instances of rape and genuine romantic relationships involving young people on the cusp of adulthood. A bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and R Mahadevan observed that in today's world of co-educational institutions and universities, it is natural for youngsters to develop feelings for each other. "Now, they develop feelings for each other. Can you say it is criminal to love? We have to keep a distinction between a criminal act like rape, etc., from this," the bench said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 15 Most Beautiful Women in the World Undo "When there are genuine romantic cases, they like each other and they want to get married... Don't treat such cases the same as criminal cases," the bench added. The observations came during a hearing on a petition questioning whether the age of consent under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act — currently fixed at 18 years — should be lowered to 16. Live Events Romantic cases vs criminal charges The bench noted that when two adolescents are in a consensual relationship and wish to marry, treating such instances as criminal offences can be unjust. 'Don't equate genuine love with crime. We must keep in mind the realities of society,' Justice Nagarathna said. The court also noted the hardships faced by young couples, particularly in cases where the girl's parents lodge complaints under POCSO, resulting in the male partner being jailed. 'This is the harsh reality. Many such cases are filed to cover up elopements,' the bench pointed out. Senior advocate H S Phoolka, representing the petitioner organisation, urged the court to consider safeguards in such situations. The judges responded that it was for the police to determine whether a case involved kidnapping, trafficking, or a consensual relationship. Phoolka further informed the court that another bench was already examining the broader issue of age of consent. The matter has now been listed for August 26, with Phoolka expected to place on record previous apex court rulings on similar concerns. Centre's stance on age of consent The Union government has consistently defended the existing threshold of 18 years, describing it as a 'deliberate, well-considered, and coherent' policy intended to protect minors from exploitation. In its submissions in a related case, the Centre argued that reducing the age of consent or carving out exceptions for adolescent romance would not only be legally untenable but could also open dangerous loopholes for misuse.

Punjab and Haryana HC directs training of deputy commissioners, magistrates on SARFAESI Act, warns of contempt for delays
Taking serious note of repeated delays by district magistrates in implementing orders under Section 14 of the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest (SARFAESI) Act, the Punjab and Haryana High Court Wednesday directed the Chandigarh Judicial Academy to conduct orientation courses for deputy commissioners and chief judicial magistrates of Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh within a month. A division bench of Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Ramesh Kumari observed that despite clear judicial directions, district magistrates and subordinate revenue officers often 'sit over files' for months, frustrating the very scheme of the SARFAESI Act. Section 14 empowers the district magistrate or chief judicial magistrate to assist banks in taking possession of secured assets once default has been established. 'It is surprising that time and again, this court is confronted with petitions where banks complain that orders under Section 14 have not been executed,' Chief Justice Nagu remarked, adding that the law envisages passing of such orders within 30 to 60 days and their execution without delay. 'Merely because the statute does not prescribe a specific time frame for execution does not mean officials can let files gather dust,' the bench noted. The court pointed out that a coordinate bench in May 2024 laid down detailed procedures for district magistrates to follow while dealing with Section 14 applications. Yet, several officials either remain unaware of the order or are 'intentionally not complying with it', the bench said. During the hearing, counsel for banks highlighted that higher-value cases—often running into hundreds of crores—faced the longest delays, allegedly due to political or extraneous considerations. 'Smaller borrowers' cases get decided quickly, but in cases involving ₹100 crore and above, district magistrates either delay passing orders or do not implement them,' the bench was told. Rejecting any distinction between high- and low-value cases, the Chief Justice said: 'Debt recovery cannot be based on the amount involved. Applications should be dealt with on a first-in, first-out basis.' To address the widespread non-compliance, the bench ordered the Judicial Academy to hold a training programme for all deputy commissioners, district magistrates, and chief judicial magistrates. 'After participation, it is expected that they will perform their statutory duty of passing orders within 60 days and ensuring their execution expeditiously,' the bench directed. The court also issued a stern warning: if any district magistrate or deputy commissioner is found failing to comply with their duty under Section 14 after undergoing orientation, it would amount to contempt of court. The bench further underlined that the powers exercised under Section 14 are 'ministerial in nature' and do not involve any adjudicatory function. Referring to Supreme Court rulings, including R D Jain vs Capital First Ltd. (2023) and NKGSB Cooperative Bank vs Subir Chakravarty (2022), the judges reiterated that district magistrates are not quasi-judicial authorities in such matters and must act swiftly to aid banks. The order comes amid mounting complaints from banks across Punjab and Haryana about delays in recovering secured assets, particularly in cases where local political influence or farmer unions resist execution. The bench concluded that fixing accountability and providing orientation were now essential to ensure the law serves its intended purpose.

What Is The Online Gaming Bill? Inside The Blanket Ban, Big Exemptions, And Industry Fallout
Last Updated: Government says the Online Gaming Bill will protect users from predatory platforms and financial harm. But companies fear a blanket ban will push users to illegal offshore apps The Union government on Wednesday introduced a new bill in the Lok Sabha that seeks to prohibit online money gaming, including advertisements and financial transactions related to such platforms. Titled the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, the proposed law has triggered strong pushback from the gaming industry, which fears large-scale job losses, revenue disruption, and a shift of users to illegal offshore apps. Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw tabled the Bill amid opposition protests over the ongoing electoral roll revision in Bihar. As MPs raised slogans and waved placards, the government defended the legislation as a necessary step to tackle addiction, fraud, and financial exploitation linked to online money games. What Does The Online Gaming Bill Propose? It has five key components: Ban on online money gaming: The Bill prohibits offering, aiding, abetting, or promoting online money gaming services in India. It includes a complete ban on advertisements and a bar on financial institutions from processing transactions for such platforms. Applicable to all forms of betting: Importantly, the ban applies to all forms of online betting and gambling, including fantasy sports, poker, rummy, card games, and online lotteries—regardless of whether they are based on skill, chance, or a combination of both. Criminal penalties: Violations are non-bailable and carry steep penalties. Offering or operating online money games could result in up to three years of imprisonment or a fine of up to Rs 1 crore, while advertising or sponsoring them may attract up to two years in prison or a Rs 50 lakh fine. Financial intermediaries involved in such services face the same penalties as the platforms themselves. Corporate liability: Under Section 11(3), company directors, managers, and officers may be held personally responsible if offences occur with their consent, connivance, or due to their neglect. Independent or non-executive directors are exempt, provided they were not involved in the decision-making processes related to the offence. Warrantless search and arrest: The Bill authorises any officer appointed by the central government to enter and search 'any place" without a warrant if a person is reasonably suspected of committing or preparing to commit an offence under the Act. The term 'any place" is expansively defined to include buildings, vehicles, computer systems, virtual digital spaces, electronic records, and storage devices. They may override security systems and seize data or devices as necessary. These powers are derived from the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. The government has defended these powers as essential to 'curb the growing menace of online money gaming," which it says leads to addiction, financial ruin, mental health disorders, and growing incidents of fraud, money laundering, and even terror financing. What's Exempt: eSports And Online Social Games While the Bill seeks to prohibit money-based gaming, it explicitly draws a line between those platforms and other formats like eSports and online social games. Skill-based multiplayer video games, including those not involving financial stakes, are exempt from the prohibition. The government has also said it intends to promote and regulate such permissible formats to create a healthier online gaming ecosystem. Government Push For E-Sports And Social Gaming The Bill lays out a formal mechanism to support safe and constructive digital gaming. The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports will take charge of promoting e-sports through dedicated guidelines, training academies, and research platforms. Incentive schemes and awareness campaigns will be launched to integrate e-sports into broader youth and sports policy. For online social and educational games, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) will oversee development and distribution. Games aligned with Indian cultural values, digital literacy, and skill development will be promoted under a central framework. Online Gaming Authority To Oversee Compliance The Bill also calls for the creation of a national-level Online Gaming Authority, or the designation of an existing body to oversee implementation. This authority will be responsible for registering and categorising online games, deciding whether a game qualifies as a money game, and addressing complaints and grievances. It will also issue compliance guidelines, codes of conduct, and enforcement protocols. What Prompted The Government To Act? In his statement, Minister Vaishnaw said that online money gaming platforms often encourage compulsive behaviour, especially among younger users, leading to debt traps, mental health issues, and in extreme cases, even suicides. The government views this legislation as a preventive intervention, particularly as smartphone penetration grows in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Beyond public health concerns, the Centre also highlighted national security threats, stating that such platforms have been used for financial fraud, money laundering, and even terror financing and encrypted communication. What Is The Industry Saying? The online gaming industry, which employs over 2 lakh skilled professionals and has attracted Rs 25,000 crore in foreign investment, is warning that the proposed ban could cripple a growing sector. Three major industry bodies—the All India Gaming Federation (AIGF), E-Gaming Federation (EGF), and Federation of Indian Fantasy Sports (FIFS)—have jointly appealed to Home Minister Amit Shah for urgent intervention. Their primary concern is that a blanket ban on online money gaming could inadvertently push crores of genuine users toward illegal offshore platforms, increasing the risk of user exploitation and reducing regulatory oversight. According to a Times of India report, the industry fears the collapse of nearly four lakh companies, loss of lakhs of jobs, and an annual hit of Rs 20,000 crore to the government's GST collections. Executives from leading gaming firms told TOI that many platforms might have to shut down altogether, given the absence of a revenue model under the proposed law. Another significant concern revolves around the role of fantasy gaming companies in sports sponsorship. Executives argue that platforms operating real-money skill-based games are among the main sponsors of domestic leagues, particularly in cricket. Without their financial support, they warn, the grassroots talent pipeline in Indian sports could weaken. Prominent companies in the sector, including Dream11, Gameskraft, MPL, Games24x7, Nazara Technologies, Zupee, and WinZO, have also clarified that they do not engage in betting, gambling, money laundering, or terror financing. They assert that their operations are fully legal and regulated, with revenues built around skill-based real-money games. Key Concerns Raised By Industry Experts Experts in the sector say the Bill lacks clarity on whether skill-based money games—like fantasy sports or casual paid competitions—will be considered illegal. These formats have historically been recognised by courts as distinct from gambling, but the current draft makes no specific exemptions for them. This grey area has left companies and investors anxious. The absence of a transition plan has also sparked alarm. Executives argue that if the law is enacted, there must be clear protocols for winding down operations, refunding user balances, and safeguarding jobs. Without these, abrupt shutdowns could create chaos for millions of users and employees. There are also fears that legitimate Indian platforms may be forced to relocate operations offshore to avoid legal risks. This could open the door to unregulated foreign apps with poor security and minimal user protection, increasing consumer vulnerability. Industry voices suggest that instead of banning, India could follow models used in the UK, US, and Australia, which regulate online gaming through licensing, compliance audits, and advertising restrictions. They also point out that India already had a regulatory start in 2023, when the Centre introduced rules requiring self-regulatory organisations to vet real-money games before they could be offered. Instead of scrapping that system, they say, the government should build on it with tighter supervision. top videos View all What Happens Next? The Bill was introduced on Wednesday in the Lok Sabha and is expected to be debated in the current session. If passed, it would become India's first central legislation on online gaming. The government has so far held firm on the need for a strong regulatory crackdown, but with industry groups raising alarms and legal challenges likely, it remains to be seen whether the final version of the law will reflect any of the concerns voiced by stakeholders.
