Presence of teen driver in Porsche crash among minors sought for counselling session at new JJB centre
Pune: The
District Legal Services Authority
(DLSA) has urged the
Juvenile Justice Board
(JJB) in the city to secure on 'voluntary basis' the presence of the teenage driver involved in last year's Porsche Taycan car crash, along with minors out on bail in other crimes, for a session on May 5 at a newly opened
child-friendly counselling centre
on JJB premises in Yerawada.
Principal district and sessions judge Mahendra Mahajan, who is also the DLSA chairman, inaugurated the new centre on April 28 — a joint initiative of DLSA, Women And Child Development Department, and Hope For The Children Foundation.
"The centre aims to secure a new opportunity for children in conflict with law (CCL) below 18 years, reshape their lives and hopes and develop them into strong, capable, and responsible citizens," Mahajan said in a statement.
"The counselling centre will provide a safe, reliable, and understanding platform for these children," Mahajan said, stressing on the need for addressing the emotional and mental needs of children at the root.

Sonal Patil, the DLSA secretary said, "Continuous counselling will help CCLs to achieve a strong mental health and inspire them to become responsible citizens in future. CCLs at times don't understand the consequences of crime; we would be referring them to a series of experts to bring them into the mainstream competition and apprise them of govt schemes, vocational training, and skill development courses meant for their welfare and rehabilitation so that they give up crime."
Additional JJB-2 sanctioned to expedite trial against minors
The state govt has sanctioned an additional JJB-2 at Yerawada to help the existing JJB-1 expedite the trial of more than 4,931 cases from Pune, Pimpri Chinchwad, and Pune rural areas. Pune district and sessions court had submitted a proposal regarding this in 2024 to reduce the case load on the existing board. The Bombay high court on April 24 communicated to the district court that it has cleared the proposal and the state govt too has cleared the same. The JJB-2 will comprise of a woman judicial officer and two nominated members and other staffers and is expected to become functional in a couple of months. Nearly 2,600 cases would be transferred to the additional JJB to expedite trial against the minors. |

"There has to be a BETTER way," says Kim Kardashian against ICE Raids; Donald Trump's administration responds
Kim Kardashian, the American socialite, voiced out her concerns regarding the ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Los Angeles, USA. The raids against immigrant communities have caused widespread protests in response to President Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard and Marine Troops. What did Kim Kardashian say? In an Instagram story posted by the 44-year-old reality star, she called the raids 'inhumane,' stating that the immigrant communities have contributed to the fabric of the city. Requesting justice for the communities, Kardashian, who has been an ally of Trump, urged to find a better way. 'When we're told that ICE exists to keep our country safe and remove violent criminals — great. But when we witness innocent, hardworking people being ripped from their families in inhumane ways, we have to speak up. We have to do what's right,' Kim expressed her disappointment. 'Growing up in LA, I've seen how deeply immigrants are woven into the fabric of this city. They are our neighbours, friends, classmates, co-workers, and family. No matter where you fall politically, it's clear that our communities thrive because of the contributions of immigrants. We can't turn a blind eye when fear and injustice keep people from living their lives freely and safely. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo There HAS to be a BETTER way,' she added.

Bizarre but true: UP woman blames husband for losing 2 Instagram followers— Files police complaint
Representative image Sometimes real life is stranger than fiction, and a recent incident in Uttar Pradesh (UP) is an example of this. A strange marital dispute over social media turned into a police matter in Uttar Pradesh after a woman claimed her husband's household demands caused her to lose two Instagram followers! According to a report by News18, Nisha, from Hapur in UP, approached the Women's Police Station after she noticed her Instagram followers dropped by two people. She blamed her husband, Vijendra— with whom she lived in Noida— for forcing her to spend more time on chores and less on Instagram. She said this shift in priorities led to a drop in her follower count, which left her upset enough to leave him and return to her parental home in Pilkhuwa. The couple reportedly had ongoing disagreements, with Vijendra asking Nisha to reduce the time she spent on Instagram and focus more on household responsibilities. Nisha admitted that when she followed his suggestion, she could no longer maintain her routine of posting two Reels a day—and eventually lost two followers. 'My followers declined as I was kept busy washing utensils and cleaning the house by my husband. I didn't get time to make Reels,' she reportedly told police, according to Deccan Herald. Not just this, Vijendra also filed a counter-complaint, stating that Nisha was constantly on Instagram and neglected her domestic duties. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like La Bouille: À 29€/mois, cette mutuelle senior assure une protection totale Prio Santé En savoir plus Undo The standoff led both parties to the Women's Police Station in Hapur, where Station In-Charge Aruna Rai listened to both sides for nearly four hours. The couple was counselled on the importance of balancing personal interests with responsibilities and maintaining harmony in marriage. While the case didn't lead to formal charges, it certainly highlights the strange ways in which social media can influence personal relationships today— sometimes, all the way to the police station. 5 ways social media can adversely affect relationships 1. Jealousy and insecurity Constantly seeing your partner like, follow, or comment on someone else's posts on social media can trigger unnecessary jealousy or insecurity, thus leading to fights and distrust in the relationship. 2. Unrealistic expectations Social media often showcases only the best parts of others' lives and relationships. This leads to unnecessary comparisons in your relationship. 3. Reduced quality time Endless scrolling during meals, conversations, or quality moments can make your partner feel ignored or unimportant. 4. Lack of privacy Sharing personal details or relationship issues online can invite unwanted opinions or judgment. Oversharing can also breach your partner's sense of privacy, leading to conflict or embarrassment. 5. Temptation and emotional affairs Social media makes it easy to reconnect with old flames or engage in secret chats. What may start as casual flirting can sometimes evolve into emotional cheating, damaging trust and loyalty in the relationship. One step to a healthier you—join Times Health+ Yoga and feel the change
