UPSC Aspirant, 25, Dies By Suicide In Delhi's Old Rajinder Nagar Area: Cops
A 25-year-old UPSC aspirant, Tarun Thakur, allegedly died by suicide in his rented accommodation in Old Rajinder Nagar, Delhi. He was found hanging from the ceiling fan.
Delhi Police received a PCR call at 18:32 hours on July 19.
A suicide note was recovered from the spot, in which the victim held himself responsible for taking this step.
According to Delhi Police, he was a resident of Jammu. During the inquiry, it was revealed that the father of the victim had tried to contact him multiple times since morning, but received no response.
The victim's father then contacted the house owner and requested him to check. The owner accessed the second floor of the house, which had been rented to the victim, and found the room locked from the inside. He then entered an adjacent room having a common balcony, from where he saw the victim hanging inside the room. He immediately informed the police.
The room was opened, and an inspection was carried out. Police recovered his phone at his residence, where he had been residing for the last year. There are seven rooms on the second floor, all rented to UPSC aspirants.
The police informed Tarun's brother, Davinder, who resides in Gurugram.
They are currently conducting an inquiry and inspection.
In a separate case, a BDS student from a private university in Greater Noida allegedly died by suicide in her hostel room on Friday, said police.
Two university staff members were taken into custody in connection with the case, based on a written complaint filed by the student's family.
The victim's brother, Devender, said his sister took the extreme step due to the constant torment she faced. He further urged authorities to take action against the remaining suspects.
"My sister committed suicide after being mentally harassed by management and a lecturer, which led her to take this difficult step. After the FIR was filed, police arrested some of the accused whose names she mentioned in her suicide note. However, there are 3-4 more accused for whom no action has been taken. We are urging authorities to take strict action against them as soon as possible," Devender told ANI.

Manjha Sellers Keep It Going Despite Ban
New Delhi: Investigations into recent seizures of Chinese manjha revealed a worrying surge in the covert sale of this banned and dangerous kite string across various markets in the city, especially as Independence Day approached—a time when kite flying reaches a high. Despite the ban, sellers found new ways every year to evade law enforcement authorities while continuing the trade. During the recent crackdowns, police found that Chinese manjha was being sold discreetly using code words and through advance bookings. The string was delivered to buyers at pre-decided locations to avoid detection. According to police sources, sellers communicated with potential buyers through encrypted messaging apps or platforms like WhatsApp. In some cases, specific code names were used to refer to Chinese manjha in online chats. So far, Delhi Police has seized over 1,500 reels of this lethal thread. "After crackdowns begin every year, sellers often shift operations online. They use code words and encrypted apps to communicate. We've seen cases where buyers and sellers interact and decide drop-off points through messages to stay anonymous," said an investigator. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

"Before fulfilling an order, the supplier often conducts a recce of the buyer to confirm his identity and ensure that he isn't part of a police trap. Only after verifying that the person is genuine, the delivery is made." Each Chinese manjha spool costs anywhere between Rs 700 and Rs 2,000, depending on demand and availability. Buyers are often asked to pay extra for delivery. One of the crackdowns occurred in June when a team led by inspector Sunil Kumar Kalkhande, under the supervision of DCP (crime) Vikram Singh, found 1,170 reels of Chinese manjha from Kamla Market and Jeevan Park in Uttam Nagar. Two persons were arrested. In separate operations, 325 reels were seized from northeast Delhi's Nand Nagri and 31 from Gokalpuri. In June, a youth on a scooter was killed in north Delhi when his throat was slit by a Chinese manjha on Rani Jhansi Road in north Delhi's Bara Hindu Rao. The deceased was identified as 22-year-old Yash Goswami, a spare parts business owner. In another incident, a two-wheeler rider was injured after his face came in contact with a kite string on the Shastri Park flyover in east Delhi.

Court Allows Association Of The Victims Of Uphaar Tragedy To Assist Prosecution In Case Against Sushil Ansal
New Delhi: A Delhi court allowed the Association of the Victims of Uphaar Tragedy (AVUT) to assist the prosecution in a case against Sushil Ansal for purported fraud while renewing his passport. Ansal was convicted in the 1997 Uphaar cinema fire case. During the screening of Hindi film 'Border' on June 13, 1997, the fire claimed 59 lives. The court of chief judicial magistrate Shriya Agarwal on Aug 4 said, "The association at the instance of which the law was set into motion in the present case ought to get a right of assisting the prosecution, to which… there is no bar in law."

The FIR was registered against Ansal by the Delhi Police's crime branch in 2019 under the Passport Act provision for obtaining a passport by suppressing information about nationality. It was also registered under various BNS sections, including 177 (knowingly furnishing false information to a public servant), 181 (false statement on oath or affirmation to a public servant or person authorised to administer oath), 192 (fabricating false evidence), 197 (issuing or signing a false certificate), and 420 (cheating). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Installing Solar Panels in Algeria Might Be Cheaper Then You Think Search | Solar Panels Undo The judge said that AVUT was at liberty to assist the prosecution in the present case and that no prejudice would be caused to the accused by the same. Senior advocate Vikas Pahwa, appearing for the association, said the present case was registered by a Delhi High Court order in a writ petition filed by AVUT, and so an effective right of participation could be given to the association. Delhi Police, in its eight-page final report filed earlier, claimed that Ansal misled the govt authority on oath that he was not convicted in any criminal proceedings by any court. The case was lodged on the direction of Delhi High Court while hearing a petition by Krishnamoorthy, alleging that Ansal concealed or gave false information to the authorities for the renewal of his passport. Ansal, however, surrendered his passport on Aug 14, 2017, because he knew that adverse orders against him might well be passed, the final report said. Krishnamoorthy, who lost two children in the tragedy, has been fighting a legal battle on behalf of the victims' families for over two decades. According to the rules, the passport application for new/re-issue/replacement of lost/damaged passport issued by the union ministry of external affairs mandates the applicant to disclose whether he is involved in any criminal case or not and to produce the NOC from the concerned court in case they are involved in any criminal prosecution.
