252 booked in weekend drunk drive check across Cyberabad
A weekend special drive by the Cyberabad Traffic Police ended with 252 motorists being booked for driving under the influence of alcohol — all of them men.
The operation, aimed at cracking down on drunk driving, saw two-wheelers topping the list with 199 seizures, followed by 43 four-wheelers and 10 three-wheelers. No heavy vehicles were involved.
The highest number of cases came from Miyapur Traffic Police Station with 44 bookings, while Chevella and Shadnagar trailed at 32 and 23 respectively. The bulk of the offenders — 179 individuals — were aged between 21 and 40, an age group that clearly isn't learning its lesson. Meanwhile, the over-60s were booked with just five cases.
Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) levels revealed that 147 drivers were operating with BAC levels up to 100 mg/100 ml, 81 with levels between 101 and 300 mg/100 ml, and six with levels above 301 mg/100 ml, practically pickled behind the wheel.
All the accused will be presented before court. The Cyberabad Traffic Police reiterated that any case of drunk driving leading to a fatal accident would attract charges under Section 105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) with a potential prison term of up to 10 years and a fine.

Delhi: 9-year-old sexually assaulted, killed, body stuffed in bag
In a gruesome murder that unfolded on Saturday evening, a nine-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted and murdered by her 30-year-old neighbour at his house near Dayalpur in northeast Delhi, after which he stuffed her body in a suitcase to hide it, police officers said on Sunday. The accused went absconding shortly after the girl's family started searching for her. Police have identified him and have initiated a search, officers said. The grisly crime led to widespread outrage in the area, with the family members of the girl and locals staging a protest. Security personnel were deployed in the area to ensure law and order, officers said. According to police and the family members, the girl, a Class 5 student at a local government school and a resident of Dayalpur, left her house at around 7pm to give 'ice to another relative who lives nearby. While on her way, the accused, who lives in a second floor flat in a six-storey building in the area, allegedly asked the girl to come to his house on the pretext of delivering his house keys which had fallen on the road, police said. Locals and her family alleged that he had deliberately thrown the keys to convince the girl to come. Around 7.30pm, when the girl did not return, the family enquired about her from the relative, but they told him that she had not come to their house. The family then began a search. The family said they did not know who the original owner of the house was. The accused took advantage of the fact and absconded, said a police officer, asking not to be named. When the family came to know about the man's disappearance, they immediately broke open the door of his house. On entering, they found a suitcase on the floor. When they opened it, they found the girl's body stuffed inside, with injury marks on her lips and face. 'She was unconscious and unresponsive. She was partially undressed, and bleeding from her genitalia. We rushed her to a nearby nursing home, where doctors declared her dead. On examination, they found that she was sexually assaulted,' the girl's 42-year-old father said. Joint commissioner of police (east) Vijay Kumar said they were informed at 8.41pm Saturday. Police reached the spot, and found the girl had been taken to a hospital by her father, where she was declared brought dead. 'Prima facie, doctors observed visible injuries on her face and alleged sexual assault,' he said. Police suspect that the girl died due to smothering or strangulation. The exact reason will be established on the basis of a pending autopsy report. A case of murder and sexual assault was registered under sections 103 and 66 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and Section 6 of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act. Police said the accused is mini-goods vehicle driver, married and is originally from Hapur in UP. 'Teams are conducting raids to nab the accused, who has been identified,' said Kumar. The girl is survived by her parents, grandparents and two younger brothers. The crime sparked outrage in the area — locals and the girl's relatives allegedly vandalised the house of the accused on Saturday night, while on Sunday, nearly 200 people staged a protest at Dayalpur Nala Road, disrupting traffic movement. Security personnel, including personnel from Tripura State Rifles, were deployed in the neighbourhood. Political parties also reacted to the grisly crime. The AAP criticised the ruling BJP — former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said the law and order situation has worsened under the current regime. While Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva too condemned the crime and demanded arrest of the accused, he hit back at the AAP for politicising the issue. 'To reduce these incidents to mere law and order issues is political cunningness.'

Despite opposition from Mandeep's family, they got married and went to live together at an unknown location. Sarita said that on June 7, Mandeep's brothers — Vikramjit, Jaswinder, and Narinder Singh — along with their uncle Manjeet Singh and an associate named Kaushal, came to their house and demanded to know the couple's location. When the family said they didn't know, the group forcefully took Jayant Kumar with them. 'They kidnapped my husband and left. I saw Kaushal, my son's friend, helping them. I called the police right away,' said Sarita. She added that after the police contacted the accused, they sent her husband back in an auto-rickshaw. He had been badly beaten.
