In a shocking incident in Bihar's Sitamarhi district, a Station House Officer and a Bihar Military Police (BMP) jawan were assaulted in Nepal while investigating a stolen bike. The two police personnel, SHO Ravikant Kumar and BMP constable Mukesh Kumar who went to Nepal without permission, were surrounded and beaten with sticks by locals.
The situation escalated until the Nepal Police intervened, rescuing and hospitalising the injured officers. SHO Kumar is now in Jaleshwar Hospital, Nepal, while BMP constable Mukesh Kumar is receiving treatment at the district hospital in Sitamarhi.
Following the incident, SP Amit Ranjan suspended SHO Kumar and the involved policemen with immediate effect for crossing the border without informing senior officers. Pupri SDPO has been tasked with investigating the matter.
A team from Bhitthamod police station was attacked while acting on intelligence that stolen Indian motorcycles were being used to smuggle liquor in Jaleshwar, Nepal. On Wednesday night, plainclothes officers entered Parsa Pateli village development committee in Ward No. 5 of Jaleshwar Nagar Palika. While questioning locals, the team was suddenly attacked by a mob.
SHO Kumar sustained serious injuries to his head, nose, and hand, while Constable Mukesh Kumar was also badly injured. Several other policemen received minor injuries. The crowd, unaware they were Indian policemen due to their lack of uniform, refused to recognize them as law enforcement.
This unauthorised cross-border action, carried out without informing senior officers, violated protocol and risked sparking an international incident. In response, the Bihar Police administration has made it clear that such negligence will not be tolerated.

Indonesia arrests foreign nationals in Bali on drugs charges that could carry the death penalty
Australian national identified as PR and an Indian national identified as HV were arrested for drug possession (Image credit: AP) Indonesian authorities on the tourist island of Bali on Thursday announced the arrests of several foreign nationals, including an Australian, an Indian, and an American, on suspicion of possessing narcotics, charges that could carry the death penalty. Customs officers at Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport arrested an Indian national with the initials HV, who was carrying a duffel bag, in the customs and excise inspection area on May 29. The officers found narcotic-related items in his belongings, authorities said. Following up on the interrogation of HV, later that day, officers from the National Narcotics Agency of Bali Province arrested an Australian man with the initials PR, who has been visiting Bali since 1988. PR asked HV to bring the duffel bag from Los Angeles to Bali, said I Made Sinar Subawa, an official from the narcotics agency, at a news conference. During a search at a house where he stayed, officers found some narcotics in the form of hashish, a cannabis concentrate product, that belonged to PR and had been purchased over the Telegram messaging app. The hashish was shipped from Los Angeles and Philippines before finally received in Bali, Subawa said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Sanitize & Smooth Clothes Fast with Philips Steamer Philips Garment Steamers Shop Now Undo Officers seized 191 grams (6.7 ounces) of hashish along with some candies consisting of tetrahydrocannabinol, and 488 grams (17.2 ounces) of marijuana. Both PR and HV are now suspected of dealing in narcotics, based on the evidence that was found with them, Subawa said. "PR is suspected of violating Indonesia's Narcotics Law which carries the death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment for a minimum of four years and a maximum of 12 years," said Subawa. Along with HV and PR, the agency also arrested WM, an American, on May 23 while he was collecting a package from a post office in Bali. An officer opened the package carried by WM and found seven pieces of silver packaging containing a total of 99 orange amphetamine pills and secured one white Apple iPhone brand cellphone. The agency, at a news conference in the city of Denpasar on Thursday presented the evidence, including marijuana and hashish, seized from the suspects. All suspects will undergo legal proceedings in Indonesia, including trial and sentencing. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime says Indonesia is a major drug-smuggling hub despite having some of the strictest drug laws in the world, in part because international drug syndicates target its young population. The Southeast Asian country has extremely strict drug laws, and convicted smugglers can face severe penalties, including the possibility of execution by firing squad. On Tuesday, three British nationals accused of smuggling nearly a kilogram (over two pounds) of cocaine into Indonesia were charged Tuesday in a court on Bali, while on May 27, an Australian man was arrested on suspicion of smuggling cocaine. If convicted, any or all of them could face the death penalty. About 530 people, including 96 foreigners, are on death row in Indonesia, mostly for drug-related crimes, latest figures from the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections show. Indonesia's last executions, of an Indonesian and three foreigners, were carried out in July 2016.

Sharmishtha Panoli gets interim bail, court asks police to ensure safety
The Calcutta High Court on Thursday granted interim bail to influencer Sharmishtha Panoli, who was arrested in connection with a controversial social media post linked to Operation Sindoor. Panoli, a fourth-year law student from Pune, was arrested by Kolkata Police last week from Gurugram, over allegations of hurting religious sentiments. The arrest came after a now-deleted video she posted online triggered widespread backlash for what were described as 'communal' remarks. Following the controversy, Panoli, 22, took down the video and issued a public apology. Granting her interim bail, the high court laid down specific conditions. Panoli has been prohibited from leaving the country without prior permission from the Chief Judicial Magistrate and has been asked to deposit a sum of ₹10,000. The court also took note of Panoli's earlier petition regarding threats to her safety and directed the Kolkata Police to take necessary action. The plea had been submitted before her arrest. Earlier this week, the court had denied interim bail, with Justice Partha Sarathi Chatterjee stating, 'Look, we have freedom of speech, but that doesn't mean you will go on to hurt others. Our country is diverse, with people from different castes, creeds, and religions. We must be cautious by saying this. So, the day after tomorrow. Heavens will not fall.' The high court had also directed the West Bengal government to submit the case diary on June 5. During the hearing, Panoli's lawyer argued that the complaint against her lacked substance, stating that her comments were part of an ongoing digital exchange between Indian and Pakistani users during Operation Sindoor—a counter-response by India following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people, mostly tourists. Her arrest has sparked political controversy in West Bengal, with the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) calling it an instance of 'selective enforcement". The party also accused the Kolkata Police of acting with 'uncharacteristic haste".
