Tapi DySP booked for demanding Rs 1.5 lakh bribe
Surat: Deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Nikita Shiroya of the SC-ST Cell in Tapi district and a head constable have been booked for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 1.5 lakh in connection with a case registered under the SC-ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and the Dowry Prohibition Act. According to Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) officials, Shiroya allegedly sought the money in exchange for not harassing eight people booked in the case. Head constable Narendra Gamit, who was also booked, is the writer for Shiroya. Two inspectors, SN Barot and DB. Mehta, from ACB's Field 3 (Intelligence Wing), laid a trap near Kakrapar police station following a complaint. According to case details, an offence had been lodged against the complainant, his family members, and two friends at Kakrapar police station. Shiroya was the investigating officer, assisted by Gamit. The duo initially demanded Rs 4 lakh to avoid arresting the complainant's relatives and friends and to spare them from harassment. After negotiations, the demand was brought down to Rs 1.5 lakh. Unwilling to pay, the complainant approached the ACB. During the trap operation, Gamit arrived in a private vehicle near L&T Colony Road to collect the money. However, on suspecting a trap, he fled in the vehicle without accepting the bribe.

Rose Bowl Concert horror goes viral: Woman beaten unconscious after accidentally spilling drink on man; netizens slam crowd control
In a shocking incident at Pasadena's Rose Bowl Stadium, a bizarre video surfaced on social media where a woman was seen being beaten unconscious by a man during a concert on Saturday night. The victim, who had travelled from Phoenix with her fiancé to see Grammy-winning band RÜFÜS DU SOL, was attacked following a spilt drink and a brief confrontation. Authorities are actively investigating the case and seeking the suspect. As soon as the video surfaced on social media, it quickly went viral. According to KTLA 5, the Arizona woman is currently recovering after a brutal beating over the weekend at a sold-out concert and doesn't want to be identified. The X (formerly called Twitter) shared a post on X with a caption reading, " Woman was beaten unconscious by a man during a concert at Pasadena's Rose Bowl Stadium The incident happened Saturday night after the victim and her fiancé drove from Phoenix to see Grammy Award–winning band RÜFÜS DU SOL The victim said that when she and her friend got to their seats, they accidentally spilled part of a drink on a man sitting in front of them 'We apologized immediately, but he yelled that it was intentional and ran off, leaving his companion behind… We apologised to her and thought it was over.' She has since contacted police, who confirmed they are actively working to identify the man." Arizona woman beaten by man during Rose Bowl goes viral The video is currently doing rounds on the internet; however, it's unclear what time exactly the incident unfolded, but the victim told KTLA that when the woman and her friend got to their seats, they accidentally spilt a bit of a drink on a man in front of them. The woman also quoted The Festive Owl, a music news outlet that first reported the incident, which said, 'We apologised immediately, but he yelled that it was intentional and ran off, leaving his companion behind." "We apologised to her and thought it was over." In the viral footage of the violent attack, the man can be seen launching into a group of people and throwing at least five punches back to back. However, someone behind him also tried to pull him out of the crowd. Arizona woman beaten unconscious by man during concert at Rose BowlAn Arizona woman who did not want to be identified is recovering after a brutal beating over the weekend at a sold-out concert in Pasadena's Rose Bowl Stadium that was captured on video and has since gone viral. Accused left the woman unconscious and bleeding As per the report, the unidentified concertgoer returned about a half hour later and began screaming at the victim and her friends, threatening violence. On the other hand, she said she tried de-escalating the situation by apologising again; the man punched her in the face, knocking her unconscious and causing significant bleeding. Since the footage has now gone viral, netizens have complained that the venue did a less-than-stellar job of managing the sold-out stadium show. Eyewitnesses and netizens slam the incident According to Grimy Goods, the independent Los Angeles-based music blog, "Among the long laundry list of complaints was crowd crushing in tunnels, people pushing in overcrowded stairs, aggressive drunk people, arguments, fans blocking exits, incredibly long shuttle lines, and, sadly, assault." Christina Molina, another attendee at the concert that night, was sitting a few rows behind the victim with her daughter and said, 'I literally had people pressed up against my back, all of them blocking that entire walkway,' she told KTLA. 'So, crowd control was nonexistent.' While one user asked, "Where was the fiancé!!!!????" "He's fighting a guy. She got in the way." One assumed, "The fact that no man intervened leads me to believe the woman assaulted him first. Stole from him. SOMETHING. There's definitely more to this." 'What serial killer hair cut is that? Geezus! Internet 🛜 we need to identify him,' one added. Another said, 'This is why women should always carry pepper spray.' 'Not a single man in that crowd. Absolutely pathetic that these "men" didn't step in and stop that.' 'Looks like a Grant... an Immigrant.'
