31 Jul 2025 | 5:38 PM
Lucknow, July 31 (UNI) Following the court verdict acquitting all accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, demanding a public apology for what he described as an 'unpardonable crime' of coining the term 'saffron terror.'
Taking to social media platform X today, CM Yogi wrote, 'The acquittal of all accused in the Malegaon blast case is a living proclamation of 'Satyamev Jayate' (truth alone triumphs). This verdict once again exposes the anti-Bharat, anti-justice, and anti-Sanatan character of Congress, which defamed millions of devotees, saints, and patriots by fabricating the false narrative of 'saffron terrorism'.'

Shotgun, Kukri seized from techie who tried to rob bank manager's house
The Pimpri Chinchwad police have arrested a 40-year-old software engineer and seized from him a shotgun, 19 shells and a Kukri knife after he barged into a bank manager's house in Pimple Gurav posing as a delivery man and attacked his two sons. Police said the techie, who hails from Manipur and was facing financial woes after losing his job last year, wanted to rob the bank manager whom he had met earlier. An FIR was registered at Sangvi police station against Sangboi Kom Serto (40), who hails from Moirang area of Manipur and has been living in Pune for more than 12 years working as a software engineer. The FIR has been registered by the 31-year-old son of the bank manager, who works as an analyst with an investment bank in Pune. The incident took place on July 31 and the FIR was registered on August 1. An officer from Sangvi police station said, 'The accused has been staying in Pune since 2012 and was working with a private firm. He lost his job in August last year. As he had purchased a house, he was facing financial issues related to repayment of debt. Investigation has revealed he knew the manager of the bank as he used to visit the bank. He decided to rob the bank manager for money. He followed the bank manager for some time and checked where he lives. On July 31, he went to the manager's house posed as a delivery executive.' 'The bank manager, who is in his late 50s, was not at home. His wife and two sons were at home. As one of the sons opened the door, the accused said he was there to deliver a parcel for his father. He asked for his father's identity proof. As the son went inside, the accused barged into the house, took out the shotgun from the bag he was carrying and threatened the manager's son to give all the valuables and money in the house,' the officer said. 'As the bank manager's son raised alarm, his other son also came out. As the two brothers tried to stop the accused, he hit them with the butt of the shotgun — one brother on the foot and another on the face. During the fight, the two brothers managed to take away the shotgun after which the accused took out the Kukri. But the brothers managed to overpower him and called the police. The brothers and their neighbour brought him to the police station after which he was arrested. We recovered from him the shotgun, 19 shells, the Kukri knife and a contraption of pipes he had made using pieces of plastic pipes to make them look like grenades. It did not have any explosive material. The probe has revealed he has a permit issued in Manipur for the shotgun.' Police have booked Serto under provision of the Arms Act and BNS sections 309 (6) which pertains to causing hurt during robbery, 312 (Attempt to commit robbery or dacoity when armed with deadly weapon) and 333 (House-trespass after preparation for hurt, assault or wrongful restraint).

Wanaparthy police arrest constable-turned-builder on loan fraud charge
A police constable-turned-builder accused of duping his own department's Bharatha scheme and multiple banks to the tune of Rs. 2.61 crore was arrested by the Wanaparthy police on Tuesday. The 37-year-old accused Bandaru Rakesh, who joined back to duty after a long leave of nearly nine years, fabricated documents to secure multiple loans from three houses, Wanaparthy Superintendent of Police Ravula Giridhar said at a press conference. He got selected as Armed Reserve constable in 2007 and got converted his service into Civil a couple of years later. Using the connection while serving as a civil constable, he entered real estate business and created his own venture of houses. He first sold one of the houses in his venture to his aide Sunkari Shekhar. He created fake documents stating that he had purchased the house from Shekhar and availed home loan from police department's Bhadratha scheme. 'Using the same details, he fabricated documents and secured home loans from Indian Overseas Bank, HDFC and LIC,' the SP said. With this modus operandi, he collected Rs. 89 lakh in the form of multiple bank loans. In the same fashion, he availed multiple home loans from different banks. The accused spent most of the money he had earned for his lavish lifestyle and ended up behind the bars, Mr. Giridhar said.

Infopark honey trap case: IT company owner, three others booked
Kochi, The Infopark honey trap case, in which a couple was recently arrested over allegations of attempting to extort crores of rupees from the owner of an IT company, has taken a twist, with police registering a sexual harassment case against the owner based on the complaint of the accused woman. Infopark honey trap case: IT company owner, three others booked Police registered the case on Tuesday against Venu Gopalakrishnan, the owner of the IT company in Kochi's Infopark, and three others after recording the woman's statement, which took several hours and continued until midnight on Monday. Investigators said various non-bailable sections of the BNS have been invoked, including Section 74 , Section 75 , Section 79 , Section 3 and Section 351 . A section of the Information Technology Act has also been applied against the accused, they said, adding that the alleged incidents occurred between February last year and July this year. "We are yet to summon the accused. An investigation is under way and we need to verify the details of the complaint," a senior police officer told PTI. Later in the day, the complainant, while speaking to a TV channel, made serious allegations against Gopalakrishnan, her former employer. She accused him of "implicating her and her husband in the honey trap case after she warned him that she would report the harassment she had suffered at the workplace to the company's internal grievance redressal cell". Neither Gopalakrishnan nor the other accused have responded to the allegations so far. Police, last week, had arrested the woman and her husband of trying to extort ₹30 crore from Gopalakrishnan by threatening to tarnish his reputation and implicate him in a false rape case. According to police, she and her husband, Krishna Raj, had spread rumours that she had an illicit relationship with the IT company owner. They then allegedly warned they would lodge a rape complaint against him unless he paid them. A team led by Central ACP Siby Tom arrested the couple and recovered the ₹20 crore cheque leaf and agreement papers from them, police had said.
