Rape survivor still in trauma as college reopens doors
The survivor's father spoke to TOI in detail on Monday, the day when the law college reopened for the first time after the discovery of the crime. "She keeps asking me just one question: 'What will happen to me if the monster (prime accused Monojit Mishra) gets out of jail?' She is still in severe trauma," he added.
The family was focused on two things — helping the legal process get justice for their daughter and supporting her through this traumatic period — the dad said.
"We want to refrain from commenting on the court's decision (after the trial is over) but we strongly believe that the culprit and his associates should receive the maximum possible punishment," he added.

Gang busted for Rs 50 lakh loan fraud using forged salary slips; 2 held in Indore
INDORE: Vijay Nagar police busted a gang involved in large-scale loan fraud using forged salary slips of a reputed company and arrested two men in this connection on Saturday. 'The accused were operating a sophisticated scam by exploiting loopholes in the banking system and presenting themselves as salaried employees of Blue Star Company to secure personal and vehicle loans worth several lakhs from multiple banks,' said ACP Aditya Patle. 'The fraud came to light following a complaint from HDFC Bank, which reported suspicious documents submitted during a loan application. The documents included fake salary slips and account statements showing regular salary credits from Blue Star Company,' he said. During the investigation, it was found that the accused had opened a current account in the name of Blue Star using forged GST and business registration documents under the name of an AC technician associated with the company. They regularly transferred fixed amounts from this fake company account to their own and their associates' accounts, portraying them as monthly salaries. The arrested accused have been identified as Ravi Kumar Pal (32), a resident of Sadar Pur, Noida, and Devendra Singh (30), a resident of Aanshal Town, Meerut. Both confessed during interrogation to having obtained documents like Aadhaar and PAN cards in fabricated names. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why! Techno Mag Learn More Undo 'Devendra, for instance, opened a private bank account in the name of a fictitious person, Dev Sharma, and used that to secure an Rs 11 lakh loan from another private bank by showing fake salary credits,' he said. 'Ravi Pal used similar tactics by manipulating Aadhaar-linked mobile numbers. He convinced an acquaintance, Shailesh Ahirwar, to link his (Ravi's) number to Shailesh's Aadhaar card. Later, he used OTPs to update Shailesh's address to Indore and created a fake PAN card in Shailesh's name with his own photograph. Using this identity, he opened a bank account, produced forged salary slips, and secured another Rs 11 lakh loan from a private bank,' he said. The accused are believed to have previously defrauded several banks of nearly Rs 50 lakh. Encouraged by past success, they attempted another loan using similar methods when HDFC's internal verification raised suspicion, prompting a police complaint. Both accused have been produced before court and are currently in police custody for further interrogation. Investigators are now probing the extent of the scam and identifying other possible accomplices.

Decoy system for Rafale: India looks to expedite deliveries of X Guard for IAF fighter jets; here's how it works
During Operation Sindoor's initial phase, the Rafales executed missile strikes on Pakistani air installations. (File photo) India is looking to enhance the capabilities of its Rafale fighter jet fleet. India aims to accelerate the procurement of a decoy mechanism designed to enhance the defensive capabilities of its Rafale fighter aircraft against hostile missiles. During Operation Sindoor 's initial phase, the Rafales executed missile strikes on Pakistani air installations as a counter-response to their actions against Indian military objectives. The SCALP long-range missiles launched from these aircraft achieved precise hits on crucial Pakistani targets, successfully engaging early warning aircraft shelters, unmanned aerial vehicle facilities, command centres and airfields. X Guard : How The Decoy System For Rafale Jets Works The X Guard fibre optic towed decoy system, the order for which has been placed by Indian Air Force to upgrade the Rafale fighter jets' capabilities, enables operations in disputed airspace, according to an ET report. According to sources quoted by the financial daily, whilst the system, produced by Israel's Rafael, has been successfully integrated and tested on the aircraft, delivery schedules have been affected by supply chain disruptions and ongoing conflicts in West Asia. The authorities are working to speed up deliveries, recognising the system's importance in improving the Rafale fighter jet's missile defence capabilities. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 21st Century Skills Start with Confident Communication Planet Spark Learn More Undo The Israeli Air Force frequently uses the X Guard, a sophisticated reusable decoy mechanism that works in conjunction with fighter aircraft's electronic warfare systems. This device, which reproduces a fighter jet's signature characteristics, is housed within a pod attached to a hard point and used during high-stakes operations. When deployed in flight, the device maintains connection with the fighter jet via a fibre-optic cable. Its primary function is to serve as a target for incoming air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles, effectively drawing them away from the actual aircraft by presenting itself as a viable target. Upon mission completion, the system allows for mid-flight retraction and secure storage within its designated pod. The Indian Rafale combat aircraft demonstrated exceptional accuracy during Operation Sindoor whilst targeting terrorist facilities in Bahawalpur and Muridke. These aircraft have specific modifications designed for Indian requirements, including a helmet-mounted display system, an Infra Red Search and Track sensor, and capabilities to function effectively from high-altitude bases.
