Criminal with Rs 20k bounty killed in Yamunanagar encounter
Yamunanagar superintendent of police (SP) Kamaldeep Goyal said the operation was part of an ongoing anti-gangster. Slain criminal Bheem alias Bikeshwar, who hailed from Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh, had a reward of Rs 20,000 on his head and was wanted in several serious criminal cases, said the SP.
According to police, Bheem was facing cases of attempted murder, extortion, drug trafficking, and possession of illegal firearms.
Acting on a tip-off, a police team reached Ratoli-Khera road to apprehend him, said the SP. He claimed that upon spotting the cops, Bikeshwar opened fire, prompting the police to retaliate.
The SP claimed that two bullets fired by Bheem two policemen in their bullet-proof jackets, but they escaped unhurt. Bheem was hit during the gunfight and died on the spot, added the SP.
Bheem had recently moved to Azad Nagar, Yamunanagar, said the SP.

A few days ago, he allegedly opened fire at the residences of a businessman named Bobby and a cloth merchant named Ravi near ITI in Yamunanagar.
After the encounter, a forensics team was despatched to the scene and collected evidence. The police recovered a firearm, live cartridges, and a motorcycle from the spot.
SP Goyal said Bheem worked for a gang being run by one Noni Rana, who is accused of multiple cases in which gunshots were fired to extort money from people. "Rana is also a wanted gangster who has been associated with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Efforts are being made to apprehend him too," he said.
Later in the day, the SP defended the encounter, saying that police had "full legal authority" to respond to a criminal's gunfire with gunfire. "No officer should hesitate in confronting anti-social elements," the SP said.

After D K Shivakumar rides scooter on Hebbal flyover, JD(S) points out Rs 18,500 fine for traffic violations
A scooter driven by Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar during an inspection of the newly constructed loop on Hebbal flyover earlier this week had Rs 18,500 pending in traffic fines from 34 cases of violations, the JD(S) and others alleged. On Tuesday, Shivakumar rode the two-wheeler while inspecting the Hebbal flyover loop, and his video was widely shared, including his X handle. 'The Hebbal flyover loop is set to open, easing traffic congestion and ensuring smoother and faster commutes as part of our government's commitment to building a better Bengaluru,' the Karnataka deputy chief minister said in the post. Later, an R T Nagar traffic police officer confirmed that the vehicle owner voluntarily visited the police station and paid the fine worth Rs 18,500. #Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister @DKShivakumar 's Tuesday bike ride on Hebbal flyover caused embarrassment after it was revealed that the two-wheeler he was riding had Rs 18,500 in pending traffic fines. — Express Bengaluru (@IEBengaluru) August 6, 2025 However, a few hours after the videos started doing rounds, the JD(S) social media cell and others alleged the owner of the two-wheeler had 34 pending traffic violations, including riding without helmets, mobile phone usage while driving, and entering restricted zones, against him on the Bengaluru Traffic Police portal. They said the owner had been fined Rs 18,500 for the violations. The JD(S) party accused him of prioritising photo opportunities over effective governance and demanded police action to recover the outstanding fines. As the allegation sparked public scrutiny over the accumulated violations, members of the ruling Congress party quickly clarified that Shivakumar was merely borrowing the vehicle for the brief inspection ride and didn't own it. A traffic police constable said it was a good move that Shivakumar drove the scooter. 'There are hundreds of violations captured from cameras that are pending. It is humanly impossible to recover those fines. In this case, the owner had not paid despite the 34 violations. With just a short ride by Shivakumar, we were able to clear the violations,' the constable said.

ED recovered Rs 23,000 cr laundered money, distributed it to victims: SG to Supreme Court
New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate has recovered around Rs 23,000 crore laundered money and distributed it to the victims of financial crimes, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the Supreme Court on Thursday. The statement was made by the top law officer before a special bench comprising Chief Justice B R Gavai and Justice Satish Chandra Sharma during the open court hearing on a batch of pleas seeking review of the controversial May 2 judgement of the apex court. The apex court had on May 2 ordered liquidation of Bhushan Power & Steel Limited (BPSL) while setting aside a resolution plan of JSW Steel Limited for the ailing firm. The CJI-led bench on July 31 recalled the verdict and decided to hear afresh the review pleas in the high stake matter. During the hearing on the review pleas, a lawyer referred to the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) probe in the BPSL case as well. 'Here also ED is there,' the CJI quipped. In response, the solicitor general said, 'Let me tell a fact, which was never said in any court, and that is …ED has recovered Rs 23,000 crore (laundered money) and given it to the victims". The law officer said recovered money does not remain with the state exchequer and goes to the victims of financial crimes. 'What is the conviction rate,' the CJI asked. Mehta said conviction rates in penal offences are also very low, and referred to the ills plaguing the criminal justice system in the country as the key reason for it. To which, the CJI said, 'Even if they are not convicted you have been successful in sentencing them almost without a trial for years together". The law officer said, 'In some of the cases where the politicians were raided, where the cash was found, our (cash counting) machines stopped functioning because of the huge cash…we had to bring new machines". He added that some narratives are being built on YouTube programmes when some big politicians are caught. The CJI said, 'We do not decide matters on narratives… I don't see news channels. I see headlines in newspapers only in the morning for 10-15 minutes". The law officer said he knew the cases are not decided by the judges on the narratives being built on social media and outside courtrooms. Several benches of the top court have been critical of alleged high handedness of the ED especially in cases involving opposition leaders in money laundering cases. The CJI-led bench on July 21, in a different case, had observed that the Enforcement Directorate was "crossing all limits". The suo motu matter pertained to summoning of two senior advocates by the ED for offering legal advice or representing clients during investigations.
