Vehicle theft racket busted: 2 Vidisha men arrested in Bhopal, 15 bikes worth Rs 10 lakh recovered
BHOPAL: In a major crackdown on vehicle theft, Nishatpura police on Tuesday claimed to have arrested two notorious bike thieves and recovered 15 stolen two-wheelers worth around Rs10 lakh from their possession.
The accused were found to be hiding stolen bikes in forest areas and selling them in rural regions after changing their number plates.
According to police, the arrests were made following a tip-off that two suspicious youths were roaming around the Karond vegetable market area on a motorcycle with no registration number, likely with the intent to commit theft. Acting on the information, a special police team conducted a cordon operation and detained the suspects.
The accused were identified as Zahid Khan and Shivraj Ahirwar, both residents of Vidisha. When asked for documents of the motorcycle, they failed to provide any. A verification through the VDP (Vehicle Data Portal) revealed that the bike was reported stolen nearly 10 months ago from Jail Road.
Subsequent interrogation revealed that the accused stole multiple bikes from various areas of Bhopal, including Nishatpura, Piplani, Teela Jamalpura, Gautam Nagar, Sukhi Sewania, Kolar, Eintkhedi, and Ashoka Garden.

Delivery boy dies after throat being slashed by manjha string
Lucknow: A 33-year-old delivery boy, identified as Amar Rajput, died in a tragic incident on Saturday morning after his throat was slashed by a kite's glass-coated string (manjha) near the Hardoi bridge in Hiran Nagar Kotwali area of Unnao. According to police, Amar, employed with an e-commerce platform, had left home saying he was going to collect a payment to buy gifts for his sisters for Raksha Bandhan. "First I will bring gifts, then get the rakhi tied," he reportedly told his family before leaving. As he reached the Hardoi bridge, a manjha string got entangled around his neck. Before he could stop his bike, the sharp string cut deeply into his throat, causing him to collapse on the roadside in a pool of blood. Local residents rushed him to the district hospital, where doctors declared him dead. Amar, married two years ago, leaves behind his wife Komal and a young daughter. The tragedy sank the family into grief. His mother Kusuma and sisters Niharika and Neha wept inconsolably in the mortuary, with Kusuma fainting repeatedly. Komal collapsed upon seeing her husband's body, crying that their daughter would now grow up without her father. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Abandoned houses for sale near you at affordable prices Lore Filter Learn More Undo Kusuma alleged foul play, questioning how the manjha could have completely severed the neck. "The doctor indicated that he was attacked with something sharp. My son's workplace should be investigated to know who called him out," she said. A sobbing Niharika said, "We told him to get the rakhi tied first. If he had stayed, he might still be alive. We don't want any gift—just give us our brother back." Amar's father, Dinesh, in deep shock, said his son was the family's only earning member. "Now who will take care of my daughters-in-law and grandchild?" Kotwali SHO Avnish Singh reached the spot and initiated an inquiry. "So far scanning of CCTV footage and mobile phone records nothing suspicious has surfaced, and post Mortem report is awaited," he said.

TikTok star Emilie Kiser's husband distracted by $25 NBA playoff bet as toddler drowns in backyard pool
TikTok star Emilie Kiser's husband distracted by $25 NBA playoff bet as toddler drowns in backyard pool (Image Source: Ig) A calm evening in Chandler, Arizona, quickly turned into every parent's worst fear. Three-year-old Trigg Kiser had been playing near the family's backyard pool while his father, Brady, kept an eye on him and his baby brother and also watched the Knicks-Celtics playoff game. Investigators say Trigg was alone for over nine minutes. He was pulled from the water, but despite desperate rescue efforts, he died days later, leaving his family and neighbours shattered. Betting records, surveillance footage, and police findings raise concerns Phone records obtained by police show that at 5:14 p.m. - about 75 minutes before the incident— Brady placed a $25 sports bet through DraftKings on Celtics star Jayson Tatum to score over 40 points against the Knicks . Tatum went on to score 42 points, and Brady r eceived a $102.50 payout. Officers said Brady first claimed Trigg was left alone for about five minutes, but footage revealed it was longer than ten minutes. 'I didn't have a clock, obviously… it wasn't minutes, it was moments,' Brady told police in his initial statement. Detectives wrote that his version of events did not match what was seen on video and concluded he 'was not watching Trigg at all during the critical times.' The report also revealed that the family owned a pool safety net called a Katchakid, which was usually in place.

Chandler Police stated: 'The combination of these factors led to drowning, and a remedy to any of the contributing circumstances could have prevented the outcome.' According to the report, there was no evidence that Brady saw Trigg in the pool and failed to act; instead, police said he immediately tried to help when he noticed his son. First responders transported Trigg to Chandler Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on May 18. Police report details timeline of events on May 12 in Chandler, Arizona On May 12, Chandler Police in Arizona investigated the drowning of 3-year-old Trigg Kiser at his family's home.
