Tripura CM Manik Saha bats for better implementation of new criminal laws, hopes it will push up conviction rate
'We have seen that these are friendly Acts. To implement criminal laws, the stakeholders are required to work in coordination and benefit the common people. I urge you all to cooperate with each other,' CM Saha said while addressing a workshop on 'New Criminal Laws and NDPS Act' held for legal practitioners, the police, and administrative officers at Pragya Bhavan in Agartala.
'I think this workshop is a step in this direction. Awareness is very important. People don't know about that. But every person should know these laws, and for this, I think, awareness campaigns should be done vigorously,' he added.
'These laws reflect a victim-friendly, technology-driven, and time-bound approach to justice delivery… The FIR (First Information Report) can be filed from anywhere, any part of the country, or across the state without being physically present in the police station and irrespective of the jurisdiction. The victims are entitled to have a free copy of their FIRs. Victims are to be informed about the status of their cases every 90 days…' said CM Saha.

Mercedes flips at high speed on Palm Beach Road, 19-year-old seriously injured
NAVI MUMBAI: A late-night joyride along the scenic Palm Beach Road nearly ended in tragedy for two young men when their Mercedes-Benz lost control and overturned in the early hours of Monday, leaving one of them critically injured. Mercedes flips at high speed on Palm Beach Road, 19-year-old seriously injured The crash took place around 2 am near Vashi when 20-year-old Mohammad Salman Sheikh, a resident of Sector 50, Seawoods, was allegedly speeding in his father's white Mercedes-Benz (MH-02-FN-1206), with his 19-year-old friend Mohammad Sufiyan Sheikh in the passenger seat. 'They were heading toward Vashi for a drive when the vehicle hit a slippery patch. Salman lost control of the steering, crashed through the divider, and the car somersaulted into the opposite lane toward Belapur,' said senior inspector Brahma Naikwadi of Nerul police station. The speed limit on Palm Beach Road is 60 kmph — making the estimated speed of the vehicle three times the legal limit. The luxury sedan landed mangled on its side, its roof crushed and windscreen shattered. The force of the crash left Sufiyan severely injured, while Salman miraculously escaped with minor injuries. A passer-by, alerted by the screech and crash, called the police control room on 112. Emergency services rushed Sufiyan to Apollo Hospital in Nerul, where he is currently undergoing treatment for serious injuries. Salman was treated for superficial wounds at the same hospital. 'The car was a complete wreck. Fortunately, no other vehicle or pedestrian was involved, but a portion of the road divider and street infrastructure was damaged,' the officer added. The Nerul police have registered a case against Salman under section 281 (rash driving), sections 125(a)(b) and 120(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and section 184 of the Motor Vehicles Act. Police are also investigating whether the vehicle's speed was corroborated by CCTV or GPS telemetry.

'Attacked With Chilli Powder And Machete': Tamil Nadu Techie Killed By Girlfriend's Brother
Last Updated: The accused's parents — both sub-inspectors attached to a battalion in Manimuthar — have also been named in the FIR following a complaint by the victim's family A 27-year-old techie was allegedly murdered by the brother of a woman he was in a relationship with, in a suspected caste-based crime in Tamil Nadu's Tirunelveli district, police said on Monday. The main accused, 24-year-old Surjit, has been detained, said officials, adding that further investigation into the matter is underway. The victim, Kavin Selva Ganesh, had reportedly gone to a Siddha clinic in Tirunelveli town on Sunday evening to meet his former schoolmate and suspected girlfriend, S Subhashini, regarding treatment for his ailing grandfather. Subhashini is a practitioner at the clinic. According to police, an argument broke out between Ganesh and Surjit, Subhashini's brother, outside the clinic. Surjit allegedly attacked Ganesh with a sickle. His body was later recovered about 200 metres from the clinic. The post-mortem was conducted at the Tirunelveli government hospital. Subhashini's family is from the Maravar community, a dominant caste group in southern Tamil Nadu, while Ganesh belonged to the Devendra Kula Vellalar, a Dalit sub-caste. Police said the woman's family had objected to their relationship. The accused's parents — both sub-inspectors attached to a battalion in Manimuthar — have also been named in the FIR following a complaint by Ganesh's mother, S Tamilselvi, who alleged that they had issued repeated threats to her son. 'My son is an innocent person. The woman asked him to come to the hospital. The accused took my son out, threw chilli powder on his face, and attacked him with a machete… The government should immediately expel his mother and father from service. We will not receive my son's body unless action is taken," said the victim's father, Chandrashekar. A police officer confirmed that Surjit and his parents have been booked under relevant sections of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). 'The prime accused has been arrested. Further investigations are underway," the officer said. view comments First Published: July 29, 2025, 08:01 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
