Faridabad teen girl's ‘joyride at over 100 kmph': SUV rams into police car, flings home guard off bridge
The Faridabad police Sunday arrested an 18-year-old after her speeding SUV allegedly hit a traffic police interceptor vehicle on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway near the Badoli Bridge, injuring two police personnel and damaging equipment. A home guard was thrown off the bridge onto the service road approximately 25 feet below, said the police. The accident occurred around 8.15 am during a routine check and the police personnel were handing out challans to those overspending. According to the complaint filed by Traffic Constable Deepak, 25, the interceptor vehicle, a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, was parked on the side of the expressway in accordance with the rules. Assistant Sub Inspector Narendra, 42, and Home Guard Deepak, 35, were also part of the team operating the interceptor when a green Mahindra Scorpio, driven by the accused, Kritika Garg, allegedly collided with the rear of their vehicle at high speed. Home Guard Deepak was flung off the bridge due to the impact of the collision, as per the complaint. The Scorpio's tyre burst after the collision, causing it to stop at the scene, and Garg provided her name and address when questioned, said the police. The impact severely damaged the interceptor's equipment, including an overspeed machine, laser DVR, battery monitor, printer, camera controller, and LED screen. Constable Deepak and Home Guard Deepak sustained serious injuries and were admitted to Sarvodaya Hospital. Home Guard Deepak's condition was critical, leading to his transfer to the intensive care unit, where doctors declared him unfit to give a statement. The complaint attributed the accident to Garg's negligent and high-speed driving, which, according to the police, obstructed government work. The police filed an FIR at the BPTP police station under sections 281, 125(A), 125(B), 324(4), 221, and 132 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), citing rash driving, causing hurt by negligence, mischief causing damage, obstructing a public servant, and assault to deter a public servant. 'The accused, Kritika Garg, stays in Sector 28 in Faridabad and was driving at over 100 km per hour when she lost control and hit the home guard. Constable Deepak also sustained injuries but is stable, while ASI Narender was treated for minor bruises. The accused was returning from a gaming parlour in Sector 12 and heading to Sector 86 with four of her friends on a joyride of sorts to celebrate clearing their Class 12 exams,' Station House Officer Inspector Arvind Kumar said. He added that she was released on station bail, and the car was registered in the name of her father, Manoj Kumar.

"Will take decision today": Parameshwara on Centre's request to transfer Suhas Shetty's murder case to NIA
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 9 (ANI): Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Monday said that the Central Home Ministry has sent a letter to the state government asking it to hand over the Suhas Shetty murder case to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), and a decision on it will be taken soon. Speaking to the mediapersons, Parameshwara said, 'The Central Home Ministry has written a letter to the State government to hand over the case of the murder of Suhas Shetty to the NIA. I believe yesterday the letter came, I learn that from the Director General of police (DGP), and today, we are going to decide on it...' Shetty, a prominent right-wing youth leader associated with the Bajrang Dal in Karnataka's coastal belt, was brutally murdered last month in Sullia town of Dakshina Kannada district. The activist, in his early 30s, was attacked by unidentified assailants while returning home late at night. He succumbed to his injuries on the spot. The incident triggered widespread protests in the region, with local Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) units alleging a targeted killing. Meanwhile, Karnataka BJP President BY Vijayendra targeted the Siddaramaiah government over the murder of former Bajrang Dal activist Suhas Shetty. He called the Congress government 'anti-Hindu' and alleged that the Hindu activists have been constantly attacked in the state. Speaking to ANI on Monday, Vijayendra said, 'Hindu karyakartas have been consistently attacked here in the state ever since Congress has come to power... Due to the appeasement politics of the Siddaramaiah government, no action has been taken so far against any organisation or anti-national elements... In the recent Suhas Shetty murder case, the Home Minister was forced to cancel his visit to Suhas Shetty's house. This Siddaramaiah government is anti-Hindu.' He added that the party workers had met the Governor of Karnataka, Thaawar Chand Gehlot, and demanded that the investigation be transferred to the National Investigating Agency (NIA), which the Centre agreed to.
