Four held with about ₹23 lakh worth ganja at Secunderabad Railway Station
Four individuals from Maharashtra, including three women, were arrested at Secunderabad Railway Station on Friday while transporting 46 kilograms of dry ganja from Odisha to Aurangabad. The seized contraband is valued at ₹22.93 lakh. The accused, identified as Bali Atish Pawar, 24, Rohit Godaji Chavan, 35, Rajani Rohit Chavan, 28, and Padma Ashok Pimpale, 44, were arrested by the Secunderabad Government Railway Police (GRP), Elite Anti-Narcotics Group for Law Enforcement (EAGLE) team and Railway Protection Force (RPF) during surprise checks at the station. Two other accused from Berhampur, Odisha, Bhura and Ashish Kumar, remain at large. The arrested individuals, all relatives from Ahmednagar district, had boarded the Falaknuma Express at Berhampur after purchasing 21 packets of ganja weighing a total of 45.8 kilograms. On arriving at Secunderabad in the morning, they waited in the general waiting hall for the Devagiri Express to reach their destination. Around 12.40 p.m., they were intercepted by police personnel during a routine anti-drug check, aided by a sniffer dog. On questioning, all four confessed to carrying the contraband in their bags. Police said the main accused, Bali Atish Pawar, came into contact with the absconding suppliers while working as a labourer in Khammam two years ago. She was previously arrested in an Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act case in 2023 and remanded to jail. After being released, she resumed smuggling ganja from Odisha to Maharashtra, buying it for ₹5,000 per two-kilogram packet and selling it for double the price. Recently, she met the other three accused at a family gathering where they discussed their financial problems. Pawar then convinced them to join her in the smuggling operation, promising high profits. They travelled together to Odisha, procured the ganja, and attempted to transport it by train.

Rajasthan youth murder: Tazia procession cancelled amid rising tensions in Bhilwara
Jaipur: Protests continue in Jahazpur town of Bhilwara district in Rajasthan on Saturday following the murder of a youth by a mob. The victim's family has demanded Rs 1 crore in compensation and bulldozer action on the houses of the accused, while the local administration, in view of rising tensions, has imposed restrictions and cancelled the Tazia procession scheduled for July 5 and 6 during Muharram. The family has been staging a protest outside the government hospital in Jahazpur since Saturday. The Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Jahazpur has officially withdrawn permission for the Tazia processions, citing law and order concerns. A complete ban has now been enforced on carrying out processions on both days. According to the police, the incident occurred on Friday around 7:30 PM in the Takiya Masjid area of Jahazpur. Four youths - Sitaram, Sikandar, Dilkhush, and Deepak - residents of the Chhavni area in Tonk, had come to Jahazpur in a car to attend a function at the home of Sikandar's sister. While leaving the main market, their car accidentally hit a handcart. An argument broke out with the cart owner, and soon, around 20 people gathered and began assaulting the group. Sitaram (25) was pulled out of the vehicle, beaten severely, and thrown onto the road. He succumbed to his injuries on the spot. In protest, Jahazpur town observed a complete shutdown on Saturday. A murder case has been registered against 16 named individuals and 20 unidentified others. Police forces from 10 nearby stations have been deployed to prevent any further unrest. Hari Nand Kahar, state chief of the Kewat Kahar Samaj, said that Sitaram was brutally murdered. 'We strongly condemn this heinous act. The accused must receive strict punishment. The victim's family is poor - his father has passed away, and his elderly mother was entirely dependent on him,' he said. Nand Kahar pointed out that the family must receive Rs 1 crore compensation and a government job for one member, adding that the case should be investigated by an SIT and tried in a fast-track court. Bhilwara MP Damodar Agarwal said that the incident is serious, and there is anger in society. 'Police are arresting the criminals. A situation of agitation has arisen. People must maintain peace,' he said.
