No fuel for motorists without helmets in JSR
2
Jamshedpur: The East Singhbhum district administration on Wednesday reinforced its 'no helmet no fuel, no seat belt no fuel' norm as part of its move to curb road accidents by effective implementation of traffic safety rules.
For one week, officials will run awareness campaigns among motorists about the need to use helmets or seat belts while driving bikes and cars. Crackdown will begin thereafter, said officials.
"We have asked the petrol bunk owners to install CCTVs at their respective premises so that the video footage of any motorist who comes violating the safety norms is recorded, and penal action will be taken accordingly," DSP (Traffic) Sriniraj Kumar said.
Enforcement officials, including transport and traffic officials, held a meeting with pump owners on Tuesday wherein nitty-gritty of the exercise was discussed in detail. Pump owners were told to put up banners, posters, signages, and stickers at fuel stations so that motorists coming to the station became aware of the norm. Traffic police data showed 21 people were killed and 17 were injured in 46 road accidents which occurred between June and July this year.
The police collected Rs 41 lakh in penalties from motorists for violating traffic rules, including not wearing a helmet and not putting on a seat belt, during this period.

FIR ordered against Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh, 3 others
Varanasi: A court here has directed the police to register a case of fraud against Bhojpuri film actor-singer Pawan Singh and three others following a complaint by a local hotelier. The order was passed by the court of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-II after hearing an application filed by businessman Vishal Singh. The development has now come to light. Vishal Singh's counsel, Ashish Singh alleged that his client was duped in the name of investment in the 2018 film 'Boss'. According to the lawyer, Vishal Singh met Mumbai-based film director Prem Shankar Rai in 2017, after which he was introduced to several people associated with the project. It was alleged that Vishal Singh was persuaded to invest in the film with a promise of profit, and even a meeting with Pawan Singh was arranged to convince him. The complainant claimed that he deposited about Rs 32.60 lakh from his and his brother's firm into different accounts. In July 2018, he was declared a producer of the film and assured 50 per cent of the profits. Later, he invested another Rs 1.25 crore in the project. However, despite the film's release, Vishal Singh was allegedly not given his share of the profit. The businessman further alleged that when he demanded his dues, actor Pawan Singh threatened to kill him. The complainant approached the Cantonment police station and the police commissioner with his grievance. After no action was taken, he moved the court, which directed police to register an FIR against Pawan Singh and three others under fraud charges.

HC quashes Abbas Ansari's conviction in hate speech case
Prayagraj: The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday quashed the conviction of Mukhtar Ansari's son Abbas Ansari in a 2022 hate speech case. Justice Samir Jain set aside a special MP MLA court order sentencing him to two years' rigorous imprisonment. The special court in Mau convicted Abbas and sentenced him to two years' imprisonment in the speech case on May 31. Abbas moved the appellate court which rejected his challenge on July 5 following which he moved the high court for the relief. He was punished under Sections 153-A (promoting enmity among different groups) and 189 (threat of injury to a public servant), Section 506 (criminal intimidation) and Section 171F (undue influence or personation at an election) of IPC. He was also slapped with a Rs 2,000 fine. Abbas' election agent, Mansoor Ansari, who was present on stage during the speech, was also convicted in the case and sentenced to six months in jail. The then MLA of Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party from Mau Sadar assembly constituency allegedly threatened state government officials of consequences if Samajwadi Party came to power after the 2022 assembly election. 'I have told Akhilesh bhaiya (former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav) that after formation of the government, there will be no transfer or postings of bureaucrats for six months. Everyone will remain where they are. First there will be hisab-kitab (scores to be settled), only then will transfer take place,' he allegedly said in the speech. He won the 2022 assembly election by over 38,000 votes from the Mau seat.

Lucknow lawyer gets life term for filing fake cases
Lucknow: A special court here has sentenced an advocate to life imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 5.10 lakh after finding him guilty of misusing the identity of a Dalit woman to file dozens of fake cases against his opponents . Special Judge (SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act) Vivekanand Sharan Tripathi delivered the verdict, holding Parmanand Gupta guilty of conspiracy and abuse of law by filing false cases through one Pooja Rawat, a Dalit woman, to target his rivals. Special Public Prosecutor Arvind Mishra said Gupta, in collusion with Rawat, had filed at least 18 cases in his own name and another 11 through Rawat. Many of these were lodged against his rival Arvind Yadav and his family in connection with a property dispute. The false cases included allegations of rape and molestation, he added. The matter came to light when arguments were raised before the Allahabad High Court, following which reports were sought from police stations concerned. On March 5, 2025, the high court ordered a CBI probe into the matter. Investigations showed that Gupta conspired to use Rawat's Dalit identity to falsely implicate Yadav and his family. However, during the inquiry it emerged that Rawat was never present at the disputed site at the time of the alleged incidents, and that the house she claimed to have rented was actually under construction by the Yadav family. Rawat later herself submitted an application to the court on August 4, 2025, stating that she had been trapped by Gupta and his wife Sangeeta, who runs a beauty parlour where she worked as an assistant. Rawat admitted she had been coerced into giving false statements of sexual assault before a magistrate and pleaded for pardon. The court granted her conditional pardon. The judge, however, held that Gupta, being fully aware that the charges carried the possibility of life imprisonment, had orchestrated the conspiracy and thus deserved exemplary punishment. Sentencing him to life imprisonment, the court also directed that a copy of its judgment be sent to the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh to ensure that 'a criminal like advocate Parmanand Gupta does not enter the court premises and practice law, so that the sanctity of the judiciary is preserved.'
