Chandigarh: Following the directions of the Punjab and Haryana high court, UT police booked three of its policemen for allegedly thrashing a National Youth Award recipient and another youth at Hallomajra police post on March 16.
The cops, identified as ASIs Sewa Singh, Ranjit, and senior constable Deepak, were suspended and sent to police lines on March 30.
One of the victims, Rohit Kumar, filed a case in the Punjab and Haryana high court, seeking action against the officers. During the hearing on the petition, the high court directed the police department to take action against the alleged officers.
In his complaint, another victim, Gobind Kumar, alleged on March 16 evening, he received a call from Rohit, a recipient of the National Youth Award, informing him that two girls from Hallomajra were being physically abused by their father and were crying for help.
Gobind and Rohit went to the police post to report the incident.
Upon arriving at the police post, Gobind and Rohit found the girls were already there. The girls claimed they had been beaten by their father and officers. Gobind and Rohit requested the officers to treat the girls with compassion, but instead, they were allegedly beaten with sticks.
Gobind alleged that the officers punched and kicked them. According to the complainant, the officers, who appeared to be intoxicated, boasted about their power and claimed to be untouchable by the law.

Was Sonam Raghuvanshi's sudden request to visit Kamakhya Temple a setup? How live location to lover helped killers track Raja
A newlywed honeymoon in the Northeast took a shocking turn when a woman named Sonam allegedly plotted her husband Raja Raghuvanshi's murder, just days after their wedding. According to investigators, she stayed in contact with her alleged boyfriend, Raj Kushwaha, the entire time, even sharing her live location during the trip. Police claim Sonam worked with Raj and three others, all young men with no criminal history, to track and kill her husband in Meghalaya's Sohra region. One major clue was Sonam's sudden request to visit the Kamakhya temple in Assam, which helped the killers close in on their location. Raja, a 28-year-old transporter from Indore, was found dead in a deep gorge on June 2, less than 11 days after his wedding. His wife was found alone and disoriented at a highway dhaba in Uttar Pradesh nearly 1,200 km from the crime scene. She reportedly called her brother using the eatery owner's phone, triggering a police alert. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Indonesia (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo Sonam, 24, allegedly planned the murder with Raj Kushwaha, 21, who worked in her father's business. The other accused are Akash Rajput (21), Vishal Singh Chauhan (22), and Anand Kurmi (23). All are now in custody. 'She looked terrified and wasn't even speaking properly,' said a woman who met her at the dhaba. Sonam later surrendered to UP Police and is being taken to Shillong for further questioning. Live Events Meghalaya DGP I Nongrang confirmed the arrests, while CM Conrad Sangma praised police for solving the case in a week. Officials believe the motive was a love affair turned deadly. Raja's mother Uma Raghuvanshi is shattered. 'He told me Sonam hardly spoke to him. I didn't know she was hiding something so dark,' she said. The family said Sonam stayed with them for four days after marriage, before going to her parents' house. Then suddenly, Raja informed them she had planned a temple trip. 'He bought clothes and packed for the trip. She made him wear his best jewellery, a chain, a ring, a watch, and left as a bride,' Uma said. 'And now she stands accused of killing him.' The heartbroken mother added, 'If she didn't want to marry him, she could have left. Why murder him? He loved her truly. We treated her like our own daughter.' The family is demanding the harshest punishment. 'If proven guilty, she and the others must be hanged. She didn't just kill our son, she broke our trust, and the meaning of family,' Uma said, her voice heavy with pain. Inputs from TOI

Who is Anthony Wainwright, the Florida man set to be executed for a 1994 rape and murder?
Anthony Wainwright, a 54-year-old Florida death row inmate, is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection Tuesday at Florida State Prison near Starke. He was convicted of the 1994 abduction, rape , and murder of 23-year-old Carmen Gayheart , a mother of two, in Lake City. Wainwright would become the sixth person executed in Florida this year, matching the number carried out in 2023. His execution is one of four scheduled across the U.S. this week. Wainwright and his accomplice, Richard Hamilton, had escaped from a North Carolina prison in April 1994. After stealing a car and burglarizing a home, the pair drove to Florida. When their stolen Cadillac broke down in Lake City, they targeted Gayheart in a supermarket parking lot. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Remember Charlie Sheen's Ex-Wife?

Click Here Undo According to court records, the men forced Gayheart into her Ford Bronco at gunpoint, raped her in the backseat, and later attempted to strangle her before shooting her twice in the head. Her body was dragged several yards off the road. The two were arrested the next day in Mississippi after a shootout with police. A Florida jury convicted Wainwright in 1995 of murder, rape, kidnapping, and robbery, recommending a death sentence. Hamilton, who was also sentenced to death, died in prison in January 2023. Live Events Wainwright's attorneys have spent decades challenging his conviction and sentence, citing alleged brain damage, intellectual disability, and multiple trial irregularities. Their most recent appeals included claims of suppressed DNA evidence, improper jury instructions, misleading prosecution arguments, and unreliable jailhouse informant testimony. However, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Wainwright's final appeals on Monday without comment. Carmen Gayheart's sister, Maria David, plans to witness the execution. 'Three decades is too long to wait for justice,' she told the Associated Press. 'You have to relive it again and again with each appeal.' David said her sister, who was studying to become a nurse, was a patient and loving mother who deserved to be remembered. 'She was here, she mattered, she was loved,' David said. 'I've kept every court filing in a book. Now I'm waiting to add the final page—the one that says he's been executed.'

A pilgrimage, change of plans & a trek to death: Meghalaya honeymoon murder stuns nation
GUWAHATI: What began as a romantic honeymoon for newlyweds Raja Raghuvanshi and Sonam ended in a chilling murder that has shocked the nation. Raja (28), a transporter from Indore, and Sonam (24) were married on May 11. Merely days later, Sonam allegedly orchestrated her husband's killing in Meghalaya with the help of her lover and three contract killers. Soon after the wedding, Sonam surprised Raja with a sudden pilgrimage to the Kamakhya temple in Assam. She reportedly insisted he wear a gold chain, a ring, and an expensive watch. After the temple visit, she suggested they proceed to Meghalaya, where the couple checked into a homestay in Nongriat village on May 22. The next day, May 23, they went untraceable.
