Youth killed as concrete mixer truck hits motorcycle in Piplod
Deputy commissioner of police (Zone-4) Vijay Singh Gurjar said the accident occurred around 9:30am when the victim, Subhash Rangbahadur Singh, was riding his bike opposite Rahul Raj Mall.
The dumper driver was driving carelessly and hit Singh's bike, killing him on the spot. Since commercial heavy vehicles are banned inside city limits between 8am to 1pm and 5pm to 10pm, we have taken this violation seriously and booked the dumper owners along with the driver," said Gurjar.
Police said the dumper was supplying concrete from Neel Concrete Plant in Ichhapore to the 'Oliva Breeze' construction site in Piplod. The driver has been arrested, and action against the vehicle owners is underway.
The victim, Subhash Singh, lived in Katargam and worked as a security supervisor in Surat. A native of Bhojpur district, he had moved to the city for livelihood. Police have also invoked the Motor Vehicle Act and Gujarat Police Act.

Banaskantha teenager's death was a case of honour killing disguised as suicide, heart attack: Police; uncle arrested
In a horrific twist into the death of an 18-year-old woman two days before she was supposed to appear before Gujarat High Court following a habeas corpus filed by her live-in partner, police have declared the case to be that of honour killing carried out by the teenager's father and uncle. The Indian Express has learnt that the accused allegedly covered up the murder under two layers: While they told the rest of the family that Chandrika had died by suicide, they sent out a word in the village that the teenager had died of heart attack. This was done in order to obtain a death certificate without the need to answer potential questions arising out of the sudden demise and the fact that the police was not duly informed, said sources. The FIR filed in the case has alleged that the woman's father Sendha and uncle Shivram had murdered Chandrika by hanging her from the ceiling of their own house. Sendha Darga Patel and Shivram Darga Patel were booked under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections 103(1) (murder), 123 (causing hurt by poisonous substance), 238 (causing disappearance of evidence), and 54 (abettor present). While the uncle, Shivram, has been placed under arrest, Chandrika's father Sendha is absconding, said police officers. The inquiry into Chandrika's sudden death in her parental home on the basis of a complaint filed by her live-in partner Haresh Chaudhary began under the leadership of Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Suman Nala on August 1. The enquiry concluded at 9 am on Wednesday with the police claiming to have received confessions of the murder, and the dual cover-up of suicide and heart attack. A 'three-layered lie' When ASP Nala first received the case files, the case looked like a tough nut to crack. There was no body that could have been exhumed for a post mortem. There were no CCTV cameras, either. What made the job even more difficult was the location of the village – Dantiya is an extremely interior village located 23 km from the taluka headquarters of Tharad and 101 km from the district headquarters of Palanpur. ASP Nala said that police detained seven immediate family members of Chandrika on the first day of the probe. When the police delved deeper into the details of each suspect's story, cracks and gaps began to emerge, she added. The inquiry team learned that Sedha and Shivram had been primarily involved in Chandrika's murder, said police. ASP Nala said, 'Shivram confessed to the murder and named Sendha as well.' Chandrika's death had likely taken place on the night of June 24, caused allegedly by hanging. 'Then, Sendha and Shivram called other male relatives and at least four men were involved in bringing down Chandrika's body from where it was hanging at 1.30 am on June 25. However, it is clear that many of these close relatives did not know it was a murder and simply believed that Chandrika had died by suicide,' said ASP Nala. By 4 am, other members of the family were also told that Chandrika had 'died by suicide'. 'Then, we learnt that the extended family got together and decided to tell anyone who enquired that Chandrika had died a natural death, which would avert the need for any explanations,' said the senior officer. Chandrika's body was cremated the same morning. Even her brother, who studies in Palanpur, was not called back home for the last rites of his sibling, said the officer. The family also managed to obtain a death certificate, which was submitted in the Gujarat HC, leading to the disposal of the habeas corpus plea filed by Chaudhary. While only Sendha and Shivram have been booked for murder in this case, ASP Nala said that more details could emerge after Sendha, who is absconding, is caught and interrogated in this matter. Case background The FIR, filed on Wednesday based on a complaint by Haresh Chaudhary, described that he first met Chandrika in February when she asked him for a ride to Palanpur. They soon fell in love and Chaudhary described before police how Chandrika's family had turned down her request to let her study nursing and instead, decided to marry her off. According to the FIR, Haresh and Chandrika eloped on June 4 and signed a contract of live-in relationship at the Mirzapur court in Ahmedabad the next day. They then travelled to Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. While they were at a resort in Rajasthan, the police arrived with a relative of Chandrika on June 12 and took her along with Chaudhary to Tharad Police station in Banaskantha. There, Chandrika was handed over to her relatives while Chaudhary said he was arrested in an old assault case and given bail. However, by this time, the Bhachau police arrived from Kutch and arrested him in a liquor case. The FIR further stated that he received bail from court on June 21. Upon checking his phone, Choudhary saw messages from Chandrika pleading with him to 'save her because her family wanted to marry her off and would kill her if she didn't agree.' On June 23, Chaudhary's lawyer filed a writ of habeas corpus in the Gujarat HC, leading to an order asking police to present her in court on June 27. However, Chaudhary said that on June 25, he learnt that Chandrika had died. He then wrote an application to the police seeking an inquiry into her death. When the petition came up for hearing on June 27, the HC was informed that Chandrika had died. Following this, the bench of Justice Vaibhavi Nanavati disposed of the plea. 'On August 6, I was informed by the police that Chandrika's uncle Shivram, after learning that she would again attempt to elope, had fed her dinner laced with sleep medication on June 24. Then, her uncle and father killed her… to make it look like a suicide,' said the FIR.

Ludhiana: NRI woman alleges theft of gold, ₹30K by domestic help
A non-resident Indian (NRI) woman residing temporarily at her Rajguru Nagar Extension home has lodged a police complaint against her domestic help, accusing her of stealing a purse containing gold jewellery, cash, and her passport—just days before her scheduled flight to Dubai on August 8. Acting on the complaint filed by Veena, the Sarabha Nagar police have registered an FIR against Sangeeta, under Section 305 (theft) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). (HT photo for representation) According to ASI Harbhol Singh, the investigating officer, the complainant Veena Kaushal, 69, lives in Dubai with her husband and children. Her Ludhiana residence is occasionally visited by the family, while two tenants currently occupy the property. In her complaint, Veena said that she arrived in Ludhiana a few days ago and was preparing to return to Dubai on August 8. On July 31, she reportedly retrieved her passport, some gold, ₹30,000 in cash, and a few US dollars from a bank locker and placed them in a purse, which she kept near her bed. The purse was later found missing. Veena alleged that her domestic help, Sangeeta, is responsible for the theft. However, Sangeeta has not absconded and remains present at the residence. Police have questioned her and conducted a search of her living quarters but have not recovered the missing items. Acting on the complaint filed by Veena, the Sarabha Nagar police have registered an FIR against Sangeeta, under Section 305 (theft) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). 'We have registered a case based on the complaint. While the domestic help is being interrogated, other angles are also being explored,' said ASI Harbhol Singh, adding that one of the two tenants had left the premises on July 26, while the other tenant, who stayed behind, is also under police scrutiny.
