High Court to Haryana: Clarify on cops sentenced to month in jail

Time of India19-07-2025
Chandigarh: The Punjab and Haryana high court has asked the home secretary of Haryana to clarify if any police authority or state govt can award punishment other than dismissal from service where police officers were awarded a sentence of more than one month by criminal courts.
The HC has also directed the state govt to depute a nodal officer, who is conversant with cases relating to the police force, to assist the office of advocate general, Haryana.
Justice Jagmohan Bansal passed these orders while hearing a matter in which it was noticed that a former sub-inspector of Haryana Police, who was convicted and sentenced to three years' imprisonment in a criminal case, was compulsorily retired from service instead of being dismissed from service.
During the hearing of the matter, the HC also observed that no nodal officer from the police force was deputed to assist the office of AG, Haryana, which is the root cause of repeated adjournments and delays in the adjudication of cases. Hearing the matter, the court on July 15 directed the home secretary to appear before the court to assist with the matter.
In compliance with the order, the state home secretary, Dr Sumita Mishra, appeared via videoconferencing.

On being confronted with Rule 16.2 of Punjab Police Rules, 1934 (for short 'PPR'), as applicable to Haryana, regarding punishment other than dismissal from service to the cops sentenced for more than three years, the home secretary requested more time to respond.
On being confronted with the fact that no nodal officer from the police force was deputed to assist the office of AG, Haryana, which is the root cause of repeated adjournments and delays in adjudication, she submitted she would discuss the issue with police authorities. On this, the HC granted time to the home secretary to respond to the queries by Aug 19. "In the meantime, the state of Haryana is directed to consider that a nodal officer, who is well-conversant with cases relating to the police force, is deputed in HC to assist the AG office.

6-year-old PIO girl and Indian chef latest to be attacked in Ireland

TOI correspondent from London : A six-year-old Indian-origin girl and an Indian sous chef are the latest victims in the ongoing spate of racist attacks targeting Indian nationals and Indian-origin Irish people in Ireland. The girl, whose family hail from Kottayam, Kerala, was playing outside her house in Waterford City, southeast Ireland, with friends at 7.30pm on Monday evening when a gang of boys and one girl called her a 'dirty Indian' and told her to 'go back to India'. She was born in Ireland. Five of the gang also punched her in the face, hit her private parts with a bicycle, punched her neck and twisted her hair. Her mother moved to Ireland eight years ago from Kottayam to work as a nurse with her husband and recently became an Irish citizen. The mother said the gang was made up of boys aged 12 to 14 and a girl aged eight. She said her daughter came home in floods of tears and is now too scared to play outside. She told the Irish Mirror: 'I never expected that such an incident would happen. I thought she would be safe here. Even in front of our own house she can't play safely. I am a nurse, I am doing my best to take care of people. I do my work and I am 100% professional. I changed my citizenship, but still we are called dirty people and even my kids are not safe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15+ Food That Clean Arteries (Most People Ignore) Undo We came here to fill a labour gap.

'Gardaí (Irish national police) responded to a report of an alleged assault in the Kilbarry area of Waterford city on the evening of Monday 4 August. Investigations are ongoing,' a Garda spokesperson told TOI. On Wednesday morning Laxman Das from Kolkata, who works as a sous chef at the Anantara The Marker Dublin hotel, was assaulted near the Hilton Hotel by three people while on his way to work. He was taken to St Vincent's University Hospital. His phone, cash and electric bike were stolen. These come following a spate of attacks against Indians in Ireland in recent weeks — on July 19, July 24, July 27, and on Aug 1 when a cab driver was assaulted. The Gardaí said they are still investigating these attacks and no one has been arrested.

Manjha Sellers Keep It Going Despite Ban

New Delhi: Investigations into recent seizures of Chinese manjha revealed a worrying surge in the covert sale of this banned and dangerous kite string across various markets in the city, especially as Independence Day approached—a time when kite flying reaches a high. Despite the ban, sellers found new ways every year to evade law enforcement authorities while continuing the trade. During the recent crackdowns, police found that Chinese manjha was being sold discreetly using code words and through advance bookings. The string was delivered to buyers at pre-decided locations to avoid detection. According to police sources, sellers communicated with potential buyers through encrypted messaging apps or platforms like WhatsApp. In some cases, specific code names were used to refer to Chinese manjha in online chats. So far, Delhi Police has seized over 1,500 reels of this lethal thread. "After crackdowns begin every year, sellers often shift operations online. They use code words and encrypted apps to communicate. We've seen cases where buyers and sellers interact and decide drop-off points through messages to stay anonymous," said an investigator. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

"Before fulfilling an order, the supplier often conducts a recce of the buyer to confirm his identity and ensure that he isn't part of a police trap. Only after verifying that the person is genuine, the delivery is made." Each Chinese manjha spool costs anywhere between Rs 700 and Rs 2,000, depending on demand and availability. Buyers are often asked to pay extra for delivery. One of the crackdowns occurred in June when a team led by inspector Sunil Kumar Kalkhande, under the supervision of DCP (crime) Vikram Singh, found 1,170 reels of Chinese manjha from Kamla Market and Jeevan Park in Uttam Nagar. Two persons were arrested. In separate operations, 325 reels were seized from northeast Delhi's Nand Nagri and 31 from Gokalpuri. In June, a youth on a scooter was killed in north Delhi when his throat was slit by a Chinese manjha on Rani Jhansi Road in north Delhi's Bara Hindu Rao. The deceased was identified as 22-year-old Yash Goswami, a spare parts business owner. In another incident, a two-wheeler rider was injured after his face came in contact with a kite string on the Shastri Park flyover in east Delhi.
