UP DGP calls for heightened security for I-Day, Janmashtami celebrations
Lucknow, Aug 13 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh DGP Rajiv Krishna on Wednesday issued detailed instructions to maintain high vigilance and ensure effective law and order arrangements across the state in view of Independence Day celebrations on August 15 and the Janmashtami festival the next day. According to an official statement, the DGP has directed district and commissionerate police chiefs to list all the major programmes — including flag marches, Tiranga rallies, and cultural events — and make comprehensive security and traffic arrangements accordingly. Anti-sabotage checks have been mandated at all venues, along with roof-top deployment, strict access control at entry and exit points, and planned traffic diversions. The DGP asked to intensify security at railway and Metro stations, bus terminals, airports, cinema halls, shopping malls, hotels, guest houses, religious sites and other crowded locations. Continuous checking at state and district borders, functional CCTV surveillance and strict briefing of check-post staff have been emphasised. The DGP also instructed close monitoring of microlight aircraft, drones, paragliders and other unmanned aerial objects, prohibiting all unauthorised flights. Local intelligence units and social media cells have been activated to track activities of banned or extremist organisations, with directives for immediate preventive action wherever required. The district police forces have been told to verify tenants in the residential colonies, curb illegal arms and explosives trafficking, and ensure coordination with the civil magistrates, municipal bodies and utility departments for smooth conduct of Janmashtami events. Organisers of temple festivals, processions and fairs are to be engaged in advance meetings to resolve logistical issues, the directive said. All sensitive and communally vulnerable areas will have enhanced police deployment, flag marches and foot patrolling under the supervision of gazetted officers, the statement said. Videography and drone surveillance of processions have been made mandatory, along with the use of bomb disposal squads and sniffer dogs wherever necessary. The instructions also include ensuring women's safety through plainclothes deployment, keeping riot-control equipment ready, and maintaining police/PAC reserves at the district headquarters. Round-the-clock monitoring of social media platforms has also been ordered to counter misinformation or inflammatory content.

ED questions Suresh Raina for 8 hours in illegal online betting app case
New Delhi, Aug 13 (PTI) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday questioned former India cricketer Suresh Raina for more than eight hours in an alleged money laundering case linked to an illegal online betting app, official sources said. Raina (38) was seen interacting with CISF personnel and ED staff outside the agency's office in central Delhi before marking his attendance at around 11 am. He left the agency office around 8 pm. The federal probe agency recorded Raina's statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) as part of its investigation linked to a sports betting application named 1xBet, the sources said. Raina, who played 18 Tests, 226 ODIs, and 78 T20Is for India, is understood to have been linked to the app through certain endorsements. The ED wanted to understand his links with the app, any endorsement fee earned and the mode of communication between the two parties, according to the sources. The agency recently called representatives of Google and Meta for questioning as part of its probe. It also conducted multi-state searches on Tuesday in connection with a similar investigation against an online betting app named Parimatch. The agency is probing multiple such cases involving illegal betting apps, which allegedly duped numerous people and investors worth crores of rupees or evaded a huge amount of taxes. According to estimates by market analysis firms and probe agencies, there are about 22 crore Indian users of various such online betting apps, out of which half (about 11 crore) are regular users. The online betting app market in India is worth over USD 100 billion, which is growing at a rate of 30 per cent, according to experts. The government last month told Parliament that it has issued 1,524 orders from 2022 till June 2025 to block online betting and gambling platforms. Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, Jitin Prasada, told Lok Sabha in a written reply that the Directorate General of GST Intelligence headquarters is empowered as an appropriate government agency under the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the IGST Act to direct intermediaries to block unregistered online money gaming platforms, including offshore online money gaming platforms, violating the IGST Act. He said the suppliers of online money gaming are also being regulated under the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 (IGST Act). 'Under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution, 'betting and gambling' is a state subject (entry 34 of the List II). Therefore, as per the provisions of Article 246 read with Article 162 of the Constitution, state legislatures have the power to legislate on matters related to betting and gambling," Prasada said. The minister also said the states and Union territories are primarily responsible for prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of crimes, including action against illegal betting and gambling. 'The Central government supplements the efforts of the states/Union territories through advisories and financial assistance under various schemes for capacity building of their LEA," Prasada said.
