Telangana begins shift to enforce stricter provision for vehicle thefts
Hyderabad: The Shamshabad police started registering vehicle theft cases under Section 305(b) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which carries a jail term of up to seven years' and a fine, instead of Section 303(2), intended for general thefts with a maximum punishment of three years' imprisonment. The move comes in the wake of a TOI report published on May 29, which highlighted inconsistencies in the enforcement of new criminal laws across states. While police in Delhi and several other states were already invoking Section 305(b) of the BNS, specifically designated for vehicle thefts, states like Telangana continued to apply the more lenient Section 303(2) of the BNS. The state CID also took note of the report and referred it to the Joint Working Group on New Criminal Laws to seek legal opinion regarding the applicability of the new section for vehicle thefts. According to NCRB figures, Telangana records over 7,500 vehicle thefts annually, placing it among the top ten states in the country for such crimes.

Following the TOI report, senior officers in the Shamshabad zone addressed the issue and decided to implement the provision within their jurisdiction. The RGI Airport police station was the first to register vehicle theft cases under Section 305(b) of the BNS, recording approximately ten cases in June and July. Earlier this week, Mohammed Shareef Khan (30), a resident of Satamrai, reported the theft of his scooter parked in front of his house. Similarly, on July 19, S Abhilash (31), a physiotherapist, reported the theft of his bike parked at his apartment in Shamshabad. Both incidents were filed under Section 305(b) of the BNS at RGI Airport. "Now, other police stations in the zone have also started invoking the section for vehicle thefts," said RGI Airport Inspector K Balaraju. However, police in other zones of Cyberabad, as well as other commissionerates in the capital, continued to use Section 303(2) of the BNS for such cases. The Telangana CID, responsible for the implementation of New Criminal Laws in the state, acknowledged the TOI report and has referred the matter to the Joint Working Group on NCL implementation for a legal opinion, sources stated.

2 faculty members among 7 arrested in Bhatkhande Univ embezzlement case
Lucknow: The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Uttar Pradesh arrested seven people, including two faculty members of Bhatkhande Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, for their alleged involvement in a Rs 3.31 crore financial embezzlement scandal. The arrests took place on Wednesday after the CID filed a chargesheet in May, following months of investigation into large-scale irregularities at the renowned cultural institute. The arrested professors are Manoj Kumar Mishra (60), associate professor of tabla and head of department, and Gyanendra Dutt Bajpai (53), assistant professor of Bharatanatyam and head of department. Other arrested accused are Mohd Sueb alias Soib (28), Vinod Kumar Mishra (61), Kundan Singh (46), Suresh Singh (61), and Jugal Kishore Verma (67), all residents of Lucknow. They are contractors and firm owners. CID teams, led by senior officers, carried out raids across Kaiserbagh, Medical College crossing, and Rajajipuram on Wednesday evening. A senior CID official said, "The evidence clearly indicates that university funds were systematically funnelled through ghost vendors without any adherence to tender procedures. Some accused operated as middlemen, while others controlled shell accounts used to launder the embezzled money." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The CID investigation revealed that the former vice chancellor Shruti Sadolikar Katkar, along with the then drawing and disbursing officer (DDO) and several administrative staff, siphoned off funds by awarding fraudulent procurement and service contracts to 12 shell firms. These firms were allegedly floated by associates of the accused and issued fake invoices for equipment, maintenance, and services that were never rendered. Kickbacks were then distributed among the conspirators. The scandal came to light following an FIR lodged on March 5, 2021, by whistleblower Lavkush Dwivedi, after the Uttar Pradesh governor, who also serves as the university's chancellor, ordered a preliminary inquiry into financial discrepancies. Initially, the case was investigated by the local police and the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), but due to its scale and complexity, it was transferred to the CID on Jan 18 last year.
