Court sends 3 to custody for assault on policemen
New Delhi: A Delhi court, while remanding three men to 14 days of judicial custody, observed that the prosecution's account presented a disturbing picture of lawlessness and a brazen assault on police personnel in uniform.
Judicial magistrate Nidhi Singh, on May 25, noted that the accused even assaulted police officers while being escorted to a police booth, reflecting sustained and repeated defiance of authority and use of violence against law enforcement.
"The prosecution's narrative, as encapsulated in the FIR and reiterated by the IO, paints a disturbing picture of lawlessness and brazen assault on uniformed police personnel in the line of duty," the court said.
Delhi Police had sought custody of Manish Nagar, Shashikant Sharma, and Tushar, who were arrested for allegedly assaulting four police officers.
According to prosecution, on May 23 at Green Park Market, a Mahindra Thar carrying the accused obstructed a Skoda driven by a lone woman, wrongfully restraining her and triggering a traffic jam. When police personnel, including head constable Anuj Tomar and constable Mohan Lal, intervened and asked the accused to clear the road, they allegedly refused.

"The situation allegedly escalated dramatically when the accused persons, along with their absconded accomplices, launched a physical assault upon assistant sub inspector Umesh and head constable Parveen, who were attempting to discharge their official duties. In a contemptuous act, the police uniform of ASI Umesh was torn," the court noted.
The prosecution sought custody citing potential witness influence, absconding co-accused, and the gravity of the offence as an attack on the state's law enforcement.
The court noted that CCTV footage presented by the investigating officer (IO) prima facie supported the prosecution's claims. It also reviewed medico-legal case (MLC) reports. Head constable Tomar, present in court, had a visible fresh black eye and orbital injury, providing immediate and observable corroboration of the alleged assault.

US Supreme Court lets Trump revoke 'parole' status for over 5,00,000 migrants
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday let President Donald Trump's administration revoke the temporary legal status of hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan, Cuban, Haitian and Nicaraguan migrants living in the United States, bolstering the Republican president's drive to step up deportations. The court put on hold a federal judge's order halting the administration's move to end the immigration "parole" granted to 532,000 of these migrants by Trump's predecessor Joe Biden, potentially exposing many of them to rapid removal, while the case plays out in lower courts. Two of the court's three liberal justices, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor, dissented from the decision. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bank Owned Properties For Sale In Nekrasovka (Prices May Surprise You) Foreclosed Homes | Search ads Search Now Undo Immigration parole is a form of temporary permission under American law to be in the country for "urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit," allowing recipients to live and work in the United States. Biden, a Democrat, used parole as part of his administration's approach by to deter illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexican border. Trump called for ending humanitarian parole programs in an executive order signed on January 20, his first day back in office. The Department of Homeland Security subsequently moved to terminate them in March, cutting short the two-year parole grants. The administration said revoking the parole status would make it easier to place migrants in a fast-track deportation process called "expedited removal." Live Events The case is one of many that Trump's administration has brought in an emergency fashion to the nation's highest judicial body seeking to undo decisions by judges impeding his sweeping policies, including several targeting immigrants. The Supreme Court on May 19 let Trump end a deportation protection called temporary protected status that had been granted under Biden to about 350,000 Venezuelans living in the United States, while that legal dispute plays out. In a bid to reduce illegal border crossings, Biden starting in 2022 allowed Venezuelans who entered the United States by air to request a two-year parole if they passed security checks and had a U.S. financial sponsor. Biden expanded that process to Cubans, Haitians and Nicaraguans in 2023 as his administration grappled with high levels of illegal immigration from those nationalities. The plaintiffs, a group of migrants granted parole and Americans who serve as their sponsors, sued administration officials claiming the administration violated federal law governing the actions of government agencies. Boston-based U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in April found that the law governing such parole did not allow for the program's blanket termination, instead requiring a case-by-case review. The Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined to put Talwani's decision on hold. In its filing, the Justice Department told the Supreme Court that Talwani's order had upended "critical immigration policies that are carefully calibrated to deter illegal entry," effectively "undoing democratically approved policies that featured heavily in the November election" that returned Trump to the presidency. The plaintiffs told the Supreme Court they would face grave harm if their parole is cut short given that the administration has indefinitely suspended processing their pending applications for asylum and other immigration relief. They said they would be separated from their families and immediately subject to expedited deportation "to the same despotic and unstable countries from which they fled, where many will face serious risks of danger, persecution and even death."

Dutch brace to stump up millions for stolen Romanian treasures
Dutch brace to stump up millions for stolen Romanian treasures (Photo: AP) The Dutch government has set aside 5.7 million euros for a likely payout following the brazen theft of an ancient Romanian pure-gold helmet from a museum in the Netherlands. A spokesperson for the Dutch culture ministry told AFP on Friday the amount had been allocated as part of a scheme where the state partially guarantees valuable museum exhibitions. The scheme aims to encourage museums to put on exhibitions of valuable artwork, knowing the state will stump up in the event of theft or damage. In January, a gang of robbers used firework bombs to break into the Drents Museum in the northern Netherlands and smashed display cases once inside. They made off with the 2,500-year-old golden Helmet of Cotofenesti and three gold bracelets. The theft and the search for the booty regularly makes headline news in the Netherlands and sparked outrage in Romania, where the items are considered national treasures. In this case, the state had guaranteed insurers that it would cover 5.7 million euros ($6.5 million) if the works were stolen. "As a result of the insurance procedure, it is likely that the ministry will pay out in accordance with the indemnity scheme," the spokesperson, who declined to be named, told AFP. Two suspects appeared in court earlier this month over the theft of the helmet, which prosecutors believe can still be found and has not been melted down. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 나이들어 노안+백내장 절대 방치 하지 마세요! 부산백내장노안 전문안과 더 알아보기 Undo "Of course, we hope that the stolen treasures will be recovered, that is what all efforts are focused on," the culture ministry spokesperson said. If the helmet and armbands are indeed recovered, the state will get back its money but could still be on the hook if there is damage. Police have offered a reward of 100,000 euros for information leading to the helmet's recovery.

Bastar: Three villagers injured in IED blast triggered by Maoists in Bijapur
RAIPUR: Three villagers were injured in a pressure IED blast, activated by Maoists in Bandepara village of insurgency-hit Bijapur district in Bastar on Friday morning. Upon receiving information, emergency services quickly dispatched an ambulance to the site to ensure timely medical treatment for the injured. Police and local authorities are coordinating efforts to evacuate the victims and provide necessary care. Police said, in yet another act of cowardice, Maoists targeted innocent civilians with a pressure-activated IED at Bandepara village in Maddeḍ region, leaving three villagers seriously injured. The blast occurred around 8:30–9:00 AM when the victims were walking to Bandepara for personal errands. The pressure IED, allegedly planted by Maoists, detonated as the villagers unknowingly stepped on the device. The injured villagers were identified as Gote Joga (45), Vivek Dhodi (17), and Badde Sunil (20), all residents of Erragufa Para, Dampaaya. All three sustained serious injuries to their legs and faces due to the blast. This latest attack indicates the ongoing threat posed by Maoist insurgents in the Bastar region, where pressure IEDs have been used extensively to disrupt daily life and intimidate local communities. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Innocent villagers, often caught in the crossfire, remain the most vulnerable victims of this violence. Security forces have launched an investigation into the incident and increased patrolling in the region to prevent further attacks and ensure safety of civilians.
