6 arrested for ‘kidnap-murder' of man in Imphal West
Imphal: Manipur Police have arrested six people in connection with the "kidnap and murder" of Chesam Abdul Kadir, a resident of Paobitek Mayai Leikai in Imphal West district. He went missing during the intervening night of June 10-11. The arrests were made on Monday. Kadir's body was found at the residence of Heikrujam Prafulo Singh (35) at Yumnam Huidrom Makha Leikai a couple of days after he had gone missing. Prafulo was arrested and remanded to custody until June 23. His detention led to the arrest of five others, including three members of the Arambai Tenggol organisation in the connection. The arrested Arambai Tenggol members were identified as Longjam Henson, alias Naocha Meitei (24), Thounaojam Ashok Singh (20), and Huidrom Shyamsunder Singh (30). Two civilians — Heikrujam Premchand Puremba (28) and Sapam Dayani Devi (42) — were also arrested. All six suspects appeared before a magistrate and were remanded to police custody until June 23. So far, nine people — six Arambai Tenggol members and three civilians — have been arrested in connection with the case. Authorities have also seized five vehicles during the investigation, including three cars, one pickup truck, and one scooter. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What She Did Mid-Air Left Passengers Speechless medalmerit Learn More Undo The probe into Kadir's disappearance and subsequent discovery of his body at a residence near Mayai Lambi College Gate in Imphal West district is still ongoing.

19.45L cases pending cases in district courts till May
Cuttack: Subordinate courts in the state continue to witness a rise in pending cases, despite improved efforts in disposal. Till May 31, a staggering 19.45 lakh cases remain pending across various district courts — marking an increase of 25,008 from Jan 1. The rise occurred in spite of a significant improvement in case clearance rate (CCR), which climbed from 77.17% in Jan to 100.33% in May, with March also recording 103.07%. The lowest clearance was recorded in April at 77.11%. The average CCR for the five-month period stood at 88.51%, according to an updated report released by the Orissa high court. The spike is attributed to a sharp rise in institution of new cases, coupled with shortage of judicial staff and infrastructure. Currently, 204 judicial posts are vacant, significantly impacting the efficiency of the judiciary. While the sanctioned strength of judicial officers stands at 1,041, the working strength is 837. Out of the total 19.45 lakh pending cases, 16.33 lakh are criminal, while 3.12 lakh are civil. The sharp rise in criminal case registration is partly due to the institution of 18,820 cases under the Motor Vehicles Act, triggered by automated challans based on CCTV surveillance footage. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mensualités: Bonne nouvelle pour les propriétaires étouffés par les crédits Bons plans propriétaires En savoir plus Undo In terms of case disposal, 48,132 cases were resolved in May, up from 32,761 in Jan. However, new case filings also increased — from 42,453 in Jan to 47,969 in May. District-wise data revealed that Khurda tops the list with 2.10 lakh pending cases, followed closely by Cuttack (2.01 lakh), Balasore (1.34 lakh), and Jajpur (1.02 lakh). Other districts with high pendency include Ganjam (1 lakh), Sundargarh (1 lakh), Bhadrak (98,627) and Angul (91,127). Legal experts and court officials emphasised the urgent need for filling vacant judicial posts, establishing more courts and adopting technological reforms to ease the mounting pressure on the judicial machinery.

Stones pelted at cars on Samruddhi, highway police point finger at local youths
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: In the wake of incidents of stones being pelted at vehicles plying on the Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi Expressway near Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar at night, the highway traffic police said local youths, out of mischief, were engaging in these disruptive acts. A motorist documented video evidence of stone pelting at his vehicle on June 15. The footage also captured similar attacks on two other heavy vehicles, resulting in damaged windshields. Rupali Darekar, the superintendent of police (highway traffic) in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, said these incidents were not linked to robbery or theft attempts. "As per our investigation, local youths are pelting stones at vehicles on the Samruddhi Expressway. We are tracking down the people involved by intensifying the patrolling," she told TOI. Darekar said the young mischief-makers typically wait for police patrol vehicles to pass by and then start pelting stones at cars, aware that it would take the patrol cars a long time to return to the spot. "It takes around half an hour to reach the stone-pelting site by taking a U-turn on the expressway. Youths flee by the time our vehicle reaches the incident spot," she said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tired of Your 2BHK Looking the Same? HomeLane Get Quote Undo Officials drew parallels between these incidents and recent attacks on the Vande Bharat trains across the state. "Those found indulging in such acts jeopardising the safety of others will be subjected to stern action," Darekar said. Police announced increased surveillance on the expressway to ensure traveller safety. Currently, four highway traffic vehicles patrol the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar section, staffed by one police inspector, two sub-inspectors, and 10 constables. The complete 701km six-lane controlled-access Samruddhi Expressway became fully operational from Nagpur to Mumbai on June 5 with the opening of a 76km section between Igatpuri in Nashik and Amane in Thane, attracting increased traffic.
