Dibrugarh: Sivasagar police on Friday arrested a suspect and identified three others in a case where Rs 10 lakh was looted from a postal department employee in broad daylight. One of the identified suspects is a postal employee, who allegedly provided crucial information to the perpetrators.
The incident occurred on Thursday around 11.45 am, when two assailants on a motorcycle attacked Bipul Dutta at Raichai in Demow, while he was transporting cash from the Head Post Office in Sivasagar to Nitaipukhuri sub-post office. The robbers snatched the money and assaulted Dutta, breaking his teeth.
Addressing the media, Sivasagar additional SP (Crime) Moidul Islam said, "The police have cracked the snatching case of Rs 10 lakh from a postal department employee in Sivasagar within 24 hours," Islam said.
The swift police response involved a comprehensive investigation that relied heavily on CCTV footage analysis.

Based on Duwari's revelations, police identified three other persons involved in the elaborate robbery scheme.

ED Officer, Arrested By CBI For Taking Bribe, Released On Interim Bail
Orissa: Enforcement Directorate's Deputy Director Chintan Raghuvanshi, who was arrested by the CBI while allegedly accepting a bribe from a businessman in Bhubaneswar, was released on interim bail from the Jharpada jail on Friday evening. The Orissa High Court granted him interim bail on Wednesday for 10 days on the ground that the young officer became a father on June 28 and he wanted to see his newborn baby and attend some rituals. "The IRS officer was released from jail this evening after the relevant documents from the high court and the lower court were produced to the jail authorities," his lawyer, Lalitendu Mishra, said. A single-judge bench of Justice Gourishankar Satapathy granted the interim bail on the condition that he should not leave the country during the 10-day period. Raghuvanshi and his associate were arrested in Bhubaneswar on May 30 after being allegedly caught red-handed while accepting the bribe amount of Rs 20 lakh from a man who is in mining. According to the CBI, he demanded Rs 5 crore from the businessman, who was involved in certain financial irregularities, to not arrest him. The businessman negotiated it down to Rs 2 crore, and the Rs 20 lakh cash was a part of it.

Samruddhi crash claims 4 members of Umred's prominent trading family
1 2 Nagpur: A devastating accident on Samruddhi expressway in the stretch running through Washim district, snuffed out four members of the prominent Jaiswal family of Umred, 55km off Nagpur. The tragedy occurred late Thursday near channel number 215, between Wanoja and Karanja villages, when the family was returning to Nagpur from Pune by car. Radheshyam Jaiswal, 67, a stalwart in Umred's trading community, his sisters-in-law Madhuri Jaiswal, 52, and Sangeeta Jaiswal, 55, and his granddaughter Vaidehi Jaiswal, 25, a promising techie recently hired by a Pune firm, died in the crash. The ill-fated Ertiga car, driven by Chetan Helge, 25, the lone survivor, collided with a divider before veering off the highway and crashing into the metal railings of the roadside barrier, leaving the vehicle mangled and its passengers trapped. Highway safety patrol personnel worked tirelessly, cutting through iron and steel wreckage to extricate the victims who were rushed to medical facilities in Washim city. Sangeeta and Radheshyam were declared dead after hospitalisation, while Vaidehi and her mother Madhuri succumbed to injuries on the highway. Sources stated Radheshyam's wife too was supposed to return, but decided to stay back overnight and planned to return the following day by train. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Chetan, who suffered severe injuries, is currently recuperating at a local hospital. Radheshyam and his family owned a grocery business and were well-connected in Umred. Washim superintendent of police, Anuj Tare, said preliminary investigations suggest a combination of rain, speed, and possible driver fatigue contributed to loss of control on the drenched expressway. "The driver is likely to have suffered exhaustion and slippery road conditions may have reduced tyre grip after braking," Tare said. The Mangrulpir police are conducting a thorough investigation, and legal action will be initiated against the driver. The Jaiswal family's vehicle, identifiable by a sticker of the Shivasneha organisation, was spotted by a passerby who alerted the Umred community. Kshitij Khanorkar, representing Shivasneha, expressed the town's collective shock — "The Jaiswal family was well-respected, and the loss is unimaginable. The sight of their mangled car shook us." Radheshyam Jaiswal was returning from his eldest son's daughter's naming ceremony in Pune. His wife, who stayed back an additional night, is now grappling with loss. The tight-knit Umred community is rallying support for the grieving family, with local businesses and residents offering condolences and assistance. Scores of relatives and acquaintances thronged the funeral of the Jaiswal family on Friday evening.
