Forty-one-year-old Rajeshbhai Khimjibhai Sakriya, who allegedly attacked chief minister Rekha Gupta during a public grievance redressal programme on Wednesday, works as an autorickshaw driver in Rajkot, Gujarat, and lives with his wife and two sons, police said. The accused in police custody. (ANI) He entered the Civil Lines bungalow, where the event was being held, with a piece of paper and a mobile phone, handed over the paper to the CM, hurled abuses and attacked her, police said. Senior police officers said he held CM's hands and jostled her. She suffered injuries to her hands and head. Delhi Police said Khimjibhai is a repeat offender with a criminal record of five cases, under IPC Section 326 (causing grievous hurt by a dangerous weapon/poisonous substance), Section 504 (Intentional insult causing quarrel or breach of peace), Section 114 (being present at the time of offence and assisting), and law related to liquor ban in Gujarat. He has been acquitted in four of the five cases. The cases were registered in Gujarat between 2017 and 2023. Police said he had four other police complaints against him linked to assault and liquor smuggling. A Delhi Police officer said, 'He is usually involved in bootlegging and assaults on known and unknown persons after getting drunk. We are checking his history and have asked Gujarat Police.' Police said he has been 'misleading' them on the motive of his attack. A second Delhi Police officer, who interrogated him, said, 'He first said his relative was in Tihar jail and he wanted justice for him, but that turned out to be bogus. His family knew he was in Delhi to support animal activists. His family also said he attacked the CM over the recent Supreme Court judgment on stray dogs. They claim he is an animal lover but he has not said anything about it.' 'We think this was a planned attack. He was sharing his details with someone else. We also found that for the past 24 hours, he was looking for ways to meet the CM. After Shalimar Bagh, he spent the night in Civil Lines area,' the officer said. Police said he reached Delhi on Monday, and on Tuesday night, the accused was staying near Gujarat Bhawan in Civil Lines. A purported video of CM's private residence in Shalimar Bagh shows the accused sitting along with other public persons. He later pulls out his phone and records video/photo of his surroundings. They are checking records to locate his accomplices and evidence of his participation in protests over the stray dog issue

Youth tricked by fake job offer in Russia dies of ‘stress'
Pudukottai: A 24-year-old youth from Pudukottai, who was allegedly duped by a Tirunelveli-based agent with the promise of a job in Russia, died at a lodge in Delhi on Aug 13. The family owed his death to the severe mental distress he was in after waiting in vain for three months to fly abroad. The victim, G Rajapandi of Andavarayapuram in Alangudi taluk, had approached job consultant Vadivel Pillai in Tirunelveli hoping to secure employment in Russia. His father, a fisherman, said that the agent collected ₹2.03 lakh from them in instalments since Oct 2024. "The agent assured that Rajapandi would be sent abroad within three months," Rajapandi's brother Ravi Varman said. A petition submitted by the family to the district collector said Rajapandi was first taken to Chennai and then to Delhi in May and made to stay in a private lodge in Vasant Kunj after repeated cancellation of his flight tickets, citing visa issues. The family said he spent over ₹60,000 on accommodation until Aug, while the agent kept delaying his travel. When Rajapandi pressed for a refund, the agent allegedly returned only ₹18,000 in small amounts through online transfers. Struggling under debt after pawning his mother's jewellery and borrowing from neighbours, the youth was under immense mental pressure, Ravi said. On Aug 13, Rajapandi was found dead at his lodge in Delhi. CCTV footage shows him suddenly collapsing while trying to open the door. His body was brought to Chennai after post-mortem. While doctors in Delhi have indicated a possible cardiac arrest, the family does not accept it, and are awaiting the final post-mortem report for clarity. Along with their petition, the family also submitted WhatsApp voice messages in which Rajapandi is heard lamenting to his friends that Vadivel Pillai had cheated him. The family has urged the authorities to initiate action against the agent on charges of cheating and abetment of suicide.

Woman kingpin gives cops the slip, Kolkata Police fears girl gang behind 1cr con
Kolkata: On a day when the Chandigarh Police returned empty-handed from Golf Green in search of Manisha Dhar — a female cybercriminal wanted in over 10 states for involvement in dozens of bank frauds, the Kolkata Police fears that her gang might have just carried out a con job involving around a crore inside a Burrabazar shop in central Kolkata. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Later, she and her gang members may have fled from the city, cops suspect. In her late thirties, Dhar runs the gang involved in several frauds across north India since 2015, police said. In the fresh case in Kolkata, a case of fraud was registered at the Burrabazar Police Station following a complaint by a 44-year-old employee of a cosmetics firm. On Aug 13, a woman employee of the firm was cheated by some unknown individuals, who allegedly convinced her to deliver cosmetic goods worth around a crore under false pretences. According to the complaint, the accused contacted the victim over phone, claiming to have deposited the amount in the shop's proprietor's account. They sent a fraudulent bank cash deposit slip to support their claim. Trusting the authenticity of the transaction, the victim arranged for the delivery of the goods to a vehicle on Aug 14. However, after the delivery, the accused became unreachable, prompting the victim to realise the deceit. The case was filed under sections 3(5), 61(2), 318(2), 336(3), and 340(2) of the BNS, which pertain to criminal conspiracy and cheating. Cops are currently tracing the mobile number and vehicle registration to identify and apprehend the culprits. According to police sources, the modus operandi is in line with Manisha's gang. Cops in both Bengal and Punjab are uncertain about Manisha's origin. They are unsure if she had her real home in Kolkata or grew up in some other state. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "About twelve years ago, Manisha established a network across various states in northern India. The police allege that she formed a full-fledged fraud gang. The primary targets of Manisha and her gang were branches of banks. Members of her gang would enter banks posing as customers and steal cheques. They would then fill out RTGS forms and forge signatures effortlessly. Afterwards, they would deposit the cheques into their accounts and embezzle the entire amount. In this manner, the fraudsters swindled nearly Rs 50 lakh from various banks in Chandigarh alone," explained an officer. Manisha and her gang members, who changed their addresses frequently, carried out similar frauds in other states as well, cops said. Non-bailable charges were pending against Manisha, said police sources.
