Gym trainer arrested for cheating, sexually exploiting a T'wood junior artiste
Hyderabad: A 27-year-old junior artiste working in Tollywood has lodged a complaint with Jubilee Hills police, alleging that a 30-year-old gym trainer entered into a live-in relationship with her while concealing his marital status, and sexually exploited her multiple times since 2021 under the false promise of marriage. Following her complaint, Jubilee Hills police registered a case and arrested the accused on Saturday. According to the complainant, she had been living independently in the city since 2019 and met the accused at a gym in Gayathri Hills in 2020, shortly before the pandemic. They entered into a consensual live-in relationship in 2021 after the man allegedly assured her that he intended to marry her. During two separate periods of cohabitation — first in Gayathri Hills in 2021 for two months, and later in Manikonda between 2021 and 2022 for nine months — the complainant claimed the suspect sexually exploited her multiple times on the pretext of marriage. She later returned to her native place in Andhra Pradesh before moving back to Hyderabad in November 2023. Initially, she stayed in paying guest (PG) accommodation in Manikonda and subsequently moved to a rented house in Alkapuri Township at the beginning of 2025. She further alleged that in April this year, the accused asked her to arrange 15 lakh, citing their supposed wedding. Trusting him, she transferred 7 lakh via a digital wallet and handed over a further 7 lakh in cash. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo "He only returned 5 lakh and then started avoiding me.

Koppa police crack down on safety violations by autos ferrying schoolchildren
Chikkamagaluru: Koppa police have cracked down on autorickshaws neglecting the safety of children while ferrying them to schools. The police imposed fines on a few and issued warnings to many others. Despite strict warnings to the autorickshaws ferrying schoolchildren not to neglect the safety of students, the drivers continued to violate norms, putting the safety of children in jeopardy. Most of the rickshaws were overloaded with students, and drivers made children occupy their seats to accommodate more passengers. In many cases, autos carried more than ten children. Koppa PSI GK Basavaraj, who noticed an overloaded auto, stopped the vehicle and charged the driver. He questioned the necessity of taking all the students at once and warned him not to put children's lives in danger. The PSI stated that there were several instances where untoward incidents were reported due to the violation of traffic norms. "Life is precious, and a small negligence would prove costly. Thus, everyone must follow traffic norms and must understand that the rules are made for people's safety," the PSI said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Will take strict action: Koppa PSI He appealed to educational institutions as well as parents to ensure that the vehicles carrying their children were in order and that there were no rule violations. "We have imposed penalties on a few autorickshaws and issued warnings to others. We will monitor all the vehicles, particularly those carrying schoolchildren, and initiate strict legal action," he said. Despite parents being aware of dire consequences, many were helpless and sent their children in autos. A parent who wished to maintain anonymity said there was no fixed fare to ferry students. The drivers demand high charges if there are fewer students, and the police and the authorities concerned must take the initiative in this regard and fix prices, he said. The issue is common across the district, and the authorities concerned must take measures to resolve it, suggested activist Pramod. He also added that many school buses violate norms, and the police must check for violations. In many buses, children and teachers were made to stand while travelling, he said.

Karnataka police look to put brakes on wheelie surge across state
Bengaluru: Karnataka is witnessing a sharp rise in dangerous bike stunts, particularly wheelies, posing a growing threat to public safety. Official data reveals a troubling surge in cases, with numbers more than doubling from 2023 to 2024 and projected to climb further in 2025. There have also been fatal accidents involving youngsters performing stunts. As per police statistics, the number of wheelie cases across the state rose from 341 in 2023 to 775 in 2024. The first four months of this year saw 321 cases, indicating that 2025 could end with over 900 cases overall. Wheelie cases from Bengaluru comprise 75% of the total cases in Karnataka. Of the 1,437 cases registered between 2023 and April 2025, as many as 1,057 were reported from Bengaluru. The IT city is followed by Mysuru, Tumakuru, and Ramanagara when it comes to wheelie cases. The high court had recently called for stronger laws to tackle wheeling, urging the state to introduce specific provisions to protect public safety and curb reckless behaviour of motorcyclists. ADGP (traffic and road safety ) R Hitendra said the authorities would adopt different strategies to catch individuals performing stunts. "We have to use local intelligence inputs to gather information on the areas, roads, and vicinities where such stunts are performed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Secondly, we'll use social media to identify them as there will be many videos and pictures of such dangerous adventuring," he said, adding, "We'll also book cases against garage owners and their workers who modify motorbikes for use in wheelie stunts. " When asked about forming new laws and regulations, Hitendra said, "Such decisions are made by the govt, and we're approaching the state govt on the same lines." Impact of social media According to a senior police officer, who worked as superintendent in different districts in Karnataka, the sudden spurt in wheelie cases is the result of social media influence. "Youngsters watch videos of wheeling and other stunts on social media. Such videos/pictures are shared instantly among the like-minded, and they get instigated and decide to perform such stunts. Also, a trend where individuals challenge each other to do such stunts is emerging," he said. What punishment? Adults caught performing wheelie stunts are booked for rash and negligent driving and later fined in court. Also, they must execute a bond, undertaking not to repeat such offences in future. If the offender is a minor, they will be booked under the Juvenile Justice Act. Separate cases will also be filed against the parent/guardian and the vehicle owner. They'll also be fined in court.
