2 chain-snatching incidents in a day, woman held in one case
In the first incident, a woman fell victim to chain snatching on a moving bus. According to DCP (west) Hanuman Prasad Meena, Diksha Prajapati reported that she was boarding a bus from Sindhi Camp to Bayana around 3.30pm Tuesday when a woman passenger forcibly snatched the gold chain from her neck. When Diksha resisted, the woman threatened her with a weapon resembling a screwdriver and fled.
In another incident, Sushila Devi (65), a resident of Shanti Nagar in Durgapura, was attacked near her home while returning from a Jain temple.
The incident took place around 7.45pm on a busy stretch in one of the city's upscale localities. Two men on a motorcycle approached her just 200 metres from her house. The pillion rider flung chilli powder at her face before pushing her to the ground and snatching her gold chain.
Fortunately, Sushila Devi's glasses, worn due to an eye operation, shielded her eyes from serious harm. Hearing her cries, a man and a woman nearby rushed to help and attempted to chase the assailants, but the duo managed to flee.

Fazilpuria link or unpaid loan? All theories under scanner in Gurgaon murder
Gurgaon: Days after a gangster claimed responsibility for shooting dead a property dealer linked to rapper Fazilpuria, police are investigating another angle involving an unpaid loan. Delhi-based property dealer Rohit Shokeen's friend, a witness in the case, has told cops that the 39-year-old was asked to come to Gurgaon to collect Rs 30 lakh that he had lent years ago to a friend, Deepak Nandal. Sources said on Wednesday the witness told police that Nandal had borrowed the money from Shokeen in 2023 and hadn't returned it despite repeated requests.

The friendship between the two deteriorated after Shokeen's father last year filed a complaint with the Delhi commissioner's office, alleging that Nandal and his family were threatening them with consequences. Nandal, he said, had borrowed money from Shokeen to make a music video. On Aug 4, Shokeen was standing near his car near Palm Hills society in Sector 77 when two motorcyclists with their faces covered struck him with around a dozen bullets. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Doctors Shocked: New Weight Loss Trick Burns Fat Quickly Her Life & Health Learn More Undo Shokeen's Delhi-based friend survived the attack unhurt as he had just crossed the road to buy cigarettes. "The friend who accompanied Shokeen to Gurgaon but survived the attack told us that Nandal, who lives abroad, had asked him to collect the loaned money from his aides here. But we are still verifying the same," a police officer said. So far, investigators have not concluded any motive for the attack. After the Aug 4 murder, gangster Sunil Sardhania on social media claimed responsibility for killing Shokeen. "I, Sunil Sardhania, got Rohit Shokeen murdered at SPR Road in Gurgaon. Fazilpuria will have to pay our money or else many people will die in this fight," the post declared, mentioning even Deepak Nandal. The police officer told TOI cops are working to authenticate Sardhania's claim made online. TOI reported earlier this week that the murder could be the result of a bitter fallout between Fazilpuria and Nandal, who had previously produced the rapper's songs. Sardhania, a member of the Himanshu Bhai gang, purportedly warned the singer to return Rs 5 crore to Nandal, who had invested in building the rapper's career. Fazilpuria, however, consistently denied any loan arrangements and said that only music labels invested in his career. Cops had briefly detained a food delivery executive who witnessed the murder but was not linked to the shooting. The police officer said they have not found any evidence that indicates the involvement of Shokeen's friend who survived the attack in the murder plan. "We are investigating all possible angles and theories," the officer said.

‘Speed up decision on database of fake rape complaints'
New Delhi: Delhi High Court on Wednesday asked Delhi Police and state govt to expeditiously decide a plea that wants a database of those who file multiple fake complaints of sexual offences, much along the lines of a sex offenders registry. A bench comprising Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela was hearing a PIL that sought its intervention in the form of directions to the police to make people aware of women who repeatedly file fake rape cases. Though declining to issue any directions, the court pointed out that the petitioner had already raised the issue by making a representation to Delhi Police and other authorities and the same should be decided by the authorities in a time bound manner. You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi Without expressing any opinion on the merit of the plea, HC disposed of the plea by asking the police to decide the representation. On the petitioner's request to pass a direction to the authorities concerned to maintain the database, the court said, it was the authorities' domain and "they know better how the policing is to be done" refusing to pass specific directions. "Without expressing any merit on the issues raised, the petition is disposed of with the direction to the authorities to take an informed decision on the petitioner's representation with expedition. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Magnesium Deficiency Causes Heart Attacks!

The plea alleged a rampant misuse of the rape laws at the instance of a few complainants and highlighted that even courts have been forced to express concern about such fake cases.

HC ‘unwillingly' grants 3-week extension to vacate top 18 floors lacking OC of Tardeo highrise
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday 'unwillingly' and on 'humanitarian considerations' granted three more weeks to occupants of the top 18 floors of a 34-storey highrise in Tardeo, south Mumbai — that did not have occupation certificates (OC) — from vacating their premises, at their own risk and face consequences in event of any untoward incident. The court clarified that occupants of floors 17 to 34 of the Willingdon View Cooperative Housing Society tower will have to give an undertaking in that regard within two days, failing which Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) can take action and seal their flats at the cost of occupants failing to file an undertaking before the court. A bench of Justices Girish S Kulkarni and Arif S Doctor was hearing pleas pertaining to the highrise occupied by 50 flat purchasers of a total of 62 flats. The society in its interim application had sought more time to vacate the flats from the 17th floor to the 34th. This comes after the Supreme Court on August 1 dismissed a special leave petition (SLP) by the society that challenged a Bombay HC order from last month that directed 'selfish' residents occupying the top 18 floors and without OCs to vacate their premises within two weeks, the period of which was to expire on August 2. The bench led by Justice Kulkarni had last month clarified that members residing from floors 17 to 34 'would be entitled to occupy the tenements, only after OC is granted.' The bench had also raised concerns over no fire NOC to the entire highrise. The court had pulled up occupants of the tower for 'brazen illegalities' for years and being 'least bothered' about their own and others' lives and had said it cannot permit perpetuating illegalities as the same was deprecated. The bench had said the said occupants were earlier told to make alternate arrangements. The SC bench led by Justice J B Pardiwalla on August 1 had appreciated 'courage and conviction exhibited by the High Court in taking stern steps against such unauthorised constructions'. The SC had asked petitioners to approach HC in case they wanted some more time to vacate the premises. Senior advocate Dinyar Madon for the society claimed that it was difficult for 27 families occupying 18 floors to find alternate accommodation on leave and licenses basis within a short span, therefore the time be extended. 'We were hopeful about SC… There are difficulties. 50 percent of these people belong to the Jain community and Paryushan and Ganesh Utsav will start soon. There are school going children. Getting alternate accommodation for 27 families in short time is difficult,' Madon argued. 'We never had an inclination from the beginning. Everyday we are perpetuating illegality (by continuing occupation) and it cannot happen. You are making a mercy plea that you may be permitted to occupy for more time in the teeth of the law,' the judges orally remarked. 'In the facts and circumstances, we are not inclined to accept prayer (seeking extension of 12 weeks). However, only on humanitarian consideration and quite unwillingly we grant further extension of 3 weeks (from August 6) to the occupants of 17 to 34 floors to vacate their respective tenements and undertaking to that effect be placed before this court within 2 days, ' the HC recorded in its order The court permitted concerned families to occupy the flats for three more weeks at their own risk and disposed of the society's application. The HC said that it will consider the issues related to floors 1 to 16 having part-OC without fire approval during the next hearing on August 13.
