His scooter stolen in 2021, Surat man gets e-challan for traffic violation
A Surat-based business man has received a message on his mobile phone recently informing him about an e-challan dated April 2025 for violation of traffic rules. The offence: riding a vehicle without insurance. The penalty amount was Rs 2,000. The problem was the scooter mentioned in the e-challan was stolen on November 3, 2021, and he had filed a police complaint way back then, but no action was taken by the police. This is not the first time Naresh Bhola, who runs an embroidery thread material shop in a commercial complex at Ashwani Kumar road in Varachha, Surat, was getting a challan for his stolen scooter. On November 8, 2022, Bhola received an e-challan with a penalty amount of Rs 500 from the Surat police traffic department, for 'talking on a mobile phone while riding his bike at Sosyo Circle in Bhatar area'. 'I did not pay any attention to it as my scooter was stolen and I was not using it, and I had already filed a police complaint,' he told The Indian Express. On 10th April 2023, police men from Katargam station came to his home with a warrant to remain present in the Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) court in Surat on April 12. 'I reached the court and submitted a copy of the application given to the Katargam police station, and told the court that my scooter was stolen in 2021. The warrant was later cancelled,' he said. Bhola said that at that time, he again filed a complaint with Katargam police requesting them to file a theft complaint, but the police didn't take any action. A resident of Dabholi village in Surat, Bhola again filed a complaint with Katargam police on Tuesday stating that his scooter parked outside the shopping complex where he runs the shop was stolen on November 3, 2021. On Tuesday evening, police registered a theft case based on his complaints. Katargam police inspector B K Chaudhary said, 'A theft case has been filed based on a complaint filed by Naresh Bhola. A copy of the FIR will be sent to the JMFC court so that he cannot face any warrant.' He also said that the police will also check why an FIR was not registered in 2021 when Bhola filed a complaint with the police. He added, 'We have intimated the traffic police control room and Surat city police command and control centre to keep an eye on the scooter so that we can catch the rider.' Bhola now hopes that the police will crack the theft case, finally.

In Jharkhand, woman accuses massage chair operator of filming her. Video sparks outrage
At Jharkhand's Jasidih railway station, a disturbing incident has come to light involving a massage chair operator accused of secretly recording a woman while she used the facility. The incident has sparked outrage, especially after a video capturing part of the encounter was uploaded by Brut India and circulated widely on social media. The video shows the woman confronting the massage chair operator about the secret filming. When the operator remained silent, a man accompanying the woman confronted and physically assaulted the operator. The woman then demanded that the operator summon the manager to address the matter. Railway officials have reportedly taken cognisance of the incident, though it remains unclear if any formal action has been taken against the accused operator. Under Indian law, filming a person in a public space is not illegal per se; however, misuse of such footage is punishable under the Information Technology Act, with penalties including up to three years imprisonment and/or a fine of ₹ 2 lakh. The video shared by Brut India has ignited widespread public outrage, with netizens condemning the invasion of privacy and demanding strict accountability for those involved. A user shared a similar instance, 'People record me all the time without my consent, as I'm a foreigner in India. I always confront them on the spot and am ready for a fight. But I understand not every lady is ready to do that. She shouldn't have to.' Another user asked, 'Why isn't there a law against this?' 'The problem is technology reached every individual before education and basic civic sense,' the third user wrote. 'Privacy is a joke in our country,' the fourth wrote on Instagram. The fifth user wrote, 'And the justice system is worried about the street dogs!'
