The accused, Amit Mishra alias Bala, reportedly told investigators he lost his temper after his brother, Ravi Mishra alias Arjun Mishra, spoke to him in abusive language. The murder took place at 7:30am on Monday inside their residence in Sector-6 of Jankipuram Extension. According to police, Amit allegedly slammed Ravi multiple times on the floor and then strangled him to death with a dupatta (scarf).

Salesman slapped by excise inspector for charging 10 extra for a beer bottle
Noida: A liquor salesman in Greater Noida was allegedly slapped and pelted with a belt by an excise inspector for overcharging customers. The district excise officer has initiated a departmental inquiry. Manish Kumar (29) of Dadri, who works as a salesperson at a model shop in Jagat Farm, claimed he sustained severe injuries on his limbs and chest after he was brutally assaulted by excise inspector Chandra Shekhar. His family staged a protest outside the DM's office on Saturday after cops refused to register a complaint. The victim claimed Shekhar and a constable came to the model shop around 8.30 pm on Friday and accused him of overcharging customers. "When I told the officer that I did not overcharge, the inspector slapped me multiple times. He removed the CCTV camera's DVR and then put me into his vehicle and took me to the excise office in Greater Noida's Sector Delta 3. Once in the office, he assaulted me with a belt and left me there in a severely bruised state," Manish claimed. The salesman claimed he was left in the excise office for hours before his brother, Rohit, who also works at the model shop, got to know about the assault later that night and came to pick him up around midnight. The family subsequently tried to submit a formal complaint on the emergency helpline, Dial 112, and then at several police posts, but in vain. On Saturday, they gathered outside DM's office in Greater Noida. The district excise officer, Subodh Kumar, told TOI their team had received a complaint against the salesman for charging customers Rs 10 more than MRP for beer bottles on Friday. "Excise inspector Chandra Shekhar and a constable were sent to the shop for an inspection. In his initial statement, the inspector said that when he reached the shop, the salesperson was drunk and misbehaved with them. The two officials took the salesperson to their car to impose a challan, but the latter fled from the spot," the DEO said, adding that it was possible that Manish may have hurt himself later. "A departmental inquiry has been initiated. Appropriate action will be taken based on the findings of the inquiry," the DEO said.

Drunk driver hit, dragged bike intentionally; accused nabbed: Lucknow Police
LUCKNOW A day after a video showing a car dragging a mororcycle along Shaheed Path in Lucknow went viral on social media, the police on Wednesday arrested the accused, saying the 'hit and drag act' was intentional and that the accused and the victim were known to each other. 'The incident, which occurred around 2am on May 26, revealed that the accused, Shrikant Rajput, 39, and the complainant, Achintya Mishra, had prior acquaintance and that the assault was not random, but a deliberate act driven by personal animosity,' said DCP (south) Nipun Agarwal. He added, 'The vehicle used in the incident has also been seized and the man driving the car has been taken into custody.' According to police, Mishra was returning home on his motorcycle when Rajput, driving his car allegedly under the influence of alcohol, tried to overtake him recklessly. 'When Mishra objected, Rajput assaulted him and allegedly issued death threats. Mishra alerted emergency services via Dial 112, prompting Rajput to flee. Shockingly, he returned soon after in the same vehicle, intentionally rammed into Mishra's motorcycle, and dragged it for nearly 1 km, causing significant damage,' Lucknow Police stated in a release. Mishra was not on the motorcycle at the time of impact, the police added. An FIR was registered against the accused under sections 281 (rash driving), 115(2) (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 351(3) (threatening) and 324(4) (mischief causing damage) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at Sushant Golf City police station, the police stated. 'Rajput was summoned to the police station for questioning. But when Mishra also arrived, another confrontation occurred between the two, confirming existing tensions. Despite repeated attempts to pacify him, Rajput remained aggressive and non-cooperative. He was arrested at 3:10pm under Section 170 of the BNSS and sent to judicial custody. During interrogation, Rajput confessed to being intoxicated at the time of incident and admitted to the argument, the threat and the deliberate ramming of the motorcycle,' the release added.

Michael Schumacher's Ferrari sets Formula One record at auction
Michael Schumacher's Ferrari Formula One car that won the 2001 Monaco and Hungarian grand prix races was sold for $18.17m (R324,246,557), according to RM Sotheby's. Selling ahead of qualifying in Monaco on Saturday, the F2001 car that the legendary German driver used en route to that year's world title became the most expensive F1 vehicle driven by Schumacher to be sold at auction. The $18.17m price tag topped the $13.2m (R235,556,112) a bidder paid for Schumacher's 2003 Ferrari F2003 in 2022. It also became the fourth-most expensive F1 car ever sold. The world record sits at $52.52m (R937,227,803), which occurred earlier this year for a Mercedes W196 streamliner that was driven by Formula One legends Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss in the 1950s. Schumacher, now 56, drove the F2001 Ferrari in his fifth and final Monaco Grand Prix win, which he followed up with a victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix. The latter win clinched Schumacher's fourth F1 world title.

Minor found intoxicated in hotel room
Patna: A 15-year-old girl, who was missing since May 20, was found in an inebriated state in a hotel room in Patna district on Thursday. The girl alleged that she was forced to consume alcohol before the alleged gang rape, the police said. Upon receiving the information on Dial 112, the police reached the spot and called the girl's parents after verifying her identity. The station house officer (SHO) said a lady inspector was also sent to the spot. "We received the information at 4pm. When the team reached there, she told her name and gave her mother's contact number. Due to the victim's intoxicated state, she was immediately sent to the Danapur sub-divisional hospital for medical examination," the SHO said. The family has not filed a formal complaint yet, though they have identified one suspect. "The girl left with a youth about two days prior and did not return home since. The investigation is ongoing, but due to being inebriated, the girl is also not able to tell anything. Once she is sober, her statement will be recorded. The police are checking the CCTV footage of the nearby areas," the SHO said. Family members report the victim indicating she suffered abuse whilst staying at the hotel. Police are investigating the boy she left with and his associates as potential suspects. Authorities are also examining the hotel premises where the victim was found.
