Man arrested for sexual assault, abuse after woman files complaint in Hyderabad

HYDERABAD: Film Nagar police have arrested a man on charges of insulting a woman's modesty and criminal intimidation, following a complaint filed by a woman who alleged sustained sexual, physical, and emotional abuse over nearly two years. The accused, Archit Pasupuleti, has been booked under Sections 69 (sexual intercourse obtained through deceit), 79 (insult to a woman's modesty), 89 (causing miscarriage without consent), and 351(3) (criminal intimidation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). According to the complaint, Archit was introduced to the woman through a mutual friend and later contacted her via Instagram. They entered into a relationship during which he allegedly promised to marry her, but instead subjected her to repeated sexual assaults and physical violence. The woman stated that he coerced her into sexual acts under the guise of love, often involving choking, slapping, biting, and other violent behaviour, which left her physically and psychologically traumatised. When she confronted him, he allegedly responded that this was his 'way of showing love.'

'Fundamental concepts and clarity will come from your Foundational Class Notes' - Archit Dongre (AIR-3) at the VisionIAS Toppers' Talk Key insights from Archit's Topper Talk: UPSC preparation strategies ● Time management and discipline are not negotiable: Whether your aspirations are full-time or you balance your job with preparation, careful time management is absolutely essential. If working, strategically schedule study times: early mornings, late evenings, and maximise weekends. Consistent, high-quality study hours should take centre stage. For GS, a set schedule including optional answer writing, even physical exercise, helps build momentum. ● Master Prelims with foundation, practice & revision: Prelims sometimes call for the ability to confidently and accurately attempt a wider range of questions. Although educated guessing is important, it has to be based on thorough practice on rigorous and strong conceptual knowledge. Equally crucial is the extensive post-test analysis , in which the strategy is refined and gaps are found to indicate actual improvement. Using high-intensity simulations like , which improve mental readiness to negotiate uncertainty, helps exam temperament. At last, 's analysis reveals UPSC's main areas of concentration, thus guiding more intelligent and coordinated preparation. ● Fuel your optional choice with real interest : Allow your main compass to be of real interest when choosing your optional subject. Archit chose philosophy since he really enjoyed it, which gave him a natural drive to delve deeply and commit long study hours. ● Embrace consistent answer writing early on: Practice answer writing early and do not wait for the completion of the UPSC syllabus. Start early—even with limited subjects—and develop consistency by means of daily classroom assignments. Emphasise logical structuring of answers, comprehension of the question's demand, and use pertinent statistics and diagrams. While using reference to toppers' copies can help further improve content depth and presentation, regularly practising with PYQs helps match your writing with UPSC's expectations. ● Manage multiple resources with clarity: Archit underlined the need to follow a few primary sources in a time when plenty of new materials and continuous additions keep coming. His approach was simple: depend mostly on foundation class notes for conceptual clarity; add standard book or classroom UPSC study materials; and include current affairs without overwhelming. ● Strategic revision and note-making: Revise old topics as you learn new ones in a cyclical sequence. Revise the pertinent UPSC syllabus carefully before mock tests. Especially for the last weeks, make brief, need-based notes to enable frequent, quick revisions. This method sharpens recall and increases retention. ● Get a resilient attitude and make wellness your top priority: Since UPSC is a marathon and requires constant mental strength, find delight in the learning process, keep the course by scheduling intentional breaks to prevent burnout. With 40–45 minutes of daily exercise and a good diet, keep yourself physically fit, since both directly affect output. Along with disciplined self-study, a supportive peer group helps to increase drive and reinforce learning. ● Approach the interview with genuineness and DAF-centric preparation: Your interview preparation is modelled by your DAF, or detailed application form. Get ready completely on every one of the points your DAF mentioned. Although personality develops over time, committed practice through simulated interviews helps to improve presentation techniques and confidence. It's always better to be honest, even if you don't know the answer. The real confidence comes from being honest and prepared. From a working professional to IPS and ultimately securing AIR 3, Archit Dongre's UPSC preparation path reflects the power of strategic planning, consistent effort, and real passion. His UPSC strategy was based on structure, introspection, and a delight in learning rather than on shortcuts. Archit's timeless UPSC guidance—stay disciplined, enjoy the process, and never stop evolving—applies whether you're just starting or honing your road map. ✅ FAQs: Archit Dongre UPSC AIR 3, 2024 1.

Seeking course upgrade, cyber security student loses ₹1.86L in online fraud

In a rare case of cyber fraud, a Prayagraj resident and engineer pursuing a postgraduate course in Cyber Security in the United States was duped of nearly ₹1.86 lakh by a man posing as a representative of a fake cyber security training institute. The amount was paid in three instalments between September 2023 and January 2025 for an advanced cyber security course that never commenced. The victim, Pratik Bose, an engineer and resident of Georgetown area, is currently pursuing his master's degree in cyber security from a private university in Massachusetts. The matter came to light after his mother, Reena Bose, filed a police complaint at the George Town police station on his behalf. According to the FIR, Pratik had previously worked for around eight years in Kolkata after completing his from a university in Odisha. While studying in the US, he searched for advanced online courses in cyber security and came across a company named Quantum World Technologies Inc., claiming to offer such courses from India. In September 2023, Pratik received a phone call from one Archit Srivastava, a resident of Hazratganj, Lucknow. Introducing himself as a manager at Quantum World Technologies Inc., Archit offered Pratik an advanced cyber security course at a discounted price. Lured by the proposal, Pratik transferred ₹1.75 lakh to the accused's bank account for enrolment in the course. However, the classes never commenced. Three months later, when Pratik enquired about the course status, Archit demanded an additional ₹10,000 as a 'registration fee'. Despite repeated payments and reassurances, the course did not begin even after a year. In January 2025, Archit again demanded ₹1,000 as a 're-registration' fee, claiming a new online batch would start from April 15 due to a company change. When the promised classes failed to materialise, Pratik grew suspicious and informed his mother in Prayagraj. Acting on his instructions, she filed a complaint with the police. Georgetown station house officer (SHO) Santosh Singh confirmed that a case has been registered against the accused, identified as Archit Srivastava alias Archit Nandan of Hazratganj, Lucknow. 'We have lodged a named FIR and are conducting further investigation,' he said. The FIR has been filed under Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Section 66D of the Information Technology (Amendments) Act, 2008.
