Kolkata police order suo motu inquiry into claims of injury of RG Kar victim's mom
KOLKATA: Police in Kolkata have opened a suo motu probe into allegations that the RG Kar medical college rape-murder victim's mother was wounded during Saturday's march to Bengal secretariat Nabanna, setting off a political slugfest between TMC and BJP over who was to blame. The parents have not filed a formal complaint, but BJP said the matter may be raised in Calcutta HC Monday. Police commissioner Manoj Verma said on Sunday that officers are reviewing footage from bodycams, traffic and drone surveillance, and TV broadcasts to determine how and where the parents were allegedly attacked. "Until we analyse the footage from different angles, it's not possible to say what happened. We are conducting a detailed inquiry," he said. The victim's father questioned the probe's credibility, citing the alleged failure to review last year's RG Kar CCTV footage and warning the latest one could be "AI-generated". He alleged RAF personnel beat his wife with sticks and pushed him during the march. Police allegedly resorted to mild lathi charge while pushing the crowd back, and the couple stumbled. The mother claimed a head wound. She was discharged Sunday from a private hospital, which said her condition was stable. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 90's Icon: See Her Stunning Photos Now Cash Roadster Undo Her husband alleged the hospital initially reported a serious head wound but later changed it to an "accident" under political pressure. "We refused to accept (the new report) and will inform the court," he said. TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh called the allegations an "outright lie" and challenged the parents to produce proof of police hitting them. He accused BJP functionaries of pushing the parents forward "for a photo op". The march, marking the first anniversary of the crime, was called by Bengal assembly leader of opposition Suvendu Adhikari (BJP) and backed by the parents. BJP's Kaustav Bagchi said the parents were likely to lodge a complaint soon.

Residents raise alarm over dust and danger as PVVNL leaves roads dug up for months
Noida: Incomplete repair work by Paschimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (PVVNL) has raised concerns among residents across Noida, with many complaining of rising pollution levels and daily commuter hazards. The issue stems from repeated road diggings undertaken by the power department for underground cable laying and fault repairs, which are allegedly left unpatched for months at a stretch. Residents of Sectors 58, 59, 60, and several others say the problem is no longer limited to inconvenience, it has become a health and safety hazard. Monsoon rains have worsened the condition of the dug-up roads, many of which now lie waterlogged or crumbling. "For over a year now, PVVNL has been digging up roads in the name of repairs or underground cabling, and once the work is done, no one returns to fix the roads," said Amit Gupta, a resident of Sector 77, who has taken the matter to the Gautam Buddh Nagar district magistrate. Gupta submitted GPS-tagged photographs highlighting the condition of key stretches in his formal complaint.

The area was made dust-free with great effort, and now it's back to square one," Gupta added. Sunil Kumar from Sector 76 echoed the concerns. "The dust pollution becomes unbearable during summers and winters. It's not just about discomfort; it's affecting our health." While acknowledging the need for infrastructure upgrades, Gupta questioned the outdated methods being used for implementation. "In Srinagar, I saw an efficient model, three conduits laid under footpaths with access chambers at regular intervals. If a repair is needed, they simply open the chamber. No road cutting is required. Why can't Noida adopt such a system?" Currently, road repair work is typically scheduled before and after the monsoon, but residents argue that the lack of coordination between utility departments and the Noida Authority leads to prolonged delays and worsened road conditions. An official response from the Authority remains pending. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Nashik: A man from Jalgaon defrauded 19 people of Rs 55 lakh by posing as the personal assistant of then Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde, police said on Sunday. The case, initially registered with the Shanipeth police station of Jalgaon on Friday, was subsequently transferred to the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Jalgaon police. Inspector Sandeep Patil of the EOW said that teams have been formed to locate the accused, and he will soon be arrested. According to the complaint filed on Aug 8, the accused approached the complainant in Nov 2024 through an acquaintance, claiming to be the PA of Eknath Shinde, who was overseeing administrative work in the Mantralay. The accused presented a Maharashtra govt identity card and claimed that he could secure a job in the Railways or have any other work at the Mantralay level done. He further persuaded the complainant by offering to obtain flats under the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) schemes and facilitate car rentals through the Railways. Inspector Patil said: "Trusting his claims, the complainant paid Rs 7 lakh to secure a job for his wife in the Railway department and an additional Rs 6 lakh for a flat in Thane under the MHADA scheme between Nov 2024 and Feb 2025. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like We Have No Words For Dog The Bounty Hunter's Transformation.

Yogi: Ensure land rights to 10,000 families in UP displaced from East Pak
Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday directed officials to provide land ownership to over 10,000 families which were displaced from the then East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, between 1960 and 1975, and settled in and around Pilibhit, Lakhimpur, Bijnor and Rampur. The CM said if land was not available, alternative plots should be provided to affected families. Officials said that though these families were settled for years and constructed homes, land had not been transferred to them legally for various reasons. Calling this action a "national responsibility" and not just a matter of land transfer, the CM said, "This would be an opportunity to acknowledge the years of struggle these families went through after leaving their homes and moving to India to resettle." "These families, which took refuge in India and have waited for rightful rehabilitation, must be treated with sensitivity and dignity. It is the moral responsibility of the govt," he said. The CM said that with the repeal of the Govt Grants Act in 2018, it was necessary for the govt to explore alternate legal mechanisms to provide land rights to the resettled families. He directed officials to look for new provisions within existing laws to address these issues. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Harry Potter Actress Stuns Fans With Grown-up Pics Cash Roadster Undo "This is not just a policy decision. It is a sensitive and historic step toward delivering justice to those displaced families which have lived in uncertainty for decades. This effort must be viewed through the lens of social justice, humanity and national responsibility. It is a chance to restore dignity to lives long overlooked," the CM said. During a meeting on Monday, officials told the CM that between 1960 and 1975, thousands of families left the then East Pakistan due to communal violence and settled in Pilibhit, Lakhimpur Kheri, Bijnor and Rampur districts. Once they left transit camps, these families were settled in these districts and provided agricultural land, but even now, most of them do not have legal ownership due to discrepancies in records and administrative delays. "Although land has been allotted in several villages, various legal and administrative hurdles, including land being recorded under the forest department, incomplete transfer procedures, and a lack of physical possession, have prevented many families from receiving formal land rights. In some areas, families from other states have also been resettled but continue to remain without legal ownership," an official informed the CM. "In many villages, the displaced families have been cultivating land for years and have even constructed permanent homes, but their names are missing from official land records. There are cases of original allottees no longer residing in these areas. Additionally, in certain areas, individuals have taken possession of land without completing the necessary legal formalities, leading to complications," the official said.
