Noida cop murder case: Ghaziabad police announces rewards for those on run
The Ghaziabad police on Saturday announced a reward of ₹25,000 each for information leading to the arrest of four absconding suspects allegedly involved in the mob attack that led to the killing of Noida police constable Saurabh Kumar on the night of May 25 in Nahal village, officials said. A seven-member Noida police team had arrived at Nahal village around 11pm on May 25 to arrest Qadir, who was a suspect in the theft of a music system and ECM from a Verna car. The theft allegedly occurred on the night of May 2–3, and a first information report (FIR) was lodged at Phase 3 police station in Noida on May 21 against an unidentified person. The Noida police, in their FIR lodged at Masuri police station in Ghaziabad on May 26, stated that they were attacked twice by a mob that resorted to indiscriminate firing, during which Constable Saurabh was shot in the head and killed. 'The CCTV footage which we recovered has indicated that there were about 25–30 persons in the mob. They resorted to pelting stones at the police team. The videos available with us to date show that no one had any firearms or weapons with them,' said Surendra Nath Tiwary, DCP (Rural Zone), Ghaziabad. Tiwary added that 15 people, including Qadir and his brother Adil, have been arrested, while four others remain absconding. 'We have announced a reward of ₹25,000 each for their arrest,' Tiwary said. The Ghaziabad police maintained they were not formally informed by Noida police about the operation. They also said that only one bullet casing was recovered from the scene, even though Saurabh was shot from close range, according to the autopsy report. 'So far, we do not have evidence that could indicate that any of the arrested suspects fired a shot at Saurabh. Our investigation is continuing with eight teams, and we have roped in informers to locate any other video footage or clues,' Tiwary added. The FIR has been filed under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including murder, attempt to murder, rioting, assault on public servants, criminal conspiracy, and criminal intimidation, along with provisions under the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act.

UK heatwave maps show exact areas in line for 29C scorcher
Brits are facing a mixed weather outlook over the coming weeks with parts of the country set to see scorching temperatures while other areas will have milder conditions and more showers Weather maps show that the UK could soon see scorching temperatures hitting 29C in a mixed outlook with other areas much cooler. A Spanish plume will bring balmy conditions over the coming days to mainly the south of the UK while the north and west are set to see showers and cooler temperatures. And this is a pattern which is expected to continue into the middle of next month where the mercury could touch nearly 30C. A map from WXCharts for June 11 is orange for parts of the south where there is a high of 27C in the London area and it remains in the high 20Cs towards the Bristol area but in Cornwall it will only be in the mid to high teens. Similarly further north it is a lot cooler with coastal areas of Scotland, north west England and Wales seeing the mercury in the mid teens. Then on June 12 it is even warmer with temperatures reaching 29C in the south east and the hot weather stretches further across the east of England and the Midlands. It is predicted to be warmer as well in most areas but still making only the mid teens in parts of Scotland, Wales and the south west of England. Unusually hot weather for the time of year is being felt in Spain currently where temperatures could hit 40C this weekend and that air is moving northwards and reaching southern parts of the UK. While low pressure systems sweeping in off the Atlantic will bring rain for the north and west. Longer term, the current changeable conditions are set to remain well into June with the Met Office saying there is a chance of "hot conditions' developing in the middle part of next month. The national weather agency states: 'An unsettled spell of weather is expected through the middle and later part of next week as areas of low pressure move in from the Atlantic across the UK. These will bring showers or longer spells of rain to most areas, these heavy at times, perhaps accompanied by strong winds along some coasts. 'Over the following weekend and towards the middle of June, dry weather will probably begin to become more dominant in the south, whereas the north is more likely to remain more unsettled with further episodes of rain or showers and strong winds. Temperatures are likely to be close to or slightly below normal at first, perhaps rising above average later, with a low chance of hot conditions developing for a time.' The ECM weather model is currently predicting a mini heatwave for early to mid June with the mercury hitting 30C in south east England and 24-26C in parts of Wales. However other modelling is more pessimistic, indicating seasonal averages only. For late June, the complex weather pattern means the Met Office's Forecast Confidence Index is currently 'slightly below average', reflecting some uncertainty. But the forecaster is cautiously optimistic. 'The general trend suggests a gradual return to more settled conditions as we move into June,' it said. 'Probabilistic pressure models hint at high pressure building from the south or southwest. While this doesn't guarantee prolonged dry spells, it does suggest a shift toward more stable weather, especially in the south. The north west, however, may still see occasional incursions of wetter weather due to the mobile nature of the pattern.'

Heatwave map highlights temperature spike as summer conditions to return
Hot weather is set to return to Ireland but we will be made to wait. This week has seen a turn for the worse in most areas as the country deals with a spell of rain, wind and a drop in temperatures during a period of low pressure for the island. This comes as temperatures soar in Europe and Ireland could benefit from the warmer temperatures but it will be more than a week before such conditions land here. Countries such as Spain, France and other areas in northern Europe are experiencing temperatures more than 15C higher than the average for this time of year. Met4Cast posted the map on X, writing: "The overnight ECM is signalling some very concerning heat across Spain, France & indeed Europe with temperatures some 10-16°C above average for the time of year." The south of the United Kingdom will have better luck availing of the heatwave conditions affecting Europe this week but it won't be until closer to the middle of June that Ireland experiences a spike in temperatures. Speaking of the week beginning on June 9, a Met Eireann spokesperson said: "This will bring more settled and warmer conditions with temperatures increasing slightly above average across the country. It will be drier also with rainfall amounts below average nationwide." The remainder of this week, including the Bank Holiday weekend, will be dominated by unsettled conditions so rain, wind and slightly cooler temperatures are forecast. This is due to a mobile Atlantic regime taking hold and bringing with it changeable weather for the most part over the next week or so.

Constable's murder: Nahal residents terrified after police raids
Ghaziabad A week after a Noida police constable was shot dead during a raid in Ghaziabad's Nahal village, the arrest tally has risen to 14. But according to residents, at least 50 to 60 more men have been picked up or detained in sweeping midnight raids that have left the village nearly deserted and families on edge. Around 70% of the village residents vacated by Tuesday, but the situation of those staying behind remained tense, locals said, adding that the village has heavy police presence and their property has been damaged by police in late-night raids. Forty-five-year-old Nazreen, standing beside a half-broken portion of her house's main door, blamed police for the damage, alleging a group of policemen forcefully entered her residence and conducted a raid late Monday. 'It was the second night after the murder. Dozens of policemen barged in well past midnight, broke the door, and stormed the house looking for my sons,' she said. 'They live and work at a mill. They've been there for 10 days. I kept telling the police, but they searched the whole house.' Locals claimed that at least 50—mostly men aged between 20 and 35—men were picked up on suspicionbut have yet to return or be officially acknowledged as arrested. 'Overall, we called about 50-60 persons for questioning. Thirteen were formally arrested, while Qadir was already arrested. Others were allowed to go. We are carefully investigating the case based on evidence,' said Surendra Nath Tiwary, deputy commissioner of Ghaziabad police (rural). Noida police constable Saurabh Kumar was shot dead on Sunday night by unidentified people in a mob, when a group of seven officers were visiting the village to arrest one Qadir, an accused in a case of a music system and ECM theft from a car on the intervening night of May 2 and 3 in Noida. The Noida police registered an FIR for theft on May 21 against unidentified persons at the Phase 3 police station and conducted a raid around 11pm on May 25. Nazreen said that the policemen, besides breaking the main door of the house, damaged a big mirror, a washing machine, and a desert cooler. 'They stayed in my house for about half-an-hour and kept questioning my family. I told them that they should look for the actual person who shot the constable, and spare innocent people. Ever since, I have been using a charpoi to cover the main door to keep my house shut,' she said. Forty-year-old Munni, who stays near Nazreen's house, said a group of over 30 policemen raided her house in the night as well. 'They were banging on the door, and when we did not open, they broke it open. They detained my husband, Nazar Mohammad and my brother-in-law's son, Sultan. They were asking if there were more men in the house. They also broke water taps with their lathis.' 'For the past three days, we cooked nothing. The whereabouts of my husband and my nephew are still unknown. We heard that they were kept in Modinagar's Niwari. My husband is a daily wage worker. Now, I am left with only my minor daughter and my mother-in-law in the house,' Munni said. She said her three sons were spared as they worked outstation, at Rishikesh and Dadri. Police, however, denied the allegations. DCP Tiwary said: 'Claims that police resorted to damage to the houses are baseless and such allegations are false. No such thing happened.' The village is located about three kilometres from National Highway 9, alongside the Upper Ganga Canal, and falls under the jurisdiction of the Masuri police station. Discrepancies in police versions The raid by Noida police in Ghaziabad and the subsequent death of the constable have exposed a lack of coordination between the Gautam Budh Nagar and Ghaziabad police. The versions provided by the police also point to differing sequences of events that took place during the raid. The FIR lodged by Noida police at Masuri police station in Ghaziabad on Monday was registered under multiple stringent sections of the BNS, including murder, attempt to murder, rioting, assault on a public servant, and criminal conspiracy, along with provisions of the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act. It named Qadir, his brother, and unidentified others as accused. The Noida police also said in the FIR that they were twice attacked and fired upon indiscriminately by the mob in Nahal. However, Ghaziabad police said there was no evidence to prove the same. Maintaining that the Noida police failed to inform them in advance about the raid, Ghaziabad police said the investigation so far did not show there was indiscriminate firing. They maintained that only one bullet casing was found at the scene of the incident. 'All the 14 suspects were booked as they were part of the mob, as indicated in the CCTV videos. As of now, we have sent them to jail under the sections mentioned in the murder FIR lodged by the Noida police. The role of each suspect will be identified during the investigation, and the final sections imposed on each of them will be ascertained in the charge sheet,' DCP Tiwary said.
