Case Filed Against 2 Navi Mumbai Doctors After 5 Patients Contract Infections
Thane: Five patients suffered from serious eye infections after an operation at a prominent eye hospital in Navi Mumbai, prompting police to register a case against two ophthalmologists who conducted the surgeries without having a license, officials said on Wednesday. The surgeries in question were performed between December 2024 and March 2025 at the private eye hospital located at Vashi in Maharashtra's Navi Mumbai township, they said. "The accused doctors are alleged to have conducted the eye surgeries in a rash, hasty, and negligent manner. As a result, five patients, including a couple aged above 65, suffered severe eye injuries. The victims were diagnosed with serious infections caused by the pseudomonas virus following the surgeries," an official from Vashi police station said. The doctors allegedly carried out the surgeries without the requisite renewal of their licenses from the Maharashtra Medical Council during the period, he said. A First Information Report (FIR) was registered on Monday based on a probe report submitted by the civil surgeon, who conducted a thorough investigation into the victims' complaints. The civil surgeon's report corroborated the allegations made by victims to the police, the official said. The Vashi police registered the FIR against the two doctors under sections 125(a), 125(b) (act endangering life or personal safety of others), and 3(5) (common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita as well as provisions of the National Medical Commission Act, he said. No arrest has been made so far, and a detailed probe is underway, the official added.

Haryana tops in digital policing ranking again, 17th time in 20 months
The Haryana Police have once again made its mark by securing the first position in the country for the 17th time in the last 20 months, in the monthly rankings of the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network System (CCTNS) released by the National Crime Records Bureau, under the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. The latest rankings, released last week, were issued for the month of June. Director General of Police (DGP) Shatrujeet Kapur congratulated the entire CCTNS team and said, 'This success is a result of Haryana Police's new approach, improved working methods, and effective use of modern technology'. 'This achievement reflects the new thinking and professional approach of Haryana Police, where technology has been made an integral part of policing. Digital platforms like CCTNS and the National Automated Fingerprint Identification System (NAFIS) have accelerated the processes of criminal identification, transparent investigation, and timely justice delivery to citizens. With this dedication and teamwork, the Haryana Police will continue to set benchmarks in modern and smart policing across the country,' DGP Kapur said. Sibash Kabiraj, Director of the State Crime Records Bureau (SCRB), said the objective of CCTNS is to develop a fully digital and integrated system for crime investigation, criminal tracking, and case management. 'Several major changes have been implemented over the last two years to enhance technical efficiency and streamline processes within SCRB. As a result of these efforts, the Haryana Police have secured the first position nationwide 17 times in the last 20 months'. Kabiraj stated that Haryana Police have delivered excellent performance across various parameters in the monthly ranking released by the Central Government. 'While the state secured the third position nationwide with a score of 99.99 per cent in August and September 2024, it maintained the first position with a perfect 100 per cent score in other months. Today, all police stations in the state are connected to CCTNS, and all operations such as First Information Reports, Non-Cognizable Reports, medico-legal cases, missing persons, lost property, unclaimed items, unknown dead bodies, foreign registration, preventive actions, investigations, complaints, and progress reports are recorded and monitored entirely in digital form,' Kabiraj said. He hailed the Haryana Police for scaling new heights through the use of technology in criminal identification and solving complex cases. Since 2022, millions of fingerprints have been uploaded on the NAFIS software, and they have been matched with records of arrested accused and unidentified dead bodies, he mentioned. 'A significant number of fingerprint matches have been successfully found with criminal records. Chance prints collected from crime scenes were successfully uploaded and verified on NAFIS. As a result of this technological success, 93 serious criminal cases have been solved, including 22 murder cases. Additionally, 29 unidentified dead bodies have been identified through the NAFIS system', Kabiraj added. To equip police personnel with the effective use of technology, Haryana Police had organised 72 workshops. 'The impact of modern technology is also visible in the field of cybercrime. On the National Cyber Helpline 1930, Haryana Police achieved a 100 per cent score, meaning every single call was attended promptly and immediate action was ensured,' a state police spokesperson said.

Delhi man shot dead near Gurgaon's Kherki Daula Toll Plaza; second shooting incident in SPR area in 3 weeks
A Delhi resident was shot dead in Gurgaon Monday night in what is the second incident involving a shooting in public in the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) area in three weeks. The deceased has been identified as Rohit Shokeen, 39, son of Mahaveer Singh, a resident of Kamruddin Nagar in Delhi's Nangloi, which comes under the Nihal Vihar police station limits. He was gunned down off the SPR Road close to Kherki Daula Toll Plaza in Sector 77 at around 9 pm, the police said. 'The incident is believed to have stemmed from a long-standing property dispute,' a spokesperson for the Gurgaon police said early on Tuesday. 'A detailed investigation is underway to ascertain the circumstances behind the murder. A First Information Report (FIR) will be registered, and further action will be taken based on the evidence collected,' the spokesperson added. According to the police, Shokeen sustained three gunshot wounds. He was rushed to a nearby hospital after Virender Saini, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Manesar, and multiple police teams reached the site after receiving information about a wounded man. Shokeen was declared dead on arrival at the hospital, sources indicated. Authorities have yet to make any arrests in this connection, but police teams remained at the site until at least midnight. The development comes a little over a fortnight after Haryanvi singer-rapper Rahul Fazilpuria, 35, was shot at in the Southern Peripheral Road section near Badshahpur in Gurgaon's Sector 71. He had escaped unhurt in the incident. Fazilpuria was allegedly standing near his SUV when the attackers arrived in another car and opened fire. Soon after, the singer got into his car and sped away. The attacker could not chase him due to the traffic, and he reportedly managed to escape. According to Fazilpuria, the attackers fired at him multiple times, but he was not injured and his vehicle was not damaged. Soon, the police arrested a Sonepat resident who allegedly carried out the recce for the shooting. Later, a post surfaced on social media in which a person claimed responsibility for the shooting and said it was the fallout of a financial dispute involving Rs 5 crore that the singer had allegedly not repaid. CCTV footage had also emerged of a Tata Punch car following the singer prior to the shooting.
