Prohibitory Order Imposed In Indore Till July 4
Indore: In a bid to uphold peace and public order within Indore, Police Commissioner Santosh Kumar Singh has enacted "prohibitory order" under Section 163 of the Indian Civil Code 2023. Any violation of this directive will result in punitive action under Section 223 of the Indian Justice Code 2023. The order will remain in effect until July 4, 2025, the order posted in X account of the District Collector said. As per the provisions outlined, no individual or group within the urban limits of Indore may host any event that could incite hostility between communities. Any form of provocative speech or dissemination of misinformation -- whether in person or through social media -- that targets religious sentiments or threatens communal harmony is strictly prohibited, the order said. The order also forbids the stockpiling of materials such as bricks, stones, soda bottles, glass containers, flammable substances, or explosives in open spaces or on rooftops -- objects that could be used in acts of violence or intimidation. Additionally, improper publications that could stir communal discord are prohibited, the order noted. No person shall verbally or digitally spread false information or rumours that may disrupt the peace, it said. The use of religious symbols or language on social media in a manner that could incite animosity is deemed a punishable offence, it added. Social media group administrators are held accountable for ensuring their platforms remain free of inflammatory content. If any such content is posted, it must be promptly removed, the responsible party expelled, and local authorities notified. Regulations for cybercafes have also been tightened. Operators must verify the identities of all visitors through valid documentation, including identity cards, voter ID cards, ration cards, driving licenses, or PAN cards. No cybercafe may function without a maintained registry recording each visitor's details. Additionally, cafes must install web cameras to document users' photographs, keeping these records securely stored for a minimum of six months. These measures aim to safeguard public safety, prevent communal unrest, and reinforce accountability in both physical and digital spaces, ensuring Indore remains a secure and harmonious city, the order said.

MP Govt Teacher Demands Dowry After Engagement, Calls Off Wedding When Bride's Father Refuses
Last Updated: A Jabalpur teacher demanded Rs 11 lakh and a car as dowry, ending his engagement when demands were unmet. The girl's family filed a complaint under the Dowry Prohibition Act 1961 Efforts to eliminate the practice of dowry in India have been ongoing for many years, with increasing awareness campaigns highlighting that dowry is both unethical and illegal. Despite these efforts, the exchange of dowry continues, often driven by societal pressures or a desire to impress others. Shocking Incident In Jabalpur A disturbing incident has come to light from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, where a government school teacher demanded dowry from his fiancée's family shortly after their engagement. The incident, which occurred in Jabalpur's Sanskardhani area, has sparked public outrage. After exchanging engagement rings, the teacher demanded Rs 11 lakh in cash and a car from his father-in-law. When these demands were not met, he ended the engagement just five days before the wedding. The girl's family, who attempted to reconcile, were reportedly thrown out of his home. In response, the girl's family has filed a complaint with the police. Details Of The Engagement The engagement, held in Trimurti Nagar, Gohalpur, on April 27, was initially a joyous occasion. The girl's family had gifted jewellery and offered Rs 2 lakh in cash. The wedding was set for May 6. However, following the engagement, the boy's family unexpectedly demanded an additional Rs 11 lakh in cash and a car. Unable to meet these extravagant demands, the girl's family found themselves facing the abrupt cancellation of the wedding just days before the planned ceremony. Following the cancellation, the girl's family approached the police, explaining that significant financial resources had already been invested in wedding preparations. They accused the boy's family of extortion under the guise of dowry, resulting in the marriage being called off when their demands were unmet. It was also revealed that the boy intended to marry another woman on the scheduled wedding date of May 6. The girl's family has now filed a formal complaint against nine individuals, including the groom, under the Dowry Prohibition Act 1961 and the Indian Justice Code 2023.
