Man Arrested For Stealing Gold Biscuits In Delhi Metro, Rs 3 Lakh Recovered
New Delhi: The Delhi Police have arrested a habitual thief involved in the theft of gold biscuits worth lakhs from a passenger travelling through a metro train. The main accused, identified as 29-year-old Sonu Chand, was apprehended with Rs 3 lakh in suspected stolen proceeds, unveiling a broader nexus involving associates tied to the gold trade. According to Delhi Police, on July 11, a case of gold theft was registered at PS Raja Garden Metro on the complaint of Amit Santra, who reported the theft of gold biscuits weighing 141.670gm from his side bag while travelling in a running Metro Train between Bahadurgarh to Shadipur Metro Station. A joint team of PS Raja Garden Metro and Special Staff was constituted under the supervision of senior officers to crack the case and recover the stolen property. The team worked relentlessly, following multiple leads and analysing technical evidence. During the investigation, the team undertook meticulous scrutiny of CCTV footage from various metro stations and train coaches. The footage helped identify the suspect, who was tracked step-by-step over the next few days. On July 23, the prime suspect, Sonu Chand (age 29 years), a resident of Delhi, was arrested. During the interrogation, it was revealed that the accused is a habitual offender involved in similar thefts. He confessed to the crime and disclosed that he had sold the gold biscuit, keeping the proceeds hidden at his residence. The police team recovered a cash amount of Rs 3 lakhs under proper documentation through a seizure memo, which is suspected to be the sale proceeds of the stolen gold. Further interrogation led to the disclosure of two more associates, Jai Prakash Tiwari (age 31 years), and Sumit Shinde (age 21 years), owner of a gold and silver refinery situated at Bidanpura Karol Bagh, New Delhi. During the further course of investigation, accused Sonu Chand and Sumit Shinde were arrested, while one associate, Jai Prakash Tiwari, has been bound down in the case as per legal provisions. Accused Sumit is on PC Remand for further investigation, and a raid is ongoing to trace the remaining stolen property. The accused, Sonu Chand, usually targets metro commuters, especially during peak hours. He identifies vulnerable passengers, and using the rush and distraction in crowded compartments, steals valuables like cash and jewellery from bags and swiftly deboards at the next station. Sonu Chand was currently working as a tobacco and paan vendor, but is a notorious repeat offender, previously involved in six theft cases registered across various police stations in Delhi. Further investigation is underway.

Tiwari, seniormost GMC doctor, named new dean
Panaji: Dr Jai Prakash Tiwari , professor of nephrology, was appointed as the new Dean of Goa Medical College and Hospital (GMC) by the govt on Tuesday. Dr Shivanand Bandekar retired as the Dean on Monday. For the last four years, the govt did not appoint Tiwari as GMC dean despite him being the most senior doctor at GMC as per the seniority list. This is the second time the govt has issued an order to appoint Tiwari as dean. Tiwari joined GMC in 1995 and became a professor in 2001. He was instrumental in setting up the dialysis and kidney transplant facility for the first time at the state's premier . He was also instrumental in starting a specialised course called DM Nephrology, which is offered in a few govt-run medical colleges. Since 2021, the Goa Public Service Commission (GPSC) has been recommending Tiwari's name for the top post at GMC. In 2022, the personnel department under chief minister Pramod Sawant issued an order to appoint Tiwari as dean, but a few hours later, health minister Vishwajit Rane requested Sawant to keep the order in abeyance. Bandekar was appointed dean in February 2019 after former Dean Dr Pradeep Naik was asked to report to the office of the public health department. Earlier, the state govt rejected the recommendation of the GPSC. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Doctor's Day 2025 , messages and quotes!

Varanasi District Judge inaugurates plantation drive, stresses water conservation
Varanasi: On World Environment Day, District Judge and Chairman of the District Legal Services Authority Jai Prakash Tiwari inaugurated a plantation programme and flagged off an awareness rally on Thursday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Speaking on the occasion, the District Judge highlighted this year's mission of Uttar Pradesh State Legal Services Authority, Lucknow, which focuses on 'Save Water, Save Environment, Save Earth' campaign, stressing the necessity of water conservation. He pointed out that drinkable water on Earth is limited, while ocean water, despite its abundance, cannot be used, as the existence of agriculture, animals, and all humanity depends on the storage capacity of freshwater. He emphasised the need to conserve drinking water and make efforts to save water at home. For example, a significant amount of water is wasted during the filtration process of RO machines, but by storing the discharged water from the machine, it can be used for plants and cleaning, saving approximately 2 to 3 buckets of water per household daily. Additionally, the District Judge advocated for planting trees at home to maintain a green environment, which can help control the surrounding temperature and save electricity. A plantation programme was organised at IIT-BHU. Dean of Faculty Affairs Prof NK Mukhopadhyay, Administrative In-charge Prof Ranjit Mohanty, and Registrar Rajan Srivastava led the event.
