Delhi Police constable injured in attack during raid on bootleggers premises
New Delhi, Aug 5 (PTI) A Delhi Police constable sustained serious injuries after a police team was attacked by a group of people, including a known bootlegger and his family members, during a raid in southeast Delhi's Gautampuri area, an official said on Tuesday. The incident took place on Monday evening after constable Lakhan of the Special Staff in the southeast district received a tip-off about a large consignment of illicit liquor being stored at the residence of Kailash (63), a habitual offender with multiple cases under the Excise Act, he said. 'Acting on the information, inspector Rajinder Singh Dagar, in-charge of the Special Staff, formed a team comprising sub-inspector Shubham and other personnel. The team, dressed in civil clothes, reached the location around 8 pm," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast) Hemant Tiwari said. During initial surveillance, constables Lakhan and Satbir observed Kailash and another man openly selling liquor on the staircase of the house, he added. When the police team attempted to intervene, Kailash allegedly incited the crowd by shouting that someone should be killed to protect the business. Following this, Kailash, his wife Seeta, an associate named Sameer, a 17-year-old juvenile, and several others allegedly attacked the police team with lathis and bricks. Meanwhile, additional police force was called to the spot, and the situation was brought under control. Kailash, Seeta, Sameer, and the juvenile were apprehended, while others managed to flee under the cover of the gathered crowd. A case under relevant sections of the BNS was registered at the Badarpur police station.

Son of daily wage labourers, he cracked Delhi IIT. Meet Lakhan Mahali who can barely write with pen
In a tiny 250 sq. ft home in Jharkhand's remote Rapcha village, with no indoor plumbing or steady electricity, a dream quietly took root. That dream now has a new address: IIT Delhi. Meet Lakhan Mahali , the son of unskilled labourers, who, despite a severe locomotor disability and unimaginable odds, has secured admission to one of India's most prestigious institutions to study Computer Science. Lakhan ranked second in the country among tribals with disabilities in the IIT entrance examination—a feat made even more remarkable by his condition. Due to a genetic bone disorder, he can barely write with a pen. Any attempt at handwriting causes unbearable pain that radiates from his fingers to his elbows, forcing him to stop and rest every few minutes. Yet, he never stopped dreaming. This was shared by a Harvard Business School graduate, Mohnish Pabrai , a renowned investor and founder of the Dakshana Foundation, on X. — MohnishPabrai (@MohnishPabrai) by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Most Beautiful Female Athletes in the World Click Here Undo He shared that Lakhan's mother is not formally educated, and his father didn't finish 10th grade. Both parents work hard jobs, earning less than Rs 125 a day. Despite such poverty—and a younger brother who also suffers from a similar disability—Lakhan remained determined to break the cycle. While traditional writing is painful for him, Lakhan thrives when using a laptop or tablet, which became his bridge to education and possibility. With the help of Dakshana Foundation, which is dedicated to uplifting underprivileged students, he was able to prepare for and ace one of the toughest entrance exams in the country. In 2029, when he graduates from IIT Delhi, Lakhan won't just be earning a degree—he'll be rewriting the future for his entire family.

Yudh Nashian Virudh: 563 held in Mohali in 4 months, 6 drug-linked properties demolished
In a major crackdown against drug trafficking, Mohali police have registered 360 cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act from March 1 to June 25, 2025, resulting in the arrest of 563 accused. The intensified crackdown marks the state's most impactful campaigns against narcotics, Yudh Nashian Virudh, in recent times. As much as ₹ 17.43 lakh in drug money was recovered during operations across the district. (iStock) As per police records, large quantities of narcotics were seized, including 4.338 kg of heroin, 83.235 kg of poppy husk, 58.949 kg of ganja, 51.776 kg of opium, 3.129 kg of charas, 1.830 kg of cocaine, and small amounts of narcotic powder and syrup. In addition, ₹ 17.43 lakh in drug money was recovered during operations across the district. The drive also extended to properties linked with drug peddlers. A total of six properties, including houses, tea vends, and residential rooms in areas like Jandpur, Lalru, Amlala, and Kharar, were demolished under NDPS Act provisions. These actions were taken against repeat offenders such as Lakhan, a resident of Lalru, and Dilpreet Singh alias Billa from Chatoli. The campaign, officials say, is not just about arrests but also about dismantling the infrastructure and financial channels aiding the drug network. Senior officials believe targeting illegal properties used in the drug trade sends a strong message. Speaking on the crackdown, superintendent of police (SP) Deepika Singh said, 'We are detecting, investigating, and acting against every part of the drug network. This is not a one-time drive, it will continue with full force. Future offenders will face strict action. At the same time, we are also working on rehabilitation efforts for addicts, because breaking the demand cycle is just as important as targeting the supply.' Officials said that the operations will intensify in the coming weeks.
