Man gets life term for murder 14 years ago
Noida: An additional sessions court on Thursday sentenced a Dankaur man to life imprisonment in connection with a 2011 murder case and imposed a fine of Rs 50,000, declaring him guilty under section 302 of the IPC. While his accomplice was acquitted of murder charges for the benefit of doubt, both were convicted of possessing illegal weapons. The victim's uncle's testimony proved crucial for the prosecution. On Dec 15, 2011, Shehzad, nephew of complainant Bhanvar Singh, was intercepted near farmland by convict Lokendra Singh and his aides, who shot him at close range, killing him instantly. Bhanvar promptly filed an FIR against Lokendra and unidentified accomplices for the murder. The prosecution presented 13 witnesses, including the complainant, victim's brother, the medical officer who conducted the postmortem, and investigating policemen. The defence called two independent witnesses, denying the charges by claiming the victim and accused were from the same village and politically active, arguing the case was falsely lodged to settle political scores.

Pistol, Ammo Purchased By Raj Kushwaha Found, Was Backup Option For Killing Raja Raghuvanshi
Last Updated: Shillong police found a packet with a country-made pistol, two magazines and ammunition in Indore, which were allegedly purchased by Raj Kushwaha to kill Raja Raghuvanshi. Raja Raghuvanshi Murder Case: Shillong police, who are investigating the murder of Indore businessman Raja Raghuvanshi, have recovered a country-made pistol, two magazines and ammunition that were purchased by his wife's alleged lover Raj Kushwaha for a second murder attempt in case the first attempt failed. Raja's wife, Sonam Raghuvanshi, is the prime suspect in her husband's murder while they were spending their honeymoon in Meghalaya, with police claiming she orchestrated the crime with her lover, Raj Kushwaha. She was traced to a dhaba on the Varanasi-Ghazipur main road and was taken into custody. Raja was allegedly killed by three hitmen hired by Raj Kushwaha in Meghalaya and his decomposing body was found later. However, a police unit found a country-made pistol with two magazines, ammunition and Rs 50,000 from the car of one of the accused, who had taken the laptop bag belonging to Raj. According to police, the bag was burnt and the laptop was not found. As per reports, police are investigating the role of Lokendra Tomar, an infrastructure company owner from Indore, and a property dealer named Silome James. Sonam had allegedly stayed at Tomar's Indore flat with Raj and the contract killers before being arrested in Uttar Pradesh. The bag containing the pistol and ammunition was suspected to have been removed in an attempt to destroy evidence. Indore police sources told the Times of India that after interrogation of two accused, Lokendra and Shilom, the latter confessed that he had taken a laptop bag from Raj, took the money and thrown it into a nullah in the Old Palasia area. Acting on the information, a team of Shillong police and crime branch officials reached the spot and searched the area for several minutes before a white packet containing the pistol was found. It was not clear how the accused knew where the bag had landed after he tossed it away. Meanwhile, the police recovered chats of Lokendra and Shilom about the items in the flat and their disposal, with TOI quoting sources as saying that Lokendra claimed he was not directly involved in the crime. Three accused – Shilom, Lokendra and Balvinder Ahirwar, were flown to Shillong on Wednesday and will be produced before the court on Thursday, after which they will be taken into remand. Meanwhile, the Meghalaya Police has said that Sonam Raghuvanshi and her lover Raj Kushwaha have admitted to their romantic relationship and to conspiring to kill Raja. The arrested accused are likely to be produced in court on Thursday. First Published: June 26, 2025, 14:10 IST

Jaipur dialysis patient's 'luxe cars' drive hospital staff to Rs 10 crore extortion bid
JAIPUR: City police arrested four men Tuesday for allegedly demanding Rs 10 crore from a Jaipur-based steel trader by posing as members of the Rohit Godara gang. DCP (south) Digant Anand said the trader was threatened with dire consequences if the money was not paid, and that three of the four arrested men had links to a private hospital. The trader's mother regularly visited the private hospital for dialysis. "The accused noticed that the complainant's mother used to come for treatment in different luxury cars, which drew their attention," Anand said. The DCP identified the accused as Jaiprakash Kumawat (24), a former dialysis technician at the private hospital; Lokendra Singh alias (27), a current employee at the hospital; Mahesh Kumawat (25), cousin of Jaiprakash; and Lakhan Kasana alias Harry (21), a resident of Mansarovar. DCP Anand said the conspiracy was orchestrated by Jaiprakash, a former dialysis department staffer who had developed a gambling addiction and was under pressure to repay large debts. Jaiprakash conspired with Lokendra, Lakhan, and his cousin Mahesh, all of whom had knowledge of the trader's schedule and assets. Lokendra befriended the family's driver, Sunil, and used the friendship to gather details about the trader's business, movements, and family members. Posing as gang members, the accused made threatening calls on May 27 and 28, demanding the money and warning of harm if it was not paid. Investigations revealed the phone number used for the threat belonged to a labourer from Alwar, whose Aadhaar details were fraudulently used to procure the SIM. Police seized the mobile handset, a motorcycle, and a Thar vehicle used in the crime. Police said Jaiprakash borrowed Rs 5 lakh from Lokendra and also owed money to other creditors. Lokendra, who lost his eyesight due to an untreated infection, gave Jaiprakash funds meant for his own eye treatment. Under mounting pressure, the group decided to extort money by exploiting the family's hospital visits and perceived wealth. The arrests were made after tracing the suspects through technical surveillance and local intelligence. "The accused were assured that the businessman would eventually give in and pay the money," said an officer.
