The arrested accused were identified as Purushottam Prasad Sharma (57) and his wife Manju Purushottam Sharma alias Manju alias Altaf Shaikh (42), residents of Malad (West).

Both accused were arrested on Saturday under Sections 318 (4), 336 (2), 336 (3), 338, 340 (2), 61 (2), 249, 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with charges under the Passport Act, Foreigners Act, and Foreigners Order.

Nagpur: Afraid of being scolded by the parents for bunking school to visit a picnic spot around 50km from their town and returning home late, five minor girls, all classmates from a Durg school, boarded a train to Mumbai. On reaching Nagpur, they stepped out to look around and curiosity drove them to a tent set up for urs devotees on platform No. 8 of the Nagpur railway station, only to be rescued by the RPF. The incident occurred on July 22 during a routine patrol under 'Operation Nanhey Farishtey'. RPF staff noticed the girls in suspicious condition near the tent and alerted woman head constable Manju Sharma, who immediately reached the spot. As the girls struggled to explain their presence at the platform without any elder accompanying them, they were taken to the RPF post for further inquiry. When the girls were counselled in the presence of a Childline representative and sub-inspector Jhuma Ingle, they narrated the entire story. The girls visited Mahadev ghat, a popular picnic spot near Raipur, without informing anyone from family or school. When they failed to reach home by the usual time, they started worrying about the possible reprimand and decided to leave for Mumbai and boarded a train. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo To ensure their safety, the RPF completed necessary documentation and escorted the girls to Mayo Hospital for medical check-up.

New sports academy launched in city amid poor infrastructure
1 2 Jaipur: As Jaipur Municipal Corporation–Greater rolls out fresh initiatives to boost sports infrastructure, concerns are mounting over the maintenance of recently launched projects. A case in point is the Triveni Pulia sports complex, which was shut down within a month of its inauguration due to poor upkeep—despite an investment of Rs 12.5 lakh. On Friday, the foundation stone was laid for a new sports academy near Ravindra Manch in Ward No. 150. The event was attended by Jaipur MP Manju Sharma and Malviya Nagar MLA Kalicharan Saraf. Developed under the 'Swasth Jaipur' initiative, the academy will offer facilities for five sports, including two badminton and two tennis courts, a basketball court, three cricket practice pitches, and two volleyball courts. Ahead of the ceremony, mayor Somya Gurjar chaired a review meeting on development works across wards. Projects worth Rs 50 lakh each were assessed, along with discussions on upcoming initiatives like a new sports academy in Ramniwas Bagh and a double-basement parking facility at the municipal headquarters. However, the early closure of the Triveni Pulia facility has raised questions about construction quality and project monitoring. Inaugurated on 26 April by Gurjar and Saraf, the complex developed issues within days, with the badminton court's surface starting to peel. A notice now stated the facility is shut for two days for repairs by the contractor. The incident underscores the gap between announcements and execution. As new blueprints continue to be announced, the quick deterioration of recent infrastructure highlights the urgent need for accountability and quality control in civic development projects.
