Driven by penury & drugs, siblings take to crime path
Lucknow: With no steady income, rising expenses, and addiction gnawing away at their dignity, Arjun Rawat and his elder sister Mohini went way ward. The siblings along with their associate Uday Raj slipped into the world of petty thefts and jewellery snatching to make ends meet. They targeted the victims in Sushant Golf City, Gosainganj and Mohanlalganj. After a string of petty thefts and robberies, the trio was nabbed on Friday. Arjun, 27, initially worked as a daily-wager while Uday, 28, was a small time farmer in Gosainganj. Th duo would execute the crime while Arjun's sister Mohini, 35, sold the stolen articles to jewellers. "She was the one who moved freely, raising no suspicion. She became their safest way to turn crime into cash," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Nipun Agarwal. The duo used a motorcycle—bought on instalments but never paid off—as their getaway vehicle. With no job prospects and drug addiction clouding their judgement, crime became a way of life. Their run ended after April 27 incident in which they snatched gold jewellery from a SGPGI resident in Gosainganj. The probe led police to Rastogi Jewellers in Neelmatha, where stolen jewellery worth Rs 26,200 was recovered.

Akshay Tritiya is considered an auspicious day in Hindu culture , known for bringing good luck, prosperity , and success.

Kamya Panjabi , who plays the character of Mohini in the TV show Ishq Jabariya , shares her take on this special day. Kamya shares a powerful message on embracing new beginnings with courage and a clear heart, 'Akshay Tritiya is often considered one of the most auspicious days to begin something new—whether it's buying something special, taking a big leap, or making a life decision. While I personally don't limit new beginnings to a particular date or muhurat, I deeply respect those who find strength and positivity in such traditions. I believe that every day is a good day if your intentions are pure and your heart is ready. What's truly important is to not postpone your dreams out of fear or hesitation. Taking the first step—no matter how small—holds immense power. A fresh start doesn't need a perfect day; it needs your courage and belief in yourself.' The Ishq Jabariya actress further adds, 'I believe in taking bold steps. Whenever the heart feels like doing something new—whether it's chasing a passion, starting a new project, or buying something meaningful—we should just go for it. Life moves fast, and waiting for the 'right moment' often becomes an excuse. What matters more is the intent and the action, not the date on the calendar. So to everyone who celebrates, may this Akshay Tritiya bring courage, abundance, and fresh beginnings. And to those who don't follow the tradition—still take this moment as a gentle nudge to start something you've been holding back. After all, the best time to begin is always now.'
