Delhi Police Ban Drones, Aerial Devices For 2 Weeks Ahead Of Independence Day Celebrations
Flying a drone or any aerial device from August 2-16 could lead to a jail sentence of up to one year and a fine of Rs 5,000, according to an order from the Police Commissioner. The Delhi Police has banned the use of drones or other aerial devices in the national capital between August 2 and 16 in view of the preparations for Independence Day celebrations, as per an order by Police Commissioner SBK Singh. According to the order, flying a drone or any unmanned aerial vehicle during this period could attract a jail sentence of up to one year and a fine of Rs 5,000. The move came days after Singh officially took charge as the police commissioner at the Delhi Police headquarters on Ashoka Road. Apart from drones, other devices like paragliders, para-motors, hang-gliders, UAVs, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), microlight aircraft, hot air balloons, small-sized powered aircraft, quadcopters, and remotely piloted aircraft have also been banned under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. Singh's first priority after assuming charge as commissioner was to convene a security review meeting on Friday to assess the preparations for Independence Day on August 15, according to The Indian Express. The nearly two-hour meeting included district deputy commissioners, range joint commissioners, and special commissioners. The meeting emphasised on surveillance measures to be intensified in sensitive areas, increased patrolling and vigilance ahead of the Independence Day celebrations in Delhi, according to an officer, along with security drills and deployment of bomb disposal squads and sniffer dog teams. 'It has been reported that certain criminal, anti-social elements or terrorists inimical to India may pose a threat to the safety of the general public, dignitaries and vital installations by the use of sub- conventional aerial platforms over the jurisdiction of the NCT of Delhi on the occasion of Independence Day Celebrations- 2025 in the National Capital of Delhi and doing so shall be punishable under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023," the order stated. This year's celebration will mark the 12th consecutive time that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation from the Red Fort on Independence Day, making him the third Prime Minister after Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi to achieve this milestone. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Pune alleged rape case: Police serve notice to suspect as survivor admits knowing him for a year
A day after releasing the suspect following his detention in the Kondhwa alleged rape case, the Pune police on Saturday issued him a notice under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, Section 41A (notice of appearance before police officer), asking him to cooperate with the investigation and remain available for questioning when summoned. The duo was questioned for over an hour, during which the woman admitted that she had known the suspect for over a year. Their parents were also called to the police station during this exercise, said police. (REPRESENTATIVE PHOTO) 'We also conducted a face-to-face interrogation between the 25-year-old suspect, an IT professional, and the complainant, a techie working with an IT firm. The duo was questioned for over an hour, during which the woman admitted that she had known the suspect for over a year. Their parents were also called to the police station during this exercise,' said Pune police commissioner Amitesh Kumar, who is monitoring the case. 'According to the woman, although she had invited the man to her house, she was uncomfortable over how things progressed and decided to approach the police. The rape angle is still being probed,' Kumar said, adding that the survivor's medical report is inconclusive on her accusations. Kumar said the complainant is undergoing counselling sessions facilitated by police-appointed professionals. He said that the motive behind the woman's actions is still unclear and part of the ongoing investigation. 'The suspect was not a delivery executive but has known the woman for a year and was invited to the flat by the latter. The selfie was clicked with mutual consent, and the message on her mobile that raised alarm was edited and posted by the woman after he left. The suspect would often visit the complainant's flat and even order food for her through online platforms,' the senior police officer said. Meanwhile, speaking to the media on the alleged rape case after attending a Guru Purnima event in the city on Saturday, deputy chief minister and Pune guardian minister Ajit Pawar said, 'People should not jump to conclusions before facts are established. Based on a report I received late last night, both the complainant and suspect are familiar with each other. I have asked the police chief to hold a press briefing to share details about the case.'

Farmer dies after being electrocuted from illegal electric snare in Alappuzha
A 65-year-old farmer reportedly died after coming into contact with an electric snare set to trap wild boars at Chavady in Thamarakulam grama panchayat in Alappuzha on Monday. The deceased has been identified as Sivankutty K. Pillai. The incident occurred around 9 a.m. The trap, according to officials, was set up illegally by his neighbour Johnson Cheruvilayil.

Sale of scheduled drugs through online portal, IndiaMART, curbed: T.N. police
The illegal sale of scheduled drugs through a leading online portal has been curbed after stringent action was taken, the Tamil Nadu police said. Last April, as part of the drive against narcotics and other banned substances, Kancheepuram police had issued notices to IndiaMART InterMESH Limited, an online portal, and its directors for having facilitated many youth across the State to buy scheduled drugs illegally. This follows the arrest of at least 10 youth who procured the scheduled drugs through the portal and the seizure of more than 10,000 tablets in Sriperumbudur and Oragadam in Kancheepuram district. They had procured the drugs without prescription from medical shops in other States, and sold them in Tamil Nadu. The police said IndiaMART was being used by thousands of youths across the country to procure scheduled drugs, which are otherwisenot allowed to be sold without proper medical advice. Notices were issued under Section 35 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita to the directors to appear before the Kancheepuram police. Asra Garg, Inspector-General of Police, North, said, 'When their senior representative met us recently, we told them categorically that their portal was being used by gullible youth in Tamil Nadu and other States for the procurement of scheduled drugs, and that something must be done in public interest.' K. Shanmugam, Superintendent of Police, Kancheepuram District, said the pharmaceutical shops from other States, which were hosted on IndiaMART platform, contacted youth from Tamil Nadu, who searched for the drugs, through WhatsApp/Instagram. They then sold them at prices several times the MRP. They delivered the supplies through courier companies by providing fake addresses to hide the recipients' identities. Shreya Gupta, Superintendent of Police, Tirupattur District, who was a part of this investigation, said: 'IndiaMART was being misused by some greedy pharma shops in other States, who used it against the youth in Tamil Nadu. A couple of months ago, a youth in north Chennai died after injecting a drug purchased through the platform. Mr. Garg said, 'IndiaMART understood the issue and sent us an official email, confirming that they have completely banned around 100 such drugs from their platform. No illegal sale of drugs through their portal has been reported in the recent days, which is a welcome step and a milestone in our fight against drugs/narcotics.'
