HC quashes FIR against woman added late in murder case
Bhopal/Jabalpur: The MP high court has quashed an FIR against a woman who was named as an accused in a murder case three months after the incident, on the basis of supplementary statements from two her criminal review petition, Shikha Dwivedi from Rewa stated that the complainant in an FIR lodged at Semaria police station on June 28, 2023, said he took goats for grazing with Ram Prakash Kol and Raj Bahor Kol when two persons came on a bike and attacked Ram Prakash with lathis. Ram Prakash sustained serious injuries in the attack. The two witnesses of the crime on July 1 in their statement to police said that Vipul alias Ashish Mishra had come with 10 persons on four bikes and attacked Ram Prakash. Ram Prakash later died during treatment. Police had named seven persons as accused in the case. Meanwhile, the statement of the two eyewitnesses was recorded again on July 20, 2023, in which they stuck to what they had said in their earlier statement. However, in their statement to police on September 28, 2023, they said that there was a woman also among the assailants who attacked Ram Prakash. However, they only recognised Vipul alias Ashish Mishra among them. The petitioner was included among the accused persons in the case on the basis of their supplementary statement recorded by the police on September 28, 2023. The petitioner argued that the two eyewitnesses didn't refer to any woman among the accused who attacked Ram Prakash in their two earlier statements. Besides, police didn't do any identification parade to let the eyewitnesses pinpoint the woman who was among the assailants who attacked Ram Prakash and she was included among the accused and the trial court framed charges against her as well. The bench of Justice DK Paliwal after hearing all the sides quashed the FIR against the petitioner for lack of sufficient evidence while allowing the trial to continue against rest of the accused. Advocate Prakash Updhayay appeared in the case for the petitioner. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Mother's Day wishes , messages , and quotes !

‘I Didn't Told Anyone': IAS Officer's Success Post After UPSC Result Faces Criticism Due To Grammatical Error
Last Updated: Ram Prakash, who commemorated the anniversary of his achievement on April 27, 2018, recounted his feelings from that pivotal moment. As the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) recently announced this year's NDA 1 exam results on April 28, an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer took to social media to reminisce about his journey to cracking the prestigious examination seven years ago. Ram Prakash, who commemorated the anniversary of his achievement on April 27, 2018, recounted his feelings from that pivotal moment and also mentioned his wife, who had also cleared the coveted exam. His heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter) unexpectedly went viral, not for his inspiring words, but due to grammatical errors. Yes, you read that right. The eagle-eyed social media users were quick to spot the inaccuracies in the IAS officer's post. While the content intended to share a personal milestone and connect with aspirants, the grammatical mistakes invited both criticism and defence from social media users. Prakash's tweet read, 'I made it to IAS at around 8:00 pm on 27th April 2018. Exactly 7 years back. I didn't told anyone in my family about the result for an hour at least. That was some feeling." The sentence 'I didn't told anyone" immediately caught the attention of eagle-eyed social media users, who were quick to point out the incorrect verb conjugation. One user corrected him, saying, 'I didn't tell," to which Ram Prakash replied, 'OK, my mistake." However, the matter didn't end there. Another user shared a screenshot of Prakash's post on X with the caption, 'I know that English isn't our primary language, but if this is the level of IAS officers of our country, then I've zero hopes." A user strongly backed him and countered the criticism, writing, 'He is an IAS officer, not an English teacher? Even the Prime Minister of our country isn't good in English. Every native of countries not colonised by the British isn't. Why make fun of it like brown coolies?" 'Since when has English started governing the capability of a person? Also, a candidate can appear for UPSC in Hindi medium as well. I know Ram, he is a great officer and a stellar runner, try competing with him in a marathon and he will beat you hands down. Dont be unfair in criticism," another said. The incident also triggered a wider conversation on the role and importance of English language proficiency within India's education. One user noted, 'It's ok as long as we can understand. Many IAS officers studied their mother tongue throughout even the exam itself." 'I've met terrible people who speak impeccable English. Let's not use that as a yardstick for a great administrator – or a great human being, for that matter. Yes, when you're in this position, making silly grammatical errors on a public platform doesn't reflect well on you. But does that warrant such harsh criticism? If I had the superpower to choose a collector for my district, fluency in English would be the last thing I'd consider," an account remarked. Adding to the discussion, a user commented, 'More than grammar, I am not able to understand- 'missed by 0 marks' what does this even mean." What are your views on this? First Published:
