Contract killing: Five arrested for plotting woman's murder near Mhow Naka
Indore: Five people involved in a knife attack on a woman near Mhow Naka on Monday were arrested. The attack, which occurred around 8:30 pm when the woman exited a gym on Footi Kothi Road, was allegedly orchestrated for seeking revenge over an old dispute. The woman was stabbed in the chest by an assailant who then fled the scene on a motorcycle with an accomplice. Annapurna police registered a case under Section 109 of the BNS and launched a investigation. DCP Rishikesh Meena said that within 72 hours, police teams reviewed footage from over 150 cameras across the city, leading to the identification and arrest of the accused. The arrested individuals include Aman Goswami (18), Arjun alias Durlabh Rajput (18), Sahil Singh Chauhan (23), Manish Wadhwani (52), and Vikram Sahu (32). According to police, Aman and Arjun, who met in a juvenile correction facility, were the ones who carried out the actual attack. Aman confessed that Arjun offered him Rs 10,000 to stab the woman. Arjun provided him with her vehicle number and photo. On the day of the attack, Arjun drove Aman to the gym on a motorcycle and stayed across the street while Aman waited outside the gym. As the woman exited the gym, Aman distracted her by asking for directions to the nearby temple and then stabbed her in the chest with intent to kill. He then fled by jumping over the divider and escaping with Arjun on the bike. Further interrogation revealed that Arjun was hired by Sahil Singh Chauhan, who was promised Rs 20,000 to kill the woman. Sahil, in turn, was allegedly offered Rs 3 lakh by Manish Wadhwani, a resident of Omaxe City-1. The motive stemmed from a long-standing personal conflict between Wadhwani and the victim, who worked as a manager at Omaxe City for several years. The two had a public altercation in the past year, and Wadhwani allegedly sought revenge by plotting the attack. Wadhwani reportedly provided Sahil with the office location of the victim and even drove him there to plan the assault. Sahil and Arjun then followed the woman multiple times and eventually discovered her gym routine. The group meticulously planned and executed the attack while concealing their identities.

Jagan raps Andhra police over ‘custodial torture' of YSRCP leader's son
'Is it acceptable if police who are meant to protect people unleash violence against them. It signals the breakdown of democratic order. This is an undeclared emergency unfolding in Andhra Pradesh,' Reddy said in a post on X. Reddy on Friday claimed that Harikrishna, son of party leader Yellaiah, was subjected to torture by the Dachepalli police in Tangada village. Vijayawada, May 24 (PTI) YSRCP chief Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy has alleged that an 'undeclared emergency' is unfolding in Andhra Pradesh, citing the alleged custodial toruture of a party leader's son by the state police in Palnadu district. In a purported video shared by the former CM on X, Harikrishna's wife, children, parents, and relatives were seen staging a protest against his arrest, raising serious allegations against the police. In the video, Harikrishna's wife was heard complaining that the police picked her husband up in the morning saying that they would send him back in a few hours but they failed to do so even around mid-day. Staging a sit-in protest in front of the Dachapalli police station along with her family members and three minor children, she demanded justice and threatened that they would consume pesticides if her husband was not released or they were given an opportunity to meet him. The video showed a middle-aged man in an orange shirt, purported to be Harikrishna, sitting battered on the floor and was later seen limping as a policeman helped him walk. The video further shows locals raising anti-police slogans near the police station. Meanwhile, a local police official told PTI that Harikrishna had allegedly stabbed a man in an inebriated condition over a previous dispute and was booked under Section 109 of the BNS Act. 'Harikrishna was remanded as per legal procedure. Spreading false claims or political propaganda is unlawful and irresponsible,' said the official.
