Balaghat (Madhya Pradesh): A deeply emotional scene unfolded in Balaghat district when former Naxalite Sunita, who surrendered earlier this month, met her parents after nearly three years. Once forced into the Naxal movement under threat, Sunita — who spent 12 long years in the rebel ranks — broke down in tears as she embraced her mother and father, marking the beginning of a new life away from violence. Forced Into the Naxal Fold According to police, Sunita was abducted and forced to join the Naxal organization over a decade ago. Her parents revealed, through Sarpanch Channulal Puryam, that Naxals had threatened to abduct their other daughters if Sunita did not join the group. Terrified, the family had no choice but to remain silent. After years of fear and struggle, Sunita final...

Indore: In a shocking incident that has shaken devotees, a man was caught on CCTV breaking into a temple’s donation box and stealing cash moments after offering prayers. The incident took place at the Shiv Temple near Sayaji Chowk in Indore on Monday night. The thief’s audacious act — praying before committing the theft — has left locals stunned. Caught on Camera: From Prayers to Theft According to police, the accused first entered the temple calmly, folded his hands before the deity, and walked out. A few minutes later, he returned and went straight to the donation box (daan-peti). He then broke its lock, took out the cash inside, and walked away as if nothing had happened. The next morning, temple priest Ganesh Kaldat noticed the broken lock while opening the temple. When he che...

New Delhi: The library built exclusively for girls at Shaheed Bhagat Singh Park in Karala village, Delhi, has remained closed for several months. Once a quiet and safe study space for local students, it is now deserted — allegedly due to the presence of antisocial elements occupying the upper floors of the building. Concerned residents are now demanding the deployment of a security guard and police assistance to restore safety and reopen the facility. Library Locked, Students Missing According to residents, the library was established with the support of the Delhi government and an NGO. Initially, it was well-equipped with books, study tables, and a peaceful environment — attracting many young girls from nearby areas. However, over the past few months, certain individuals began using...

New Delhi: Cyber fraudsters have found a new way to trick people — by disguising dangerous APK files as wedding invitations, traffic challans, banking app updates, and even government scheme notifications. Once opened, these files act like “Aladdin’s lamp” for scammers — giving them complete access to victims’ phones, data, and bank accounts. Earlier, scammers used to send APK links under the pretext of updating gas, water, or electricity bills. Now, the same malicious technique has evolved, using more personal and convincing excuses — such as marriage invitations, missing person photos, KYC or YONO app updates, insurance renewals, or messages about debit and credit alerts. How the Trap Works The moment a victim clicks and installs such an APK file, a hidden malware gets activated...

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has strongly criticized the irresponsible conduct of advocates appearing in virtual hearings while traveling or engaging in other unrelated activities. Despite repeated reminders, such practices continue unabated, the court observed. A division bench of Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, in an order dated November 3, remarked that several members of the Bar still appear before the court via video conferencing from inappropriate settings, including moving vehicles. The bench noted that this not only disrupts court proceedings but also results in a waste of valuable judicial time. “The court does not appreciate such conduct,” the bench stated, emphasizing that such behavior undermines the very objective of ensuring acce...

In a significant ruling underscoring the growing menace of cybercrime, the Delhi High Court has refused to grant bail to two accused in an alleged online investment scam, observing that courts cannot ignore the alarming rise in financial and cyber frauds across the country. Justice Ajay Digpaul, while rejecting the bail pleas of Paramjit Kharb and Ram Kumar Raman, said such crimes are “not confined by geographical boundaries” and can be executed remotely from any part of India, often leaving victims scattered across multiple jurisdictions. The Case: Online Investment Scam via WhatsApp and Telegram The accused were arrested in a case registered by the Special Cell’s IFSO (Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations) Unit of Delhi Police in 2024 under charges of cheating, criminal ...

As Bihar heads toward another high-stakes assembly election, job creation once again dominates campaign promises — yet this time, the state’s youth are strikingly silent and skeptical. Unlike the charged-up 2020 polls, when unemployment became the rallying cry for young voters, the mood in 2025 is defined by mistrust, frustration, and fatigue. 2020 vs 2025: From Hope to Hesitation In 2020, RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav electrified young voters with his pledge of 10 lakh government jobs, forcing the NDA to counter with a 20 lakh employment promise. But five years later, with paper leaks, canceled exams, and delayed recruitments, that enthusiasm has given way to cynicism. Now, even as Tejashwi promises “one government job per family” and the NDA vows “two crore new jobs” through investment a...
