Rajasthan Police arrest man from UP's Faizabad in Rs 3.81 crore online trading fraud
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 12 (IANS) Acting on the directives of Rajasthan Director General of Police (DGP) Rajiv Kumar Sharma to prevent cybercrimes and take effective action against cybercriminals, the Rajasthan Police Cyber Crime Branch has arrested a man from Faizabad (Ayodhya), Uttar Pradesh, in connection with a multi-crore online trading fraud. The arrest was made by the Central Cyber Crime Police Station, Jaipur. The accused has been identified as Alok, a resident of Faizabad (Ayodhya), Uttar Pradesh. DGP (Cyber Crime) VK Singh said that, according to a complaint filed on October 5, 2025, the complainant had been searching on Google for information related to online trading and investment. During the search, the complainant came across an online trading platform called 'CMC Forex' / 'CMC Global CS'. The accused allegedly contacted the complainant through Telegram while posing as representatives of the company's India-based customer care or management team. They lured the complainant with promises of high returns from online trading and induced him to transfer a total of Rs 3,81,37,677 into various bank accounts. During the investigation, police found that the cyber fraudsters had created a website and fake online trading platform resembling 'CMC', a reputed foreign trading company. The accused allegedly claimed to be associated with the company's India-based customer care and management teams. They continuously provided trading-related instructions to the complainant through Telegram and encouraged him to invest in different companies. Initially, to gain the complainant's confidence, a portion of the money invested in small amounts was returned. This convinced the complainant that the platform was genuine and prompted him to invest larger sums. The accused allegedly directed the complainant to deposit money into multiple bank accounts. At the same time, the fake trading account showed steadily increasing profits against the investments. As a result, the complainant was led to believe that profits worth crores of rupees had accumulated in the account. When the complainant attempted to withdraw the money, the cyber fraudsters allegedly demanded additional payments on various pretexts, including income tax, currency exchange fees, security deposits and margin guarantees. Even after each payment, new conditions and charges were allegedly imposed, with the complainant repeatedly pressured to make further deposits. Despite the payments, the crores of rupees displayed in the fake trading account were never actually made available for withdrawal. During the investigation, police examined bank records and followed the money trail. A beneficiary bank account linked to 'Shiv Bakers and Fast Food' was identified. Police found that Rs 20 lakh of the money allegedly obtained through the fraud had been deposited into this account. Investigators are now tracing the subsequent movement of the money and working to identify other individuals associated with the cyber fraud network. Based on bank records and technical analysis, police identified Alok, a resident of Faizabad (Ayodhya), Uttar Pradesh. The investigation allegedly established his involvement in connection with the beneficiary bank account used to receive proceeds of the cyber fraud. According to police, the bank account and financial channels provided by the accused were used to receive the defrauded money and facilitate further transactions. Alok has been arrested, and further investigation is underway. Police are conducting detailed technical analysis of CDRs, CAFs and IPDRs, along with the money trail from the banking transactions. Investigators are collecting information about the accounts into which the defrauded funds were deposited, the subsequent movement of the money and the identities of other individuals linked to the network. The operation was conducted by a team constituted under the direction of Shantanu Kumar Singh, Deputy Inspector General of Police (Cyber Crime). The team was led by Gajendra Sharma, Station House Officer (SHO) and Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) at the Central Cyber Crime Police Station, Jaipur, Rajasthan. The team included Police Inspector Radheshyam, Constables Manoj Samota and Krishna Yadav, and Constable-Driver Sube Singh.

Jaipur civic polls: 'UCC rollback' slogans raised before Raj Dy CM Diya Kumari
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 11 (IANS) During the second phase of local elections in Rajasthan, the situation became politically charged when some people raised slogans demanding the rollback of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in front of Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari outside a polling station in Jaipur. As voting for the Jaipur Municipal Corporation elections continued on Friday, Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari visited several polling stations in Jaipur during the voting process. Her visit to a polling booth in the Vidyadhar Nagar Assembly constituency however drew objections from Congress workers, who accused her of attempting to influence voters. Congress workers alleged that Diya Kumari's visit to polling booths while voting was underway was inappropriate and could amount to an attempt to influence the electoral process. They questioned whether a senior political leader should visit polling stations on polling day. Security personnel present at the spot intervened to prevent the situation from escalating. Complaints were also raised by several voters who arrived at polling stations only to find that their names were missing from the electoral rolls. Some residents alleged that the names of a large number of voters had been omitted from the lists and blamed negligence on the part of Booth Level Officers (BLOs). The affected voters expressed their frustration and questioned how they could exercise their franchise if their names were not included in the voter list. The issue was raised in the presence of the Deputy Chief Minister, with residents seeking answers from the administration. The situation became more politically charged when some people outside the polling station raised slogans demanding the rollback of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC). The slogans were raised in front of Diya Kumari as political activity continued around the polling station. The incident added another dimension to the tensions surrounding the voting process in Jaipur. The Congress' objections over the Deputy Chief Minister's visit, complaints regarding missing names from the electoral rolls and the slogans demanding UCC rollback contributed to a politically charged atmosphere at the polling station. Voting for the Jaipur Municipal Corporation elections however continued across the city, with voters exercising their franchise in the ongoing urban local body polls.

Rajasthan civic polls: Polling staffer touches Ashok Gehlots feet; BJP files complaint
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 11 (IANS) A controversy erupted during the second phase of Rajasthans civic elections on Friday after a member of the polling staff allegedly touched the feet of former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot at a voting booth in Jodhpur. Gehlot had arrived at Vardhaman Jain School in Mahamandir to cast his vote in Ward No. 82 when the incident reportedly took place. A video of the incident later surfaced, prompting a political dispute over the conduct of the polling staff. The BJP has objected to the incident and raised questions over the impartiality of the polling staff. Saurabh Saraswat, state convenor of the BJP Rajasthan legal cell, submitted a complaint to the District Election Officer in Jodhpur and the State Election Commission, seeking action against the polling staffer concerned. The BJP argued that election officials and polling personnel are expected to maintain political neutrality while performing election duties. According to the party, such conduct towards a prominent political leader could raise questions about the fairness and impartiality of the electoral process. The BJP said that the incident could create doubts among voters regarding the neutrality of the polling process. The party has demanded that authorities examine the matter and take appropriate action if any election rules have been violated. Election personnel are required to perform their duties impartially and without displaying political preference. The conduct of polling staff is therefore particularly important during the voting process, officials said. The incident triggered a debate over whether the polling staffer's conduct amounts to a violation of election rules. The election code is intended to ensure a free, fair and peaceful electoral process. Political parties and candidates are prohibited from using improper means to influence voters, while government and election machinery is expected to remain neutral, the BJP said. However, whether the polling employee's act of touching Gehlot's feet constitutes an actual violation of the applicable election rules will have to be determined by the competent election authorities after examining the incident and the circumstances in which it occurred. The controversy comes as Rajasthan's civic elections enter the crucial voting phase, with political parties closely monitoring polling-related incidents across the state.

Value of every vote is high: Leaders urge strong turnout in Rajasthan civic polls
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 11 (IANS) With polling underway across 147 urban local bodies in Rajasthan on Friday in the second phase of elections and more than 87 lakh voters eligible to exercise their franchise, political leaders are calling for greater voter participation. Polling began at 7 a.m. and will continue until 6 p.m. across six municipal corporations, 24 municipal councils and 117 municipalities. The elections are being closely watched as voters choose representatives for local bodies, with issues such as cleanliness, electricity, civic infrastructure and ward-level development emerging as key concerns among residents. Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, after casting his vote, said voting was not merely a constitutional right but also a responsibility essential for a healthy democratic process. Voting is not just a right; it is also a duty. For the maturity of democracy, having a healthy and free voting process is absolutely essential, Shekhawat said. He said he came to vote along with his family and expressed confidence after observing the initial response from voters. Shekhawat also highlighted the role of young voters, saying Indias large youth population makes their participation particularly important in the democratic process. India is a country of youth. Being a nation of youth, the role of young people in this grand festival of democracy is extremely important, he said. The Union Minister said the participation of young people in elections has increased over the years and that they are getting increasingly aware of the importance of choosing candidates who can contribute to the development of their city, state and country. State Minister Rajyavardhan Rathore also stressed the importance of voter awareness and turnout. He said a voter gets the opportunity to decide the direction of governance only once every five years in local body elections and urged citizens to exercise their franchise. It is a very good thing if the voting percentage is high and voters have become aware. The value of a vote is very high, Rathore said. Education Minister Madan Dilawar said enthusiasm among voters was encouraging, pointing to long queues at polling stations. He said voter awareness was crucial to strengthening democracy and noted that people were participating in the elections with enthusiasm. There is an atmosphere of excitement, joy and passion, Dilawar said, referring to the voter turnout. BJP MLA Anita Bhadel, after casting her vote, said she thanked the polling personnel for ensuring voting began on time at 7 a.m. She appealed to voters to keep aside other engagements and prioritise voting. Rajasthan Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devnani also cast his vote at a polling station in Ward No. 4 in Ajmer. He linked the elections to the broader debate over conducting elections simultaneously. Devnani backed the concept of One State, One Election, saying simultaneous elections could reduce the repeated imposition of the Model Code of Conduct, which he said sometimes affected the pace of development work. He also urged residents to participate in the urban festival of democracy and cast their votes. Meanwhile, former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot criticised the BJP-led state government over its performance. Speaking in Jodhpur, Gehlot alleged that the government machinery was not functioning properly and claimed that development work had suffered over the past two-and-a-half years. Gehlot said the situation was serious and called upon people to play an active role in addressing issues affecting the state. While political leaders traded views over governance and the significance of the polls, voters focused largely on immediate civic concerns affecting their neighbourhoods. One voter said residents wanted whoever was elected to pay attention to the development of their colony and ward, particularly cleanliness and other basic amenities. The voter said elected representatives should remain accessible throughout their term rather than returning to seek votes only after five years. Another voter, casting a vote in a municipal council election for the first time, said she was excited to participate and wanted a candidate with a clean image who could address issues related to cleanliness, electricity and overall development of the ward. Bharatpur District Election Officer Kamar Chaudhary also appealed to voters to turn out in large numbers. She said past experience showed that people often participated enthusiastically in municipal and panchayat elections because candidates personally reached out to voters. Chaudhary said citizens frequently complain about civic issues but must also fulfil their own responsibility by voting and choosing their representatives.

Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 10 (IANS) As part of 'Shuddh Aahar Milawat Par Vaar' (Pure Food War on Adulteration) campaign being conducted across Rajasthan on Thursday by the Food Safety and Drug Control Department, a central team of the department conducted a surprise inspection at a Zepto dark store in Jaipur's Jagatpura. During the inspection, officials found several lapses related to the storage temperature, hygiene and condition of food products. Around 1,550 packets of dairy products, 100 kg of damaged food items and 7 kg of expired food products were destroyed on the spot. Acting on the instructions of Principal Secretary (Medical and Health) Gayatri Rathore and under the guidance of Commissioner (Food Safety and Drug Control) Avichal Chaturvedi, a central team from the Jaipur headquarters inspected the warehouse of M/s J.D.S. Marketing, located in A-Block at Ramnagaria Vistar in Jagatpura. The inspection was conducted in the presence of Joint Commissioner Vijay Prakash Sharma. During the inspection, the team found that the prescribed temperature conditions required for the safe storage of dairy products in the cold room and deep freezer were not being maintained. The temperature recorded at the facility ranged between 6 and 14C. In view of the storage conditions, around 1,550 packets of milk, curd and buttermilk, including products of brands such as Saras and Amul, were destroyed on-site. The inspection team also found around 100 kg of damaged food products stored in the warehouse without the mandatory 'Not for Sale' markings. These products were destroyed at the site. In addition, around 7 kg of expired food products, including muesli, candy and bhujia, were found among products intended for sale. The expired products were seized and destroyed on-site by the department. The inspection also revealed serious sanitation-related shortcomings at the facility. Traces of spit containing paan masala and zarda were found around the dark store and cold room, while dirt and spit marks were observed on the walls. Several iron racks used for storing food products were also found to be broken, dirty and rusted. The officials directed the store management to take immediate corrective measures and ensure proper food storage, temperature control and sanitation. To assess the quality and safety of food products, the central team collected samples of Pintola peanut butter and honey in the presence of store manager Kailash Chand Meena. The samples have been sent to the State Central Food Laboratory for analysis. If the laboratory reports indicate adulteration or establish that the products do not conform to the prescribed standards, legal action will be taken against the concerned firm under the provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act. Joint Commissioner Vijay Prakash Sharma issued a notice to the dark store operator and directed immediate improvements in food storage, temperature control and sanitation systems. According to officials, around 500 orders are delivered daily from the facility. The Food Safety and Drug Control Department has reiterated that compliance with food safety and hygiene standards is mandatory for all stores and warehouses involved in the online supply and delivery of food products. The department said strict action will be taken against establishments found violating prescribed food safety standards and that enforcement drives will continue across Rajasthan under the 'Shuddh Aahar Milawat Par Vaar' campaign.
Raj civic polls: Notice issued to Cong leader over his remarks on transgender candidate
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 10 (IANS) Political tensions have intensified in Lalsot in Rajasthan's Dausa district, after former state Minister and Congress leader Parsadi Lal Meena allegedly made controversial remarks about a transgender candidate during the ongoing municipal council election campaign. Taking cognisance of a statement circulating on social media, Returning Officer Vijendra Kumar Meena has issued a notice to Meena for allegedly violating the Model Code of Conduct. The former minister has been directed to appear in person and submit an explanation. The notice states that failure to respond within the stipulated time could lead to unilateral action. Election Officer Vijendra Kumar Meena said the notice has been served and that the response will be examined before further action is taken as per the rules. During a public meeting held in support of the Congress candidate for Ward 1, Parsadi Lal Meena reportedly referred to Meenu Kinnar, the BJP candidate from Ward 34, and said that if she won the election, it would be a blot on Lalsot and that the ward would become known as a Kinnar ward. Appealing to voters not to elect Meenu, he reportedly said that the role of members of the transgender community was to serve people and offer blessings rather than contest elections. He also appealed to Meenu Kinnar to withdraw from the electoral contest. Ward 34 has emerged as a key point of discussion in the Lalsot municipal elections after the BJP fielded Meenu Kinnar as its candidate. Her entry into the electoral race has turned the ward into one of the closely watched contests in the town. Reacting to the remarks, Meenu Kinnar released a video in which she asked, What is my fault in being born a Kinnar? She said that she is also a human being and that contesting elections is a right available to everyone. Appealing to Parsadi Lal Meena with folded hands, she urged him not to make such remarks. She added that the transgender community and residents of the locality are like her family. Lalsot MLA Ramvilas Meena condemned the former ministers statement. He said the BJP had fielded Meenu Bua-ji, whom he described as a respected and dedicated member of the transgender community, as its candidate for the Lalsot Municipal Council election. The MLA alleged that frustration over the election could be behind the former ministers remarks and said it was deeply shameful to use derogatory language against Meenu and the residents of the ward who had chosen to support her.

Raj civic polls: BJP expels seven more rebel leaders for six years; number goes to 48
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 10 (IANS) The BJP has expelled seven more rebel candidates who are contesting as Independents against the partys official nominees in the Rajasthan civic body elections. The leaders have been removed from the partys primary membership for six years. The latest action includes five rebels from the Ajmer Municipal Corporation and one each from the Jaitaran and Mundwa municipalities. The BJP had earlier expelled 41 leaders on September 7, taking the total number of leaders expelled so far to 48. BJP State General Secretary Shravan Singh Bagdi issued the expulsion order, stating that the leaders were contesting as Independents against the partys official candidates. The party termed the move an act of indiscipline and said the action was taken under the instructions of State President Madan Rathore. From the Ajmer Municipal Corporation, Arun Sharma (Ward 38), Neetu Mishra (Ward 41), Seema Goswami (Ward 52), Ruby Jain (Ward 74) and Dharmendra Singh Chauhan Pancham (Ward 75) have been expelled for six years. Several of those expelled have previously held party or elected positions. Seema Goswami is a former district president of the Ajmer City Mahila Morcha, while Arun Sharma is a former Mandal president. Rakesh Solanki, a former councillor contesting from Ward 17 of Jaitaran Municipality, has also been expelled from the party. The BJP has also taken action against Lakshmi Narayan Mundel, former state secretary of the Kisan Morcha, who is contesting from Ward 8 of Mundwa Municipality in Nagaur district. The BJP has maintained that contesting against an official party candidate, supporting a rebel candidate or otherwise working against the partys authorised nominees constitutes anti-organisational activity and gross indiscipline. Before the latest action, the BJP had expelled 41 office-bearers and party workers from its primary membership for six years. The action was taken against leaders who contested as Independents against official candidates, supported rebel candidates or fielded family members against party nominees. The largest number of expulsions in the earlier list came from Jaipur, where 26 leaders and party workers were removed from the party. The BJPs successive expulsion orders underline the party leaderships effort to enforce discipline during the Rajasthan civic body elections and prevent rebel candidates from affecting the prospects of its official nominees.

Piyush Goyal calls upon BRICS countries to expand opportunities for women entrepreneurs
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 9 (IANS) Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Wednesday said India would like to bring the lessons learnt from its experience in addressing the challenges faced by entrepreneurs, particularly women entrepreneurs, to the BRICS Womens Business Alliance and the larger BRICS business engagement. He called upon BRICS countries to work together to expand opportunities for women entrepreneurs and women-led enterprises in international trade, stressing the need for easier access to credit, markets and predictable rules of business. Addressing the BRICS WBA Women-Led Development Conference organised by FICCI here, the minister said that an entrepreneur seeking to enter international business has to cross three key borders: access to credit, access to buyers and markets, and access to predictable rules that encourage free trade and open opportunities. He said India has focused on empowering women financially, socially and through education, skills and improved quality of life, with the objective of making women the drivers of the countrys growth. Goyal said around 100 million rural women are today members of nine million self-help groups, small cooperatives or groups of women working together on different ideas and enterprises. The number of women earning more than Rs. 1 lakh in personal income has crossed 30 million. These women are referred to as Lakhpati Didis, he said, adding that India hopes to continue expanding both their number and their income. Goyal further said that India has provided around 560 million loans to small entrepreneurs, with more than 68 per cent of these loans going to women entrepreneurs. He said the objective is to ensure that women become economically independent and are not dependent on other family members. He added that when women stand on their own feet, they can become drivers of Indias growth engine. He noted that Indias female workforce participation had been around 19 per cent until about a decade ago and expressed confidence that as income levels rise, education improves, skills develop and talent comes forward, the number will increase to 50 per cent or more. Goyal said that in developed societies, the proportion of women in the formal workforce has crossed 50 per cent. Shri Goyal emphasised that India can achieve a significant delta in economic growth as more women enter the formal workforce. He also said that foreign trade should not be viewed only as a collateralised business, but as an opportunity to integrate societies and businesses and provide opportunities to marginalised sections that may otherwise never imagine going overseas. He said BRICS countries had also agreed in the Jaipur Consensus to explore a common BRICS platform for international trade, which could help address the second challenge faced by entrepreneurs, namely access to markets and buyers.

Freed Rajasthan from 'Love Jihad', says CM Bhajan Lal Sharma (Ld)
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 9 (IANS) Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma said on Wednesday that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led state government had worked to get rid of the problem of love jihad in the state, including Jaipur, and highlighted the state government's measures against forced religious conversions. He also noted that the state government had brought the Disturbed Area Bill to prevent what he described as forced migration and assured people that there was no need to fear. Chief Minister Sharma made the remarks while conducting a grand roadshow from Sanganeri Gate to Tripolia Gate in Jaipur in support of BJP candidates on the last day of campaigning for the Municipal Corporation elections. The Chief Minister said that incidents that he described as love jihad had taken place during the previous Ashok Gehlot-led state government and claimed that the present BJP government had brought legislation against religious conversions. Referring to the Disturbed Area Bill, Chief Minister Sharma said it had been brought to prevent forced migration in areas within the walled city and to protect residents. He added that the people should not be afraid and warned that anyone causing trouble to the common people would face legal action and could be sent to jail. The Chief Minister said the previous Ashok Gehlot-led state government had created two municipal corporations each in Jaipur, Jodhpur and Kota, which he alleged was done on the basis of appeasement. He said the present BJP government had restored the one city-one corporation system in all three cities. Taking a jibe at Congress leaders, Chief Minister Sharma said they (Congress leaders) had earlier claimed that the BJP would not be able to implement One State, One Election. He added that the ongoing local body elections showed that the state government was successfully carrying forward the electoral process. Chief Minister Sharma said that Rajasthan had been progressing continuously over the past two-and-a-half years under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He added that several projects that had remained pending for decades were now being taken forward. Highlighting water projects, the Chief Minister said the state government had taken steps to strengthen water availability across the state through the Ramjal Setu Link Project and the Yamuna Water Agreement. He noted that Rs 5,500 crore had been provided for the Indira Gandhi Canal and Ganganahar projects. He also highlighted the Rs 10,500-crore Dewas Project, Rs 4,500-crore Som-Kamla-Amba project, Rs 4,500-crore Mahi Dam Project and Rs 2,500-crore Brahmani River Project. The Chief Minister said that Rajasthan was moving towards becoming a power-surplus state. He claimed that electricity generation had increased from 3,900 MW during the previous Congress government to 12,000 MW during the first two-and-a-half years of the present BJP government. Commenting on employment, Chief Minister Sharma said that 1,89,000 appointment letters had been issued during the current BJP government's tenure, recruitment for 1,22,000 posts was underway and vacancies for another 70,000 posts had been created. He alleged that paper leaks had taken place during the previous Congress government and said more than 600 people allegedly linked to paper-leak cases had been sent to jail after the BJP government came to power in Rajasthan. He claimed that around 450 examinations had been conducted during the present BJP government's tenure without a single paper leak. The Chief Minister also accused the Congress of repeatedly misleading people over the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP) and the Yamuna water agreement. Referring to the Jaipur Metro, Chief Minister Sharma said the previous Congress government had developed around five km of Metro connectivity, while the present BJP government had taken the network beyond 41 km. He norted that further expansion would strengthen Jaipur's traffic and public transport system. The Chief Minister assured party workers and public representatives that issues raised by them would be addressed, saying the current BJP government remained connected with the people and regularly listened to their concerns. He said that with BJP-led civic bodies and panchayats forming the riple-engine government alongside the state and Central governments, local governance would be strengthened and development would accelerate. Chief Minister Sharma added that this would help realise the vision of a developed Jaipur, a developed Rajasthan and a developed India. He appealed to voters to support BJP candidates in the urban local body elections across Rajasthan. The Chief Minister began the roadshow after offering prayers at the Hanuman Ji Temple at Sanganeri Gate. Officials of the Jaipur Trade Board welcomed him during the programme. State BJP President Madan Rathore, National General Secretary Harish Dwivedi, National Minister Rohan Gupta, BJP MP Manju Sharma, District President Amit Goyal, BJP MLAs Kalicharan Saraf, Balmukund Acharya and Gopal Sharma, former State President Ashok Parnami, along with other party leaders, office-bearers and workers, participated in the roadshow.

Kota child molestation case: DNA samples, CCTV footage examined to identify suspect
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 9 (IANS) Police are examining DNA samples, forensic evidence and CCTV footage in connection with the alleged sexual abuse of a three-year-old girl in Rajasthan's Kota, as investigators work to identify the suspected accused. The child's young age has made it difficult for her to provide details of the incident, prompting police to rely on scientific and other corroborative evidence. A highly sensitive case involving the alleged sexual abuse of a three-year-old girl has come to light in Kota district. Following a complaint by the child's family, police have registered a case under the POCSO Act and other relevant sections and launched an investigation. Given the child's young age, she is reportedly unable to clearly describe what happened. Investigators are therefore relying on medical examination findings, DNA samples, CCTV footage and other forensic evidence to identify the suspected accused. The alleged incident came to light after the family took the child to a paediatrician when she fell ill. During the examination, the doctor noticed pain and swelling around the child's waist and genital area and suspected possible sexual assault. The doctor subsequently informed the family, following which they approached the police. A formal complaint was then registered and an investigation was initiated. Kota City Superintendent of Police Tejaswini Gautam said that a case has been registered under the POCSO Act and other applicable provisions. The investigation is being conducted under the supervision of Mukesh Sankhla, Additional Superintendent of Police of the Women's Harassment Investigation Cell. According to the family, the child generally stays at home and attends only a play school located near their residence. Based on this information, police have collected DNA samples from certain male staff members of the school as well as other relevant individuals. An FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) team has also examined the relevant location and collected evidence as part of the investigation. Police are examining the forensic evidence and DNA samples to determine whether they match any of the individuals under suspicion. CCTV footage from the area is also being reviewed to establish the child's movements and identify anyone who may have come into contact with her. The investigation is ongoing, and police are yet to confirm the identity of the accused. Further details are expected once the forensic and other evidence is analysed.

India's gross manufacturing leasing posts 49 pc CAGR since 2021
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 9 (IANS) India's gross manufacturing leasing has reached a cumulative 69 million sq ft, registering a compound annual growth rate of 49 per cent since 2021, a report said on Wednesday. Indias manufacturing sector is witnessing an unprecedented transformation, with leasing demand for industrial spaces projected to capture 40 per cent of the market by 2030, the report from commercial real estate services firm JLL said. Manufacturing has now emerged as the second-largest occupier segment after third-party logistics (3PL), signaling a fundamental restructuring of Indias industrial real estate hierarchy. Gross absorption touched 19.2 million sq. ft. in 2025, and H1 2026 recorded 10.2 million sq. ft.a 19 per cent year-over-year increase for the first half. With manufacturing leasing absorption forecast to reach approximately 46 million sq. ft. by 2030, the sector's trajectory underscores India's evolution toward becoming a global manufacturing powerhouse aligned with its Vision 2047 aspirations, the report noted. The growth in the manufacturing real estate asset class reflects two distinct yet complementary strategies shaping India's industrial landscape. Tier-I cities are witnessing aggressive leasing of Grade-A facilities as manufacturers prioritise speed-to-market and be capex-light due to paucity of affordable land, said Yogesh Shevade, Managing Director, Industrial & Logistics, India, JLL. Simultaneously, Tier-II markets are seeing manufacturers opt for land acquisition, seeking greater customisation and long-term operational control, Shevade said. Both approaches signal robust manufacturing commitment; whether through leasing or ownership, India is becoming the factory floor of choice, he added. Grade-A properties captured 90 per cent of manufacturing leasing in 2025 and the shift toward high-specification facilities reflects stringent adherence to enhanced building standards, hygiene protocols, and safety norms. Nearly 14 emerging markets including Lucknow, Jaipur, Chandigarh tri-city, Bhubaneswar, Guwahati, Surat, Nagpur, Nashik, Goa, Indore, Sambhajinagar, Tuticorin, Coimbatore & Vizag are witnessing manufacturers prioritise land transactions over leasing, reflecting diverse regional strategies aligned with specific operational requirements.

Jodhpur High Court building case: 7 arrested, 1 detained after SIT probe into construction defects
Digital Desk | Jodhpur, Sep 9 (IANS) Jodhpur Police have arrested seven people and detained an eighth in connection with an investigation into alleged irregularities and serious construction defects in the new Rajasthan High Court building in Jodhpur. Police Commissioner Anshuman Bhomia outlined the investigation and arrests at a Press conference. According to police, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) found the roles of the construction company, firms and individuals associated with the fire-safety system, and officials responsible for supervising the project to be suspicious. Construction of the new High Court building began in 2011 and the structure was handed over in 2019, according to the police. Various defects were reported after the handover, including the collapse of false ceilings, a fire in Courtroom No. 2, cracks in the central dome and damage to pillars. Several institutions, including IIT Jodhpur, IIT Bombay and PTMES, subsequently conducted audits and surveys to assess the condition of the building. Following the findings, police constituted an SIT to conduct a detailed investigation. Samples were collected from the building and sent for forensic examination, while expert opinions were also sought. Police said the investigation raised questions about the role of companies supplying construction materials, agencies involved in executing the work, and individuals responsible for installing the fire-safety system. The role of officials of the Rajasthan State Road Development and Construction Corporation (RSRDC), who were responsible for overseeing and supervising the project, also came under scrutiny. According to the Police Commissioner, the investigation found evidence pointing to alleged criminal breach of trust involving officials. Police formed 12 special teams and four cyber teams to trace the suspects. Raids were conducted at multiple locations in Rajasthan, including Jodhpur, Jaipur, Kota, Bundi and Ajmer, as well as in Alwar, Delhi-NCR, Gurugram, Noida, Patiala and Kapurthala in Punjab, and Haridwar in Uttarakhand. Police said Varendra Garg, owner of VCL Group/Varendra Construction Company, the primary construction firm associated with the project, was detained in Haridwar late on Monday night. According to police, Garg had been changing locations to evade arrest. He was traced with the help of technical surveillance and coordination with police in other states. Jodhpur Police had announced a reward of 50,000 for information leading to his arrest. Police said eight individuals have been located in connection with the case. Seven have been arrested, while the process of arresting the eighth suspect was underway. Those arrested include Jitendra Sharma, then Assistant Engineer with RSRDC; Naveen Rai, then Project Manager with RSRDC; Rameshwar Dayal and Gopal Lal, who were associated with the installation of the fire-safety system; Deepak Mittal, formerly with RSRDC and currently an Executive Engineer in Jaipur; and Ajay Kishan Mutha, then Assistant Engineer with RSRDC. Police said the arrested accused have been taken on remand and are being questioned. Investigators said further action could follow if the enquiry establishes the involvement of additional individuals, officials or companies.
