Rajasthan Police issue advisory on securing Wi-Fi networks
Jaipur, Sep 5 (IANS)In its effort to curb cybercrime and strengthen public awareness about cybersecurity, the Cyber Crime Branch, Rajasthan Police, has issued an advisory urging citizens to secure their Wi-Fi networks against hacking and unauthorised access. Additional Director General of Police (Cyber Crime) VK Singh said that in today's digital environment, Wi-Fi is not merely a means of accessing the internet but a network connecting mobile phones, laptops, smart TVs, and other smart devices in homes and offices. Weak router security can allow unauthorised devices to connect to the network, potentially resulting in increased data consumption, slower internet speeds, data breaches, cyber fraud, hacking, and compromise of personal information. Citizens who suspect that an unauthorised device is connected to their Wi-Fi network can connect a mobile phone or laptop to the same network and access the router's administration page through a web browser. After logging in with the router's administrator username and password, users can check the list of connected devices under options such as Connected Devices, Device List, or Attached Devices. Any unfamiliar device should be investigated and removed from the network. The Cyber Crime Branch has advised users to immediately change the default administrator password provided by the router manufacturer. Router settings can generally be accessed through addresses such as 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Users should also set a strong Wi-Fi password containing a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. The Wi-Fi network name (SSID) should preferably not reveal personal information or unnecessarily disclose the router's brand. The advisory recommends enabling WPA3 encryption wherever supported by the router. If WPA3 is unavailable, users should use at least WPA2-AES. Older and outdated security protocols such as WEP and WPA should be avoided. For stronger security, users are advised to keep WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) disabled. The remote management feature of the router should also be turned off unless it is specifically required, as disabling it reduces the risk of unauthorised attempts to access router settings over the internet. Households using smart TVs, smart appliances, cameras, or other IoT devices should consider connecting them to a guest Wi-Fi network rather than the primary network. Separating these devices can provide an additional layer of protection for mobile phones, laptops, and other important devices connected to the main network. Users should regularly update their router's firmware to ensure that the latest security patches released by the manufacturer are installed. Where available and appropriate, users may also enable MAC address filtering/whitelisting to restrict network access to trusted devices. Rajasthan Police have appealed to citizens to immediately report incidents involving Wi-Fi tampering, cyber fraud, hacking, unauthorised access, or other cybercrimes to the nearest police station or cyber police station. In cases of financial cyber fraud, citizens should immediately call the cybercrime helpline number 1930 to seek prompt assistance.

Shocking video captures jewellery heist in Jaipur; woman flees with ornament box worth lakhs
A shocking jewellery theft has come to light from Jaipur, Rajasthan where a woman posing as a customer fled with jewellery box worth lakhs. The perpetrators, posing as customers, first asked the jeweler to show them some ornaments; they then engaged the staff in conversation and, seizing the right moment, made off with gold jewellery. The entire incident was captured on the shop's CCTV camera.The incident occurred in the Bajaj Nagar police station area, Jaipur. According to reports, a woman visited a jewellery shop under the pretext of shopping, accompanied by a transgender person. The two asked the jeweler to show them various pieces of jewellery. While the jeweler was busy displaying the items, the accused seized the opportunity to steal gold rings and tops.
Rajasthan civic polls: Ex-BJP MLA's 'no youth will remain bachelor' remark goes viral
Jaipur, Sep 5 (IANS) Political activity has intensified in Rajasthan ahead of the municipal body elections, with a video of former BJP MLA Ram Lal Sharma drawing attention on social media over his remarks about the marriage prospects of unmarried youths. The controversy surfaced after Sharma, while inaugurating the election office of BJP candidate Rajkumar Barala, contesting from Ward 20 of the Chomu Municipal Council, said: Get Rajkumar Barala elected once, and not a single boy of yours will remain a bachelor. The statement has since become a talking point in local political circles. Addressing party workers and supporters, the former Chomu MLA said that if Barala is elected, there would be no shortage in getting their work done. During his address, he also referred to marriage, saying that none of the unmarried youths among those present would remain without a marriage. Sharmas latest remark is also being linked to an incident from last year, when a 43-year-old unmarried man sought his help in finding a marriage match. Kailash Sharma, a resident of Chitwadi in Chomu, had reportedly written to the former MLA after seeing a statement on social media about helping unmarried men above the age of 40 get married. In his letter, Kailash said he was 43 and still unmarried and appealed to Sharma to help him find a match. Sharmas latest remarks are now being viewed in the context of that earlier episode. The electoral contest in the Chomu Municipal Council has also become competitive, with 119 candidates contesting across 45 wards. While BJP and Congress candidates are facing each other directly in most wards, candidates from the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) and several independents, including rebel candidates, have added another dimension to the contests. In these wards, candidates other than those from the BJP and Congress are in the fray. Independent candidates, particularly party rebels, could potentially influence the electoral equations. Ward 32 has emerged as an even more closely contested seat, with five candidates in the fray. With several wards witnessing triangular and multi-cornered contests, the outcome in Chomu could depend on how independent and third-party candidates perform.

Penguin was under pressure, new publisher will release Sonia Gandhis book on Nov 10: Ashok Gehlot
Jaipur, Sep 5 (IANS) Former Rajasthan Chief Minister, Ashok Gehlot, has alleged that Penguin's decision to withdraw from publishing Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi's upcoming book was the result of pressure from the Prime Minister's Office or the central government. Speaking to the media on Saturday, Gehlot said the publisher was prevaricating and making excuses and claimed that Penguin's global parent organisation was willing to publish the book in other markets. If the book can be published globally, why can't it be published in India? Gehlot asked, alleging that the reasons given by Penguin for withdrawing from the publication had been exposed. Gehlot further alleged that despite the allegations concerning pressure from the PMO and the government, there had been no response from the government. He described this silence as a tacit admission of the allegations. Defending Sonia Gandhi, Gehlot said she was not an ordinary political leader, pointing to her tenure as Congress President for 22 years, her role as Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, and her tenure as Chairperson of the National Advisory Council (NAC) during the UPA government. He also credited the UPA era with several major initiatives, including the Right to Education (RTE), Food Security Act, Right to Information (RTI) and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). Gehlot also spoke at length about Sonia Gandhi's personal journey and her association with the Nehru-Gandhi family. Referring to the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and later the death of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, he said Sonia Gandhi had faced significant personal losses before eventually agreeing to take an active leadership role in the Congress at the request of party leaders. Responding to past criticism over Sonia Gandhi's foreign origins, Gehlot said such distinctions become irrelevant when a person dedicates themselves to the country they have adopted as their own. He also recalled the criticism faced by Sonia Gandhi when she became Congress president and argued that her contribution and long political career should be judged on her work rather than her origins. Gehlot claimed that even some people associated with the RSS and BJP privately admire Sonia Gandhi's personality and achievements, although they may not publicly acknowledge it. Gehlot described Sonia Gandhi's forthcoming autobiography as an important step towards presenting her own account of her life and political journey. According to Gehlot, the book is intended in part to counter what he described as misconceptions and allegations surrounding Sonia Gandhi and the Nehru-Gandhi family during the years of the NDA government. He also said Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi had maintained restraint despite repeated political attacks and allegations against them. Addressing the question of a new publisher taking over the project, Gehlot said several major publishers had approached the authors immediately after news emerged of Penguin's withdrawal. He said the arrival of another publisher was, therefore, not unexpected and asserted that the book would be printed and released on November 10. Gehlot's remarks came amid continuing political controversy surrounding the publication of Sonia Gandhi's forthcoming autobiography and Penguin's reported decision to withdraw from the Indian publication.
