CM Rekha Gupta inspects Barapullah Phase-III corridor, calls it new push for Delhi connectivity
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 26 (IANS) Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday said the Barapullah Elevated Road Phase-III corridor is ready for public use and will be inaugurated by Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on September 29. Gupta shared a post on X after inspecting the entire corridor ahead of the inauguration. She said, Barapulla Elevated Road Phase-III is now ready to serve the people of Delhi. Inspected the entire corridor today ahead of its inauguration by Honble Union & Cooperation Minister Shri @AmitShah Ji on 29th September. Under the leadership of Honble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji, Delhis Infrastructure Development is gaining new momentum. Such landmark projects are giving a new direction to Delhis connectivity and growth. This long-awaited corridor will provide Signal-Free Connectivity from Mayur Vihar Phase-I to AIIMS, making travel between East and South Delhi smoother and providing relief to citizens from Traffic Congestion, she explained. The 3.5-km elevated four-lane corridor will provide a signal-free link between Mayur Vihar Phase-I in East Delhi and Sarai Kale Khan, integrating with the existing Barapullah network towards Central and South Delhi, including AIIMS. The project has been constructed at a revised estimated cost of around Rs 1,635 crore. Once operational, the corridor is expected to substantially reduce travel time for commuters travelling from East Delhi and Noida towards AIIMS and other parts of South Delhi. The journey, which can take around 35-40 minutes during peak periods, is expected to drop to about 15 minutes via the signal-free route. The corridor also incorporates dedicated infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists, including a cycle track across the Yamuna floodplain. It is expected to ease traffic pressure at key points including Sarai Kale Khan, Ring Road, DND Flyway and NH-24. The Barapullah Phase-III project was approved in 2014, and construction began in 2015. It was initially scheduled for completion in 2017 but faced several delays before reaching completion this year.

CBI opposes bail plea of ex-judge Giribala Singh in Twisha Sharma death case
Digital Desk | Jabalpur/Bhopal, Sep 26 (IANS) The CBI has opposed the bail plea of former district judge Giribala Singh in the Twisha Sharma death case, telling the Madhya Pradesh High Court that there is ample evidence indicating her alleged complicity and that she could influence witnesses and tamper with evidence if released. In its reply filed before the High Court at Jabalpur, the agency said further investigation was continuing into certain important aspects of the case and urged the court to reject Singh's petition under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. There is ample evidence on record against the accused/petitioner showing the complicity of the accused in the crime, the CBI said, according to the document available with IANS. The agency further submitted that here is every likelihood that if the accused/petitioner is released on bail may influence the witnesses and tamper with the evidences. The case relates to the death of Twisha Sharma, who was found hanging at her matrimonial home in Bhopal's Katara Hills area on the night of May 12, 2026. According to the CBI, Twisha married Samarth Singh on December 9, 2025. After the family allegedly discovered her pregnancy on April 17, a dispute arose between her and her matrimonial family, following which she left for Noida. The agency said allegations regarding Twisha's character were levelled by her husband and mother-in-law and that the issue was reflected in WhatsApp chats examined during the investigation. Twisha returned to Bhopal on April 30 and underwent an abortion, the CBI said. It alleged that she subsequently asked her mother to take her back to her maternal home, claiming she was facing continuous harassment and cruelty. On May 12, Twisha allegedly called her mother and informed her about abusive behaviour by her husband. Later that night, she was found hanging at the matrimonial house and was taken to AIIMS Bhopal, where doctors declared her dead. An FIR was registered at Katara Hills police station on May 15 against Giribala Singh and Samarth Singh under Sections 80(2), 85 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The Madhya Pradesh government subsequently sought transfer of the investigation to the CBI. The Supreme Court took suo motu cognisance of the matter on May 25, following which the CBI registered its case the same day and took over the probe. The CBI said Singh was arrested on May 28 after the High Court cancelled her anticipatory bail. It also alleged that she initially did not fully cooperate in providing her voice samples. According to the agency, CBI officials and CFSL experts visited Central Jail, Bhopal, on July 9 and 10 to obtain voice samples. Singh allegedly refused to provide the remaining specimen on the second day, following which the CBI approached the trial court. Her remaining voice samples were obtained after a court order dated July 14. The agency also alleged that both accused did not cooperate with CFSL experts during reconstruction of the crime scene. The CBI filed a charge sheet against Giribala Singh and Samarth Singh on August 17 under Sections 85, 108 and 3(5) of the BNS. It said further investigation into allegations relating to dowry death, dowry and other aspects was continuing. The agency also told the High Court that financial details of the deceased had been examined and alleged that money was transferred to her account by the accused on various occasions, while a substantial portion was subsequently used for their own expenses through her account. The CBI further claimed that co-accused Samarth Singh (Twisha's husband) had absconded during the initial investigation by Bhopal Police. The case is currently at the stage of framing of charges, according to the agency's reply.

Kedarnath Dham generated 50.30 metric tonnes of waste in just five months from April to August 2026. This figure is more than two and a half times the waste collected during the entire pilgrimage season the previous year. The Nagar Panchayat provided this information in response to a query raised by Amit Gupta, an RTI activist from Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The waste generated in just the first five months of this year far exceeds the total waste produced in any single year over the preceding three years. According to the Nagar Panchayat, waste generation in Kedarnath stood at 32.58 metric tonnes in 2023, 26.10 metric tonnes in 2024, and 21.40 metric tonnes in 2025.

Wrong Precedent: Lawyers Body Protests Supreme Courts Handling Of Noida DMs Plea
THE LAWYERS ASSOCIATION FOR CONSTITUTION (LAFC) has written to the Chief Justice of India questioning the special listing and muted live proceedings in the case of Noida District Magistrate Medha Roopam. LAFC has sent an open letter to the Chief Justice of India protesting the listing of two petitions filed over strictures passed against Gautam Buddh Nagar District Magistrate Medha Roopam. The letter, dated September 24, objects to the matter being placed before a particular bench outside the ordinary roster, and to the muting of the video conferencing feed during the hearing. The out-of-turn listing of the case has received special treatment and tends to set a wrong precedent, the LAFC wrote. The letter noted that Roopam also happens to be the daughter of the Chief Election Commissioner of India, namely Gyanesh Kumar. Allahabad High Court Quashing NSA Against Akriti and Indicting Civil Servants Captures Sardar Patel and Ambedkars Vision The underlying case The dispute traces back to protests by workers in Noida demanding wage revisions. A student, Akriti Chaudhary, was detained under the National Security Act in connection with the unrest. The Allahabad High Court quashed her detention and directed Roopam to pay Rs 5 lakh compensation from her own salary. Paragraphs 27 to 33 of that judgment recorded strictures against the DM, holding that she desired to set an example out of Chaudhary to deter others from exercising their right to freedom of speech and expression in public spaces in support of labourers. Roopam and the Uttar Pradesh government moved the Supreme Court against the order. The petitions, SLP (Crl.) Diary No. 56202/2026 and SLP (Crl.) No. 18010/2026, came up before a bench of Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice N K Singh. Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi appeared for the state, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta for Roopam, and Senior Advocate Colin Gonsalves for Chaudhary. Muted proceedings, then a clarified order During the September 23 hearing, the bench muted the audio of the video conferencing feed, cutting off media access since reporters cannot enter the courtroom in person. The Court reserved orders on interim relief that day. Later on September 23, the Court stayed paragraphs 27 to 33 of the High Court judgment, the portion recording strictures and directing salary recovery. Notice was issued, and the matter was listed for October 7. The Court clarified that the stay did not extend to the quashing of Chaudharys NSA detention itself, which stands. On September 24, the Court revised its order to make this distinction explicit, specifying that the stay operates only on the adverse remarks against the officer and the compensation direction. The LAFCs objection While the LAFCs in its letter has not disputed the merits of the stay, it has raised complaints such as that the case did not fall before this bench under the prevailing roster for NSA matters, that it appears to have been specially assigned, and that muting the live feed in a case important for media and the public undermines the openness that video conferencing is meant to provide. The special listing before a particular bench has also not enhanced confidence in the judicial process, the letter states.

'Was travelling with my husband... dont know where he is now': Victim of Greater Noida bus fire
Digital Desk | Greater Noida, Sep 24 (IANS) A woman who suffered burn injuries in the Greater Noida double-decker bus fire was admitted to Aarogyadhara Hospital in Jewar for treatment on Thursday. Speaking to IANS, she shared her ordeal in the aftermath of the accident. Nine people died, and several others were seriously injured after a massive fire broke out in the double-decker bus in Greater Noida, near the 33 Km milestone on the Yamuna Expressway. The double-decker bus was going from Delhis Kashmiri Gate to Uttar Pradeshs Mahoba. I was going from Hisar, Chandannagar to Mahoba with my husband because my mother-in-law had passed away, she said. When asked about her husband, the woman started crying and said that she doesnt know where he was now after the mishap. His name is Devendra, she said. Narrating her experience, she said, I dont know what happened; suddenly the bus caught fire, and people started panicking and shouting 'fire, fire'. Additional District Magistrate Ajeet Kumar Singh of Gautam Buddha Nagar said, The fire was caused due to a short circuit. As you might know, the tragic accident occurred around 11.15 p.m. on Wednesday. Preliminary investigation reveals that a short circuit caused a fire on the bus. It was an AC sleeper bus travelling from Delhi to Mahoba. Nine people died and one of the victims, a woman, is being treated at the Aarogyadhara Hospital, he informed. He said, Some of the passengers who had minor injuries have been sent back to Mahoba to be treated for minor injuries. Some returned in personal vehicles while others were given special transport. President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi mourned the tragedy. The Centre and the Uttar Pradesh governments both announced compensation of Rs. 2 lakh each for the next of kin of all the deceased and Rs. 50,000 to the injured. More than 30 passengers were reportedly travelling on the bus when it suddenly caught fire. Nine passengers, including a woman, were trapped inside and burnt alive in the massive blaze. Upon receiving the information, senior police officials, along with the local police force and a fire tender stationed at the Jewar Toll Plaza, responded, according to the officials. Four additional fire tenders and a fire service unit immediately rushed to the scene and completely extinguished the fire. Preliminary investigations suggest the fire originated from a spark or blast in the bus's air conditioning system, which ignited the engine's lubricating oil and caused the fire to spread rapidly. The driver and conductor were taken into custody, and a case was registered under relevant sections.
Rs 1.19 Lakh cyber fraud racket busted in Delhi; four posing as Axis Bank officials arrested
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 24 (IANS) The Delhi Police have busted a cyber fraud racket involving impersonation as Axis Bank customer-care officials and arrested four people in connection with a Rs 1.19 lakh fraud case, officials said on Thursday. According to police, the accused posed as bank officials and cheated a credit-card holder on the pretext of cancelling a fictitious annual maintenance charge plan and issuing a new credit card. The fraudsters allegedly used virtual phone numbers, fake service-request details and a third-party payment application to gain the victims confidence. The accused siphoned off Rs 1,19,837 through multiple UPI transactions routed through the CheQ application. Eight mobile phones were also recovered, while technical analysis of one of the devices reportedly linked it to 32 other complaints. The case came to light after complainant Yash Sharma received a call on July 16 from a person allegedly posing as an Axis Bank credit-card official. The caller informed him about an AMC charge of Rs 2,499 and, when Sharma sought its cancellation, told him that he would receive a call from the banks customer-care department. He subsequently received another call from a number allegedly used to impersonate Axis Bank customer care. The caller induced him to download the CheQ application, claiming it was required to cancel the AMC plan and issue a new credit card. The victim was allegedly directed to make three UPI payments of Rs 2,538.81, Rs 58,647.68 and Rs 58,647.68, totalling Rs 1,19,834.17. Police said the accused also provided a fake service-request number and assured the victim that his new card would be activated within four hours and delivered within two days. After the card did not arrive, the victim contacted genuine Axis Bank customer care on July 17 and was informed that no such request existed. He blocked his card and reported the matter through the Cyber Crime Portal. An e-FIR was subsequently registered at PS Cyber North under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. A dedicated team under the supervision of DCP North District Niharika Bhatt conducted technical and financial analysis of call-detail records, mobile numbers, Google account data, UPI transactions and beneficiary bank accounts. The investigation traced the transaction trail to a Kotak Mahindra Bank account linked to Prince Kumar. Police said the account showed suspicious transactions exceeding Rs 12 lakh within five to seven days. Prince Kumar, 20, was arrested from Aligarh on September 15. His interrogation led police to Vishal Tomar, 21, and Vishal Raghav, 27, both from Aligarh. Sanjay Verma, 40, of Uttam Nagar, was subsequently arrested. Police said Verma had previously worked at a call centre in Noida and allegedly learned the modus operandi of impersonating bank officials. Investigators suspect the accused used the Indy Number application to generate virtual numbers resembling bank customer-care numbers and used CheQ to route the allegedly fraudulent funds. Police said the network involved multiple roles, including arranging bank accounts, procuring SIM cards and withdrawing money through ATMs for commissions. The search for two other alleged associates, Bobby and Avtar, is underway. Further investigation is being conducted to trace the complete financial trail, identify additional victims and establish the role of other members of the alleged network.

Earlier in the day, CM Yogi expressed condolences to the families of those who lost their lives. He assured all possible assistance to the next of kin. He also directed officials to ensure proper medical treatment for those injured in the accident and wished for their speedy recovery.

According to officials, the bus, travelling from Kashmiri Gate, New Delhi, towards Uttar Pradesh's Mahoba, caught fire suddenly near the 33 km milestone on the Yamuna Expressway, within the jurisdiction of the Jewar Police Station, triggering panic among passengers, many of whom jumped out of the windows to save themselves.
