Noida Police arrests bus driver for murder after woman's headless body found in drain
NOIDA: A 34-year-old bus driver has been arrested for the alleged murder of a woman whose headless and limbless body was found in a drain in Noida on November 6, police said on Saturday. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Noida) Yamuna Prasad said the body was found in a drain under the limits of Sector-39 police station, with toe rings being the only identifiable clue. Nine police teams were formed to trace the woman's identity and the suspect. More than 5,000 CCTV cameras were scanned and around 1,100 vehicles were checked. Of these, 44 vehicles were shortlisted and their owners and drivers were questioned, Prasad said. The investigation led the police to a white-and-blue bus seen moving suspiciously near the crime scene on November 5 with its lights switched off. The bus, bearing registration number UP16 KT 0037, was traced to driver Monu Singh alias Monu Solanki, a resident of Barola here, the police said. Further inquiries revealed that the woman, identified as Preeti Yadav, alias Preeti Devi, had been missing for five to six days and was known to be in a prolonged dispute with Singh. She was later confirmed to be the victim, the officer said. Police arrested Singh on Friday and recovered the bus, bloodstained mat, clothes of the deceased and other remains based on his disclosure. During interrogation, Singh allegedly told police that he had been in an illicit relationship with Preeti, who worked in a jeans factory in Barola along with her mother. He claimed she had begun extorting money from him and frequently threatened to implicate him or involve his daughters in illegal activities, the DCP said. Prasad said the accused confessed to picking up Preeti on November 5 after taking a 'gadansa' (sharp-edged tool) from her house without her knowledge. They ate food inside the bus, after which an argument broke out. Singh claimed he attacked her with the weapon, beheaded her and severed her hands to hide her identity, he said. The accused allegedly disposed of the torso in a drain in Noida and dumped other remains and the weapon in a dry drain near Siddharth Vihar in Ghaziabad. Forensic examination of the bus and seized items confirmed the presence of human blood, Prasad said. An FIR has been registered under Sections 103(1) and 238 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and further legal proceedings are underway, the police added.
Retired surgeon loses Rs 1.6 crore in year-long digital arrest scam
BENGALURU: Incredible, but true. A 70-year-old retired surgeon is the latest victim of a digital arrest scam, losing over Rs 1.6 crore in a year. The year-long struggle of Dr. Rajesh (name changed) came to an end after the Noida police in UP arrested one of the accused and learnt about Rajesh through the financial transactions the latter had with the accused. The Noida cops tried to contact the doctor but he did not answer their calls, prompting them to alert the Bengaluru City Police. Even after Bengaluru police tried calling him several times, Rajesh did not respond. Later, the cops visited his house and informed him about the situation, but he denied knowing anything about the digital arrest scam. The cops then contacted his family and convinced the victim to register a complaint. However, he is yet to approach the police, said a senior police officer. The officer added that after the cops approached him, the victim called the fake police, who had digitally arrested him earlier, and asked what he should do. The accused had created extreme fear in the victim. Just imagine what he has been going through for the past year, the officer said. The victim lives in the city with his wife, while his two children live abroad. A preliminary probe revealed that he was arrested whenever the cyber fraudsters required money and extorted him for a year. Yet Rajesh didnt want to share the details and bank records with the police. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime-2) Raja Imam Kasim P told TNIE that the police have asked the victim to file a complaint. However, the victim is yet to come forward and is not sharing details of his loss. Police or any special agency never arrest people online. Police can arrest an accused physically only after issuing a notice and explaining him the grounds of arrest. If anyone receives a call claiming an online/digital arrest, they should not share any personal detail, hang up the video call and contact their local police, Kasim said. Anyone who falls prey to a digital arrest scam should immediately call 1930, which helps the police to freeze the transferred amount. The younger generation must educate their parents and family members about online scams, as senior citizens are increasingly falling victim to such fraud, he added.

Moved On From Paris: Olympian Nikhat Zareen Eyes World Boxing Cup Finals Gold At Home
Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports: Buoyed by a 45-day-long national camp at the Sports Authority of Indias (SAI) Netaji Subhas National Institute of Sports in Patiala, two-time world champion Nikhat Zareen is all geared up for the upcoming World Boxing Cup final to be held from November 14 to 21 at Greater Noidas Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex. Nikhat is part of a 20-member Indian contingent 10 men and 10 women that trained from October 1 to November 14 at SAI NSNIS Patiala for the World Boxing Cup. Nikhat, who lost in the 51 kg quarterfinals of the World Championships in Liverpool recently, is determined to revive her season with a first international medal in the World Boxing Cup finals. In Liverpool, Nikhat lost 5-0 to two-time Olympic silver medallist Buse Naz akrolu of Turkiye. The Boxing World Championships in Liverpool was my first international competition after a one-year sabbatical. It was a great lesson as I lost to a two-time Olympic medallist in the quarters. So, my current focus is the Boxing World Cup finals and I aim to win gold and start my comeback from there this season, said Nikhat in a chat with SAI Media in Patiala on Thursday. India is hosting the World Boxing Cup finals in Greater Noida, so I am very excited to participate in it. After the 2023 World Championships, I am going to compete in India for the first time, so competing in front of the home crowd is a different experience altogether. As there are a lot of expectations from Indian fans, I want to give it my best to bring a smile on their faces, Nikhat said. India has hosted the World Championships in boxing in the past but staging the World Boxing Cup finals for the first time is part of a greater scheme to bring world-class events like the World Para Athletics Championships, the ICC Womens Cricket World Cup, Billie Jean King Cup Play-Offs to India for providing homegrown athletes the invaluable opportunity to compete in familiar conditions against the highest level of international opposition. For Hyderabad-based Nikhat, its going to be a fresh start. The Paris Olympics was a great experience for me; unfortunately, I couldnt bring a medal back home. But after that, I decided that whatever happens, happens for a reason. I have moved on. My main focus is now the LA 2028 Olympics, but there are a lot of competitions in my way till I reach there, said Nikhat. Talking about the home pressure, the 29-year-old pugilist said that pressure is always there when you are representing your country. Nikhat also informed that she has to reduce her weight from 51kg to 50kg in the flyweight group as per the new categories announced by the World Boxing. In my case, I have to change my body weight as the new categories will be part of the next Olympic Games. Pressure is always there, whether it involves a change of training strategy, tactics, or having food and sleeping on time. There is also pressure as to how our bodies execute the strategy planned before a particular bout. All the strategy gets wiped out from the mind once you enter the boxing ring. So, I only keep my focus on winning the bout when the referee blows the whistle. Talking about the home pressure, the 29-year-old pugilist said that pressure is always there when you are representing your country. Nikhat also informed that she has to reduce her weight from 51kg to 50kg in the flyweight group as per the new categories announced by the World Boxing.

DEHRADUN: As news of the Supreme Court's acquittal of Surinder Koli, the main convict in the horrific 2006 Nithari serial killings, spread through his native village in Uttarakhand, no family members remain to celebrate. The infamous case, which shook the nation, has left a permanent scar on Mangrukhal village in Almora district. Koli, originally from the remote village, worked as a domestic help for businessman Moninder Singh Pandher in Noidas Sector-31 when the gruesome discovery of skeletal remains of at least eight children was made in a drain behind the house on December 29, 2006. The subsequent excavation revealed remains belonging to poor children and young women who had gone missing from the area. While Koli is legally free, his family has been decimated by the infamy. His mother Kunti Devi passed away three years ago, still waiting for her son to return, while his wife Shanti Devi fled the village around a decade ago with their two children, choosing anonymity over social ostracism. The disgrace was too much to bear, a local source commented on the family's plight. When Surinder went to jail, his daughter was young, and his wife was pregnant with their son. They faced constant humiliation. Nithari killings: SC acquits Surendra Koli in last pending case Shanti Devi reportedly settled in Haryana, never visiting her husband in prison nor returning home. Her current whereabouts are not known. Kolis brothers have also severed ties with the village, leaving behind a legacy of shame and sorrow. The family's ancestral home now stands as a crumbling ruin. The legal reprieve was secured through persistent efforts by former Zila Panchayat member Narayan Singh Rawat. Rawat recounted the crucial intervention in 2014 when Kolis death warrant was imminent after the Allahabad High Court upheld the death penalty. I contacted lawyers and managed to get the court opened late at night, Rawat stated. We argued that since Koli was an accused in 14 separate cases, executing him for one would jeopardize justice in the remaining thirteen. The court agreed to review the matter. This legal maneuver ultimately led to the Supreme Court's decision on Tuesday to acquit him.

Nithari killings: SC acquits Surendra Koli in last pending case
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed a curative petition filed by Surendra Koli challenging his conviction and death sentence in one of the Nithari murder cases. With the apex court allowing the curative plea, Koli will now be a free man as he is already acquitted in other Nithari cases. The Nithari killings came to light with the discovery of skeletal remains of eight children from a drain behind businessman Moninder Singh's Pandher's house at Nithari in Noida on December 29, 2006. The order was passed by a bench comprising Chief Justice B R Gavai and Justices Surya Kant and Vikram Nath, which had heard Koli's petition in the open court. Koli was convicted for the rape and murder of a 15-year-old girl in Noida's Nithari village, and his conviction was upheld by the Supreme Court in February 2011. His review plea was dismissed in 2014. However, in January 2015, the Allahabad High Court commuted his death sentence to life imprisonment due to an inordinate delay in the decision on his mercy petition. In October 2023, the Allahabad High Court acquitted Koli and co-accused Pandher in several other Nithari cases, overturning the death sentences awarded by the trial court in 2017. The court acquitted Koli in 12 cases and Pandher in two. The CBI and the victims' families later challenged these acquittals before the Supreme Court, but the top court dismissed all 14 appeals on July 30 this year.

A First-Time EV Buyer's Guide in India, Featuring the VinFast VF 6 and VF 7
Electric vehicles are steadily finding their place in Indias daily life, and VinFast s locally assembled VF 6 and VF 7 show how first-time buyers can embrace electric mobility with confidence. With the VF 6 and VF 7, VinFast is offering range, safety features, and ownership support at pricing positioned for real Indian buyers rather than early adopters only Electric vehicles are still gaining their footing in India, but awareness and adoption are steadily growing. Charging networks are expanding in major cities, more residential properties are beginning to support home charger installation, and manufacturers are taking steps toward local production. VinFast has joined this evolving landscape with the VF 6 and VF 7, two electric SUVs now being assembled at its Thoothukudi factory in Tamil Nadu. Both are designed for everyday Indian conditions, from daily urban travel to occasional highway trips, while offering comfort for families and regular commuters alike. If you are thinking about buying your first EV, here are the key factors to evaluate, explained through what the VF 6 and VF 7 offer. 1. Start with Your Driving Pattern Before considering any model, first calculate how many kilometers you realistically cover on weekdays and weekends. Pay attention to where you usually park and whether you can charge at home or depend on public charging. Choosing the wrong range for your use will either lead to unnecessary spending or frequent charging inconvenience. If your routine involves daily trips through Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, or Delhi, the VF 6 fits well as a compact urban electric SUV. It is equipped with a 59.6 kWh battery that delivers an ARAI-rated range of up to 468 km. This covers several days of commuting for typical users before needing a charge. The size also makes parking and maneuvering easier in crowded city roads. For buyers who frequently travel between cities or prefer a roomier cabin, the VF 7 suits highway and family use. Depending on the variant, the VF 7 offers up to 532 km of ARAI-certified range with its larger 70.8 kWh battery. The spacious interior and longer wheelbase improve comfort on long-distance drives. 2. Understand Battery Chemistry and Warranty Not all EV batteries age the same way. Heat resistance and charging patterns influence long-term battery health. A battery with stable thermal performance is generally better suited for Indias climate. Both VinFast models use Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries. This chemistry is known for thermal stability and long battery lifespan, an advantage under Indias high-heat conditions. VinFast backs its battery performance with a 10-year or 200,000 km warranty. This eliminates guesswork about long-term durability. 3. Charging Options Will Shape Your Experience If you have a private parking slot, a home wall charger is the simplest setup. It fully charges the battery overnight and costs significantly less than petrol or diesel refueling. For public charging, networks are expanding across malls, office zones, and highways. VinFast owners also benefit from free public charging at V-Green-operated stations until July 2028. This incentive substantially lowers running costs and makes long drives more predictable. If you live in an apartment, confirm with the building association whether charger installation is allowed in your parking area. 4. Look Closely at Safety and Driver Assistance Safety systems are not just comfort features. They help reduce the likelihood of collision in dense traffic and provide support on long drives. Even the VF 6 base variants include ABS, electronic stability control, hill hold assist, seatbelt reminders, and driver airbags. Higher VF 6 trims add features such as adaptive cruise control, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, lane keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking. The VF 7 expands safety further in higher trims with a driver monitoring system, surround-view camera support, and additional airbags. These systems reduce fatigue on long trips and add protection on busy highways. 5. Test the Cabin, Screens, and Real Comfort A test drive reveals how an EV feels to live with. The VF 6 offers a clean interior layout anchored around a 12.9-inch infotainment screen. Higher trims bring ventilated seats and dual-zone climate control, which help in summer conditions. The VF 7 presents a more premium cabin with larger seating space and optional panoramic glass roof. The Sky variant adds dual motors and all-wheel drive, giving notably stronger performance for those who prioritise acceleration. 6. Confirm Service Access Before Buying A vehicle is only as worry-free as its service network. Always check where the nearest service center is located and how easily spare parts can be sourced. VinFast currently has 24 operational dealerships and showrooms across key Indian cities including Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, Kochi, Visakhapatnam, and others. These locations support retail, servicing, and customer assistance. This network is expanding toward a planned 35 showrooms and 120 extended service workshops by the end of 2025. The company has additional partnerships with RoadGrid, myTVS, Castrol India, and Global Assure for roadside support and service reliability. 7. Calculate Total Ownership Cost, Not Only the Sticker Price Running costs are where EVs recover value. Home charging is significantly cheaper per kilometer than petrol or diesel. EVs also require fewer mechanical service tasks because there are no engine oil changes, timing belts, or exhaust systems. The VF 6 starts at Rs. 16.49 lakh and the VF 7 starts at Rs. 20.89 lakh. With free charging until 2028 and three years of complimentary maintenance, both models specifically offer lower recurring costs in the first ownership cycle compared to many petrol or diesel SUVs in the same price segments. Switching to an EV becomes straightforward when you match the vehicle to your daily needs, plan charging access early, and choose a brand that provides strong warranty and service structure. With the VF 6 and VF 7, VinFast is offering range, safety features, and ownership support at pricing positioned for real Indian buyers rather than early adopters only. This is where the transition to electric mobility becomes practical rather than experimental.
