DC Edit | R.G. Kar case: Justice served
The conviction and sentencing to life of the lone accused in the case of the rape and brutal murder of a post-graduate medical student on duty at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital bring to a close the cries for justice the medical community and the general public have raised since it happened on August 9, 2024. However, the larger question of security of medical professionals and their institutions remains a subject across India that needs urgent remedial measures. The news of the gruesome incident involving a medico in her own institution shocked the conscience of the nation and the initial laxity the Kolkata police displayed made people irrespective of their political affiliations restive. The failure of the medical college authorities and the police to secure the scene of the crime was baffling while the vandalism by a few thousand goons on the campus a week later was indigestible. Though the Kolkata police arrested the culprit, who was associated with the police department, the unprecedented events forced the Calcutta high court to engage the CBI in the investigation of the case. It must be remembered that the CBI made no new findings other than those made by the state police, though the victims colleagues and near ones suspected the role of more than one person in the incident. That the incident became a political football is the most unfortunate of all, and that game continues. It is understandable that the immediate relatives of the girl would want capital punishment for the culprit but it does not behove the chief minister to throw in her weight behind the demand and attempt to get political mileage out of it. The court has spoken its mind; constitutional institutions must respect it. The rape-murder bared the sorry state of security affairs in our medical institutions, forcing the Supreme Court to set up an expert panel to study the issue and suggest corrective measures. It is understood that the panel has submitted its recommendations. The governments at the Centre and in the states must waste no time to start working on it and put in place systems so that the Kolkata episode would have a repeat in no Indian institution.

Justice Ghose Panel to Resume Klis Inquiry
Hyderabad: The Justice P.C. Ghose Commission of Inquiry will resume hearings and cross-examination of witnesses in the irregularities in the Kaleshwaram project (KLIS) on Tuesday with a special focus on the money trail. This will be the last phase of the probe as the commission's term ends on February 28. It is expected the government will give one more two-month extension to the commission for preparing the final report. The final report will likely be submitted at the end of March. Among the first few to be cross-examined on Tuesday will be special chief secretary (finance) K. Ramakrishna Rao. In subsequent days, he will be followed by other officials involved in the chain of command for releasing funds. The commission, it is learnt, will focus on financial transactions of the project as there are believed to be certain indications that the release of money for bills submitted by contractors may not have followed the rule book. Also to be called for cross-examination will be representatives from L&T-JES PV which built the Medigadda barrage the worst hit among the three of the project. Officials of Afcons, which built the Annaram barrage, and Navayuga, which constructed the Sundilla barrage, are also expected to be cross-examined.

Chandrashekar Rao, former irrigation and finance minister T. Harish Rao, and another former minister Etala Rajender will be summoned by the commission as the last few witnesses.
Guntur cybercrime police arrest social media fraudster at Indo-Nepal Border
Vijayawada: A team of the Guntur Cyber Crime Police has arrested a person who impersonated as Telugu Desam NRI convener for defrauding several persons in the guise of providing them medical assistance. The accused, Konduri Rajesh (34), was caught at the Indo-Nepal border in Panitanki, Darjeeling district of West Bengal, after a manhunt by the AP CID team. Police here said in a media release that the accused had fled to Goa, then to the Andaman Islands, and subsequently to Nepal via Uttar Pradesh and he continued his fraudulent activities there too. The accused exploited social media by monitoring hashtags like #help_@naralokesh, #help_@pawankalyan, and #help_@ncbn on Twitter to identify potential victims seeking medical and financial assistance. He used disposable US phone numbers to contact victims through WhatsApp and posed as the TDP NRI Convener. To make his scam appear real, he used AP IT minister Nara Lokesh's photograph and sent fake bank credit receipts to the victims, the media release said. He would then follow up with calls from Indian numbers, pretending to be bank managers, and convince victims to deposit money into his accounts under the pretext of (beneficiary) charges. The investigation has revealed that the accused Rajesh is facing nine cases registered under various sections of the BNS and IT Act. Some even cases in Andhra Pradesh and two in Telangana were registered last year. These were in addition to four cases registered in Telangana during 2022-2023. The amounts defrauded in the nine recent cases total `54.34 lakh, the release added. The release said the police received 1,614 complaints against him in total, of which nine have been formally registered as cases. Two additional complaints are pending registration in AP and four in Telangana, involving a fraud of `3 lakh. The cumulative amount lost by victims across all cases is estimated at `57 lakh. The arrest came after a 15-day operation by the investigation team through West Bengal, working in collaboration with the police network there. The accused was caught at Panitanki, under the jurisdiction of Kharibari police station in Darjeeling.

Centre to Use AI-Aided Tools to Curb Cyber Crime
New Delhi: The Union home ministry decided to use Artificial Intelligence and connected tools to aid the investigators to curtail rising cyber crime trends, especially against women and children. The MHA has also directed its specailised cyber wing Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) to create AI-based tools as its application will make it easier to report cyber crimes using the chat bots, which will help the victims file complaints easily, reducing the procedural complexities. The AI-supported tools will categorise the cybercrimes by identifying the patterns in the criminal activities and would be able to suggest actionable inputs to the probe agencies. The system will leverage advanced technologies such as pattern recognition and threat intelligence to proactively identify and mitigate risks. By early detection of threats, the law enforcement agencies can intervene swiftly to support victims and preempt potential crimes, the sources said. The tools will help analyse the pattern and reduce cyberspace vulnerability. This marks an important step toward enhancing the nations cyber-security framework, an official said. The ministry is also exploring a new scheme to provide financial assistance to states and Union Territories for upgrading their cybercrime prevention and mitigation capabilities and capacities. This includes enhancing cyber forensics expertise and improving investigative techniques. Recently, chairing a high level meeting with officials of the Intelligence agencies and I4C officials, the home secretary directed them to develop a central scheme to enhance the capacities of the states and UTs to tackle cybercrimes. The move comes in the backdrop of cyber criminals using a variety of techniques to dupe the common man including through the fraudulent trend of digital arrests wherein the victims are fleeced of hard earnings. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also flagged the threats from digital arrest in his recent address through the popular radio programme Mann ki Baat.
RG Kar case verdict: Doctors associations say justice not served

What a shame! Highly disappointed. This is not over yet. They tagged their post with #justicenotserved. Dr Meet Ghonia, national secretary of Ford India, said, The Young doctor was brutally raped and murdered in her hospital working space, but it was not a rarest of rare case.

Dr Rohan Krishnan, National Chairman of the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA), which was another resident doctors association that had led nationwide protests over their demand for a Central Protection Act and justice for the trainee doctor, said they are thankful to the court for the final judgment. However, he added that all those involved in this case, directly or indirectly, should be punished. We hope in the long run all those who were involved in the case will be punished. We are closely monitoring the situation. Hope sooner or later justice will be given to the doctor. IMA National President Dr Dilip Bhanushali said, The establishment and the judiciary have done their job. IMA trusts that they have looked at all aspects. IMA wouldnt want to presume that there are motives. We can wait and see if there will be an appeal in the High Court.

Centre working out framework to assist states, UT in tackling cybercrime cases
NEW DELHI: The Centre is considering working out a new framework for handholding of the state and Union Territories (UTs) in dealing with ever-increasing incidents of cybercrimes, which are posing a threat from across the globe, and also in cyber forensics, officials said on Sunday. They said, recently a high-level meeting was chaired by Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, which was attended by Director Intelligence Bureau Tapan Deka and senior officials from the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), to discuss the issue. During the deliberations at the meeting it was decided to develop a central scheme or framework to assist states and UTs in enhancing their capabilities in tackling cases of cybercrimes, the officials said. According to a senior official of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) the new framework will be worked out in which there will be provisions for the states and UTs to seek assistance from the central agencies in combating different types of cybercrimes, building capacity, raising awareness, operationalising the 1930 helpline, and handling cyber forensics. The I4C has been tasked with formulating and implementing the scheme, he added. At the meeting, chaired by the Home Secretary, action points were proposed to the I4C officials, who were given direction to take necessary measures and submit a report on the progress, the official said, adding that a set of query has since been sent to the MHA and a response is awaited to take the formulation of the framework forward. Sources in the know of the development said the MHA plans to centralise and connect all related data, making it accessible to state authorities and also help states in handling major cases with support from central agencies. Apart from training, data sharing, and enhancing platforms such as the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS), as well as I4C portals, will be prioritised. The aim is to respond more swiftly to cyber threats and crimes, as states play a crucial role in investigations, another official said. According to data, the National Cyber Crime Portal (NCRP) received over 30 lakh complaints related to cyber fraud from 2020 to February 2024. But official communications highlight that the low number of arrests in cyber fraud cases remains a significant concern. Official data relating to cybercrimes show that less than 1 percent of over 66,000 cases registered by law enforcement agencies resulted in arrests. In 2024 only about 500 arrests were made.

Karnataka ministers demand fair share of union funds; accuse Centre of injustice
BENGALURU: After Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, it was the turn of Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda to seek more funds from the Union government. After a meeting with Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Byre Gowda demanded that Karnataka be given its fair share of funds. He said injustice is being done to Karnataka when it comes to release of funds and urged the Union government to rectify the same. Why should we be denied our fair share of funds? Weve sought funds for Karnataka, which have to be rightfully given to us. This is based on the work we have done. Funds should be released without any further delay, he said. The revenue minister, however, expressed confidence that the Centre would set right the imbalance in terms of fund release. However, speaking defensively, Union minister Chauhan said the state government should first utilise the funds the Centre had already provided. The Union government would provide funds without any delay. He urged the state government to effectively utilise the funds already released and promised that additional resources would be made available. We will work on increasing the allocation for staff and the ATMA scheme, Chauhan said. On Friday, Siddaramaiah accused the Union government of betraying the state in terms of allocation of funds. Stating that there was a drastic drop in budget allocation, Siddaramaiah said Karnataka received only Rs 6,310 crore of the Rs 1,73,030 crore allocated to various states. This marks a sharp decline compared to previous years, with the states allocation falling from Rs 46,288 crore in 2018-19 to Rs 44,485 crore for 2024-25. For 2024-25, it was Rs 15,000 crore. Siddaramaiah has been raising the issue with the Union government, accusing it of meting out step-motherly treatment to Karnataka in terms of fund allocation.
