BJP government is necessary for a well-organised, educated, developed country. Madhya Pradesh BJP has a glorious tradition. Late Kushabhau Thakre dedicated every moment of his life to the party and it has received the blessings of great leaders like Late Vijayaraje Scindia and Late Sundarlal Patwa. We are all party workers and the party has promoted us on the basis of our ability and capacity, and made us MPs and MLAs. The BJP was formed out of the Jana Sangh and is currently the largest political party. Weve governments in 18 states of the country. We have the most MPs, MLAs, district panchayats, municipalities, Janpad Panchayats and gram panchayats. Today, from Panchayat to Parliament, only BJP is visible. This development and expansion of the party is the result of the hard work and virtue of eight generations of workers. Only those who remain students till the last moment, who have the zeal to learn, can bring about change. Today, we can see the acceptance of BJP from Panchayat to Parliament. The BJP government is necessary for a well-organised, educated, developed country, Shah maintained. Importantly, the three-day training camp of the ruling BJPs lawmakers from MP is being attended by 165 MLAs, 29 Lok Sabha members and seven Rajya Sabha members. It will, among other aspects, focus on guiding the lawmakers on how to communicate in public and use social media prudently. Also, the new entrants in the party will be apprised of the partys culture and history. A similar camp had been held ahead of the 2023 assembly elections. The camp assumes particular significance as it will focus on guiding the partys lawmakers to stick to the party line, while making public statements.

NIA raids multiple locations in MP, Rajasthan in Hizb-ut-Tahrir terror conspiracy probe
NEW DELHI: The anti-terror federal probe agency NIA on Saturday conducted extensive searches at multiple locations in Madhya Pradeshs Bhopal and Rajasthans Jhalawar in a terror conspiracy case linked to the banned organisation, Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HuT), officials said. Three locations were extensively searched in Bhopal and two in Jhalawar as part of the agencys continuing probe into the activities of HuT and its members in the terror conspiracy case, a spokesperson in the NIA said. The officials said, the raiding teams have seized digital devices during the searches and those are being sent for forensic analysis. The case is part of the NIAs efforts to destroy various terrorist and radical networks and outfits trying to spread mayhem across the country, and the present case against HuT is related to the alleged conspiracy of radicalising and recruiting vulnerable Muslim youth. The youth were being motivated to spread violence in a bid to overthrow Indias democratically elected government and establish an Islamic State governed by Shariah law, the spokesperson alleged, adding that the investigation is ongoing. India last year designated Hizb-ut-Tahrir and all its fronts as errorist organisations under Section 35 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. The government, while banning the outfit, had claimed that HuT aimed to establish an Islamic state and Caliphate globally, including in India, by overthrowing democratically elected governments through jihad and terrorist activities. The HuT was involved in radicalisation and motivation of gullible youth to join terrorist organisations, such as ISIS and raising funds for terror activities, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) had then said. HuT, founded in 1953 in Jerusalem, is a global pan-Islamic Salafi movement. Its Palestinian branch includes hundreds of members in the West Bank. Their organisation has recently been limited to activities of supporters among students in universities. It views Jihad as an essential aspect of its vision and considers it an imperative duty aimed at combating disbelief until all submit to Islamic rule, the officials said.

On a rain-hit day, left-arm spinner Kumar Kartikeya produced a match-defining spell to help his team secure their first win of the season.

Despite the flurry of runs, Bundelkhand found some positives in their young bowler Priyanshu Mishra, who impressed with figures of 3/18 in his two overs. He accounted for all three wickets to fall in the innings. Chasing 88 for victory, Bundelkhand Bulls were under pressure from the start and failed to get into any sort of rhythm. Wickets tumbled at regular intervals, with Rewa maintaining tight lines and applying pressure throughout. It was the experienced Kumar Kartikeya who led the bowling attack and returned with exceptional figures of 3/12 in his two overs. He broke the back of the chase with his variations and control, never allowing the batters to settle. He was well supported by the rest of the Rewa bowling unit as Bundelkhand struggled to gain momentum.

Vijayvargiya has been quoted as having repeatedly commented on womens sartorial choices, with statements including, It is said there (abroad) that just as a girl wearing less clothing is beautiful, similarly a leader giving a short speech is also very good. There is such a saying in foreign countries, but I do not follow it. and I do not like (women) wearing less clothes. Many a time, girls come to take selfies with me. I tell them they should come by wearing good clothes and then get a selfie clicked with me. The remarks appear to have been well-received at the event, inspiring laughter among the audience. Vijayvargiyas statement probably refers to a quote attributed to former UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill: A good speech should be like a womans skirt; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest. The original quote is severely objectifying in and of itself; its reference here in contemporary India, even in the form of a rebuttal in form though not in spirit, is equally problematic. What are good clothes? Some definition of this exists across Indian families, educational institutes, workplaces, public spaces, online interfaces and just about every imaginable zone, tangible or otherwise. While men are judged on appearance too, along the lines of caste, class, and gender nonconformity, for women, the gaze rarely stops at judgment. Controlling a womans wardrobe is one of many common, classic ways to reinforce power over her. When people in power do so even through what appear to be flippant jokes the effect can be pervasively oppressive. Style is many things: expression, armour or invitation among them, certainly, but if anyone can be attributed agency, it is the wearer who decides what an outfit is meant to convey. Beholders have the prerogative of averting their gaze, if they prefer. But the concept that clothing is about the wearer, and not the beholder, is one that holds very little sway in the Indian context. Here, to choose what to wear can itself be an act of defiance, and be weaponised against the wearer too. It must also be said: Vijayvargiya chose to use a completely unrelated event to sermonise on policing womens apparel, which in any situation would be inappropriate, but also specifically detracted from the messaging of World Environment Day. Amid this debacle, I wonder how the tree planting went. I wish a tree could be planted every time anyone in this country said something sexist, but Id settle for a tree being planted every time a politician or judge said something sexist instead. Reforestation in India would be swift and grand as a result, no doubt. Protecting the environment is a worthy cause, perhaps the worthiest of all for all life depends on it one we cannot lose sight of even as we fight other battles.

Congress expels Digvijaya Singhs brother Laxman Singh for six years over anti-party activities
BHOPAL: Regularly embarrassing the grand old party with his public utterances over the last few years, former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Digvijaya Singhs ex-MP and former MLA brother Laxman Singh finally got the axe from the Congress on Wednesday. He (Laxman Singh) has been expelled from the partys primary membership for six years with immediate effect by the partys national president, due to his anti-party activities, said an AICC official statement signed by member secretary of the partys disciplinary committee Tariq Anwar on Wednesday. While Singh (the five-times former MP from Rajgarh seat of central MP and one-time Congress MLA from Chachauda seat of Guna district) has repeatedly been embarrassing the party with his controversial public utterances, what has prompted the party to act against him, is his April 25 statement. On April 25, Singh had made controversial statements about the party's former president and current leader of the opposition Rahul Gandhi, Gandhis brother-in-law, Robert Vadra and the Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah. The ex-MP had said in his hometown Raghogarh (Guna), Rahul Gandhis brother-in-law's childish statement, how long will we tolerate it. Even Rahul Ji (Rahul Gandhi) needs to speak thoughtfully now, as he is the leader of opposition. Their nadaniyaan (foolishness) too are responsible for such statements. Attacking the Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah over the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, Singh had said, Those in power in J&K right now and have also run the government in the past are to be squarely blamed. Whoever has been in power there (J&K) has taken the support of elements who carried out the recent attack just to run the government. While Omar Abdullah is the current CM, his father too has been the J&K CM multiple times in the past. The J&K CM Omar Abdullah is hand in gloves with the terrorists. Ive already written to the Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge and also appealed to the LoP in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi to withdraw support from the National Conference government. Let the J&K government fall, it should be dismissed, Singh had added. Singh had further said, Im not afraid of making the candid statements, if the party (Congress) wants, it can oust me, but Ill continue to speak candidly. But the April 25 utterances werent the first time that Singh caused embarrassment to the Congress with his public statements. He has debunked his own brother Digvijaya Singhs continued opposition to EVMs in elections. In December 2023, he had questioned Rahul Gandhis leadership, saying that he wasnt a big leader as is portrayed by the media, but was merely an MP like any other MP. In September 2019, while a Congress government was in power in MP, Singh who was then a first-time Congress MLA from Chachoura (Guna) had gone against the party's official line, by supporting the abrogation of Article 370 by the Narendra Modi government. Just a month later, he had again caused embarrassment to the party by saying that Rahul Gandhi should apologize to the people of MP, for failing to fulfil the promise of waiving off outstanding loans of farmers within ten days of coming to power in the state. The same month in 2019, he had led a protest outside his MP brother Digvijaya Singhs house in Bhopal, in support of his demand to elevate his constituency Chachauda into a full-fledged district. Singh is five times former MP from Rajgarh seat of MP. While he won the seat four times (1994 to 1999) as Congress candidate, in 2004 elections he retained it as BJP nominee. In 2018, he won the Chachauda assembly seat of his home district Guna as Congress candidate by defeating sitting BJP MLA Mamta Meena, but lost to first time BJP nominee Priyanka Penchi in 2023. Importantly, during his day-long visit to Bhopal on June 3, the leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi had stated that some leaders in the party were working for the BJP. Congress has no dearth of talent who can defeat the BJP, but their hands are tied, particularly as their voices arent heard properly in the party organization. Weve the army to fight and die for the Congresss cause. But some leaders keep on making irresponsible utterances. Some speak out of frustration, while some other elements do it as they are also working for the BJP, Gandhi had said while launching the Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan for rebuilding the partys organization in the BJP-ruled state on June 3.
Madhya Pradesh minister Kailash Vijayvargiya stressed the importance of instilling 'sanskar' (culture) in children, cautioning against them becoming like Sonam, the prime accused in the Meghalaya honeymoon murder case.

The special investigation team sought police custody of the accused to reconstruct the crime scene in Sohra, the officer said. The SIT has secured a six-day remand for the accused persons from Indore and that of three days for one arrested from Ghazipur, he added. Meghalaya honeymoon murder: Sonam's brother supports Raja Raghuvanshi's family; to fight to get them justice Raja Raghuvanshi and his wife went missing while vacationing in Meghalaya's Sohra area on May 23. His body was found in a gorge on June 2. Earlier in the day, Sonam was taken to a hospital here where they ran three tests to verify if she was pregnant while medical tests on the other accused were conducted at the Sadar PS here. Syiem said all tests came out negative and another round of tests on her will be conducted after 24 hours. The SP said that the SIT will thoroughly interrogate each of the five accused. Requesting media outlets not to speculate, the SP said the police investigation also includes corroboration of their statements with all evidence including CCTV footage, call records, etc. Once the examination is done and the statements are recorded, the SIT will decide on a date to reconstruct the crime scene, he said.

Speaking ahead of the season opener, Madhav Singhania, CEO of JK Cement, outlined the teams clear and future-focused vision. We do believe that our contribution as a team will also benefit the league and Rajat Patidar is definitely a great personality and a profile for us to showcase the leadership that the team has as well as a lot of inspiration that we can create for Gwalior as well as Madhya Pradesh. Over one year of its existence, the MPL T20 has proven that with good governance, organization and vision, even a regional initiative can have a national as well as global impact. The results are to be seen in terms of the increase of number of players from last year to now who are playing in the IPL as well as the other leagues across the country.

He will play a crucial role in guiding the young talents in our team and anchoring our bowling attack, Kirar added.

IMD issues health advisory as Heatwave grips North India; relief likely after three days
NEW DELHI: Northwest and Central India are expected to experience severe heatwave conditions, with temperatures reaching around 45C over the next three days. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued red and orange alerts for the region, advising residents to take precautions against extreme daytime heat and warmer-than-usual nights. According to the IMD, heatwave conditions will persist in Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and North Madhya Pradesh until June 16. Additionally, hot and humid weather is likely to continue in Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, Gangetic West Bengal, Bihar, and Odisha until June 11. Isolated areas of Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan can expect warm night conditions until June 12. The IMD has noted that maximum temperatures across many areas of Northwest India have ranged between 43-47C in recent days. On 10 June, the highest maximum temperature was recorded at Bhatinda, Punjab at 47.6C, followed by 47.4C at Ganganagar. Other high readings included 46.3C in Kota and parts of Delhi (Lodi Road, Ridge, Ayanagar), with Ayanagar reporting a high of 45.5C. Sirsa in Haryana recorded 46.2C. In its health advisory, the IMD highlighted a high risk of heat illness and heat stroke across all age groups in Rajasthan and adjoining areas. In Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and Himachal Pradesh, under orange alert, people exposed to the sun for prolonged periods or engaged in heavy work are especially vulnerable. According to the Heat Risk Index published by CEEW, Delhi ranks among the top 10 most vulnerable states and union territories, with 55% of its districts falling in the very high-risk category and the rest in the high-risk category. Dr Vishwas Chitale, Senior Programme Lead at CEEW, noted that the combination of heat and humidity can result in felt temperatures 35C higher than dry heat. In Delhi, six additional warm nights per summer have been observed in the past decade, which further increases heat vulnerability, he added. The southwest monsoon, which arrived eight days early before its usual date of 1 June, paused for two weeks due to the intrusion of dry westerly winds, disrupting its rapid progress. The latest IMD forecast suggests that the monsoon will reactivate in the coming days over the southern peninsula and western India. Extremely heavy rainfall is predicted on 1314 June, followed by further advancement of monsoon winds into eastern India.
West Bengal at bottom of performance on solid waste management
NEW DELHI: West Bengal has recorded the lowest performance in solid waste processing under the Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban, with just eight percent of its daily waste being treated. The states progress has dropped by two percent in four years. It was treating 10 percent of the garbage produced each day in 2021, when the second edition of the mission was launched. According to data available on the SBM-U dashboard, solid waste processing in Nagaland and Mizoram are still in their infancy. Nagaland is processing just one percent of its daily waste while the latters performance is nil. The dashboard states West Bengal generates 7,875.55 tonnes per day (TPD) of solid waste daily but processes only 588.65 TDP. This slow pace of progress was recently flagged during a review meeting held by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), which expressed concern over the states inability to scale up its solid waste treatment capacity. There is decline in door-to-door garbage collection. In 2021, 100 percent door-to-door collection was reported in 2,527 out of 2,939 municipal wards. However, the latest figures show a drop, with 2,317 out of 3,008 wards currently reporting full coverage. Arunachal Pradesh and Bihar have also reported poor waste processing rates. The latest figures show that Arunachal Pradesh generates 177.78 TPD and processes just 22 percent of it. In 2021, the state was treating 25 percent of the total waste generated on a daily basis. Bihar, with a daily generation of 6,638.19 TPD, processes only 32 percent. No immediate response on performance of states from the ministry was available. In contrast, several states and union territories have achieved remarkable success. Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Chandigarh, Daman & Diu and Dadra & Nagar Haveli have reported 100 percent daily processing of solid waste.

MP exam fraud: Kingpin Amitabh Rawat's inter-state racket exposed
BHOPAL: One of the prime kingpins of the recently busted Madhya Pradesh Police Constable Recruitment Exam 2023 Aadhaar-manipulated multiple impersonation racket wasnt new to the world of government recruitment examination frauds. Carrying a Rs 10,000 bounty on his arrest announced by northern MPs Sheopur district police, government school teacher-turned-alleged exam fraudster Amitabh Rawat has been accused in the past as well in cases about examination frauds, not just in his home state of Madhya Pradesh, but also in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh. Rawat, whose wife is an elected village sarpanch in the native Morena district of MPs Gwalior-Chambal region, was last arrested in February 2024 from Jhansi by the UP STF and Jhansi Police in connection with the alleged leak of the UP Police Constable Recruitment Exam 2024. But it wasnt the first time that Rawat was arrested by any state police in connection with an alleged examination-related fraud case. Back in 2017, he was arrested in his native MP in connection with the multi-layered Vyapam scam case for arranging proxy candidates or solvers to take government recruitment exams in place of actual beneficiaries. After being lodged in a jail in Gwalior district until 2020, he was granted bail by the MP High Court. According to sources investigating the recently busted MP Police Constable Recruitment Aadhaar-manipulated impersonation racket, Rawat is believed to have been involved in frauds across several recruitment examinations in Madhya Pradesh using various cheating methods, including proxy candidates, bypassing biometric tests, paper leaks and screen sharing (in online exams), the official said. According to sources part of the ongoing probe, the 48-year-old Rawat allegedly headed one of three inter-state rackets that were engaged in the fraud in the 2023 MP Police Recruitment Exams written test. The other two rackets were headed by Morena district-based Shyam Rawat and Ashok Gurjar. Just like Amitabh Rawat, his caste man Shyam Rawat is also absconding and carries a similar Rs 10,000 reward on his arrest. All three rackets arranged solvers (proxy candidates) from Bihar and MP to take the written exam, which was held in 2023 on different dates across MP, in place of the actual candidates. This was done by replacing the picture and biometric (fingerprint) data in the actual candidates Aadhaar ID with the picture and fingerprints of the solver just before the written exam. The three rackets had links with dedicated Aadhaar ID manipulation operatives, who used login IDs and passwords of Aadhaar centres in MP, Delhi and UP, and controlled them remotely using desktop applications like AnyDesk. Two of the masterminds who worked with multiple Aadhaar centres in MP and outside included Surendra Kushwah who worked as the Aadhaar ID facilitator for the Amitabh Rawat-led racket and Kanhaiya Dhakad, who performed the same role for Shyam Rawats racket. While Surendra Kushwah (who has already been arrested) used login IDs and passwords of registered and authorised Aadhaar ID centres in Chhatarpur, Narsinghpur and other districts of MP, as well as Delhi, Kanhaiya Dhakad, who worked with Shyam Rawats racket, used the login credentials of Aadhaar centres particularly in the Gwalior-Chambal region of MP, especially Shivpuri district. Dhakad, who hails from MPs Shivpuri district, along with his family members, operated an Aadhaar registration and updating kiosk in Shivpuri between 2011 and 2023, and knew every nut and bolt related to Aadhaar IDs. After 2023, he began using login IDs and passwords of other registered Aadhaar registration centres in MP to assist the recruitment exam impersonation rackets, particularly the one headed by Amitabh Rawat. Dhakad, like the racketeer Amitabh Rawat, carried a reward of Rs 10,000 on arrest. He was arrested on Monday, making him the 12th man to be arrested in three cases of the MP Police Constable 2023 Recruitment Exam fraud. Were hopeful that his questioning in the coming days will lead to big disclosures, Sheopur district police superintendent Virendra Jain told TNIE on Tuesday. As per sources connected with the ongoing investigations, Amitabh Rawats racket, by working with Dhakad and aides, might have managed to get more than 50 candidates to pass the 2023 MP Police Constable Recruitment written exam and qualify for the physical proficiency test (PPT) conducted in 2024. In return, Rawat charged sums ranging from Rs 10-15 lakh from each candidate. The solvers who appeared in the written exam in place of actual candidates received Rs 1 to Rs 4 lakh per selected candidate, while Aadhaar manipulators like Dhakad received between Rs 10,000 to Rs 25,000 per candidate. So far, more than 20 cases have been registered in around ten districts of MP in connection with the Constable Recruitment Exam fraud, and over 25 individuals including actual beneficiary candidates, solvers, and Aadhaar centre operators have been arrested.

RTI: 10 Karnataka institutes not paying stipends to med interns, NMC silent
NEW DELHI: Even as the National Medical Commission (NMC) continues to ignore the issue of medical colleges not paying stipends to their interns, states like Karnataka, Maharashtra, West Bengal, and Gujarat top the list of having the most institutes out of the 60 in the country that are not paying any compensation, a series of RTIs have revealed. Although 60 medical colleges - 33 government institutes and 27 private colleges - do not pay stipends, another 50 pay nominal stipends of less than Rs 5,000, some even Rs 2,000. An RTI filed by Dr K.V. Babu has shown that as many as 10 of the 60 institutes not paying stipends are in Karnataka, which includes six government and four private medical colleges. Karnataka is followed by Gujarat (three government and four private medical colleges), Maharashtra (six government and one private college), and West Bengal (six government and one private college). Telangana is not paying stipends in three private and two government colleges. Others are Andhra Pradesh (four government institutes), UP (three government colleges), Tamil Nadu (three private colleges), Assam (two government colleges), Madhya Pradesh (two private colleges), and Delhi (two private colleges), as per an RTI reply, dated April 29. The response was to an RTI filed by Dr Babu, who has been pursuing the issue since last year, and had sought the names of medical colleges not paying stipends to their interns. The Kerala-based RTI activist filed another RTI on April 2 seeking NMCs stand against such medical colleges, and was informed that NMC is the regulatory body which issues guidelines, regulations from time to time. PMO directs Union Health Ministry to address non-payment of stipends to medical college interns, residents The implementation of the guidelines is solely at the discretion of the state authorities concerned under which the medical college/institute is located, the RTI reply said. Dr Babu said, The position taken by NMC is absurd. Are they expecting the director of medical education or state medical councils to act against the governments for nonpayment of stipends in 33 government medical colleges? If so, under which law? If it is not the responsibility of the NMC to enforce their regulations regarding stipends of UGs and PGs, then why did they issue a show cause notice on November 28, 2024? Their documents show more than 110 medical colleges are not paying stipulated stipends, Dr Babu, an ophthalmologist, added. He further said that NMC has the power and responsibility to take action against medical colleges that dont comply with the regulations under the MSME regulations 2023. As per the Maintenance of Standards of Medical Education Regulations (MSME) regulations, 2023, which were gazetted on September 23, if any regulation, including non-payment of stipends to interns and postgraduate students, is violated, several steps can be taken against the erring medical college and institution.
Zero marks: Modi government surviving on publicity, says Siddaramaiah
MYSURU: As the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre completes 11 years in office, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah gave it zero marks. Speaking to media in Mysuru on Monday, the CM said that the NDA government has merely survived on publicity and came to power on false promises. He criticised the state BJP leaders for the injustice done to Karnataka by the Modi Government. What happened to his promise to bring back black money? Who benefited from demonetisation? What happened to the Ache Din Ayega promise to create 2 crore jobs? What about eradication of poverty? Siddaramaiah said. The CM said that the Centre had promised that farmers income will be doubled and their problems addressed. But then why did farmers stage a year-long protest if their demands were met? he asked. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his party have managed to get wider publicity from the media when their achievements and their performance have been zero in 11 years, Siddaramaih said. Recalling that Modi, as Gujarat CM, had demanded devolution of 50% taxes, Siddaramaiah said, What did he (Modi) do after he became the PM? He alleged that the media had not highlighted this. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman promised to give Rs 5,300 crore, did they give it? The 15th Pay Commission recommended Rs 11,495 crore for the state, was that given? he said. The BJP leaders should stop making baseless allegations against the State Government and see that the Centres releases funds to Karnataka, the CM said. Siddaramaiah said that theCentre that campaigned that the guarantee schemes can not be implemented in Karnataka has copied the same in Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan and Maharashtra.

Gold jewellery, no return ticket: Honeymoon plot that led to Raja Raghuvanshi's murder in Meghalaya
BHOPAL: A six-hour late-night telephone conversation between Sonam Raghuvanshi and her firms employee, and alleged lover, Raj Singh Kushwah, her hurry to finalize a honeymoon trip to Meghalaya, and her insistence that husband Raja Raghuvanshi wear a gold chain and rings during the trip might have led investigators to zero in on Sonam and Raj as key suspects in Raja Raghuvanshis killing. A ten-hour joint operation by the Meghalaya police and their Madhya Pradesh counterparts in Indore led to the arrest of 21-year-old Raj Singh Kushwah and his two accomplices on Sunday. The operation began with the arrest of 19-year-old Akash Rajput from Lalitpur district, who was brought to Indore late Sunday evening. Subsequently, prime suspect Raj Singh Kushwah and another key accomplice, 22-year-old Vishal Chauhan, were arrested in the Nandbag area of Indore. Rajs third accomplice, 23-year-old Anand Kurmi, who joined Vishal and Akash in allegedly killing Raja Raghuvanshi in Meghalaya on June 23 , was arrested a few hours later, around 11:30am on Monday, at his relatives house in Sagar district of MPs Bundelkhand region. Importantly, within an hour of Raj Singh Kushwahs arrest in Indore, Sonam Raghuvanshi surfaced after mysteriously disappearing for two weeks at Ghazipur district. Regarding the case, ADCP-Crime Rajesh Dandotiya of the Indore police said, The criminal case is registered in Meghalaya, so the entire operation was planned based on their inputs. We only assisted as local police. All other aspects related to the suspects and their roles will be made public by the Meghalaya police after they question the suspects. The Meghalaya police are taking the arrested four on transit remand to the northeastern state. The Possible Clues Sources say Sonam had a long telephonic chat between 9pm and 3am with her firms employee Raj Singh Kushwah on the night of May 1617. On May 17, Raj Singh met his old friends, Akash, Vishal, and Anand, all from Indores Nandbag area at a caf in the Super Corridor, where the murder plot may have been hatched. A few days later, Sonam planned a honeymoon to Assam and Meghalaya and booked flight tickets for herself and Raja, without booking return tickets. Raja was reportedly reluctant to travel just ten days after marriage; Sonam insisted and arranged everything. She also forced him to wear gold jewelry on the trip, which Rajas sistersinlaw say their mother opposed when Raja informed her via video call on May 20. Sonam told police that on their trip to Meghalaya some men attacked them to loot jewellery; when Raja tried to intervene, they killed him. Police suspect that Sonams insistence on gold jewelry and the lack of return tickets might have been part of a staged robberycummurder plot. Investigators are also investigating whether Sonam withdrew a large sum of money after the wedding and before the trip. Evidence shows Sonam and Raj Singh were in constant contact, using separate SIM cards even during the trip. Ongoing investigations reveal that while Raj Singh stayed behind in Indore, his three childhood friends, Akash, Vishal, and Anand traveled to Guwahati via premium train through Delhi. They met Sonam and Raja in Shillong as tourists and accompanied them to Meghalaya on May 23, where Raja was allegedly killed according to the plot devised by Raj. The trio then returned to Indore and resumed daily life. Investigators suspect Sonam may have had an affair with Raj, which could have been a motive behind Rajas murder. Families Weigh In Sonams father, Devi Singh Raghuvanshi, strongly rejects the Meghalaya police narrative. He said, This entire false story is concocted due to their failure to investigate. We demand a CBI probe. Ill send a legal notice for tarnishing my daughters image. She is totally innocent. Meanwhile, Rajas mother, Uma Raghuvanshi said, Raja didnt want to go to Meghalaya. It was Sonam who planned and booked the trip without return tickets. She forced him to wear a gold chain, and I objected when Raja told me mid-trip. I even spoke to Sonams mother. Sonam was sweet and cultured; I treated her as my daughter. I wanted the marriage to wait a year for a good muhurat, but her father rushed it. If Sonam didnt want to be with my son, she could have left, but why did he have to die? If shes behind his killing, she should get the death penalty.
Supreme Court grants interim protection from arrest to MP Journalist alleging police assault
The Supreme Court on Monday directed two Madhya Pradesh-based journalists, who have accused the Bhind superintendent of police and other officers of custodial assault and harassment, to approach the Madhya Pradesh High Court for relief. The court granted them interim protection from arrest for two weeks to allow time to file their plea. A bench comprising Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Manmohan told the petitionersShashikant Jatav and Amarkant Singh Chouhanthat it was not inclined to entertain their plea under Article 32 of the Constitution. However, noting the gravity of the allegations, the bench permitted them to seek remedy before the High Court. We are not entertaining the plea. However, looking at the allegations, we permit the petitioners to move the concerned high court within two weeks from today. Till the time the petitioners move high court the petitioners shall not be arrested, Justice Mishra said. The journalists have alleged that they were targeted by police due to their reporting on alleged corruption related to sand mining. In their plea, they sought protection from coercive action by the MP Police and claimed they feared for their lives. The petition also accused a senior police officer and his subordinates of kidnapping, custodial assault, and using casteist slurs against them. The bench previously questioned why the Bhind superintendent of police had not been made a party to the petition. It is very easy to say all kinds of things against an IPS officer without making him a party. Whatever comes to your mind, just put it in black and white against the IPS officer, the bench remarked. The court also asked why the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi were named as respondents. The counsel for the journalists said the NHRC had been included because a complaint had been filed there, but agreed to remove it from the petition. On the inclusion of NCT of Delhi, it was submitted that both petitioners are currently residing in the national capital. Meanwhile, on May 28, the Delhi High Court had granted Chouhan interim protection for two months after he claimed that the Bhind SP had threatened him following an alleged assault in his office. The Supreme Court has listed the matter for further hearing on June 9.

How Aadhaar fudging aided Madhya Pradesh cop recruitment scam
BHOPAL: Paliganj town 50 km from the Bihar capital is in news nearly a thousand km away in Madhya Pradesh, thanks to one of its government school teachers, who has emerged as the key solver of an inter-state Aadhaar ID manipulation-enabled examination racket, which helped candidates from the Gwalior-Chambal region crack the 2023 MP Police Constable Recruitment Exam. Ranjan Kumar Gupta, a school teacher from Paliganj appeared in place of ten candidates, including one of the merit holders of the exam who secured 87 out of 100 marks. Besides Gupta, who is now in police custody in MPs Sheopur district, at least five more solvers from the same eastern state also appeared through the same modus operandi for dozens of other candidates in MP, in return for Rs 1 lakh to Rs 4 lakh subject to passing of the candidate. Another solver from Bihars Gaya district, Amrendra Singh Bahubali appeared for eight candidates, for Rs 1 lakh each. He is now in police custody in Alirajpur district, following the arrest of Ramrup Gurjar, the candidate from MPs Gwalior-Chambal region who managed to clear the written test by making Amrendra appear in his place and subsequently cracked the 2024 physical proficiency test on his own, to finally be selected for the constables job. The solvers from Bihar travelled between Patna and MP by air on tickets booked by the examinations main rackets mastermind Amitabh Rawat and aides in Gwalior-Chambal region. They were comforted in big hotels and travelled to examination centres across MP in snazzy cars. The racket mastermind and aides also took special care of the fun and frolic demanded by the solvers from Bihar during their stay in MP , a police officer forming a key part of the ongoing probe told this newspaper. Eyeing to earn big (around `40 lakh after appearing for ten candidates) Ranjan now feels cheated by the mastermind of the racket Morena district-based Amitabh Rawat who is also a school teacher, and a village sarpanchs husband. Carrying a Rs 10,000 reward on his arrest, Rawat, who is now on the run, made Ranjan appear for ten candidates, but paid him just Rs 4 lakh. Ranjan, however, is confident that he wouldnt have failed in getting less than 6-7 candidates pass the 2023 written test to qualify for the 2024 physical proficiency test. The candidates for whom he appeared, included at least three close relatives of the rackets mastermind Amitabh Rawat. Just like us, Ranjan too is keenly awaiting Rawats arrest, but for different reasons, the police officer confided. While Rawat , who is a Meena caste strongman in Morena, ran the biggest racket, smaller rackets run by some other caste strongmen (including Thakurs and Gurjars) were also active in other districts of the same northern MP region.
