Notwithstanding the severity of the prevalence rate of the contagious disease, she said that Mizoram has started to see some positive trends, with a decline in new infections and a significant reduction in HIV-related fatalities.

The MLAs who attended the meeting, asserting their commitment to strengthening the fight against HIV/AIDS, agreed to allocate Rs 50, 000 each from their MLA local area funds for 2024-2025.

2025.2.25 Two women arrested for trying to dispose of headless body in Ganges
KOLKATA: Two women were arrested on the banks of the Ganges in Kolkata’s Kumartuli early Tuesday as they were trying to dispose of a trolley bag carrying the headless and chopped body of a woman in the river.
The two women, mother and daughter, were identified as Falguni Ghosh and Aarati Ghosh.
The woman, whose chopped and headless body had been recovered from within the trolley bag, is reportedly that of Sumita Ghosh, an elderly relative of the two arrested women.
The arrested women are reportedly residents of Barasat in North 24 Parganas districts. An insider from the city police said they arrived at the Sealdah station from there by an early morning local train with that trolley bag and hired a cab to move around the city.
As per the version of the driver of the cab, the two women first went to Princep Ghat, a concrete-structured bank of the Ganges in Kolkata. However, as per the version of the cab driver, after loitering around at that crowded place for some time, the two women asked the cab driver to take them to a different ghat.
City police sources said the two women then reached Kumartuli Ghat, a similar concrete-structured bank of the Ganges. There, the two women brought out the trolley bag from within the cab and started to drag it near the edge of the concrete-structured bank.
The morning walkers loitering in the area, suspicious of the effort with which the two women were dragging the trolley bag, apprehended them. In the face of questioning by the morning walkers, the women first said that the trolley bag was carrying the body of their pet dog.
On being suspicious, the morning walkers prevented them from disposing of the trolley bag and also informed the local police station. The cops on arrival at the spot recovered the body of the headless body of the woman chopped into four pieces
The cops are carrying out further investigation into the matter to track the motive of the macabre crime.

2025.2.20 Serial rapist, acquitted on technical grounds, now held for raping speech and hearing impaired minor girl in M.P.

A case was registered at Narsinghgarh police station under multiple charges of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

A convicted serial-rapist, now accused of raping a 11-year-old speech and hearing impaired girl in Madhya Pradesh’s Rajgarh district, was arrested on February 19 (Wednesday) by the State Police in a joint operation with the Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh police forces, officers said.

According to the Rajgarh Police, accused Ramesh Khati, 40, a resident of Shajapur district’s Avantipur Badodia area, had raped the minor girl, who was also dealing with a mental illness, on the intervening night of February 1 and 2 in Narsinghgarh town. The girl was found in the bushes the next morning with multiple injuries on her body and a medical examination confirmed the rape.

The girl, however, succumbed to injuries on February 8 during treatment at Bhopal’s Hamidia Hospital. The girl, whose parents had already passed away, lived with her 80-year-old grandmother and aunt.

A case was registered at Narsinghgarh police station under multiple charges of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

Narsinghgarh sub-divisional police officer Upendra Bhati told The Hindu that Khati was nabbed around 2.40 a.m. on February 19 near Rajgarh’s Bhojpur village after he got down from a train near the M.P.-Rajasthan boundary.

“The train was constantly being tracked from Jaipur as we had credible inputs that he had boarded the train from there. He deboarded the train near the State boundary and was on the run when we nabbed him,” he said, adding that he was presented before a court and has been sent to police remand.

The accused, a repeat offender, was convicted first time in 2003 for raping a five-year-old girl in his home district’s Mubarikpur village and sentenced for 10 years.

After being released from jail in 2013, he again went on to kidnapping and raping an eight-year-old girl in 2014 in Sehore district’s Ashta, and was given capital punishment.

However, in March 2016, the Madhya Pradesh High Court revoked his punishment on technical grounds and acquitted him.

After walking free in 2016, the Rajgarh Police, in an official statement, said that Khati was also booked in a case under the Arms Act in 2022.

The Rajgarh Police said that the accused was nabbed after a 16-day-long chase involving 16 police teams of the three States, searches in nine districts by raiding several places and 17 railway stations such as Jaipur, Prayagraj, Ujjain, Ratlam, Neemuch, Shajapur, Bhopal, Vidisha, Sehore and various small stations.

The police also scanned through more than 400 hours of CCTV footages and questioned 418 people to identify and locate him.

Mr. Bhati said that Khati had been tracked in Prayagraj where he had gone to take a dip during the Maha Kumbh.

“He had been constantly changing his location and we were hoping that he does not go to Prayagraj,” he said, adding that given the current crowd in Prayagraj it was “quite challenging” to track him there.

From Prayagraj, he went to Jaipur where he was caught in a CCTV footage for about one second.

“Our biggest challenge was that he was not using a mobile phone. So, we were tracking where some of his family members and friends were getting calls from,” Mr. Bhati said, adding, “But he made some mistakes like calling someone from different numbers from the same area and gave us clues.”

Mr. Bhati said that he was finally nabbed while trying to reach his village after he got down from the train hoping to enter his village.

“He took a train on Jaipur-Kota route which is not the usual route taken to reach his village. He was probably trying to get to his village via a different route,” he said.

Mr. Bhati also said that the girl’s family did not report the matter to the police and it was only on February 3 when someone in their neighbourhood saw her condition and alerted the local police.

“Despite her injuries and bleeding, the family neither alerted the police nor took her to the hospital for 40 hours,” he added.

2025.2.16 Delhi cops say similar train names caused confusion, led to deadly stampede

The Delhi Police said that two trains – Prayagraj Express and Prayagraj Special, and the announcement of the latter arriving at platform 16 caused confusion. This is because Prayagraj Express was already standing at platform 14.

The Delhi Police said two trains having a similar name of ‘Prayagraj’ and the announcement of one of them arriving at platform 16 at the New Delhi railway station led to confusion which later caused a stampede killing 18 people. Police said the announcement of Prayagraj Special arriving at platform 16 led to confusion among people as another train with a similar name, Prayagraj Express, was already at platform 14.

Passengers who couldn’t reach their train at platform 14 thought it was arriving at platform 16. The last-minute panic and movement of the people burdened with heavy luggage from one platform to another led to the stampede, police said.

Additionally, there were four trains heading to Prayagraj, out of which three were delayed, leading to an unprecedented crowding from Platforms 12 to 16, according to the Delhi Police.
The Delhi Police’s statement came after the Northern Railways said no platforms were changed, and a passenger fell on the footover bridge between platforms 14 and 15, causing others behind him to stumble, leading to the tragic incident.

PLACEMENT OF TRAINS WHEN STAMPEDE HAPPENED
Platform 14: Prayagraj Express 2418 (Scheduled for departure at 10.10 pm)
Platform 12: Magadh Express (Runs via Kumbh) (Was slightly delayed)
Platform 13: Swatantrata Senani (Runs via Kumbh) (Delay)
Platform 15: Bhubaneswar Rajdhani (Runs via Kumbh) (Delay)

NORTHERN RAILWAYS REACTS
Himanshu Shekhar Upadhyay, the Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) of Northern Railways, disputed the police’s version of the stampede, asserting that a passenger slipped on the foot over bridge over Platforms 14 and 15, following which others behind him fell, triggering the tragic incident.

Calling it a “normal rush”, Upadhyay said no trains were cancelled and the timings of them were not changed. He clarified that additional special trains to cater to the burgeoning crowd of Maha Kumbh devotees were run and that no platforms were changed.

He asserted that the situation was under control and train operations were running smoothly.

STAMPEDE AT NEW DELHI STATION
On Saturday, 18 people died and dozens of others were injured in a stampede triggered by a sudden rush of passengers heading towards Prayagraj for the Maha Kumbh Mela. Those who died comprised nine women, five children and four men. As per information, the eldest victim was 79 years old, while the youngest was a seven-year-old girl.

According to an inquiry report, hundreds of passengers were waiting on Platform 14 of the New Delhi railway station to board a train for Prayagraj. A large number of travellers also gathered at the adjacent Platform 13 to board the Swatantrata Senani Express, which runs from New Delhi to Darbhanga.

However, the Swatantrata Senani Express was delayed and rescheduled to depart at midnight, due to which the passengers remained on the platform.

As a result of the additional ticket sales, the number of travellers started to increase on Platform 14, leading to overcrowding, with hardly any empty space for people to even stand on, the report said.

On Sunday, Delhi Police said it would launch a probe into the stampede and said it would analyse CCTV footage to ascertain what exactly happened before the tragedy unfolded.

The Railways announced a Rs 10 lakh compensation for families of the victims; Rs 2.5 lakh for the seriously injured; and Rs 1 lakh for those with minor injuries.

The JDU leader alleged that he was taken to the MLA’s residence, where he was brutally beaten with motorcycle rods and sticks. When he asked for water, he was allegedly forced to drink urine.
A complaint has been filed against a RJD MLA in Bihar’s Purnea district in connection with a kidnapping and assault incident.
The case involves JDU’s Baisi block vice president, Mohd Rehan Fazal, who has accused the RJD MLA Rukanuddin of abducting and assaulting him over a land dispute involving a Dalit woman.
The JDU leader alleged that he was taken to the MLA’s residence, where he was brutally beaten with motorcycle rods and sticks. When he asked for water, he was allegedly forced to drink urine.
Speaking to India Today TV’s sister site, Aaj Tak, Purnea Superintendent of Police (SP) indicated that an arrest warrant may be issued against the RJD MLA over the issue.
The JDU leader sustained severe injuries and is currently undergoing treatment at Government Medical College and Hospital. A complaint has been filed against the MLA at Baisi police station.
Meanwhile, MLA Rukanuddin has dismissed the allegations, calling them politically motivated and baseless. He claimed that his side has also filed a complaint at the police station.

2025.2.16 UP woman injected with HIV-infected needle by in-laws over unmet dowry demand
The woman’s father alleged that his daughter had been subjected to constant torture by her in-laws over dowry demands.
A case has been registered on a local court’s order after a man in Uttar Pradesh alleged that his daughter was forcibly given an HIV-infected injection by her in-laws, who tortured her for not fulfilling their dowry demands, police said.
According to the report filed by the woman’s father, he married his daughter Sonal Saini to Abhishek alias Sachin son of Nathiram Saini, from Uttarakhand’s Haridwar on February 15, 2023. A car and Rs 15 lakh in cash were given as dowry to the groom’s family at the wedding. Despite this, the in-laws were not happy and after some time, they started demanding a Scorpio SUV car and Rs 25 lakh, the complaint said.
When the woman’s parents refused to give in to their hefty demands, the in-laws drove the married woman out of the house.
Later, with the intervention of the Panchayat in the Jaswawala village of Haridwar, the woman was sent back to her in-laws’ house. There, she again had to suffer physical and mental torture, her father said in the complaint. The girl’s family has alleged that her in-laws conspired to kill her by giving her HIV-infected injections.
After some time, when the woman’s health started deteriorating, her parents took her to the hospital. After the medical examination, the doctors said that she has been infected with HIV. What came as a shock to the girl’s family was that when her husband Abhishek was tested, he was found HIV negative.
Thereafter, the girl’s family complained to the police, but no action was taken against the accused.
The complainant then approached a local court. On the order of the court, the Gangoh Kotwali police registered a case against Abhishek alias Sachin, his parents and other family members under several serious sections including dowry harassment, assault, attempt to murder, among others.

2025.2.15 Three arrested for killing two youths in Mayiladuthurai
The police said investigations revealed that the victims had no direct enmity with the accused but were attacked while trying to prevent their friend from being assaulted
Two men were killed and another sustained injuries in a clash at Muttam village, under the Perambur police station limits, late Friday (February 14, 2025). Three persons have been arrested in connection with the double murder.
According to the police, M. Muventhan, 24, from North Street, Muttam, had an ongoing dispute with R. Dinesh, 28, from the same locality. On the evening of Thursday (February 13, 2025), the two had a verbal altercation that escalated into a fight before residents intervened and dispersed them.
However, the next day, at around 8.30 p.m., when Dinesh was talking to his friends — K. Harish, 25, from Muttam; B. Sakthi, 20, from Srinivasapuram; and K. Ajay ,19, from Muttam — three individuals, identified as M. Thangathurai, 28, R. Rajkumar, 34, and Muventhan, allegedly attacked them with knives.
Harish sustained severe abdominal injuries, while Sakthi was stabbed in the back. Ajay suffered injuries to his hand. The injured were rushed to the Mayiladuthurai Government Hospital, but Harish and Sakthi succumbed to their injuries on the way.
The police said investigations revealed that the deceased and the injured had no direct enmity with the accused but were attacked while trying to prevent Dinesh from being assaulted. Based on a complaint, the Perambur police registered a case and arrested Thangathurai, Muventhan, and Rajkumar. They have been remanded in judicial custody.
Meanwhile, the district police in a statement dismissed allegations linking the murders to illicit liquor sales, clarifying that the clash arose from a verbal dispute among the men from the same locality. Further investigations are underway.
Relatives of the deceased resorted to a protest demonstration refusing to accept the bodies alleging police inaction.

2025.2.15 Second Fight Carrying Indian Deportees Set To Land In Punjab
The mass deportation of 104 undocumented Indian immigrants from the United States had sparked outrage, especially on account of how it was executed, with disregard for the dignity of those involved.
Eyewitness accounts and mind-numbing images show the deportees— which included women and children—handcuffed and bound at the feet with ropes.
Their arrival in Amritsar aboard an American military aircraft raised serious questions about the ethics of immigration enforcement practices and the human rights implications of such actions.
Now, according to the latest update, a second flight carrying more undocumented Indian immigrants, including eight from Gujarat, is set to land in Punjab. The situation invites a myriad of unsettling questions. Will this new group endure similar dehumanising treatment? Or will the US government adopt a more compassionate approach in light of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to the White House?
The report also indicates that approximately 50 Gujaratis are currently held at a US detention facility, adding to the growing concerns over their conditions.
The deportees have disclosed that other Indian nationals, who are still under US custody, are being held in the very same detention facility where they were processed before being subject to deportation.
The report mentions that the C-17 Globemaster could only accommodate 12 security personnel and 104 deportees when it flew from the US to India in early February. Apparently, the remaining people held in the detention camp, including at least 50 Gujaratis, were likely to be deported in the coming days.
Adding to the complexity, a relative of a deportee from Mehsana revealed that another family member had been held at the US-Mexico border by the United States Customs and Border Patrol (USCBP) and would not be granted a hearing. Those detained after January 20, when Donald Trump assumed office as US President, would likely not receive a hearing. Instead, they will be sent directly to the detention camp and eventually flown to India.
Furthermore, it has come to light that three of the 33 Gujaratis deported earlier this month had previously attempted to enter the US illegally. Smuggled through Dubai and Mexico in 2023, they lost their way when the human trafficking network they relied on fell apart. Ultimately, the Gujaratis were captured at the US border.
They were part of a larger group of 20 who were part of the journey, fraught with high risks, around the same period. The operations were masterminded by an agent from Punjab and another from Andhra Pradesh, who arranged their initial travel from Delhi.

2025.2.15 Malad school horror: 3-year-old girl says ‘monster’ hurt her
Police probe sexual assault claim, but CCTV shows no suspicious activity; despite reviewing CCTV footage from cameras inside and outside the school, police have found no evidence of the incident
The Bangur Nagar police are searching for an unidentified suspect accused of sexually assaulting a three-and-a-half-year-old girl at a school in Malad on Wednesday (February 12). Despite reviewing CCTV footage from cameras inside and outside the school, police have found no evidence of the incident. When the girl’s mother asked who had harmed her, the child said it was a “monster.”
According to police sources, the child, a nursery student at a well-known international school in Malad West, complained of pain in her private parts after returning home from school on Wednesday evening. She was taken to a doctor, who initially suggested that the rash was likely due to an infection.
Later, when the mother questioned the child again, she reiterated that a “monster” had touched her private parts. Alarmed, the mother took her back to the doctor and narrated the entire incident. A gynaecologist then examined the child and expressed concerns, prompting the doctor to inform the Bangur Nagar police.
“We registered a case based on the mother’s complaint. Following instructions from senior officers, a police team visited the school and thoroughly examined the CCTV footage. However, no suspicious activity was found. The girl was seen going to the bathroom with a female caretaker and later returning with seven to eight other classmates,” said an officer.
Police then presented the caretaker and other staff members before the girl, asking if any of them had harmed her. However, she denied their involvement and insisted that a “monster” had touched her. The child was then taken to Cooper Hospital for a medical check-up. According to the doctors, the rashes on her private parts were likely caused by an infection, which subsided after medication.
“Considering the sensitivity of the case, we are investigating every angle. The girl’s clothes have been sent for forensic examination, and we are awaiting the report,” the officer added. “We have registered a case under the relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Further investigation is underway,” said Senior Inspector Anil Thakarey, Bangur Nagar police station.

2025.2.14 15-year-old Hindu girl abducted and raped by Samjad in Bhadohi: victim rescued by the police from West Bengal, accused arrested
The Bhadohi district police (Uttar Pradesh) rescued a 15-year-old girl who had been kidnapped from here after conducting a raid in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district and arrested a man for allegedly abducting and raping her, the police said on Wednesday (12 February 2025).
Police said that on January 8, a woman resident of a locality in the Surayawa police station area of ​​the district had lodged an FIR against Samjad alias Sanjay Bangali (25) regarding the kidnapping of her daughter.
Details of the case
According to Station House Officer Inspector (SHO) Arvind Kumar Gupta, in her complaint, the woman had alleged that Samjad, who worked as a mason and lived in a rented house here, had kidnapped her daughter. Gupta said the police team found out that the accused was in Murshidabad in West Bengal after which, with the help of the local police, they raided the Samjad’s hideout and recovered the girl.
He said that Samjad was also arrested and brought here, produced before the court and sent to jail after completing the legal procedures. Gupta said that the girl has also accused him of raping her.
According to reports, Samjad’s father, Abdul Qasim, was also an equal participant in the abduction. It took three months to the Uttar Pradesh Police to track them down in Murshidabad, the infamous Islamist dominated region of West Bengal.

Since the cables carry no electricity and are highly valuable due to the copper content and to steel, they used heaps of debris to access the metro tracks and cut through the barbed wire to steal them.
During interrogation, the culprits confessed to their involvement in multiple cable thefts, including an incident near Dwarka Metro Station. All three accused are illiterate, addicted to liquor and in order to earn money, they steal the cables.
