Three brothers sentenced to life imprisonment for murder in Bhadohi
According to District Government Counsel Mukesh Upadhyay, the three convicts – Qasim, Hashim, and Amin alias Diesel — were found guilty of killing Saudagar Ali in Ghamahapur locality under Kotwali police station limits. The murder, committed on October 13, 2023, was the result of an old rivalry. The court of District and Sessions Judge Akhilesh Dubey also imposed a fine of Rs 27,000 on each of the convicts. Bhadohi (UP), Jul 8 (PTI) A court here on Tuesday sentenced three brothers to life imprisonment in a 2023 murder case. The judge also directed that half of the total fine collected be paid to the victim's mother, Saeedul Nisa. Superintendent of Police Abhimanyu Manglik said the murder was an act of revenge. In June 2021, Saudagar Ali had allegedly murdered the youngest brother of the convicts, Sabir, after offering him alcohol. Saudagar was arrested and later released on bail in August 2023. On the night of October 13, 2023, the three men spotted Saudagar Ali drinking near Faridan pond and attacked him with sharp weapons, killing him on the spot. Following a complaint by the victim's mother, police registered a case under IPC Section 302 (murder) and the Arms Act. The accused were arrested and a chargesheet was filed after investigation.

ACB expands probe into home guard bribery, duty posting scam
1 2 Jaipur: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) expanded its probe into Home Guard commandant Navneet Joshi, a day after he was caught allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 25,000 at the Home Guard Training Centre in city. Bureau sources said that they will also look into allegations that the accused officials may have been demanding monthly payments from home guards in exchange for favourable duty postings. According to some representatives of a home guard association, the bribery was not an isolated incident. They claim that home guards were regularly coerced into paying monthly bribes for postings with different departments such as traffic, prisons, and police check-posts — all of which allowed them to wear the khaki uniform and access better allowances and opportunities for 'extra income'. "Home guards are used for different types of postings. For example, they are deputed at the residences of senior bureaucrats and politicians where the work often includes household chores, which most guards prefer to avoid," said an association representative, requesting anonymity. "The second is field duty — at police outposts, traffic posts, or jails — where the guards get to wear the uniform and receive a regular allowance. It's these desirable posts that were being sold month after month," he added. ACB's initial arrest took place Monday, when Joshi, a Rajasthan Police Service (RPS) officer of additional SP rank, and company commander Chandrapal Singh Shekhawat, were allegedly caught red-handed taking a bribe from a suspended home guard constable. The complainant alleged that the two officers demanded Rs 2 lakh in total — to be paid in eight instalments — for lifting his suspension and reassigning him to duty. The first instalment of Rs 25,000 was paid under surveillance by ACB, which then moved in to arrest both officers at the training centre on MI Road. During searches, ACB recovered Rs 4.85 lakh in cash and documents for five plots from Joshi's residence. At Shekhawat's house, Rs 2.57 lakh was found along with documents for two plots and other property papers. With growing concerns that more home guards may have been victims of this racket, ACB is now widening the scope of its investigation. Senior officials said that Joshi and Shekhawat are being interrogated under Prevention of Corruption Act and that financial documents seized from their homes are being examined to determine whether they own assets disproportionate to their known sources of income.

Noida man in the dock for false evidence in court, accused walk free
Noida: Blood runs thicker than the pursuit of justice, at least it does for Noida resident Akash Tyagi who filed a complaint five years ago about an attack on himself and his father that led to a case of criminal intimidation and assault against five of his relatives. But with the family apparently patching up, he and others listed as witnesses turned hostile, refusing to testify against their own kin. The prosecution case fell through and led to all the accused being acquitted. But the courtroom drama did not end there. Upset with its time being wasted, additional district and sessions judge Abhishek Pandey directed the registry to issue a notice to Tyagi and initiate proceedings under section 344 of CrPC for false evidence in court. If found guilty, Tyagi could be sentenced to imprisonment up to three months, a fine of up to Rs 500, or both. Tyagi had filed a case against his relatives Ankit Tyagi and Rahul alias Rohit, their father Surendra, and two other relatives—Rohit and Anuj—at Ecotech III police station in 2020 for attacking him, his father Omveer and brothers Vijay and Mohit. After investigation, a charge sheet was filed against all five accused under IPC sections 147 (rioting), 148 (rioting, armed with a deadly weapon), 149 (unlawful assembly for offences committed in prosecution of the common object), 307 (attempt to murder), 308 (attempt to commit culpable homicide not amounting to murder), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) of IPC.

During the proceedings, Surendra died and his name was dropped from the list of accused. The prosecution presented four witnesses in the case including Akash, Omveer, Mohit and Vijay, besides SI Dhirendra Kumar. But during the trial, Akash and his father refused to corroborate the charges and said they did not lodge the case. "I was not present at the place of occurrence, and I did not see any of the accused beating my father or my cousin. I got information about some commotion near our residence after my brother Mohit gave me a call," he told the court. During cross-examination, Akash claimed he was misled by the locals and encouraged to lodge a case against his relatives. Omveer, meanwhile, said he did not have a fight with any of the five accused. "There was some commotion near our residence, and when we went to check the matter, I was injured. In a similar way, Vijay fell and was injured on his head, but none among those named in the case were present there," he submitted. Omveer also told the court that he had asked his son to submit a police complaint after being provoked by locals but submitted no statement to the police against those named in the FIR. "The police never visited the spot, nor did we take the case supervisor to the spot for corroborating the matter written in the tahreer," he said. Giving the benefit of the doubt, the court on Saturday acquitted all four accused in the case. They were directed to deposit a personal bond of Rs 25,000 each and two sureties of the same amount under section 437A of CrPC, stating that the bond shall remain valid for a period of six months. Taking strong exception to what it described as a waste of judicial time, the court directed the registry to issue a notice to the original complainant and initiate proceedings under relevant legal provisions. "It is logical to lodge a case against complainant Akash Tyagi for lodging an FIR and then not supporting the prosecution case during the trial, and accordingly, a notice should be served to him," the court said.
