‘NBW-free commissionerate': Rachakonda Police clear all 2,847 pending warrants in 30 days
The crackdown was launched after the number of pending NBWs rose sharply from 1,088 in January to 2,847 by the end of April, said Police Commissioner G. Sudheer Babu.
'Nine special teams were formed, each comprising one sub-inspector and four constables, to carry out warrant executions division-wise. Additional teams were sent to other states, including Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, to trace the accused who had relocated. Warrants were grouped based on the seriousness of the offence, geography, and period of pendency,' explained the commissioner.
A total of 2,024 accused persons were physically produced in court. 'In the remaining 823 cases, police submitted requisitions to courts for proclamation proceedings, notices to sureties, and attachment of property under Sections 82 and 83 of the Criminal Procedure Code and corresponding BNSS provisions,' added the officer.
He further explained that among the executed NBWs, 1,408 were long-pending cases issued before 2023. In 52 cases, the accused were found to be deceased. 'Fourteen accused were already in jail, and their warrants were regularised to initiate trial. In 13 cases, the accused had absconded mid-trial, and police re-secured their presence. Four persons were wanted in narcotics-related cases, their arrest is expected to expedite trials in related matters,' said the Commissioner.
Going forward, police said they will continue the timely execution of all new NBWs. If warrants cannot be executed, legal steps including proclamations, surety forfeiture, and property attachment will be initiated without delay.

UIDAI Accesses 1.55 Crore Death Records To Deactivate Aadhaar Numbers Of Deceased
New Delhi: UIDAI has accessed 1.55 crore death records with the Registrar General of India for deactivating Aadhaar numbers of deceased persons as part of the proactive measures to maintain the continued accuracy and integrity of the Aadhaar database, the Ministry of Electronics and IT said on Wednesday. In order to prevent unauthorised usage of the Aadhaar number of any family member after their death, it is recommended that Aadhaar number holders report the death of their family members on the myAadhaar Portal after obtaining their death certificate from the death registering authorities, a statement said. No Aadhaar number is ever reassigned to another individual. However, in case of the death of a person, it is essential that his or her Aadhaar number is deactivated to prevent identity fraud and unauthorised usage of such Aadhaar number, the statement explained. It is also important to validate the status of the deceased Aadhaar number holders prior to deactivation of their Aadhaar numbers, as it may have widespread ramifications for them. Therefore, in order to maintain the continued accuracy of the Aadhaar database, UIDAI has proactively taken measures to obtain death records from various sources and deactivate Aadhaar numbers after due validation, according to the statement. As part of these steps, UIDAI recently requested the Registrar General of India (RGI) to share death records linked with Aadhaar numbers. RGI has, till date, provided approximately 1.55 crore death records from 24 States/UTs using the Civil Registration System (CRS). After due validation, around 1.17 crore Aadhaar numbers have been deactivated. A similar exercise is continuing with non-CRS States/UTs. About 6.7 lakh death records have been received so far, and deactivation is in progress, the official statement said. UIDAI also launched a new service – 'Reporting of Death of a Family Member' - on the myAadhaar Portal on June 9, 2025, for deaths registered in 24 States/UTs presently using the Civil Registration System. This portal allows individuals to report the death of their family members. The family member, after authenticating himself/herself, is required to provide Aadhaar number and Death Registration Number along with other demographic details of the deceased person on the portal. After due process of validation of the information submitted by the family member, further action is taken for the deactivation, or otherwise, of the Aadhaar number of the deceased person. The process of integration of remaining States/UTs with the portal is currently underway, the statement explained. Besides, UIDAI is also exploring the possibility of sourcing death records from banks and other Aadhaar ecosystem entities that maintain such information. UIDAI is also taking support from State Governments in identifying the deceased Aadhaar number holders. As a pilot, demographic details of Aadhaar number holders aged more than 100 years are being shared with State Governments to verify whether the Aadhaar number holder is alive. Upon receipt of such verification report, necessary validation will be carried out before deactivating such Aadhaar number. UIDAI has empowered Aadhaar number holders of India with a unique identity and a digital platform to authenticate anytime, anywhere. Aadhaar number is a unique 12-digit digital identity for the residents of India and NRIs. The 12-digit Aadhaar number is a random number generated without the use of any intelligence, and, hence, not all 12-digit numbers are Aadhaar numbers, the statement added.

UP religious conversion row: Chhangur Baba's landlord asked to pay Rs 8.5 lakh as demolition cost
The Balrampur district administration in Uttar Pradesh Wednesday issued a notice directing the landlord of Jalaluddin alias Chhangur Baba, arrested for alleged illegal religious conversions, to pay Rs 8.5 lakh as compensation for the costs incurred in demolishing unauthorised constructions. The administration demolished a part of the house where Chhangur Baba had been living for the past four years, a few days ago, after discovering that it was allegedly constructed on government land. House owner Neetu alias Nasreen, 35, was arrested along with Baba in Lucknow on July 5. The two were in seven-day police custody, which ended Wednesday. Balrampur Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Satya Pal stated that the house owner has been given 15 days to pay the fine; failing to do so, a recovery certificate will be issued against her. He added that the compensation amount was calculated based on the expenses incurred over the three days it took to demolish the portion of the house, which stood on nearly two biswa of land. Along with Baba and Neetu, his son Mehboob and Neetu's husband Naveen alias Jamaluddin are also under arrest in the same case. The police stated that Neetu and Naveen, originally from Mumbai, had relocated to Madhpur with their daughter, purchased land, and built a large house spanning approximately four bighas of land, where Baba later came to live with them. As Neetu and her husband Naveen are in judicial custody and no one is available to receive the notice, the district administration pasted it on the wall of the house, which is currently at the centre of the religious conversion case. The SDM stated that the compensation was calculated based on the expenses incurred during the three consecutive days of demolition. The SDM said that on the first day of the demolition, nine JCB machines were used, followed by eight JCBs on each of the next two days. The wages of 10 labourers involved in the demolition, along with the three-day salaries of government officials and personnel engaged in the operation, were also included in the cost. Additionally, an electricity department team was called in to disconnect the power supply during the drive. He added that the total cost of the demolition came to Rs 8.09 lakh, while damages for encroaching on government land were assessed at Rs 46,200, bringing the total recovery amount to Rs 8,55,398. The Uttar Pradesh Police said the case of illegal religious conversion came to light after a complaint was received about some 'suspicious persons' living in Madhpur who had, within a year, acquired property worth crores of rupees, raising suspicions of foreign funding. During the investigation, the police alleged they uncovered a racket targeting poor and vulnerable non-Muslims, including widows, who were systematically coerced into converting through allurements, financial aid, and false promises of marriage. Those who resisted were allegedly threatened with false legal cases. They had 'fixed rates' for conversion, as per the police, based on caste – Rs 15-16 lakh for converting a Brahmin, Sardar, or Kshatriya Hindu woman; Rs 10-12 lakh per woman from backwards castes; and Rs 8-10 lakh for those from other castes. After the investigation, the police registered a case last year at the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) police station in Lucknow. As the probe began, Baba went into hiding. A non-bailable warrant was issued against him, and a reward of Rs 50,000 was announced for information leading to his arrest. According to the police, some of Baba's first successful conversions were Neetu, Naveen, and their daughter: a Sindhi family from Mumbai, who were allegedly 'brainwashed' into converting to Islam. The police also claim to have evidence that members of the alleged racket travelled to Islamic countries nearly 40 times and opened more than 40 bank accounts—either in their names or in the names of organisations—with transactions totalling around Rs 100 crore.
