e-Malkhana App launched in 6 police stations of Buxar
This innovative system is designed to modernise the management of seized items stored in malkhanas.
Inspired by a similar initiative implemented by the Delhi Police, the e-Malkhana App enables digital cataloguing of every seized item using unique identification codes, high-resolution photographs, associated case details and precise storage location mapping.
The app has been launched in six police stations—Itadhi, Dhansoi, Tilak Rai Ka Hata, Chakki, Bagen Gola and Vasudeva outpost of the district.
Buxar SP, Shubham Arya, said, "Items stored in the malkhana are the property of the court and they must be produced when required.
Delays or mishandling can severely impact the delivery of justice. The e-Malkhana app ensures that every item is traceable and its condition verifiable in real time."
Earlier, records were maintained on paper—making them vulnerable to damage, misplacement, or manipulation. Searching for a single piece of evidence could take hours, often delaying court proceedings. In some cases, evidence went missing or was intentionally hidden.

7.3cr fraud: Man who gave docus to open mule a/c held
1 2 Mumbai: A Chembur resident was recently arrested by south region cyber police in a Rs 7.3-crore investment fraud case for allegedly allowing his address to be used to open a bank account for a shell company to which part of the money was diverted. The victim, a 63-year-old south Mumbai businessman, was shown profits of Rs 31 crore in a virtual wallet. Police said the fraudsters asked the suspect, Rahul Gawli (41), to visit Goa, where they opened a bank account in a fake company's name and used his and another accused's documents for it. Gawli was assured of a monthly pay in exchange. The gang operated the company's account, to which the complainant sent Rs 5 lakh. The complainant lodged a police complaint on May 17 stating that he was added to a WhatsApp group through a link in Feb. A woman, Riya Bansal, and some other gang members pretended to be representatives of a private company that manages the portfolios of investors. In a WhatsApp message, Bansal told the businessman that they would invest his money in the primary market and that he would stand to earn huge profits. The man wanted to open an account in his daughter's name. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription!

Trump's Epstein dilemma: When the conspiracist-in-chief can't kill the conspiracy
YouTuber Coffeezilla has sparked fresh debate after pointing out a missing minute in newly released Epstein jail footage. The DOJ says the case is closed, but online users remain skeptical as conspiracy theories surge again. For a president who has long thrived in conspiracy, chaos and disinformation, the Jeffrey Epstein case has become an uncharacteristic vulnerability. Donald Trump , a master manipulator of narrative and outrage, now finds himself at the mercy of the very conspiratorial forces he once weaponized. And this time, they're not buying what he's selling. As CNN reported Monday, Trump is 'increasingly frustrated' by a controversy that refuses to go away. The justice department's recent memo closing the Epstein case - denying the existence of a client list or evidence of murder - was intended to put an end to the speculation. Instead, it has inflamed it. 'This was a conspiracy theory that Donald Trump, Pam Bondi and these MAGA extremists have been fanning the flames of for the last several years,' House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries told reporters Monday, 'and now the chickens are coming home to roost.' The drama has pitted the president against the online influencers and true believers who form the MAGA movement's ideological core. It's a rare moment where Trump is no longer seen as the avenging outsider taking on the deep state - but as part of the cover-up. 'People are really upset at the outright dismissal of it,' Natalie Winters, a correspondent for Steve Bannon's 'War Room' podcast, told The New York Times. 'I have never seen such sustained wavering.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Что происходит при сжигании лаврового листа? Undo A fracturing movement From Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene warning of 'significant' fallout, to Elon Musk calling Epstein Trump's 'Achilles' heel,' the backlash has broken into the open. And while Trump still commands loyalty in public from party leaders like House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senators Lindsey Graham and John Cornyn, cracks are showing beneath the surface. MAGA influencers are in revolt. Attorney general Pam Bondi, once cheered for promising to 'review' Epstein's alleged client list, is now facing demands for her resignation. Bondi's prior remarks - including on Fox News in February - are circulating online as evidence of betrayal. "Don't sit there and tell me there's nothing when you told me there was something,' Jack Posobiec said Monday on 'War Room.' Even Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, is treading cautiously. 'I do think that there needs to be more transparency on this,' she said on Benny Johnson's podcast. She stopped short of condemning the administration but made clear that the calls for disclosure are not going away. The deep state, reversed Trump has spent years convincing his followers that America is run by hidden elites, and that only he could bring them to justice. The Epstein conspiracy - implicating shadowy networks, intelligence agencies, and sex trafficking of minors - became a foundational myth in MAGA lore. As the Atlantic's Michelle Goldberg observed, Epstein is not just a case. He's a symbol: 'The fantasy of Trump as a warrior against sex trafficking [is] a way for his followers to manage their cognitive dissonance about his obvious personal degeneracy.' The MAGA faithful were promised that returning Trump to office would blow the lid off Epstein's secrets. Instead, they got a DOJ memo and a president insisting, 'nobody cares about Epstein.' 'He's massively misreading his base on this one,' conservative commentator Liz Wheeler wrote on X. 'It could cost him the midterms.' The MAGA identity crisis Steve Bannon warned at the Turning Point USA conference that if just 10% of the base sits out the 2026 midterms, Republicans could lose 40 House seats. A narrative collapse like this one could be the tipping point. 'This gets to the heart of who is in control of the country,' said Winters. 'If you're not exposing it, either you're a liar, or you're ineffective, or you're compromised.' Trump's attempt to pivot - now blaming the Epstein controversy on Obama, Hillary Clinton, and a 'Radical Left' conspiracy to discredit him - is being met with rare disbelief from his base. 'It's bizarre,' said Winters. 'I just don't know.' How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won't release the Epstein files? Elon Musk on X The real-world consequences The Epstein fallout isn't just a MAGA psychodrama. It has implications for national governance and the rule of law. As the New York Times' Jess Bidgood noted, the justice department, tasked with investigating real crimes and protecting civil liberties, now finds itself crippled by infighting and distrust. 'Vitriol ricocheting through the management suite risks detracting from the core missions of the DOJ and the FBI,' CNN reported. The spectacle of a president turning on his own conspiracy-driven followers while defending a Justice Department accused of suppressing evidence has further eroded trust in government institutions. This, too, is a legacy of Trumpism: a movement that undermines belief in shared facts, then loses control when its own alternate realities break down. What comes next? Trump may yet ride this out. His command over the GOP remains formidable. But the Epstein crisis marks a shift. His power to bend the narrative may be waning, not because the media or Democrats finally broke through - but because his own supporters feel betrayed. And that is the most dangerous kind of disillusionment for a populist: not from without, but from within. As Axios summed it, 'Even MAGA's most loyal foot soldiers are struggling to explain how top Trump officials could close the Epstein case after promising - for years - that it would expose shadowy global elites.' That's the real scandal now: not Epstein, but the broken promise that he would be the key to everything.
