22-yr-old stabbed in Jaipur, 7 held
The prime accused, identified as Anas Khan, sustained a gunshot wound on his leg after the police opened fire to stop him from escaping. The victim, identified as Vipin Nayak alias Vicky, was stabbed to death in Jamdoli area on Sunday night around 9:30 PM, triggering panic and outrage in the locality.
According to officials, Khan and his aides had confronted Vipin, with whom he had a long-standing feud, near the latter's house in the Paldi Meena area.
As a heated argument broke out between the two, Khan stabbed Vipin multiple times on the chest before fleeing from the spot. Vipin's sister, who saw her brother being stabbed, rushed out after hearing his screams. Vipin was immediately rushed to SMS Hospital but he succumbed to his injuries during treatment.
The postmortem could not be conducted as the family members did not give their consent, sources said.
Soon after the incident, Khan posted on social media saying 'Revenge is complete,' though the post was later deleted.
In response to the murder, protests erupted on Monday with locals and family members blocking the Dausa-Agra Highway demanding justice. However, police managed to convince the protesters to shift to the service lane. The family demanded Rs 50 lakh as compensation, a government job for one of the kin, the suspension of Jamdoli Police Station SHO, and trial in a fast-track court. Authorities have assured them that the demands would be forwarded to senior officials.
DCP Tejaswini Gautam confirmed that Khan and six others were arrested within hours.
DIG Rameshwar Singh, while speaking to The Indian Express, said that the arrests were made within 14 hours of the incident. He added that the motive behind the killing appears to stem out from personal rivalry, though the exact reasons are still being investigated. Police forces from nearby stations were deployed to maintain order in the aftermath of the killing.

16-year-old Dalit boy sexually assaulted by 7 minors after he lost Rs 50 bet in Uttar Pradesh
MEERUT: A 16-year-old Dalit boy was allegedly sexually assaulted by as many as seven youths (all minors) after he lost a Rs 50 bet during a cricket match and could not pay. The culprits recorded a video of the incident and circulated it among peers, who also sexually assaulted him several times by threatening to upload the clip on social media. Though the initial assault took place nearly a month ago at a village in Saharanpur district of Uttar Pradesh, the complaint was lodged only on Monday after the traumatised boy could not bear it any longer and narrated his ordeal to his family. The boy's father said his son was so traumatised that he did not step out of the house for days. "The boy was sexually assaulted several times by the group members, all minors, on the pretext of his obscene video," said circle officer Vaibhav Pandey. "Following a complaint, an FIR under sections 3 (2)(5) of the SC/ST Act, and 3A and 4 of the Pocso Act has been registered against seven youths, and three of them have been detained. Medical examination of the victim was done and his statements were recorded. Investigation is on. The dispute over the cricket match bet is also being investigated," said Pandey.

Chanda Kochhar-Videocon Scam: Inside The Rs 3,250 Cr Loan And Rs 64 Cr Bribery
Last Updated: Appellate Tribunal has found Chanda Kochhar guilty of accepting a Rs 64 cr bribe for sanctioning a Rs 300 cr loan to Videocon; Here's what happened Chanda Kochhar-Videocon Case: The ICICI Bank–Videocon loan fraud case took a decisive turn in July 2025 after the PMLA Appellate Tribunal held Chanda Kochhar, former MD and CEO of ICICI Bank, guilty of accepting a Rs 64 crore bribe in exchange for approving a Rs 300 crore loan to the Videocon Group. The ruling upheld charges filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), calling it a 'clear case of quid pro quo." The case traces back to allegations by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) that ICICI Bank, under Kochhar's leadership, sanctioned loans totalling Rs 3,250 crore to Videocon Group firms promoted by Venugopal Dhoot. These sanctions allegedly violated the Banking Regulation Act, RBI norms, and ICICI's own internal credit policies. Among the disbursals, a pivotal transaction took place in September 2009 when ICICI Bank sanctioned Rs 300 crore to Videocon International Electronics Ltd (VIEL), a group subsidiary. Just one day later, Rs 64 crore was transferred from Supreme Energy Pvt Ltd (a Videocon-linked firm) to NuPower Renewables Pvt Ltd, a company effectively controlled by Chanda Kochhar's husband, Deepak Kochhar. The case spotlighted deeper issues of conflict of interest and corporate governance lapses, as Chanda Kochhar failed to disclose her husband's links to Videocon during her participation in loan sanctioning decisions. Early Red Flags & Chanda Kochhar's Exit Red flags were raised as early as 2016 by whistleblowers and media reports, which pointed to potential conflicts of interest in the ICICI-Videocon dealings. Following mounting scrutiny, the CBI launched a preliminary probe in March 2018. Kochhar resigned from her post in October 2018, citing personal reasons, but her exit coincided with growing internal and regulatory investigations. These probes sought to determine if she had breached ICICI Bank's code of conduct by concealing personal financial links that could influence lending decisions. FIR, ED Probe, and Asset Attachments The case intensified in January 2019 when the CBI filed a formal FIR against Chanda Kochhar, Deepak Kochhar, and Venugopal Dhoot, alleging criminal conspiracy, cheating, and misuse of official position under the IPC and the Prevention of Corruption Act. The Enforcement Directorate followed suit with a money laundering probe and provisionally attached Rs 78 crore worth of assets belonging to the Kochhars. However, in November 2020, the PMLA Adjudicating Authority ordered the release of these assets, stating the ED had not established a direct link between the funds and criminal activity at that point. In December 2022, the CBI arrested Chanda Kochhar, Deepak Kochhar, and Venugopal Dhoot, claiming to have conclusive evidence linking them to the illicit transactions. A month later, the Bombay High Court granted interim bail to the Kochhars, slamming the arrests as 'arbitrary" and lacking procedural rigour. The court criticised the CBI for making routine arrests 'without application of mind." The case regained national attention in September 2024 when the Supreme Court issued notices to Chanda and Deepak Kochhar in response to a CBI plea. The CBI challenged the interim bail, arguing that the Kochhars' release could hinder ongoing investigations. The ED, too, reiterated its stance before the Appellate Tribunal, emphasising the structured nature of the fund transfers and Kochhar's conflict of interest. July 2025 Tribunal Verdict: Bribery and Ethics Violation Confirmed On July 3, 2025, the PMLA Appellate Tribunal overturned the 2020 ruling and ruled in favour of the ED. The tribunal concluded that Chanda Kochhar was guilty of accepting a Rs 64 crore bribe in return for approving the Rs 300 crore loan to Videocon. It rejected claims that the payment to NuPower was a legitimate business transaction and called it a bribe, routed through Supreme Energy and NuPower, which was controlled by Deepak Kochhar. The tribunal emphasised that Chanda Kochhar, as a member of ICICI's credit committee, had a fiduciary duty to disclose any conflict of interest—something she failed to do. Citing evidence recorded under Section 50 of the PMLA Act, the tribunal also ruled that the earlier adjudicating authority had overlooked material facts and erred in releasing the attached assets. tags : chanda kochhar case view comments Location : New Delhi, India, India First Published: July 23, 2025, 08:30 IST News business » banking-finance Chanda Kochhar-Videocon Scam: Inside The Rs 3,250 Cr Loan And Rs 64 Cr Bribery Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

‘We're tightening the noose': 3 months since Pahalgam, how Army is working to corner terrorists
From night operations to dominating higher ground – with exactly three months having passed since the Pahalgam terror attack, the Army is working overtime to ensure terrorists don't get a moment to settle in dense forests and mountain ranges of Jammu and Kashmir, top officers have told The Indian Express. Earlier, top Army sources said, operations would often be suspended following sunset and would resume at dawn. However, the shift to more night operations is intended to ensure that terrorists can neither rest at one place nor move around easily in the dark. On June 26, search operations during the night led a joint party of the police and security forces to establish contact with a group of terrorists in Basantgarh area of Udhampur, resulting in the killing of a top terrorist commander of the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad. Identified as Haider, codenamed Maulvi from Pakistan, he was active in the area for the last four years. Sources also said that security forces have made it a point to occupy the higher ground in the Pir Panjal range. A senior Army officer cited a recent encounter in the Chatroo area of Kishtwar, where a group of terrorists moving upwards towards a ridge was caught off guard by the Army troops, who were already dominating the strategic mountain heights. The militants, who are believed to have been on the way to the South Kashmir side, on the other side of the ridge, were challenged by the troops and retaliated by hurling a grenade. Two terrorists were killed in the morning of May 22. 'We are tightening the noose,' a senior Army officer said. Pointing out that 'the terrorists are finding it increasingly difficult to move', he said, 'We will hunt them down, sooner or later.' Pointing out that 40-50 terrorists in small groups are believed to be active in areas falling on the South of Pir Panjal range in Jammu province, sources said that over 80 per cent are Pakistani nationals. The counter-terror operations, Army sources said, are in progress not only in areas of Rajouri and Poonch districts along the Line of Control, but also in the hinterland areas of Reasi, Doda, Kishtwar, Udhampur and Kathua districts.
