Vehicle theft racket busted: 2 Vidisha men arrested in Bhopal, 15 bikes worth Rs 10 lakh recovered
BHOPAL: In a major crackdown on vehicle theft, Nishatpura police on Tuesday claimed to have arrested two notorious bike thieves and recovered 15 stolen two-wheelers worth around Rs10 lakh from their possession.
The accused were found to be hiding stolen bikes in forest areas and selling them in rural regions after changing their number plates.
According to police, the arrests were made following a tip-off that two suspicious youths were roaming around the Karond vegetable market area on a motorcycle with no registration number, likely with the intent to commit theft. Acting on the information, a special police team conducted a cordon operation and detained the suspects.
The accused were identified as Zahid Khan and Shivraj Ahirwar, both residents of Vidisha. When asked for documents of the motorcycle, they failed to provide any. A verification through the VDP (Vehicle Data Portal) revealed that the bike was reported stolen nearly 10 months ago from Jail Road.
Subsequent interrogation revealed that the accused stole multiple bikes from various areas of Bhopal, including Nishatpura, Piplani, Teela Jamalpura, Gautam Nagar, Sukhi Sewania, Kolar, Eintkhedi, and Ashoka Garden.

Fresno shooting: Kuvar Kumar killed outside home; police say attack 'not random'
A 33-year-old man, identified as Kuvar Kumar, was shot and killed outside his home in northwest Fresno on the evening of Monday, 21 July. Fresno Police said officers were dispatched to the area of State Avenue and Acacia Avenue at around 6:52 pm following reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, officers found Kumar unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds. Despite life-saving efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene. According to investigators, Kumar had just returned home when he was ambushed and fatally shot. Two people were reportedly inside the residence at the time of the attack, including Kumar's brother. Homicide detectives who responded to the scene say the presence of two distinct types of shell casings suggests there may have been more than one shooter. Police believe the act was targeted rather than random. The Fresno Police Department is actively canvassing the neighbourhood in search of witnesses or surveillance footage that may assist in identifying the suspects. No descriptions of the attackers have been released yet, and authorities have urged the public to come forward with any relevant information. 'This is an active investigation, and we are asking anyone who may have seen or heard anything to reach out,' said a spokesperson. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?

'Friends' star Matthew Perry's doctor to plead guilty to supplying illegal dosage of Ketamine
The doctor of the late actor, Matthew Perry , is expected to plead guilty on Wednesday. He was charged with supplying an illegal dosage of Ketamine to the 'Friends' actor before his demise in 2023 due to overdose, becoming the fourth out of five individuals to plead guilty in the case. Dr. Salvador Palensia would be guilty of four counts According to AP, Dr. Salvador Palensia had originally planned to go on trial in August; however, the medical professional decided to sign a plea agreement on admitting guilt on four counts of Ketamine distribution, while three additional charges of distribution and two counts of falsifying records would be dropped. Previously, he had pleaded not guilty on all the mentioned charges. The defence attorneys emphasised that Palensia was not treating Perry during the time of his death and nor did he provide any Ketamine that caused death, after the doctor reached an agreement. The charges that the professional would have a maximum sentence of 40 years imprisonment, but he is likely to get less. The one who has not pleaded guilty - 'Ketamine Queen' Palensia has been free on bond since shortly after he was arrested in August, and he would not be in prison until his sentence. The only withstanding defendant who has not reached an agreement with the US attorney is the 'Ketamine Queen,' who prosecutors allege is a drug dealer and provided the actor with a lethal dose of Ketamine. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo The trial is set to begin next month, as she has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

About Matthew Perry's demise Matthew Perry was found dead on October 28, 2023, at his home in Los Angeles by his assistant Kenneth Iwamasa. The medical examiners claimed the reason was Ketamine overdose. The actor had a legal prescription for his treatment of depression, and began seeking more than his doctor would allow him.

From victim to accused: Karnataka man claims murder attempt by minor wife; faces child marriage, Pocso charges
RAICHUR: Marriage, deep differences, mutual separation and arrest - all in three months. A 22-year-old agricultural labourer's dream life swung from purple-prose marriage to high drama on a bridge to now attending police inquiry - and a possible arrest - on charges of marrying an underaged girl. About 10 days after Thatappa alias Tataiah from Shaktinagar, near Raichur, alleged his wife Gangavva (name changed) pushed him off the Krishna bridge in the district into the river in a bid to kill him, the groom has been booked under Prohibition of Child Marriage Act. Police said the marriage took place in Raichur on April 18. However, it hit a rough patch within weeks and their families, too, were at daggers drawn, turning any reconciliatory efforts futile. You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru Thatappa and Gangavva went to the Gurjapur barrage in the district on a bike on July 11. While pretending to take his photograph on the bridge, the woman allegedly pushed him into the river. Thathappa fell into the river in a splash, but soon emerged overground unscathed. A video of the incident came into the public domain a few days later and became viral. Soon, the couple parted ways by mutual consent, without the legal sanction of a divorce, after the bridge fiasco. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?

Raichur Women's Police filed charges against Thatappa, his mother, and the bride's mother under the Prohibiiton of Child Marriage Act. Officials from State Child Rights Commission and women and child welfare department were notified. Subsequently, panchayat development officer Ravikumar of Devasugur gram panchayat filed a formal police report regarding the incident. The district's child protection unit has sent the minor to the district girls' home. Shashidhar Kosambe, a member of State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, said Thatappa and the minor lived together as a couple for a short period. Therefore, a case under Pocso should be filed against him. If not, the commission will initiate a suo motu case. Yadgir district child protection officer sent a letter to the Raichur DCPO requesting that a case be filed against the man and others under Child Marriage Act and Pocso.
