Ex-boyfriend stabs Banswara teacher to death
Udaipur/Jaipur: In a chilling act of violence, a 36-year-old govt school teacher was brutally murdered with a sword by her former boyfriend — a taxi driver — at a bus stand in full public view in Banswara district Tuesday morning. The attack occurred around 10.30am at the Kalinjara town bus stand where the woman was waiting for conveyance. The accused, identified as Mahipal Bhagaura, arrived in a car, stepped out and stabbed her in the stomach with the sword. The victim, Leela Tabiyar, collapsed on the spot as shocked bystanders watched the assault unfold. Mahipal attempted to flee in the same car but crashed the vehicle into a tree near the bus stand shortly after. He then abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot. Locals alerted the police and rushed Leela to the district hospital, where doctors declared her dead on arrival. Police teams from Baghidora and Kalinjara stations reached the scene after receiving the a resident of Arthuna, was posted as a Grade-II Sanskrit teacher at Govt Senior Secondary School in Chhaya Mahudi, Sajjangarh block.A police officer said that she was divorced and once shared a close relationship with the accused. "After her divorce, they were in a relationship. However, it appears things turned sour between them recently. We analysed their call records and found that the two spoke several times since morning. Mahipal was aware of her exact location," the officer said. The officer added that the accused had a history of violence. About two years ago, Banswara police arrested him for assaulting Leela. The matter was later settled and he was granted bail following a compromise. Several eyewitnesses confirmed the sequence of events. They told the police that as soon as Mahipal arrived, Leela noticed a sharp-edged weapon in his hand. Sensing danger, she tried to flee but the attack was so sudden that she had no time to react. He stabbed her multiple times before escaping. Police have secured the CCTV footage of the incident, which they say will provide crucial evidence in the case. Banswara SP Harshvardhan Agarwala said the car, which crashed into a tree, has been seized. "We have formed six police teams and set up checkpoints to trace and arrest Mahipal. The victim's body is currently kept in the district hospital mortuary," the officer added. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Doctor's Day 2025 , messages and quotes!

Deputy commissioner of police (crime) of the Pimpri Chinchwad police, Shivaji Pawar, said, "The arrested men used to provide mule bank account holders to their handlers based in foreign countries.

He is currently based in a country in the Gulf. The crooks contacted him in Feb and promised him 15% returns on his investments in stocks through their platform. "The victim accepted the offer and started investing money as and when he was told to. He could see the profit he earned on the platform. Within three months, he transferred Rs1.11 crore to the different bank account numbers provided to him," the officer said. He said that the victim realised that he was being duped when his request for withdrawal of his money was denied. Moreover, the crooks were demanding money under the pretext of taxes. He then stopped responding to them and approached the cyber police. "A team of officers, including assistant police inspector Pravin Swami and police sub inspectors Sangar Poman and Prasad Katkade, were deployed to investigate the case," he said. Swami told TOI that during the probe, it was revealed that Rs2 lakh from the total sum were transferred to a private bank's account in Nagpur. Poman reached there and took Sharad Saraf (48) into custody. "During questioning, Saraf revealed the names of three more suspects — Suraj Saykar (28), Yogiraj Jadhav (28) and Sanket Nhavale (24). Saykar and Jadhav were taken into custody from Nagpur, and Nhavale arrested from Pune," he said. Swami said that all these arrested men used to provide mule bank accounts to their handlers through Nagesh Gange (28) of Hadapsar. "We found that transactions worth more than Rs 1 crore were made through these mule bank accounts. They used to withdraw these amounts and convert them to cryptocurrencies. Gange used to transfer these cryptocurrencies to his handlers from other countries," Swami said. He said that later, Gange was also taken into custody from Hadapsar. Gange runs a milk supply business in the area. "The four arrested men other than Gange also currently reside in Hadapsar. They were into software development-related work, mainly doing projects for college students.

Congress alleges massive scam in SAIL subsidised steel sales
New Delhi, July 1 (UNI) The Congress party today accused the Modi government of being involved in a massive scam worth hundreds of crores of rupees, linked to the sale of subsidised steel by the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL). According to the party, around 100 companies were provided steel at subsidised rates for infrastructure projects, but instead of using it for the intended purpose, they allegedly resold it at higher prices, making huge profits. Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters here, senior party leader Ajoy Kumar claimed that an officer Rajiv Bhatia, who flagged the scam, was instead victimised and forced to take voluntary retirement. He alleged that 100 companies were provided eleven lakh tons of steel at subsidised price by the SAIL for infrastructure project. Instead of using the steel themselves, they straightway sold it further thus making huge profits. He said, when an honest officer Rajiv Bhatia exposed the scandal, he was suspended for 10 months without any valid reason. Later, he was deliberately accused of poor performance and involvement in corruption. Kumar further said that, on the other hand, over two dozen officials who had been suspended during the investigation of the scam were reinstated under the pretext of the Lok Sabha elections. He claimed that one of the companies, Venkatesh Infra Projects Limited, was registered just ten days before the allotment of contract worth Rs 750 crore. The company directly sold the steel received under the contract, making a profit of about Rs 80 to 90 crore. While the company made the profits, the transportation charges were paid by the SAIL. Wondering what were enforcement agencies like ED doing, Ajoy pointed out that it had initiated investigations against 25 Opposition leaders, 23 of whom joined the BJP, after which cases against them were either closed or shelved. He cited the examples of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Praful Patel, Ashok Chavan in this context. UNI RBE RN
