‘Mane Manege Police' initiative launched in Udupi district
Speaking after launching the initiative, Mr. Gangannanavar said it was good to note police services would reach every household in the district. Appreciating the initiative, the judge hoped people would be made more aware of criminals lurking around them.
The initiative was taken up following a government circular issued on July 4 to sensitise people to become cautious about criminals. Police personnel would go through the 27 points mentioned in the circular and visit households in their jurisdiction for the awareness campaign.
They would spread awareness about cyber crime, crimes against children, substance abuse, and road safety tips. Police would also hear grievances if any, of the members of households they visit and try to solve them. They would note down names and telephone numbers of the senior residents of the households.
Upon launching, police personnel visited 28 houses in Udupi town, 45 in Manipal, 30 in Brahmavara, and 25 houses in Kota to create awareness.
The initiative would be taken up in all police station limits in the district over the next three months, said Superintendent of Police Hariram Shankar.

Afghan man arrested in Jabalpur for ‘illegally' obtaining Indian passport, running racket; two others held too
The Madhya Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has arrested a man from Afghanistan for allegedly getting an Indian passport using forged documents and two of his accomplices from Jabalpur, police said on Friday (August 1, 2025). As per a statement from the M.P. Police, the accused — identified as Sohbat Khan, currently residing in Jabalpur, Dinesh Garg and Mahendra Kumar Sukhdan, both residents of Jabalpur — were arrested based on a tip off received by the city unit of the ATS. Mr. Garg is a forest guard in the Forest Guard and has been working in the election cell of the Jabalpur Collectorate for the past two years, the police said. 'The Jabalpur unit of the ATS had received a tip off from an informer that some Afghanistan nationals were living illegally in the city. Sohbat was living illegally in Jabalpur for the last 10 years and he had also married a local woman,' the police said. Apart from having obtained his own passport using fake documents, Mr. Khan was also getting Indian passports made for his Afghan friends living in West Bengal and Chhattisgarh by preparing documents on wrong addresses in Jabalpur and taking money for them, the police added. 'So far, the ATS has received information about about 20 such Afghan youths whose passports were tried to be made from Jabalpur addresses, out of which passports of Akbar and Iqbal, residents of West Bengal, have been made from fake addresses of Jabalpur,' it said, adding that information about transactions of about ₹10 lakh has been obtained so far. The police said that Mr. Khan is being questioned to find out about the people helping him in securing police verification, fake addresses from the post office and other necessary documents required for passports.

NIA Arrests 2nd Suspect In Killing Of 6 Meiteis Including 3 Children In Manipur's Jiribam
New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has made a second consecutive arrest in the case of killing of three Meitei women and three children in Manipur's Jiribam district in November 2024. The NIA arrested Lalrosang Hmar alias Rosang from Mizoram's capital Aizawl on Thursday, the NIA said. He is a resident of Assam's Cachar district, neighbouring Jiribam. The first accused, Thanglienlal Hmar, was also arrested yesterday from Aizawl by a joint NIA-Assam Police team. Lalrosang was an active conspirator in the crime; the NIA recovered a mobile phone and a SIM card from him, which will be examined, the NIA said. The arrest comes three weeks after the Manipur High Court ordered the NIA to give a report on the case, and three days after it ordered the NIA to file a chargesheet within a month. The members of the Meitei community who were kidnapped from Jiribam, a district bordering Assam, and whose mutilated bodies were found floating in a river days later, were Yumrembam Rani Devi (60), Telem Thoibi Devi (31) and her daughter Telem Thajamanbi Devi (8), Laishram Heithoibi Devi (25) and her two children Laishram Chingkheinganba Singh (2.5 years old) and Laishram Lamnganba Singh (10 months old). At that time, the Manipur cabinet in a resolution had called the suspects "Kuki militants". The arrested suspect, however, belongs to the Hmar tribe, a distinct tribe and not part of the Kuki nomenclature. The Kukis in Manipur along with the Zomi and Hmar tribes have been rallying behind the banner of "Kuki-Zo" since ethnic violence with the Meiteis began in May 2023. The women and children were kidnapped from Jiribam's Bokobera neighbourhood while another group of militants were engaged in a gunfight with the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). Ten of the militants were shot dead in the encounter.
