90% summons served via online in Haryana, says secretary
Under the new criminal laws, witness examination has now extended beyond traditional courtrooms, as witnesses can now be examined at "designated places" which include govt offices, banks, and other such places. A total of 2,117 designated places have been set up for witness via audio/video electronic means across all districts, enhancing accessibility and convenience.
Additional chief secretary (home) Sumita Misra said the state's digital policing leap is anchored by the full-scale implementation of platforms like eSummon and eSakshya.

"Over 91% of summonses are now issued electronically, while 100% of searches and seizures are digitally recorded. Notably, 67.5% of witness and complainant statements are being captured using the eSakshya mobile application, standardising evidence collection and improving transparency across investigations," said Mishra.
To expedite the trial in cases of crime against children and ensure swift justice, fast track special courts under the Pocso Act have been set up in Gurgaon, Faridabad, and Panchkula, she said, adding, "This will ensure swift trials in heinous crimes against women and children."
During her visit to an exhibition on the three new criminals laws at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, Misra said the backbone of Haryana's reforms is a massive capacity-building initiative that has trained over 54,000 police personnel in the nuanced provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. The training emphasized not only legal understanding but also victim-sensitive investigation, digital integration, and modern evidence handling.
In parallel, over 37,800 officers have been onboarded onto the iGOT Karmayogi platform, promoting continuous, self-paced legal education, one of the most extensive digital skilling drives among state police forces, she added.
"Haryana has made tremendous and exemplary progress in this direction, and 2,117 designated places have been set up for witness examination via audio/video electronic means across all districts, thereby significantly enhancing accessibility and convenience," Misra added.
Also, the state has expanded its forensic infrastructure, with mobile vans deployed in every district and two in larger districts. A Rs 68.70 crore investment has enabled the procurement of modern cyber forensic tools. The govt has approved 208 new forensic posts, with 186 vacancies already filled, further strengthening investigative depth.

Meet world's poorest man alive, once top trader, got 5-year sentence, caused Rs 49500000000000 loss to..., his name is...
Meet world's poorest man alive, once top trader, got 5-year sentence, caused Rs 49500000000000 loss to..., his name is... When we think of the richest individuals in the world, names such as Elon Musk, Mukesh Ambani, Gautam Adani, and Jeff Bezos come to our minds. But have you ever wondered whose world's poorest person is? Well, pictures of huts, an empty steel bowl, and torn clothes are associated with the 'beggar' word. At first glance, Jerome Kerviel might seem like an ordinary man walking around the streets of Paris. However, his story is not a normal one! Instead of poverty being shown in his clothing, food, or home, Jérôme Kerviel carries a financial burden so large that it caused a global market shock. And ultimately, he earned the title of being 'the world's poorest man.' Who is Jérôme Kerviel? In this article, we are talking about Jérôme Kerviel, a Frenchman who is now considered to be the world's poorest and most indebted person. He is buried under a debt of nearly Rs 4.95 lakh crore (around $6.7 billion). Being poor does not always mean empty pockets. Born on January 11, 1977, in a small French town called Pont-l'Abbé, Jerome hailed from a modest family. Speaking about his personal life, Jerome's mother was a hairdresser, while his father worked as a blacksmith. Jérôme was a good student. He completed his master's degree in Finance from Lumière Université Lumière Lyon 2. Soon after completing his studies, he was hired by Société Generale, which is the third-largest bank in France. At the bank, he worked as a junior derivatives trader. However, his knowledge of technology and excellent trading ability led him to cover millions of dollars in deals. He was always part of the bank's Delta One division, which deals with share trading, algorithms, and investments. Jérôme had a vast knowledge of computer programming and trading systems; however, he misused this knowledge and expertise, turning it into wrongful use. Jérôme had been misusing vulnerabilities in the bank's internal systems to perform arbitrage. During this period, he traded billions of dollars utilizing the company's capital. At first, he made huge profits, executing trades worth almost $73 billion in a calendar year. It is noted that the bank remained aware of this practice for a very long time, as Jérôme used technology to hide every irregularity. However, in 2008, the fraud became apparent, and an investigation began. On January 19, 2008, the scandal was revealed, shocking the bank and everyone around it. Upon inquiry into the controversy, it was determined that Jérôme's unauthorized trading incurred an approximate loss of $7.2 billion, which is over Rs 4,95,000 crore, to the bank. This amount has become a debt burden against him, making him one of the poorest people in the world. After the incident, Jérôme received a 3-year prison sentence in 2015. He pleaded guilty to several charges, including breach of trust, fraud, and unauthorized access to computer systems. While his sentence is completed, the debt burden still remains today. Upon his release from prison, Jérôme is trying to live a life of simplicity, but the weight of debt still leaves him one of the poorest people in the world. Some argue he didn't act with intent; others would say he acted out of greed and took advantage of the system. Here's the bottom line: a man who once traded millions on a bank's trading desk is now labeled as the poorest person in the world.

Court grants bail to woman accused of pouring hot water mixed with chilli to kill husband
New Delhi [India], July 12 (ANI): Delhi's Tis Hazari Court has granted bail to a woman accused of pouring hot water mixed with chilli powder on her husband to kill him. This case pertains to an FIR registered at Nangloi Police Station. A charge sheet has been filed after an investigation. Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Saurabh Kulshrestha granted bail to the accused Jyoti alias Kittu after considering that, as per MLC, the victim has suffered simple injuries. 'Insofar as the issue regarding threats to the victim and the witnesses is concerned, the same can be taken care of by imposing appropriate conditions, the court said. 'Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, the applicant or accused Jyoti alias Kittu is ordered to be admitted to regular bail on furnishing a bail bond in the sum of Rs 30,000 with one surety in the like amount,' said ASJ Kulshrestha on July 9. It is alleged that on 01.01.2025, the accused, who was to kill her husband, had poured boiling water mixed with red chilli powder on the face, mouth and chest of the victim. When she was questioned by him, she stated 'tujhe to jaan se marna hi hai' (I want to kill you). Thereafter, the accused bolted the door of the room from outside and fled from there after taking the victim's mobile phone so that he could not call anyone for help. The victim broke down the window, stepped onto the balcony and screamed for help. Afterwards, his landlord, Vikas, came there, and the victim was taken to the hospital. Counsel for the accused, while arguing for bail, submitted that the accused had been falsely implicated and she had been a victim of domestic violence at the hands of the accused, and she had earlier also filed a complaint against him on November 19, 2024. On the other hand, while opposing the bail plea, the counsel for the complainant stated that immediately prior to the incident, the complainant had made a police complaint against the accused. It was further stated that the applicant or accused was earlier married and had taken a divorce, and has a daughter from a previous marriage. This fact was not disclosed to the complainant before his marriage to the accused. (ANI)
