DGP launches grievance redressal unit for cops
Lucknow: In a major initiative aimed at ensuring swift and transparent resolution of grievances raised by police personnel, the Police Grievance Redressal Unit (PGRU) has been set up in Sultanpur district under the direct supervision of DGP Prashant Kumar.
The initiative was implemented by Sultanpur SP Kunwar Anupam Singh, who formed the unit as a Single Window System to streamline the handling of service-related issues faced by police staff. The PGRU functions directly under the SP's supervision at the district police office.
An experienced inspector well-versed in police service matters was appointed as the in-charge of the unit. He can be contacted directly via CUG number 7755068810.
Through the PGRU, police personnel can now seek redressal for various service issues such as salary discrepancies, arrears, increment delays, GPF-related concerns, nominee/address/education record updates in character rolls, medical reimbursements, LPC delays, transfer documentation, and other general service-related matters.
A senior officer at the DGP Headquarters said that personnel can submit applications through respective station or branch in-charges, to any gazetted officer, during monthly Sainik Sammelans (police staff conferences), directly to the PGRU, and via WhatsApp at 7755068810.
The PGRU in-charge is responsible for coordinating with all concerned branches — and even inter-district offices if necessary — to ensure timely resolution, thus eliminating the need for personnel to visit multiple offices. The SP also engages directly with other districts when needed. The in-charge submits daily progress reports to the SP and informs concerned police personnel once their issue is resolved.

Supriya Sule: NCP to back Thackerays on Hindi stand
NAGPUR: NCP-SP working president and Baramati MP Supriya Sule on Saturday reiterated the party's stance against "imposing" Hindi, aligning with her father Sharad Pawar's views. "Language education is not a political issue. Subjects like health, education and history should stay above politics. Our party will participate in full strength in the Mumbai rally against imposition of Hindi. If directed by the party, I will also join the protest," she said. She also expressed disappointment over CM Devendra Fadnavis not responding to requests for meetings over key issues. "I've sought time to discuss issues like farm loan waivers and crop insurance. There is also a need to discuss the language issue."

B Pharma student among 3 arrested for online fraud
Lucknow: UP STF on Friday arrested three persons, including a B Pharma student, from Bhopal for a cyber scam in which they lured victims through social media platforms by promising handsome returns on completing fake "tasks. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now " The trio was arrested from Danish Nagar, Hoshangabad Road, in a joint operation with Amethi Police. STF ASP Vishal Vikram Singh said: "Victims were invited to join private Telegram groups via fraudulent links, where they were enticed to complete small digital 'tasks' in exchange for inflated financial rewards. Initial earnings were credited into fake wallets to build trust, but as victims invested more, they were trapped in an endless cycle of deposits, losing lakhs in the process." Those arrested included the alleged mastermind and a B Pharma student at Bhabha University, Bhopal, Shivansh Mishra (22) of Shahdol (MP). His childhood friend Ravi Singh (23) also from Shahdol, and maternal uncle Umashankar Tiwari (43) of Bhopal were also arrested. Police also seized three mobiles, 16 debit cards, 15 cheque books, nine bank passbooks and 359 screenshots of incriminating WhatsApp conversations related to cyber fraud, one PAN card, one driving licence, and one IGT Solutions employee ID card. One of the complainants, Ashish Vikram Singh from Amethi, filed an FIR, detailing how he was targeted. Ashish received a Facebook link promoting a "work-from-home reward scheme." Upon clicking, he was added to a Telegram group where he was assigned digital tasks. After depositing Rs10,000, he received a bonus of Rs 2,512, giving the appearance of legitimacy. Encouraged, Ashish completed 28 rounds of "tasks". At one point, a balance of Rs 9.13 lakh appeared in the digital wallet, and he was promised he could withdraw it after completing a final task worth Rs 3.16 lakh. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But when he attempted to withdraw, he was told to deposit additional "security amounts" — first Rs 2.25 lakh, then Rs3 lakh more, and finally Rs 6.3 lakh for "VIP access." Ultimately, he was defrauded of Rs13 lakh. The ASP said Shivansh and Ravi were briefly recruited at a Bhopal call centre operated by IGT Solutions. There, they met cyber fraud recruiters — Zubair Khan, Saif Khan, and Anil Nayar and Amit Nayar — who ran a parallel racket involving rented bank accounts. For every new bank account with full access kits (ATM card, cheque book, SIM card, login credentials), Shivansh and the team were paid Rs15,000 and a share in the illicit earnings. They created nearly 50 bank accounts over the last year, often using forged documents or by convincing acquaintances. These accounts served as primary money mules.

Anomalies in land acquisition for Gorakhpur corridor: SP chief
Lucknow: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday alleged irregularities in the acquisition of land for the heritage corridor being built in Gorakhpur. Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters here, he demanded that the land compensation for the heritage corridor be determined based on market value rather than consent-based agreements. The SP chief alleged that "govt is forcibly getting traders and residents to sign the consent letter by putting pressure through the administration and police so that they do not have to pay more compensation." "If the people of Gorakhpur speak up and reveal the secrets, then instead of a heritage (virasat) corridor, a custody (hirasat) corridor will have to be built there," he said. Akhilesh claimed there were irregularities in land acquisition for other heritage projects also due to which the BJP had to face electoral reverses in these areas. "This is not just about one district, but the whole state. In this game, a few BJP leaders benefit while the public is being cheated," he said. He said this was the reason why "BJP lost in Ayodhya and narrowly escaped defeat in Varanasi in LS polls. Now it's the turn of Mathura and Gorakhpur". The SP chief alleged that BJP workers, in the presence of police, blocked roads and threw eggs and stones at vehicles of an SP delegation that went to Gorakhpur on June 25. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The anime RPG everyone's talking about is finally free!

Instead of the "fake heritage corridor", a corridor of development will be built when the SP govt will comes to office, he said. Targeting CM Yogi Adityanath, he said, "Think, he's building the heritage corridor now, when he's down to his last budget...." "If he truly wanted to do something for Gorakhpur, he should remember his first announcement... that he will build a metro (metro rail service) in Gorakhpur along with Jhansi," he said.
