Jaipur Diary: Rajiv Sharma takes charge as Rajasthan top cop
Rajiv Sharma takes charge as Raj top cop Rajasthan finally has a new top cop! 1990-batch IPS officer Rajiv Sharma has been appointed as the state's Director General of Police (DGP) and has officially taken charge at the Police HQ. Though three names were shortlisted, Sharma was always the frontrunner. The state government even recalled him from central deputation — and word is, his OBC background played a key role in sealing the deal. Now, with Sharma in the hot seat, talk of a major police reshuffle is heating up. The transfer list could drop any day, keeping senior officers on their toes! Shekhawat vs Gehlot gets close & personal The old rivalry between Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has flared up again, and it's anything but polite. During a fiery visit to his hometown, Shekhawat launched a scathing attack on Gehlot over the infamous Sanjivani scam — but it wasn't just political anymore. Shekhawat accused Gehlot of crossing all limits by dragging his late mother into the controversy, calling the remarks 'unpardonable' and 'deeply personal.' And here's the kicker — when asked if he'd consider withdrawing the defamation suit against Gehlot, Shekhawat's answer was a flat 'No compromise.' 'Political eviction' turns X into battleground MP Hanuman Beniwal and his party leaders have been slapped with notices to vacate their government bungalows and MLA quarters — and the deadline is ticking: July 11. But this isn't just routine eviction, it's turned into a full-blown digital drama! To spice it up even more, reports say Beniwal's electricity connection at the residence has been cut — and now it's not just about bungalows, it's about bruised egos and political payback. The moment the notice dropped, Beniwal's supporters lit up X with fiery hashtags demanding CM Bhajanlal Sharma's ouster. Bhajanlal camp fired back, turning the timeline into a battleground. Insiders suggest, BJP and Congress leaders who've long had issues with Beniwal are quietly toasting this move. Rajesh Asnani Our correspondent in Jaipur

24 Gadchiroli Guardians Charged For Allowing Minors To Drive Without Licence
Nagpur: In a stringent crackdown on traffic violations, Gadchiroli Police registered cases against 24 guardians for permitting their minor children to operate two-wheelers without valid licences. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The action was taken during a special checkpoint operation conducted at five key locations across the city on June 29 and July 3, aimed at curbing rising accidents and ensuring disciplined traffic movement. The initiative comes in response to an alarming increase in road accidents in Gadchiroli, a district once known as a backward Maoist hotbed but now rapidly transforming into a steel hub. Economic development and a surge in personal vehicle ownership have led to growing traffic congestion, reckless driving, other violations, and a spike in accidents, particularly involving minors. Superintendent of Police (SP) Gadchiroli, Neelotpal, issued directives to enforce strict legal action against errant drivers to promote road safety. "The spurt in sales of two-wheelers has come with a challenge for police to enforce the traffic rules as urbanisation in Gadchiroli after the Maoist fall is significant. We have observed a striking rise in minors engaging in rash two-wheeler driving and involving in critical accidents," said Neelotpal. During the recent operation, police identified several minors riding two-wheelers without licences, holding their guardians accountable under Section 199(A) of the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Act, 2019. This law imposes severe penalties on guardians or vehicle owners who allow minors to drive, including up to three years of imprisonment, a fine of Rs25,000, or both. Minors involved face proceedings under the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015, before the Juvenile Justice Board. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The police also seized vehicles involved in these violations, signalling a zero-tolerance approach. SP Neelotpal emphasized, "Allowing minors to drive without licence endangers lives and disrupts public safety. Parents must ensure compliance with traffic rules." He warned that enforcement drives would intensify to maintain vigilance. Gadchiroli's rapid economic growth has brought new challenges. Once plagued by insurgency, the district is now witnessing increased vehicular traffic due to industrial projects and improved connectivity. The establishment of steel plants and infrastructure development has attracted workers and businesses, boosting vehicle ownership. However, this progress has been marred by a rise in social and traffic-related crimes, said a police source. Unregulated driving, speeding, and underage driving have contributed to a 30% increase in road accidents over the past year, according to police data. The district's transformation into a steel hub has amplified the need for robust traffic management to prevent further chaos on its roads. The operation was led by SP Neelotpal, with additional SP (Administration) Satya Sai Karthik, additional SP Gadchiroli Gokul Raj, and sub-divisional police officer Suraj Jagtap overseeing the effort. Inspector Vinod Chavan of Gadchiroli Police Station, along with traffic branch sub-inspector Sharad Meshram and other personnel, executed the campaign with precision.
