Red Fort Security Breach: 7 Cops Suspended After Dummy Bomb Goes Undetected In Drill
Last Updated: Seven Delhi Police personnel were suspended for "negligence" during mock drill ahead of the Independence Day celebrations. A major security breach took place at Red Fort in the national capital, where a mock drill conducted by the Delhi Police's Special Cell before the Independence Day event allowed a team to enter the fort with a dummy bomb, officials said on Tuesday. In response to the security lapse, seven police personnel on duty were immediately suspended and are now facing investigation. DCP Raja Banthia has ordered a thorough review and strengthening of security measures. Red Fort is a high-security zone, especially during weeks in the run-up to the Independence Day celebrations, when the Prime Minister hoists the Tricolour and addresses the nation from its ramparts. Any security breach at the Red Fort is considered serious due to the potential threat from terrorists. Meanwhile, five Bangladeshi nationals were caught trying to enter the Red Fort illegally on Monday. 'All of them are illegal immigrants. They tried to forcibly enter the Red Fort premises," the police said. 'The police have recovered some Bangladeshi documents from them. Currently, they are being interrogated," officials said. They were found with fake Aadhaar cards and were sent to a detention center, officials said. Security arrangements at the Red Fort have been further strengthened ahead of August 15. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Classrooms To Couriers To Dark Web: How A Task Force Is Chasing Down The Drugs Nexus In Karnataka
Last Updated: Karnataka has stressed on the need to curb unauthorised sales of synthetic and psychotropic drugs, instructing police to adopt the Belagavi model involving prosecution of consumers The formation of the anti-narcotic task force in Karnataka has significantly enhanced efforts to combat the drug menace in the state. The Bengaluru City police have mandated the establishment of an anti-drugs wing at all schools and colleges to monitor, trace, and eradicate drugs and their associated networks. With a notable increase in drug use among students and teenagers, they have intensified their approach by targeting consumers, a shift from previous practices. Bengaluru has experienced one of its largest drug seizures, with over Rs 60 crore worth of narcotics confiscated so far. 'That's why we are building on our intelligence network in educational institutions as well. We understand we have to catch them at the initial stage so that they don't go down the wrong path later in life," Bengaluru Police Commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh told News18. In 2024, addressing the surge in drug abuse in educational institutions, the Karnataka government implemented a comprehensive plan. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced a student policing system to oversee schools, colleges, and hostels, incorporating NCC and NSS units to identify and report drug-related issues. The state government officially established the anti-narcotic task force (ANTF), which will operate under the supervision of the DG and IGP, and report to the ADGP, Cyber Command, functioning statewide. This initiative followed Siddaramaiah's push for a ministerial task force to dismantle drug networks across the state. The home department will also create an Anti-Drug Control Commissioner position to collaborate with the Drug Controller Board under the health department, led by an IPS officer. The Bengaluru police stress a holistic approach to tackle the drug menace, with them playing a vital role supported by other departments and society. They are fostering awareness, collecting information, booking cases, and maintaining a zero-tolerance policy. Singh said constantly tracing the origin and movement of drugs is essential. 'In a big city like Bengaluru, it's a constant challenge. Every time we crack down, they come up with new ways to get drugs in. Recently, we seized drugs sent through post offices, parcels via private couriers, and even online sales. Then there's the Dark Web — that's another major problem," he said. The newly formed ANTF includes 10 new positions — two additional SPs, two ACPs to oversee narcotics cases — and absorbs 56 personnel from the anti-Naxal force (ANF), including two police inspectors and four sub-inspectors. The state has stressed on the need to curb unauthorised sales of synthetic and psychotropic drugs, especially in medical shops, instructing police to adopt the Belagavi model, which involves prosecuting drug consumers, not just suppliers. Given Belagavi's proximity to other states and its location along a known drug corridor into Goa, this approach has seen a surge in drug cases. 'Booking the consumer helps track the source and network — and also acts as a strong deterrent," said another senior police officer. The ANTF will also bring in outsourced experts — legal, forensic, and data analysts. The government has established a Cyber Crime Prevention Unit and renamed 43 Cyber, Economic, and Narcotics (CEN) police stations as cyber crime stations, registering cases under the IT Act and BNS sections related to cyber crimes. The CEN will track and trace drug rings, many now operating on the Dark Web. The estimated annual recurring expenditure for the ANTF is around Rs 2.77 crore. State home minister G Parameshwara said the task force will work like a rapid-response team. 'They act wherever the information comes from. We've already given instructions to every SP," he said. All police officials and related departments will be trained on the MAP-Drugs app to address drug abuse and booking. District-wise targets will be set to curb drug abuse, and sub-committees modeled on the ANTF will coordinate efforts across districts. The state has intensified airport checks and advised including customs, DRI, and other agencies, including the recently formed ANTF, in coordination meetings. Strict measures are planned against unregistered pharmaceutical firms, and all pharmacies have been instructed to display boards stating: 'Sale without doctor's prescription is prohibited'. view comments First Published: August 05, 2025, 09:00 IST News india Classrooms To Couriers To Dark Web: How A Task Force Is Chasing Down The Drugs Nexus In Karnataka Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Indian manager wants employees to work on weekends; they refuse, then his ultimatum: ‘Either you have to…'
A viral Reddit post has reignited discussions around toxic workplaces after an Indian manager allegedly asked employees to either work full 8-hour shifts on weekends or extend their daily hours by two hours for the next three weeks. The post included a screenshot of a WhatsApp chat, which the user claimed came from a friend's group. 'This screenshot is from my friend's WhatsApp group – the last msg is from her manager apparently having the audacity to normalise working on weekends,' the user wrote. In the image, one employee is seen explaining, 'I have commitments and plans so unable to work on Saturdays and Sundays if possible I will try to complete.' Several others echoed similar sentiments, saying they wouldn't be able to work over the weekend. The manager responded strongly, warning that the matter would be addressed with the entire team on Monday. 'This is not going to work, we need to plan something else, I will address the complete team on Monday, either we have to report to office on Saturday and Sundays for complete 8 hours or need to extend the shift on a daily basis for 2 hours for next three kindly prepare your mindset and come to work on Monday,' the message read. The Reddit post came from an unverified user, and Mint has not independently confirmed the authenticity of the screenshot. Screengrab from the viral post. The post triggered outrage online, with many criticising the manager's behaviour. 'They are literally stealing his labour. Refuse tactfully. If that doesn't work, refuse directly. Of course, he needs a new job soon,' wrote one user. Another said, 'They do it to reach you outside of work timings – they have no shame about it. Unless it's a genuine emergency, I simply ignore their calls/messages. I even had to block a colleague.' A third user noted the importance of documentation: 'Teams is documented. When they make requests like this, they don't want evidence. If someone goes to court, they can say it was a rogue manager. But on Teams, every message is logged; they can't do that.' Another person advised, 'Absolutely do not work a second on the weekend unless it's your own fault for not being able to in the week. Very slippery slope. Pretty sure none of us gets paid overtime for that.' In a separate incident also shared on Reddit, a software developer claimed they were being pressured into working 20 extra hours per week, without any pay. 'That's 3 hours every weekday after work and my weekends completely gone,' the employee said, adding, 'It's unpaid, non-negotiable, and they've made it clear that if I want to grow here, I have to do this.'
