Will give my best for people's safety: Bengaluru's new police chief
"Our police force is good. I believe in teamwork.
I will put our team together and ensure there is peace and calmness in the city. We are capable enough to provide total security to citizens; no one should worry about anything," Singh told TOI.
"The police setup is doing excellent work. The focus will be on basic policing, ensuring there is a cordial relationship between the public and police," Singh said.
"Policing is a dynamic concept depending on the nature of the population, area and increase in crime.
We have to keep working on it... I am hoping from the constable to the police commissioner, all will perform in a way that we can give our best to society," he said.
"Traffic is a key factor. I will certainly look into the issue and take necessary measures," Singh added.
New Cubbon Park ACP, inspector
After taking charge, Singh posted a new assistant commissioner of police to Cubbon Park subdivision and a new inspector to Cubbon Park police station. ACP B Ramachandra, who was in city crime records bureau (CCRB), has been given additional charge of Cubbon Park sub-division. Inspector KS Devendrappa, attached to Central Crime Branch, has been posted to Cubbon Park station. These two officers will hold charge until the govt posts new officers.

Allahabad High Court Grants Bail To Man Accused Of Killing Wife During Argument Over Property
Last Updated: The man, believed to have left the house after killing his wife, was discovered nearly 15 hours later hiding inside a storeroom of the same house. The Allahabad High Court has granted bail to Nitin Nath Singh, a retired Indian Information Service (IIS) officer accused of murdering his wife, Renu Sinha — a practising advocate at the Delhi High Court — at their Noida residence in September 2023. Renu Sinha was found dead in the bathroom of her bungalow in Sector-30, Noida, on September 10, 2023. Her brother Ajay Kumar, a journalist, filed the complaint after she failed to respond to calls for over a day. Upon reaching the residence with a friend, Kumar found the house locked. Police were called, and after forcing entry, they discovered her body bearing multiple injuries. A post-mortem confirmed death by manual strangulation. Her husband, Nitin Nath Singh, believed to have left the house, was discovered nearly 15 hours later hiding inside a storeroom of the same house. CCTV footage and witness accounts indicated he had never exited the premises. As per media reports, Singh had stocked the room with cigarettes and water and remained inside even as police, sniffer dogs, and a search team combed the house. The prosecution alleged that Singh and his wife were involved in a property dispute. The couple had entered into a Rs 4.5 crore sale agreement for the Noida property and received Rs 55 lakh as advance. However, Renu reportedly opposed the deal later, especially after learning that Singh had accepted Rs 3 crore. The argument over the property sale is believed to have escalated, leading to her murder. Witnesses, including domestic help and police officers, testified about the accused's strained relationship with his wife and son. Renu had earlier filed a 2016 FIR against Singh for domestic violence. The police also cited Singh's dual passports — Indian and British — to flag him as a flight risk. Singh's counsel, however, alleged a conspiracy by the informant brother-in-law Ajay Kumar, claiming he wanted the property transferred to his name. They argued the arrest was manipulated and that Singh had been cooperating with the authorities. The bench of Justice Siddharth, while noting the seriousness of the charges, observed that Singh is a senior citizen, not a hardened criminal, and had already spent over nine months in custody. Cited Article 21 of the Constitution and recent Supreme Court guidelines on jail overcrowding to extend bail. As conditions for bail, court directed Singh to surrender both passports, barred him from leaving India without permission, and warned against tampering with evidence. Court further directed that he must attend all trial hearings without seeking adjournments when witnesses are present. Any violation could lead to cancellation of bail.

Serial killer 'Bansi' who killed taxi drivers and dumped bodies in remote hilly areas arrested by Delhi Police
A man who had been on the run for 25 years in connection with multiple robbery and murder cases has been arrested by Delhi Police . The accused, Ajay Lamba — alias Bansi — had been declared a proclaimed offender and was wanted in four cases registered between 1999 and 2001 in Delhi and Uttarakhand, reported TOI. According to police, he was involved in a string of brutal crimes where he hired taxi drivers, killed them, and then looted and sold their vehicles across the border. Lamba, a resident of Krishna Nagar in Delhi, was arrested by the Crime Branch following extensive technical and manual surveillance. Officials said he was wanted in a murder case registered at the New Ashok Nagar police station. 'He had been evading arrest since 2001 and was declared a proclaimed offender in all four cases,' a senior officer told TOI. Live Events Lamba had dropped out of school after Class VI and was declared a "bad character" by Vikas Puri police in his early years. In 1996, he changed his name and moved to Bareilly, where he teamed up with Dhirendra and Dilip Negi. The trio's modus operandi, police said, involved hiring taxis, killing the drivers, looting the vehicles, and dumping the bodies in isolated mountainous regions to avoid detection. The stolen vehicles were then allegedly resold in Nepal. According to police, Lamba lived in Nepal from 2008 to 2018 before relocating to Dehradun with his family. By 2020, he had allegedly become involved in an interstate ganja supply network, sourcing the drug from Odisha and distributing it to Delhi and other states. He was arrested in 2021 by Delhi's Sagarpur police in a narcotics case under the NDPS Act, and again in 2024 in connection with a jewellery shop dacoity in Behrampur, Odisha. He was out on bail in both cases. Police said Lamba never revealed his true identity or his absconding status during either arrest.
