Cop's fake hospital photo strategy cracks minor's missing case
He clicked and sent a photo of her mother in hospital, creating a fake drama. The tactic worked as the girl immediately decided to return from Pune, where she went with her boyfriend in mid-July.
The girl reportedly eloped with a minor boy, leading to a kidnapping case at Nandgaon Peth police station, Amravati District. After meeting in Nagpur, the minor girl and her friend went to Wardha, Shegaon, Goa, and Bhusawal before reaching Pune in search of odd jobs.
The investigation hit a wall as the girl's phone was switched off, and the boy was using her Instagram account to communicate.
Faced with delays in obtaining digital information through Cyber Cell, head constable More devised a creative plan. He collaborated with a private hospital, explaining the urgency of the situation. To tug at the girl's emotions, the hospital staff staged a scene with the girl's mother in a hospital bed, appearing seriously ill.

Seer forced to quit Chamarajanagar mutt over Muslim roots
Mysuru: A 22-year-old seer was forced to quit a mutt at Gundlupet taluka in Chamarajanagar district on Sunday after a section of villagers objected to his role, citing his religious status as a Muslim prior to taking Basava Deeksha. Nijalinga Swamiji, 22, had taken 'deeksha' five years ago and was named Nijalinga Swamiji. He had joined the year-old mutt as its new seer a-month-and-a-half ago. However, he was forced to quit after his status as a Muslim before taking Basava Deeksha came to light, with some devotees alleging that he had not informed them about his religion by birth during anointment. The seer in question, though, told TOI everyone knew about his pre- 'deeksha' religion as he never hid it. Chamarajanagar SP BT Kavita said no police complaint was registered in connection with the incident. The Swamiji, who hails from Kalaburagi district, is an ardent follower of 'vachanas' and 'sharanas'. After taking 'deeksha', he was involved in the propagation of 'vachanas' across the state. "One of the devotees at the mutt approached my guru to send a seer to the mutt, and in keeping with the Guru's wish, I joined. I was involved in spreading 'vachana's in the villages," the Swamiji said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More He further told TOI: "Recently, a boy came across my Aadhaar Card details, where my pre-Basava Deeksha name was mentioned. He informed the villagers about it and a section of villagers forced me to quit the mutt." "An ardent follower of Basavanna's principles, I was hurt by the incident as I took 'deeksha' to spread the 'vachana's that preach brotherhood. I am totally cut off from my pre- 'deeksha' religion," the Swamiji said, adding: "I was forced to quit the mutt on the ground that I didn't disclose my pre-Basava Deeksha religion, but everyone knows about my pre-Basava Deeksha religion. I never hid it."

Judge Mayank Tripathy (II) said that the prosecution failed to establish the culpability and involvement of the accused in the road accident that occurred in 2010, beyond doubt. "Only documentary evidence is not enough to prove the culpability of the accused unless it is substantiated by the witnesses' accounts and circumstantial evidence leading to the incident," the court observed, acquitting the accused of all the charges. The incident dates back to March 9, 2010, when a Tata 407 pickup truck lost balance and overturned. Two people, Kunwarpal Sharma and Kripal Singh, sitting in the driver's cabin, died on the spot. Suresh Chandra Sharma, the brother of the deceased Kunwarpal, lodged an FIR on March 12, accusing the driver of negligent driving.

Prosecution witness 1 (PW1), Suresh, reiterated his statement that he lost his younger brother due to the negligence of the driver. However, when cross-examined by the defence, he admitted that he was not present at the accident spot. He also denied having entered into any out-of-court settlement with the accused, saying that he had already received compensation for his brother's death.
