Accused of killing live-in partner faced domestic violence charge by wife
Police reported that Sachin allegedly discovered some WhatsApp chats, leading to a confrontation. When he questioned her, the deceased reportedly began arguing. The situation escalated into a physical altercation during which Sachin grabbed her neck. He claimed she fell unconscious shortly after and collapsed on the bed when he released her.
At that moment, Sachin received a call from his friend regarding an urgent matter.
Believing the woman had only fainted, he sprinkled water on her but received no response. Assuming she would regain consciousness soon, he left for his friend's place, where he spent the night.
When Sachin returned the next morning, the woman remained in the same position on the bed, and the door was exactly as he had left it. Realising the gravity of the situation, he panicked, wrapped her body in plastic sacks and blankets, and left the house.
He then spent the following day wandering and contemplating his next steps. On Sunday, after confiding in a friend named Anuj, he decided to surrender to the police.
Police stated that Sachin hailed from a well-off family in Sironj and previously operated an e-vehicle showroom in Bhopal. The deceased worked there as a receptionist, and the two began a relationship in 2022.
Shockingly, Sachin had already married another woman in 2023 in a love marriage.
His wife later filed a domestic violence complaint against him, leading to strained relations. The couple eventually filed for divorce, and the case remains pending in court.
After experiencing a loss in his business, Sachin started a new job. He also discussed marriage plans with the deceased's parents, and the couple began living together. The woman was employed as a saleswoman at an agri-products company in Bhanpur. The murder reportedly resulted from an argument about her conversations with her employer.
Bajaria police produced Sachin in court on Tuesday and secured a one-day police remand for further questioning.

The Uttar Pradesh Police busted an interstate drug-trafficking racket and arrested four people involved in smuggling high-grade marijuana. The police recovered 108 kilograms of ganja, approximately worth Rs 20-25 lakh, from Noida's Sector 88. The gang was smuggling the drugs from Odisha by hiding them inside empty inverter shells and transporting them via train, officials said. Shakti Mohan Avasthy, DCP Central Noida said, "Nearly 108 kg of marijuana has been seized. Their modus operandi was to hide around 6 kg of marijuana in each of 18 inverter bodies." In their post on X, UP Police took a dig at smugglers, acknowledging their "plan was clever, but the law was smarter." "Inverters are for power, not poison…. But the smugglers thought otherwise," they wrote. Inverters are for power, not poison…. But the smugglers thought otherwise.. ????

The police stated that Abdullah never went to school, Sovan studied until Class 5 and Shabaan and Sameer Hasan until Class 8. All four accused used to work as manual labourers to earn their livelihood. They told police during questioning that the plan for drug smuggling was hatched during a late-night drinking session when they got in touch with Ayush, a man based in Odisha, who allegedly runs a drug network. Ayush, who orchestrated the entire operation, was connected to them via WhatsApp. He arranged the plan to supply marijuana and helped conceal the drugs inside the inverter body. They would take out the inverter shells at railway stations with no or minimal security checks, according to a report. After that, they would transport it to a secure location in Noida and from there, the drugs were distributed among local dealers, who further sold them to hostel and college students across Noida. The investigation to catch the kingpin of the racket is underway.

Three arrested for stock trading and investment fraud by Hyderabad cybercrime police
The cybercrime police of Hyderabad have arrested three people in two separate financial fraud cases involving fake stock trading and investment schemes. The total losses to the victims run into several lakhs, with the accused using social media platforms and unauthorised apps to lure unsuspecting investors. In the first case, the police arrested two men from Gujarat for their role in a stock trading fraud. The accused have been identified as Mehulbhai Devrajbhai Ramani, 37, a scrap dealer from Surat, and Hardik Kumar Gondaliya, 26, a private employee from Rajkot. The duo targeted a 57-year-old private employee from Hyderabad by sending him a WhatsApp message with trading tips and directly adding him to a group called 'SMC 912'. The victim was then directed to consult a 'customer care representative' who guided him through a series of transactions. Believing the scheme to be legitimate, the victim transferred a total of ₹67,60,049 to mule bank accounts under the pretext of stock trading. Once the money was deposited, the accused blocked the victim and stopped all communication. Police said the same modus operandi was used to target multiple individuals across the country. The accused provided fake trading advice through WhatsApp, collected money into mule accounts, and cut off contact after the fraud was complete. Two mobile phones and ₹1 lakh in cash were recovered from the accused. In a second case, the police arrested Manish Kumar Sharma, 34, an unemployed man from Delhi, who was wanted in connection with an online investment fraud. He was picked up at the Delhi Airport and is reportedly involved in at least 114 cases across India, including 22 in Telangana. A 39-year-old man from Hyderabad was directed by a friend to use an app called Costa Well Grown, with a link to an APK file. After installing and logging into the app, the victim made multiple deposits into various bank accounts based on promises of daily profits. Initially, small withdrawals were allowed to build trust. However, after he invested a total of ₹6,16,918, the app blocked further withdrawals. Police said Sharma played the role of account holder and OTP operator. He used an APK file named 'FORWARD SMS' to intercept messages and control accounts remotely. The accused used Telegram, WhatsApp, and phone calls to reach victims and promised returns of two to three times the original investment. One mobile phone was seized from the accused. Investigations are underway in both the cases. Victims of cyber fraud can contact the helpline at 1930 or file complaints at
