Eloping couple held for stealing gold worth 15L from shelter givers' home in Junagadh
Rajkot: A newlywed couple who eloped and sought refuge at a relative's home has been arrested for stealing gold ornaments worth Rs 15 lakh from the same house. The accused, Aakash Kyada (26) and his wife Rushika (25), were arrested from their native village Ambaliya on Monday after returning to meet family members. According to Junagadh Taluka police, Aakash had incurred losses in the stock market and planned the theft to repay his debts. "He took advantage of the trust shown by his relatives and executed the plan during their stay," said inspector RP Vanzara. The complaint was filed by Jayesh Patel, a resident of Bhiyal village. Patel stated that the couple arrived at his house around 1:30 am on May 21. Aakash, a cousin of Jayesh's sister-in-law Bhavisha, introduced Rushika as his wife and claimed they needed temporary shelter because her family disapproved of their marriage and they feared for their safety.

Owner of Rottweiler that mauled infant to death arrested, dog impounded
The Cattle Nuisance Control Department (CNCD) of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) impounded a pet Rottweiler on Tuesday after it mauled a four-month-old baby to death and injured her aunt in a residential society in Ahmedabad on Monday night. The dog's owner, Dilip Ganpat Patel, was booked for causing death by negligence and arrested by the Ahmedabad Rural Police on Wednesday morning. The dog is currently being held at the civic body's dog shelter. In January, the AMC had launched a registration drive for pet dogs under its rabies control programme. Of the 5,520 pet dogs registered by 4,848 owners, not a single Rottweiler was listed. Dashrath Jasu Chauhan (42), a key maker who resides at Radhey Residency in Hathijan and sells his wares near Maninagar railway station, filed a complaint against Dilip Ganpat Patel. Chauhan is the grandfather of the deceased infant. According to the FIR filed at Vivekanand Nagar police station, on the night of May 12 around 9:30 p.m., Chauhan was informed by society members that Dilip Patel's Rottweiler, Rocky, had attacked his 17-year-old daughter Heena and four-month-old granddaughter Rushika, the child of his elder daughter Punja. When he reached LG Hospital, he found his granddaughter with bite marks on her head and Heena with injuries on her waist and stomach. By 10:45 p.m., doctors declared Rushika dead. Initially, the family declined a post-mortem and conducted the child's last rites, burying her along the Vatrak River in Mahemdabad, Kheda district. However, after persuasion from police and relatives, Rushika's parents consented to the post-mortem. Her body was exhumed and the procedure conducted at the Community Health Centre (CHC) in Mahemdabad. Dilip Ganpat Patel was booked under BNS Section 106(1) (causing death by negligence) and Section 291 (negligent conduct with respect to animals) at the Vivekanand Nagar police station on Tuesday night and arrested the following morning, confirmed Deputy Superintendent of Police Neelam Goswami. According to authorities, the incident occurred when Heena took Rushika to the society's common garden area. A woman was walking the Rottweiler, which suddenly became aggressive and attacked both the infant and her aunt. The baby succumbed to her injuries, and Heena was admitted to the AMC-run LG Hospital. On May 13, the site was inspected by the CNCD superintendent, a police inspector, and a veterinarian. At that time, neither the dog nor its owner was present at the residence. Later, the Vivekanand Nagar police brought Dilip Patel to the police station for interrogation and further action was initiated. The dog was seized by staff from Memnagar police station with assistance from CNCD's dog-catching unit and was taken to AMC's dog shelter. Under the 'Rabies-Free Ahmedabad City 2030' campaign, pet registration began on January 1, 2025. Despite multiple public notices, the Rottweiler's owner failed to register the animal, AMC officials stated. Among registered breeds are German Shepherd, Labrador, Golden Retriever, Shih Tzu, Pomeranian, Pug, Doberman, and Husky. The highest number of registrations has been reported in the West Zone, with 1,484 dogs registered by 1,299 owners, followed by the North-West Zone, where 1,283 dogs are registered by 1,123 owners.
