GFX P2 Bhopal
Marked By Plaints Of Land Purchase & Threat To Wetland Site
The project, which was to start from well before Mandideep while coming from Jabalpur side, would now start from after Mandideep towards Bhopal, to avoid controversies that influential people purchased land on sides of the corridor soon after the corridor was announced
To address the environmental concerns near Upper Lake, officials have decided to come up with an over bridge at the point where the corridor raised environmental concerns by passing through wetlands
The 38 kilometers western highway would start from close to Mandideep (on Bhopal and Mandideep road) and end on Indore road in village Phanda Kalan
As per the initial plan, out of the total project cost worth close to Rs 3000 crore, Rs 427 crore would be for land acquisition, Rs 19 crore for utility shift, Rs 15 crore for environment management, apart from the corridor construction
After development of the western bypass, Mandideep industrial area would get directly linked with industrial capital Indore. Similarly, it is also expected to save time for people moving from Kolar towards Indore

2 Nepalese among 4 held for cyber fraud
1 2 Jaipur: Four men, including two Nepalese nationals and two Delhi residents, were arrested from a city hotel for their involvement in a cyber fraud operation with links to Chinese cybercriminals. The gang is believed to have facilitated fraudulent transactions worth Rs 24.4 crore, with complaints registered on the national cybercrime reporting portal from several states, including Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana. Police identified the accused as Lal Dorge Tamang and Suaj Tamang from Nepal, and Pawan Jain and Abbu Shahma from Delhi. The arrests were made following an FIR lodged earlier in 2025. Twelve mobile phones, one laptop, and three cheque books were recovered from the suspects during the operation. According to DCP (Crime) Kundan Kanwaria, the racket was led by Lal Dorge Tamang, a resident of Sindhupalchowk in Nepal. He created a well-organised network that supported Chinese cybercriminals by supplying them with mule bank accounts. These accounts were used to route illicit funds, and the accused managed them through social media platforms and encrypted messaging apps like Telegram. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The gang's modus operandi involved renting bank accounts from individuals in exchange for a commission. The account holders were instructed to install a suspicious APK file on their phones. Once installed, the app gave Chinese handlers remote access to the devices, allowing them to control the bank accounts and conduct transactions from afar. The commissions were paid in USDT, a cryptocurrency commonly used in illegal online operations. The suspects earned between 2 to 5 percent per transaction, with Lal Dorge receiving 4 to 5 percent from the Chinese operators. He, in turn, passed on 2 to 2.5 percent to the mule account holders. Police received a tip-off about suspicious individuals staying at Hotel Sanjay Palace near Polo Victory in Jaipur. Upon investigation, they found that these individuals were involved in procuring and renting out bank accounts to cybercriminal groups based in China. The investigation also revealed that Pawan Jain, a resident of Rohini North in Delhi, was in regular contact with a woman named Sushma, believed to be the mastermind behind the gang. Sushma, currently based in Dubai, served as the key link between the Chinese groups and their Indian and Nepalese associates.

Fatehabad constable's infant son battles rare genetic disorder, cops across 6 dists mobilise to raise funds
Hisar: Eight-month-old Yuvansh, the son of Fatehabad police's cyber cell constable Rajesh, is battling Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type-1 (SMA), one of the rarest and most severe genetic disorders affecting infants. His survival depends on a life-saving injection costing Rs 14.5 crore, which must be procured from Switzerland. In a show of solidarity, police departments across six districts have joined hands to help raise the required amount. Rohtak additional director general of police Y Puran Kumar has written to the superintendents of police (SPs) in Rohtak, Bhiwani, and Charkhi Dadri urging officers to donate one day's salary for the cause. SPs of Kaithal (Aastha Modi) and Sirsa (Mayank Gupta) have also issued similar appeals. Policemen in Fatehabad are contributing at the local level as well. It is estimated that if officers across these districts contribute one day's salary, it could generate a significant portion of the funds required. Constable Rajesh and his wife Kiran, a clerk in the food supply department, are receiving support not only from the police but also from employees of her department. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Public awareness campaigns and fundraising efforts have also gained traction on social media platforms. So far, around Rs 38 lakh has been collected through donations. Adampur MLA Chandraprakash has written to Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini seeking financial aid for Yuvansh's treatment. Constable Rajesh has also met Hisar ADGP K K Rao in his appeal for assistance. Yuvansh was born on April 9, 2024. His parents noticed that by the time he was two months old, he was not showing normal physical development. After consulting multiple doctors and undergoing various tests, the family received confirmation of SMA on May 18, 2025. The condition was further reviewed by doctors at PGI Chandigarh, who advised urgent administration of the Zolgensma gene therapy injection — considered one of the most expensive drugs in the world. Doctors emphasised that the injection must be administered before the age of two for the best possible outcome, followed by continued treatment for at least two to three months. In a desperate appeal, constable Rajesh has reached out to several prominent personalities and institutions for help. His pleas have been directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, CM Nayab Saini, actors Salman Khan and Sonu Sood, transport minister Anil Vij, MP Naveen Jindal, the Tata Foundation, industrialist Gautam Adani, and the Union health ministry. The campaign to save baby Yuvansh continues to gain momentum as citizens, officials, and well-wishers across the state rally in support. MSID:: 121993767 413 |

Insurer must cover compensation for accident involving relief vehicle, rules Karnataka high court
Bengaluru: Karnataka high court has ruled that the insurance company must cover compensation for an accident involving a relief or spare vehicle used following the breakdown of a scheduled bus. The court stated that such use doesn't constitute a fundamental breach of permit conditions exempting the insurer from liability. The court's decision came after it allowed appeals filed by two victims and the bus owner in connection with an accident that occurred on Jan 21, 2014. At approximately 11.45am, Ganesh and Basavaraj were travelling on a motorcycle from Mudur to Haveri. Near the sugar factory in Sangur village, a high-speed private bus collided with the motorcycle, causing both riders to fall and sustain grievous injuries. The duo subsequently filed petitions seeking compensation. On Jan 24, 2017, the motor accident claims tribunal in Haveri awarded compensation, placing liability on the bus owner, KM Altaf Hussain, on the grounds that the bus had deviated from its permitted route, violating permit conditions. Ganesh received Rs 3,71,030, and Basavaraj was awarded Rs 1,27,250. The claimants appealed for increased compensation, while Altaf appealed, arguing that the insurance company should settle the compensation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Skype Phone Alternative Undo He contended that although the bus had a permit only from Shivamogga to Hangal, it travelled beyond Hangal to Haveri and was being used as a relief vehicle when the accident occurred. Justice Hanchate Sanjeevkumar, after reviewing the materials on record, noted that the vehicle was employed as a relief vehicle under compelling circumstances, which did not amount to a fundamental breach of conditions. He determined that the tribunal had erred by not exempting the case as per Rule 57 of the Karnataka Motor Vehicles Rules 1989, given the route deviation was under compelling circumstances. Allowing the claimants' appeals, the judge also increased the compensation payable to Ganesh to Rs 7,15,550, considering the severity of his injuries. It awarded Basavaraj Rs 2,24,810. The compensation must be paid by United Insurance Company Limited, the insurer of the vehicle.
