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 |

Wife plotted Masaurhi man's murder with paramour: Police
Patna: The murder of 30-year-old Rajesh Chaudhary in Masaurhi was the result of a cold-blooded plot hatched by his wife and her paramour, police have revealed. Rajesh was shot dead in broad daylight outside the Ram Janaki Temple on June 17 and investigations have now led to the arrest of his wife Mamta Devi, her paramour Lucky Kumar, contract killer Nishant Kumar and a minor who acted as a spotter. According to the City SP (east), Parichay Kumar, Mamta had been in a relationship with Lucky for the past four months. The two conspired to eliminate Rajesh and paid Rs 20,000 to Nishant to carry out the murder. A minor boy was also involved, helping the killers identify the victim and monitor the area. "The victim was selling ice from his cart near the temple when the incident took place. CCTV footage captured the chilling precision of the attack," said the SP. On the day of the murder, three men arrived on a motorcycle. While two remained at a distance, one walked up to Rajesh's cart, waited for the crowd to thin out and then shot him at point-blank range before fleeing. Initially, Mamta lodged a complaint blaming others, including Kundan Chaudhary and Anoop Chaudhary. "However, further investigation exposed her involvement in the conspiracy," said the SDPO. The murder weapon has been recovered and all four accused are now in custody.

Agra: Three men, resting below a flyover after their routine morning walk, were crushed to death on Wednesday when a mango-laden loader plunged off the flyover on National Highway-19 in Agra's Trans Yamuna area and fell on them.

Below the flyover, Rajesh (55), Rameshwar (60) and Haribabu (62), — all residents of Shahdara's Adarsh Gali — were sitting after their walk when the vehicle fell on them, killing them on the spot." He added, "The 22-year-old driver, Krishna, a resident of Bhamauli Katara police station area, and his helper Bhim (25), were rushed to SN Medical College.

A Kerala family's road trip to discover India
For three weeks this summer, ad-maker Rajesh K Abraham, his wife Simi Mammen, and their five children (aged 6 to 17), turned their compact SUV into a moving classroom. They drove over 7,000km across 13 Indian states, from Kochi, their hometown, to Kinnaur in Himachal Pradesh. 'My children, like most others after the pandemic, live in the digital world. I wanted to snap them out of that space,' says Rajesh. 'So, this wasn't just a holiday. It was a deliberate attempt to reclaim education.' Having travelled extensively for work, Rajesh had seen the nooks and crannies of rural India, and greatly values the lessons that one invariably learns along the way. 'I wanted my children to have similar experiences. To see India through their eyes,' he explains. While the family had gone on holidays before, they were boxed in by the package itineraries, pre-booked hotel bookings and travel arrangements. 'This time, we took our own vehicle, and that meant freedom,' says Rajesh, who has also acted in and directed films. The family, which calls itself 'Seven Farers', began their journey on April 21. The route passed through Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, and back through Telangana.
