In a shocking turn of events, Delhi police have arrested Arjun, the 20-year-old son of a couple found murdered alongside their daughter in South Delhi's Neb Sarai. Initially claiming to have been on a morning walk, Arjun allegedly killed his family members—Rajesh Kumar, 51, Komal, 46, and their 23-year-old daughter Kavita—while they slept, motivated by feelings of humiliation from his father and resentment over inheritance plans favoring his sister. The gruesome discovery on December 4 coincided with his parents' wedding anniversary. Following a review of CCTV footage that revealed no signs of forced entry, police found inconsistencies in Arjun’s statements, leading to his confession. Neighbors expressed disbelief at the tragedy, highlighting the family's previously friendly demeanor. The incident has sparked political outrage, with Delhi's Chief Minister Atishi criticizing the central government's failure to maintain public safety amid rising crime. 
Published: Dec 04 2024, 10 pmeznews.inA man was apprehended while illegally entering a film shoot featuring Bollywood star Salman Khan in Mumbai's Shivaji Park on Wednesday. Upon questioning, he raised eyebrows by asking, "Should I call Lawrence Bishnoi?" This incident comes in the wake of ongoing threats against Khan, particularly after the Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for a shooting outside his residence in April and linked him to the murder of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique. The gang has reportedly targeted Khan due to his past involvement in the shooting of blackbucks, a sacred animal for the Bishnoi community, during the filming of 'Hum Saath Saath Hain' in 1998. In recent months, Khan has faced multiple threats, with some being hoaxes, including a recent case involving a 24-year-old lyricist who sought publicity for his song by falsely claiming to represent the Bishnoi gang. The suspect is currently being interrogated at the Shivaji Park police station.
Published: Dec 05 2024, 12 ameznews.inThe Supreme Court of India has criticized the Madhya Pradesh High Court over the dismissal of woman judges, particularly highlighting the case of Aditi Kumar Sharma, who suffered a miscarriage during her probationary period. Justice BV Nagarathna, part of the bench, expressed outrage, questioning the fairness of evaluating judges' performance without considering the trauma associated with miscarriage. She suggested that similar scrutiny should apply to male judges. The High Court's assessment of the judges was based on case disposal rates, leading to termination orders in June 2023. Although a subsequent review reinstated four judges, Sharma was excluded. In her petition, Sharma argued that her maternity and child care leave should not impact her performance evaluation, asserting that the dismissal violated her fundamental rights to equality and personal liberty, and criticized the lack of due process in her termination despite her four years of exemplary service.

The minister emphasized the government's commitment to decongest major cities and junctions, highlighting that the focus is on building new terminals designed to meet future demands. He clarified that the issue in Kerala is not a lack of funds, as the government has already allocated Rs 2,150 crore for land acquisition.

The court reserved its decision on Chatterjee's bail plea, questioning the indefinite nature of his detention while also considering the implications of releasing him on the ongoing investigation.
Published: Dec 04 2024, 8 pmeznews.inAssam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced a statewide ban on the serving and consumption of beef in hotels, restaurants, and public places during a cabinet meeting on Wednesday. While the consumption of beef is not illegal in Assam, the Assam Cattle Preservation Act of 2021 regulates cattle transportation and slaughter, particularly in areas with significant Hindu, Jain, and Sikh populations. Previously, restrictions were limited to a five-kilometre radius around temples, but the new ban expands this to all public venues. Sarma cited the government's success in protecting cows through earlier legislation, while the opposition All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) criticized the government for diverting attention from pressing issues like unemployment and education. Violations of the Act can result in imprisonment for three to eight years and fines ranging from ₹3 lakh to ₹5 lakh.
Published: Dec 04 2024, 8 pmeznews.inAAP MLA Naresh Balyan was arrested on Wednesday under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), just hours after being granted bail in an extortion case.

Earlier, Balyan had been accused of extortion, leading to scrutiny from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which questioned the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) inaction against him.

The controversy intensified with an audio clip allegedly featuring Balyan discussing extortion with gangster Kapil Sangwan, who is currently abroad.
