Hyderabad, Jan 3, 2024:– In a shocking revelation, the Jubilee Hills police have apprehended a 30-year-old woman, Sumaiya Sultana, residing in Shastripuram, Old City, for allegedly threatening to frame men with false rape cases and extorting money from them.
The arrest came after a complaint from a car owner who fell victim to Sultana’s extortion attempt. The accused woman would reportedly seek lifts from men, target them in public places across the city, and then exploit the situation for financial gain.
Upon investigation, the police discovered that Sultana was involved in a staggering 17 cases in Hyderabad, making her a serial offender. The modus operandi involved intimidating men after gaining their trust during shared rides, falsely claiming to be a lawyer, and threatening to file rape cases at the police station.
The police, following her arrest, presented Sultana before the court where she was remanded to judicial custody. Subsequently, she has been sent to the Special Prison for Women in Chanchalguda.
This arrest sheds light on the need for heightened awareness and caution, especially in shared transportation scenarios, to prevent individuals from falling victim to such extortion tactics. Authorities are urging anyone with additional information to come forward as they continue their investigation into the extent of Sultana’s criminal activities.

Hyderabad, Jan 3, 2024: -In a recent directive from the director of school education, it has been confirmed that schools throughout Telangana will undergo a six-day closure in January, observing the Sankranti holidays. Notably, missionary schools will not be partaking in this break.
The academic calendar, as outlined by the director of school education, explicitly states that the Sankranti vacation is applicable to all educational institutions except missionary schools. The designated Sankranti holidays for schools, according to the government’s directive, are scheduled from January 12 to 17.
Following the Sankranti break, schools will be gearing up for formative assessment 4.
The academic calendar further delineates that the summer vacation for schools is slated to occur from April 24 to June 11, 2024.

In a shocking turn of events, South Korea’s opposition Democratic Party leader, Lee Jae-myung, remains in intensive care following a knife attack. Surgeons operated for over two hours to repair a major blood vessel in his neck, emphasizing the need for heightened security for political figures ahead of a crucial election.
Democratic Party floor leader Hong Ik-pyo labeled the attack as a direct challenge to democracy, calling for a swift investigation and increased security measures for high-profile political figures. The incident has reignited concerns about safety on campaign trails in a country with a history of political violence.
Jin Jeong-hwa, a party supporter and witness to the stabbing, stressed the necessity of dedicated security details for opposition leaders beyond routine police monitoring, citing Lee’s exposure to safety threats at political events.
Lee, a progressive figure, narrowly lost the 2022 presidential election and has been rallying the party to maintain its parliamentary majority against President Yoon Suk Yeol’s conservatives. With a pivotal election on April 10, the attack has added urgency to discussions about the security of political leaders.
The assault, captured in footage of a public event in Busan, prompted condemnation from both Lee’s party and political rivals. Lee was airlifted to Seoul for surgery, where his jugular vein was reconstructed, and he remains conscious and in recovery in the intensive care unit.
As the conservative People Power Party leader scales back public events in response, both parties urge members to refrain from inflammatory comments during Lee’s recovery. Lee’s narrow loss to Yoon in the 2022 election, combined with bribery allegations, has intensified the political landscape, emphasizing the need for robust security measures in the run-up to the upcoming election.
Transport unions from across the country are set to stage a protest at Jantar Mantar on Wednesday, January 3, opposing the recently enacted penal law on hit-and-run cases. Kishan Verma, president of the All Dilli Auto-Taxi Transport Congress Union, emphasized the need for government consultation with stakeholders before finalizing such impactful laws.
Verma stated, “These laws can devastate families and are tantamount to capital punishment. Drivers don’t intentionally hit and run; sometimes, they flee due to fear of reprisal. Transport unions nationwide will unite in this peaceful protest.”
The Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh will join the demonstration on Wednesday and convene another gathering at Rajghat on Thursday, January 4. Rajendra Soni of Delhi Auto Rickshaw Sangh, associated with both the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh and the transport union, warned of a potential strike if a resolution is not reached.

The protest has led to fuel supply disruptions, causing long queues and panic buying at petrol stations.

WATCH the video : Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla’s Assurance: Collaborative Discussions Prior to Implementing Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 106/2.
New Delhi , Jan 2, 2024 :- In a significant development, truckers protesting across the nation against the recently proposed hit-and-run law have been urged to immediately resume work. Late in the evening, a crucial agreement was reached between the transport body representing the truckers and the government.
The contentious law, which entails a punishment of up to ten years in hit-and-run cases, has not been enforced yet. The government emphasized that any decision regarding its implementation would only be made after thorough discussions with the concerned transport body.
The truckers’ association has also announced its intention to withdraw the ongoing protest against the new penal provisions in the hit-and-run law.
Malkit Singh Bal, Chairman of the truckers’ body’s core committee, stated, “We have discussed the provisions under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and all issues have been resolved. The new laws have not been implemented yet and will only be enforced after consultation with AIMTC.”
Bal further confirmed that the strike would conclude soon, urging drivers to resume their work promptly.
Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla commented, “There was a discussion with the All India Motor Transport Congress on the law imposing a punishment of ten years (in hit-and-run cases). This law has not yet been implemented. We will implement it only after discussing with the AIMTC.”
Assuring the protesting truckers, Amrit Lal Madan, President of All India Motor Transport Congress, conveyed that Union Home Minister Amit Shah has temporarily put the ten-year punishment and fine on hold.
“Until the next meeting of the All India Motor Transport Congress is held, no laws will be imposed,” Madan assured the truckers following a meeting with the government.
The provision causing the uproar was recently introduced by the government under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, replacing the outdated Indian Penal Code from the British era.
According to Section 106 (2) of the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, “Whoever causes death of any person by rash and negligent driving of a vehicle not amounting to culpable homicide, and escapes without reporting it to a police officer or a magistrate soon after the incident, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description of a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to a fine.”
The ongoing nationwide truckers’ protest has raised concerns about potential shortages at petrol and diesel stations, leading to panic buying. Reports from various parts of the country depict long queues at fuel pumps as people anxiously stock up amid fears of an imminent fuel shortage.
