<p>परिजनों ने जताया हत्या का संदेह, मामले का जल्द खुलासा करने की मांग<br />
मुंडावर. थाना क्षेत्र के गांव सराय कला में शनिवार दोपहर को बिन्टू प्रजापत के पांच साल का बेटा लोकेश लापता हो गया।  परिजनों ने जब उसे खोजा तो उनके घर के पास एक सूने मकान के कमरे में भरे तूड़े में दबा हुआ मृत मिला।  बच्चे के गायब होने की सूचना पर समस्त सराय कला  गांव में सनसनी फैल गई।<br />
ग्रामीणों ने बताया कि बच्चे गायब होने की सूचना पर गांव के लोग उसे तलाशने में जुट गए और ग्रामीणों ने एकजुट होकर आस-पास के क्षेत्र में सर्च ऑपरेशन चलाया। बच्चे को गांव की पुरानी हवेलियों एवं खंडहरों में भी तलाश किया लेकिन वह नहीं मिला। इसके बाद लोगों ने गांव के लगे सीसीटीवी के फुटेज भी देखे।  लेकिन सीसीटीवी कैमरों में बच्चा कहीं भी नजर नहीं आया।<br />
इसके बाद प्रजापत मोहल्ले पर फोकस किया। प्रजापत मोहल्ले में सर्च ऑपरेशन करने के दौरान  देर शाम को उसके घर के समीप ही इस सूने पड़े मकान की तलाशी ली गई। मकान में कुछ नहीं मिली लेकिन एक कमरे में तूड़ा भरा हुआ था गांव वालों ने उसमें तलाश शुरू की तो बच्चे का शव तूड़े में दबा मिला। तूड़े में शव देख लोगों के होश उड़ गए। इसके बाद लोगों ने तुरंत थाना में इसकी सूचना दी। सूचना पर मौके पर पहुंची पुलिस ने रात्रि को ही शव को अपने कब्जे में ले लिया।  वहीं मुंडावर की सामुदायिक अस्पताल की मोर्चरी में रखवा दिया। मृतक के पिता ने बच्चे की हत्या कर शव को तूड़े में दबाने का शक जाहिर कर मामला दर्ज कराया है। मृत मासूम का रविवार को मेडिकल बोर्ड से पोस्टमार्टम कराकर शव परिजनों को सौंप दिया। शव मिलने के बाद परिजनों व बच्चे की मां का रो-रो कर बुरा हाल हो गया।<br />
10 साल पहले गांव पेहल में हुई ऐसी घटना : मासूम का दोपहर में गायब होना रात्रि को गांव के सुने मकान में क्षत- विक्षत शव मिलने से गांव सदमे में है। ग्रामीणों का कहना है कि 10 साल पहले गांव पेहल में भी दो मासूम दोपहर में गायब हो गए थे। जिसके दूसरे दिन दोनों मासूमो के शव खंडहर में मिले थे। 10 साल बाद ऐसी घटना का सराय कला में होने पर आसपास गांव के लोगों में दहशत बनी हुई है।  </p>
<p>ग्रामीणों ने दुकान<br />
बंद रख जताया रोष<br />
 गांव के अधिवक्ता धर्मेंद्र चौधरी, मनोज चौधरी व रवि मीणा का कहना है कि घटना के बाद ग्रामीणों एवं थाना पुलिस का भरपूर सहयोग रहा। लेकिन घटना दुखदाई होने के कारण ग्रामीणों ने अपने प्रतिष्ठान बंद रखकर घटना के खिलाफ रोष जताया। वहीं पुलिस से मांग की है कि बच्चे के हत्यारे का जल्द से जल्द गिरफ्तार किया जाए।  जिससे बच्चे के परिजनों को न्याय मिल सके। थाना प्रभारी महावीर शेखावत का कहना है कि प्रथम ²ष्टया लगता है कि मासूम का गला घोटकर हत्या की गई। वहीं उसके बाद बच्चे को तूड़े के कमरे में दबाया गया है। मेडिकल रिपोर्ट आने के बाद ही हत्या का  सज खुल सकेगा। थाना प्रभारी ने यह भी बताया कि हत्यारे को शीघ्र ढूंढ कर मामले का जल्द ही पर्दाफाश किया जाएगा। पुलिस मामले में कुछ जनों को संदेह के दायरे में लेकर पूछताछ भी कर रही है।</p>

<p>The Bombay High Court has acquitted all 12 convicts in the 2006 Mumbai serial train bombings, citing a lack of evidence. The court on Monday overturned the death sentences of five convicts and dismissed the Maharashtra government&#8217;s appeal seeking confirmation of the sentences.</p>



<p>On 11 July 2006, seven serial blasts ripped through crowded Mumbai local trains, killing 189 people and injuring over 800. RDX was used in the explosions, and the Indian Mujahideen was blamed for the attacks.</p>



<p>In 2015, a special TADA court convicted 12 out of 15 accused. Five received the death penalty, and seven were given life imprisonment. However, the Bombay High Court overturned the lower court&#8217;s decision, acquitting all and ordering their release from prison.</p>



<p>The court was not satisfied with the evidence and testimonies presented by the prosecution, leading to the acquittal of all 12 convicts. The bench of Justices Anil Kilore and S. Chandak stated that the prosecution&#8217;s evidence lacked a solid foundation. The accused, who were held in Yerwada, Nasik, Amravati, and Nagpur jails in Maharashtra, were presented in court via video conferencing.</p>

<p>A major Goods and Services Tax (GST) fraud case has come to light in India, involving 3,558 fake companies that caused losses exceeding ₹15,851 crore (approximately £1.5 billion) to the government. This was revealed in an investigation conducted by GST officials during the first quarter (April-June 2025) of the current financial year. These companies perpetrated the scam through fraudulent Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How the Fraud Occurred?</h2>



<p>The GST system allows companies to claim tax paid on raw material purchases as ITC. The fraudulent companies misused this provision by creating fake invoices without any actual transactions and obtained refunds of thousands of crores of rupees through ITC. According to officials, this scam is 29% higher than last year, when 3,840 companies committed fraud worth ₹12,304 crore in the first quarter.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Action Taken</h2>



<p>GST officials have so far arrested 53 people in this case and recovered ₹659 crore. However, this amount is significantly less than the total loss. The fact that over 25,000 fake companies were involved in a ₹61,545 crore scam during the previous financial year highlights the seriousness of the problem.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Government&#8217;s Challenge</h2>



<p>Officials say that the number of fake companies is constantly increasing. The government has taken several steps to curb this, but much work remains to be done. Special drives are being conducted to prevent GST fraud, such as the one launched in May-June 2023, which uncovered a ₹30,000 crore scam across 16 states.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Expert Advice</h2>



<p>Experts believe that technological improvements in the GST system, stricter monitoring, and the use of data analytics can curb such fraud. The government plans to further strengthen digital tracking and Aadhaar-PAN based verification to prevent such scams in the future.</p>


<p>A major fraud case has come to light in the first quarter of the current financial year, in which 3,558 fake companies caused a loss of over ₹15,851 crore to the government.</p>

<p>India&#8217;s troubles in the five-Test series against England show no signs of abating. After three Tests, India already trails 1-2, and now faces a series of setbacks. </p>



<p>Reports indicate that Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh and pace all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy have been ruled out of the Manchester Test due to injury. Fast bowler Akash Deep is also reportedly injured and his participation is uncertain. This raises significant questions about the playing XI ahead of the fourth Test, starting Wednesday, 23 July, for head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nitish Injured in the Gym</h2>



<p>Reports suggest that Nitish Kumar Reddy injured his knee while working out in the gym. Scans have confirmed ligament damage. The injury occurred during training on Sunday. This is a major blow to the Indian team, already struggling with injuries to its fast bowlers, ahead of the fourth Test.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep Already Injured</h2>



<p>Meanwhile, fast bowler Arshdeep Singh sustained a hand injury while catching the ball during net practice. He has received stitches. Akash Deep is also suffering from back pain; he complained of back pain on the fourth day of the third Test. His participation is also doubtful. The simultaneous injury of three fast bowlers could pose a significant problem for Team India.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shardul Thakur&#8217;s Return</h2>



<p>Following the injuries to Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep, Anshul Kamboj, a fast bowler from Karnal, Haryana, has been included in the Indian team. If Nitish Reddy is unavailable due to injury, Shardul Thakur, who played in the Leeds Test but was subsequently dropped from the playing XI for the next two matches, could be given an opportunity.</p>

<p><strong>Ajay Devgn meets Shahid Afridi at WCL:</strong> Following the cancellation of the India vs Pakistan match at the World Championship of Legends (WCL 2025), the event organisers have faced considerable controversy. The two arch-rival teams&#8217; legends were scheduled to face off at Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Birmingham on Sunday, 20 July. However, the organisers announced the match&#8217;s cancellation via social media prior to the match, sparking outrage. Many Indian fans questioned former Indian cricketers&#8217; decision to play against Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. Amidst this, photos of Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn meeting Shahid Afridi have gone viral on social media. Let&#8217;s uncover the truth behind these pictures.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ajay Devgn is a co-owner of the World Championship of Legends</h2>



<p>It&#8217;s important to note that Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn is a co-owner of the World Championship of Legends T20 tournament. He was seen at Edgbaston, Birmingham during the tournament&#8217;s inaugural season last year. While the India-Pakistan match has been cancelled this time, fans are expressing anger over Ajay Devgn&#8217;s meeting with Pakistani legend Shahid Afridi during the event.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shahid Afridi&#8217;s controversial remarks after the Pulwama terror attack</h2>



<p>Following the Pahalgam terror attack, the Indian army targeted Pakistani terrorist bases in an operation codenamed &#8216;Operation Sindoor&#8217;. Former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi made derogatory remarks about the Indian army during this time. He even held a victory parade after the ceasefire. </p>

<p>While it&#8217;s true that Ajay Devgn met and spoke with Shahid Afridi, this meeting did not take place in 2025. The pictures circulating on social media are from last year&#8217;s inaugural season of the tournament. Devgn, as a co-owner of the tournament, was present in Edgbaston. India won the final against Pakistan during that tournament.</p>
