Bihar: Minor gang-raped in Gaya, case registered

Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Thursday attended a blood donation camp organised by the BJP Yuva Morcha in Patna on the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday as part of the 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan'.

"You must have noticed that over 45 lakh people in Bihar are suffering due to devastating floods; they have no food or clean water, and lives are being lost. Yet the government has made no proper arrangements for them. Instead, on the Prime Minister's birthday, a staggering 100 crore rupees, drawn from the state's already depleted treasury, is being squandered merely on lighting lamps," Yadav told reporters.

The Supreme Court on Thursday granted two weeks to murder convict Rabindra Kumar Pal alias Dara Singh to challenge the Odisha government’s decision rejecting his plea for premature release from life imprisonment in the 1999 murder of Australian missionary Graham Staines and his two minor sons.

A case has been registered against six individuals, including two railway police personnel, for allegedly subjecting a 22-year-old woman to repeated sexual assault, intimidation, and wrongful confinement across multiple locations in Karnataka, police said here on Thursday.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday launched a massive search operation covering four premises across Delhi, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Karnataka linked to a bomb attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) office in Jharkhand's Ranchi in June this year.
