Rajasthan: Villagers beat up man, woman for alleged love affair

During the Question Hour on the second day of the Budget Session in the Assembly today, Forest Minister Subodh Uniyal shared that to eliminate the root cause of fires in pine forests, 5,532 tonnes of pine needles were purchased from villagers in 2025. The target has now been increased to 8,555 tonnes. The government's objective is to collect pine needles so that the chances of forest fires can be reduced to a minimum.

A team of Anti-Auto Theft Squad (AATS) West District apprehended the main contractor from Udaipur in Rajasthan in connection to Janakpuri biker's death case. The accused has been identified as Himanshu Gupta. He was hiding there and is now being brought to New Delhi.

The remarks come amid an ongoing investigation by the Delhi Police into the murder of a youth in Uttam Nagar, where a man was allegedly beaten to death during a dispute that erupted on the day of Holi earlier this month.

Delhi Police on Sunday arrested the eighth accused, 38-year-old Imran alias Bunty, in connection with a murder in Uttam Nagar, where a youth was allegedly beaten to death during Holi.

The festivities are preceded by 15 to 20 days of elaborate preparations, culminating in a grand display where participants don traditional turbans and victory attire to honour the martial legacy of their ancestors.
