Abduction, extortion plot against former MLC began with accident last year: Cops

Abduction, extortion plot against former MLC began with accident last year: Cops Abduction, extortion plot against former MLC began with accident last year: Cops Four people arrested in connection with abduction conspiracy targeting former Karnataka MLC after a road accident in December 2025. Four people were arrested in connection with a conspiracy to abduct and extort money from a former Karnataka MLC, with police saying the conspiracy began with a traffic collision involving one of the accused in December last year. The arrests, made in Bengaluru and Kerala on Wednesday night, came after investigators traced an alleged abduction and ransom demand targeting former legislator Dayananda Reddy to a dispute that began after a road accident in December 2025. Police identified the accused as B Praveen, Romeo Martin, NK Ashik and BT Adarsh, all hailing from Kerala and aged between 25 and 35. According to Bengaluru Rural superintendent of police M V Chandra Kanth, the alleged conspiracy began after a collision involving Reddy’s vehicle and a cab driven by Praveen on December 16 last year. Police said the accident itself was relatively minor, but the dispute that followed left lingering resentment. Investigators allege that associates of Reddy took Praveen to a resort and held his vehicle for three days while seeking compensation for damage caused in the collision. Praveen eventually paid ₹1.5 lakh through a cheque and recovered the vehicle.

The Andhra Pradesh government on Wednesday dismissed police inspector Chinna Mallaiah from service in connection with a case registered against him for allegedly raping a 40-year-old woman in Palnadu district in April, people familiar with the matter said on Thursday. Mallaiah is currently absconding and has not been traced so far, police said. Guntur Range deputy inspector general (DIG) of police Sarvashrestha Tripathi issued orders dismissing Mallaiah from service, hours after the Supreme Court dismissed his petition seeking anticipatory bail in the case. The Vinukonda rural police registered a case against Mallaiah under section 64 (punishment for rape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) on April 29, following a complaint given by the victim. According to the complaint, the victim had been staying alone as a tenant at the inspector’s residence. On the night of April 28, the inspector barged into her house and sexually assaulted her by threatening to kill her. “After gathering primary evidence against the inspector, a case was booked on the same day and he was placed under suspension on May 1,” a senior police officer said. Following her complaint, police moved her to a government hospital, where medical examinations were conducted as part of the investigation. “Based on the medical examination report, it was prima facie confirmed that she was subject to sexual assault and a case was booked against the inspector,” the officer said.

Supreme Court denies bail to YouTuber accused of spying for Pakistan

Supreme Court denies bail to YouTuber accused of spying for Pakistan Supreme Court denies bail to YouTuber accused of spying for Pakistan Jyoti Malhotra, a resident of Hisar in Haryana, is accused of passing sensitive information to Pakistani intelligence officials. The Supreme Court on Friday refused bail to travel vlogger and YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, who is accused of sharing sensitive information with Pakistani intelligence operatives, observing that “there can be no compromise with national security”. Dismissing Malhotra’s plea challenging a Punjab and Haryana high court order denying her bail on March 7, a bench of justices Dipankar Datta and SC Sharma termed the allegations against her “very serious”. “These are very serious charges against you and any defence you have is a subject matter of trial,” the bench observed. Malhotra’s counsel argued that she had been arrested on May 16 last year and had remained in custody for more than a year despite having no previous criminal antecedents. The court, however, said the allegations involved issues of national security. “There can be no compromise with national security. The allegation is that you go to the neighbouring country and visit people at Chanakya Puri. You were in constant touch with the person who was asked by the government to leave the country. Malhotra, a resident of Hisar in Haryana, is accused of passing sensitive information to Pakistani intelligence officials.
