The XIII Additional District and Sessions Court at L.B. Nagar, presided over by Judge Smt. M. Vani, delivered its judgment in a rape and criminal intimidation case arising from Mailardevpally Police Station (Cr. No. 541/2018, SC No. 482/2019). The accused, Somashila Mahender (40), a resident of NTR Nagar, Mailardevpally was found guilty after a full trial in which the prosecution presented evidence establishing the charges.

The case dates back to June 15, 2018, when the accused entered the victim’s house under the pretext of asking for food. Upon finding her alone, he locked the door, committed rape, and subsequently threatened to kill her if she revealed the incident.

The court convicted the accused under Sections 376 (rape) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC. He was sentenced to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment and fined ₹5,100. Additionally, the court directed that ₹3,00,000 be awarded to the victim as compensation.

Dear Parliamentarians n Mrs.Nirmala Sitharaman isn't this a little shameful?

[barkha dutt @BDUTT]

I received this letter from the wife of an Indian Army officer who lost his leg in a terrorist encounter in Kashmir when he was posted at the front lines with the Rashtriya Rifles

They had been married four years. Their daughter was two.

He survived eight surgeries. Forty blood transfusions. Months in hospital. A rare autoimmune disorder triggered by trauma.

He could have been boarded out.

He chose to continue serving — on a prosthetic limb.

Now, under the Finance Bill 2026 proposal, his disability pension will be taxed because he completed his tenure instead of being invalided out.

His wife asks a question that deserves to be heard:

Does a war injury become less of a sacrifice because a soldier refuses to quit?

“A disability pension is not income,” she writes. “It is compensation for a lifelong limitation.”

This is not just about taxation.
It is about dignity.
About the moral contract between a soldier and the nation.

Can resilience become a reason to penalise sacrifice?

This soldier’s wife had a request - to share this letter far and wide . Please do. So that more voices urge a review of a decision that taxes our war wounded if they continue to serve . 💔

At a press meet held at the Chandrayangutta Police Station in Hyderabad, 32 recovered mobile phones were handed over to their rightful owners. The recovery was carried out by the Chandrayangutta Crime Team under the supervision of the SHO and Detective Inspector.

ACP Chandrayangutta, Sri A. Sudhakar, praised the team’s efforts in tracing the devices during 2026. He stated that complaints registered through the CEIR (Central Equipment Identity Register) portal played a key role in tracking and blocking lost phones.

The ACP also warned citizens about the risks of online fraud if lost phones are misused and informed that a dedicated wing has been set up at every police station to handle lost and stolen mobile phone cases.

Citizens were advised to immediately report lost phones via the CEIR portal or at the nearest police station for prompt recovery action.

Yet Indian Sports Ministry is bidding to host 2036 Olympics for ₹34,000 Crores, while the sportspersons struggle.

Indian Army Intensifies Winter Operations in Kishtwar and Doda to Flush Out Pakistani Terrorists

As the bone-chilling winter descends upon the Himalayas and the 40-day period of Chillai Kalan grips Jammu & Kashmir, sources in the defence establishment have said that the Indian Army has intensified its counter-terrorism operations across the Kishtwar and Doda districts. Undeterred by freezing temperatures, treacherous terrain, and heavy snowfall, Army units have expanded their operational reach into higher and snowbound areas to pursue and neutralise Pakistani terrorists attempting to exploit the harsh season for concealment.

Traditionally, the onset of Chillai Kalan; the harshest phase of Kashmir’s winter spanning from December 21 to January 31 ushers in a temporary lull in terrorist activities, as communication routes close and heavy snowfall isolates mountain regions. However, this winter has marked a decisive shift in the operational approach of the Indian Army and other security forces. Instead of reducing activities, sources have said that the Army has adopted a proactive winter posture, establishing temporary bases and surveillance posts deep within snow-covered areas to maintain unbroken pressure on possible terrorist hideouts.

Operating in sub-zero temperatures with limited visibility, Army patrols have been regularly traversing high-altitude ridgelines, valleys, and forested areas to deny terrorists any sanctuary. The shift according to experts signifies an evolution in counter-terrorism tactics, underlining both the Army’s adaptability and its resolve to maintain operational momentum irrespective of the season or terrain.

A defining feature of this year’s counter-terror strategy has been the integrated approach to operations. The Indian Army is leading a synchronised effort involving multiple security and law enforcement agencies, including the Civil Administration, Jammu and Kashmir Police (JKP), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Special Operations Group (SOG), Forest Guards, and Village Defence Guards (VDGs). This inter-agency cooperation ensures seamless sharing of intelligence, resource optimisation & sharper operational execution.

Intelligence from multiple agencies is carefully synthesised to draw precise situational pictures of terrorist movement and hideout patterns. Once intelligence is verified, coordinated joint operations are planned & launched, minimising overlaps and ensuring maximum impact with tactical precision. The synergy among ground units and intelligence frameworks has enhanced response time, enabling security forces to act swiftly the moment actionable information surfaces.

As per assessment made by various intelligence agencies, there are approximately 30 to 35 Pakistani terrorists currently in the Jammu region. Inputs gathered over the past few months suggests that these Pakistani terrorist groups, finding themselves cornered by successful counter-terror operations, have shifted deeper into higher and middle mountain reaches of the region; areas now devoid of habitation. These terrorists are believed to be seeking temporary winter hideouts to evade detection and avoid direct confrontation with security troops.

Reports indicate that these remnants of terror groups are attempting to coerce or threaten local villagers for shelter and food supplies, though their support among locals and overground workers has sharply declined. The drying local support and continuous security vigilance at lower altitudes have forced them into isolation, further restricting their ability to regroup or plan coordinated attacks.

The principal focus for the Army and other forces this winter is twofold: to eliminate remaining terrorist pockets within known areas and to ensure that terrorists remain confined to inhospitable higher reaches. This containment strategy not only prevents terrorists from infiltrating or regrouping in populated belts but also significantly disrupts their logistics & communication.
