Indian Army begins induction of Saksham counter-unmanned aerial threat grid system
NEW DELHI: As part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen national security and enhance operational preparedness against evolving aerial threats, the Indian Army has begun procuring an indigenously developed Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Grid System named Saksham. The Army on Thursday said, The system is designed to detect, track, identify, and neutralise hostile drones and unmanned aerial systems in real time, ensuring complete airspace security across what is now defined as the Tactical Battlefield Space (TBS), an expanded domain that includes the Air Littoral, the airspace up to 3,000 metres (10,000 feet) above the ground. The Indian Armys Corps of Air Defence is responsible for the countrys ground-based air defence. According to the Army, the need for a comprehensive Counter-UAS (C-UAS) framework became evident during Operation Sindoor, when hostile UAS activity highlighted the importance of swift detection, coordinated response, and airspace control beyond traditional ground limits. The Indian Army has since evolved its operational concept from the earlier Tactical Battle Area (TBA) to the more inclusive Tactical Battlefield Space (TBS), recognising that future wars will be fought not just on land but also in the air littoral directly above it, the army added.. This new approach ensures that the airspace up to 3,000 metres above the ground - the Air Littoral - remains under the control of ground forces. It allows unrestricted movement of friendly aerial assets while detecting, tracking, and neutralising hostile drones or aircraft. As modern warfare increasingly relies on drones for surveillance and attacks, situational awareness and real-time decision-making have become crucial for mission success. Elaborating on Saksham, the Army said it was conceived as a high-end, modular Command and Control System. Saksham, short for Situational Awareness for Kinetic Soft and Hard Kill Assets Management, has been developed in collaboration with Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Ghaziabad. The system operates over the secure Army Data Network (ADN) to provide an integrated, recognised UAS picture to all formations and arms in real time, covering both the surface and the Air Littoral layer of the Tactical Battlefield Space. Elaborating further on the system, the Army said it can integrate its own as well as hostile UAS data, C-UAS sensors, and soft- and hard-kill systems on a common GIS-based platform. The system will also receive inputs from the Akashteer System, further enhancing situational awareness by mapping all airspace users; friendly, neutral, or hostile; within the combat zone. Akashteer is India's fully indigenous, automated Air Defence Control and Reporting System that intercepts and neutralises every inbound projectile. The Saksham Counter-UAS System is fully indigenous, designed and developed by BEL; the system incorporates AI-driven fusion technologies for future combat systems, enabling scalability and upgradation as threat environments evolve. The Army said that to ensure quick induction, the project has been approved under the Fast Track Procurement (FTP) route, with rollout across all field formations targeted within the next year. Strategic Impact According to the force, once operational, Saksham will serve as the backbone of the Indian Army's Counter-UAS grid, giving commanders a unified picture of both ground and aerial threats in the Tactical Battlefield Space. It will enhance decision-making speed, ensure rapid engagement, and secure control over the Air Littoral, thereby protecting troops and infrastructure from aerial incursions. This initiative represents a decisive stride towards creating a digitally enabled, technology-driven battlefield, aligned with the Indian Army's Decade of Transformation (2023-2032), the Army said.
Bareilly cops kill dacoit who had dozen aliases, fifth such operation in state in last 12 days
LUCKNOW: A dacoit Shaitan alias Iftekhar alias Soldier, 35, carrying a cash reward of Rs 1 lakh and using a dozen aliases, was killed in a police encounter in Bhojipura area of Bareilly district early on Thursday. SOG head constable Rahul sustained gunshot injuries during the operation. The operation was led by Bareilly SSP Anurag Arya, with the SOG team and forces from three police stations participating. The encounter marks the fifth such operation in the state within the last 12 days. Police sources said the head constable Rahul, who was injured during the exchange of fire, was rushed to a hospital, where doctors described his condition as critical. The criminal also fired at other cops, with bullets striking the bulletproof jackets of two personnel; however, they escaped unhurt, said police sources. According to Bareilly SSP Anurag Arya, the police team surrounded the bandit near Bilwa bridge along the Nainital highway at around 5:30 AM. Shaitan opened fire on the team, discharging 17 rounds. The police retaliated, hitting him, and he fell immediately. He was rushed to the district hospital where doctors declared him dead upon arrival. However, one of his accomplices managed to escape. Police said Shaitan had 19 cases of serious offences, including murder and robbery, registered against him across seven districts. Police records revealed that he operated under 12 different aliases and used five different addresses. Bareilly Police recovered a bike, a pistol, 17 cartridges of 32 bore, two magazines, and some cash from the scene of the encounter. As per the SSP, evidence was being collected from the site while separate teams were on the lookout for the accomplice who managed to escape. The SSP added that Shaitan had a long criminal history. In 2006, his name surfaced in the murder and robbery of a priest at Pachaumi temple in Faridpur police station area. In 2012, he escaped from police custody in Barabanki. He was re-arrested eight years later in 2020, with a reward of Rs 50,000 announced on him. Shaitan, son of Sadiq, used to repeatedly mislead police by changing his name. He operated under several aliases including Iftekhar, Dhoom, Soldier, Lodha, Shakir, and Rohit. Shaitan was originally a resident of Bari Chowk in Kadarganj, Kasganj. He had been living with his family in Bhoopkhedi village near Tila Mod in Ghaziabad. According to the state government, between March 2017 and July 2025, the UP police eliminated 238 criminals in encounters. During this period, over 14,000 encounters took place, resulting in more than 30,000 arrests and injuring over 9,000 criminals.

Cracks emerge in Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate amid infighting and betrayals
CHANDIGARH: Internal rivalries and alleged betrayals have led to cracks within the criminal syndicate headed by notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The latest rift surfaced following the September 12 shooting outside Bollywood actress Disha Patanis house in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. The attack has brought the growing tensions between the Godara-Brar faction and the Bishnoi group into sharp focus. The firing, which occurred early in the morning, was quickly claimed by gangsters Rohit Godara and Goldy Brar on social media. They justified the attack as retaliation for allegedly insulting remarks made by Patanis sister towards two spiritual leaders. Sources say the responsibility claim was posted on a joint social media page belonging to Rohit Godara and Goldy Brar, which also included cryptic warnings aimed at raitors within the gang. Similar statements were shared by gangster Harry Boxer (real name Hari Chand Jaat)a key operative of the Godara network from Narayanpur, Rajasthan, who is believed to be operating from the United States. Previously affiliated with Lawrence Bishnoi, both Godara and Brar publicly distanced themselves from him, urging that their current actions not be associated with Bishnois leadership. Just days later, on September 17, Uttar Pradesh Police conducted an encounter near Tronica City in Ghaziabad, killing two shooters from HaryanaRavinder of Rohtak and Arun of Sonepatlinked to the Bareilly attack. Following this, without naming anyone directly, the breakaway faction accused an unnamed raitor of colluding with law enforcement agencies to secure the release of Anmol Bishnoi, Lawrence Bishnois younger brother, and of betraying gang interests. A senior police official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that intelligence inputs indicate rising tensions between gang factions. The situation is dynamic, and more developments are expected soon, he said, hinting at potential gang war-related killings. Adding to the unrest, Harry Boxer recently claimed responsibility for a shooting at Kapil Sharmas caf, Kaps Caf, in Surrey, Canada. In an audio message posted online, Boxer alleged the attack was prompted by Salman Khan being invited to the cafs inauguration, which was featured on a Netflix show. Another gang, led by Gurpreet Singh alias Goldy Dhillon, also claimed responsibility for the same attack, suggesting multiple rival factions are involved. Further deepening the divide, Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, a former mentor of Bishnoi and now jailed in Assam on drug smuggling charges filed by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), had severed ties with Bishnoi after the Sidhu Moosewala murder. Bhagwanpuria blamed Bishnoi's gang for leaking information that led to police encounters involving his shooters. The rift widened after Bhagwanpurias mother was killed on June 26 this year in an attack allegedly carried out by a rival gang. Sources claim the syndicate began to unravel last year after Anmol Bishnoi was detained in the U.S. for entering the country using forged documents. Lawrence Bishnoi reportedly accused Rohit Godara and Goldy Brar of abandoning Anmol during his legal troubles and leaking information to foreign intelligence agencies. Bishnois syndicate once operated like a corporate enterprise, forging alliances with groups such as the Boxer-Gogi gang, Kala Jatheri in Delhi-NCR, Jaggu Bhagwanpuria in Punjab, and Rohit Godara in Rajasthan. At its peak, the network included over 700 operatives across multiple states, with reported international links to Pakistan-based Khalistani terrorist Harwinder Singh Sandhu alias Rinda, and Canada-based gangster Lakhwinder Singh alias Landa.

'Fraud' against NCR homebuyers: SC nod to CBI to register 6 more cases in builder-bank 'nexus'
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the CBI to register six more regular cases into the unholy nexus between banks and developers to dupe homebuyers in real estate projects in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Mohali and Prayagraj. A bench of Justices Surya Kant, Ujjal Bhuyan and N Kotiswar Singh allowed the CBI to proceed as per law after Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, appearing for the agency, mentioned that it has completed preliminary inquiry in projects of the various builders except Supertech Ltd, falling outside Delhi-NCR in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Mohali and Prayagraj. The bench noted the submission of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) that, after preliminary inquiry, it has found a cognisable offence being made out and allowed the agency to register regular cases and proceed according to law. Bhati said the agency is willing to register six regular cases for speedy investigation and conduct a search and seizure in the matter. The top court directed Bhati to share portions of the sealed cover report with the amicus curiae advocate Rajiv Jain. The bench on July 22, while allowing the agency to register 22 cases to probe the unholy nexus between banks and developers to dupe homebuyers in Delhi-NCR, has granted six weeks to the CBI to complete the preliminary inquiry for projects outside the national capital region (NCR). The 22 cases pertained to builders operating in NCR and development authorities in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. Under the subvention scheme, banks disburse the sanctioned amount directly to the accounts of builders, who are then required to pay EMIs on the sanctioned loan amount until flats are handed over to homebuyers. After builders started defaulting on EMIs to banks, in line with the tripartite agreement, banks demanded the EMIs from homebuyers. The top court had at that time noted that the investigation in the seventh preliminary enquiry registered by the CBI, which is over projects of the various builders except Supertech Ltd, falling outside NCR in Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Mohali and Prayagraj, was still underway. The top court is hearing a batch of petitions filed by over 1,200 homebuyers, who booked flats under the subvention plans in various housing projects in NCR, especially Noida, Greater Noida and Gurugram, alleging they were being forced by banks to pay EMIs despite no possession of flats. On March 29, the top court allowed the CBI to register five preliminary enquiries into affairs of builders and projects in Noida, Greater Noida, Gurugram, Yamuna Expressway and Ghaziabad. It allowed one preliminary enquiry to be registered against realty major Supertech Ltd, against whom 799 homebuyers have moved the top court by way of 84 appeals involving projects in eight different cities. On July 22, the top court had perused the report submitted by the CBI in a sealed cover, suggesting that after conducting preliminary enquiries into the cases to ascertain the commission of a cognisable offence on the part of the builders and financial institutions, 22 regular cases are required to be registered for further investigation. On April 29, the top court directed the CBI to register seven preliminary enquiries against builders in NCR, including Supertech Limited. Frowning upon the collusion of development authorities officials, banks, and builders to dupe home buyers, the top court said it has found a prima facie nexus between renowned banks and builders in Noida, Gurugram, Yamuna Expressway, Greater Noida, Mohali, Mumbai, Kolkata and Prayagraj. The amicus curiae had called Supertech Ltd the main culprit in defrauding homebuyers, whereas Corporation Bank advanced more than Rs 2,700 crore to builders through subvention schemes. The amicus curiae's report has revealed that Supertech Ltd alone had secured a loan amount of Rs 5,157.86 crore since 1998.

LUCKNOW: Delhi Police arrested two more shooters accused of being involved in a firing incident outside actress Disha Patanis residence in Bareilly on Friday. The accused, identified as Nakul Singh and Vijay Tomar both from Baghpat, carried a bounty of Rs 1 lakh each. The Delhi Police recovered weapons from their possession. They were handed over to Bareilly Police on a B-Warrant. According to Bareilly Police sources, Patanis residence was attacked on both September 11 and 12. On the first day, Nakul and Vijay opened fire at 4:30 am while the actresss family was asleep inside the house. Disha Patani was in Mumbai at the time. The next day, shooters Arun and Ravindra from Haryana attacked the residence again, firing multiple rounds. In his FIR, Dishas father Jagdish Patani, a retired cop, said the family was asleep when their dog started barking. On stepping out to the balcony, he saw two men on a bike. When confronted, one opened fire at him. He escaped by hiding behind a pillar. CCTV cameras later captured the shooters fleeing on motorcycles. All four shooters were allegedly linked to the Rohit Godara and Goldie Brar gangs. After Arun and Ravindra were killed in an STF-led encounter in Ghaziabad on September 17, gangster Rohit Godara, through a Facebook post, threatened UP Police vowing revenge for the deaths of his men. Police investigations revealed that the four shooters arrived in Bareilly on September 10, travelling on two bikes. They checked into nearby hotels under fake names. CCTV footage showed them at multiple spots, including the Jhumka intersection and guest houses close to Disha Patanis house. Ravindra, identified as the main shooter, stayed under an alias at a local hotel before returning on September 12 to carry out the second round of firing with Arun. After the two alleged gang shooters were killed in a joint operation by UP STF, Delhi Police and Haryana Police, Rohit Godara posted on Facebook, condemning the encounter and calling the dead martyrs. In his post, he called the operation a great loss, accused the media of misreporting, and warned that those responsible would be made to pay for it. Promising retaliation, he posted that there would be no forgiveness. The alleged motive for the attacks traces back to public statements by actress Disha Patanis sister, Khushboo Patani, a former army officer, who criticised a religious storyteller identified as Aniruddhacharya for making derogatory remarks during a discourse. On July 30, Khushboo released a video condemning his comments about live-in relationships and women.

UP police pursued the shooters. An encounter in Ghaziabad resulted in the deaths of two gangsters. Several police officers were injured.

LUCKNOW: Two active members of the Rohit Godara-Goldy Barar gang, allegedly involved in firing outside Bollywood actress Disha Patani's residence in Bareilly, were shot dead in an encounter near Tronica City in Ghaziabad on Wednesday, officials said. The encounter was carried out in a joint operation by Delhi Police Special Cell, Uttar Pradesh STF and Haryana STF, they said. The deceased were identified as Ravinder, a resident of Haryana's Rohtak and Arun from Haryana's Sonipat, they said. A senior officer of the Haryana STF confirmed that both were shot dead and a personnel of the Special Cell also sustained injuries during the encounter. The duo had a direct role in the Bareilly firing case, which had sparked security concerns around high-profile personalities. The incident was suspected to be an intimidation tactic linked to extortion, an officer of Delhi Police Special Cell said. Senior officers said further investigation is underway to trace other gang members who remain absconding. Unidentified assailants had fired multiple rounds outside Patani's Bareilly residence around 3.45 am on September 12, creating panic in the locality. A case was registered at the Bareilly Kotwali police station, and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath directed immediate action in the matter, reiterating the state government's zero-tolerance policy towards crime. Additional Director General (ADG) Law and Order, Amitabh Yash, said that police examined CCTV footage, gathered intelligence inputs, and matched records from neighbouring states, leading to the identification of the shooters as Ravindra, son of Kallu, resident of Kahni in Rohtak, and Arun, son of Rajendra, resident of Indian Colony, Gohana Road in Sonipat. Earlier, the officials said that a joint team of the STF's Noida unit and Delhi Police intercepted the duo in Tronica City, Ghaziabad. In the ensuing exchange of fire, both accused sustained serious injuries and were rushed to the hospital for treatment.

Demonstrators tried to storm parliament and torched various government and private establishments as the agitation turned violent. According to relatives, Ramveer Gola and his wife were staying on the upper floor of the hotel when protesters set the lower floors on fire. In panic, Ramveer attempted to rescue his wife to safety using a curtain, but she slipped from his grasp and fell, sustaining severe injuries. She was rushed to the hospital but succumbed on the way due to excessive bleeding and injuries. On Friday morning at 10:30 am, family members brought her body to their residence in Master Colony, Ghaziabad. As per family sources, the violent mob stormed the hotel and set it on fire. As the stairways filled with smoke, Ramveer broke the windowpane, tied sheets, and jumped onto a mattress, while Rajesh Gola slipped while trying to climb down and fell heavily on her back. According to the account of Vishal, the elder son of the Golas, communication blackouts hampered their search. For two days, we didnt know about their whereabouts.

The group includes local BJP leader Sunil Kumar Tayal, who has sought assistance from state minister Kapil Dev Aggarwal. Similarly, nine pilgrims from Ayodhya, who set out on the Mansarovar pilgrimage, are stranded in Hilsa at the Nepal-China border. Most of them were preparing to return, but the arson and unrest in Nepal closed the routes. However, according to available information, all the pilgrims are safe and in contact with their families. Ayodhya DM Nikhil Tikaram Funde told media persons that he was observing the situation and was trying to ensure the safe exit of the pilgrims. Nine individuals departed from Ayodhya on September 1 to visit Kailash Mansarovar. On their return journey, they got stuck in Nepal after passing through China.
