Bureaucrats have lost all fear of law and accountability and like politicians, are literally looting the country at will. No other way to put this.
As per Dainik Bhaskar, Rajasthan IAS officer Shikhar Agarwal, his wife, IPS officer Prashakha Mathur, their two daughters and their in-laws collectively purchased 40 villas and cottages in Ananta Resort in Bujhda, Udaipur, and a resort in Ajabgarh, Alwar, through Goyal Fashions Private Limited, at a reported cost of Rs 6.15 crore. The properties were subsequently leased to the same company for an annual lease amount of Rs 1.80 crore, according to the report.
The newspaper further reported that the family purchased 28 villas and cottages in Bujhda and Ajabgarh in the names of Shikhar Agarwal and Prashakha Mathur's family members, while only 14 properties were reflected in their annual immovable property returns (IPRs). The report states that the transactions involved the officer, his wife, their two daughters and four properties purchased by his in-laws.

दिल्ली पुलिस अकादमी, झरोदा कलां, नई दिल्ली के DANIPS (प्रोबेशनरी) के 26वें एवं 27वें बैच के 8 प्रशिक्षु अधिकारियों (6 पुरुष एवं 2 महिला), ने आज पुलिस मुख्यालय, श्री विजय पुरम में श्री रवींद्र यादव, IPS, पुलिस महानिदेशक, अंडमान एवं निकोबार पुलिस से शिष्टाचार भेंट की।
2 से 18 अक्टूबर 2026 तक आयोजित अध्ययन-सह-सांस्कृतिक भारत दर्शन यात्रा के अंतर्गत द्वीपसमूह के दौरे पर आए प्रशिक्षु अधिकारियों को द्वीपों की विशिष्ट भौगोलिक परिस्थितियों, पुलिसिंग एवं सुरक्षा संबंधी चुनौतियों तथा अंडमान एवं निकोबार पुलिस की भूमिका के बारे में जानकारी दी गई।
इस संवाद ने प्रशिक्षु अधिकारियों को द्वीपों की विशिष्ट प्रशासनिक एवं सुरक्षा आवश्यकताओं और प्रभावी पुलिस व्यवस्था की कार्यप्रणाली को समझने का मूल्यवान अवसर प्रदान किया।
A delegation of 8 DANIPS (Probationary) Officer Trainees (6 male and 2 female) from the 26th and 27th batches of Delhi Police Academy, Jharoda Kalan, New Delhi, called on Shri Ravindra Yadav, IPS, Director General of Police, Andaman & Nicobar Police, at Police Headquarters, Sri Vijaya Puram, today.
Visiting the Islands from 2 to 18 October 2026 as part of their Study-cum-Cultural Bharat Darshan Tour, the trainee officers were briefed on the unique geographical conditions of the Islands, the distinctive policing and security challenges, and the role of Andaman & Nicobar Police.
The interaction provided valuable insights into the Islands’ distinctive administrative and security requirements and the operational dynamics of policing in this strategically significant Union Territory.

Since when has the @DelhiPolice started reporting to the @DelhiGovDigital ? To our understanding, it has remained under administrative control of @MHA. Has there been any recent change in this arrangement?
Government of NCT of Delhi order dated October 5, 2026, wherein current duty charge of the post of Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police has been assigned to 12 officers of DANIPS is being modified in respect of Shri Vivek Bhagat, ACP.
The proposal to confer additional duty charge to these officers was initiated on August 25, much before the present set of events. The orders were issued after due approval on October 5, 2026. As stated in the order, the assignment of current duty charge is a temporary arrangement which confers no financial benefit, and no statutory duties of the regular incumbents can be exercised by the officers to whom current duty charge has been assigned.
However, Shri Vivek Bhagat, ACP, of his own volition, has requested not to avail the current duty charge assignment, till a full enquiry has been conducted in the matter of alleged harassment of women journalists and such enquiry has been satisfactorily concluded. Accordingly, the order dated October 5, 2026, as aforesaid is being modified and will be reissued with respect to assignment of current duty charge on the eleven remaining officers.
Furthermore, the use of the expression ‘The Worthy Commissioner of Police’ in an official communication is itself telling, and clearly reflects the trust and confidence the @CPDelhi Commissioner and MHA enjoys among his officers. @DelhiPolice

Lidder River: Pahalgam's Pulse
From the glaciers of the Himalayas to the valleys of #Pahalgam, the #Lidder is more than just a river. It shapes Kashmir’s landscape, sustains its ecosystem and has become inseparable from the region’s #tourism and identity.

Nampi Sir. Rest in Peace
With profound sorrow, we mourn the tragic loss of Shri Nampibou Maranmai, who served as PRO Defence at DPR headquarters and Director, DD News Mizoram. He, along with senior IIS officer Dr. Engam Pame, ADG, PIB Imphal along with another govt official, lost his life in a tragic road accident near Aizawl.
Shri Nampibou Maranmai’s dedicated service as PRO Defence and his long-standing association with defence reporting will be remembered with deep respect. His committed coverage of the Defence Forces and contribution to bringing their stories and achievements closer to the public will remain valued.
Our deepest condolences to the bereaved family. May they find strength and solace in this hour of immense grief. 🙏
This is truly heartbreaking. We were friends, we shared meals, laughter & some of the best times together. I still find it difficult to believe that you are no longer. You will always remain a cherished part of those beautiful memories. My deepest condolences. RIP 🙏

Transnational “digital loan sharks” operating from Pakistan and other South Asian hubs are targeting Indians on a massive scale through predatory loan apps.
Blue-collar workers are their prime prey. India needs tougher laws and faster action. #Cybercrime

Hi Croma team,
I am extremely disappointed with the way my complaint has been handled. From a Tata Group company, I expected far better from you. The Tata name has long stood for trust, integrity and customer commitment, but Croma’s handling of my case has been completely contrary to those values.
You have unilaterally marked my complaint as “resolved” when the issue has not been resolved at all. This is unacceptable and gives the impression that Croma is more interested in closing complaints on paper than actually addressing customer concerns.
Since 25 July, I have repeatedly contacted customer care and been given the same 24-hour assurance. Yet, weeks later there is still no resolution.
My request was straightforward, repair my TV which is in extended warranty. Instead, I was offered a gift voucher, an irrelevant and frankly speaking, an absurd response to a service complaint.
I do not want a gift voucher. I want my TV repaired.
I expect Croma to take immediate ownership of the issue, arrange the repair. This is the least a customer can expect from you.
This level of service is unacceptable and completely beneath the standards expected from a Tata Group company. I urge you to escalate this matter to the senior service team immediately and resolve it without any further delay.
And please do not mark the complaint as “resolved” again unless the TV has actually been repaired and the issue has been satisfactorily closed.
Waiting for your response...
Extremely bad and traumatic @cromaretail .
