The painful memories of the RG Kar incident in Kolkata are still fresh in people&#8217;s minds, and now another shocking incident has shaken the nation. A gang rape of a female student at Kasba Law College in South Kolkata has come to light, with police arresting three accused. This incident has once again raised serious questions about the safety of women in society.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is the whole matter?</h2>



This incident occurred at a prestigious law college, where a female student was allegedly gang-raped. Police have taken swift action and detained three accused. Preliminary investigations have revealed that the incident was premeditated, and the accused had conspired beforehand to target the victim.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Police action and investigation</h2>



Police immediately filed an FIR in this case and arrested the accused. The investigation has also revealed that the incident occurred in or around the college campus, raising questions about security arrangements in educational institutions. Police are now investigating whether more people are involved in this case or if there was any other conspiracy.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Comparison with the RG Kar incident</h2>



The RG Kar incident, in which a trainee doctor was raped and murdered at a medical college in Kolkata, had caused outrage across the country. This incident with the law student has once again highlighted the same brutality and insecurity that women are facing in their workplaces or educational institutions.

This year, Amarnath Yatra registrations have seen a 10.19% decrease. Lt. Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, Manoj Sinha, explained that those who had registered by 22 April were contacted to confirm their continued participation. Over 85,000 people confirmed their intention to proceed with the Amarnath Yatra.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enthusiasm for Amarnath Yatra Registration was at its Peak</h2>



The LG stated that before the Pahalgam attack on 22 April, enthusiasm for Amarnath Yatra registrations was at its peak. However, following the attack, interest waned, resulting in a 10.19% decrease compared to last year. Manoj Sinha reported that 2.36 lakh people had registered for the Amarnath Yatra.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Security Forces Successfully Regained Pilgrims&#8217; Trust</h2>



Sinha stated that the Jammu and Kashmir administration and security forces have successfully regained the trust of pilgrims, leading to the resumption of Amarnath Yatra registrations. Sinha added that the Pahalgam terrorist attack negatively impacted the overall atmosphere in the valley. Extensive security forces have been deployed for the pilgrimage. The Amarnath Yatra will commence on 3 July and conclude on 9 August.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three-Tier Security at Amarnath Yatra Base Camp</h2>



Sinha mentioned that a three-tier security system will be in place at the Amarnath Yatra Base Camp. Security forces are currently conducting rehearsals and mock drills. Additional police personnel and security forces have been deployed. Verification of all service providers has also been completed. The Amarnath Yatra Helicopter Service has been cancelled this year due to various reasons. As only about 8% of pilgrims utilise this service, its cancellation will not significantly impact the Yatra.

Train Ticket Price: Rail travel to get costlier from 1 July, here's how AC and sleeper fares will change

Train travel is set to become more expensive. Indian Railway is planning to implement a new tariff from 1 July 2025, aiming to generate an additional ₹990 crore annually. However, no official announcement has been made by the railway authorities yet. The last fare increase was on 1 January 2020.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2 Paise per Kilometre Hike in AC Fares</h2>



According to the new tariff, there will be no increase for journeys up to 500 kilometres in general second class. For journeys exceeding 500 kilometres, an additional 0.5 paise per kilometre will be charged. Passengers travelling in sleeper class of mail/express trains will have to pay 1 paise more per kilometre. Similarly, those travelling in AC classes will pay 2 paise more per kilometre. However, there will be no increase in fares for suburban trains or monthly season tickets.



For example, the distance between Bhopal and Delhi is 700 kilometres. Currently, the AC3 fare is ₹1090. From 1 July, it will increase by approximately ₹14. The sleeper fare from Varanasi to Mumbai will increase from ₹575 to ₹590. The general coach fare from Bhubaneswar to Kanyakumari will increase by ₹11.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Government&#8217;s Plans for Additional Revenue</h2>



In the 2025-26 budget, the railway estimated revenue based on passenger kilometres and class. The fare increase aims for an annual revenue increase of ₹990 crore, but after three months, this year&#8217;s profit will be approximately ₹700 crore. The additional revenue from the fare increase is reportedly intended to reduce railway subsidy deficits and improve services. The railway incurs losses due to subsidies on passenger trains. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw had stated that the railway spends ₹1.38 per passenger per kilometre but earns only ₹0.71.



The Indian Railways&#8217; largest revenue sources are freight and passenger trains, contributing approximately 90% of revenue. The remaining 10% comes from sources such as retiring room rentals, bridge tolls, and land leases. In 2023-24, the railway earned ₹2.56 lakh crore and spent ₹2.52 lakh crore, resulting in earnings exceeding ₹3,000 crore. The 2023 CAG report recorded a loss of ₹68,269 crore in the passenger segment for 2021-22, indicating a continuing deficit in this area.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Major Decision Regarding Waiting Tickets</h2>



Previously, the railway implemented a system where passengers with waiting train tickets would know about confirmation status four hours before their journey.

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has unearthed remnants of a civilisation dating back to 3500-1000 BCE in Bahj village, Dholpur district, Rajasthan. A 23-metre deep ancient river system (palaeochannel) has also been discovered at the same site. Archaeological researchers are connecting this to the Saraswati River mentioned in the Rigveda.



It is claimed that this ancient water system may have been the foundation of a civilisation that flourished along the banks of the Saraswati River. Located fifty kilometres from Mathura, this site is a crucial link in understanding the cultural heritage of the Saraswati basin. Five months of excavation have yielded, besides statues of Hindu deities, ancient ornaments belonging to this civilisation.



At a depth of about 4 metres, a female skeleton and a large number of ancient silver and copper coins have also been found. Following information about the village&#8217;s association with the grandson of Lord Krishna, Vajranatha&#8217;s Kheda, located on the Govindan road, the ASI commenced excavation on 10 January last year. Research on the discovered remains is underway.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Hoard of Mahabharata-Era Pottery Discovered</h2>



Bone tools, semi-precious stone beads and conch bangles, 15 sacrificial pits (yagna kunds), and statues of Shiva and Parvati have been found. These are estimated to be more than 1000 BCE. Seals with Brahmi script, sacrificial pits from the Mahajanapada period filled with sand and soil, and copper coins in small pots have also been unearthed. A treasure trove of pottery from the Mahabharata period has been discovered. Walls have been found beneath the mound.



Jain inscriptions mention Bahj village as Vajnagar. The mounds here are also referred to as Kankali Tila. The name Bahj is believed to be a tadbhava (popularly evolved form) of Vaj Nagari. A significant portion of the village&#8217;s ancient mound is being encroached upon by the expanding settlement. It lies on the Brij Chaurasi Kos Parikrama route.

Gang war in Delhi: In Delhi&#8217;s Bawana area, the nephew of a notorious gangster was shot dead by bike-borne assailants while out for a morning walk with his family. Police suspect the involvement of the Nandu gang in this murder and are investigating the matter. The incident occurred on Friday morning when Deepak, the nephew of notorious gangster Manjeet Mahal was out for a morning walk with his parents and four-year-old daughter in Bawana, outer Delhi.



Delhi Police sources revealed that Manjeet Mahal&#8217;s sisters reside in Nangal Thakran, Bawana, outer Delhi. Manjeet Mahal&#8217;s brother-in-law, Devendra, is a government school teacher with no criminal record. On Friday morning, Devendra&#8217;s son Deepak, along with his four-year-old daughter and parents, was on a morning walk. Suddenly, bike-borne assailants opened fire on them. One bullet grazed the four-year-old daughter&#8217;s hand, while Deepak sustained at least six gunshot wounds, resulting in his death.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Suspicion Falls on Nandu Gang</h2>



According to the police, Deepak, the nephew of notorious gangster Manjeet Mahal, worked in share trading after completing his B.Tech. He had no criminal record and no direct links to any gang. On Friday morning, he was on a morning walk with his parents and daughter. As they reached Nangal-Bawana Road, two assailants on a motorcycle opened indiscriminate fire on Deepak.



Police sources suggest that preliminary investigations indicate the involvement of the Nandu gang. Recently, tensions have escalated between the Nandu gang and the Manjeet Mahal gang. A few months ago, the Nandu gang allegedly orchestrated the murder of Rajkumar Daral, a property dealer close to Manjeet Mahal, in West Delhi East.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Daughter Injured, Family Mourns</h2>



During the firing, a bullet grazed Deepak&#8217;s four-year-old daughter&#8217;s hand, while Deepak received approximately half a dozen bullets. His family rushed him to the hospital, where doctors declared him dead. The child&#8217;s condition is reported to be out of danger. Bawana police station personnel arrived at the scene and commenced their investigation. Deepak&#8217;s father, Devendra, a government school teacher, informed the police about the attack. The police are examining CCTV footage from the area and monitoring the activities of criminals associated with the Nandu gang.



Deepak&#8217;s father told the police that on Friday morning, he, his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter were out for a walk. Deepak was walking slightly ahead with his daughter on Nangal-Bawana Road. Suddenly, bike-borne assailants opened fire on him. Pushing his daughter away, Deepak lunged towards the attackers, but fell after being hit by several bullets. His daughter ran towards him and was hit in the hand. Deepak&#8217;s daughter repeatedly pleaded with the attackers to spare her father.



Deepak&#8217;s father stated, “We shouted for help and asked nearby people for assistance. Seeing the crowd, the attackers fled. With the help of others, we took Deepak and his daughter to the hospital, but we couldn&#8217;t save our son.” Deepak&#8217;s four-year-old daughter is reported to be out of danger and is undergoing treatment at the hospital. The family is mourning the loss of their only son.
