Daylight robbery is not quite usual but it does not strike out the fact that it is highly possible. Many a time cases as such have surfaced online where normal people were robbed in broad daylight. Recently, the passengers in a taxi got robbed inside the Pragati Maidan tunnel in Delhi on Saturday afternoon.

Four men rob taxi passengers at gunpoint in broad daylight and here is what Delhi Police have to say

On Saturday, a delivery agent and his associate were robbed at gunpoint by a group of unknown assailants, stealing around Rs 1.5 to Rs 2 lakh cash from them. In spite of having 16 security guards in the Pragati Tunnel, there were no CCTV cameras installed. Although the Public Works Department assured that cameras are installed, they did not confirm their operational conditions.

The victims made a complaint at Tilak Marg police station later in the evening. The Pragati tunnel is a 1.5 km tunnel that connects New Delhi with Sarai Kale Khan and Noida. The police said that following the complaint made by the victims, a case has been filed under Sections 397 IPC which covers robbery, or dacoity with an attempt to cause death or grievous hurt and 34 (common intention).

The Deputy Commissioner of Police, Pranav Tayal, has shared that the complainant can be identified as Patel Sajan Kumar and his associate Jigar Patel. Patel Sajan works as a delivery agent for a private firm in Chandni Chow and has informed the police that he and Jigar were going to Gurugram to deliver the cash to a client.

As per the registered complaint, the two of them hired an Ola cab from near Red Fort. As soon as the cab entered the Pragati Maidan tunnel from Ring Road, four assailants on two motorcycles surrounded their cab and robbed the cash off them keeping them at gunpoint.

While the police are looking into the matter, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is not satisfied with the deterioration of public safety needs

As soon as the CCTV footage surfaced, Arvind Kejriwal lashed out at Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena and demanded his resignation from the post.

Kejriwal took to Twitter to share the footage and wrote,

“If Central govt is unable to make Delhi safe, hand it over to us. We will show u how to make a city safe for its citizens”

LG shud resign. Make way for someone who can provide safety n security to the people of Delhi.

If Central govt is unable to make Delhi safe, hand it over to us. We will show u how to make a city safe for its citizens. https://t.co/oPtqnAWlgJ

Delhi Minister Atishi also took to Twitter and slammed the incompetency of the Lieutenant Governor. She tweeted,

LG साहब: अगर आपको @ArvindKejriwal के कामों का क्रेडिट लेने से फ़ुरसत मिले तो कभी अपनी संवैधानिक ज़िम्मेदारी पर भी ध्यान दीजिए। दिल्ली वालों को सुरक्षा देना आपका काम है। और अब दिन दहाड़े दिल्ली में चोरी, डकैती और क़त्ल की वारदातें हो रही हैं। या तो आप सुरक्षा की ज़िम्मेदारी लीजिए,… https://t.co/RG4c9ozWnW

Coming across train service complaints on social media is nothing new. Very often than not we find passengers complaining about bland food or bugs in the cooked food provided to them. Quite recently someone took to Twitter regarding a complaint where they found plastic in the railway food. But the latest thing that happened has actually stunned everyone when a video of the roof of a passenger coach train surfaced online.

Indian Railways slammed over water leakage in AC coach

Netizens have harshly criticized the poor management and maintenance of the train coaches after a surprising video surfaced online. Recently, a video went viral on social media platforms in which it can be clearly seen rainwater seeping in through the roof of the 2-tier AC coach of the Avantika Express. The Congress party also reshared the video uploaded by a passenger and took to Twitter to play the blame game immediately.

The tweet said,

“काश खोखले प्रचार की जगह रेलवे के लिए कुछ काम किया होता। झंडी दिखाने वाले रेल मंत्री अभी विदेश में हैं, नाम वाले रेल मंत्री ध्यान दें। (Wish some actual work would have been done for the Railways in place of empty propaganda. The railway minister who shows the flag is currently abroad, the named railway minister should pay attention)”

काश खोखले प्रचार की जगह रेलवे के लिए कुछ काम किया होता।

It was a jab at the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, who recently flagged off 11 Vande Bharat Express, the Railways’ newest hi-tech train.

The Western Railway took to Twitter to respond to that tweet hours later and stated that all the coaches of the Avantika Express train were properly checked.

The tweet read,

“All coaches of Avantika Exp have been checked thoroughly & issue has been attended to promptly. The train has commenced its return journey & there are no such issues now. Passenger convenience is of utmost priority & WR leaves no stone unturned to resolve passengers’ grievances”

This is probably not the first time that something has happened as per the claims of this Twitter user,

Recently travelled from 12424 Rajdhani Express to #Guwahati , had a very bad experience.
As it was raining the rainwater was leaking in every coach and also there was no water in most of the dirty toilets. TTE ignored the complaint and asked to register complaint via phone.

Om Raut’s Adipurush, a multi-starrer and multilingual retelling of the epic Ramayana, has come under the scanner of criticism because of its VFX, dialogue, and representation of a few characters from the mythological epic.

Though, Adipurush, starring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon, got a blockbuster opening at the box-office, but, it failed to win the hearts of the fans. In the movie, Prabhas plays the character of Lord Rama, Kriti Sanon plays Goddess Sita, Saif Ali Khan plays Ravana and Sunny Singh plays Laxman.

Fans from around the country have expressed their disappointment on social media that the director of the movie, Om Raut made an epic like Ramayana in such a shady way that it left a bad taste in the mouths of those who saw Ramanand Sagar’s legendary Ramayan on Television.

Dipika Chikhlia broke her silence on Adipurush

Meanwhile, Dipika Chikhlia, who played the role of Sita in Ramanand Sagar’s famous mythological show Ramayan, spoke about Adipurush.

It has to be noted that Dipika has worked in several Bollywood movies and shows, however, she is still known and loved for the character of Goddess Sita that she played in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayana. Dipika hasn’t watched Adipurush yet and given the negative criticism the movie is getting, she is unlikely to watch the movie.

Dipika shared a video on her official Instagram handle and revealed that she had been thinking about making this video but she was afraid that it might create a controversy. The OG Sita said,

“Namashkar, For a long time I have been thinking about making this video but then I thought I shouldn’t talk about it. I would not like to comment on the film Adipurush or give any tips as I have not even watched the film yet. However, I will talk about the future and every now and then in the years, there is a new Ramayan made either in films or serials. For us Indians, Ramayan is our ‘Dharohar’ and that’s why I feel that we should stop making Ramayan anymore. Every time when it’s remade, there is some controversy over it. Instead of that, we can teach Ramayan in schools and institutions because it might give a new direction and mindful learning for the new generation. That is all I would like to say as I am not trying to point out at anyone.”

Sharing the video, Dipika wrote,

“Not wanting to hurt any one but I felt need to speak … let’s respect and protect our faith Ramayan is to be revered not a source for entertainment.”
