Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin is scheduled to hold a two-day meeting of District collectors and District Superintendents of Police in November to discuss in detail the implementation of flagships programmes of the government and to fine-tune the administrative measures of the state government.
The Chief Minister is likely to hold the meeting in Chennai physically and the general administration department has commenced preparations for the same.
Government department has already been given missives to prepare the list of programmes to be discussed on a priority basis and the heads of the departments have been directed to bring up an agenda to be discussed.
The law and order situation is an important issue to be discussed on a priority basis in the wake of four back-to-back beheadings in the spate of three days in South Tamil Nadu.
The Chief Minister, according to sources in the secretariat, had then directed the Director General of Police, Tamil Nadu to evolve a strategy to counter this and to put an end to the “caste-related killings” in the state.
Tamil Nadu DGP C. Sylendra Babu had conducted a two-level meeting of senior police officers from Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) to the level of Station House Officers (SHO) at Madurai and evolved some strategies to checkmate the spate of killings.
Several shops and micro industries that manufacture knives, matchets, axes, and other equipment to be used for domestic purposes were intimated by the police that they would have to provide details of those who were buying these.
The shops and industrial units have been directed to collect the telephone numbers and addresses of those people who were buying this equipment — even for domestic purposes.
Post the meeting, the police have rounded up more than 1,000 people in South Tamil Nadu having a history of being part of caste-related violence, and confiscated more than 3,000 weapons including firearms.
The police have also directed the private bus services in Dindigul, Madurai, Tirunelveli and Theni districts to stop playing songs that highlight castes and the valour of certain castes.
The District Collectors are also directed to prepare a proper list of administrative measures to be taken after eliciting the views of village, revenue, and block-level officers about the day-to-day issues cropping up in their respective areas.
Another major area to be discussed at length with the police is financial cheating and money laundering.

Delhi: AGS arrests accused wanted in attempt-to-murder case in Timarpur

New Delhi, Nov 22: A team of the Anti-Gangster Squad (AGS), led by Inspector Krishan Kumar on Saturday arrested 32-year-old accused Rajeev alias Raj in Timarpur. He was wanted in a sensational attempt-to-murder case registered under FIR No. 529/2025 on October 25, under Sections 109(1)/3(5) of the BNS. The accused had been absconding since the incident.
According to a statement issued by the AGS, on October 24 at around 7 p.m., an altercation took place between Rajeev and Vishal near the Sulabh Shauchalaya in Sanjay Basti, Timarpur. Acting as a responsible citizen, Rahul, the complainant, made a PCR call to report the quarrel. When the accused learned that Rahul had informed the police, both Rajeev and Vishal became enraged and attacked him with a knife, inflicting multiple injuries.
After the attack, both accused fled the scene. A case was subsequently registered under FIR No. 529/2025 at Timarpur Police Station. Both men remained absconding until Rajeev’s arrest.
With Rajeev’s arrest, the sensational attempt-to-murder case has been partially solved. Vishal, however, is still on the run.
In response to rising incidents of street crime, armed assaults, and gang-related activities in the national Capital, the Crime Branch of the Delhi Police has intensified efforts to trace and apprehend active and absconding criminals. The AGS has been specifically tasked with developing Intelligence networks and conducting surveillance on such offenders across Delhi and neighbouring states.
A dedicated AGS team led by Inspector Krishan Kumar and comprising SI Agam Prasad, SI Braj Lal, ASI Gobind, ASI Surender, ASI Mintu, HC Vinod, HC Dharmraj, and HC Deepak was formed under the close supervision of Bhagwati Prasad, ACP/AGS, and the direction of Harsh Indora, IPS, DCP/Crime Branch, to trace the accused.
The team conducted persistent manual Intelligence gathering along with technical surveillance on Rajeev’s movements. On November 20, the team received credible secret information regarding his location. Acting swiftly, the AGS laid surveillance and successfully apprehended Rajeev from Dwarka Mor, Delhi.
During sustained interrogation, the accused admitted to his involvement in the attempt-to-murder case and revealed several past involvements in criminal activities.
Rajeev, a resident of Sanjay Basti, Timarpur, lives with his mother, younger brother Vishal, sister Babita, wife Simran, and four-year-old son. He is uneducated and works as a caretaker at a Sulabh toilet in Timarpur.
Due to drug addiction and association with criminal elements, he has been involved in unlawful activities since childhood and has been imprisoned multiple times. He is a declared Bad Character (BC) of PS Timarpur and a previous convict in FIR No. 190/2009, registered under Sections 395/397/34 of the IPC at PS Dwarka Sector-23, Delhi.

2nd Test: Bumrah dismisses Markram on stroke of tea as SA reach 82/1

Guwahati, Nov 22: Ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah brought a long-awaited breakthrough for India by dismissing Aiden Markram on the stroke of tea, as South Africa reached 82/1 in 26.5 overs against India at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
Bumrah had created an opportunity earlier in the first session, but KL Rahul failed to hold on to a sharp chance at slip, giving Markram a life on four. But the right-handed opener eventually fell in the final over before the 20-minute tea break by chopping on to his stumps off Bumrah.
Until that dismissal, Markram and Ryan Rickelton looked largely assured. It would be interesting to see if India, who toiled hard for the majority of the first session, will be able to capitalise on the breakthrough from Bumrah and gain an edge over the Proteas in the second session.
In the morning, after electing to bat first on a fresh red soil pitch, Markram and Rickelton ensured South Africa had a steady start against new ball bowlers Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. The duo got decent carry and swing, though two sets of byes went against wicketkeeper and skipper Rishabh Pant’s name.
Though the atmosphere was subdued at India’s newest Test venue due to sparse attendance, which was in complete contrast to the well‑attended Eden Gardens Test last week, Bumrah and Siraj continued to keep the openers in check. Markram finally opened his account with a solid punch off Bumrah for four, before surviving a dropped catch by Rahul at slip.
With Siraj bowling touch too full and wide, Markram and Rickelton found a few boundaries off him, as South Africa reached 34/0 at the first drinks break. Nitish Kumar Reddy struggled for consistency – drifting onto the pads too often and conceding boundaries to Markram, while Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar found some turn and bounce, though Rickelton got streaky boundaries off them.
Captain Pant’s decision to bring Bumrah late in the session to deliver the breakthrough paid off when he dismissed Markram and Rahul, who had earlier spilled a chance of him, had a smile full of relief on his face as India finally had a wicket before tea.
Brief Scores: South Africa 82/1 in 26.5 overs (Aiden Markram 38, Ryan Rickelton 35 not out; Jasprit Bumrah 1-7) against India.
