Nursing student held for snatching female employee’s chain at AIIMS Bhopal
Bhopal (PTI): Police on Wednesday arrested a nursing student for allegedly snatching a female employee’s chain when she was in an elevator of a high-security building at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Bhopal, officials said.
Accused Sunil Meena, 22, is a resident of Rajasthan and studies in a private nursing college in Bhopal. He allegedly committed the crime as he was facing financial difficulties, police said. He also has expensive desires, they said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone 2) Vivek Singh told PTI Videos Meena was caught in the Bagh Sewania police station area and was subsequently arrested after he confessed to snatching the AIIMS staffer’s chain.

The official said Meena broke the law due to pressure from being in debt and his desire for expensive things. “Furthermore, the accused was facing financial difficulties after he transferred his money to a wrong account,” he said.
The accused chose AIIMS because he thought it would be easier to escape after committing the crime in a crowded area.
Singh said the jeweller who had purchased the stolen chain from Meena has also been charged in the case.
On January 25, a CCTV camera captured a chain-snatching incident at AIIMS Bhopal. The footage shows hospital employee Rajshree Soni stepping into an elevator to go to the fourth floor of a building. As soon as the elevator stops, a masked man snatches her chain and runs away.

Assam: RSS files police complaints against Kharge for 'derogatory' remarks at poll rally
Guwahati (PTI): The RSS on Wednesday said it has filed complaints at two police stations in Assam against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge for allegedly comparing the ideology of the organisation and the BJP with a 'poisonous snake' at an election rally.
The complaints were filed to seek legal action over alleged ''derogatory, provocative, and communally sensitive statements made during a recent election rally in south Assam, a RSS spokesman said
In the complaints, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh alleged that the Congress chief had made controversial remarks during an election rally in Nilambazar under the Karimganj South assembly constituency in Sribhumi district.
"If a poisonous snake is moving in front of you while you are offering namaz, you must stop the prayer and rush to kill the poisonous snake first - that is what the Quran prescribes you to do. I tell you that the RSS and BJP are like that same poisonous snake,” Kharge was quoted as saying in the complaints.
The RSS expressed serious concern, claiming that such remarks were "inflammatory in nature and capable of inciting hostility, intimidation, and violence against workers and supporters of the RSS and the BJP".
The complaints pointed out that the statement constitutes a ''corrupt electoral practice under Section 83 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, and the remarks criminally intimidated the public and promoted enmity between supporters of different political and social groups''.
Describing the ideology of RSS and BJP as “poisonous” and calling for their elimination could encourage "bodily harm against members and supporters of these organisations", the complaints said.
Kharge's remarks attempt to promote ''communal division between Hindu and Muslim communities, potentially disturbing public peace and harmony in Assam and influencing the electoral environment", the RSS said.
The complainants also claimed that such statements might lead to communal tensions or clashes if not addressed promptly by authorities.
The complaints were filed by RSS' North Assam secretary Khagen Saikia at Dispur Police Station and South Assam's secretary Jyotsnamoy Chakraborty at Silchar PS.
The BJP had also filed complaints on the same allegations at the Basishta Police Station here and with the Election Commission on Tuesday.
