Bitcoin scam: SIT arrests DySP Shridhar Pujar for tampering evidence
Bengaluru: Sleuths of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) arrested DySP Shridhar Pujar for allegedly tampering with evidence in the BIT coin scam that happened during the previous BJP government's tenure. The team arrested the accused after an enquiry in Bengaluru on Monday.
An FIR had been lodged against Shridhar, DySP at Internal Security Division, for tampering with evidence related to the bit coin case at Cottonpete police station. He was accused of helping accused hackers Sriki and Robin Khandelwal during an investigation, after arresting the duo. A trial court had issued warrant by considering him 'declared accused' for absconding and not appearing for any enquiries.
However, Pujar had submitted a plea at the High Court questioning the warrant. The court had cancelled the 'declared accused' warrant issued by the lower court against the accused officer. Now SIT has arrested him and taken him into custody in connection with the sensational case.

“Bleeding on the road, I begged for help but no one came”: Bengaluru woman recounts husband’s death
Bengaluru: A woman in Bengaluru has shared a painful account of how her husband died after they were repeatedly denied medical help and ignored by passersby during a medical emergency, NDTV reported.
The victim, 34-year-old Venkataramanan, a garage mechanic from Balaji Nagar, developed severe chest pain around 3.30 am. His wife immediately took him on a motorcycle in search of medical help.
"He complained about chest pain, and we went to the first hospital. However, the doctor was not on duty. At the second hospital, we were told he had a stroke and to go to another hospital. When we called for ambulance services, they did not respond properly. Humanity failed, but we did our bit by donating his eye." NDTV quoted his wife as saying.
According to the report, after being turned away twice, the couple met with an accident on the road. CCTV footage later showed the woman, covered in blood, pleading with folded hands as vehicles passed by, but no one stopped to help.

The wait ended after several minutes when a cab driver stopped and rushed Venkataramanan to a nearby hospital. Doctors there declared him dead on arrival.
As per the report, the family decided to donate Venkataramanan’s eyes, giving sight to others even in death.
Venkataraman's mother, who had lost her last surviving child, had no words to express herself: "I have no words. I do not know what to say. My son is gone."
"The government should understand a health emergency. My daughter is left with two children. Who will look after them?" asked his mother-in-law. His wife, mother, and two children, a five-year-old son and an 18-month-old daughter now survive Venkataramanan.
The incident has once again raised serious questions about emergency healthcare access, ambulance response, and public apathy in the city.
