The accused was waiting for customers near a bridge when police received a tip-off and caught him red-handed.

In a significant breakthrough under Operation Prahar 2.0, the Amahiya police have arrested a man for illegally selling codeine-based cough syrup, commonly known as Corex. The accused was concealing the contraband in a water jar to avoid suspicion.

According to police, a tip-off was received on July 1 that a young man was sitting in suspicious condition near the culvert at Khamaria House in Narendra Nagar. The informant described him as wearing blue jeans and a sky-blue T-shirt, carrying a water jar containing illicit cough syrup and waiting for customers.

Acting on the information, the Amahiya police team reached the spot. The accused tried to flee upon seeing the police but was caught after a cordon was set up. He was identified as Mayank Mishra alias Aman Gautam (24), a resident of Sundar Nagar, Bodabag.

During the search, police recovered the illicit cough syrup hidden inside the water jar. The syrup was seized and the accused was arrested. A case has been registered against him under relevant sections.

Amahiya police station in-charge Shiva Agrawal said the district police have been continuously running campaigns against drug abuse. The operation was carried out based on intelligence inputs.

"Action will continue against those involved in the sale and trafficking of illicit narcotic substances. We are committed to making Rewa drug-free," Agrawal said.

Operation Prahar 2.0, launched by Rewa police earlier this year, targets drug peddlers and the illegal narcotics trade. Multiple arrests have been made under the campaign, with police focusing on both street-level dealers and supply chain networks.

Further investigation is underway to trace the source of the cough syrup and identify other links in the network.

The speeding truck hit the bike late Saturday night near Chorhata airstrip; police have registered a case and launched an investigation.

Two young men were killed and another critically injured after a speeding truck rammed into their bike late Saturday night in Rewa district's Chorhata police station area. All three victims belong to the same family.

The accident occurred in front of the Chorhata airstrip in Agdal. The truck hit the bike with such force that two of the riders died on the spot. The third was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

Family member Sanjay Kol identified the deceased as Chhotu Kol and Dilip Kol. The injured person was named as Pankaj Kol. All three were travelling together on the bike late at night when the accident happened.

Injured Undergoing Treatment

Locals informed the police immediately after the accident. Police arrived at the scene and rushed the injured Pankaj to a hospital, where he continues to receive treatment.

Chorhata police station in-charge Pawan Shukla said a police team reached the spot after receiving information about the incident. The bodies of the two deceased were taken into custody and sent to the mortuary for post-mortem.

"The accident occurred late Saturday night. Our team is investigating the matter. A case has been registered," Shukla said.

Rising Concern Over Road Safety

The accident is the latest in a series of fatal road incidents in Rewa district. Speeding trucks on highways and poorly lit roads have been identified as major contributing factors to such tragedies.

This incident also highlights the vulnerability of two-wheeler riders, especially at night. The loss of two young lives from the same family has left the community in shock.

Police officials have urged riders to exercise caution while travelling at night and to ensure proper lighting and reflective gear on their vehicles. Further details are awaited as the investigation continues.

The incident occurred on Friday night in Dubi village under Govindgarh police station limits; villagers demand compensation for the family.

A 30-year-old woman was killed after being struck by lightning in Rewa district's Govindgarh area on Friday night. The victim, identified as Sunita Patel, was working in her field sowing paddy when the bolt struck.

According to villagers, the weather suddenly turned hostile with thunder and rain. Before she could take cover, lightning struck directly, killing her on the spot.

Local residents rushed to the spot after hearing the thunderclap but found her already dead. The Govindgarh police reached the site after receiving information and sent the body for post-mortem examination.

Family in Grief, Village in Mourning

Patel's family members are in a state of shock and grief. The entire village has come together to offer condolences. Residents have demanded that the administration provide immediate financial assistance to the bereaved family.

Rising Concern Over Lightning Strikes

This incident comes amid a spate of lightning-related deaths across Madhya Pradesh. With monsoon activity picking up across the state, officials have repeatedly warned farmers and rural residents to take precautions during thunderstorms.

Meteorological department data suggests lightning strikes have claimed dozens of lives in the region over the past few years, with farmers working in open fields particularly vulnerable.

District authorities have urged residents to avoid working in open fields during thunderstorms and to seek shelter in safe structures when lightning is sighted.

Further details on the compensation provided to the family are awaited.

The incident, captured on video, shows a traffic constable being struck while trying to intervene between two warring parties.

A routine Thursday afternoon took a violent turn in Rewa's Dhobiya Tanki area when a drunk auto driver rammed his vehicle into two bike riders, triggering a chain of events that saw the driver being beaten by an angry mob and a traffic police constable being slapped in the process.

The accident occurred under the City Kotwali police station limits. According to eyewitnesses, the auto driver, who appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, was speeding when he hit the two bikers. What followed was chaos.

Instead of the situation calming down, the auto driver became aggressive and began arguing with the bike riders. The argument quickly escalated into a physical confrontation in the middle of the road.

Mob Takes Matters Into Its Own Hands

Local residents and passersby, angered by the driver's behaviour, surrounded him. Within moments, the crowd turned hostile and began thrashing the driver with kicks and punches. The mob quickly grew in size, and the situation remained tense for several minutes.

A video of the incident has surfaced, showing the crowd gathered on the road and the scuffle unfolding. The footage clearly shows the traffic constable being struck while attempting to intervene.

Traffic police personnel who reached the spot tried to bring the situation under control. As the constable stepped in to mediate, he was slapped by one of the parties involved in the fight, according to sources.

Police Investigation Underway

Officials said a police team arrived at the scene after receiving information about the incident and managed to bring the situation under control.

Police are currently working to identify both parties involved in the altercation. Officials said action will be taken based on complaints and evidence gathered during the investigation.

"It was a chaotic scene. The auto driver was visibly drunk and aggressive. People were furious," said a local shopkeeper who witnessed the incident.

Why This Incident Matters

The Rewa road rage incident highlights a growing concern across urban India — the combination of drunk driving, road accidents, and public anger leading to mob violence. While the mob's frustration is understandable, authorities have repeatedly warned against taking the law into one's own hands.

This is not the first such incident in the city. Similar cases of road rage and public violence have been reported from various parts of Madhya Pradesh in recent months.

Police officials have urged the public to report such incidents to authorities rather than resorting to violence. Further details are awaited as the investigation progresses.

The live wire came crashing down near a fuel station early Thursday morning; officials rushed to cut power supply.

A major tragedy was narrowly averted at the Kanodia petrol pump in Rewa city on Thursday morning when a live 440-volt main phase wire snapped and fell from an 11 KV power line pole. The incident occurred around 6 am, when the line was still carrying current.

The sight of a live wire sparking near a petrol pump sent shockwaves through the area. Eyewitnesses said the wire came down with a loud snap, creating panic among locals who had begun their morning routines.

The timing proved crucial. Had the wire fallen even an hour later, the situation could have turned catastrophic, locals said. The petrol pump sees significant footfall during morning hours, with vehicles lining up for fuel.

"At that time, people had just started coming out. The wire fell with a loud sound. It's sheer luck that no one was passing by at that moment," said a local shopkeeper who witnessed the incident.

MPEB Team Responds Swiftly

As soon as the incident was reported, the Madhya Pradesh Electricity Board (MPEB) team rushed to the spot without any delay. Officials immediately cut off the main power supply to the area, eliminating the risk of electrocution and potential fire hazard at the fuel station.

The quick response prevented what could have been a devastating accident. A spark from a live wire near a petrol pump could have triggered an explosion, officials said.

Technical teams then began repairing the damaged line. Power supply was restored after the repair work was completed.

Residents Demand Regular Inspections

While locals appreciated the electricity department's prompt action, many raised concerns about the condition of power lines in the area.

"This isn't the first time such an incident has happened. These lines are old and poorly maintained. The department needs to conduct regular inspections before something worse happens," said a resident living near the petrol pump.

According to preliminary information, the wire may have snapped due to wear and tear or weather-related factors. However, MPEB officials said they are investigating the exact cause of the breakage.

Officials added that the area's power infrastructure is being reviewed to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Why This Incident Matters

The near-miss in Rewa highlights a recurring safety concern across Madhya Pradesh — ageing power infrastructure in busy commercial zones. Petrol pumps, by their very nature, are high-risk zones where any electrical fault can have catastrophic consequences.

Experts point out that regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn-out cables are not just regulatory requirements but critical safety imperatives. This incident serves as yet another reminder that infrastructure neglect can have deadly consequences.

Further details on the investigation are awaited.

A protest against entry fees at Rewa’s Eco Park turned ugly on Sunday, leading to a police case against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Pramod Sharma. The city Kotwali police registered an FIR against him on Monday for allegedly indulging in assault, holding an unauthorised demonstration, and creating a disturbance inside public premises.

According to police, Sharma, who has been vocally opposing the entry fee for a long time, reached the Eco Park along with his supporters and started a protest inside the park premises. The situation soon escalated into a verbal confrontation with park staff, which reportedly turned into a scuffle. Police present at the spot intervened to bring the situation under control.

Pramod Sharma has countered the allegations, claiming that the protest was against “illegal collection” of ₹100 per person at the Eco Park. He accused the park management of unauthorised charging and said his demonstration was meant to highlight the issue affecting common visitors.

On the other hand, the park administration and police acted on complaints of unauthorised gathering, obstructing public services, and manhandling staff. The FIR includes charges related to holding a protest without permission, disturbing government functioning, and creating a ruckus in a public place.

Investigation Underway  

City Kotwali SHO Nisha Mishra confirmed that a case has been registered against Pramod Sharma based on the complaint. “The entire incident is being investigated. CCTV footage from the park is being examined to ascertain the sequence of events,” she said. Further legal action will follow the probe.

The episode has created a stir in local political circles. Supporters of Sharma have alleged high-handedness by the authorities, while park officials maintain that proper entry fees were introduced as per rules to maintain the facility.

Eco Park in Rewa is a popular spot for locals and tourists, especially during weekends and evenings. The introduction of entry charges had already been a point of discussion among residents. Many visitors have complained about the fee, while authorities argue it is needed for upkeep and better maintenance of the park.

This is not the first time entry fees at public parks and gardens have sparked protests in smaller cities. Similar debates have occurred in other parts of Madhya Pradesh where civic bodies have tried to generate revenue through user charges.

As of now, both sides are sticking to their versions. Police have appealed for calm and said the investigation will reveal the full picture. Further details are awaited as the probe continues.

The development comes at a time when local AAP leaders are trying to expand their base in Rewa district by taking up civic issues. The outcome of the case could have political implications in the coming days.

Accused Nageshwar Singh Baghel picked up from Purwa Kalyanpur village in joint operation; cyber cell investigating social media post and possible foreign link

A man was arrested from Rewa district on Sunday for allegedly posting obscene and derogatory comments on social media against Aditi Yadav, the daughter of former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav.

The Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF), along with the Kanpur Commissionerate Cyber Crime Police and Rewa police, conducted a joint operation to apprehend the accused. Nageshwar Singh Baghel (32), a resident of Purwa Kalyanpur village under Panwar police station limits in Rewa district, was taken into custody from his village.

The case originated from a complaint filed by the National Secretary of the Samajwadi Party Advocates' Wing at the Cyber Crime Police Station in Kanpur Commissionerate. The complaint alleged that a Facebook user had shared an altered image of Akhilesh Yadav's daughter along with vulgar and derogatory remarks.

Following the complaint, police registered Case No. 38/2026 at the Cyber Crime Police Station under multiple sections: Section 79 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which deals with words or acts intended to insult a woman's modesty; Section 336(4) of the BNS, relating to forgery intended to damage a person's reputation; and Section 66E of the Information Technology Act, which addresses privacy violations in cyberspace.

The Cyber Crime Police launched an investigation, examining technical data obtained from the social media platform along with digital evidence and electronic records. The investigation led them to Rewa in Madhya Pradesh.

An STF team from Uttar Pradesh reached Madhya Pradesh and, with the help of local police, traced the accused. Panwar police station in-charge Praveen Upadhyay led the local team that conducted the joint operation and took Baghel into custody. After completing necessary legal formalities, the accused was handed over to the Uttar Pradesh STF and taken to Uttar Pradesh for further questioning.

Police officials said the investigation is ongoing. Authorities are also looking into whether any other individuals or digital platforms are linked to the case. Investigators have found that one of the social media accounts linked to the controversy was allegedly being operated from the United States.

Kanpur Commissioner of Police Raghubir Lal said the police are committed to protecting the dignity, respect and safety of women. "Sharing edited images, false information, offensive comments or any content on social media that damages a woman's reputation is a punishable offence, and strict legal action will be taken against those involved," he said.

Earlier, on June 17, FIRs were registered against multiple individuals accused of making objectionable comments about Akhilesh Yadav's daughter. The controversy had drawn widespread condemnation, with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath publicly defending Aditi Yadav and directing police to register an FIR against those responsible.

Following his arrest, Baghel was produced before a court, which later granted him bail.

Police officials have made it clear that social media platforms are being continuously monitored for objectionable and offensive content, and strict legal action will be taken in such cases. Further investigation is underway.

Tension gripped Prakash Chowk area late last night after three masked men brutally assaulted a parking staff member at Usha Gold Parking when he tried to stop them from stealing.

According to preliminary information, the trio entered the parking premises with the intention of theft. When parking employee Kailash Soni and his colleagues tried to stop them, the accused attacked them with sticks. Kailash Soni, a resident of Tikri under Sagra police station, was badly injured in the assault. He suffered fractures in both hands and legs and is undergoing treatment at a local hospital.

Eyewitnesses said the three men had their faces covered and were roaming suspiciously in the parking area for quite some time. As soon as the employees confronted them, the miscreants launched a sudden attack, creating panic at the spot.

Police reached the spot immediately after receiving information and have registered a case against unidentified accused. Officers are now scanning CCTV footage from the area to identify and nab the culprits at the earliest.

The incident has spread fear among local residents and parking workers in the Prakash Chowk area. Many have demanded swift action by the police and better security arrangements in the busy commercial zone.

This is not the first incident of its kind in the region, where parking areas often become soft targets after dark. Authorities are reviewing the case and further details are awaited.

Mass yoga event held at sports complex on Sunday; hundreds of participants including MP, IG, officials join

On the occasion of the 11th International Yoga Day, a mass yoga program was organized at the sports complex in Rewa on Sunday morning. Madhya Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla performed yoga and gave a message of healthy living to the people.

Rewa MP Janardan Mishra, Vindhya Vikas Pradhikaran chairman, Rewa IG Gaurav Rajput, administrative officials, employees and a large number of citizens participated in the event.

Under the guidance of yoga instructors, everyone performed various asanas, pranayama and meditation. The entire complex was filled with enthusiasm and positive energy. Participants practiced yoga with discipline and concentration and took a pledge for a healthy lifestyle.

Shukla said yoga is not just a one-day event but a complete discipline for living a healthy and balanced life. "If a person wants a disease-free body and a healthy mind, they must do yoga daily. Regular yoga keeps the body healthy and also relieves mental stress," he said.

He emphasized that yoga is India's ancient tradition and cultural heritage. Today the entire world is recognizing its importance. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's efforts for giving yoga global recognition, with many countries now observing Yoga Day.

"Yoga is our ancient Indian discipline. If you want to stay healthy, you have to make yoga, pranayama and meditation a part of your life. Today the whole world is adopting this tradition of India, and this is a matter of pride for us," Rajendra Shukla said.

"A healthy society and a strong nation can only be built when yoga reaches every household," he added.

A forest ranger posted in Satna district has come under police investigation after a dispute at a hotel in Rewa's Chorhata area led to the registration of a First Information Report (FIR). The incident, which reportedly occurred at a hotel in the city, drew public attention after videos of the confrontation circulated on social media.

According to police officials, the complaint was filed by the ranger's wife, who alleged that her husband was staying at the hotel with another woman. She claimed that after confronting the two, a heated argument broke out and she was physically assaulted during the altercation.

Chorhata police have registered a case under relevant sections related to assault and have initiated an investigation into the matter. Authorities said the allegations are being examined and statements from those involved are being recorded as part of the inquiry.

Dispute Erupts at Hotel

Police sources said the incident took place at a hotel located within the Chorhata police station limits. The complainant reportedly travelled from Satna after receiving information that her husband was staying at the property.

Upon reaching the hotel, she allegedly confronted her husband and found another woman inside the room. The situation quickly escalated into a verbal dispute, which later turned into a physical altercation.

According to the complaint, the woman sustained injuries during the confrontation. Based on her statement, police registered an FIR and began legal proceedings.

Viral Video Draws Attention

Reports indicate that portions of the incident were recorded on mobile phones and later shared on social media platforms. The videos, which have since circulated widely, show scenes of a heated argument inside and around the hotel premises.

Eyewitness accounts suggest that amid the commotion, the ranger left the hotel and moved toward the bypass area. Some witnesses claimed he later departed the location in a passing truck. However, police have not officially confirmed those details and are verifying all aspects of the incident.

Officials have also not released information regarding the identity of the other woman involved, and no allegations have been established against her at this stage.

Police Investigation Underway

According to Chorhata police station officials, the case currently pertains to allegations of assault made by the complainant. Investigators are reviewing available evidence, including video footage and witness statements, to determine the sequence of events.

Police emphasized that the matter remains under investigation and that conclusions will be drawn only after all facts have been verified. No official statement has been issued regarding any departmental action against the ranger.

In a remarkable story of dedication and environmental stewardship, a couple from Madhya Pradesh's Rewa district has transformed personal grief into a legacy of greenery. Dinanath Kol and his wife Nanki Devi, residents of Dhurkuch village in the Dabhaura region, chose to devote their lives to planting and nurturing trees after being unable to have children. Over the past 35 years, the couple has planted more than 10,000 saplings and converted nearly 105 acres of barren land into a dense forest.

Today, their creation stands as a symbol of perseverance, environmental protection, and community inspiration. What was once dry, rocky, and unproductive land is now covered with thousands of trees, providing a natural habitat for wildlife and contributing to the region's ecological balance.

According to local residents, the forest has become a well-known landmark in the area and is often referred to as a living example of how individual efforts can bring about significant environmental change.

A Mission Born from Adversity

Dinanath Kol recalls that his journey began in 1990 when he collected discarded mango seeds while returning from a local event and planted them on unused land. Many of the saplings failed to survive during the early years due to harsh conditions and limited resources. However, he remained committed to the effort.

The couple had faced social criticism and emotional challenges because they did not have children. During that difficult period, Nanki Devi suggested that instead of dwelling on their disappointment, they should dedicate themselves to a meaningful cause that would leave a lasting impact on society.

Inspired by that idea, the couple began planting trees regularly and gradually expanded their efforts. Over time, what started as a small initiative evolved into a vast forest ecosystem.

A Haven for Wildlife and Nature

The forest now contains a variety of fruit-bearing and medicinal trees, including mango, gooseberry, guava, and jujube. The dense greenery has significantly improved the local environment and helped restore biodiversity in the area.

Reports suggest that peacocks, deer, nilgai, rabbits, and numerous bird species now inhabit the forest. The once-barren landscape has become a thriving ecosystem filled with birdsong and natural vegetation.

Environmental observers note that such grassroots initiatives play an important role in combating land degradation, improving air quality, and supporting wildlife conservation.

The couple's journey was not without obstacles. To ensure a steady water supply for the saplings, they arranged for a well to be dug. However, the structure was later filled in after being classified as an encroachment. Water shortages led to the loss of several plants, but the couple continued their work despite the setbacks.

A Legacy of Dedication

Dinanath Kol says he considers the trees his children and has spent much of his life caring for them. Watching the forest grow has brought him a sense of fulfillment and purpose that extends beyond personal circumstances.

Their story highlights the power of determination and selfless service. At a time when environmental conservation has become a global priority, the couple's efforts demonstrate how individuals can make a lasting contribution to nature and society.

As governments and communities focus on increasing green cover and addressing climate challenges, the 105-acre forest created by Dinanath Kol and Nanki Devi stands as a powerful reminder that meaningful change often begins with a single act of commitment.

Their journey continues to inspire environmentalists, local communities, and nature lovers across the region, proving that dedication and vision can transform even the most barren landscapes into thriving ecosystems.
