HC Affirms Right to Be Forgotten in Quashed FIR Case The Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court recently reaffirmed that the constitutional right to privacy includes the “right to be forgotten,” directing its registry to anonymize the identity of a man whose criminal case was quashed nearly eight years ago. The court also ordered the removal of his name from publicly searchable court records. A division bench of Justices Urmila Joshi-Phalke and Nivedita Mehta passed the order while allowing a criminal writ petition filed by a 37-year-old environment and climate change consultant from Jaipur. His identity was withheld in the proceedings as “ABC” due to the quashed FIR. The petitioner sought directions to mask his name and other personal identifiers from digitally accessible versions of orders related to two criminal cases. The FIR, registered against him in 2017 at Bajaj Nagar police station in Nagpur, was quashed following an amicable settlement between the parties. The petitioner argued that unredacted court records remained available on the high court website and were indexed by internet search engines, adversely affecting his professional opportunities and causing social stigma to his family. He contended that the continued availability of the records violated his fundamental right to privacy. The state opposed the petition but did not dispute the petitioner’s right to privacy, submitting that an appropriate order could be passed. The bench allowed the plea, emphasizing that the right to privacy is an intrinsic part of Article 21 of the Constitution. The judges noted that the concept of the “right to be forgotten” encompasses the right to have personal information removed from public records when criminal proceedings are quashed.#nagpur #jaipur #bombay_high_court #urmila_joshi_phalke #nivedita_mehta

Cockroach Janta Party Founder Slapped During Protest in Jaipur Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), was allegedly assaulted during a protest in Jaipur on June 15, 2026. According to police and eyewitness accounts, Dipke was carried on the shoulders of his supporters as he arrived at the protest site near the Shaheed Smarak. During this moment, some youths in the crowd reportedly slapped him multiple times. Following the incident, Dipke’s supporters restrained the alleged perpetrators before police intervened. Two youths were subsequently detained for further investigation. The protest, which drew a large gathering of youths, was organized to address grievances related to the alleged NEET paper leak and high unemployment rates. Dipke addressed the crowd, condemning divisive politics and urging unity across religious and caste lines. He declared, “But we cockroaches will not be intimidated by these tactics. (Union Education Minister) Dharmendra Pradhan will have to resign...this is our only aim,” and reiterated his demand for Pradhan’s resignation on social media. One of the detained accused, Rakesh Gurjar, claimed to be a nationalist and accused Dipke of having a “Jihadi” mindset, alleging that the paper leak was a fabricated excuse. CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka criticized Rajasthan’s education system, stating that the state—known for producing IITians and chartered accountants—was experiencing a decline in academic standards. He emphasized that the protest reflected growing concerns and pledged efforts to reform the education system. Protesters carried placards with slogans against corruption and examination irregularities, demanding accountability for the NEET, CBSE, CUET, and SSC paper leaks. The demonstration also included calls for action on youth-related issues.#jaipur #sonam_wangchuk #dharmendra_pradhan #cockroach_janta_party #abhijeet_dipke

Jaipur students stage unique protest over drinking water shortage using HOD's fridge A group of students at Rajasthan University’s Central Library in Jaipur took an unconventional approach to address a severe drinking water shortage during the intense summer heat. They removed a refrigerator from an HOD’s (Head of Department) office and placed it outside the library, making cold water accessible to fellow students. The incident, which quickly went viral, has drawn attention to long-standing complaints about inadequate water facilities and poor infrastructure on campus. The students’ actions came amid soaring temperatures in Jaipur, where the scorching weather has exacerbated the crisis. According to reports, the university’s administration had failed to address repeated requests for functioning water coolers and improved drinking water access. Students claimed that damaged coolers remained unrepaired, and new arrangements were not made despite the extreme heat. This lack of response fueled frustration, leading the group to take matters into their own hands. Youth leader Shubham Rewad, who intervened after witnessing students struggling to find water inside the Central Library, amplified the controversy. Rewad argued that the refrigerator in the HOD’s office was not personal property but had been purchased using student fee money. He emphasized that students had the right to use facilities funded by their fees, highlighting the perceived misuse of resources. Rewad also criticized the university authorities for ignoring repeated complaints about the water crisis, which he said had left students forced to act independently. Students alleged that while they endured the harsh conditions without access to cold water, university officials continued working in air-conditioned rooms with ample drinking water.#jaipur #rajasthan_university #shubham_rewad #central_library #hod

India Bakes At 47.6 Degrees: Heatwave Explained, From Urban Heat To El Nino Large portions of India endured extreme heat Tuesday as temperatures surged far beyond seasonal averages, with Delhi recording 42 to 44 degrees Celsius and cities like Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Jaipur, and Lucknow experiencing 41 to 43 degrees. In Uttar Pradesh’s Banda, the mercury climbed to a staggering 47.6 degrees Celsius, a record for the region, while similar conditions persisted in Vidarbha, Maharashtra. Coastal cities like Hyderabad and Chennai saw daytime highs in the mid-to-high 30s, while Mumbai remained in the high 30s but with high humidity. Even nighttime temperatures in Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir exceeded normal levels by five degrees, leaving residents without relief. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) warned that heatwave conditions would persist for several days, with temperatures likely to remain several degrees above normal. In some areas, temperatures could surpass 45 degrees before western disturbances or localized thunderstorms bring relief to the north and northeast. The south will face hot days and humid nights, while the northeast and parts of eastern India may see increased rainfall and thunderstorms. Health advisories issued by the government and medical professionals emphasize hydration, limiting outdoor activity during peak heat hours, and monitoring for heatstroke symptoms. Hospitals are preparing for an influx of heat-related illnesses, while power grids face heightened demand for cooling. In rural areas, farmers must contend with heat stress on crops and livestock. The intensity and spread of the heatwave are attributed to both domestic and global factors. Domestically, the "urban heat island" effect exacerbates temperatures in cities, where concrete and steel structures absorb heat instead of vegetation.#nagpur #delhi #india #jaipur #ahmedabad

Operation Clean Sweep: Jaipur Officials Conduct Midnight Inspection on Scooters to Boost Sanitation Jaipur’s administration has intensified its efforts to maintain cleanliness ahead of a sanitation survey, with officials taking proactive measures to ensure the city meets its goals. On the night of May 10, 2026, the district collector, Sandesh Nayak, and the municipal commissioner, Om Kasera, conducted a surprise inspection of the city’s streets on scooters, highlighting the administration’s commitment to addressing sanitation challenges. The operation, dubbed “Operation Clean Sweep,” aimed to tackle persistent issues such as littering, improper waste disposal, and inadequate street cleaning. The initiative was launched to ensure that the city’s cleanliness standards are met ahead of a scheduled survey, which is expected to rank Jaipur among the cleanest cities in Rajasthan. The midnight operation, conducted between 12 a.m. and 5 a.m., allowed officials to assess the city’s sanitation efforts without the usual daytime crowds and traffic congestion. During the inspection, both officials rode scooters, accompanied by teams of sanitation workers, to personally observe the conditions on the streets. They ensured that waste collection and disposal systems were functioning efficiently and that public spaces were free of debris. The decision to conduct the sweep at night was strategic. Officials explained that daytime operations often face challenges due to heavy traffic and the presence of vendors in markets and narrow alleys, which hinder thorough cleaning. By shifting the focus to nighttime, the administration could address these issues without disrupting daily activities.#jaipur #surat #operation_clean_sweep #district_collector_sandesh_nayak #municipal_commissioner_om_kasera

Jaipur Operation Clean Sweep: Nighttime Sweeping Mission to Boost City Cleanliness The city of Jaipur witnessed a major cleanliness drive as officials and workers worked tirelessly during the night to clear streets and public spaces. The operation, known as "Operation Clean Sweep," was launched to address the challenges of maintaining hygiene in the city, particularly in narrow alleys and crowded markets where daytime cleaning efforts were hindered by heavy foot traffic and vehicle congestion. The initiative, which ran from midnight to 5 a.m., involved over 2,500 workers and officials, including the Collector and Commissioner, who personally inspected the areas to ensure the mission’s success.

Rajasthan Royals' Leadership Under Scrutiny After IPL 2026 Collapse Rajasthan Royals suffered a crushing 5-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad in their opening match of the IPL 2026 season at Jaipur. The team's captain, Riyan Parag, faced intense criticism for his leadership and batting performance, which many believe contributed to the loss. The match saw Rajasthan collapse under pressure, failing to defend a modest target of 229 runs. Parag's decision-making as captain came under fire, particularly his bowling strategy. Despite having top-class spinners Ravi Bishnoi and Ravindra Jadeja in his squad, Parag restricted both to just one over each. This limited their ability to take wickets and disrupt the opposition's innings. Additionally, Parag overspent his overs on bowler Brajesh Sharma, allocating four overs to him, which further strained the team's resources. Parag's batting struggles also drew attention. In his own innings, he managed only seven runs before being dismissed by Pat Cummins. Across eight matches so far in the tournament, Parag has scored just 88 runs, with his highest score being 20. His lack of consistency at the crease has raised questions about his ability to lead from the front. Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag weighed in on the situation, criticizing Parag's captaincy and batting. "Rajasthan's management needs to reconsider Riyan Parag's leadership," Sehwag said in an interview. "He hasn't proven himself as a leader. His strategies are unclear, and his batting has been disappointing. For instance, in the Hyderabad match, he gave Ravi Bishnoi and Ravindra Jadeja only one over each, which didn't allow them to take wickets effectively. His focus on batting has also distracted him from leading the team properly.#jaipur #rajasthan_royals #sunrisers_hyderabad #virender_sehwag #riyan_parag

IPL Rising Stars Struggle Story; Mukul Chaudhary Ashok Sharma Aniket Verma | IPL 2026 Rajasthan's capital Jaipur, 80 kilometers away from the village of Ramputra, where two brothers, Akshay and Ashok, spent their childhood playing cricket in their home courtyard. The older brother would often throw the ball at the younger one’s chest or head, prompting Ashok to practice fast bowling relentlessly. Despite financial struggles, their father, who earned a mere 10,000 rupees monthly through farming and selling newspapers, could only send one child to an academy. The older brother urged Ashok to pursue cricket, leading him to enroll at Jaipur’s Araval Cricket Academy. There, coach Vivek Yadav provided critical support. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the coach’s death forced Ashok to abandon both the academy and cricket, returning to help his father with farming. Yet, in the 2026 IPL season, Ashok Sharma emerged as the fastest bowler, delivering a ball at 154.2 km/h. His journey reflects the challenges faced by young athletes in India, balancing familial responsibilities and dreams. The article highlights the struggles of rising stars like Ashok Sharma, whose story mirrors that of other athletes in the IPL 2026 season. While the tournament has only progressed 25% through its schedule, several promising talents have already made their mark. These athletes, often from humble backgrounds, navigate personal and professional hurdles to compete at the highest level. Ashok’s father’s decision to prioritize cricket over farming underscores the sacrifices required for success in sports. Despite financial constraints, families often invest in their children’s athletic ambitions, even at great personal cost.#rajasthan #jaipur #ashok_sharma #araval_cricket_academy #vivek_yadav
