Bilaspur, the judicial capital, has now become not just a "crime capital" but a "death zone." The city's law and order and traffic system have completely collapsed. On one hand, criminals are openly shooting, committing robberies, and slitting throats, while on the other, the city's streets have become the domain of unruly minors.

The police administration consistently claims that it is working day and night to crack down on criminals, increasing patrols and conducting checking campaigns. But Khabar Chalisa's biggest and most direct question to the system is: "If the police are truly doing so much, why isn't crime decreasing in Bilaspur?" A recent tragic road accident and a series of incidents have shaken the entire city. These incidents have proven that all the police's claims are merely on paper and empty promises.

These are the horrific incidents that have exposed the police's claims of 'strict action':

1. 'Speed ​​of death' on smart roads: Minor snatches life of 17-year-old Rudra Pratap

Minors driving high-speed vehicles on Bilaspur's roads are taking the lives of innocent people. Recently, a horrific accident occurred on the Padmashree Shyamlal Chaturvedi Smart Road (near Warehouse Road). In the morning, 17-year-old Rudra Pratap Sharma, a resident of Mangala Abhishek Vihar and a Class 11 student of Maharishi School, was riding his Activa. A speeding car coming from the front hit him with such force that Rudra was flung 10 feet into the air and fell on the road.

After the collision, the out-of-control car also collided with an oncoming school minibus. According to eyewitnesses, the car was being driven by a minor student, and other minors were also inside, who fled the scene after the incident. Rudra suffered serious head injuries and died while undergoing treatment at Apollo Hospital. This incident is not just an accident, but a slap in the face to the traffic police and those who provide vehicles to unlicensed minors.

2. 3.35 crore rupees robbed from a bullion trader: Peace vanished right under the nose of the police.

In Sarkanda (Rajkishore Nagar), masked criminals rammed the car of the owner of Mahalaxmi Jewelers in the middle of the road. They brandished a pistol and fled after looting ₹3.35 crore (2.2 kg of gold and cash). When the businessman resisted, they smashed his head with the butt of the pistol and a hammer. When the police are so vigilant, how could criminals roam the city with such heavy weapons?

3. Masturi firing incident: Open firing, bloody battle for supremacy

Criminals in the Masturi area issued an open challenge to the police by firing bullets in broad daylight. Driven by a personal rivalry, the criminals opened fire outside an office, injuring two innocent people. Released from jail, the criminals are openly brandishing pistols, while the police's informant network is fast asleep.

4. Torwa becomes a 'murder zone': Public murder near a furnace and an elderly man's throat slit

Criminals have defied police patrols in the Torwa police station area. An auto driver was stabbed to death in public near the Deorikhurd liquor distillery. In the same area, a 65-year-old man was beheaded in broad daylight. Antisocial elements congregate around liquor shops, but police patrols are limited to VIP routes.
