Officials allegedly distributed VIP and fancy vehicle numbers like giveaways. Investigators claim officers manipulated official records and created forged documents. The illegal allotments caused an estimated loss of nearly ₹500 crore to the state exchequer. Police have booked 39 officials under serious sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

The accused include senior transport officials and staff members. Names mentioned in the FIR include Joint Commissioner Dharmpal Aasiwal, RTO Indu Meena, ARTO Prakash Tahliani, DTO Sanjay Sharma, and several clerks. Authorities have also initiated action against more than a dozen other employees.

Officials revealed that at least 2,129 vehicles received three-digit numbers illegally. Gandhinagar SHO Bhajanlal confirmed revenue losses due to manipulated fancy number allocations.

Sources said RTO Rajendra Singh Shekhawat uncovered the scam during an internal review. The state government’s strict stance may lead to similar FIRs in other districts. Police have begun a detailed investigation.

The family waited almost two years for justice. They visited offices. They filed reminders. But the municipality did not release the ₹11.36 lakh compensation ordered earlier by the Additional District and Sessions Judge of Kuchaman.

Court officials immediately reached the municipal building. Panic spread among the staff as news of the order circulated.

The Executive Officer rushed to the court and asked for 24 hours. He promised payment. The court accepted the request but kept the pressure on. The hearing will continue on 11 December, and officials now face strict judicial monitoring.

According to police, the baby was found in a deserted area and was struggling to breathe when rescued. Locals reported hearing faint cries, prompting them to search the spot where the newborn was hidden. Shockingly, a stone had been forced into the baby’s mouth and sealed, apparently to prevent the infant from making noise.

The child was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors removed the stone and provided urgent medical care. The baby is now under observation and is reported to be stable.

Police have launched an investigation to trace those responsible for this act of cruelty. Preliminary inquiries suggest the child may have been abandoned due to family or societal pressures, though authorities have not ruled out other motives.

Child rights activists have condemned the incident, calling it a grave violation of human rights and demanding strict action against the perpetrators. The Rajasthan State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has also sought a detailed report from the local administration.

Officials have urged the public to share any information that might help identify the baby’s parents or those involved in the abandonment.
