Major developments unfolded in the high-profile Kapsad abduction-murder case on Saturday night and Sunday. The main accused, Paras Som, and the abducted girl, Ruby, underwent medical examinations at the district hospital. This medical procedure was carried out as a mandatory step before their court appearance to ensure there are no gaps in the subsequent legal process.
Paras Som, under police custody, was brought to the district hospital under tight security, where a team of doctors conducted his medical examination. Ruby was also examined separately. Sources said that during the medical check-up, doctors assessed Ruby’s physical and mental condition. The medical report is considered crucial as it will be submitted as evidence in court.
A major development unfolded on Saturday in the sensational kidnapping and murder case in Kapsad village under the Sardhana police station area of Meerut. The police recovered Ruby, who had been missing for three days, around 6 pm on Saturday. The main accused, Paras Som, was also arrested along with her. According to the police, both were trying to escape to Haridwar from Roorkee railway station. The police brought them back to Meerut around 10:30 pm. The SSP said that in the preliminary interrogation, Paras Som has confessed to his crime.
Tech giant Google has introduced a major artificial intelligence update to its popular email platform, Gmail. The company has launched a new AI Inbox feature that will not only read emails but also handle a variety of tasks, from drafting emails to creating to-do lists. Its goal is to transform Gmail into a smart task management workspace.
AI Inbox will understand a user's email patterns, language, and context to separate important and non-essential emails. After reading each email, it will identify the task at hand such as replying to someone, following up, or remembering a deadline. The AI will then automatically create a to-do list and, if necessary, create a draft reply. This will significantly reduce the need for users to read each email in detail.
"I'm getting out..." This short phone call proved to be a turning point in the Kapsad murder case. As soon as the main accused, Paras Som, made this call to a friend, the police surveillance team became alert.
Paras's mobile phone was already under surveillance. Immediately after the call was intercepted, the Meerut police contacted the Haridwar police and formulated a strategy to surround the area in Roorkee.
