After the team led by the nayab tehsildar found
1, 2, and 5-rupee coins stored at the accused’s

volume.
After the team led by the nayab tehsildar found 1, 2, and 5-rupee coins stored at the accused’s house, they
weighed them on a balance since counting them was not possible due to their sheer volume.
A case was registered under the Coinage Act 2011 against a trader, Naveen
Samadia, at the Hathras kotwali police station on Monday, two days after the
administration recovered 5663.3 kilograms of 1, 2, and 5 rupee coins stored in
106 plastic bags from his stationery shop and residence following a raid on
August 1, officials said.

The case was registered under Section 12 (prohibition of making or melting or
destruction of coins) and 13 of The Coinage Act 2011, which provides seven
years’ imprisonment or a fine for violating Section 12 of the Act.
Feedback
Satyendra Singh Raghav, the officer in charge of Hathras Kotwali police station,
stated that it is probably the first case of its kind. The delay in registering the case
was because no data on the Coinage Act was available on police station
computers, he added.
“We contacted state authorities and finally sought assistance from the CCTNS
(Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems)
Continue reading to register the case,” he said.

Haldiram's First UK Outlet: Viral Crowds, Pani Puri And Chole Bhature Fever, Then An Abrupt Closure; Know
Why
Haldiram, an Indian multinational fast-food restaurant chain, had a blockbuster
opening where Indians queued in long lines to taste Indian cuisines like Pani Puri,
Chole Bhature and Raj Kachori. Just a few weeks after its popular opening in
London, Haldiram’s UK restaurant has shut its doors.
The restaurant, located in Leicester Square, closed on 21 July 2026. However, the
restaurant chain has issued a clarification, asserting that it is not a permanent
closure and that it will resume services, although it has not committed to any
specific reopening date.

Massive opening before temporary closure
Haldiram's opened its first UK restaurant in June this year at 19-20 Irving Street,
Leicester Square. The place is about 3,000 square feet and can seat 120 people
inside, plus 20 seats outside. It offers a more premium dining experience with
dishes like chole bhature, pav bhaji, raj kachori, many types of chaat, and special
desserts. It also has a shop section selling Haldiram’s packaged sweets and
snacks.
When it first opened, long queues of people, especially from the Indian
communit, formed outside. Videos of the crowds went viral online.
Why did Haldiram close its UK store?
According to the official Instagram page (@[Link]), it is closed
because of planned electrical works by UK Power Networks (UKPN). The page
message reads: “We’ll be back soon. Stay tuned!”
A post shared by Haldiram’s UK Restaurants (@[Link])
notice on the door explains, “We are temporarily closed due to scheduled UKPN
electrical and gas upgrade works. We will announce our reopening date as soon
as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your
patience.”
UKPN looks after electricity supply in London and nearby areas. This is planned
maintenance work, not a problem with the restaurant itself.
At the moment, no reopening date has been shared.
