FIR filed against actor Sahil Khan and his female friend for abusing, assaulting and allegedly threatening to kill a woman

Bollywood actor Sahil Khan who is popular for his fitness and luxurious lifestyle has been making news for all the wrong reasons lately. The actor is involved in yet another legal situation following accusations of harassing a model which caused the latter to attempt suicide.

According to reports, an FIR has been filed by the wife of a businessman against the actor and his female friend at the Oshiwara police station in Mumbai for making death threats against a woman and posting disparaging posts about her online.

She has claimed that she has received death threats and had offensive social media posts made about her. She disclosed that she was involved in a monetary dispute that broke out in a gym, in February of this year after which she was threatened.

The 43-year-old charged that both the accused assaulted her verbally as well as physically. The police informed that the complainant and her family have been the target of offensive social media messages from Sahil Khan and his friend. It has been discovered that the victim’s husband and the accused woman were having an affair and she also reportedly filed a lawsuit.

Following the FIR, the model-turned-actor and his friend have been booked under sections 500, 501, 509, 504, 506 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Moreover, the actor has been accused of extortion.

A police investigation is underway. No one has been arrested as of yet. The actor and his buddy have reportedly flown to Dubai. Efforts are being made to contact them.

In 2021, Sahil Khan was charged with harassing Manoj Patil a former candidate for Mr India and a personal trainer. He was accused of inciting the latter and mentally harassing him, which culminated in a suicide attempt. He was however taken to the hospital immediately and is currently safe.

A Hindu organisation Jai Shri Ram Sena denounced a video uploaded by Sahil Khan to YouTube in October of last year. In the clip, a bar dancer was seen performing on a Shiv Bhajan which was also uploaded to the celebrity’s live story on Instagram. He was served with a legal summon from the Hindu outfit demanding an apology from him for the defamatory video and disrespecting Hindus.

He gained popularity with the 2001 movie Style, in which Sharman Joshi, another Bollywood actor, also starred. He additionally made appearances in the films Xcuse Me, Yehi Hai Zindagi, and Double Cross-Ek Dhoka. He no longer appears in films and is now a businessman and a social media influencer.

Karnataka High Court dismisses Congress leader DK Shivakumar’s plea in disproportionate assets case

The Karnataka High Court on Thursday dismissed Congress leader DK Shivakumar plea challenging the Bharatiya Janata Party-led state government’s decision seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the disproportionate assets case against him.

Karnataka Congress chief Shivakumar, who had questioned the State government’s move, had filed an application saying that the Karnataka government’s order for the CBI probe was wrong. Hearing the arguments of both sides, the single-judge bench led by Justice Natarajan dismissed the petition.

In 2019, the BS Yeddyurappa government sanctioned an investigation against DK Shivakumar. At that time, the CBI registered an FIR with the permission of the state government. Based on this case, the bench headed by Natarajan dismissed the petition filed by DK Shivakumar.

Earlier, the CBI had assessed the property after the Karnataka Congress chief had made a statement that he is a farmer and getting income from agriculture.

Days before the state assembly elections, the Karnataka High Court order can be seen as a setback for Shivakumar, who is busy campaigning.

Notably, the affidavit filed by Shivakumar while submitting his nomination papers for the May 10 Assembly polls has revealed that the wealth of Congress’s Karnataka chief has increased by 68 per cent as compared to 2018.

In the affidavit submitted by Shivakumar entering the fray for the Assembly polls, Shivakumar pegged his total assets and those of his family members at a combined value of Rs 1414 crores.

In his affidavit for the 2013 Assembly polls, the assets held by the Congress leader’s family were valued at Rs 251 crores while, in the 2018 affidavit, the combined value of the property held by his kin was pegged at Rs 840 crores.

According to the affidavit, Shivakumar holds 12 bank accounts, some of which are jointly managed by his brother DK Suresh. The total value of assets held by DK Shivakumar is Rs 1414 crores. He also has a loan amounting to Rs 225 crores, his affidavit states further.

Shivakumar has only one car in his name, a Toyota priced at Rs 8,30,000.

The immovable properties in the name of the Congress leader are Rs 970 crore, whereas those in the name of his wife Usha are worth Rs 113.38 crore.

Immovable properties in the name of his son Akash is worth Rs 54.33 crore. The total assets in Shivakumar’s name is valued at Rs 1,214.93 crore and those in the name of his wife and son are worth Rs 133 crore and Rs 66 crore respectively.

Shivakumar declared his annual income at Rs 14.24 crores whereas his wife’s annual income is Rs 1.9 crores.

Before filing his nomination, the Congress state president held a roadshow in his constituency from he has been elected seven times. Shivakumar exuded confidence of the Congress forming the government in the state with a comfortable majority.

The Karnataka assembly elections will be held in a single phase on May 10, with the counting of votes is scheduled on May 13.

On Tuesday, April 18, Jitendra Singh Visen, the chief of the Vishwa Vedic Sanatan Sangh, who is the counsel for plaintiff Rakhi Singh in the Gyanvapi-Mata Shringar Gauri case, was attacked in Delhi. Two people stabbed his left shoulder with a needle in Delhi before running away. Since then Visen has said that he has been experiencing vibrations in his body.

After that, he was taken to Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital by his family and neighbours. He was relieved following an overnight hospital stay for treatment. He is discharged from the hospital, but the trembling and anxiety persist.

Meanwhile, the cops at Patel Nagar police station in Delhi launched an investigation into the matter after receiving the complaint.

It is notable that Jitendra Singh has already voiced his concern over a potential attack. He had claimed that he had received numerous threats to withdraw from the case. He claimed that despite repeated threats, he has not been given security. The Home Ministry is not clearing the file of his security.

Jitendra Singh Visen is the counsel for Rakhi Singh, the petitioner in the Gyanvapi Masjid case in Varanasi. In the transfer application case, his wife Kiran Singh is a respondent.

Maharashtra: 15-year-old Ghulam Mohammed found hanging in Beed, police dismiss communal angle as alleged by Islamists online

A 15-year-old student of 9th standard, Ghulam Mohammed, was found hanging in a village in the Majalgaon taluka of the Beed district on Tuesday, April 18, 2023. As soon as the news spread, Islamists on social media held Hindu outfits responsible for his death, as it was revealed that he earlier had a scuffle with three Hindus over trespassing and picking up firewood from their farm. However, the Beed police have confirmed that there is no communal angle involved in this incident.

Once the news broke out, Islamists online alleged that this was a communal incident and started blaming Hindu groups for it.

Ahmed Khabeer of Jamia Times tweeted, “15-year-old boy “Hafiz Murtaza Shaikh” had gone with his sister to fetch fuel wood when a Hindutva group surrounded them & started thrashing them. The sister ran towards home for help, and when she returned, she found the brother’s body hanging on a tree.”

Other Twitter users, like the propagandist Ashok Swain also joined in to blame “Hindu supremacists” for the death.

However, police have dismissed all such reports of a communal angle to the unfortunate death.

According to reports, the deceased boy Gulam Mohammed Hafiz Murtaza Shaikh had gone to pick firewood. He was accompanied by his sister. As he was trespassing on the farm of Kailash Dake, he was allegedly caught by Kailash Dake and Mahadev Dake. The father of the deceased has said in his complaint that these two youths were also accompanied by one Hanumant Wankhede.

As the three started beating the deceased for trespassing, Ghulam Mohammed asked his sister to run away. She then called her father only to find the dead body of the deceased hanging from the neem tree on the spot. However, Murtaza Sheikh said in his complaint that he saw the accused trio hanging his son to the tree.

The police have arrested the three accused in this case. It was also revealed that six months ago, Kailash Dake had a scuffle with Ghulam Mohammed who would frequently attempt to trespass on Dake’s farm. The father of the deceased has also alleged that Kailash Dake had threatened the deceased boy at that time by saying that he will be killed if he is seen around again.

The complaint was filed at the Majalgaon rural police station. According to a report by Mid Day, the incident prima facie appears to be of suicide because there are no other injury marks on the dead body to show that he had a scuffle with the three arrested accused before getting estranged.

Assistant Police Inspector Annarao Khodewad said, “We have arrested the three accused on the charges of murder. After being produced before the court, they have been remanded in two days of police custody.” Giving details of the primary investigations, he added, “A few days ago, the victim and accused had a scuffle, after the victim’s cow strayed into the latter’s farm and ate some crop. Learning about this, elders from both families and some villagers intervened, and no complaint was lodged with the police.”

B Dheeraj Kumar is the assistant SP of the Majalgaon division in the Beed district. He said, “The provisional autopsy report concluded that the boy died of hanging and a final opinion is reserved. This case is limited to friction between the two youths or their families.”

Nand Kumar Thakur is the SP of the Beed district. He said, “The police will initiate action against anyone spreading rumours about the incident and giving it a communal colour.”

Vivek Agnihotri says his book-signing event in West Bengal shifted, ‘unsafe Muslim area’ cited as reason: Details

On 20th April 2023, film director Vivek Agnihotri tweeted that his book signing event in West Bengal has been shifted to some other venue. He was reportedly informed that since the original venue was in a ‘Muslim area’ it has to be shifted.

The book signing event was scheduled to take place at the Quest Mall in Kolkata on 20th April 2023, at 5 pm. The venue is now shifted to Starmark Book Shop, South City Mall.

Vivek Agnihotri tweeted, “Kolkata: Attention. This is to inform you that due to security reasons, the venue of the book signing of Urban Naxals has been shifted from Quest Mall to Starmark Book Shop, South City Mall. I’m informed that since Quest Mall is a Muslim Area it’s not safe. The tragedy of modern Bengal.” Vivek Agnihotri has also shared a poster of the event with updated information about the venue.

It is notable that Vivek Agnihotri – author of the book ‘Urban Naxals’ – is known for his film ‘The Kashmir Files’ which depicted the reality of Islamic Jihad in Kashmir causing an exodus of Kashmiri Hindus in 1990. He has been the target of Islamists since the release of this film in 2022.

This shift in the venue of the book-signing event of the director has come after the Quest Mall made it to the news on social media. Some posts claimed that local Muslims had barged into the mall demanding free food and gifts. This incident took place on Sunday, 16th April 2023. On Wednesday, 19th April 2023, a video of the incident also went viral on social media in which many youths were seen sitting on the floors of the mall.

A Twitter user @Singh777 wrote, “WestBengal Caliphate. In Quest Mall at 10:30 am, abt 250 local slum dwellers from a particular religion barged into the mall demanding that they sud be given permission to stay as the city of Kolkata is reeling at 43°C.”

Abhijit Majumdar wrote, “Quest Mall, Kolkata. Built by Sanjiv Goenka’s RPSG group. Home to some of the top luxury brands. Taken over by the ‘faithful’.”

Mall denies claims, says locals had came to mall due to powercut

However, the mall management filed a complaint on Wednesday in the Kolkata police cybercrime cell against the so-called deliberate misrepresentation of this event. Sanjeev Mehra – the vice president of the mall said that power cuts in the surrounding areas caused the local youths to come to the mall on Sunday night. He specified the time of this incident to be around 11:30 pm when the entry for the visitors is closed. Only the customers in the multiplex and restaurant were present inside the mall at that time, he said. He told that the youths wanted to hang out in the air-conditioned mall as there were power cuts in their households.

After one and a half hours, the last show of the film in the multiplex was over and the local youths were escorted out by the security persons of the mall. Mehra also specified that their entry was undesirable but they were entertained on humanitarian grounds.

Sanjeev Mehra said, “The leaders agreed and said it would not be repeated and that was that till a video of that night was circulated on Wednesday with a blatantly false and malicious claim that amounts to scaremongering.”

The terminology ‘Muslim Area’ was recently mainstreamed by none other than West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee who told Hindus not to take the Ram Navami processions through what she called the ‘Muslim areas’. She said, “I want to request those who are taking out the Ram Navami procession, please do but do it peacefully. Kindly avoid Muslim areas as Ramzan is going on. Celebrate peacefully but don’t try to create violence. Don’t get provoked.”

CM Banerjee further stated that the state of West Bengal would take action against Hindus if they are found creating violence. “Some goon has said that on the day of Ram Navami, we will come out with weapons and do a procession.” I will not stop the procession of Ram Navami, but if weapons come out then action will be taken by the government. The month of Ramzan is also going on and during this time if anyone tries to do any wrong thing, he will not be spared. No one has the right to practice riot,” she noted.

There was widespread violence against the Ram Navami processions in West Bengal this year. Especially Howrah in West Bengal witnessed violent riots including stone-pelting and arson.

#AbolishTheMonarchy trends on Twitter as Billionaire King Charles’ coronation expected to cost taxpayers over 100 million pounds

#AbolishTheMonarchy trends on Twitter as Billionaire King Charles’ coronation expected to cost taxpayers over 100 million pounds

The coronation ceremony of King Charles is set to take place at Westminster Abbey, where Charles III and his wife Camilla will be crowned as king and queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth states on May 6, 2023. King Charles acceded to the throne on 8 September 2022, upon the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

The coronation is anticipated to cost several million pounds, but no formal budget has been announced and the government has not commented on the expected total cost, therefore, the amount of public money spent is unclear. Some estimates say that the cost of Operation Golden Orb, the Coronation’s code name, could range from £50 million to £100 million.

British netizens are posting against the public funding of the ceremony and making their displeasure known on social media by trending #AbolishTheMonarchy. They are highlighting the dire economic circumstances in the country and how people are struggling to make ends meet while the already wealthy and privileged elite is supported at the expense of the exchequer.

A netizen mentioned the amount of wealth accumulated by the King and called it ‘an obscene waste of public funds, especially during a cost of living crisis.’

Another one pointed out the severe economic conditions faced by the people in the country and called the coronation a ‘deranged spectacle.’

Another user suggested putting the ‘obscene pantomime to something more worthwhile.’

Some labeled the ceremony as ‘narcissistic’ because the nurses, paramedics, and teachers are using food banks, whereas, so much money is being spent on the coronation.

Ojay posted a picture of a homeless man begging and accused that ‘the coronation of an unelected billionaire (King Charles) from England who has the hereditary privilege and obscene wealth is forced down our throats.’

A protest rally has also been organised on the day of the coronation and citizens are urged to participate with placards and leaflets.

Notably, King Charles’ total personal wealth is estimated to be £1.815 billion. Much of his private wealth is generated from his and his family’s public duties as working royals, from large hereditary estates that pay out tens of millions of dollars each year to official state presents that have been incorporated into private property.

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as the cost of living continues to affect households, the UK economy will contract and perform worse than other major economies. It would shrink by 0.6% in 2023, and not grow as originally expected, according to the organization.

YouGov Poll

Over half of the people in Britain are of the opinion that the Coronation of King Charles should not be paid for by taxpayers, according to the YouGov poll.

YouGov carried out the survey with 51% of the respondents surveyed answering that they didn’t think the government should pay for the ceremony. Nearly a third, 32%, agreed it should, and about 18% were unsure. 

The prospect of the ceremony being sponsored by the taxpayers was especially unpopular with the younger generation. Of the 4,246 persons polled, 62% of those aged 18 to 24 opposed government funding of the coronation, while 15% supported it.

The results were more evenly split among those 65 and older, with 44% asserting that it shouldn’t be government-funded, while 43% were in agreement. 25 percent of people aged between the ages of 25 and 49 expressed that the coronation should be remitted by the government, while 55 percent did not, and 46 percent of people aged between 50 to 64 believed that it ought to.

The coronation was described as an ‘expensive pantomime’ and a ‘slap in the face for millions of people struggling with the cost of living crisis’ by Graham Smith, chief executive of the anti-monarchy organisation Republic.

Oliver Dowden, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, has previously stated that there will be no ‘lavishness or excess’ and that the King and the government are ‘mindful of ensuring that there is value for the taxpayer.’

However, he added, “It is a marvelous moment in our history and people would not want a dour scrimping and scraping,” to the Commons Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee at the beginning of the year.

The late Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation cost £912,000 in 1953, which is equivalent to £20.5 million in today’s times, whereas the late King George VI’s coronation cost £454,000, which is equivalent to $24.8 million in 2023, and was the most expensive in the last 300 years.

Bahraini MPs discuss the death of dreaded gangster Atiq Ahmed in parliament, use his murder to say Muslims are being targeted in India

Gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf Ahmed were shot dead in front of a hospital in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh on 15 April. Now, politicians in Bahrain have started targeting the Indian government over the murder by three assailants in police custody. Bahraini members of parliament raised their voices in support of the deceased mafia in the country’s parliament, alleging that the lives of Muslims are in danger in India.

During a discussion on Atiq Ahmed’s murder in Parliament, the Bahraini politicians called it an act of ‘Hindu extremism’, and asked for diplomatic action against India. Videos of the comments made by Bahraini politicians have appeared on social media.

“Former legislator Atiq Ahmed, one month earlier complained that his life was in danger from the police and we saw the assassination that happened in police presence. We have seen these scenarios repeat themselves when it comes to Muslims,” Bahrain MP Jameel Mulla said. However, he didn’t provide any evidence for his allegations or made any mention of Atiq Ahmed’s life as a dreaded underworld figure.

“Many videos show brutal killings of Muslims,” the lawmaker continued, “with police being present defending these barbaric criminals that attack the weak people and demolish mosques.” He again didn’t present any proof or data to back his arbitrary claims.

“My speaker, I would like to go a step further and request all Arab parliaments to condemn what is happening. I also request to summon the ambassador and hand him the condemnation letter, demanding the protection of Muslims in India,” he urged and conveniently ignored the fact that most of Atiq’s victims were Muslims.

He wasn’t the only Bahraini MP to complain about the murder of Atiq Ahmed. Ahmed Qarata, another MP, also raised concerns about the murder of the dreaded gangster Atiq Ahmed. He said that the Indian government must be stopped by Bahrain. “Ateeq Ahmed and his brother were in police custody. They were killed by Hindu extremists in the presence of the police. This is very sad,” he said.

Alleging repeated attacks on Muslims in India, Ahmed Qarata added that Indians in Bahrain and in the Gulf region are being treated respectfully, but Muslims in India are being persecuted. “Please summon the Indian Ambassador to Bahrain and take action immediately to stop the ongoing atrocities and persecution of Indian Muslims by Modi’s Government and Hindutva Terrorists of RSS terror group,” he urged the foreign minister.

Notably, this is not the first time someone has attempted to whitewash Atiq Ahmed’s criminal history. The feared gangster was solely referred to as a politician or MLA by many leftists and Muslim journalists from India and global media outlets like the BBC and Reuters while glossing over the more than 100 FIRs lodged against him for serious crimes like extortion, murder, and looting.

Atiq Ahmed murder investigation: SIT recreates the crime scene at the same place in Prayagraj, watch

On Thursday, April 20, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed to probe the murder of Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf recreated the crime scene as part of its ongoing investigation. Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf Ahmed were shot dead while being taken for a medical checkup on 15th April 2023 at around 10:40 pm.

In the video shared by news agency ANI, the police can be seen escorting two men dressed like the deceased mafia don Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf Ahmed. They are surrounded by media persons and several police officials. Suddenly the two posing media persons approach the gangster brothers and shoot at them. The duo immediately falls to the ground.

Atiq and his brother Ashraf were interacting with media persons when 3 miscreants, who posed as media persons, opened fire at Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf Ahmed on April 15.

The police had arrested the three from the spot at the time of the incident. Many cases were already registered against the trio. The court sent the three killers of Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf Ahmed to judicial custody for 14 days. 

On Saturday, the Uttar Pradesh government suspended five police personnel for dereliction of duty after the death of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed.

The Shahganj Police Station’s Station House Officer (SHO), Ashwani Kumar Singh, was suspended, along with two sub-inspectors and two constables. Earlier, Prayagraj Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Narsingh Narayan Singh, who was present during the incident, was transferred.

Meanwhile, according to India Today, the UP Police have also prepared a list of Atiq Ahmed’s properties in Haryana, which the deceased criminal purchased to launder his illicit income. The police are preparing to seize Atiq Ahmed’s properties as the hunt for his wife, Shaista Parveen, in on.

UP Police arrest Rohingya woman and her three daughters for illegally residing in India for 17 years

On Monday, April 17, a Rohingya woman and her three daughters, who came from Bangladesh to India around seventeen years ago, were arrested by Uttar Pradesh police. The Rohingya woman had obtained a fake Aadhaar card, voter card, and other Indian documents. The woman has been identified as Fatima, who is also known as Amina alias Moti, and is recognized by the locals as the wife of one Nisar Ali from Muradabad. 

The police arrested Fatima and her three daughters Rihana, Gulshan, and Arshi after receiving a tip from an informer. Moreover, Fatima’s husband Nisar has also been arrested. During police interrogation, Nisar admitted that he knew about Fatima’s illegal entry into India before their marriage. 

For the past 6-7 months, all of these people have been residing in a rented house on street number 8 in Moradabad’s Katghar area. Fatima admitted upon questioning that she came from Bangladesh to India 17 years ago illegally. She then began working in a meat factory in Meerut adding that she first met Nisar at this factory.

In order to get Indian citizenship, she claimed to have married a much younger Nisar several years ago. After that, Nisar obtained everyone’s Aadhaar, PAN, and voter identification cards, and opened their bank accounts. Nisar, in all the ways possible, assisted them in becoming citizens. Fatima’s first husband passed away, and then she got married to Nisar. Her first spouse left her with three daughters, all of whom have also been arrested. 

Additionally, 10 counterfeit PAN cards, e-labor cards, Aadhaar cards, and other cards have been found on them. A complaint has been filed against the accused under sections 419, 420, 467, and 471 of the IPC and section 14C of the Foreigners Act of 1946, according to Rajesh Kumar Solanki, the in-charge of the Katghar police station. Following the arrest, the police brought all four before the court and then lodged them all in jail.
