Arrest of illegal Bangladeshis, Rohingyas at Agartala becoming a common affair, hundreds arrested this year, all you need to know

11 Bangladeshi infiltrators were recently arrested at Agartala Railway Station in Tripura. They intended to take trains from Agartala and travel to different parts the country before the GRP and RPF nabbed them all. Illegal Bangladeshis and Rohingyas use Agartala Railway Station to get into trains headed to other parts of India. Over the previous year and a half, security personnel have apprehended thousands of illegal Bangladeshis and Rohingyas who have infiltrated Tripura.

On June 30, 2024, GRP and RPF posted at Agartala Railway Station detained 11 illegal Bangladeshis from the station itself. Of these, six are men and five are women. They were all intending to travel from Agartala to various destinations such as Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Chennai. None of them are believed to have the necessary documents to enter India. Agartala GRP has filed a case in this regard, and further action will be taken against them. The authorities are also looking into this case from the viewpoint of human trafficking.

Infiltrators are being caught continuously

The number of infiltrators reaching different places in India via Agartala Railway Station is steadily increasing. Earlier, on June 29, 2024, 11 illegal infiltrators were apprehended. Further, on June 27, 2024, two Bangladeshi infiltrators, Akhtar and Firoza, were detained at Agartala Railway Station. Both of them were attempting to board the train to Karnataka.

A day earlier, on June 26, 2024, Rubia Sultana, Ritu Begum, Jyoti Khatun, and Meem Sultana were apprehended. These individuals were about to take a train to Pune and Ahmedabad. In the month of June, 39 infiltrators in total were caught at Agartala station.

Earlier in May, 28 infiltrators were caught from various locations. Four Bangladeshi infiltrators were arrested on May 23, and two on May 21. On May 17, 2024, four Bangladeshi infiltrators were arrested as they were about to board the Agartala Secunderabad Express. Earlier, on May 11, eight Bangladeshi infiltrators were detained as they attempted to travel to Maharashtra. Many infiltrators have been arrested outside the station after evading security patrols. Many times, their Indian supporters have also been arrested along with them.

130 arrested in 2024 itself, including Rohingyas

OpIndia spoke with security personnel regarding the regular arrests of intruders at the Agartala Railway Station. Tapas Das, a GRP officer stationed at Agartala railway station, told OpIndia that 130 Bangladeshi infiltrators were arrested in 2024 alone. There are four Rohingya infiltrators among them. He explained that they take trains from Agartala to other places in India. These illegal infiltrators visit and later settle in major cities in India, including Chennai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, and Delhi.

He told OpIndia that the number of infiltrators caught at Agartala Railway Station is steadily growing. To escape detection on the trains, these infiltrators typically travel in general coaches. They do not need to show their identity card to receive their ticket. He further stated that infiltrators who have already settled in several Indian cities get their tickets booked online. Many such gangs are also active in Tripura, working to transport them to other parts of the country.

While speaking with OpIndia, he stated that the number of these infiltrators is increasing. Previously, just 2-4 illegal Bangladeshis were apprehended here each month, but now the number has risen to 30-40. This is also corroborated by the information posted on GRP Tripura’s X (Twitter) account. GRP continually provides information concerning the arrest of these infiltrators. According to this report, 118 illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators were apprehended between January 2024 and June 30, 2024.

Every day, stories emerge of Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators being captured in Tripura. According to a report, the BSF apprehended 1018 infiltrators in Tripura alone between January 2023 and April 15, 2024. Of these, 498 are Bangladeshi. There are several women and children among the captured Bangladeshis.

According to the BSF, it caught 744 infiltrators in 2023. Of these, 112 were Rohingya, and 337 were Bangladeshis. The number of infiltrators apprehended is increasing year after year. In 2022, BSF apprehended 369 infiltrators. Of these, 150 were Bangladeshis and 57 were Rohingya. Similarly, in 2021, 208 infiltrators were apprehended, including 93 Bangladeshis.

Hindi-Assamese training to Rohingya, infiltration package for ₹10-20 lakh

There is a conspiracy working to relocate illegal Rohingyas from Myanmar to India. The NIA squad just apprehended its mastermind, Jalil Miyan. Fake documents are being used to settle Rohingya Muslims in India, under packages ranging from Rs 10-20 lakh (14-28 lakh Bangladeshi Takas). Rohingya infiltrators are trained in languages such as Hindi and Assamese to settle in India.

This is done to avoid being detected due to their accent. This gang used to smuggle 5-10 Rohingya Muslims into India each day. Even the appearance of the intruders is altered to conceal their identity. There are numerous such camps in Delhi, where Rohingyas live. The Rohingya Muslim population in India has doubled in only two years.

The central government has stated that there are no camps for Rohingya refugees in the country. Their population in Muslim-majority Jammu and Kashmir is estimated to be 10,000. These Rohingyas have also been involved in numerous crimes. They had engaged in great numbers in the anti-CAA protests in Shaheen Bagh and Zafarabad. The central government has declared them illegal immigrants and a threat to national security.

Uttar Pradesh: At least 27, mostly women, killed in a stampede in Hathras

In a tragic event in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras, at least 27 people, including 25 women were killed during a stampede at a religion event. The number of fatalities is expected to rise with several more people rushed to the hospital. The stampede took place during a Satsang for Sant Bhole Baba.

As per reports, a religious congregation was organised at Phulrai village in the district in which a large number of devotees were present. There was a stampede at the end of the congregation when hundreds of devotees tried to leave the venue together leading to a stampede.

“We have received 27 bodies, of which 25 are female and two are male. Some injured have also been taken to hospitals. We have heard that there was a stampede during a ‘satsang’ but don’t have too many more details,” said Chief Medical Officer, Etah, Dr Umesh Kumar Tripathi while speaking to the media.

Three children are also said to be killed in the stampede, the heartrending visuals of which went viral on Social media.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has taken note of the tragedy and has set up a committee to investigate the incident. The panel has been formed which will be headed by Additional Director General of Police (Agra) and the Aligarh Commissioner.

FIR against UK-based Indian-origin professor Uday Reddy for promoting enmity between communities in Manipur: Handle accused of spreading anti-Meitei hatred

An FIR has been registered against an Indian-origin man who works as a professor at a University in the United Kingdom by the Manipur police in the state capital Imphal, as per reports. The man identified as Uday Reddy, who goes by the social media handle Kautilya3 on X, has been accused of inflammatory posts and statements on social media platforms.

Reddy’s X handle Kautilya3 is withheld in India. In the complaint against Reddy, it was stated that he may have links with Khalistani elements in Canada. He has been accused of editing Wikipedia articles with misleading information.

The complaint against Reddy was filed by a resident of Manipur based on which the FIR was registered. Reddy teaches Computer Science at the University of Birmingham. It has been alleged that Reddy has been working online to create tensions between Meitei and Kuki communities on religious grounds in Manipur. The FIR has been registered with a police station in Imphal East district under Sections 117 (abetment), 295-A (insulting religious sentiments), 153-A (promoting enmity between communities) and other relevant provisions of law.

The complaint read, “The accused person deliberately with malicious intention insulted the Meitei’s religious beliefs and promoted enmity between the Meiteis and other communities on religious grounds.” Though Reddy has not officially given any statement on social media, he has thanked others for expressing solidarity with him.

The police said in a statement that Reddy often hosts spaces on social media platforms and allegedly directs people in Manipur on how to create unrest and trouble against law enforcement personnel. The complaint read, “The unlawful activities of the accused person and his associates amount to anti-national activities that challenge the integrity and sovereignty of India, and are fit to be dealt with under the relevant provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.”

It further read, “As there is a high possibility of the accused being linked with Khalistanis in Canada… and with narco-terrorist groups… the call records of the accused, financial activities… may kindly be investigated.” The complainant also requested the Indian authorities to contact the employers of Reddy and inform them about the “criminal acts committed by him against India”. He also requested to issue a lookout circular (LOC) to monitor entry and exit points in India.

Kuki student organisation comes in support of Reddy, demands withdrawal of FIR

On 1st July, the Kuki Students’ Organisation-Delhi & NCR condemned the FIR registered against Reddy and called it a “frivolous complaint”. Defending Reddy, they stated that his social media account posts offer unbiased perspectives and the authentic history of both the Kuki and Meitei communities in Manipur.

The statement read, “It is clear that Professor Reddy, an India-loving person of Indian origin with deep connections to India and its people, is being targeted for his commitment to truth and justice. The professor’s activism on social media has never been about vilifying the Meitei community. Rather, it has been about shedding light on the complex truths surrounding the Manipur violence.”

The organisation demanded immediate withdrawal of the complaint against Reddy.

Uday Reddy has been called out multiple times for his lack of understanding about Manipur and for spreading propaganda about Meitei community. For instance, in one of the discussions he was called out for his failure to accurately address Manipur’s history, specifically the Anglo-Kuki war. (OpIndia could not verify the authenticity of the audio)

He was also seen mocking Meitei victims on several instances.

He also showed his anti-Hindu bias multiple times. In April 2022, he accused Hindus of “weaponising” Ram Navami against Muslims. In a post on X, he wrote, “Hindutva nationalist organisations, spearheaded by RSS and BJP, have weaponised the festival to create Hindu–Muslim frictions, causing riots and deaths, in which the Muslims have been the major sufferers.”

In reality, it was Muslims who mercilessly attacked Hindus across India on Hindu festivals like Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti. OpIndia has extensively covered such attacks that can be checked here and here.

Nudity and perversity litter streets of San Francisco and Toronto during LGBTQ Pride Parade: Onslaught of the degenerates and how it affects children

Nudity and perversity litter streets of San Francisco and Toronto during LGBTQ Pride Parade: Onslaught of the degenerates and how it affects children

Beginning from June 1st, this year, the “Pride Month” also called “Gay Pride”, saw numerous pride marches and events in various countries with members of the LGBTQ+ community coming together to celebrate their ‘identity’ and the 1969 “Stonewall Uprising” in Manhattan.

While Pride marches are supposed to be the celebrations of diversity, equality, and the LGBTQ+ community’s fight for rights, recent incidents of nudity and explicit behaviour during these events, particularly at the 2024 Pride marches in Toronto and San Francisco have raised eyebrows.

During the Toronto Pride Parade in Canada, multiple instances of public nudity and sexually explicit performances were reported. Some participants were seen wearing little to no clothing and engaging in provocative dances and perverse acts. This gross absurdity in the name of ‘pride’ was reportedly visible to all, including families and children present around.

These LGBTQ+ persons were seen doing obscene acts, going full to semi-naked, the organisers of such events had called it a “Family Pride” event. “Family Pride is a fun-filled experience on the grounds of Church Street School. Here families can indulge in face painting, a magic show, storytelling, and so much more,” organisers for a Family Pride event at the Church Street School in Toronto said.

Open display of vulgarity raises questions

While “Pride Month” is expected to be a celebration of the identity and rights of the LGBTQ+ community, the display of vulgarity at most of such events makes one wonder if degeneracy is the new “pride” or the perverts are hijacking the LGBTQ+ cause to legitimise and mainstream their perversion.

In the United States, the San Francisco Pride Festival drew sharp criticism as people were seen doing the most disgusting acts. In a video going viral on social media, a woman urinated on a man. A man was seen doing oral sex with another man while people watched and passed by. There was literally a “fetish zone” created during the pride parade last week. Moreover, there was a “spank booth” wherein participants were getting spanked, whipped and imitating sex acts on each other publicly.

A video from the San Francisco pride event showed an old man standing naked holding a rainbow flag and waving at the children. This was all happening in the presence of the police. The San Francisco Police allowed people to roam around naked in public, especially in the presence of children. Even the California Penal Code 314 defines the sex crime of “indecent exposure” and prohibits willfully exposing one’s private parts in a public place in the presence of another person.

The open degeneracy in the San Francisco Pride Festival sparked much-deserved outrage on social media. Taking to X Journalist Savannah Hernandez said, “San Francisco pride was the most shocking and disturbing event that I’ve ever witnessed. Shame on every parent who brought their child to this event and shame on the city for allowing what could only be described as a giant public orgy.”

It is beyond the comprehension levels of any sane person as to how exactly urinating on each other, and indulging in sexually explicit behaviour is a celebration of one’s supposed gender identity. Does one need to walk naked or swim in a pool of urine to feel prideful about their supposed “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer” identity?

Notably, during a drag march in New York City last year, its participants were heard saying, “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children.”

At the pride parade in Washington Square Park, people were also seen clashing and throwing things at each other. Moreover, some women were seen twerking on a white car.

Such sexually explicit behaviour during pride events has accrued over the last few years. Back in 2022, OpIndia reported about a similar event in Washington DC wherein a transsexual woman was seen twerking in front of children.

Ironically, while LGBTQ community members are often seen partaking in the pro-Palestine protests and yelling “Free Palestine” etc, even though the Hamas terrorists and Islam has zero regard for transgenders and the extended LGBTQ+ community, several anti-Israel protestors blocked their pride march in New York.

Notably, countries like Canada and the United States have actively encouraged families to attend pride events as part of what is often dubbed as broader efforts to promote inclusivity, acceptance, and education about LGBTQ+ issues. However, the presence of nudity and explicit behaviour at some pride events is certainly causing several negative repercussions.

Children may find exposure to nudity and sexually explicit activities in public contexts perplexing and unpleasant. They may lack the maturity to absorb these displays effectively, causing serious psychological distress. Early exposure to such explicit behaviour can influence a child’s understanding of appropriate behaviour and boundaries, potentially normalising public indecency. Several studies suggest that early exposure to explicit information can alter children’s concept of sexuality and personal boundaries in ways that are inappropriate for their age. Children exposed to such explicit behaviour may end up imitating it since they may form a distorted perception that such behaviour is “cool”.

While it is asserted that pride events are meant to foster tolerance and acceptance towards the LGBTQ+ community, sexually explicit acts overshadow the so-called message of equality and expose children to the risk of getting abused by paedophiles. It must be mentioned here that there have been attempts from several quarters, especially in the US, in recent years to “normalise” and “destigmatise” paedophilia by calling them Minor Attracted Persons instead of a paedophile. The self-proclaimed MAPs have been seeking acceptance from the LGBTQs.  

What began as an apparently well-intentioned attempt to educate and sensitise children to LGBTQ people so that they would grow up to accept it as a natural reality has devolved into complete madness. There have been reports about teachers revealing their sexual orientation and identity in the classroom. Incidents of exposing children to sexuality and sexual behaviour are becoming more widespread, which is cause for concern among parents. This grew out of control, with puberty blockers and gender identity becoming popular classroom themes. In an alarming report published by The Telegraph last month, an LGBTQ charity group in the United Kingdom is training teachers to inform children about hormone blockers. Probably, “We’re coming for your children” is not a mere slogan but a warning.

Several LGBTQ community members and their cheerleaders in politics and journalism argue that Pride events should be inclusive of all forms of expression, including kink and nudity, saying that they are integral parts of LGBTQ culture and history. They assert that Pride should be a space where people can express their sexuality freely without judgment and that children can “handle” it. However, Pride should focus on celebrating LGBTQ identity and achievements, rather than on sexual expression in public, in the presence of children. Kids and teenagers (below 10 years) are not supposed to see and handle ‘kink’ and other sexually explicit acts in public. They are supposed to develop their cognitive abilities and do well in academics and sports, develop interest and skills in whatever field that interests them. Let children be children and not be cheerleaders of perversion.  

Blame game starts between Hindenburg and Kotak Bank: After short-seller claims Kotak created and oversaw fund to bet against Adani, Kotak denies claims

Blame game starts between Hindenburg and Kotak Bank: After short-seller claims Kotak created and oversaw fund to bet against Adani, Kotak denies claims

The US-based short-selling firm Hindenburg made headlines last year for a hit piece against the Adani Group. On Monday (1st July 2024), Hindenburg said it used a fund created by Kotak Mahindra Bank to take a short position on Adani stocks. The development comes days after the short-selling firm received a 46-page ‘show cause notice’ from the Indian market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The notice stated that Hindenburg’s January 2023 report on the Adani Group had certain misrepresentations and inaccurate statements that were meant to mislead readers.

While responding to the notice it received on 27th June, Hindenburg said that the notice was an “attempt to silence and intimidate those who expose corruption and fraud perpetrated by the most powerful individuals in India”. It also claimed immunity for its actions, arguing that SEBI doesn’t have jurisdiction over the firm. “Note that we are a US-based research firm with no Indian entities, employees, consultants, or operations, ” the US-based firm said. It then went on to allege that SEBI omitted the name of the private lender that was involved in short-selling Adani group shares. 

Hindenburg said that brokerage firms founded by Uday Kotak created and managed the offshore fund structure that was used by its investor partner to bet against Adani group shares. It added that SEBI only referred to the K-India Opportunities fund and used the acronym ‘KMIL’ to mask the ‘Kotak’ name.

“While SEBI seemingly tied itself in knots to claim jurisdiction over us, its notice conspicuously failed to name the party that has an actual tie to India: Kotak Bank, one of India’s largest banks and brokerage firms founded by Uday Kotak, which created and oversaw the offshore fund structure used by our investor partner to bet against Adani. Instead, it simply named the K-India Opportunities fund and masked the ‘Kotak’ name with the acronym ‘KMIL’,” Hindenburg said.

It then mentioned that KMIL stands for Kotak Mahindra Investment Ltd, an asset management company. 

Hindenburg added that Uday Kotak personally led Sebi’s 2017 committee on corporate governance. It alleged, “We suspect Sebi’s omission of Kotak or any Kotak board member may be to protect yet another powerful Indian businessman from scrutiny, a role Sebi seems to embrace.” 

It further alleged that the SEBI’s notice was intended to suggest that its legal and disclosed investment stance was secretive or dubious, or to present new legal arguments claiming jurisdiction over it. 

Hindenburg stated that the Indian regulator claimed that the disclaimers in its report were misleading because it was indirectly participating in the Indian securities market, and therefore, was short Adani. 

Regarding this, it said, “This was no secret—everyone knew we were short Adani because we disclosed it prominently and repeatedly.” 

In 2023, Hindenburg Research said that it held short positions in Adani Group companies through US-traded bonds and non-Indian-traded derivatives. However, it did not reveal the size of its bets or the specific derivatives and reference securities used.

Hindenburg further stated that it saw gains of only over $4 million in the short-selling episode that triggered a huge market erosion of around $150 billion in the market valuation of Adani Group’s listed companies. It added that it earned a gross revenue of about $4.1 million through gains related to Adani shorts from “one investor relationship”, which it didn’t name, and about “$31,000 through our own short of Adani US bonds,” Hindenburg said in its statement released on 1st July 2024.

Kotak Bank denies claims

Kotak Mahindra International Limited stated on Tuesday that Hindenburg Research, a U.S. short-seller, has never invested in the K-India Opportunities Fund.

Kotak was addressing accusations that Hindenburg collaborated with its client Kingdon Capital Management and utilized an offshore fund from the Kotak group to short Adani group shares last year.

“The Fund was never aware that Hindenburg was a partner of any of its investors,” Kotak said in a media statement.

Other key details in SEBI’s show-cause notice to Hindenburg Research

According to a report in the Hindu Bussiness Line, SEBI on page 10 of the show-cause notice mentioned the investment advisory agreement between Kingdon Capital and KMIL. Notably, Kingdon Capital was a client of Hindenburg Research. The short-selling firm shared its report on Adani with Kingdon Capital before its publication on 24th January 2023. 

In the notice, SEBI described the way how the trading was done and it noted that post-publication of the report in January 2023 the FPI squared off its short position making a significant profit of $22.25 million. 

The Hindu Businessline report added that SEBI’s investigation showed that the short position by KIOF (arm of Kotak Mahindra Bank) in Adani Enterprises futures was taken based on the draft of the Hindenburg report made available to it before it was made public.

The major developments in the Hindenburg Report saga

The Hindenburg Research, a short-selling firm, published a report, on 24th January 2023, accusing the Adani Group of fraud and stock price manipulation. The report came days ahead of the 2023 Budget Session of the Parliament which began on 31st January. 

Following the publication of the report, the Adani Group trashed the Hindenburg Research report as a ‘malicious combination of selective misinformation and stale, baseless and discredited allegations’. However, the Hindenburg report eroded Rs 46,000 crores in Adani group’s market capitalisation. 

Following a row over the Hindenburg report, India’s apex court, the Supreme Court ordered the market regulator, SEBI to probe allegations while setting up an expert panel to look into regulatory lapses. 

However, on 3rd January this year, the Supreme Court refused to order an SIT probe on the allegations made by Hindenburg Research against the Adani group. The Supreme Court in its order noted that third-party reports, without any verification, cannot be relied on as proof. The court observed that such reports can be treated as inputs but not conclusive evidence to doubt Indian authorities, in this case, it was the market regulator SEBI. 

The Supreme Court further added that there is no evidence that SEBI was negligent in taking action and no reason to suggest any conflict of interest on SEBI’s part. “SEBI has concluded investigations in 20 of 22 cases.” It also directed the SEBI to wrap up the investigation into the remaining two cases within three months.

‘TMC people beat me up. I was stripped and thrashed’: Cooch Behar victim says she doesn’t trust Mamata Banerjee and police

A Muslim woman who was mercilessly thrashed in Bengal’s Cooch Behar said she was stripped and beaten up by those belonging to the Trinamool Congress. The woman also said she distrusts Mamata Banerjee and the police.

“TMC people beat me up. I was stripped and thrashed. I don’t trust Mamata Banerjee and the police. I am associated with the BJP,” the assault victim was quoted as saying by ANI.

On Thursday (27th June), the Muslim woman was stripped, dragged for 1 km by her hair and thrashed for over an hour by goons for supporting the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP).

The incident occurred in Ruidanga village in Matha Bhanga-II block in  Coochbehar district of West Bengal. The victim is undergoing treatment at the Maharaja Jitendra Narayan Medical College & Hospital.

As per reports, a group of TMC goons attacked the woman for being a worker of the Opposition BJP in the State. The victim’s father has now filed a complaint with the police.

According to the police complaint, the local TMC cadre has prevented the woman from stepping out of her house since the Lok Sabha elections were announced on 4th June 2024. 

The victim was attacked on Thursday when she was en route home from a nearby park. A group of TMC goons attacked her, stripped her and then dumped her clothes in a river.

They have also threatened to break her house if she dared to step out again. The  Cooch Behar police have so far detained 4 people, including the primary accused Shafiqul, in connection to the case.

Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP government adamant about shutting down Delhi Commission for Women, shut down 181 women helpline: Swati Maliwal

Rajya Sabha MP and former Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) Chief Swati Maliwal on Tuesday alleged that the Delhi government led by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is “adamant” about shutting down the women panel and that it has also shut down the 181 women helpline.

“In 8 years, Delhi Commission for Women listened to 1,70,000 cases. But ever since I resigned from the post of the chairperson, the entire Delhi Government has become adamant about shutting down DCW. Delhi Government has not released even a Rupee as funds for DCW for 6 months. We are also seeing that the Delhi Government has slashed the DCW budget for this year by 30%”, Maliwal said while speaking to ANI.

The Rajya Sabha MP further pointed out that the post of the DCW chief has been lying vacant for the past six months.

“The post of DCW chairperson is still vacant and it has been 6 months now. Two other positions are vacant as well. Delhi Government has shut down the 181 Helpline. It is shameful that the 181 Helpline of the state which is considered the rape capital of the world has been shut down”, she said.

Maliwal further said that she wrote to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal raising her concerns.

“I have written a letter to CM Arvind Kejriwal that how can they do this. How can women of a state whose Women Commission is not capable be protected? I believe that Governments do not want women to be capable. I think the government has an issue with women who raise questions” she said.

Earlier today, Swati Maliwal also posted on ‘X’ saying, “I am writing this letter to bring attention to how the Delhi Government has been systematically dismantling the DCW since my resignation from the position of Chairperson in January 2024. It is deeply regrettable that the systems that I had painstakingly built since 2015, are being destroyed by the Government”.

Uttar Pradesh: Dead body of 9-year-old child missing from madrassa found in a well in Fatehpur, Maulvi detained for interrogation

A heart-wrenching murder case has come to light from Fatehpur district of Uttar Pradesh. The body of a 9-year-old child, who went missing from a nearby Madrassa a few days earlier, was recovered from a well near Singhara cemetery. The dead body was stuffed in a sack. When the yellow sack was opened, the Police found that the child’s hands and legs were tied with a rope and his face was covered with plastic tape.

The Police then sent the body for postmortem and registered a murder case. Based on the complaint of the victim’s family and grounds of suspicion, Police detained two suspects including one Maulvi of the Madrassa where the minor was studying. 

The incident pertains to the Saura village of the Malwan police station area in Fatehpur district. According to reports, a few months ago, the victim’s family enrolled the child in the Ulama Madrassa located in Saura for Arabic and religious study. Around 5 days ago, they left the child in the Madrassa from where he went missing. 

The deceased victim has been identified as Aalim (9), son of Akhtar Ali who is a resident of Baraura village in Malwan block, Fatehpur. Apart from three daughters, he was the only son in his family. According to reports, on 25th June, Aalim went out of Madrassa after which he went missing. At around 5:00 pm that day, Maulvi Rukumuddin of the Madrasa informed the family about his disappearance. After endlessly searching for their child with no success, the family informed the local police station about it. 

The next day, during the search for the missing child, locals noticed that the cap and slippers of the child were lying near a well that was about 500 meters from the Madrassa. On suspicion, they looked into the well and saw that a sack was going down in the well. They then immediately alerted the Police about it. After reaching the spot, Police with the help of the locals pulled out the sack and recovered the dead body of the missing child.

The father of the deceased child has filed a complaint with the police station against two individuals namely Maulana Hafiz & Bill Nawaz. He has accused them of disposing of the dead body after killing the child. Additional SP Vijay Shankar Mishra said that the body has been sent for postmortem. A case has been registered against two people under relevant sections. Both the youths are being detained and interrogated. 

ASP Vijay Shankar Mishra added that based on the evidence found at the spot, possible reasons and the accused are being investigated.

Rs 25 Lakh contract for murder, weapons from Pakistan: Chargesheet against Lawrence Bishnoi filed in Salman Khan firing case

Maharashtra Police has filed the chargesheet against Lawrence Bishnoi in Salman Khan firing case. As per the chargesheet, Bishnoi had given a contract for the murder of Bollywood megastar for Rs 25 lakh.

As per an NDTV report, the chargesheet shows that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang issued a contract worth ₹25 lakhs in an attempt to murder Salman Khan. The murder plot was hatched over the course of several months, between August 2023 and April 2024.
