Uttar Pradesh: Class 12 student thrashed and urinated upon by a group of miscreants, 1 arrested after video surfaces, family also alleges ‘kidnapping’

On 26th November (Sunday), the Uttar Pradesh Police said that a class-12 student in the state’s Meerut was assaulted and urinated in the face by a group of young men. The incident reportedly took place on 13th November near KL International School in the Jagriti Vihar area. The horrific act was recorded on camera and it is alleged that the accused shared it on the internet and also sent it to the victim’s family to show their dominance.  

It is further alleged that after filming the act, the accused blackmailed the victim and extorted money by threatening to make the video viral on social media.

A senior police official said that the victim, a son of a lineman of Energy Corporation, had gone out of the house to distribute sweets when he was picked up by the accused. The accused then attacked him with sticks, and rods and threw him on the ground. 

The official added that the accused also urinated upon him and sent the video of the incident to the victim’s relatives to show their dominance. 

The videos of the incident have appeared on social media. In one of the viral videos, a man in a dark grey jacket can be seen beating up the victim at a secluded place. Meanwhile, two other accomplices can also be seen beating the victim and recording the incident while the student kept pleading to stop the assault. In another viral video, a man wearing a white jacket can be seen urinating on the student’s face.

While reports claim that some of the attackers were friends of the victim, the family said that there was no known dispute between them.

Following the incident, based on the complaint of the victim’s father, Uttar Pradesh Police registered a case against seven people on 16th November. As per media reports, four of the accused miscreants have been identified as Avi Sharma, Ashish Malik, Rajan, and Mohit Thakur while other accused are yet unknown. Meanwhile, one accused Ashish Malik has been arrested by the police in this matter. 

The Police have filed charges against the accused under provisions for rioting, voluntarily causing hurt, intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of the peace and criminal intimidation. Media reports claim that the police initially registered a case under mild sections, but increased the severity of the charges after the video of the incident started doing rounds on the internet.

The victim’s father also alleges that the victim was kidnapped by the accused while he was coming back from his relative’s house in the city. As per the victim’s father, there was foul play in registering the FIR. He said, “There’s been a foul play with my report. Sections of kidnapping were not added. These are simple sections. The accused will be bailed out immediately.”

It is alleged that after the kidnapping, he was taken to a deserted area nearby and was attacked where the accused filmed the incident.

Maharashtra: Ashpak Sheikh drugged and raped minor daughter of his love jihad victim for 3 years, used to show her porn and forced to dance naked

A minor girl has been repeatedly raped by her mother’s boyfriend Ashpak Sheikh for the last three years by drugging her in Maharashtra’s Aurangabad district. Her mother is allegedly a ‘love jihad’ victim. The 15-year-old girl stated that her mother is also missing for 3 years. A case was registered against him and he was arrested on 23 November. The events covered by the First Information Report (FIR) occurred between 1 January 2020 and 23 November of this year. Investigation into the matter is underway.

The shocking incident pertains to the Pundalik Nagar police station area of Aurangabad. The complaint regarding the case was submitted by Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) members. The teenager in her complaint revealed that when she was just two years old, her mother filed for divorce from her first husband after which she moved in with Ashpak Sheikh in the Bharat Nagar neighbourhood where she gave birth to a son named Sameer. The accused didn’t think of the child as his own and the couple used to frequently fight over the issue. 

The victim has since moved into the same area with her mother and brother born to the Muslim man. Referring to an incident about 3 years ago, she mentioned that one day she went to a wedding with her brother and her mother called her and told the duo to return home because of an altercation. When they reached the place, she spotted numerous glass fragments scattered around and the Ashpak Sheikh’s throat was scratched.

However, the girl could not find her mother anywhere and Ashpak claimed that she had left when the children inquired about her. He also started making preparations to take them from Aurangabad to Mumbai. She did not believe his words and asked neighbours about her mother who informed her that they had seen her mother suffering a head injury on the same day. Furthermore, they informed that the offender was witnessed chasing her with a wooden stick.

Ashpak Sheikh shifted both kids to Mumbai and stayed there for eight days. Meanwhile, one night he was gathering information about the situation in Aurangabad over the phone. He wanted to know if everything was fine there and whether he could come back. The young girl heard the conversation. The next morning he went to Aurangabad with her and Sameer where he stayed for one month and one day sexually abused the adolescent.

After a while, he travelled to Aurangabad’s Phulambri with her where he began regularly raping her by feeding her chocolate and drug pills in milk. He then took her to his sister Irfana’s residence Naregaon which is also in Aurangabad. Here he talked about fixing the girl’s Nikah (marriage in Islam) with a boy and also unveiled that her Haldi ceremony has been decided.

However, the victim objected to the wedding and was offered two options by him. The first one was to marry the boy of his choice or make a physical relationship with the perpetrator. She was threatened with death if she refused to choose between the two and he continued to violate her sexually taking advantage of her fear. He returned to Aurangabad with her after some time where too he fed her chocolate-coloured pills in milk as well as water and raped her.

The culprit often used to show her pornographic films on his mobile and forced her to dance naked multiple times. On 23 October at around 6 pm, the girl went to Aurangabad’s Karnapura area with her friend and the friend’s mother. She came back home late from there and Ashpak Sheikh tried to rape her once again, but she kicked him hard and got the opportunity after which she fled the house. She then arrived at her friend’s house and spent the night there. She went straight to the Pundalik Nagar police station in the morning without alerting anyone in order to avoid bothering them.

Ashpak Sheikh filed a missing report at the police station after the teen girl left home. However, she asserted that she was safe, and he was doing this to save himself. The victim in her statement noted that she had suffered for the previous three years at his brutal hands. She added that there has been no trace of her mother for these three years. When questioned, the perpetrator alleged that she absconded with someone else.

Members of the Hindu group contacted the victim after learning about the case and provided assistance. The police have launched a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act as well as sections 376, 376 (2)(n), 376 (3), 323 and 504 of the Indian Penal Code. Ashpak Sheikh has been nabbed and authorities are probing the issue. OpIndia has the FIR copy.

‘Rolex-Kumari knows zero material to attack Prime Minister’: Advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai takes veiled dig at TMC MP Mahua Moitra

On Sunday, November 26, Supreme Court lawyer Jai Anant Dehadrai took a veiled swipe at cash for query scam accused Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra saying that “Rolex Kumari” has no ‘material’ to attack Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Taking to X, he further claimed that Mahua Moitra had plans to dump the TMC and West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee after obtaining funds sufficient to launch her own “Bengal Party”. Moitra’s “jilted-ex” went on to claim that the TMC MP used to abuse Mamata Banerjee’s nephew and TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee.

“Even Rolex-Kumari knows zero material to attack Prime Minister. Plan was to dump Didi and TMC Platform once enough “funds” accumulated to start rival Bengal Party. Abused Bhaipo everyday – called him corrupt charisma-less dunce with no political capital. Didi is no fool,” Dehadrai posted.

Prior to this, Jai Anant Dehadrai asserted that “Rolex Kumari” would have to shift from this planet after “everything else comes out”.

“Save this tweet: Don’t know about shoes or foreign trips being investigated, But when everything else comes out, Rolex-Kumari will have to find another planet to shift to,” Dehadrai posted on X on Thursday.

Notably, on November 22, Dehadrai dropped a picture of himself sporting an HMT watch on X and wrote that his HMT is better than a stolen Rolex in a veiled dig at Mahua Moitra who is accused of taking gifts in exchange for asking specific questions in the Lok Sabha and sharing her parliamentary login credentials with Dubai-based businessman Darshan Hiranandani.

“My HMT > Chori Ki Rolex,” Dehadrai posted. It is notable that Mahua Moitra was seen wearing a luxury Rolex Pink Gold Lady Datejust watch that sells for ₹23 lakh to ₹25 lakh.

In response to an X user’s comment that he looked wearing a Rolex watch as well, Dehadrai doubled down saying that he bought it with his own hard-earned income and that he has the watch’s receipt too.

“Don’t you love it? It’s a gorgeous Rolex submariner. Bought with my own income earned from fighting cases – came with a receipt too!” Dehadrai replied.

Interestingly, Columnist and Defence Analyst in an X post on November 22 claimed that Mahua Moitra has changed her WhatsApp display picture in which she is seen wearing a Rolex Pink Gold Lady Datejust watch worth Rs 25 lacs.

“Highly respected MP Hon’ble Sushri Mahua Moitra ji, has according to sources changed her WhatsApp DP after it showed her wearing the Rolex Pink Gold Lady Datejust that reportedly retails for 25 lacs. A similar one with diamonds retails for 34 lacs (not including import duty),” Mitra posted.

Mahua Moitra and Jai Anant Dehadrai’s battle for ‘Henry

Earlier this month, Dehadrai announced that his beloved dog named ‘Henry’ who was supposedly stolen by TMC MP Mahua Moitra has returned to him. Dehadrai shared a video on X and expressed his happiness over welcoming ‘Henry’, a Rottweiler. The feud between TMC MP Mahua Moitra and her ‘jilted ex’ advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai had gotten murkier with the duo fighting over the custody of a dog. Earlier, Dehadrai had written to the Delhi police commissioner accusing Mahua Moitra of stealing and hiding his pet dog Henry.

MahuaGate

On 14th October, the Indian political scene experienced a major tremor as BJP MP Nishkant Dubey wrote to the ethics committee seeking an inquiry against TMC MP Mahua Moitra in the ‘Cash for Query’ matter. He based his complaint on the letter written by Supreme Court lawyer Anant Dehadrai, who alleged that most of the questions asked by the TMC MP in Lok Sabha directly or indirectly benefit businessman Darshan Hiranandani.

Notably, Moitra has accepted that she had shared credentials with Darshan Hiranandani. Following this development, it was recently reported that PAs of Lok Sabha MPs have lost access to Digital Sansad login.

Meanwhile, it was also reported earlier that Darshan Hiranandani who is also an accused in this alleged scam, turned approver and accepted the allegations. In his affidavit, he said that Moitra gave him her Parliament username and password so he could post questions on her behalf. As reported earlier, the IT ministry had stated that it had sent a report to the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee confirming that the TMC leader’s parliamentary ID was accessed 49 times from Dubai. As reported earlier, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) initiated an inquiry against the TMC MP.

NIA conducts raids in 4 states in Pakistan-backed Gazwa-e-Hind terror module case, find links to suspects

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Sunday conducted raids across four states in the Pakistan-backed Gazwa-e-Hind module case.

The raids were conducted at the premises of suspects in Dewas district of Madhya Pradesh, Gir Somnath district of Gujarat, Azamgarh district of Uttar Pradesh and Kozhikode district of Kerala.

The raids revealed links of the suspects, whose premises were searched earlier on the day with Pakistan-based handlers.

“These suspects were in contact with the handlers, and were involved in propagating the radical, anti-India idea of Gazwa-e-Hind,” said the agency.

The raids led to the seizure of incriminating documents and digital devices like mobile phones, and SIM cards. Several documents were also seized during the NIA crackdown, as part of the ongoing investigations in the case, commonly referred to as the Gazwa-e-Hind case, Patna (Bihar).

The case was initially registered on July 14 last year by Phulwarisharif Police in the Patna district of Bihar, following the arrest of one Marghoob Ahmad Danish alias Tahir. Marghoob was the admin of WhatsApp Group ‘Ghazwa-e-Hind’, created by a Pakistani national identified as Zain.

The accused, Marghoob, had added many persons from India as well as other countries, including Pakistan, Bangladesh and Yemen, to the group, which was also active on other social media platforms such as Telegram and BiP Messenger, said the NIA.

“Aimed at radicalizing impressionable youth in the name of the establishment of Ghazwa-e-Hind over the territory of India, the group was being operated by Pakistan-based suspects,” reveals NIA investigation.

As per the investigations, the NIA said, Marghoob was trying to motivate the group members with an ulterior objective of raising sleeper cells for carrying out terrorist activities across India.

“Further, the accused had created another WhatsApp group in the name of ‘BDGhazwa E HindBD’, to which he had added Bangladeshi nationals,” said the federal agency.

The NIA has been probing the case since July 22 last year, when it took over the investigations.

The anti-terror agency had filed a chargesheet against accused Marghoob Ahmad Danish on January 6 this year under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.

Initially opting for a 900 mm pipe through the debris, safety concerns led to the exploration of multiple rescue options simultaneously. The area of entrapment, measuring 8.5 meters in height and 2 kilometres in length, is the built-up portion of the tunnel, offering safety to the labours  with available electricity and water supply.

Five agencies—ONGC, SJVNL, RVNL, NHIDCL, and THDCL—have been assigned specific responsibilities, working collaboratively with occasional task adjustments for operational efficiency.

Note: The timelines provided are subject to change due to technical glitches, the challenging Himalayan terrain, and unforeseen emergencies.

Police seal interstate borders to stop a repeat of the Delhi farmer protests amid 3-day farmer protest called by SKM in Chandigarh

Farmers from all across Punjab and Haryana have begun to gather in large numbers to participate in a three-day protest in Chandigarh. The call for protest was issued earlier by the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) to push for ‘pending demands’ on the third anniversary of the anti-farm law protest. 

(Farmers gathering in Chandigarh for a three-day protest, Video courtesy – The Tribune)

The three-day protest began on Sunday and thousands of farmers from Punjab and Haryana are expected to reach Chandigarh. As per India Today report, hundreds of tractor trolleys have lined up on the roads leading to Chandigarh, a move that resembles a Singhu-Tikri border gathering near Delhi in 2020.

To avoid any untoward incident and repeat of protracted Delhi-like anti-farm law protests, Punjab, Chandigarh, and Haryana police have barricaded interstate borders. The police authorities are taking steps to prevent farmers from entering Chandigarh. Around 2,000 police personnel were slated to be deployed at entry and exit points of the city on Sunday.

According to media reports, the farmers are expected to gather at Gurdwara Amb Sahib in Mohali. Subsequently, on Monday (27th November), the protesting farmers may attempt to march toward Chandigarh.

The SKM which is an umbrella organisation of over two dozen farmer unions has prepared a demand charter for submission to the Governor and Chief Minister of Punjab. Speaking with India Today, the Farmer leaders said that the demands that were “agreed to” at the time of the withdrawal of the three farm laws have not been fulfilled. 

The farmers have been pressing the government to ensure a legal guarantee of the minimum support price (MSP) in line with the recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission report. Their demands also include extending MSP to various crops, withdrawing charges against protesting farmers, addressing concerns related to burning paddy, and providing a monthly pension of Rs 10,000 for farmers aged 60 and above. 

Meanwhile, Five farmers’ associations have also extended support to SKM’s call for a three-day protest in Chandigarh, from November 26 to 28.

AAP teachers’ wing member Anand Prakash accuses BJP of orchestrating the Pulwama terror attack, police complaint filed in Delhi

On 26th November (Sunday), a BJYM official filed a Police Complaint against Anand Prakash, a member of the OBC Commission of the Delhi government and a part of AAP’s teacher wing, after he accused BJP of orchestrating the Pulwama terror attack. The complaint states that Prakash hurt the sentiments of the general public and defamed the Union government by ‘deliberately’ spreading disinformation about the February 2019 Pulwama terror attack. 

Anand Prakash shared a Tweet on X on 26th November 2023 in which he accused the Modi government of carrying out the Pulwama attack to win the Lok Sabha 2019 elections. The complaint also includes the contents and link of the said post.  

Professor Anand Prakash’s post read, “भाजपा ने क्या किया नौ सालो मे? पुलवामा अटैक खुद करवा कर चुनाव जीता देश के जवानों को मार कर”. (Translation – What has the Modi government done in last nine years? It carried out Pulwama attack on its own and won elections after killing Indian soldiers)

The attached link of the post – (https://x.com/anand11_aap/status/17286427231444951337s=46&t=SCkxui6amC3nFgiXIVCDzg)

(The Purported post by member of OBC Commission of Delhi government accusing Modi government of staging false flag operation in Pulwama to secure Lok Sabha 2019 election victory)

However, following the police complaint, he deleted his Twitter account (@anand11_aap), therefore the tweet doesn’t exist. 

Notably, Anand Prakash is an Assistant Professor at Rajdhani College, University Of Delhi. According to his LinkedIn profile, he is also a Member of the OBC Commission of the Government Of NCT of Delhi.

He is also a member of the Aam Aadmi Party, and his Instagram account ID is Anand11_AAP. He is a part of the Academics for Action and Development Teachers’ Association (AADTA), the teachers’ wing of the Aam Aadmi Party.

(His Twitter account doesn’t exist now)

The Police complaint has been filed at the Moti Nagar Police Station by the National Executive Member of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) Abhimanyu Tyagi. 

Regarding the alleged defamatory post, the complaint states, “This post come when the country is mourning over the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and paying homage to the soldier, police officers and other soldiers martyred concerned security and the citizens who were killed in the 26/11 terrorist attack…” 

It added, “..the post of the Accused where he is defaming our country and alleging that the ruling government led by Bharatiya Janata Party had pre-planned the Pulawama attack and killed the soldiers of our country for the sake of winning elections.”

Abhimanyu Tyagi filed the complaint after BJP leader Tajinder Bagga asked him to do so. “He is Assistant Professor in Rajdhani college and blaming India for Pulwama terrorist attack. @Abhiemanyu ji pls go to local police station and file FIR against him,” Bagga had tweeted.

According to the complaint, the post was shared to target the ruling government to dishearten and discourage the soldiers which can be exploited by the enemy countries to plan a war against our nation.

The complaint argued that such an irresponsible statement and post were made by the accused deliberately to invoke and provoke riots in Delhi and other parts of the country by using such disparaging and deprecatory words. 

The complaint further reads, “That Posting such an irresponsible statement by the Accused is deliberate and intentional attempt to invoke and provoke the riots in Delhi and other parts of the country by using such disparaging and deprecatory words by an Assistant Professor who is supposed to be a prudent man and have more responsibility compared to others as he is a teacher and the future of so many students is in the hand of him. It can be very well understood that if he can post such statement than what he must be teaching in his classes.”

The said defamatory post by Professor Anand Prakash is an offence in the Indian Penal Code, 1860 as well as the Information Technology Act, 2000, the complaint added. Subsequently, the complainant demanded that a thorough investigation should be initiated and an FIR be registered against the accused. As per the complaint, prima facia “defamatory post against the BJP-led ruling Government can be a tool to instigate riots”.

Pulwama terror attack

On February 14, 2019, a convoy of vehicles carrying Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel to Srinagar via National Highway 44 came under a suicide bombing attack in Pulwama. 22-year-old Adil Ahmad Dar, a Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist from Kakapora in Jammu and Kashmir, rammed his explosive-laden vehicle into a bus carrying the CRPF personnel. 40 of our jawans were martyred in that cowardly terror attack.

The terrorist organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), based in Pakistan, claimed responsibility for the attack. They also posted a video of the Islamic terrorist Adil Ahmad Dar, who had joined the outfit a year before. In an official statement, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) stated that Pakistan was responsible for assisting terrorist attacks and that JeM founder Maulana Masood Azhar had been “given the freedom to target India.”

However, the ghastly terror attack was not spared by certain opposition leaders and political parties who tried to give a clean chit to Pakistan and the terrorists involved.

The opposition leaders tried to pin the blame on Narendra Modi instead and tried to spin conspiracy theories around the attack. The anti-Modi sentiment and the fear of getting wiped out from the political spectrum ahead of the 2019 general elections were so deep-rooted in the opposition leaders that they went on to accuse Modi of executing this brutal attack for BJP’s political gains. Many of them also questioned the role of the armed forces during this attack. Others questioned the air strike by the Indian Air Force in Balakot after this attack.

Strikingly, on 21st July this year, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee also tried to pass off the 2019 Pulwama terror attack as a ‘staged incident’ at her Martyr’s Day rally at Esplanade in Kolkata.

In her speech, Banerjee claimed, “I will tell the students and the youth that the BJP is planning to pull off staged events such as Pulwama (terror attack).” 

“They are planning to create fake, staged videos like in movies. They will stage dramas, shoot videos, and defame Bengal. This is their conspiracy,” she brazened it out.

Watch: ‘AICC Ka Neta Bol Raha Hai’ – Congress President abuses party supporters in Telangana, asks them to shut up or leave

On 26th November, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge got angry at his own party supporters during a public meeting in Kalwakurthy, Telangana. During his address at the political rally for the upcoming Telangana Elections, Kharge got angry at the supporters because they were saying something and asked them to leave if they did not want to listen to him.

In the live stream of the video, it can be seen that when Kharge was addressing the rally in Hindi which was being translated to Telugu by a party leader, some people in the audience were raising their hands and chanting some slogans, which were not audible. Kharge got angry with this and asked them to shut up or leave the venue.

He said, “Hey keep quiet! If you want to listen, stay, otherwise get out. Don’t talk [like] that. Don’t you realise, the person speaking at this meeting is a leader of the All India Congress Committee? And you are saying whatever you like. If you are willing to listen, then listen, otherwise go to your place.”

Sharing the clip, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) IT Cell chief Amit Malviya said, “This is not unusual. Kharge ji, despite being the Congress President, is humiliated in all his public meetings. He helplessly screams and shouts at his workers, who don’t give him the requisite respect. The Gandhis have reduced him to a rubber-stamp President. His photos had either disappeared or reduced to stamp size in all Rajasthan ads, for instance, whereas Rahul Gandhi and Gehlot’s pictures were displayed dominantly. Is the Congress insulting Mr Kharge because he is a Dalit?”

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has a long history of association with controversies. In August this year, despite being chief of the second largest political party in the Lok Sabha, Kharge decided not to attend the Independence Day ceremony. The seat designated for him remained vacant at the function. In May 2023, a complaint was filed against Kharge for bringing up President Droupadi Murmu’s caste ahead of the new Parliament building. In April 2023, Kharge called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a “poisonous snake” ahead of the Karnataka Assembly elections. Earlier in November 2022, he compared PM Modi with demon king Raavan during an election rally.

Ghaziabad: Tailor Shahid Hussain kills his wife by stabbing her in the neck with scissors for refusing to give money to eat chicken fries

Shahid Hussain – a tailor in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh – killed his wife by stabbing her neck with scissors. The reason for the murder is said to be not giving money to eat chicken fries. Police have arrested Shahid Hussain and sent him to jail. The matter is being investigated and further legal action is underway. The incident took place on Saturday (25th November).

According to Ghaziabad police, this case is from the Loni police station area. Here, 50-year-old Shahid Hussain (son of Makdoom Hussain) lives near 100-feet Road in Prem Nagar. He is a tailor by profession and runs his business from his own house. For this, he has installed sewing 3 machines in the house. Shahid’s daughters also help in their father’s work.

Shahid had borrowed Rs 600 from his wife Noor Bano to buy yarn etc for his shop. On Saturday, Shahid received an order from a customer to sew some clothes. Shahid had taken Rs 2,000 in advance from the customer who ordered pyjamas and repaid his wife’s loan of Rs 600.

After a while, when Shahid felt like eating chicken fries, he again demanded money from his wife Noor Bano. Noor Bano refused to give money to her husband, which led to an argument between the two. But after a while, Noor Bano ordered chicken fries herself. However, Noor Bano’s children refused to eat it. Shahid and Noor Bano once again started fighting over this matter.

The argument escalated between the husband and wife, and he took his scissors and struck her on her neck with it. Realising what he had done, Shahid Hussain fled from the house, and his son and daughter took their mother to the hospital.

Noor Bano’s son admitted his mother to GTB Hospital in Delhi but the victim died there. The police apprehended Shahid on 25th November and sent him to jail after necessary legal action. According to media reports, the deceased woman’s sons Arsalan and Shahnawaz have accused their father of coming home drunk on the night of the incident. They also said that their mother was very upset with this habit.
