‘No beef to eat’: Pakistan media laments over food options available to the cash-strapped nation’s cricket team during World Cup

While the Pakistani players were welcomed warmly and offered hospitality that their home country could only dream of, Cricket Pakistan, a Pakistani sports news website, published an article about how the Pakistani players are meeting their daily protein requirements given the “unavailability” of beef in India.

The article titled World Cup 2023: Pakistan team’s diverse food menu revealed, read: In a country where beef is not available for all the participating teams, Pakistan has devised a diverse menu to meet their daily protein requirements, relying on chicken, mutton, and fish.”

Taking to X, Cricket Pakistan posted, “With beef not available to all the 10 participating teams in India, Pakistan team’s diet chart is made up of a diverse menu to meet their daily protein requirements.”

The audacity of the Pakistani media outlet to subtly mock the cow-worshipping Hindu majority of India and assert that Pakistani players mostly rely on beef to meet their daily protein requirements is amusing, given how recently the country was struggling for even basic food items like wheat flour due to a food crisis and inflation. Several cases of violence during food distribution drives were also reported, with Pakistani “awam” battling to obtain a bag of flour rather than beef.

One wonders if the Pakistan Cricket Board can afford even beef without the money obtained from begging before the IMF and China.

In response to Cricket Pakistan’s said X post, the Indian netizens dropped hilarious comments giving a reality check to the delusional Pakistani media outlet.

An X user wrote, “Respect the culture of a country you’re visiting. Did you guys serve pork to England, Australia or the New Zealand cricket team when they visited you??? Obvs NO. So what all this drama for?? You guys acting like these players are prince of England royal family or something. Few days ago they was struggling to get paid from PCB & even getting low rate match fees. They just received a welcome yesterday & today their media thinks they are some superstars. If someone is giving your players respect learn to digest it.”

Another one wrote, “Who is handling this account? Can’t even respect the culture of a country that indirectly taunting it and mentioning it.”

One “Dr. Liberal” advised Cricket Pakistan to be “thankful to Allah that they are getting good food in India, otherwise in Pakistan, they would not even get Rotis.”

Another X user wrote, “Man, I swear, most of us do not even want y’all to come here.”

Meanwhile, a Pakistani netizen taunted the media outlet for its disgraceful journalism and wrote, “Amazing sports journalism. Next topic, Babar chai mein kitni sugar leta hai?”

One Devi Prasad Rao wrote, “Disrespecting the sentiments of others, including your unnecessarily gracious hosts, comes naturally to Pakistanis! In fond remembrance of @TarekFatah “How does one nation produce so many rectums?”

While many Indian netizens took a “pork” jibe at the Pakistani media, one Prashant Jaiswal shared a Pakistani media report about Arab countries asking Pakistan not to send beggars disguised as pilgrims as 90% of beggars caught are Pakistanis.

Notably, while India offered a warm welcome to the Pakistani cricket team, PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf insinuated that India is a “dusman Mulk” (enemy nation) during a media interaction on Thursday. “Mera maksad ye hi hai ki hamaare players ka morale up rehna chahiye, jab ye dushman mulk me khelne jaaye, ya kahi bhi jaaye jaha competition ho raha hai. (I just want my players to be in high morale when they are in the enemy nation, or anywhere in the world, to take part in the competition),” the PCB chairman said.

Pakistan’s World Cup participation has been fraught with complications. After months of uncertainty, the team gained permission from the government to fly to India. This scenario was worsened further by India’s decision not to travel to Pakistan for this year’s Asia Cup. Despite the fact that former PCB chairman Najam Sethi ‘threatened’ not to send the Pakistani squad to India for the World Cup, their players are here.

Notably, Pakistan will play the Netherlands in the opening match on October 6 in Hyderabad. The World Cup commences with defending champion England facing off against New Zealand, the last edition’s runner-up, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India will embark on their World Cup campaign against the five-time winners Australia on October 8 at the Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. In this year’s event, a total of 10 teams are participating. Each team will compete against all others, and the top four teams will progress to the semi-finals.

West Bengal: Charred body of Bangladeshi woman found in North 24 Parganas, accused Nasher Mills arrested

On Tuesday (September 26), the charred body of a woman was discovered in the Gobindapur area in Swaranpur in North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal.

As per a report by India Today, the victim was identified as Somayya Akhtar Briahti. Originally from Dhaka in Bangladesh, she used to work at a beauty parlour in Mumbai.

The partially burnt body of the woman was found by locals when they went out to pluck flowers in the nearby field. Reportedly, her hands were tied to a stick with ropes and a scarf was placed on her face before setting the body on fire.

In a disturbing video that went viral on social media, the charred body of the victim could be seen lying on the field. The victim was covered in a pool of blood while smoke was seen emitting from her completely burnt face.

On receiving information about the matter, the police reached the crime spot and sent the body for autopsy. The incident created an atmosphere of fear among the local residents.

According to India Today, the police conducted a probe into the matter and arrested an accused named Nasher Mills in connection to the case. The man has confessed to the murder of Somayya Akhtar Briahti.

In a tweet, BJP spokesperson Amit Malviya said, “This is the situation of law and order in West Bengal. Tied-up body of a young woman with her throat slit and face charred beyond recognition, was found in a pool of blood from an orchard close to the India-Bangladesh border in North 24-Parganas.”

“But Mamata Banerjee won’t utter a word. It won’t be a surprise if criminals, patronised by the TMC, involved in women trafficking, are behind this. But then it would mean a silent burial to the tragic death,” he added.

Will Rahul Gandhi, who is quick to shed crocodile tears, when politically expedient, castigate Mamata Banerjee for failing to protect women in West Bengal? Or compulsion of “I.N.D.I Alliance” will come in the way?” Malviya further inquired.

Rajasthan: Half-burned body of a woman found on the streets near Jaipur, BJP slams Congress raising concern over woman safety

In another shocking incident of crime against women in Rajasthan, a half-burned body of a woman has been found near Jaipur with the police and the locals suspecting that she might have been assaulted and then burned to death. The incident happened in the Papar village of the Kanota Thana rural area in Jaipur’s Jamwa Ramgarh.

According to police, the incident came to light after some of the locals discovered the charred body of a woman and informed the police. The police and the forensic experts immediately reached the spot and began the investigation of the case.

Bassi ACP Phoolchand Meena said the half-burnt body was spotted by locals, and when police were informed, a police team reached the area and recovered the body. A forensics team accompanying them collected evidence from the spot. He said that the age of the woman is around 25 years old.

“Villagers informed the Police about the burnt body of a woman this morning. We reached the spot and questioned the people in the vicinity. Nobody has been identified yet. The woman is around 25 years old…Strict action will be taken against the accused at the earliest,” ACP Meena told ANI.

A murder case has been lodged in the matter, and efforts are underway to identify the woman and nab the accused, the ACP added. The police suspect that the woman was burned after murdering her to conceal her identity.

The BJP took cognizance of the event and slammed the Congress-led government in the state for failing to protect the dignity of a woman. BJP’s national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla commented on the issue and expressed concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.

“In Jaipur, Jamwa Ramgarh, the burnt corpse of a woman has been found in broad daylight. The situation of law and order in Rajasthan has reached rock bottom. This has become a norm in Rajasthan. Such kind of atrocities on women are happening on a daily basis. Rajasthan has become number one in women’s atrocities. Just days ago in Sikar, a young minor girl was gang-raped, killed, and put into the well. In Hanumangarh, a rape survivor committed suicide because the police did not support her. In Pratapgarh, a woman was stripped naked and paraded,” he said while talking to the media.

He also launched an attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi for issuing fake promises of protecting women. “We are witnessing the manner in which Rajasthan has become the number one state in terms of women’s atrocities. It is happening because the Chief Minister says most of the rape cases are fake, and their cabinet minister says if you are a woman in Rajasthan, you will get raped as it is ‘mardo ka Pradesh (a state dominated by men). But not a single word from Rahul and Priyanka. This shows the hypocrisy and double standards,” he added.

The state of Rajasthan has seen several rape cases in the past few months. Recently, on September 26, a 15-year-old minor girl was murdered after being gang-raped. Her dead body was later thrown into the well. The incident took place in Ramgarh market, Sikar where the 15-year-old girl, originally from Churu district, was staying at her maternal home for studies.

Also, one accused identified as Moin Khan, a resident of Jalupura entrapped a young woman and two minor girls of age 14 and 17 respectively. He kept them hostage and raped them. He also took money from his friends who proceeded to sexually assault the 14-year-old. She was held captive by him for around a month.

On September 3, a minor girl was gang-raped and then burnt alive by 11 persons identified by the Police. The 14-year-old was gang-raped and set ablaze on August 3 at Koatri in Bhilwara, now part of the Shahpura district. The list of the accused included two minors.

Notably, it was reported last year, that the state of Rajasthan recorded the highest number of rape cases in the country. As per the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) report, the state of Rajasthan recorded 6,337 rapes in the year 2021 followed by Madhya Pradesh (2,947), Uttar Pradesh (2,845), and Maharashtra (2,496). Rajasthan also reported an increase in crimes against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

However, this comes a day after a horrific case of rape of a minor was reported from Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. The 12-year-old girl was raped in Ujjain and was roaming in the city seeking help from the locals. She had injuries on her private parts and was scared. She was rescued by one of the Hindu priests who later informed the police about the incident. The Congress leaders including Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, Kamal Nath, and several other Congress supporters slammed the BJP for allegedly failing to protect the dignity of the women in Madhya Pradesh.

“(Prime Minister Narendra) Modiji is traveling from place to place showing the dream of women’s reservation and trying to garner applause. The reality is that a very painful incident of brutality has come to light against a 12-year-old minor from BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh,” Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge posted on X, formerly Twitter.

“There is no justice, no law and order, and no rights – today, the entire country is ashamed of the condition of the daughters of Madhya Pradesh. But the chief minister of the state and the Prime Minister of the country have no shame at all – they have suppressed the screams of their daughters amidst election speeches, hollow promises and false slogans,” Rahul Gandhi said.

However, neither of the three had commented on the burnt body of the woman found on the streets of Jaipur till the writing of this report.

UP: 15-year-old madarsa student dies under suspicious circumstances, family accuses incharge including five people of rape and murder

A 15-year-old madarsa student who was injured under suspicious circumstances around two and a half months ago in the Feelkhana area of Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur died during treatment on 10 September per a report in Jagran.

Her family has accused five persons, including the madarsa in charge of sexual assault and murder of their daughter. The perpetrators performed the last rites of the victim without a post-mortem. A First Information Report has not been registered yet in this matter.

The family members notified the incident to local police on 28 September. The minor girl of a labourer from Colonelganj was studying alima (inter) at the institution. The people from the madarsa informed her family on 9 July that she had suffered significant injuries after falling off the roof. They took her to Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital and she was sent to Apollo Hospital in Chunniganj after her condition deteriorated.

The pupil passed away on 10 September. The madrassa administrator and his coworkers reportedly buried the body without a post-mortem, according to her relatives. They complained to the authorities and asked them to take the culprits into custody. Feelkhana police station in-charge Sunil Kumar stated that the matter is not under cognizance. He added that a case is going to be submitted and action will begin after they receive an official complaint.

A 17-year-old female madrasa student named Asmiy near Balarampuram in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram allegedly committed suicide in her hostel room in May of this year. Her body was found hanging inside the library of Al Aman Educational Complex.

She told her mother that she was being harassed and was not allowed to talk to friends. The 12-standard student asked her to visit immediately, however, the latter was not allowed to meet the minor once she reached the religious establishment.

A complaint with the Balarampuram Police soon after under Section 174 (inquest proceedings) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) was lodged after the unfortunate instance occurred and an investigation into the horrific episode commenced.

Kozhikode: Sexual assault victim to move court against medical examiner, says “some trying to hide truth using influence and power”

Kozhikode: Sexual assault victim to move court against medical examiner, says “some trying to hide truth using influence and power”

A sexual assault victim in Kozhikode, Kerala has decided to move court against the gynaecologist who conducted her medical examination. The victim was allegedly sexually assaulted in a semi-conscious state post her thyroid surgery in the ICU at the Kozhikode Medical College by an attendant in March this year.

The victim has reportedly stated that she would pursue legal action after receiving a full copy of the investigation report. This comes after the Kozhikode Assistant Commissioner allegedly dismissed the victim’s claim that the gynaecologist had omitted crucial information during the medical examination following the incident.

Moreover, the officials had informed in writing to the complainant that they wouldn’t be taking action against the doctor. The victim has reportedly claimed that some had tried to hide the truth using their influence and power.

Following the alleged sexual assault, the victim was subjected to a medical examination in the presence of Dr Preetha KV. She later alleged in her complaint to the Commissioner that the doctor overlooked crucial information in her report.

It was based on her complaint that the Medical College Assistant Commissioner K. Sudharshan conducted a probe and submitted a report. The officer also collected the statements of Dr Preetha, Junion Doctor, Nurse and others.

Earlier reports claim that the victim was made to repeatedly record statements and had raised concerns over official laxity in the case. Following this, the victim had warned earlier in September that she would resort to an open protest demonstration if the government and police failed to take necessary action.

The victim had also complained that the hospital staff had initially tried to ignore the issue. Five hospital staff who reportedly threatened the survivor to keep mum were reinstated in service by the college principal. The decision was repealed following public outrage. The victim has also reportedly been pressurised to drop the charges.

She said, “I visited at least 50 offices n the last four months. I had to plead before the minister, the collector, and the commissioner for justice even before fully recovering from the pain post-surgery. The situation is such that each time you have to run helter-skelter if some action needs to be taken against the perpetrator. Is this the; women’s safety’ that we are speaking of all the time? If this is what happens to victims who react, will anyone come forward to complain?”

Moreover, when the victim approached the commissioner’s office citing discrepancies in the report submitted by the gynaecologist in the case, she was allegedly discouraged by the officials from pursuing the case.

The issue was brought to the notice of the DGP and a complaint was lodged but no statement was recorded.

In March, the Kerala police arrested a staff of the Government Medical College, Kozhikode, for the alleged sexual assault of a woman who was in a semi-conscious state post-surgery. The police arrested the Grade II attendant, MK Saseendran (55), who has been charged under various sections of the IPC including 376 (Rape) and 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty).

The accused was also suspended from service by the state health department. A departmental inquiry was ordered into the incident.

Cauvery water dispute: 44 flights cancelled, 5 protestors taken in custody at Bengaluru airport amid Karnataka bandh by pro-Kannada groups

The decades-old Cauvery water dispute between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka continues to create hurdles for the residents. Kannada Okkuta, an umbrella group representing Kannada organisations called for a statewide bandh (strike) on 29 September and as many as 44 flights were cancelled at Bengaluru International Airport amidst the chaos.

According to the public relations officer (PRO) of the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) in Bengaluru, this includes the cancellation of 22 aircraft that were planned to arrive in Bengaluru and 22 planes that were scheduled to depart from the capital. These flights were scheduled to arrive from a number of cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Mangaluru.

The airport authorities confirmed that the flights were cancelled for operational reasons and that the passengers were promptly informed of this. The sources, however, claimed that cancellations were brought on by the Karnataka bandh since so many people had rescinded their reservations. Furthermore, five pro-Kannada protestors who had come onto the grounds of the airport waving a Karnataka flag were detained. They had reportedly purchased tickets in order to enter the airport’s premises.

The airport’s administration previously issued a passenger advisory in light of the bandh and noted that they expect an interruption in transport services to and from the airport. They recommended travellers to schedule their commutes properly and to monitor alerts from airlines and authorities for new information.

BLR Airport posted on social media, “Due to the one-day Karnataka bandh called by various unions and organisations on September 29, 2023, we anticipate a disruption in transport services. Passengers are advised to plan their travel to and from the airport accordingly. Passengers are requested to follow alerts from respective airlines, law enforcement agencies and media releases for further updates.”

Karnataka Bandh

The state is currently experiencing the statewide bandh that over 2,000 pro-Kannada organisations announced in protest against the release of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu. The pro-Kannada outfits organised demonstrations and sloganeering at various sites as the band commenced at six in the morning. More than 50 individuals who represented multiple groups have been apprehended in various parts of the state.

Normal life is impacted by the dawn-to-dark protest as transportation, lodging and other amenities remained closed throughout the state. Protest marches are scheduled around the state including the capital Bengaluru. All educational institutions in the districts of Bengaluru and Mandya remain closed and restrictions under section 144 have been imposed in the city. A large number of police personnel have been deployed across the state.

Kannada Okkuta is a coalition of farmers’ organisations and groups from Karnataka Rakshana Vedike, Kannada Chalavali (Vatal Paksha) and other entities that have called for a statewide shutdown. According to bandh organisers, there will be an extensive demonstration procession from Town Hall to Freedom Park in the city and participants from all spheres of society are expected to take part.

They conveyed that the bandh would be observed throughout all of Karnataka and that they would make an effort to close all airports, toll booths, train services, and highways. The bandh has received backing from the Karnataka hotel, autorickshaw, and hail rider organisations as well as the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal (Secular).

Over 200 protesters from pro-Kannada organisations have been held by the Bengaluru Police in an assortment of locations including the airport and close to Attibele which is near the border between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

Bengaluru IT corridor gridlock

There was severe traffic congestion in Bengaluru with vehicles clogged up for hours on the evening of 27 September. The Outer Ring Road (ORR) section of the city was the worst affected and left lakhs of commuters stranded for more than five hours.

Numerous events such as rallies planned by the ‘Karnataka Jala Samrakshana Samiti’ against the Cauvery River water issue, Ganesh Visarjan and a later cancelled performance by comedian Trevor Noah contributed to the city’s tech corridor’s acute gridlock.

The Outer Ring Road Companies Association (ORRCA), a group comprised of all businesses located in the Outer Ring Road and Arterial Areas between Central Silk Board Junction and Krishnarajapura alerted businesses to advise their staff to lengthen their exit time in response to the jam in ORR.

Police officers reported that the impending long weekend and the numerous individuals departing the city could have been responsible for the traffic bottleneck. While September 28 was a holiday due to Eid-e-Milad an-Nabi, a statewide bandh over the sensitive Cauvery matter was announced on 29 September and 2 October is going to be a holiday because of Gandhi Jayanti.

Cauvery Dispute

The long-standing Cauvery water-sharing conflict erupted in controversy once more in 2012 when the Karnataka government disobeyed the order of Manmohan Singh, who was the prime minister at the time, government to give 9,000 cusecs (cubic feet per second) of water to Tamil Nadu. Violent demonstrations were prompted by the rejection, which raised public awareness of the problem.

The most recent development occurred on 21 September after the Supreme Court decided not to get involved and maintained the Cauvery Water Management Authority’s (CWMA) order to the Karnataka government to provide 5,000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu for 15 days.

As the upper riparian state, Karnataka refused Tamil Nadu’s request for additional Cauvery river water and highlighted a lack of rainfall in August and warnings that it was facing a drought-like situation. Farmers in the region became alarmed when authorities in Karnataka expressed fears that the reservoirs along the Cauvery river were drying up.

On the other hand, Tamil Nadu’s farmers depend on Cauvery water greatly, particularly for their ‘Kuruvai’ crop. The Cauvery Delta region’s cropland which covers about 30 lakh acres depends on river water for its agricultural operations.

The main entity now in charge of resolving the impasse between the two states is the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA), an apolitical body set up under the supervision of the Union Water Resources Ministry to supervise the implementation of the Supreme Court rulings announced in 2018.

The judgement defined water-sharing requirements only for a normal monsoon year, not a distress year, as the current one is proving to be with rainfall that is more than 30% below normal, according to political parties in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in Tamil Nadu and the Congress in Karnataka have requested the Prime Minister’s intervention to create a framework for settling conflicts under challenging conditions. Out of the four months of monsoon that started in June, the rainfall in August and September was the least in Karnataka in 123 years.

Now, farmers from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka have protested in the streets, calling for an end to the Cauvery water-sharing dispute. According to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on 27 September, a case challenging the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee’s directive to Karnataka to release water to Tamil Nadu would be heard in the apex court. The panel had instructed Karnataka to supply water to the adjacent state at a rate of 3,000 cubic feet per second (cusecs) from 28 September to 15 October.

I&B ministry assures strict action on actor Vishal’s corruption allegations against CBFC, deputes officer to Mumbai for investigation

On 29th September 2023, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting assured Tamil actor Vishal that the strictest action would be taken against the alleged corruption in the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) Mumbai. On 28th September, Vishal alleged that officials in the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in Mumbai took a bribe of Rs 6.5 lakh for the censor certification of the Hindi version of his film ‘Mark Antony’.

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting wrote in a post on the social media platform X, “The issue of corruption in CBFC brought forth by actor Vishal is extremely unfortunate. The Government has zero tolerance for corruption and the strictest action will be taken against anyone found involved. A senior officer from the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting has been deputed to Mumbai to conduct an inquiry today itself. We request everyone to cooperate with the Ministry, by providing information about any other instance of harassment by CBFC at [email protected].”

On Thursday, 28th September, Vishal took to X and dropped a video in which he accused the officials from the CBFC of demanding a bribe of Rs 6.5 lakh in exchange for screening and granting a U/A certificate to his film.

“Corruption being shown on the silver screen is fine. But not in real life. Can’t digest it. Especially in govt offices. And even worse happening in the CBFC Mumbai office. Had to pay 6.5 lacs for my film Mark Antony Hindi version. 2 transactions. 3 Lakhs for screening and 3.5 Lakhs for certificate,” he wrote He appealed to Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to look into the matter.

“Never faced this situation ever in my career. Had no option but to pay the concerned mediator #Menaga coz too much at stake since the movie released today. Bringing this to the notice of Hon Chief Minister of Maharashtra and my Hon PM Narendra Modiji. Doing this is not for me but for future producers. NOT HAPPENING. My hard-earned money gone for corruption ??? No way. Evidence down for all to hear. Hope truth prevails as always. GB,” Vishal added.

Vishal also mentioned that he gave ₹3 lakh to Jeeja Ramdas and ₹3.5 lakh to M Rajan. He also shared their bank account details.

However, director Ashoke Pandit, a former member of CBFC, has said that CBFC does not have officials with these names. While talking to news agency ANI, film director Ashoke Pandit said, “There are two names he takes in his statement, M Rajan and Jija Ramdas. As per my knowledge, these two are not the employees of CBFC. Accusing a CBFC officer at this stage is not right. But if allegations are being made, then we demand a CBI inquiry because the allegations are very serious. It is obvious that any officer who demands money will not take it (directly) into his account. These two people he named should be asked if they have taken the money on someone’s behalf at the CBFC. High power inquiry should be initiated in this case.”

Even if Jeeja Ramdas and M Rajan are not CBFC employees, as said by Pandit, it is possible that they received the money on behalf of officials. Govt officials are known to receive bribe money through other people.

Ashoke Pandit also said that he will be writing a letter on behalf of IFTDA (Indian Film & Television Directors’ Association) to CBFC Chairperson Prasoon Joshi demanding CBI probe into the charges.

Mark Antony is a science fiction action comedy film which was released on September 15. It is directed by Adhik Ravichandran and produced by S Vinod Kumar under Mini Studio. The movie stars Vishal and S J Suryah in dual roles. The movie is doing well at the Tamil box office, and the makers are readying to release its Hindi version.

Nuh: Attempt to crush SDM Sanjeev Kumar at the spot where DSP was murdered by mining mafia a year ago

Nuh: Attempt to crush SDM Sanjeev Kumar at the spot where DSP was murdered by mining mafia a year ago

A year after Haryana Deputy Superintendent of Police Surendra Singh was murdered by the mining mafia in Nuh district of the state, a similar incident is reported to have happened in the Tauru block of Nuh on Thursday, September 28. An attempt was made by the mining mafia in the Tauru block to crush current SDM Sanjeev Kumar.

As per the report published by Tribune India, at around 2 p.m., the Tauru SDM and his team ordered a vehicle loaded with mined material to slow down, but the driver allegedly rushed forward in an attempt to run over anybody standing in his way. The driver took off with the vehicle, but the SDM security team managed to capture a co-conspirator. The event happened close to the Bawal border and a short distance from the spot where DSP Surender Singh was murdered in July of last year by a dumper truck loaded with stones.

“The driver fled towards Pachgaon village, which is notorious for illegal mining and is the native place of the accused in the DSP murder case. The driver’s accomplice, Mustafa, has been handed over to the police,” one of the officials was quoted as saying.

A police case has been filed based on the complaint of the SDM’s security official, Teekam Singh. The SDM also commented on the issue and said that his team tried to chase the truck but the driver hit rushed in maximum speed. “We chased the truck, but the driver tried to hit our vehicle several times. His accomplice opened the truck’s back flap, unloading the entire gravel while trying to attempt to bury our car. The driver fled with the empty vehicle while the accomplice was caught,” said the SDM.

In July last year, Haryana DSP Taoru Surendra Singh Bishnoi was run over by the mining mafia and killed in Panchaon near Nuh in the Mewat region of Haryana. As per reports, DSP Bishnoi had gone for a surprise inspection of a site where illegal mining was taking place. However, the mining mafia ran the dumper over him and killed him. The dumper that was used to kill him was the same one that was used for illegal mining of sand.

Bishnoi was acting on inputs of illegal mining in the area. Upon reaching the site he signalled a truck carrying stones to slow down. However, instead of slowing down and stopping, the driver sped up and ran over him, killing him instantly.

The current incident also comes a month after the state administration launched a ‘bulldozer action’ in Tauru town. The action was imposed after massive violence was reported in Haryana’s Nuh. Teams of the Rapid Action Force, including the Women Police Force, demolished more than 200 illegal homes sheltering immigrants during the four-hour-long operation, which was organized by the Haryana Urban Development Authority.

The operation, which was part of the “Remove Encroachments” campaign, was carried out, according to the particulars, at the order of Ajit Balaji Joshi, Chief Administrator of the Haryana Urban Development Authority. Sanjeev Kumar, a Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), was also present at the site.

FIR filed against Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun for issuing threats ahead of India-Pak World Cup match at Narendra Modi Stadium

The Gujarat police on Friday, September 29, registered an FIR against Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun for issuing threats ahead of the 2023 ODI World Cup match between India and Pakistan scheduled to be held on October 14 in the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The FIR against Pannun has been registered under 121(A),153(A)(B), 505 IPC, UAPA and IT Act 66 F by the Ahmedabad Police.

“Threatening pre-recorded messages were published on various social media handles and an attempt was made to spoil the atmosphere. FIR registered against Pannu under 121(A),153(A)(B), 505 IPC, UAPA and IT Act 66 F,” Ajit Rajian, Cyber Crime DCP, Ahmedabad was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

On September 27, many people in India received a call from a UK phone number +44 7418 343648 wherein a prerecorded audio message by the terrorist was played. In the newly issued threat message, Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun said, “On Shaheed Nijjar’s assassination, we are going to use ballot against your bullet. We are going to use the vote against your violence. This October, it will not be the World Cricket Cup. It will be the beginning of the World Terror Cup. The message is from Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the SFJ general council.”

It is notable that since the death of Khalistani Terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, Canada, Khalistani groups have been accusing India, a claim now supported by the Canadian govt. The Khallistanis have put up posters in Canada calling for the assassination of heads of Indian missions in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver. Recently, such posters put up in front of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara temple in Surrey were removed.
