Bihar: Retired teacher shot dead during morning walk in Begusarai, his son was killed 2 years ago

On 20th August, a group of miscreants shot dead a retired teacher identified as Jawahar Choudhary near Fateha Halt which comes under the Bachwara Police Station Limits in district Begusarai of Bihar. The incident took place in the wee hours of Sunday. The police have launched a probe into the matter.

Choudhary was killed outside his house when he was on a morning walk. As per reports, three bike-borne assailants came and shot him dead. Acting on the complaint of the locals, the police team reached the crime scene and started investigating the matter. The Bachwara police station in-charge, Ajit Kumar, said in a statement that the probe had been initiated to catch the criminals behind the murder.

Begusarai’s Superintendent of Police said, “A retired teacher, namely Jawahar Choudhary, was shot dead by unidentified miscreants. The reason for the murder is not known yet. The victim’s son doesn’t stay here; he is coming, will question him.”

The initial probe revealed that Choudhary was a witness in his son’s murder case that took place in February 2021. The police sources told Republic News that the murder might be linked to a land dispute. However, it was too early to ascertain anything.

The murder of journalist Vimal Kumar Yadav

Notably, Choudhary’s murder occurred days after the murder of journalist Vimal Kumar Yadav who was associated with Dainik Jagran newspaper. Four out of eight accused in the matter have been arrested. Yadav was killed on the 18th of August when he was at his residence in the Raniganj Bazaar area. The criminals knocked on his door and called his name at around 5:30 AM. When he came out, he was shot in the chest.

According to a preliminary investigation by the Bihar Police, the deceased had a history of animosity with his neighbours, which could have contributed to it. His brother was also killed in a similar way two years ago. The late journalist was under severe pressure to change his testimony as the sole witness in the case.

Sunny Deol’s Juhu Villa to be e-auctioned on September 25​ for non-payment of dues worth nearly Rs 56 crores

Following the blockbuster success of Gadar-2, Bollywood actor Sunny Deol has been living on cloud nine. However, in another development, the Bank of Baroda has served the actor with a notice in connection with dues pending to the tune of nearly Rs 56 crores, reported Times now. 

The case pertains to Sunny Deol’s villa in Juhu. Additionally, his father and veteran actor Dharmendra Deol has also been named in the notice as he was a guarantor in the case. As per reports, the Bank of Baroda has put his Juhu property on sale for recovery of unpaid dues worth Rs 55.99 crores. 

The purported bank notice for the auction has been published in the newspapers. As per the notice, Sunny Deol’s Juhu property will be auctioned in September. The notice states that Ajay Singh Deol aka Sunny Deol borrowed Rs 55,99,80,766.33 from the Bank of Baroda. 

The ad on Times of India

The notice added that Dharmendra was the guarantor in this case. Further, to recover the dues, the bank has clearly stated that his property will be auctioned virtually.

However, his family or any representative of the Deols are yet to comment on the same. 

Established in the late 1980s, this bungalow is claimed to be the place from where Sunny Deol operates his business. The bungalow includes Sunny Super Sound. Additionally, it has a preview theatre and two other post-production suites. 

In February, the Bombay Times reported that Sunny Deol had mortgaged his studio to raise money for his directorial venture, Ghayal Once Again (2016). The report added that in order to settle the outstanding debts he owed to his financiers, the actor decided to take a loan using his property as collateral.

Now as per the procedure, the Bank of Baroda will approach the District Magistrate. After getting the requisite approval from the DM, the successful bidder will get physical possession of the property.

In the virtual auction, the person/group who will bid the highest will get symbolic possession of the bungalow. However, it will be after the approval from the DM that he or she would be given the actual possession of this Juhu property. However, this process could take from months to years.

Madhya Pradesh: Man kills wife and 2 children before committing suicide in Ujjain following a fight over their pet dog

Following a dispute over their pet dog, a 45-year-old man reportedly killed his wife and two children with a sword in Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain district. Afterwards, he proceeded to commit suicide. The incident happened early on the morning of 20 August at the family’s residence in the Badnagar neighbourhood which is around 50 kilometres from the district administrative centre.

According to reports, Dilip Pawar reached home after drinking alcohol on Saturday night. After some time, he began beating their pet dog at around one in the night angry over its presence in the house. His 40-year-old wife Ganga intervened asking him to leave the animal alone. This led to a fight between the two, and he attacked her with a sword, killing her in a fit of rage.

When their 14-year-old son Yogendra and 17-year-old daughter Neha tried to protect their mother, he killed them also with the sword. His other two children, Devendra and Bulbul went up to the terrace after seeing the horrific incident and jumped from there to flee the house for safety.

Sub-Divisional Officer of Police Mahendra Singh Parmar stated that after some time, the accused stabbed himself at his home with a sharp object. He revealed that the latter was an avid alcoholic per the preliminary inquiry.

He conveyed, “Right now, we can’t say confidently that he was drunk when he killed his wife and two children. The investigation is on.” The perpetrator was unemployed for some months. He used to earn money with the help of a freight vehicle but sold it some time ago, according to the policeman. 

He added, “After getting information at around 5 am, we rushed to the spot and sent the bodies for postmortem.” Police announced that a forensic science laboratory team also arrived at the crime scene.

Bihar: Thugs enter government office in Jehanabad, thrash and abuse employee, tell him to work as per their orders at gunpoint

The audacity of criminals is growing every day in Bihar. The latest incident happened on 19 August at Kansua Panchayat Bhawan of Ratni Faridpur block, Jehanabad in Bihar where thugs threatened and thrashed a government employee named Amin Balmukund Kumar. A pistol was also held to his head in order to intimidate him.

The case pertained to the Shakurabad police station area. “This is my territory and I am the authority. No work shall be done here without my approval. I will murder you if you don’t operate according to my orders. Only the gun has been displayed this time. You won’t survive the next time,” was the warning issued to him by Om Prakash alias Badhu Yadav, a resident of Khairuchak village.

The government staff working on the hamlet’s land consolidation have been given offices. The accused arrived at the office along with some of his associates. He threatened and assaulted the victim with belts and sticks for not complying and raised a gun to his head. The entire episode was captured on camera by another employee who was present there.

The perpetrator first entered the office and started bullying the government worker while sitting on a chair. There was initially an argument after which the enraged man stood up, called his people inside and started beating the latter as well as pulled the weapon on him.

Amin Balmukund Kumar narrated the instance. He was working while seated in his office when Om Prakash Yadav arrived with his men and claimed, “You are working in my area without asking us. We are the goons here. Everyone works per our orders. Nothing is done without my permission. If you want to work here, you have to pay money too. Otherwise, we will kill you.”

He mentioned that there were around 12 to 15 individuals. He revealed, “I entered the chamber of my in charge and told him everything. These people then appeared suddenly and began to mistreat him as well. One of them aimed a gun at me. They used belts and sticks. However, everyone started feeling as soon as he announced that the cops were on their way. The nearby villagers had also assembled by that time.”

He disclosed, “He told me that if you want to work here, you have to do it per me, as he was walking away. He stated that I had to work on his orders. He warned that only the gun was shown this time and I won’t make it the following time. Afterwards, they departed the area while brandishing the weapon.”

The entire occurrence is connected to the land. The village is currently undergoing land surveying. The offender wanted to get his work done regarding the same. He had an altercation with government employees about it 15 days ago because they refused to oblige.

Therefore, he marched into the office to pressurise Amin Balmukund Kumar, however, he also objected and conveyed that whatever falls under laws and regulations will be carried out. He proceeded to abuse him as he got incensed. He then started to threaten him and pulled out a pistol.

Police have been notified of the development. Superintendent of Police Jehanabad Deepak Ranjan has informed that he is aware of the issue and asked the concerned station head to look into the matter. Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Rajeev Kumar Singh visited Shakurabad police station and is looking into the situation. Police are conducting raids to arrest the culprits and they would be arrested very soon.

‘Thappad khayega ya jail me jakar chakki peesega’: Son of a judge threatens Police Officers for towing his SUV from a no-parking zone

On Saturday night (19 August), the busy streets of Lucknow’s Hazratganj area witnessed a ruckus for almost half an hour. A man claiming to be the son of a judge hurled abuses and threatened the police officers if they didn’t release his car, which they had towed a little while back from a no-parking zone.

Apparently, the incident unfolded when law enforcement officials, made an announcement with the details of the car via loudspeaker. They repeatedly asked the car owner to remove the vehicle from a no-parking zone. When no one came up to claim the car despite repeated announcements, the officials used a crane and towed the vehicle. 

Following the incident, a man arrived on the scene only to find his car missing. He was informed that the Municipal Corporation had taken away the vehicle. The vehicle towed by the traffic police reportedly had “district judge” written on it and had a Ghaziabad license plate.

This action greatly infuriated the young man who identified himself as the son of a judge. He was accompanied by his mother. He went up to the police officers and asked them to immediately release his car. When the Police officers told him that they couldn’t do anything in this regard, the vehicle owner started openly hurling abuses at the police officers, threatening to slap them and use his influence to ruin their lives.

The man even questioned the officers about their authority to tow a car that had district judge written on it. Interestingly, the video of the incident was caught on camera and the purported video is doing rounds on the internet. In the viral video, the man wearing a mask can be seen threatening the cops to face stern action if they don’t release his vehicle immediately. He also threatened to get them imprisoned. 

Identifying himself as the judge’s son, the man can be heard saying, “Thappad khaega ya jail me jakar chakki peesega?”

He asked the officers to talk to whomsoever they wanted to but get the vehicle release immediately. However, he refused to speak to the joint commissioner of police at the request of the officers saying he can’t talk to him as he needed to urgently leave.

When the matter escalated it reached the senior police officers who spoke to the judge’s wife. Following the conversation, she agreed to pay a fine of Rs 1,100 for violating the parking rules. Subsequently, the police released the towed vehicle.

Jungle Raj returns in Bihar: Miscreants open fire at SR Grand Restaurant in Muzaffarpur, over 20 rounds fired, no major injuries

A chaotic incident unfolded at a restaurant in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, on 19th August 2023 when a group of unidentified individuals began firing without discretion. Reportedly, over 20 round shots were fired, causing panic and chaos within the restaurant premises. The sudden gunfire led to a stampede-like situation among the approximately 35 guests who were present, with everyone scrambling to ensure their safety. Fortunately, all the guests managed to escape without any major injuries. A woman sustained a minor injury to her hand and she is being treated.

Following the outbreak of gunfire, a sense of panic engulfed the surroundings. Swift action was taken as the incident was promptly reported to the police. Currently, law enforcement authorities are actively engaged in investigating the case, relying on CCTV footage as a crucial source of evidence.

The striking incident of gunfire occurred at SR Grand Restaurant, situated on Rewa Road within the jurisdiction of Sadar Police Station. According to reports, the incident involved four young individuals who arrived on two motorcycles. One of them approached the counter where Priyanshu, the younger sibling of the restaurant owner Prince Thakur, was seated. This individual inquired about the presence of Prince Thakur, the restaurant operator from Madhubani. Upon learning that Prince Thakur was not present at the restaurant, the individual asked Priyanshu, the younger brother of the owner, to step aside for a conversation.

Right away, Priyanshu, the younger sibling of Prince Thakur, descended from the restaurant. However, when he spotted the group of four individuals on the staircase, he instinctively recognised their malevolent intentions. Priyanshu swiftly retraced his steps back to the restaurant from the stairs. After this, three assailants brandished pistols and started firing at the windows of the restaurant. Over 20 rounds were discharged from the pistols, leading to the shattering of the restaurant’s front glass. Amidst this chaos, a bullet grazed the hand of a female customer on the premises. She was subsequently admitted to the hospital for treatment.

The abrupt gunfire resulted in several other individuals within the restaurant sustaining minor injuries. These injuries were caused by fragments of glass shattered by the shooting. Subsequent to perpetrating this act, the four criminals departed on a motorcycle, proceeding towards Rewa Road. Upon receiving notification of the indiscriminate gunfire, City SP Arvind Pratap Singh, Officer Kundan Kumar of Sadar Police Station, and their respective police teams promptly arrived at the scene.

Arvind Pratap Singh, SP City, said, “At least 10 rounds of firing happened here…prima facie it appears to be a firing to scare people…this was not a firing targeting anybody…we have got information on 4 people who’re involved, efforts to arrest the all the accused underway.” 

The entire incident was documented by the restaurant’s CCTV cameras, both inside the eatrey showing the panicked customers and outside showing the shooters. Law enforcement authorities are currently in the process of investigating the case.

It is notable that ever since the Rashtriya Janata Dal has come into power by forming an alliance with Nitish Kumar, such crimes are repeatedly happening in Bihar. This reminds people of the Jungle Raj years of Bihar during the 1990s when Lalu Prasad Yadav of the RJD and then his wife Rabri Devi were the chief ministers of the state.

Akhilesh Yadav gets instantly fact-checked by audience when he alleged no electricity supply in Uttar Pradesh

On 19th August 2023, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav gave an interview to TV News Channel Aaj Tak. Akhilesh Yadav got fact-checked on the spot by the audience present in the program when he alleged that there is no electricity supply in Uttar Pradesh in the 10 years of the Modi government in the centre and the 7 years of the Yogi Adityanath government in the state.

Akhilesh Yadav said, “All the power plants in the state are made by the government of the Samajwadi Party. Today, tell me the name of the power plant if the 10 years of the Modi government in the centre and the 7 years of the Yogi Adityanath government in the state have built any plant. What I am saying is, there is no electricity supply in UP. Nobody knows when the supply starts and when it is interrupted.”

As soon as he said this statement, people in the audience shouted, “Now the supply of electricity in UP is better than that used to be before (during the years of the SP regime). We now get more hours of supply. The power plants you set up were not functioning. They are working only now.”

Then, to save face, Akhilesh Yadav pointed out to a person in the audience and said, “Out of those who are shouting here, this old man looks an educated one. Let him tell me the name of the power plant set up by the BJP government. In fact, there is none. You try to name one. Name at least one power plant they set up.”

All this while people kept shouting about the hours of supply as opposed to Akhilesh Yadav’s remarks that there is no electricity supply in UP. Ignoring that, Akhilesh Yadav kept repeating the power plant set-up thing again and again. In the end, he said, “If at all the BJP wants to send its supporters to such programs, it should send at least some educated persons and not any uneducated people like these.”

It is notable that many of the power plants in Uttar Pradesh were not functioning before the Yogi Adityanath government came to power. Many other power plants used to operate at lower capacities. their production also increased during the Yogi Adityanath government. The state produced its record highest electricity to date in the year 2022-23.

Madhya Pradesh: Bajrang Dal and VHP bust a love jihad case in Barwani just before nikah, Muslim youth booked under rape charges and freedom of religion act

On Friday, 18th August 2023, a case of love jihad surfaced in Barwani of Madhya Pradesh. In the Pala Bazar of a Barwani, a Muslim youth was all set to forcibly marry a Hindu girl through Islamic Nikah rituals when the plan was busted as the Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad members barged into the house where the marriage was about to take place.

As soon as the news of the wedding was received, members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad reached the spot in large numbers shouting slogans. They stopped the marriage. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad caught the Hindu girl and the Muslim boy and handed them over to the police.

There was a ruckus in the city about this matter. After the initial interrogation, the police registered a case against the boy under the provisions of the Freedom of Religion Act. Besides, the accused Muslim youth was booked for rape.

Police say that the sections against the accused will be increased if other facts come out during the investigation. Amidst all this, the police have denied the rumours of stone-pelting and forcible closure of shops in the city. However, Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad raised some slogans and recited Hanuman Chalisa after the accused was handed over to the police.

Barwani SP Puneet Gahlod said about this case of love jihad, “Kotwali police had received information that an adult girl was being forcibly married. The police reached the spot as soon as the information was received. Based on the facts that came out after this interrogation, action has been taken against the young man under rape charges and the Freedom of Religion Act. The girl said that the accused also had physical relations with her.”

SP Puneet Gahlod further said, “This is a sensitive matter. There have been some reports in the city that there has been stone pelting between two sides, and shops have been closed. These reports are completely false. The police are fully prepared. There is peace in the city. I appeal to people not to pay heed to rumours. The cyber cell is taking action against those spreading such messages.”

Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s Divisional Organisation Head Atishay Joshi said, “A young man from the Muslim community was forcibly marrying a Hindu sister. When our team members came to know about it, they handed them over to the police. There is complete peace in the city. Bajrang Dal did not create any controversy. We also did not argue. We caught the young man and handed him over to the police.”
