Bihar: Nishant Raza poses as Brahmin, possesses fake IDs and character certificates, blackmails two Hindu women, arrested

On Monday, the Bihar Police arrested a man identified as Nishant Raza for posing as a Hindu individual and blackmailing two Hindu women after sexual harassment. The Police recovered two identity cards from the accused, one of which was that of a Hindu person and the other one was of a Muslim person. The accused posed as Nishant Raj and trapped two Hindu women in the Champaran district of Bihar.

According to the reports, the incident is said to have happened in the Motihari region of East Champaran district. The accused man who runs a YouTube channel named ‘Tarang media’ approached the two women and asked if he could stay in their premises on rent. He said that he was a Brahmin and that his name was Nishant Raj.

Later, the accused shot derogatory videos of the women and began blackmailing them over the videos. The Police filed an FIR based on the complaint of one of the women who confirmed that he had posed as a Brahmin and had said that he was a media person.

The Police launched an investigation into the case and discovered that the accused belonged to another community and his name is Nishant Raza. The police also recovered two identity cards from him, one in the name of Nishant Raj and the other one as Nishant Raza. The Police said that the accused had also made fake character certificates from the SP office.

The Police confirmed that the accused had blackmailed several women in the past and that his phone (now recovered by the Police) carried many derogatory videos of several Hindu women. In the current case, the woman who filed a police complaint against the accused is the mother of late army personnel and she said that the accused also harassed her daughter-in-law along with her.

Notably, the girlfriend of the accused arrived at the Chhatauni Police Station to seek the release of the accused. But after knowing the facts of the case, she cried and returned. SP Kantesh Mishra said that the accused had made two different character certificates in two different names so a separate FIR will be filed against him.

Media, Rana Ayyub spread propaganda against Hindus: How Imran hitting Hindu LPG delivery man with chappal was turned into a case of ‘Islamophobia’

Propaganda handles like HindutvaWatch published the viral video of the incident. They wrote, “Location: Narsapur, Telangana. A Hindu far-right mob chanting “Jai Shri Ram” slogans brutally assaulted a Muslim hotel owner after he argued with a man over the delivery of a gas cylinder. During the assault, when his pregnant sister tried to intervene, she was also assaulted, resulting in miscarriage.”

Several social media handles cried Islamophobia over the incident.

It is pertinent to note that The New Minute shared the clip with the description of a Hindu ‘mob’ beating a Muslim man amidst chants of Jai Shree Ram, however, in their tweet text, did not bother to mention what led to it, giving the impression that the scuffle was a result of unilateral hate against Muslims, not the fact that it was

Imran beat up a Hindu LPG delivery man with Chappal

The incident whose video went viral on social media took place on May 7. However, it was picked by propaganda portals and social media handles on May 25. As per reports, on May 7, an LPG delivery man named Gurrala Lingam ‘Swami’, who was on Hanuman Mala (Deeksha), went to a Kalyani Biryani Point owner Imran’s house to deliver a cylinder. Imran was agitated as Lingam got a little late in delivering the cylinder. When Lingam asked for the empty cylinder, Imran’s mother refused to give it as there was a little bit of gas left in the old one and asked him to come after two days to pick it up.

Lingam informed them that as per the regulations, he must pick up the empty cylinder immediately after delivering the refilled one. He expressed his inability to delay the pickup. An altercation broke into Imran and Lingam following which Imran took a chappal (slipper) and hit Lingam with it. He allegedly abused him and used derogatory language against Hanuman Mala.

Aggrieved by the incident, Lingam informed his fellow Hanuman Mala devotees about the incident. Hindu organisations including RSS, Hindu Vahini and others learned about the incident and gathered outside Imran’s place. BJP councillor Rajendra Yadav was also present at the scene.

A scuffle between Imran and Hindu devotees broke during which Imran was beaten up. A complaint was filed by both sides at the Narsapur Police Station. In his complaint, Lingam said, “He attacked me with a slipper though I was wearing a Hanuman mala (chain). He even tried to attack me with an iron rod.” On the other hand, Imran claimed in his complaint that Lingam attacked him when he asked to pick empty cylinder after two days.

Based on Lingam’s complaint, the Narasapur police registered an FIR against Imran under Sections 504 (intentional insult), 324 (voluntarily hurt a person), and 295-A (outrage religious feelings) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Imran was arrested by the police and later let go on bail after three days.

The propaganda portals and social media handles claimed that Imran’s sister suffered a miscarriage due to manhandling by the Hindus. However, Narasapur has refuted the claims.

As per reports, Imran’s sister Ayesha Anjum gave birth to a child 13 days after the incident. The child died after three days due to respiratory problems at Niloufer Hospital. No complaint was filed by Imran’s family in this context.

Hanuman Mala

Ahead of the pilgrimage, Hindus wear the Hanuman Mala. During this period, they have to wear saffron clothes and refrain from indulging in any ‘sinful’ activities. Those who are observing the ritual are called “Swami”.

Libya: 23 Jihadis sentenced to death, 14 to life imprisonment for their participation in an ISIS attack

0

A Libyan court has sentenced 23 people to death and 14 others to life imprisonment for their participation in a fatal ISIL (ISIS) campaign that included killing a group of Egyptians and capturing the city of Sirte in 2015, Al Jazeera reported. 

One other person was sentenced to a 12-year prison, six were sentenced to 10 years, one received a five-year term, and six others received three-year sentences, according to a statement released by the attorney general’s office on Monday. The statement added that three persons passed away before trial and three others were acquitted. One of ISIL’s alleged bases outside of Iraq and Syria was Libya, and the organisation profited from the ensuing instability and fighting in the North African nation after a NATO-backed rebellion in 2011, according to Al Jazeera. 

The armed organisation attacked the opulent Corinthia Hotel in Tripoli in 2015, leaving nine people dead. Subsequently, the group kidnapped and beheaded scores of Egyptian Christians, whose killings were depicted in gory propaganda videos, Al Jazeera reported. 

The organisation took control of eastern Libya’s Benghazi, Derna, and Ajdabiya before seizing the key coastal city of Sirte and keeping it until late 2016 as it imposed a strict code of public morals supported by harsh penalties, Al Jazeera reported further. 

According to attorney Lotfi Mohaychem, the court condemned three youngsters to ten years in prison each. 

Mohaychem said, “As lawyers for the victims’ families, we see the verdict of the court as very satisfying and very just.” 

“The court sentenced those guilt was demonstrated and acquitted those against whom there was insufficient evidence,” he added. 

ISIL and other organisations took advantage of the anarchy that overtook Libya, following the 2011 uprising that ousted and ultimately murdered longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi. 

In the end, soldiers supporting the former Government of National Accord, which was backed by the United Nations, drove the group out of Sirte in December 2016. Two years later, Khalifa Haftar’s forces in the east reclaimed Derna. 

In Libyan jails, there are still hundreds of purported ex-ISIL combatants detained, many of whom are still awaiting trial, Al Jazeera reported.

According to police, the initial reports suggest that the girl’s head was attacked with a blunt object, which caused the skull to rupture.

WTC final: Ricky Ponting wants India to play Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav against Australia

0

Former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting wants Team India to play X-factor players like Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav in the final of the ICC World Test Championship against Australia if they want to have an advantage over their opponents.

In a recent episode of the ICC Review podcast, Ponting stated that his India playing XI for the WTC final will also contain Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, with Jadeja primarily serving as a batter at Number six and Suryakumar preceding Jadeja in the middle order. 

“If I was them [India], knowing the importance of this game – and you have to win this Test match – I would be going with Ishan Kishan in this game. He provides that little bit of X-factor that you need when you might be pushing for a win in a Test match. Obviously, if Rishabh Pant is fit, he is playing, and he provides that X-factor for India. But with him not being there, and this is no blot on Bharat whatsoever, but I think Kishan just provides that little bit more X-factor, who would do a good job with the gloves but can provide that really high-scoring run rate that is required in a one-off Test match to push for a win,” said Ponting as quoted by ESPNCricinfo.

“I would be going with as many X-factor players as I could and put some real pressure back on Australia,” added the Aussie great.

Kishan and Suryakumar are not Test regulars for India. While Kishan is yet to make his debut in the longer format, he was a part of India’s squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia this year. Suryakumar also played his only Test in this series, scoring eight runs at Nagpur, where Team India won.

However, both players have respectable first-class records. While Kishan has 2,985 runs in 48 matches at an average of 38.76, Suryakumar has 5,557 runs in 80 first-class games, averaging 44.45 runs per game. However, both of them are best known for being powerful short-format batters.

Ponting is also happy to see Ajinkya Rahane make his return to the Indian Test side after good performances in domestic cricket and the IPL.

Rahane, who was India’s Number five until he was dropped in the early months of 2022, had a successful domestic campaign (2022-23) and concluded as Mumbai’s top Ranji Trophy run-getter with 634 runs in seven matches at 57.63. In the most recent IPL, Rahane dazzled many observers with his aggressive stroke play as a top-order impact batter for Chennai Super Kings.

“Jinks (Rahane) has had an incredible IPL as well. It is funny, is not it, how IPL runs can now get you picked back into a Test match squad. Jinks has been on the outer for the last couple of years in Test cricket, but everyone saw how confident he looked and how well he played in the IPL and that was enough to get him back in,” said Ponting.

“He has been there and done it before in Test cricket. It was probably a bigger hurdle for him to climb to get back into playing really good T20 cricket than it is for him to go back and play good Test cricket. His make-up is much more suited to the Test game than it is to T20 cricket. He has rediscovered some confidence and if he does get picked, I won’t be surprised to see him get runs in that Test match.”

“He has always been a really high-quality player and we saw him even with his leadership qualities here in Australia, in that last series to turn things around,” Ponting concluded.

The 15-man Indian squad has three spin bowling all-rounders in Ashwin, Jadeja and Axar Patel. Despite Axar’s all-format consistency this year, Ponting expects India to go with Ashwin and Jadeja because of how the pitch works in the Oval, where the match will be played from June 7.

“I think they will pick Jadeja and Ashwin because Jadeja can hold that No. 6 batting spot. His batting has improved that much that they can pick him as a batter now that might just bowl a few overs if required. There is no doubt that Ashwin is a more skilled and better Test bowler than what Jadeja is, but if Jadeja can hold down that batting spot and then as the game goes on, getting into the fourth and fifth day, if it does start to turn, then you have got that really high-class second spin bowling option if required”, he added.

“Historically, the Oval pitch has been a very good batting wicket. It has generally offered something for the fast bowlers on day one, not a lot. But I have also played some games there where it has turned a lot. If it starts a little bit dry, it can turn a lot,” concluded Ponting.

Australia squad: Pat Cummins (c), Scott Boland, Alex Carey (wk), Cameron Green, Marcus Harris, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis (wk), Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Todd Murphy, Steve Smith (vc), Mitchell Starc and David Warner.

Standby players: Mitch Marsh and Matthew Renshaw.

India squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, KS Bharat (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj, Umesh Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat and Ishan Kishan (wk).

Standby players: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mukesh Kumar and Suryakumar Yadav.

Inspired by Bageshwar Dham Sarkar’s sermons, Rukhsana converts to Hinduism and marries her boyfriend Roshan Kunwar as per Hindu rituals

On Monday, a Muslim woman named Naushin Parveen aka Rukhsana willingly converted her religion from Islam to Hinduism in Bihar’s Vaishali district. After embracing Hinduism, Rukhsana named herself Rukmini and married her love Hindu boyfriend Roshan Kunwar in the Ardhanarishwar Mahadev Temple in the area as per Hindu rituals.

Bihar-Bageshwar-Dham-Sarkar-sermons-rukhsana-reverts-Hinduism-marries-Hindu-boyfriend

After performing Ghar Wapsi and subsequently marrying her Hindu boyfriend Roshan Kunwar, Rukhsana told the media that neither the reversion to Hinduism nor the interfaith marriage was forced on her. She said that she was the one who had proposed marriage to Roshan Kunwar. She further said that she reverted to Hinduism at her will as she was inspired by the sermons of Bageshwar Dham’s Mahant Dhirendra Krishna Shastri.

“I was from the Islam religion. But I liked Sanatan Dharma. Sanatan gives peace and respect to the women,” she said.

“I was inspired to embrace Sanatan Dharma after listening to the program of Baba Bageshwar, (which was held in Patna between 13th to 17th May.) I myself had proposed marriage to Roshan,” she added.

According to reports, Naushin Parveen aka Rukhsana, a resident of Muzaffarpur’s Gijans, met Roshan Kunwar, a resident of Jaipur’s Vaishali. Both had moved to Jaipur to study and were enrolled in the same college. Rukhsana and Roshan became friends but eventually fell in love. The love affair continued for four years before they decided to get married.

The duo decided to communicate their willingness to spend the rest of their lives together with their family members. Roshan managed to convince his family but Rukhsana’s family was dead against their relationship. At this point, Rukhsana also apprised her family about her decision to adopt Hinduism. She told them how she was inspired to adopt Sanatan Dharma after hearing the sermons of Bageshwar Baba. She told them that she was taking the decisions of her own independent volition.

Following this, the duo visited the temple’s priest and expressed their desire to get married. The Ardhanarishwar Mahadev Temple priest helped her perfume Ghar Wapsi by performing a purification ceremony and solemnized her marriage with Roshan Kunwar as per Hindu Vedic rituals and customs.

Bangladeshi Muslim woman meets Bageshwar Dham Sarkar, says she finds peace in Lord Rama’s name

Bageshwar Dham and its Mahant Dhirendra Krishna Shastri have been criticized by the Liberal and Islamist cabal several times for talking about Sanatan Dharma unabashedly. The people of the Muslim community have also been asked to stay away from the Mahant by Muslim clerics. Despite that, some of the Muslim community people are realizing the greatness of Sanatan Dharma stating that Mahant Dhirendra Krishna Shastri is a Godly person and Sanatan Dharma is pure and moral.

On Wednesday, May 24, a Muslim woman from Bangladesh arrived at the ‘Ram Katha’ event of Bageshwar Dham Sarkar in Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh, and said that she wanted to leave Islam and become part of the Hindu religion. She said that she believed in Lord Rama and that she found peace in chanting his name.

The woman, wearing a burqa, also said that she had been following the Mahant Dhirendra Krishna Shastri on YouTube for several months and wanted to meet him in person. On asking whether was she being pressurized to embrace Hinduism, the Muslim woman confirmed that she had legally come to India of her own will and that she wanted to become Sanatani.

A Muslim from West Bengal had earlier called Baba a Godly Man

This is not the first time when a Muslim girl has expressed the desire to be a part of Sanatan Dharma. Earlier, on May 13, a Muslim woman from the Malda region of West Bengal had attended Mahant Dhirendra Krishna Shastri’s event in Patna, Bihar, and had said that Dhirendra Shastri is a Godly man.

Pune: NCP worker Sujeet Kate abuses Bengaluru-based couple on Aundh road, arrested for sexual harassment, video viral

A 26-year-old man, allegedly a member of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), is accused of verbally abusing a Bengaluru-based couple and damaging their car in a frightening case of road rage that occurred on Aundh Road in the city of Pune, Maharashtra. The incident is said to have happened on Friday night and the accused person has been identified as Sujeet Satish Kate. 

According to the reports, Kate, who is pursuing PhD has been booked and arrested by the Police on Monday for creating a ruckus and cursing at the couple in the middle of the street.
