UP: Suhail arrested for kidnapping and assaulting a 15-year-old Hindu girl from the Dalit community in Baghpat

One Suhail has been arrested by police for allegedly kidnapping a 15-year-old Hindu girl from the Dalit community in Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat district. The accused has been booked under IPC Sections 363, 506, POCSO Act Section 7/8 and Section 3 (20(V)(a) of the SC-ST Act.

The case pertains to the Singhawali Ahir police station area in the Baghpat district. As per reports, the 15-year-old girl went missing last Wednesday (November 23) from her school at 08:30 AM. Following this, a complaint of kidnapping was registered at the local police station at 10:30 AM and the police started investigating the matter. The girl is the niece of the Bharatiya Janata Party District General Secretary.

As soon as the information about the kidnapping was received, officers from many police stations launched a search operation in the neighbouring woods, led by the Superintendent of Police. The dog squad was also called in to assist in the quest for the female student. After much searching, the police discovered her uniform and school bag in a neighbouring forest.

The search was intensified, and the girl was eventually found in a section of the forest at about 06:30 PM on November 23. Superintendent of Police Neeraj Kumar Jadaun stated that the missing girl was found safe and sound in the jungle at about 6.30 PM. According to the SP, the girl student was taken to a local hospital for a medical assessment. The SP awarded a Rs 25,000 prize and citation to the police team in charge of the matter.

The accused was arrested from the spot by the police. Later, he was identified as Suhail son of Abbas resident of Singhawali Ahir village in Baghpat. He was booked for kidnapping the girl (IPC Section 363), attempting to outrage the modesty of a woman (IPC Section 506), and sexually exploiting a minor girl (POCSO Act) and relevant sections of the SC-ST Act. The accused is now in police custody and further action is now being taken by the authorities.

Mangaluru: 3 persons named Khalib, Dr Jameela and Aiman booked for forcing a Hindu woman to convert to Islam

According to reports, three people, including a woman doctor, were charged in Mangaluru under the Karnataka Protection of Right to Freedom of Religion Bill, 2022, for allegedly attempting to convert a girl to Islam against her will.

The police filed an FIR after receiving a complaint from the 20-year-old victim’s mother, who stated that she used to work at New Fans Bazar in Bikarnakatte and used to recharge her phone at a shop owned by one Khalib in Kaikamba.

Khalib ultimately befriended the victim, and offered her a better job and compensation. According to the girl’s allegations, he took her to his relative’s house in Kallapu on January 14, 2021, where she was introduced to a woman who compelled her to perform namaz and read the Quran. She alleged they tried to convert her to Islam by force. The woman has also accused Khalib of assaulting her after taking her to the home of a relative.

According to the complaint, the victim, who is a resident of Mangaluru, was given a burqa, was told to change her name to Ayisha, and was threatened to convert to Islam. On January 17, 2021, the victim came home and concealed the incident from her family for fear of negative consequences.

She worked in a house for eight months before being hired by a woman named Rukiya at another residence in Kasargod. She was employed there for seven months. While she was working there, a coworker named Sainaz offered her a position at the home of Dr Jameela and her husband Dr Sayyed, as per the complaint.

The complainant said that while working at their house, Jameela coerced her into donning a burqa and presenting herself as a Muslim woman. In October, she announced her resignation from her job, claiming she had mental health problems. In the meanwhile, the woman received a message from a man from Bhadravathi named Aiman who urged her to start dating him. She had travelled to Bhadravathi to meet him.

The complainant has requested that the police investigate Khalib, Dr Jameela, Aiman, and Khalib’s relatives for allegedly pushing her to convert to Islam. Sections 3 and 5 of the Karnataka Protection of Right to Freedom of Religion Ordinance 2022, as well as sections 354, 354(A), and 506 of the IPC, are all being used by the police to prosecute all the cases.

Meet Lotta Volkova – The alleged brains behind the controversial shoot of luxury brand Balenciaga

Meet Lotta Volkova – The alleged brains behind the controversial shoot of luxury brand Balenciaga

The luxury brand Balenciaga is facing a lot of criticism for its disturbing portrayal of children for its Spring/Summer 2023 Collection. The brand recently published pictures of two pre-pubescent girls with bondage gear, reminding people of ‘BDSM’. The children were shown posing with teddy bears, which were dressed in fishnet tops, leather harnesses, and collars with locks. Reportedly, one of the disturbing images also contained documents from a child abuse case.

The photographer who shot the photographs is getting all the heat from the public, but the real brain behind the shoot is someone else. As per a Twitter user who goes by the handle curioslight, the person behind the shoot is Lotta Volkova, who has been a stylist with Balenciaga since 2014. Gabriele Galimberti, the photographer who shot the collection, claimed in his statement that he was being targeted despite the fact that he had no creative control over the project.

Galimberti said, “I must stress that I was not entitled in whatsoever manner to choose the products or the models. As a photographer, I was only and solely requested to light the given scene and take the shots according to my signature style.” Calling the reaction of the public a form of “lynching”, he claimed he was being accused of being a pedophile on his social media accounts.

Galimberti categorically denied being part of the controversial shoot, and he named an American Photographer, Chris Maggio, to be the man behind that shoot.

Speaking about Chris, Curioslight said that they stumbled upon a photo shoot where the girl looked similar to the one in Balenciaga’s shoot. At first, it was thought to be the same child model, but later it was found that the resemblance was because of the similar style. The shoot was done for a magazine named Double, and Lotta Volkova did the styling.

This is when the can of worms full of controversial and problematic social media posts around the not-so-hidden world of the fashion industry got opened. The Twitter user went through the now-private account of the stylist and found that Volkova has been posting a lot of posts revolving around children. She has worked extensively with brands like Vogue, Adidas, Balenciaga, Chanel, Jean Paul Gaultier, and many others.

Curioslight highlighted how Volkova tagged Gosha Rubchinskiy in one of her posts which had a scene from the horror movie The Shining.

Gosha Rubchinskiy is a fashion designer who got into a controversy in 2019 after his inappropriate chats with a minor boy surfaced that year.

curioslight mentioned that the posts by Lotta from 2015 had visibly young boys. “She has, just like Gosha, an interest in really young-looking boys, it’s really hard to guess their ages, some, I would say, look no more than 13. I could be wrong but have a look at her insta and campaigns,” the twitter user said.

Furthermore, it was revealed how Lotta “liked” the photographs depicting children either in distress, bondage, and images of similar nature.

Some of the posts were even liked and commented on by American fashion designer Marc Jacobs. One of the posts from 2019, which had a little girl with fake blonde hair lying down and smiling, had Jacobs comment saying, “So good”. The Twitter user said, “I found these below incredibly disturbing, and look who’s commenting on the girl that is laying down. Marc Jacobs himself. This rabbit hole I went on took me from a #BalenciagaGate to #FashionGate.” Jacobs is a very popular name in the fashion industry.

The Twitter user also highlighted Lotta’s obsession with teddy bears. In one of the screenshots, the teddy bear was in a “compromised” position.

In another post from 2015, the teddy bear was in bondage, and that post had a comment by Gosha Rubchinskiy.

Further, in the tweets, the user shared screenshots of Volkova’s Instagram account revolving around BDSM. Her obsession with BDSM was visible in her work too, even for high-profile brands like Chanel.

In the next tweet, Curioslight highlighted she posted an image in 2018 with the hashtag Moloch, an ancient pagan God, and people used to sacrifice children to please him.

Interestingly, another user that goes by the handle Xx17965797N pointed out that Balenciaga allegedly also sells fake babies covered in blood.

Another user pointed out that the video was from a fashion show by Balenciaga.

Curioslight also highlighted that Volkova worked with Terry Richardson in 2015. Richardson has been accused of sexual misconduct by several young models. He was also accused of being a pedophile which he had categorically denied on several occasions.

It is evident that the alleged rot in the fashion industry is not limited to a few high-end brands, and a deeper cleanup is required to ensure children’s safety.

Advocate Vineet Jindal files complaint against Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid for calling genocide of Hindu community in Kashmir as ‘vulgar propaganda’

Advocate Vineet Jindal files complaint against Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid for calling genocide of Hindu community in Kashmir as ‘vulgar propaganda’

On November 29, Advocate Vineet Jindal filed a complaint against Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid for calling the genocide of the Hindu Community in Kashmir as ‘vulgar propaganda’. In his complaint to DGP Goa, Jindal said he was filing a complaint against the filmmaker for his comments against the film The Kashmir Files that he made during the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) that was held between November 20 and November 28.

Nadav called filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri’s film The Kashmir Files “vulgar” and “propaganda”. He further claimed that all the jury members were “shocked and disturbed” as the film was added as one of the participants in the international film competition. He had said, “We were, all of us, disturbed and shocked by the 15th film, The Kashmir Files. That felt to us like a propaganda, vulgar movie, inappropriate for an artistic competitive section of such a prestigious film festival.”

In his complaint, Jindal said, “The statement given by Nadav is totally manipulated and with ill intention towards the Hindu Community in the garb of targeting movie Kashmir files which is more clear when one of the jury members AT IFFI Sudipto Sen through his Twitter account said that “it completely in a personal capacity- nothing to do with the esteemed jury board”. Sen’s remarks came after Nadav faced severe backlash not only from netizens but also from the film fraternity of India. Israeli diplomats have also reacted to his statements.

Jindal added, “The statement of Sudipito Sen shows that no such statement has been approved or discussed upon Kashmir Files between jury members at IFFI, but Nadav must have some hidden agenda in his mind against Hindu Community which came out during his closing speech in IFFI.”

He said, “The film Kashmir Files is based on the exodus and killings of Kashmiri Pandits in the valley in the 1990s by Islamic terrorists. By calling a movie based on a true story of the Hindu Genocide by Islamic terrorists that happened in Kashmir as ‘propaganda’ and ‘vulgar’, he is abusing the sacrifice of Hindus in Kashmir and targeting the Hindu community by using derogatory words Vulgar and Propaganda upon Hindu killings just to incite hatred in our country. The contents of the statement made by him clearly show his intent of instigating enmity between groups.”

Jindal said being a social activist and Hindu by religion, Nadav’s statement has deeply hurt his religious sentiments. He requested the DGP to file a case against Nadav under Sections 121, 153, 153A, 153B,  295, 298 and 505 of the Indian Penal Code. He said, “Nadav Lapid, by making above cited statement has committed offences u/s 121,153,153 A &B, 295,298 and 505 of IPC which are cognizable offences and very serious in nature. The complainant requests you to lodge FIR against him under the above-said section and take strict legal action against him so he can not dare to make such kind of Hateful and disturbing comments again in future.”

Speaking to OpIndia, Jindal said, “The way the Israeli director has commented on The Kashmir Files and called the content of the film ‘vulgar’ and ‘propaganda’ [is hurtful]. The genocide of the Kashmiri Hindus in the valley is our community’s sacrifice. Calling the pain we suffered and things we witnessed in the valley ‘vulgar’ and ‘propaganda’ has hurt our sentiments. This is why I have filed a complaint against the filmmaker to Goa’s DGP and requested him to book the filmmaker under appropriate Sections of the IPC. I feel the statement given by Nadav was planned. Hence, it is crucial to investigate the matter. He said it was a collective statement of the jury to call the film ‘propaganda’ and ‘vulgar’, but a jury member dismissed his claims and said no such discussion happened among the jury members. It appears the filmmaker came with a motive and gave the controversial statement at the closing ceremony of the event.”

Uddhav Thackeray Shiv Sena’s out-on-bail Sanjay Raut opens his mouth again, says more pandits killed after release of Kashmir Files than by Islamists in 90s

Uddhav Thackeray Shiv Sena’s out-on-bail Sanjay Raut opens his mouth again, says more pandits killed after release of Kashmir Files than by Islamists in 90s

Uddhav Thackeray Shiv Sena’s Sanjay Raut, recently released from jail on bail, has opened his mouth against and waded into the controversy stirred after Israeli filmmaker and Palestinian sympathiser, Nadav Lapid, called the Kashmir Files movie by Vivek Agnihotri a “propaganda” movie.

On November 29, an Israeli filmmaker and International Film Festival of India (IFFI) jury chairman Nadav Lapid called filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri’s film ‘The Kashmir Files’ “vulgar” and “propaganda”. During his closing remarks at the festival, he said he was “shocked” and “disturbed” by the inclusion of the film in the competition section. The 53rd edition of IFFI was held in Goa between November 20 and November 28.

When asked about the comments made by Lapid, who was once accused of hating his own motherland, Israel, Sanjay Raut said that he agreed with the comments made by the IFFI jury chairman. Commenting on Kashmir Files, Sanjay Raut claimed that there were more Kashmiri Hindus who were murdered after the release of the movie Kashmir Files than ever before – essentially insinuating that more Hindus were killed in Kashmir after the movie was released than by Islamists in the 1990s.

It is pertinent to note that while Sanjay Raut has agreed with Lapid and blamed the movie for the killings of Hindus instead of Islamists, the Israeli Ambassador to India apologised for the remarks by Nadav Lapid and said, in an open letter, that he was ashamed of the comments made denying the genocide of Hindus in Kashmir.

“It’s true about #KashmirFiles if some jury member said it. There was propaganda by one party against another. A party Govt, wherever there was a BJP govt, was busy with publicity. But maximum number of killings in Kashmir occurred after this film. You must have seen, Kashmir Pandits, security personnel were killed. Where were these Kashmir Files people then? This anger was displayed by the orphaned children of Kashmiri Pandits also, where were they then? Nobody came forward then, nor were there plans for a Kashmir Files 2.0 – make that too”, Sanjay Raut said.

Interestingly, when asked about the word “vulgar” used for the film by the Lapid, Sanjay Raut said that he had not watched the movie.

The video of the comments made by Sanjay Raut was posted by Zee Marathi. The same video that was posted by ABP Manjha was soon made private, so people could not access it.

Sanjay Raut has been against the movie Kashmir Files by Vivek Agnihotri, which shows the genocide and exodus of Kashmiri Hindus by Islamists in the 1990s, since its very release. After the movie’s release, Raut had taken to Saamna, the Shiv Sena’s official mouthpiece, to allege that the movie was being promoted by BJP with an eye on the Gujarat and Rajasthan Assembly Elections. He had also branded Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the chief promoter of the movie.

In March 2022, a Saamna editorial had gone as far as to brand the Kashmir Files a “fake narrative” that was created by the BJP. The editorial piece in Saamana highlighted how Congress is unable to fight ‘fake narratives’ created by the BJP. It pointed out that Congress should employ innovative methods to counter the narratives the BJP allegedly creates through movies like The Kashmir Files and through the hijab issue.

For the first time in over three decades, an honest attempt in the form of ‘The Kashmir Files’ brought to the silver screen the trials and tribulations faced by the minority Kashmiri Pandits in the Muslim-majority Jammu and Kashmir. This had, predictably, raised the hackles of the left-liberal intelligentsia, who has for years engaged in the pursuit of whitewashing Islamic terrorism and pinning the blame of the exodus on the policies implemented by New Delhi. After the release of the movie, several Left-Liberals blamed the movie for targeted killings of Hindus in the valley, saying that it had angered the Muslim population against the Hindus. What the Left-Liberals had said then and what Sanjay Raut seems to be saying now is that Hindus would only inspire more attacks against themselves if they dare to talk about their own persecution and therefore, it is the vocal Hindu who should be blamed when Islamists murder them out of sheer religious hatred.

The liberals, including politicians like Sanjay Raut, blamed Kashmir Files for the killings of Hindus because firstly, they need to discredit any attempt to create awareness about a Hindu genocide and secondly, because they are incapable of talking about the real cause of Hindus being murdered in the valley – Islamic terrorism. While the liberals seem to be incapable of talking about Islamic terrorism either because they align with the supremacist ideology against Hindus, a common enemy, politicians like Raut seem to be shielding the Islamists simply because their political survival depends on the Muslim vote bloc, with Hindus electorally abandoning parties like Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena faction and politicians like himself.

The 1990s in Kashmir saw an onslaught of Islamic barbarity against Hindus. Kashmir Files depicts several such brutal murders and rapes from the 1990s. For example, the movie depicts the brutality heaped upon Girija Tickoo when she was murdered. On the 4th of June 1990, Girija came to the valley to collect her salary and met her local Muslim colleague at her home. She was not aware that Jihadi terrorists were tracking her movement. Girija was kidnapped from her colleague’s home and was taken to an unknown location. Everyone, including her colleague and people in the locality, watched her being taken silently. After a few days of the kidnapping, her dead body was found on the roadside in horrible condition. The autopsy revealed she was brutally gang-raped and tortured. Girija was cut into two pieces using a mechanical saw while she was still alive, right from the middle of her body. Her family still awaits justice, just like the hundreds and thousands of other Kashmiri Pandits whose suffering has been deemed as ‘propaganda’ by the ‘liberal’ section of the media and society.

One of the most heart-wrenching scenes of the film directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri is where a woman is force-fed rice soaked in her husband’s blood. This is the recreation of a brutal murder from 1990 when terrorists had come searching for engineer BK Ganjoo, who had hidden in a rice barrel. He would have been alive today had his location not been disclosed to the terrorists by his own neighbours. He was shot dead by the terrorists who fired multiple rounds at the rice barrel allowing the blood to drip out of the container. The rice soaked in the blood was then forcefully fed to Ganjoo’s wife.

With the movie depicting such cases of violence against Hindus, Sanjay Raut endorsing the views of Nadav Lapid and saying that more killings took place in Kashmir after the release of the movie, only means that blames Hindus for their persecution simply because they dared to narrate tales of their genocide.

Jharkhand: Clerics ban dance, music, and fireworks in Muslim weddings, call weddings after 11 pm wrong

On November 28, a group of Muslim clerics announced a ban on dancing, playing loud music and display of fireworks during Islamic weddings in the Nirsa block of district Dhanbad, Jharkhand. According to the clerics, such practices are un-Islamic, and anyone violating the ban would be fined.

Sibilibadi Jama Masjid’s head Imam Maulana Masud Akhtar said in a statement that the ban would begin from December 2. He said, “We unanimously decided that Nikah (marriage) would be solemnised according to Islamic religion and there would be no dance, DJ music playing and fireworks display. Those who will violate the order will be fined Rs 5,100.”

He added, “Such practices are not permitted in Islam. These also cause inconvenience to people.” Akhtar chaired the meeting during which the decision to ban such practices was announced. Furthermore, it was decided that the marriage has to be solemnised before 11 PM as the time after that is not considered “auspicious”. He said, “If anyone tries to perform the Nikah after 11 PM will also be slapped with a fine. The violator of the norm will have to tender a written apology too.”

Previous diktats against music and celebrations

This is not the first time Muslim clerics have banned celebrations during Nikah. In June 2021, a committee of village clerics and scholars of Raz -e-Muhammad Mustafa of Khempur village at Swar Tehsil in Rampur district, Uttar Pradesh, announced that a Nikah would not be solemnised if the ceremonies include fireworks, DJ, dance and dowry. The resolution was adopted during the committee’s meeting. They announced after the Friday prayers to inform the Muslims in the area.

In March 2021, it was reported that a fatwa was issued by a senior mufti of the Dargah-e-Ala Hazrat in Bareilly, which said that it was against Shariat for males and females to eat food together at weddings. The fatwa said that organisers should maintain a difference between mahram (close relatives) and non-mahrams. It also noted that DJs, music, dance and fireworks during wedding ceremonies are un-Islamic.

In April 2021, Markazi Sunni Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, Mirzapur, announced that they would not solemnise Muslim marriages of music, dance and DJ were part of the ceremonies as they are un-Islamic. The body also restrained Muslims from demanding dowry. Mufti Abdul Khalik said, “A movement has started in Mirzapur against dowry seekers and those who eat while standing up.”

Elon Musk prepared to go to ‘war’ with Apple after iPhone maker allegedly threatens to remove Twitter from its App Store

Elon Musk prepared to go to ‘war’ with Apple after iPhone maker allegedly threatens to remove Twitter from its App Store

On November 28 (local time), billionaire and Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk lashed out at Apple for the App Store policies and tax rules. Musk accused the iPhone maker of blocking ads on Twitter without specifying why. Furthermore, Musk added that the company was pressuring Twitter over demands related to content moderation. He asked Apple if the company was against “free speech” in America. He tagged Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, and asked what was going on.

The reasons behind the alleged threats to Twitter by Apple to “withhold” from the App Store are unclear. Musk said, “Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why.”

However, Musk’s tweets indicate that the social media platform’s new moderation policy leaning towards “safeguarding free speech” could be the reason behind it. Musk also ran a poll asking Twitter users if Apple should publish all censorship actions it has taken that affect its customers.

In Another tweet, Musk said the “free speech suppression” that happened on Twitter should be published on Twitter itself as the public deserves to know what had happened.

Furthermore, there is no official statement from Apple stating why Apple stopped ads on Twitter. In a report, Reuters pointed out that between November 10 to November 16, Apple had spent $131,600 on Twitter ads. However, it was close to doubling between October 16 and October 20 at $220,800, a week before Musk closed the deal with Twitter at $44 billion and made it private.

This is not the first time Apple has removed a social media platform from App Store. Earlier, Parler, an alternative to Twitter, was removed from Apple’s App Store over content moderation following the US Capitol riots in January 2021. Later, in May 2021, the app was restored to App Store after Parler updated the content moderation policies. Similarly, another app Lbry was asked by Apple to “filter some search terms”.

When Musk asked Lbry about the terms they were referring to, it said, “Apple disallowed almost anything related to Covid, especially vaccines or human origins of the virus. We had to build a list of over 20 terms to not show results for, only on Apple devices. Apple also later rejected us because users included Pepe images in videos.” Musk expressed his shock and said, “Secret suppression of free speech by Apple. Customers were never told. What the hell is going on here?”

Musk expressed his dismay over the fee charged by Apple on in-app purchases, which currently stands at 30 per cent. Twitter is working on a worldwide rollout of Twitter subscriptions at $8. Apple would take a 30 per cent cut from all such subscriptions every month. In a tweet, Musk said, “Did you know Apple puts a secret 30% tax on everything you buy through their App Store.”

In a now-deleted tweet, Musk hinted that he would go to war with Apple rather than pay them the hefty fee.

Sam Brinton, drag queen ‘nuclear scientist’ in the US Dept of Energy caught stealing woman’s luggage from airport, charged with felony theft

Sam Brinton, a senior official in the Department of Energy under the Biden administration who is reportedly a ‘non-binary transvestite’ has been caught stealing a woman’s luggage at an airport in Minnesota. As per reports, Brinton faces up to 10,000 USD in fines and 5 years in prison. The US Department of Energy has refused to comment on the issue.

Brinton was appointed as the Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the US Department of Energy earlier this year.

As per reports, the stealing incident happened in September and Brinton was charged in October after a police investigation. Brinton had reportedly not checked in any luggage, but still went to the baggage carousel and took a woman’s expensive branded roller bag, full of her clothes and personal items, and went to a hotel.

On September 16, a woman passenger alerted authorities at the Minneapolis St Paul International Airport about her missing baggage. She had boarded a Delta flight from New Orleans and when she went to collect her baggage at the carousel, it was missing.

As per reports, the officials at the MSP airport confirmed that her baggage had arrived, but had gone missing from carousel 7. CCTV footage showed Sam Brinton removing the woman’s blue Vera Bradley designer roller bag from the carousel. Brinton was seen on camera removing the baggage tag, placing it into his handbag and leaving the airport quickly.

Brinton was tracked by the investigating authorities. He had taken a cab to a hotel, had stayed there and had left for Washington DC later. He had even gone on a trip to Europe taking the bag. On October 9, when Brinton was called by the police and asked about the bag, he replied that he may have taken the wrong bag, but the clothes inside were his.

He then called the police back 2 hours later and apologised for ‘not being completely honest’. He then claimed that he had taken the bag because he thought it was his.

The woman victim had stated in the complaint that the clothes and personal items inside the bag were worth around $2325.

Brinton had claimed that he had left the clothes at the hotel room and had left with only the bag, but no clothes were recovered from the hotel and despite providing instructions on how to return the bag to the victim, the victim had not received the bag from Brinton until October 27.

Brinton is now scheduled to appear in court on December 29 in Hennepin County. Brinton is reportedly on official leave and his lawyers have not responded to US media calls for a statement.

Brinton, an MIT grad, used to conduct a workshop called ‘Kink 101’ on college campuses and worked as an ‘anti-conversion therapy activist’. He is also a member of a drag queen society called ‘Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence’ which mocks catholic nuns with sexually explicit innuendoes. Brinton goes by the drag name of ‘Sister Ray Dee O’Active’ in drag shows, as per a report by The National Pulse.

‘No regret even if hanged, will get hoors in Jannat,’ says Shraddha’s killer Aftab during polygraph test, report says

As per a police source quoted by Dainik Jagran, Aftab Amin Poonawalla, the prime accused in Shraddha Walkar murder case has made stunning revelations during the polygraph test.

According to the police official, he has stated that even if he is hanged for the murder of Shraddha, he would not be sorry since he will be remembered as a hero when he enters paradise and will be offered ‘Hoors’ in ‘Jannat.’ Aftab also admitted to having affairs with over 20 Hindu girls during his relationship with Shraddha. Aftab’s radical worldview was reportedly on display in his police statement during the polygraph test.

The police officer said that Aftab made these revelations following the questioning. He said that he had used the Bumble app to target Hindu women and lure them into a trap. After murdering Shraddha, Aftab had also invited a psychologist to his apartment. She was also a Hindu woman. He admitted to having given her a ring which belonged to Shraddha, in a bid to lure her into relationship. He also interacted with a number of other Hindu girls.

He said he didn’t feel bad about killing Shraddha and mutilating her body. After the questioning, he used to fall asleep easily. He allegedly told police that his plan was to kill Shraddha and slice her up in Mumbai itself.

According to the police officer, Aftab confessed some stunning truths during the polygraph examination. The police seek to establish these findings following the narco test. The information provided by Aftab during the polygraph is very helpful to the investigation. After the test, five knives were found in his residence. In addition, it’s anticipated that further proof will be acquired soon.

Polygraph test of Aftab

Aftab has recently undergone a polygraph test at the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), Rohini in New Delhi. The reports of the test are yet to be released. 

A Delhi court ordered the police to complete the narco-analysis test within five days and warned them not to use any third-degree measures. The polygraph examination will be followed by the narco test. Notably, Aftab has consented to a narco test. Notably, during the police interrogation, Aftab gave contradictory statements, prompting Delhi Police to conduct the narco test. The Delhi Police approached the court and sought permission to conduct the narco test. 

Shraddha murder case

On November 14, the Delhi Police solved the six-month-old murder case and arrested Aftab Amin Poonawala over allegations of murdering his live-in partner, and then chopping her into 35 pieces. Aftab executed the murder on May 18 and stored her body parts in the refrigerator. He then disposed of the body pieces in Delhi’s Mehrauli forest during the next 18 days. Aftab was arrested based on the complaint filed by Shraddha Walkar’s father on November 10. 

The accused has been arrested and a case under IPC section 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of an offence committed) have been registered. Further investigations into the case are underway.

Deputy Commissioner exposes lies by AAP and Arvind Kejriwal, says no stone was pelted during the Surat roadshow: Details

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone-3), Pinakin Parmar has denied the allegations levelled by Arvind Kejriwal that there were stones pelted during his Surat rally. This allegation was levelled by Aam Aadmi Party during his roadshow on Monday in Gujarat’s Surat.

Reportedly, during the roadshow, a scuffle broke out between BJP and AAP workers. While Arvind Kejriwal’s roadshow was crossing through Katargam locality of Surat, BJP workers chanted “Modi Modi”. Speaking to India Today/AajTak, AAP candidate Alpesh Kathiriya alleged that the stone was thrown by BJP workers. “While people are showing flowers at Kejriwal, BJP goons are throwing stones,” Kathiriya said.

“When we were moving, their (apparently referring to BJP) supporters threw a stone at us. I was thinking had they done any work in the last 27 years they would not have needed to throw stones. I would like to tell them it is Kejriwal only who will waive their electricity bills, teach your children, and offer you flowers in place of stones,” the AAP national convener said. “AAP is the party of ‘shareef’ (decent), patriots, and honest people. I am an educated person and will build schools for you. If you have to indulge in abusing others then go with them,” he said.

Taking the opportunity, Arvind Kejriwal proceeded to play victim. Kejriwal said, “They will break my eye. Have I done someone wrong? I say that I will build schools and hospitals. Show me the works done by you, do not abuse”.

The Surat police, however, said that the rally was conducted without incident and there was no stone pelting, as alleged by AAP.

Pinakin Parmar, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone-3) said that Arvind Kejriwal was given Z+ security during the rally. “The rally passed off peacefully. No incident of throwing of stones took place. A minor scuffle broke out between party workers but the police controlled the situation”, he said.

Arvind Kejriwal gets support of “Muslim Fighters Club”

Ahmedabad’s Juhapura based ‘Muslim Fighters Club’ organised a meeting on Sunday, November 27, 2022, a week before the polls, where about 3,000 Muslim families pledged their allegiance to the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party. In presence of a Maulana who recited Islamic verses and amid ‘Naara-e-Takbeer, Allahu Akbar’ chants, ‘Muslim Fighters Club’ extended their support to Arvind Kejriwal.

‘Muslim Fighters Club’ also coined two slogans for AAP. “Haath ma jhaadu leelu leelu, AAP-Muslim ilu-ilu’ which loosely translates to green broom (AAP election symbol) in our hands, AAP and Muslims have ilu-ilu (ilu is often used for I-Love-You) and ‘Vote for MAGI’ where MAGI stands for Manish Sisodia (M), Arvind Kejriwal (A), Gopal Italia (G) and Isudan Gadhvi (I). 

The Muslim community that had gathered there also accused Congress of taking advantage of Muslims. Imranbhai, who runs the club, claimed that the Muslim community has always been the victim of hate and only Kejriwal is the true well-wisher of Muslims. I have spoken to our Muslim brothers in Delhi and they have said their situation has improved. Arvind Kejriwal takes care of Muslims from every part of the world. He even takes care of Muslim refugees, he said. He said that he will not specify which ‘refugees’ he means, but asked the Muslims present in the audience to make calculated guesses.
