Lakhimpur Kheri: Priyanka Gandhi threatens to frame police officials in cases of molestation, kidnapping. Watch video

On the night of October 3, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi tried to enter Lakhimpur Kheri, where the Police detained her. Earlier that day, eight people, including three BJP workers, had died during a clash with protesting farmers. While UP Police was trying to detain the Congress leader, she threatened the officers that she would file cases of molestation and kidnapping against them.

Video of Gandhi went viral on social media platforms where she was seen threatening the Police. She said, “Are you forcing me to sit in this [pointing to the police vehicle]? Are you trying to kidnap me? This is your legal status? Are you getting it? Do not think that I do not understand.”

The Police officer said he would arrest her if she did not let them detain her. She said, “Arrest me. I will go happily with you.” It seems like she also alleged they were forcing her to sit in the vehicle. The Police officer said, “Who is forcing you? We are not.”

She replied, “You are pushing me. If you keep doing so, it will attract cases of assault, attempt to kidnap, kidnap, attempt to molest, attempt to harm. Are you getting me? I understand everything. Try to touch me.”

She further said, “Go and bring a warrant from your officers and leaders. Are you getting me? And do not bring women officers in front. Learn to talk to the women. Are you getting it?” The Police officer tried to tell her that in the cases where women are involved, the female police officers handle the case. She said, “There is law and order in this country. Maybe it is not there in your state. But it is there in the country.”

Another Police officer who looked senior tried to pacify the situation. However, Priyanka Gandhi continued threatening the police officials, “Don’t say please. You have pushed me and brought me here. You have forcefully brought me here. You do not have a right. Are you getting me? You have no right.”

What happened in Lakhimpur Kheri?

On October 3, eight people died after BJP workers were attacked by protesting ‘farmers’ at Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh. As per reports, a large group of alleged farmers had gathered in Lakhimpur Kheri to mark their protest against the three Agriculture laws enacted in September last year.

Deputy CM was scheduled to visit Lakhimpur Kheri. The protesters went violent and pelted stones at BJP’s convey. One of the cars allegedly hit the protestors, after which the protestors not only burnt two vehicles but also ambushed the people and reportedly beat one driver to death. Disturbing visuals had emerged of the incident that led to several speculations.

CM Yogi promised to take strict action against whoever was behind the incident. Heavy police force has been deployed in Lakhimpur Kheri to maintain law and order.

Controversy erupts in Punjab after CM Charanjit Singh Channi’s son Rhythmjit Singh attends an official meeting

Soon after being chosen as the new Chief Minister of Punjab, Charanjit Singh Channi has started allowing his son to attend official meetings, raising eyebrows. The CM allowed his son to sit in the room where an official meeting was being held in the presence of the DGP and other senior officials of Punjab on Thursday. This triggered a controversy in Punjab with pictures from the meeting showing Rhythmjit Singh, Charanjit Singh’s son, in the meeting held at the DGP office were circulated on social media.

According to experts, the presence of any member of the family of CM in an official meeting violates the Rules of Business of the state government. According to sources, it may also violate the Official Secrets Act supposed to protect the sensitive issues discussed during such meetings. Experts also said, “This is an unusual practice and not expected from a person holding such a high position. The bureaucrats posted to the CMO should have informed him about this. The presence of an unauthorised or a private person at such meetings is against the interest of the state. It is also against the oath taken by the CM.”

BJP Punjab President Ashwani Sharma called the incident unprecedented and unethical. He said “It is unfortunate that senior bureaucrats, well aware of rules and norms, allowed this error to happen,”

It is important to note that within 4 days of being the new Punjab Chief minister, Charanjit Singh Channi was summoned to Delhi two times to form a “consensus” cabinet, indicating that the Congress high command does not want to delegate powers to its Punjab unit or allow local leadership to take control.

Also, upon the formation of the new Punjab cabinet under Charanjit Singh Channi, Congress leader in charge of Punjab affairs Harish Rawat said, “Those who could not be made ministers today will be accommodated in government setup and organisation. This exercise has been done to bring in young faces and strike a social and regional balance.”

Eight dead after ‘protesting farmers’ attack BJP workers at Lakhimpur Kheri, UP Govt, police spring into action

Eight people have died after BJP workers were attacked by protesting ‘farmers’ at Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has called the incident unfortunate and said that the government is committed to bring to justice those responsible for the same. “Those responsible for the same will be dealt with strictly,” a statement by UP govt said. Further, the government has appealed to people to stay at home and not to get influenced by other people and maintain peace.

Disturbing visuals have emerged from Lakhimpur Kheri where some people, identified as ‘protesting farmers’, could be seen beating up people. ‘Farmers’ have claimed the incident took place after MoS A K Mishra’s son ‘deliberately’ ran the car over the ‘protesting farmers’.

It is not yet clear whether the persons being beaten up by protesting ‘farmers’ in the above video have succumbed to injuries.

In a slightly longer video, one can hear the ‘protesting farmers’ shouting and calling for violence against those believed to be BJP workers and asking bystanders to not record the video.

In another video, one can see the ‘farmer’ protestors urging the other protesting ‘farmers’ to overturn the car carrying BJP workers while hurling the choicest abuses.

Another video has emerged where one person, likely a BJP worker from the car that was overturned by ‘farmers’, can be seen beaten up by the mob. After seemingly beaten up the mob he could be heard admitting that he was sent by MoS Mishra to observe the situation, but the mob continues to get him to ‘confess’ he was sent to ‘run over the farmers’. However, in the above video, he pleads that he be spared and does not say what the mob wanted him to say. It is not yet clear whether the man being beaten up to death in the above viral video is this same man.

Speaking to news agency ANI, MoS A K Mishra said that stones were pelted on the vehicles of BJP workers by protesting ‘farmers’ after which the car overturned as the driver was hit by a stone. Two people came under the car and they died. Subsequently, the mob lynched the BJP workers. Three BJP workers were killed and their car was set on fire.

He said that his son, who is being accused of killing the ‘protesting farmers’ was not even present on the spot. He said that the convoy was attacked with sticks and swords. “If my son would have been there he would not have come out alive. They have killed people, damaged and set cars on fire,” he said. He further added that the BJP workers had come to receive guests when they were attacked with stones by the agitators.

As per media reports, Samyukta Kisan Morcha has claimed that one of the three farmers was allegedly shot dead by MoS Ajay Mishra Teni’s son, Ashish (Monu) Mishra while others were ‘run over’ by vehicles. As per media reports, two people were brought dead to the hospital while one person, identified as Tajinder Singh had sustained injuries. He is currently seriously injured.

Following the incident, the Uttar Pradesh government has sprung into action. ADG Law and Order Prashant Kumar has reached Lakhimpur Kheri to take stock of the situation.

A Pakistani smuggler was arrested at the Amritsar border in an operation carried out by the BSF battalion 144 and 6 kg of heroin was recovered from him. Six packets of heroin were recovered from the possession of the smuggler, identified as Kashi Ali.

“We have recovered 6 packets of heroin & arrested a Pakistani smuggler, Kashi Ali near border fencing in Rajatal, Amritsar, Punjab last night. The packets were kept in a bag having Pakistani marking,” informed Bhupinder Singh, DIG, BSF. Reportedly, the 6 packets contained around 6.3 kg of heroin, and it is estimated to be worth between ₹25 crore to ₹30 crore.

The smuggler Kashi Ali, son of Rehmat Ali, is a resident of Maniyana village in Pakistan.

Recently, 3000 kg of drugs were seized at the Mundra Port in Gujarat which suggested the involvement of Pakistan Nationals in the smuggling racket. News 18 Gujrati reported that the Pakistani drug smugglers were sending drugs to Iran which were handled at the Konarak port in Iran. Seven Iranian nationals were detained in the drug seizure, and one of the accused was a regular in drug smuggling with records of arrest in different countries. Satellite phones and other communication devices were also recovered in the process. The report also revealed that the smugglers would put the drugs in fishermen’s net and throw in the sea to save hoodwink the authorities.

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) also busted a huge trans-border drug racket in January and arrested the two Sri Lankan Tamil operatives who were identified as MMM Nawas and Mohamed Afnas. The operatives were caught in Chennai, where they were living by hiding their real identities. The NCB officials also seized 100 kg contraband valued at Rs 1,000 crore.

Man in viral selfie with Aryan Khan not NCB officer or employee, agency clarifies

A picture of a man taking selfie with Aryan Khan went viral on social media, giving rise to speculations that the man in the picture was a starstruck NCB official. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) clarified that the man in the picture with Aryan Khan was not an officer or employee of NCB.

The picture showed the man taking a selfie with Aryan Khan who was recently detained and then arrested by the NCB after a raid at a rave party. Since the picture looked like it was taken in the close quarters of an office, it led some people on social media to believe the man was an NCB official who was starstruck by Aryan Khan.

The users reacted to the picture saying “This NCB official seems to be quite happy to take selfie,”, “Why is NCB officer taking selfie with the druggist??” and made other such comments.

Aryan Khan, son of bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan, has been arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) after he was detained by the NCB during a raid conducted at a rave party. He was subsequently taken for a medical examination. The NCB has sought police remand as well.

Independent probe reveals over 3000 paedophile priests and members operated in Catholic Church in France since 1950

Independent probe reveals over 3000 paedophile priests and members operated in Catholic Church in France since 1950

An independent commission set up to uncover scandals and cases of child abuse in churches has estimated the presence of 2900 to 3200 paedophiles in Catholic Churches in France, reported Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Jean-Marc Sauve, who headed the Commission, emphasised that about 3000 paedophile priests and Church members had operated in the French Catholic Church since the year 1950. Sauve shared the information prior to the release of the official report to the AFP. Earlier in November, he had conceded that the handling of such cases had been faulty. The Commission, which was set up by the Conférence des Religieux et Religieuses en France (CORREF) and Bishops’ Conference of France (CEF) in 2018, tried to quantify the number of victims and sexual offenders.

The Commission’s report is about 2500 pages long and puts up a minimum estimate of paedophiles working in the Church since 1950. AFP reported that the Commission was constituted in the aftermath of sex scandals that broke in the French Catholic Church and other churches in the world. The Commission includes 22 members from various disciplines including law, medical, history, sociology, and theology.

While speaking about the matter, a Commission member and sociologist Philippe Portier remarked, “It’s not going to go easy on anyone”. Veronique Margron, the President of the CORREF conference, said, “I expect that we will be forced to confront this burden, as bleak as it is, so that we can then take the necessary measures”.

The President of Bishops’ Conference of France, Eric de Moulins-Beaufort, pointed out that the Commission report would highlight ‘significant’ and ‘frightening’ figures. At this point, it remains unclear as to how the Catholic Church will respond against the suspected paedophiles. Meanwhile, AFP added that criminal prosecution in such cases was highly unlikely.

New Zealand Catholic Church apologises to victims of abuse

Earlier in March, the Catholic Church of New Zealand had tendered an apology to the victims of abuse, including sexual abuse, within the church. Roman Catholic Archbishop of Wellington and Metropolitan of New Zealand, Cardinal John Dew apologised at the Royal Commission into Abuse and Care on behalf of the bishops and congregational leaders in New Zealand.

The Royal Commission into Abuse and Case was set up by New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in 2018 to inquire into and report on the responses of institutions to instances and allegations of historical abuse in state care and faith bases institutions between 1950 and 2000.

An interim report of the Commission released in December reportedly found up to a quarter of a million children, young people, and vulnerable adults were physically and sexually abused in the country’s faith-based and state care institutions from the 1960s to early 2000s. As per the Commission’s findings, the victims included children as young as nine months old who suffered years of abuse including rape and electric shock treatment by staff at psychiatric and state care facilities, clergy, and foster guardians.

Over enthusiastic West UP Congress Sevadal shared Rajasthan’s video as UP’s, gets schooled by UP Police

On October 3, the official Twitter account of West Uttar Pradesh Congress Sevadal shared a video in which an electric rickshaw carrying police officers turned and fell on a water-logged road. Suggesting the video was from Uttar Pradesh, they wrote, “The Uttar Pradesh Police would have drowned in CM Yogi Adityanath Ji’s development. Narrowly saved!!”

Misleading tweet by Uttar Pradesh Congress Sevadal showing incident of Congress-Ruled Rajasthan as UP’s

But there was a twist. The video was not from BJP-ruled poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, but it was from Congress-ruled Rajasthan. Uttar Pradesh Police’s Fact Check department took cognizance of the tweet and quoted it with the correct information. They said, “The viral video is from district Dausa, Rajasthan, and not from Uttar Pradesh. Please do not spread rumours by posting misleading without verification.” Interestingly, they also added a screenshot of the misleading tweet in case Congress’s handle decided to delete the Tweet.

What happened in Dausa, Rajasthan?

On October 1, it was reported by Hindi daily Dainik Bhaskar that police personnel were crossing the waterlogged road towards Kolana Jail. There was around 3-feet deep water due to a pit on the road where the rickshaw carrying the police officers got stuck and fell. Five police personnel riding the rikshaw fell in the water. Notably, only after a 40-minute long heavy shower, the roads in the area were waterlogged. Residents have blamed local administration and PWD for not preparing for the monsoon season that has resulted in such incidents.

The achieved version of the misleading tweet can be seen here.
