Uttarakhand: Muslim mob comes out onto the streets in hotspot Balbhoonpoora to prevent authorities from quarantining an Imam

A Muslim mob came out onto the streets at Balbhoonpura in Haldwani, Uttarakhand after a team of the health department had visited the area in order to quarantine an Imam. Hundreds of Muslims came out onto the streets to prevent the Islamic cleric from being quarantined. Some others were also to be quarantined. So far, 15 people in the area have been confirmed to have tested positive for the Wuhan Coronavirus, which includes 8 persons who had attended the Tablighi Jamaat in Delhi. The Imam and 14 other persons had come into contact with those COVID-19 patients, and that’s why they are needed to be quarantined and tested.

It is also reported that a rumour was circulated among the people that the Police had misbehaved with certain individuals and within minutes, the rumour had spread widely among the local Muslim population. Consequently, they came out onto the streets. Hundreds and thousands of people came out onto the streets in protest. Fourteen other people apart from the Imam had to be quarantined but the Muslim mob did not consent to the Imam being quarantined. The Imam is believed to have come in contact with the people from in Balbhoonpura who had tested positive for the Wuhan Coronavirus.

As per News18 Uttar Pradesh, the people could not be quarantined as of the time of their report. The Police were taking help of local Islamic clerics and politicians in order to curb the menace. The SDM of the area told the news channel that people were being screened for the Wuhan Coronavirus when a misconception spread that they were being targeted. He said that some Maulvis and Maulanas were being screened, as a consequence of which, matters escalated. However, he ensured that the situation has been brought under control and the people have been sent home.

The Muslim mob had taken over the entire road in Balbhoonpura and completely surrounded the Police and the medical team which had visited the area. Ultimately, appeals had to be made through Islamic clerics to bring the mob under control. The help of Muslim politicians in the area also had to be sought. The mob was also raising slogans against the Police. It is also reported that a lot of people associated with the Tablighi Jamaat and the Deobandi School of Islam live in the area. The SDM also said that the sentiments of the people had to be respected and therefore, efforts were being made to quarantine the COVID-19 suspects after consultation with the community.

Banbhoonpura in Haldwani has emerged as a hotspot for the Wuhan Coronavirus after seven people associated with the Tablighi Jamaat tested positive for the Wuhan Coronavirus in the area. It was mandated that not even a single shop would open in the area. 17 people were quarantined within 12 hours as well. However, given the events of today, the efforts of the administration have been severely jeopardized. Quite obviously, no social distancing measures were followed by the mob. Given the highly contagious nature of the virus, the fallout of today’s event remains to be seen.

Enterprising Gujarati man uses drone to deliver ‘paan masala’ during coronavirus lockdown, police books two

As restrictions have been imposed over non-essential goods across the country due to the nationwide Coronavirus lockdown, several people are struggling as their lives have come to a standstill. However, addicts across the country are leaving no stone unturned to procure non-essential items like Gutka, tobacco, cigarettes and alcohol. One of the tool being used for the delivery of such items is the drone, which is one of the latest gadgets that have become popular.

A similar incident came to light from Gujarat’s Morbi area where a drone was used to deliver paan masala to homes. A video of the incident was also uploaded on social media app TikTok, reports DeshGujarat.

Reportedly, a young man named Hiren Patel managed to fly a drone with packets of tobacco in Morbi near Rajkot during the ongoing lockdown. Patel had shared the video on TikTok. As the video went viral, the Rajkot police detained Patel and his friend Ravi, the owner of the drone.

In the video, packets of Paan Masala can be seen dangling from the drone as it flies over houses, while a man on a terrace waits to receive the delivery.

The police have imitated a probe against the two people under the Epidemic Act. Both Hiren and Ravi have been booked under IPC section 188. The drone worth Rs 25,000 have also been seized.

Similar incidents of using drones to deliver non-essential goods have been witnessed across the world following the lockdown due to the Chinese pandemic. In South Africa, a man, similar to Hiren Patel, has put his drone to use for alcohol drops to customers.

In Australia, a man had thought up using a drone to share a drink with his neighbours while still following coronavirus lockdown rules. Joe Mignone, from Adelaide, had posted a video on his Facebook page showing him using a drone to deliver two glasses of scotch to a nearby backyard.

Mumbai Police takes cognizance of hateful tweets made by a Communist genocidal maniac after outrage by netizens, Mumbai based company to terminate his employment

The Mumbai Police has said through a tweet on Saturday that it has notified its social media lab and cyber police station of the complaints made by people on social media against Arun Nambiar, a communist, who is known to make tweets calling for the genocide of ‘Sanghis’ and people from ‘upper castes’. The tweet by Mumbai Police was made in response to a person who had called for strict action against Nambiar, who operates under the username @Proletarian1917.

The tweet by Arun Nambiar for which action was sought by the user had made extremely insulting remarks against Bharat Mata. He had said, “So I hear Bharta Mata just went down on her knees after Trump unzipped?” The sexually derogatory content of the tweet could not be mistaken and despite the supposed spelling ‘error’, it is quite obvious what he was referring to.

Source: Twitter

Arun Nambiar has, since then, locked his account on Twitter. That is, only his followers will now be able to see his tweets.

Arun Nambiar is the Vice President of Andheri based company Digital Rhombus Studios Pvt. Ltd. After the tweet of Nambiar went viral on Twitter, Director of the company Yogen Rai tweeted to clarify that the company does not subscribe to Arun Nambiar’s post on social media. He also informed that the company has initiated actions for terminating his employment. “Digital Rhombus and its directors do not support views that are anti-national. We have taken the action of terminating his employment,” Rai said. He also promised support to Mumbai police in any action to be taken.

Yogen Rai also said that Arun Nambiar’s social media posts were not known to the company, and said that they support our country and our government totally. Arun Nambiar’s LinkedIn account had shown him as the Vice-President of Digital Rhombus Studios Pvt. Ltd., although he has deleted his LinkedIn account now.

Apart from the derogatory tweet that got him in trouble, he has made several other deeply disturbing tweets that reflect his genocidal hatred for Hindus. In one such tweet, Arun Nambiar called for the forced sterilization of ‘Upper Castes’ in Rajasthan.

In another such tweet, Arun Nambiar calls for Upper Caste Hindu parents to be ‘gulaged’. Gulag refers to the forced labour camps set up under Soviet Russia where million died due to the atrocities committed by the Communist regime. He then proceeded to state that the children of such parents will be seized and turned into ‘properties of the state’. “They will be deradicalized, educated in the sciences, and if worthy, will rejoin society on the condition that they become sworn workers of Ambedkarite parties,” he said.

In another tweet, Arun Nambiar says, “I absolutely applaud Narendra Modi saying that the country needs to adopt the #Kerala model now… So….when can we start hunting Sanghis? (sic)”

Source: Twitter

In one what appears to be one of his earlier accounts on Twitter, which was operated under the username @aruns_nambiar, Arun Nambiar said, “It is the biggest historical mistake of Nehru to have not lined up everyone in the RSS in front of a firing squad. INC, learn and correct.”

In another of his previous avatars as per users on the social media platform, @DasBolshevik, Arun Nambiar gave a call for an independent ‘Dravidanadu’.

Source: @Ra_c7r/Twitter

Through the same account, Arun Nambiar called the murder of a BJP leader in Bihar ‘good news’.

Source: @Ra_c7r/Twitter

Now that the Mumbai Police has directed its cyber cell to take note of his tweets for ‘necessary action’, it remains to be seen whether any action is taken against Arun Nambiar for making genocidal tweets that come across as an incitement to commit violence. People are massively outraged by the incendiary comments made by the said person through his Twitter handle. All eyes are now on Mumbai Police for some necessary action in the said matter.

Recently, a bunch of Islamists in India have taken to making false allegations of ‘Islamophobia’ against Hindus living in Islamic countries in the Middle East and reporting them to the local Police and employers in order to get them terminated from their job or much worse. Some Hindus had even suffered due to such malicious attacks and had lost their jobs while facing the possibility of time in prison.

Sri Lanka: Government makes cremation of those who die of coronavirus compulsory, rejects objections by Muslim groups

In an official gazette issued by the Health Minister of Sri Lanka, the govt said that the corpse of the person who has died of or is suspected to have died of Chinese coronavirus will be cremated. The Minister said that the body shall be burned at a temperature of 800-1200 degree Celsius for a period of 45-60 minutes. The Sri Lankan government has rejected the objections of Muslim community who said that cremation violates the Islamic burial rites and is forbidden in Islam.

The Muslim leaders wanted the Sri Lankan government to follow the WHO guidelines which permit both, burial as well as cremation. However, as per the Director General of Health Services, Dr Anil Jasinghe, the ground water level of Sri Lanka is at a much higher level and burying the bodies pose a critical risk of spreading the virus by burying the bodies. He also emphasised that the risk will be increased as burying will take more time.

However, the Muslim community has accused the government of ‘callous disregard’ for religious rituals and the families’ wishes. Of 21-million population in Sri Lanka, Muslims represent 10% of the total population.

As of now over 200 people have tested positive for coronavirus on the island nation and the country is on an indefinite lockdown. On Sunday, a year after the Jihadis attacked the church on Easter in 2019, the country’s Roman Catholic Church said that it forgave the suicide bombers.

Inquiry initiated against Delhi Police Head Constable Pankaj Khan for helping Madrassa members to cross the border during the lockdown

The Delhi police have initiated an inquiry against Head Constable Pankaj Khan for helping Madrassa members in southwest Delhi to cross the border and reach Mewat in Harayana during the nationwide lockdown. Khan had made the offer to help people ‘cross border’ on a social media site.

The inquiry has revealed that he helped some men from a madrasa in southwest Delhi to cross the border. Reportedly Pankaj Khan used his own vehicle ferry those people across the border in his vehicle, and showed his Police ID card at the border post to cross the state border.

The Head Constable has been kept under quarantine, following his medical examination. A showcause notice will be issued against him. Sources have revealed that an FIR will be registered against Khan if all allegations levelled against him are found true. He is posted at the communications department of the Delhi police.

The Delhi police had received a complaint through email on 4th April that Pankaj Khan was helping people in crossing the border. It was found that he himself had offered help in crossing the border from Delhi on Facebook. He had written that if any Madrasa student wants to go to Mewat he will help them, he had also listed his phone number so that people can contact him. After this, the police decided to take action against him. According to reports he has admitted that he has helped 4-5 students in crossing the border.

Last week, the Delhi Police suspended a constable after he had assisted Tablighi Jamaat members to cross the Delhi-UP border. The Delhi policeman was identified as constable Imran, who was posted in the security unit of the Delhi Police. Reportedly, Imran was illegally crossing the Delhi-UP border on Thursday in his car along with members of Tablighi Jamaat.

The constable was stopped by Ghaziabad Police and was taken into custody after he was interrogated. Imran has been placed under quarantine at a private hospital in Loni along with eight others after he was caught helping to escape to Amroha. Imran is currently suspended by Delhi Police, which also ordered an inquiry.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson discharged from hospital after receiving treatment for the coronavirus

Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has been discharged from the hospital after having been admitted due to the Wuhan Coronavirus. However, he will not immediately return to work. He spent three nights in intensive care before he was returned to a ward on Thursday.

Downing Street said, “On the advice of his medical team, the PM will not be immediately returning to work. He wishes to thank everybody at St Thomas’ for the brilliant care he has received.” They added, “All of his thoughts are with those affected by this illness.”

Carrie Symonds, the fiance of Boris Johnson, expressed immense gratitude towards the National Health Service in the United Kingdom and the staff at the St. Thomas’ Hospital, where the British Prime Minister was treated. “I will never, ever be able to repay you and I will never stop thanking you,” she said. Symonds stated further, “There were times last week that were very dark indeed. My heart goes out to all those in similar situations, worried sick about their loved ones.” She also thanked everyone for their messages of support and said that she was feeling extremely lucky.

Boris Johnson had declared on the 27th of March that he had tested positive for the Wuhan Coronavirus and would isolate himself in Downing Street. He said that he had begun showing ‘mild’ symptoms over the previous 24 hours. However, he had stated that he would continue to be in charge of the government’s handling of the crisis. Boris Johnson was moved to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the hospital on the 7th of April after his condition had worsened since the previous day.

Netizens joke about end of world as an earthquake hits Delhi-NCR amidst coronavirus lockdown

The internet was flooded with dark humour about doomsday prophecies and end of world jokes as a 3.5 magnitude earthquake hit the Delhi-NCR region on Sunday. The earthquake came at a time when the world is battling Chinese coronavirus and India has been on a lockdown for almost three weeks now. At such time, the earthquake, which thankfully did not do any harm, provided some much needed comic relief.

Just when you think things could only get better, mother nature decides to intervene. The earthquake comes at a time when everyone is supposed to be locked inside their homes as per government guidelines in a bid to contain the pandemic. And while we are at it, pardon the French.

The epicentre of the earthquake was NorthEast Delhi and while it scared the bejesus out of us, we’re just glad that it did not add more strain on the already stressed out authorities.

BookMyShow under fire from netizens for promoting Hinduphobes and those who wished death upon PM Modi

BookMyShow under fire from netizens for promoting Hinduphobes and those who wished death upon PM Modi

The Indian online ticketing platform BookMyShow has stoked a huge controversy on social media after it promoted ultra-left wing Hinduphobic trolls on its platform, who had once wished death for Prime Minister Modi.

On Sunday, the online ticketing platform shared a tweet promoting an event of ultra-left wing troll Harnidh Kaur, who goes by her social media handle @pedestrianpoet.

“The woman driving India’s digital revolution @PedestrianPoet is coming live on her Instagram today for a candid conversation with everyone!” tweeted BookMyShow by promoting her show.

However, netizens were enraged with the conduct of the BookMyShow as Kaur is widely known for her extreme Hinduphobic views. She had even once wished death for Prime Minister Modi.

Kaur had once attempted to mock Narendra Modi, who was then the Gujarat Chief Minister, and had claimed that the only similarity between Mahatma Gandhi and Modi would be if someone assassinates Modi. It is pertinent to note that Kaur writes for Shekhar Gupta’s ‘The Print’.

In the now-deleted tweet, Kaur had appended ‘seriously’ as if making it clear to her readers that she was not being facetious while wanting Narendra Modi assassinated.

As BookMyShow resorted to the mindless promotion of talk-show of Harnidh Kaur, social media users were unhappy about the constant practice of the ticketing platform of giving space to notorious Hinduphobic elements. This incident comes just a day after BookMyShow had promoted rabid Islamist – Hussain Haidry on its platform.

Netizens took to Twitter to demand accountability from the BookMyShow for promoting Pedestrianpoet. Social media users also uninstalled the ‘BookMyShow’ as a form of protest against the service provider for indulging in anti-Hindu behaviour.

Few social media users boycotted the app and asserted that they will never use the app ever in future.

Lately, there has been a trend across “liberal-secular” media to provide platforms to people who have hatred against the Hindus. It seems that the online commercial platforms have now joined the bandwagon to promote these Hinduphobic entities.

2 Fraudsters who duped people to the tune of ₹52 lacs by creating fake website of PM Cares Fund arrested

On Thursday, the Jharkhand police nabbed two fraudsters, namely, Noor Hassan and Mohammad Iftekhar who were accused of duping people to the tune of ₹52 lacs by urging them to donate to a fake website in the name of PM Cares Relief Fund.

The incident came to light after Sujit Kumar Singh, the manager of the Punjab National Bank (Big Bazaar Branch), and Amit Kumar, the manager of the Union Bank (Annada Chowk branch) separately lodged complaints against the account holders at the Sadar police station in Hazaribagh in Jharkhand. While Amit has alleged cyber fraud of ₹17 lacs, Sujit has claimed fraud of ₹34.8 lacs.

During the investigation, it was revealed that the account holders are real brothers who had fraudulently collected ₹52,58,442.26 through the fake website with the URL www.pmcarerelieffund.com. The branch manager of the Union Bank said that the name of the account holder was written as “PM Care” in the website while the original name of the account holder was Noor Hasan Gram Lache in the bank records.

The account (519102010958743) was opened online on December 26, 2019. The account had received ₹17 lacs deposits that have now been withdrawn. Another account (519102010958743) was opened in the Punjab National Bank by Mohammad Iftekhar Gram Lache on January 13, 2020, and this account was also listed as the account of ‘PM Cares’ on the fake website. Deposits to the tune of ₹34 lacs were made to this account for charity by people who mistook it for the original account of PM Cares Fund.

During the inquiry, one Parmeshwar Sau has been identified as the main leader. The cops raided the house of Sau and recovered several documents including bank passbooks, checkbooks, and ATM cards. The ring leader is currently on the run from the law enforcement authorities while the other two have been sent to JP Jail. The fake website has been taken offiline now.

Arrested Hassan and Ifthekar had claimed Parmeshwar Sau had opened their accounts in both the banks and kept their passbook with him. They revealed that Sau was behind this cyber fraud. The two accused were given a certain sum of money by the ring leader. The cops are of the view that the arrest of the Sau will shed light on the number of people who were involved in this cybercrime.

The outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic has given way to fraudsters to make quick money. Several cases of people creating UPI IDs with names similar to PM Cares were seen days after the PM CARES fund was opened by PM Modi. Earlier, Food and Drug Administration of Maharashtra raided a factory alleged of making fake hand sanitisers in Vakola area of Mumbai. As per reports, the ‘sanitizers’ didn’t have proper anti-bacterial particles which make the solution disinfectant. The factory had reportedly started operations 8 days back and had neither licence nor batch number. These were reportedly sold for Rs 105 to Rs 180 per piece.

Uttar Pradesh: 17 Foreign Tablighi Jamaat members sent to jail in Bahraich after the end of quarantine period

17 foreign nationals associated with the Tablighi Jamaat have been sent to jail in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh on Saturday. The Jamaatis are from Indonesia and Thailand. The foreign nationals were part of the 21 Jamaatis who were apprehended from the Taj and Quraish Masjid in the city. They were kept under quarantine although they had tested negative for the Wuhan Coronavirus. They were later produced in front of the Magistrate after the mandated period of quarantine had ended. They have been sent to jail for violating visa and passport norms.

Superintendent of Police, Bahraich, Vipin Mishra, said that 21 members of the Tablighi Jamaat have been taken on remand. Of these, 10 are Indonesian nationals, 7 are from Thailand and 4 are Indian nationals. They have been charged for hiding themselves after returning from the Nizamuddin Markaz of the Tablighi Jamaat in Delhi. It’s said they were living in hiding after returning from the hotspot of the Wuhan Coronavirus.

The foreign nationals have been charged under sections 269, 270, 271, 188, section 03 of the Epidemic Diseases Act (1897), section 12(3) of the Passport Act (1967), sections 14(b) and 14(c) of the Foreigners Act (1946) and section 56 of the Disaster Management Act (2005).

Earlier, Madhya Pradesh had booked 64 foreign Tablighi Jamaat members who had traveled to India to attend the event at the Markaz Nizamuddin for violating Visa norms. In Meerut as well, 14 Muslim clerics were arrested from a Maulana’s residence after they were found hiding after returning from the event at the Markaz.
