On Monday, October 14, Canadian Government finally concluded the investigation into the 39-year-old terrorist attack that took down Air India Flight AI-182. Justin Trudeau government concluded that the terror attack was executed by 31-year-old Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is being protected by Indian Government by keeping him in a jail in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Lawrence Bishnoi blew up Air India Flight 182 eight years before his birth, as per Justin Trudeau, while it was enroute from Montreal to London, as the plane was at an altitude of 31,000 feet.
The remnants of the aircraft, following the explosion, fell into the sea approximately 190 kilometres off the coast of Ireland, killing all 329 people on board, including 268 Canadian citizens, 27 British citizens, and 24 Indian citizens.
Notably, this was the biggest aviation terror attack before 9/11 attacks in USA, and Justin Trudeau-led Canadian Government feels Lawrence Bishnoi could have inspired the attack on Twin Towers in New York as well.
“The man could execute a major terror attack when he was minus 8 years old, imagine what he could do when he actually 8 years old”, said a senior official in Justin Trudeau Government.
Meanwhile, addressing the media, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau said, “I will tell US President George Bush that he was wrong to attack Afghanistan, and I will tell President Obama that he was wrong to kill Osama Bin Laden, and I will tell Donald Trump that he was wrong to kill Baghdadi, and I will tell Joe Biden……. nothing, he won’t understand, anyway, I will tell all of them that Lawrence Bishnoi is behind everything, from 9/11 to Benghazi to whatever shit that happened in the world.”
“Finally Trudeau has nailed Modi to the post, for the actions of Lawrence Bishnoi 8 years before his birth”, said an excited Indian mainstream journalist after the statement by Justin Trudeau.
On 9/11, the leading Indian journalist said, “We have all seen Stewie in ‘Family Guy’ show, kids can be evil, maybe it was Bishnoi but Osama needlessly got blamed.”
Notably, Canadian governments have been investigating the Kanishka Bombing case for the last 39 years but couldn’t catch the main culprit. Finally, they have named the main culprit who is currently in Sabarmati Jail on unrelated charges.
More horrifying information has emerged regarding the torture that the extremists inflicted on 22-year-old Ram Gopal Mishra before his death, reported Jagran. His body was riddled with injury marks. His fingernails were ripped off.
He was shot after suffering horrific torment and agony from several blows and bullet pellets that tore apart his body from the chest to the neck. Notably, the post-mortem report confirmed the allegations of the family members of the victim, however, the authorities are refusing to share the report, claiming it’s a directive from higher-ups.
Ram Gopal’s distraught mother also observed that her son’s toenails had been torn off when she saw his battered body.

On the other hand, an official from the department unveiled that the charges by Ram Gopal’s family have proven correct in the autopsy analysis of the corpse. He verified that the young man had to endure severe torture before the Islamists finally ended his life. His father Putai Mishra is in a terrible condition and asks, “Who is more unfortunate than me having to bear his second child’s lifeless body?” Ram Gopal’s brother Harimilan Mishra informed that his other brother passed away, a few years ago. The former was the youngest of the three.
So it’s true. Gopal Mishra was tortured, his toe nails pulled out before his body was pumped with multiple bullets in Bahraich. The pictures did suggest that
Was this an angry reaction to changing flags? Or declaration of Jihad? This must be investigated by anti-terrorism unit pic.twitter.com/QolS98ZmeR
Ram Gopal was married only two months before the Muslim radicals killed him on 13th October during a visarjan procession of the Goddess Durga idol in the Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh. Abdul Hameed, his two sons Sarfaraz and Faheem and Sahir Khan, along with others have been named as accused in the case. The Muslim mob started pelting stones from Abdul Hameed’s residence after which the people in the procession also retaliated. Meanwhile, Ram Gopal allegedly went to the roof of that house, took down two green flags and tied a wire to hoist the saffron flag. He was dragged inside the house by the perpetrators who then murdered him.
The cops present at the location acted like mute spectators and lathi-charged the devotees, according to the eyewitnesses. They seemed helpless in front of the Muslim rioters. The people participating in the procession reached Ram Gopal quite late because of the stone-throwing and firing. He was already dead by then. The altercation was reportedly started by Muslim youths who were standing on the street under the pretext of gulaal (coloured powder used in Hindu rituals and festivals including Holi). The police’s inaction emboldened the Muslim side who resorted to stone pelting.
Abdul Hamid who was the mastermind behind the attack has a son who resides in Nepal. He goes to a madrasa close to Fultekra in the Banke area where anti-India and anti-Hindu activities take place. Some people have expressed concern that Abdul Hamid’s family might have fled to Nepal via the Indian border following the killing of Ram Gopal.
Furthermore, a new video on social media showed that the extremists hurled stones and fired shots at Ram Gopal’s lifeless body, not even sparing him to death. According to Harimilan, his brother was killed by Muslims after they pulled him into their home. Somehow, a few Hindu youngsters involved in the procession made it there and attempted to remove the body. Stones and gunshots were aimed at those carrying the body. Ram Gopal’s corpse was also struck by a few stones. He added that the only way to remove his brother’s body was through the roof of another house.
He mentioned that Hindus would not have been assaulted if they remained together but the incident transpired just as police did a lathi-charge which led to a stampede and shots were fired which took his brother’s life. He charged that the police did not assist in rescuing Ram Gopal or in removing his body following the murder. Ram Gopal Mishra was cremated recently. Harimilan stated that his family also had an altercation with the administration before the cremation and they only did it after Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Sureshwar Singh assured them. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is also scheduled to meet the family on 15th October.

On Monday (14th October), the banned terrorist outfit ‘Sikhs for Justice’ (SFJ) announced a reward of $5,00,000 to hunt down Indian High Commissioner, Sanjay Verma
In an unprecedented move, the Canadian government led by Justin Trudeau declared Verma a ‘person of interest’ in the country and accused him and other Indian diplomats of threatening the safety of South Asian Canadians.
Trudeau and his law enforcement agencies have failed to provide evidence to back their outlandish claims. However, the Canadian Prime Minister’s dog whistling was enough for SFJ to unleash its Khalistani extremists on Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Verma.
In a statement, SFJ stated, “By expelling Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Verma and other Diplomats, PM Tridean has demonstrated his government’s unwavering commitment to bringing to justice those who facilitated the assassination of a Canadian Citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar Canadian on Canadian sol respective of the pressure Tradeas Government faced from Modi Government and pro-Hindutva lobby in Canada.“
The terror outfit, headed by Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, accused Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Verma of providing ‘logistical support’ for the murder of terrorist Hardip Singh Nijjar and heading a spy network in Canada.
‘Sikhs for Justice’ informed that it has set aside a budget of half a million dollars to track down Verma to ensure ‘justice’, hinting at a nefarious agenda to attack and kill the Indian diplomat.
SFJ plans to kill Sanjay Verma
“Allocating a hefty budget of $500,000, Sikhs For Justice announced that even after Verma’s expulsion and departure from Canada, it will continue tracking his movements and whereabouts in pursuit of bringing him to justice for his role in the assassination of Shaheed Nijjar,” it announced.
The terror organisation built upon the foundation of a politically motivated decision of Justin Trudeau to lend credence to the baseless allegations of the involvement of Sanjay Verma in threatening the ‘life and liberty of Pro Khalistani Sikhs on Canadian soil’ and operating a ‘spy network manned by pro-Hindutva’ Indo-Canadians.
Justin Trudeau dog whistled against Indian diplomats
During his address to the media, Justin Trudeau made outlandish claims about Indian diplomats (albeit without evidence) and thus endangered their lives in the process of scoring political brownies.
He had claimed, “As the Commissioner of the RCMP, Mike Duheme, stated earlier today, the RCMP has clear and compelling evidence that agents of the Government of India have engaged in, and continue to engage in, activities that pose a significant threat to public safety. This includes clandestine information gathering techniques, coercive behaviour targeting South Asian Canadians, and involvement in over a dozen threatening and violent acts, including murder. This is unacceptable.“
“While attempts have been made by the RCMP and national security officials to work with the Government of India and Indian law enforcement counterparts on this matter, they have been repeatedly refused. That is why, this weekend, Canadian officials took an extraordinary step. They met with Indian officials to share RCMP evidence, which concluded six agents of the Government of India are persons of interest in criminal activities,” Trudeau continued with his bizarre claims.
-We don't have any evidence against India… -The matter is in Canadian Court, yet to be proved -But India is guilty

On Monday, 14th October, India and Canada came face-to-face after Canada levelled serious allegations against India, accusing it of being linked to “criminal activities” in Canada including the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) issued a statement during a press conference on Monday accusing India of involvement in criminal activities in Canada. The RCMP said in the statement that due to the considerable threat posed to public safety, it had taken the unusual step of publicly disclosing information on the ongoing investigation.
The RCMP inadvertently admitted that Canada has become a safe haven for pro-Khalistan elements when they clarified that India’s actions are not targeting Sikhs as a whole, but specifically focusing on pro-Khalistani individuals. By acknowledging this, Canada inadvertently exposes the influence of Khalistani elements within its borders, while India continues to uphold its stance against terrorism, not a community.
The RCMP claimed to have discovered a series of violent threats targeting the South Asian community in Canada, specifically those linked to the pro-Khalistani movement. These threats include homicides and extortions and have persisted despite the efforts of Canadian law enforcement agencies. The RCMP said it created a multidisciplinary team in February 2024 to investigate the criminal activities “orchestrated” by agents of the Indian government on Canadian soil.
The agency claimed to have uncovered “direct links” between Indian diplomats in Canada and violent acts, including homicides. The RCMP claimed that these diplomats used their official positions to engage in clandestine activities, collecting intelligence on South Asian Canadians to target them through criminal proxies. The intelligence, according to the RCMP, was gathered through coercion, with some Canadian individuals and businesses threatened into cooperating with the Indian agents.
The RCMP claimed that the agency and Canadian officials attempted to collaborate with Indian law enforcement agencies to address these concerns, but India refused to do so. The Deputy Commissioner of Federal Policing, Mark Flynn, alongside Canadian national security officials, met with Indian representatives to present evidence of Indian agents’ involvement in these activities, but the meeting did not result in cooperation.
The RCMP identified four major issues related to India’s interference in Canada: violent extremism impacting both countries, Indian government links to criminal acts, the use of organised crime to create an unsafe environment for South Asians in Canada, and interference in Canada’s democratic processes.
Interestingly, the RCMP named the Lawrence Bishnoi gang as being behind the criminal activities and claimed that the Indian government had been using Bishnoi’s associates in Canada to target Khalistani terrorists. “It (India) is targeting South Asian community but they are specifically targeting pro-Khalistani elements in Canada…What we have seen is, from an RCMP perspective, they use organised crime elements. It has been publically attributed and claimed by one organised crime group in particular – Bishnoi Group…We believe that the group is connected to agents of the Government of India,” Brigitte Gauvin, Assistant Commissioner, Federal Policing, National Security, Royal Canadian Mounted Police said.

Washington Post named Home Minister Amit Shah as one of the officials involved in criminal activities
The Washington Post has levelled shocking allegations against Home Minister of India, Amit Shah, accusing him of being involved in criminal activities in Canada. According to its report, Canadian officials have accused senior figures within the Government of India of orchestrating violence against Khalistani terrorists in Canada, including the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar and other attacks on pro-Khalistani elements. The claims, according to the report, are backed by intercepted communications and newly gathered intelligence.
Responding to the allegations levelled by the investigative agencies, the Canadian government identified six Indian diplomats for their direct involvement in gathering intelligence on Khalistani terrorists. These diplomats, including the High Commissioner to Canada, Sanjay Kumar Verma, were ordered to leave the country. In response, India also expelled six Canadian diplomats and asked them to leave by 20th October.
While Canada has accused India of obfuscating and personally attacking PM Trudeau on the matter, India has responded by denying any involvement in the attacks. The Government of India has called the allegations part of a political agenda by PM Trudeau.
According to the report, the RCMP uncovered evidence linking Indian diplomats to home invasions, shootings, and additional killings in Canada. Canadian officials claim that the intelligence collected by Indian diplomats was passed on to India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), which used criminal syndicates to carry out attacks on separatist figures.
The report also named Home Minister Amit Shah as one of the senior officials involved in the attacks. According to WaPo, a secret meeting between Canadian and Indian officials in Singapore sought to address the rising tensions, but India denied any involvement in the attacks. WaPo claimed that during the meeting, India’s National Security Adviser, Ajit Doval, acknowledged surveillance activities by Indian diplomats but rejected any connections to violence.
Justin Trudeau blames India
In a statement issued by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau regarding the “ongoing investigation” into India’s involvement in the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil, he claimed that Canadian investigative agencies have found credible evidence that the Indian government was involved in criminal activities in Canada. Earlier, in a statement, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) claimed that the Indian government used gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang to target Khalistani terrorists in Canada.
My statement on the evidence brought forward by the RCMP against agents of the Government of India:https://t.co/kC6ZXzXXsG
In his statement, Trudeau claimed that the investigation by Canadian law enforcement agencies and intelligence services uncovered “credible allegations” that Indian government agents played a direct role in the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. He said that Canadian authorities have shared the information with the Indian government and requested cooperation to bring clarity to the matter.
He further stated that the RCMP has presented compelling evidence linking Indian agents to clandestine information gathering and coercive behaviour targeting South Asian Canadians, particularly Sikhs who are pro-Khalistani. The RCMP has claimed that India has been involved in over a dozen violent acts, including murder, on Canadian soil. He claimed that Canadian officials attempted to collaborate with Indian law enforcement agencies but met with repeated refusals.

He added that, in light of the continued refusal to cooperate by Indian authorities, Canada has taken further action by expelling six Indian diplomats implicated in these activities. Trudeau added that Canada would not tolerate the involvement of a foreign government in threatening or killing Canadian citizens. He called on India to cooperate with the investigation and emphasised that Canada respects India’s sovereignty and expects the same in return.
India expelled six Canadian diplomats
Responding to the allegations levelled by Canadian government, India expelled six Canadian diplomats. A statement released by the Ministry of External Affairs stated that six Canadian diplomats, namely Mr Stewart Ross Wheeler, Acting High Commissioner, Mr Patrick Hebert, Deputy High Commissioner, Ms Marie Catherine Joly, First Secretary, Mr Ian Ross David Trites, First Secretary, Mr Adam James Chuipka, First Secretary, and Ms Paula Orjuela, First Secretary, have been asked to leave India before 11:59 PM on Saturday, October 19, 2024.
The development came after Canada asked 6 Indian diplomats to leave the country. This move from Justin Trudeau’s government came in response to India recalling its High Commissioner from Canada over the Trudeau government’s blatant support of Khalistani terrorists and Trudeau blaming India without any proof for Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Nijjar’s death. Notably, it has been over a year since Justin Trudeau blamed India for the death of terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, but has failed to provide any proof to support his accusations in all these months.
Earlier, India, having had enough of Justin Trudeau’s shenanigans, and after this blatant targeting of Indian diplomats by Canadian PM Justin Trudeau, India decided to withdraw its Indian High Commissioner from Canada. India also hit out at the “preposterous” allegations by Canada, terming them a “strategy of smearing India for political gains”, since everyone knows that Justin Trudeau is targeting India to get the votes of Khalistanis during the next elections in Canada.
Furthermore, India has recalled its High Commissioner from Canada over Trudeau government’s blatant support of Khalistani terrorists and Trudeau blaming India without any proof for Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Nijjar’s death. After which, Canada asked 6 Indian diplomats to leave the country.
On Sunday (13th October), Muslim mobs went on a rampage in Shyampur in the Howrah district of West Bengal. They attacked a Durga Puja pandal, vandalised the idol of the Hindu deity and set shops ablaze.
The Shyampur Bazaar Babasyayi Samiti organised an art competition wherein participants were asked to draw ’eminent personalities of different religions’ on the occasion of Durga Puja.
According to Hindu activist Devdutta Maji, the organisers displayed pictures of Prophets of all religions to educate Hindu children. During the course of the ‘appeasement’, they also put up pictures of Prophet Muhammad.
The photographs are from today's (13/10/2024) incident in the Shyampur area of Howrah district. The Durga pratima and the pandal were vandalized. My personal reaction is mixed regarding this incident.

Soon after, Muslim mobs stormed the streets of Shyampur to avenge the ‘insult’ to Prophet Muhammad. “Frightened, the club officials removed the picture, but even that didn’t save them,” Devdutt Majhi informed.
“The idols were vandalized, the pandal was destroyed, several Hindus were beaten and left bloodied, fires were set on the streets—all by the devout worshippers (Muslim mob), because their emotions had been hurt!” he added.
In visuals that have surfaced on social media, it could be seen that the idol of Goddess Durga was broken. Several shops and establishments were set on fire. The violent Muslim mob also attacked the police and Hindu devotees with stones

Later, a large contingent of police and the Rapid Action Force (RAF) was deployed in the area to restore normalcy. A total of 67 extremists were arrested by the police and produced before a court.
Howrah Rural Police SP Swati Bhangalia informed the media, “Police and security personnel are keeping a close vigil in the area. Appropriate steps will be taken according to the progress of the situation.”
BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari tweeted, “Today a group of miscreants while returning from the Shyampur Police Station where they went to submit a deputation, went berserk and started vandalising the Durga Puja Pandals. They set on fire the idols at the Shyampur Bazar Byabsayi Samiti Puja Pandal and vandalised other Pandals as well. Some of them even pelted stones at the immersion ghat.”

“The situation is very tense at the area under the Shyampur Police Station in the Howrah Rural Police District. I would like to urge the DG @WBPolice to send adequate forces immediately at the spot to quell the vandalism and take action against the unruly vandals,” he added.
The internet service has been suspended in Shyampur until further notice.
Earlier on 11th October, a frenzied Muslim mob stormed the Puja Pandal of New Bengal Sporting Club at the Garden Reach area of Kolkata and threatened to vandalise the idol if celebrations weren’t stopped.
On Sunday, 13th October, The Print published an article titled “BJP panel sitting on her case for over 2 yrs, Nupur Sharma eases back into public life”, authored by Neelam Pandey. The article discussed former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Nupur Sharma making appearances and trying to return to normal life. Sharma, who was hounded for two years for her statement during a debate that was deemed derogatory against Prophet Mohammed, was practically in hiding to save herself from jihadis. Now, as she attempts to live a normal life and make short but significant appearances, left-liberal media houses are feeling uneasy.

What followed on the Instagram post promoting the article were hate-filled comments and threats by Islamists against Sharma.
Source: Instagram
Nupur Sharma hounded for two years
In May 2022, Nupur Sharma got caught in the middle of a heated TV debate on Times Now about the Gyanvapi issue. One of the panellists, Taslim Ahmed Rehmani, provoked her by making derogatory comments about Hindu beliefs and Bhagwan Shiv, which set off a chain reaction. In response, Sharma replied in a similar tone.
What followed was a massive backlash. Alt News’ co-founder and well-known clip-trimmer propagandist, Mohammad Zubair, cunningly edited the video of the debate and published only Sharma’s comments. Her remarks were termed “blasphemous” by several Islamic groups and Islamists, sparking a wave of anger. It quickly escalated into violence and threats to her life.
Instead of holding both panellists accountable for what they said about each other’s religion, Zubair decided to target Sharma, and she bore the brunt of the outrage. Her words became the focal point of a growing storm, and soon Zubair turned it into an international topic of discussion. Islamic countries began issuing statements against her, and threats poured in from all corners. Despite issuing a statement retracting her words, the situation did not calm, and the BJP eventually suspended her.
Her rising political career was cut short because of a clipped video, and no one countered the narrative with full force. The party, for which she had worked tirelessly for years, distanced itself from her remarks and condemned any insults towards religious figures. Whether she received support behind the scenes is irrelevant—the public support she deserved never materialised. Even Supreme Court judges expressed animosity towards her, blaming her for the violence and murders that followed. The unrealistic response to a TV debate left the Hindu community in shock.
The fallout: Murders and threats
Despite her apology and suspension from the party, protests continued across the country. More tragically, brutal murders shocked the nation. A Hindu tailor from Udaipur, Kanhaiya Lal, and a businessman from Amravati, Umesh Kolhe, were murdered by Islamic extremists in retaliation for their support of Nupur Sharma. These murders highlighted the dangerous atmosphere that developed after the TV debate. It demonstrated how a well-planned conspiracy against one Hindu woman could put the whole community under fire.
Despite the bloodshed and clear signs of rising extremism, media outlets, journalists, left-liberals, and so-called intellectuals remained silent about the events that directly contributed to these heinous acts. They focused on what Sharma said and ruthlessly tarnished her image across platforms. They portrayed her as the instigator, while those who threatened her—and worse, those who murdered in her name—faced little to no scrutiny. The best example is Rehmani, who continues to roam free and appear in debates.
The never-ending hounding of Nupur Sharma
Since her suspension, Sharma has lived like a fugitive, as if she did some heinous crime. She is facing continuous threats to her life. Wherever she goes, she must be surrounded by heavy security. Meanwhile, Taslim Ahmed Rehmani, the man who initiated the heated debate and provoked her on national television, is roaming free. He enjoys the privileges of media appearances and public life, while Sharma remains under constant threat. Who is responsible for such a stark difference in the treatment of so-called hate speech? The media houses, intellectuals, left-liberals, and journalists continue to hound Sharma.
In Neelam Pandey’s article, she conveniently focuses on Sharma trying to resume some semblance of normalcy by attending seminars, participating in protests, and making public appearances. However, the author fails to acknowledge that the real instigators of this entire situation are roaming free. The Print’s article portrays Sharma as a polarising figure, while those who provoked the conflict are not held accountable anywhere in the piece.
#विजयादशमी के पावन पर्व पर दिल्ली में होने वाली विभिन्न रामलीलाओं में रावण दहन में भाग लेने का अवसर मिला।
What stands out in The Print’s article is the blatant disregard for context. It is no secret that Sharma’s comments were not isolated. The debate was already charged, with Rehmani fanning the flames by targeting Bhagwan Shiv. Yet, even after over two years, media outlets continue to absolve him of any responsibility. Sharma was pushed into darkness, and media houses are trying to make it impossible for her to emerge from it.
Sharma’s life was turned upside down. For over two years, the BJP’s disciplinary committee has been investigating the matter. Her once-promising political career has been indefinitely stalled. She is extremely cautious while returning to public life, as she remains a marked woman—a marked Hindu woman—who does not know from where the next threat may come.
Those who sympathised with her, like Kanhaiya Lal, paid the ultimate price. Those who murdered Kanhaiya Lal got bail. The media, however, is still reluctant to shine a spotlight on those responsible for the mess. The only target they see is Nupur Sharma. They continue to paint her as the villain, erasing the very real danger she faces. It is clear that, when it comes to Hindus, it is easy to justify painting a target on their backs, as they hardly get any support.
Accountability for those who provoked violence
It is high time that media houses, including The Print, understand who the real culprits are and stop shielding them. Though it is unrealistic to expect this from them, it is still their responsibility as a media house to present the truth and not propaganda.
Conclusion
The selective narrative pushed by The Print and Neelam Pandey is not just unjust; it exemplifies a deeper problem. Nupur Sharma’s case is a prime example of the double standards displayed by the media, left-liberals, and so-called intellectuals.
As long as this imbalance in accountability continues, we will remain a society that punishes victims while rewarding instigators. Nupur Sharma has suffered enough. The vilification from the media and the silence of those who should have stood by her must end. It is time for a fair and honest narration of events—one that holds all parties accountable, not just the convenient targets.
On Sunday (October 13, 2024) in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, an Islamist mob attacked the devotees going to immerse the Durga idol. In the attack, Abdul Hamid and other Muslims, killed a youth named Ram Gopal Mishra. After this brutal murder, there has been unrest in the entire district. The administration is constantly trying to pacify protesters.
Meanwhile, another video of Ram Gopal’s murder has surfaced. This video is going viral on social media, in which it has been said that stones were thrown on Hindus trying to take away the dead body of the deceased Ram Gopal.
This video is about 20 seconds long. In this, a person can be seen coming down from the stairs from the roof of a house. That person is carrying the body of Ram Gopal Mishra with both his hands. There is another person below who is not visible in the video. That person is holding Ram Gopal’s feet. Meanwhile, a third person is recording the video. There is a gathering of devotees outside the wall as well.

Meanwhile, as they are taking the dead body out, stones start raining on the people carrying the body. Suddenly, two people are seen below the stairs. Both of them start firing bullets on the people carrying Ram Gopal’s body. One of them is wearing a black T-shirt and blue jeans while the other is wearing a white shirt. Both of them had taken cover behind a wall to attack. The person making the video tilts the camera down as the bullets are fired.
The corpse of Ram Gopal was taken out through the roofs
OpIndia spoke to Harimilan Mishra, brother of the deceased Ramgopal, in connection with this video. Harimilan said that his brother was murdered by Muslims by dragging him into their house. Some Hindu youths involved in the immersion procession somehow reached there and tried to bring the body out. The youths bringing the body were also attacked with bullets and stones. Some stones also hit Ram Gopal’s dead body. According to Harimilan, his brother’s body could only be brought out from the roof of another house.
When OpIndia asked whether the police did not help in bringing the body out, Harimilan replied, “My brother was killed because of the police.” He said that as long as the Hindus were united, they were not attacked, but as soon as there was a stampede due to the lathi charge by the police, the attack took place and bullets were fired. Ram Gopal Mishra became the victim of these bullets.
Brother Harimilan said that the police neither helped in saving Ram Gopal, nor in removing his body after the murder. Now, Ram Gopal Mishra has been cremated. Before the cremation, there was a long argument between the family of the deceased and the administration. Ram Gopal’s brother Harimilan said that he has cremated his brother on the basis of the assurance given by Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Sureshwar Singh.
CM Yogi will meet the family members of the deceased
OpIndia got more information about this case from local BJP MLA Sureshwar Singh. MLA Sureshwar Singh said that the family of the deceased had demanded action against the attackers and the guilty policemen. The policemen have already been suspended and the STF has reached Bahraich to arrest the attackers. Sureshwar Singh further told us that on Tuesday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will meet the family of Ram Gopal Mishra.
On Monday, 14th September, tensions arose in Secunderabad after the idol of the Muthyalamma temple in Telangana’s Kurmaguda region was vandalized, sparking fury and protests from the local Hindu residents.
The incident is believed to have occurred near a passport office, and one of the extremists was immediately captured by locals. He was later turned over to the police within the Market police station limits. The video of the said incident is making rounds on social media. Following the event, officials strengthened security and are working to restore peace.
A significant number of residents protested near the temple, demanding action against those guilty, and BJP leaders also joined them. Several BJP members, including Madhavi Latha, were imprisoned. Union Minister G Kishan Reddy headed to the temple and spoke with the protesters. He called it a ‘shameful’ act and accused some people of purposely inciting communal tensions.
“This is shameful, some people saw him, caught him, and handed him over to the police. He did not come here for theft but came here to insult Hindu society. Such incidents are happening continuously at different places in Hyderabad, some people are doing this deliberately to create tensions in Hyderabad and to increase communal riots in Hyderabad,” Reddy, who is also Telangana BJP chief, said.
Meanwhile, the CCTV footage of the incident was recovered in which a young individual wearing a white kurta and black Islamic skull cap could be seen kicking the idol of the Goddess. He blatantly vandalized the idol and threw the remains on the floor.

Earlier, the video of the said incident had gone viral on social media. In the videos, the idol of the Goddess could be seen vandalized, causing insult to the sentiments of the Hindu community. Also, the outer area of the temple could be seen destroyed and vandalized.
The Muthyalamma temple idol has been vandalized in Secunderabad's Monda Market Division.
Hindus and their temples are not safe under #Congress rule. This is yet another attack on Hindu temples in Telangana in recent times.
The identity of the accused person has not yet been revealed though he can be seen wearing an Islamic skull cap in the CCTV footage. This comes only days after an idol of Goddess Durga was smashed in Hyderabad’s Nampally Exhibition Grounds on Friday. The event sparked protests in the region.
On Friday, Latha stated, “It is time for all Hindus to retaliate whatever vandalisations are happening. Probably they are thinking that they are going to break us up. But they are uniting us by doing such things again and again. I warn them.”
A Hindu youth was murdered during a procession for visarjan of the idol of Goddess Durga on 13th October in the Bahraich district of Uttar Pradesh. The procession was pelted with stones by an Islamist mob. Abdul Hameed, Sarfaraz, Faheem and Sahir Khan, along with others have been accused of the brutal crime. The deceased has been identified as Ram Gopal Mishra who was married just two months ago. The murderers have also been connected to Nepal. OpIndia has gathered some additional information from the ground after talking to eyewitnesses.
Old father’s health deteriorated, wife widowed in 2 months
OpIndia spoke to Ram Gopal Mishra’s brother Harimilan Mishra regarding the tragedy. He stated that they were three brothers, and now, out of them, Ram Gopal is no longer in the world. He was only 22 years old and was the youngest of them all. He lived in the Rehuya Mansur village of the Ramgaon police station area. Ramgopal’s father Kailashnath is 75 years old. His health has also deteriorated after his youngest son’s death. Family members and other relatives are somehow trying to take care of him.
Ram Gopal and the other men of his family used to make a living by doing labour work and farming. Just 2 months ago, he got married to a girl from a nearby village. His wife, who lost her spouse two months after their marriage, was seen crying while hugging his body in a video received by OpIndia. Harimilan revealed that she fainted after hearing about the murder of her husband.
My brother would have been alive if the police had not resorted to lathi-charge
During the conversation with OpIndia, Harimilan Mishra was in the post-mortem house. Harimilan made an appeal to the authorities to assist his family, calling their situation miserable. He even demanded tough action against the assailants. Ram Gopal’s family has yet to receive any help from the government. They have also voiced their displeasure with the way the cops acted.
Harimilan stated that stones were initially hurled from Abdul Hamid’s house on the Durga Idol Visarjan procession which caused the idol’s hand to break and get vandalised, after which the devotees became angry. Meanwhile, the police lathi-charged the Hindus, which created chaos and people started fleeing everywhere. The Islamist perpetrators exploited the chaos and dragged Ram Gopal into a house where his life was brutally ended by them.
Harimilan disclosed that Hindus would have remained together and his brother would still be alive if the police had not resorted to lathi-charge. The family is at present unsure about their future. Along with the attackers, they have also called for an investigation and action against the police personnel who made the wrong decision.
Muslims initiated the assault
OpIndia spoke to Lalit, who reportedly participated in the procession in which Ram Gopal was killed. He shared that the location where the attack took place in Maharajganj is a Muslim-dominated area. According to him, a few young Muslim men who were standing on the road sparked the argument in the name of gulaal (coloured powder used in Hindu rituals and festivals including Holi).
He revealed that police acted like mute spectators which emboldened the culprits and then stones were thrown from Abdul Hameed’s house. Lalit also shared details regarding the video, which is circulating on social media and purports to show the victim hoisting a saffron flag after pulling down a green one. He mentioned that the broken hand of the idol infuriated the devotees. The accusations that the police were acting in a biased manner only served to stoke this rage. The body of Ram Gopal Mishra was discovered in Abdul Hamid’s residence. He was taken to the hospital where doctors declared him dead. Some other devotees were also injured and are being treated in the hospital.
Hindu organizations can be seen carrying the deceased’s body and shouting slogans in the video that OpIndia obtained. They can be heard chanting, “Down with the police-administration.” Harimilan highlighted that the Muslim mob was also raising slogans during the attack. There was also the sound of “Maro-Maro (beat them)” during the commotion.
Nepal connection of the killer
OpIndia has acquired more information about the Muslims who killed Ram Gopal. It has been learnt that Abdul Hamid’s house was used as a launch pad for the assault. Abdul Hamid is reported to be the brains behind the attack. His two sons Sarfaraz and Faheem are also named as accused in the attack. A local told OpIndia, under the condition of anonymity, that Abdul Hamid has a son who resides in Nepal.
It was also asserted that he has connections to anti-India elements in Nepal and visits a madrasa near Fultekra in the Banke district of Nepal. It is home to anti-India and anti-Hindu activities. Some people have voiced apprehension that after the murder of Ram Gopal, Abdul Hamid’s family crossed the Indian border and escaped to Nepal.
After the murder, angry people demanded encounter of the accused and bulldozer action on their houses. An appeal is also being made to provide financial assistance and government jobs to the family of the deceased. Meanwhile, the police administration is trying to calm people down.
The Hindu festival of Navratri is celebrated in a very jovial manner in every part of the country with Hindus worshiping Goddess Durga for 9 days, praying for wellbeing, and then immersing the idol on the last day. The festival is associated with embarking on the victory of good over evil and honouring Goddess Shakti, the cosmic energy.
The tenth day commemorates Durga’s victory over Mahishasura and the day concludes with a procession in which the clay sculpture idols of Goddess Durga are ceremonially moved to a river or seaside for immersion rites. Every year, the festival is celebrated in a joyous way, however, the idol immersion day this year witnessed massive attacks and violence at the hands of Islamists in various parts of the country.
The Islamists attacked several Durga idols during the nine days of Navratri causing insult to the Hindu Goddess and the sentiments of the Hindu community. Reports of Durga idol vandalism came in from Manasangan village in the Karimganj district of Assam, Gonda and Lucknow district of Uttar Pradesh, and also from Kolkata, West Bengal. Similarly, massive violence was reported on Saturday, 12th October from the Behraich, Maharajganj, and Kaushambi regions of Uttar Pradesh, Howrah region of West Bengal, Sitamadhi region of Bihar, and Gadhva region of Jharkhand.
The Islamists in each case launched deliberate attacks on the Durga immersion procession carried by Hindus, causing massive unrest and violence in respective areas. Here are the detailed accounts of the given cases.
On Saturday, 12th October, massive chaos broke out in Lakheya village in the Garhwa district of Jharkhand after Muslims stopped the immersion procession of the idol of Goddess Durga. According to the reports, Hindu devotees were carrying the idol of the deity through a Muslim-majority colony for immersion when they were stopped mid-way. The Hindu worshippers were not allowed to pass through the colony and were then attacked with stones by a Muslim mob. This left many of them injured.
On being informed about the matter, the police reached the scene. Instead of taking stringent action against the attackers, they began pleading with the residents of the Muslim-dominated colony.
BJP leader Babulal Marandi took to X (formerly Twitter) to confirm the development. In a tweet, he stated that the idol immersion procession was left stranded for 6-7 hours and that the cops were wasting time instead of taking action against the perpetrators.
गढ़वा में एक गांव में मुस्लिम समुदाय के लोगों ने माँ दुर्गा की प्रतिमा का विसर्जन पिछले 6-7 घंटों से रोक रखा है। पुलिस, विसर्जन रोककर धार्मिक उन्माद फैलाने वाले लोगों पर कारवाई करने की बजाय सिर्फ चिरौरी कर रही है।@jharkhandpolice के डीजीपी तुरंत संज्ञान लेकर विसर्जन रोकने वाले… pic.twitter.com/bHEzORNk3z
Reportedly, the police later resorted to lathi charge to bring the situation under control. A large team was deployed in the area to prevent any untoward situation. A ‘peace meeting’ was thereafter arranged between the Hindu and Muslim sides by Former BJP leader Satyendra Nath Tiwari.
A ‘deal’ was brokered wherein Hindus would not use the road passing through the Muslim colony for idol immersion. Similarly, Muslims in Lakheya village would not use roads passing through Hindu majority colonies for Muharram procession.
A young man lost his life in Sitamadhi during the violence

Islamists set fire in Shyampur, Howrah on Durga immersion
The Islamist community in West Bengal’s Howrah region launched massive violence on the day of Durga immersion citing that the Hindu event organizers in Shyampur had used the image of Mohammed Paigamber in the decorations. During Navratri, the Hindu organizers in Shyampur at this time are believed to have decorated the Durga Pandal with the theme of ‘Sarva Dharma Sambhav’ (unity among religions).
Amid this, the Islamists objected to the theme stating that the organizers had used the alleged image of Mohammed Paigamber for the purpose. After the uproar, the alleged image was immediately taken down. However, on the last day of Navratri, during the idol immersion, the Islamists launched stone-pelting, burnt tires in the area, and also set fire to some of the shops in Shyampur.
The acts by Islamists led to massive violence in the area causing disruption in the idol immersion process. They vandalized the Durga idol and protested against the alleged insult of Prophet Mohammad. The police force has been deployed in the area.

Conclusion
The Hindu festival of Navratri is an issue of devotion and religious commitment. It is the festival to celebrate the feminine power widely termed as Shakti. Amid this, Islamists making deliberate targeted attacks to insult the culture and the deity is widely condemned. These kind of targeted attacks have been happening for years. OpIndia over the years have recorded all such incidents in which Islamsits across the country targeted Hindus deliberately during Navratri. The detailed accounts of these reports can be read here.
This year these attacks have so far been reported from West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and even from Bihar, causing destruction of public properties and insult to the Hindu community. In Behraich, the chaos continues even today (while writing of this report), and its has turned so violent that the miscreants have lit up a hospital. Massive police force has bee n deployed in the area and around 25-30 have been arrested.
Even in Kausambi area of Uttar Pradesh, the Islamists insulted Goddess Durga by vandalizing its idol and also insulted the feminine power worshiped during Navratri by dragging a woman to make her a victim of assault. The administrative authorities need to take a note of this that though Hindus are majority living population in India, it is always they who have to pay the price of following a particular religion. Islmaists, be it any festival, Eid, Navratri or Ganesh pujan, execute targeted attacks on Hindus, insulting their faith, vandalizing temples and destroying their peace.
How much more are Hindus supposed to suffer at the hands of Islamists and their deliberate targeted attacks? How much more is the country supposed to suffer as such violence lead to destruction of public properties? What strict action can be taken against the perpetrators to school them once and for all leading to end of such targeted attacks? The administration needs to look into these cases very closely to ensure communal peace is maintained across the country.
