    New Delhi: A woman has been arrested for allegedly killing her brother’s live-in partner in Delhi’s Teliwara area, police said on Friday.

    On April 12, police received information that an unidentified woman’s body was found lying near Krishna Public School in Karawal Nagar, they said.

    Later, the body was identified to be that of Rohina Naz alias Mahi (25), a resident of Mirajpur in Uttarakhand, police said.

    In the CCTV footage, two bike-borne men were seen moving around suspiciously with a woman sitting in between. A man in a striped T-shirt was also seen carrying the woman’s body on his shoulder and a woman walking right behind him, a senior police officer said.

    Later, the two people seen on the CCTV were identified as Vineet Pawar and his sister Parul Chowdhary. Following which the woman was apprehended from Kanti Nagar in Krishna Nagar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (northeast) Joy Tirkey said.

    However, Vineet is still absconding.

    Vineet and Naz had eloped four-year-ago. They lived together, but never married, he said.

    In 2017, Vineet and his father Vinay Pawar were involved in a murder in Ramala Sugar Mill, Baghpat. They were convicted on October 25, 2019, and were awarded life imprisonment, the DCP said.

    Naz lived with Parul in Delhi when Vineet was in jail. After Vineet came out on bail on November 26, 2022, Naz started pressurising him for marriage but Vineet’s family was against it as Naz belonged to a different community, police said.

    Due to frequent fights, the brother-sister duo decided to sell off Naz. However, Naz sensed this hand retaliated. Then the duo decided to eliminate her, the DCP said.

    On the day of the incident, the couple fought over the issue of their marriage again and Vineet strangulated her and hid her body, Tirkey said.

    In the evening, Vineet called another man who came with a motorcycle, police said.

    Vineet took the body on his shoulder while Parul carried the victim’s clothes and a cloth that Vineet used to wrap the Naz’s body, police said.

    Vineet and his associate drove on the motorcycle with the body kept in between them for over 12 km looking for a place to dump it. They dumped it outside a house in Karawal Nagar and fled, police said.

    Thereafter, Vineet left for his village in Baghpat, while Parul began searching for rented accommodation as they planned on sell their house in Teliwara, Farsh Bazaar soon, police said.

    Efforts are being made to trace Vineet and his associate who had brought the motorcycle, they added.

  • Gupta brothers are still South African citizens: Motsoaledi

    Gupta brothers are still South African citizens: Motsoaledi

    [ad_1]

    Johannesburg: The South African government said on Friday that fugitive businessmen Rajesh and Atul Gupta are still its citizens using the country’s passports amid reports that Indian-origin brothers have acquired Vanuatu’s citizenship.

    South Africa said last week said that the UAE has turned down its request to extradite the two to face trial in the country on fraud and corruption charges.

    The three Gupta brothers, Ajay, Atul and Rajesh are wanted in South Africa for their alleged roles in the looting of billions of rands from state enterprises. They are alleged to have used their closeness to former President Jacob Zuma to do this.

    The family fled to Dubai five years ago as the net closed in on them following Zuma’s ousting by his own African National Congress when he refused to step down.

    “The Guptas are using South African passports, I just can’t tell when, because when you are a South African passport (holder) away from us, we won’t know. Our movement control system doesn’t show if you crossed into China (or anywhere else). It doesn’t show,” Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi said.

    The minister was reacting to media reports that the Guptas were now citizens of Vanuatu, a small island nation in the South Pacific Ocean east of Australia.

    Last week South African Justice Minister Ronald Lamola said his government was “shocked and dismayed” after the UAE declined the request to extradite the Gupta brothers to face trial in South Africa on fraud and corruption charges.

    Motsoaledi said the Guptas had acquired their passports irregularly from a corrupt home affairs official against whom action had been taken.

    But the Department has no plans yet to cancel their passports or revoke the citizenship of the Guptas as an appeal to the UAE on the extradition request would then be meaningless, Motsoaledi said,

    “We can’t take back the passport before we take away the citizenship. We have to start there. We are chasing them because we believe they belong to us. So, if we take away that citizenship, do we still have any rights?” the minister said.

    A report in the Vanuatu Daily Post said Vanuatu’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) had advised Vanuatu’s Citizenship Office on the hostile information against the corruption-accused fugitive brothers on two separate occasions in 2018.

    The Daily said the Vanuatu Citizenship Office and the Department of Immigration have declined to confirm or deny whether the Guptas are currently residing in Vanuatu.

    Previous reports indicated that the Guptas were seeking asylum in the African nations of Cameroon and the Central African Republic.

    Originally from Saharanpur in India, the Guptas built an empire in the IT, media and mining industries after first arriving in the country to start a shoe shop soon after Nelson Mandela was released from 27 years as a political prisoner to become the first democratically-elected president.

  • S Africa to appeal judgement by UAE court on extradition of Gupta brothers

    S Africa to appeal judgement by UAE court on extradition of Gupta brothers

    [ad_1]

    Johannesburg: South Africa will appeal the decision by a court of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to decline the extradition of the Indian-origin Gupta brothers to be tried in the country for fraud and money laundering, said Minister of Justice and Correctional Services Ronald Lamola.

    Lamola made the remarks on Friday at a virtual media briefing on updates about the extradition of Rajesh and Atul Gupta, reports Xinhua news agency.

    The brothers are also accused of influencing former President Jacob Zuma to appoint individuals to certain cabinet and government posts to facilitate corruption.

    The extradition was denied by a UAE court on February 13, and South Africa was informed on April 5, according to the Minister.

    “The reasons provided for denying our request are of a technical nature and fly in the face of the assurances given by Emirati authorities that our requests meet their requirements,” said Lamola.

    “This approach is inconsistent with Article 17 of the UN Convention Against Corruption, to which both nations are a signatory. Article 17 places a clear requirement on state parties to obtain clarity on a specific matter before refusing an extradition request.”

    The UAE court ruled that the arrest warrant relating to fraud was cancelled, Lamola said.

    On the charge of money laundering, the UAE court ruled the crime in question was alleged to have been committed in the country and South Africa, and they have the jurisdiction to prosecute that, according to Lamola, who added that his government would appeal against the decision.

    UAE rejects South Africa’s request for Gupta brothers’ extradition

    [ad_1]

    Johannesburg: South Africa said Friday that the UAE has turned down its request to extradite two brothers from the wealthy Indian-origin Gupta family to face trial in the country on fraud and corruption charges.

    The three Gupta brothers, Ajay, Atul and Rajesh, are wanted in South Africa for their alleged roles in the looting of billions of rands from state enterprises. They are alleged to have used their closeness to former president Jacob Zuma to do this.

    The South African government last year submitted a formal extradition application to the United Arab Emirates for Rajesh Gupta and Atul Gupta.

    MS Education Academy

    The family fled to Dubai five years ago as the net closed in on them following Zuma’s ousting by his own African National Congress when he refused to step down.

    Justice Minister Ronald Lamola says his government is “shocked and dismayed” after the UAE declined the request

    Lamola said he only learnt about the decision after his office enquired with the local UAE embassy, which said that they had received a note verbale stating this.

    “We learnt with shock and dismay that the extradition hearing had been concluded in the Dubai courts on February 13, 2023, and our extradition request was unsuccessful,” Lamola said.

    “The reasons provided are of a technical nature, and fly in the face of (earlier) assurances given by the UAE authorities that our request meets their requirements,” he said.

    Lamola said the decision would be appealed.

    Legal experts however said such an appeal would be to no avail, as the Gupta brothers are believed to now be in Switzerland.

    Originally from Saharanpur in India, the Guptas built an empire in the IT, media and mining industries after first arriving in the country to start a shoe shop soon after Nelson Mandela was released from 27 years as a political prisoner to become the first democratically-elected president.

    “We have complied with every letter of the extradition treaty that we have between ourselves and the UAE authorities. To ensure this compliance, we have even allowed the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to go to the UAE for engagements with their counterparts before the papers were submitted,” Lamola said at a media briefing.

    “The Central Authority in the UAE and the prosecution in the UAE confirmed that all our papers are in order. So from our side, we have complied and that is why we are bemused by this judgement that cites technicalities. We find it shocking,” he added.

    Lamola said that even if there was a technical issue, the UAE should have sought clarity from South Africa in line with Article 17 of the UN Convention Against Corruption, which requires consultation with the applicant country before a decision is taken.

    “We still intend to engage with our counterparts in the UAE to ensure that the decision of the court is promptly appealed, as well as to devise other mechanisms to deal with the matter. That discussion must also preserve the integrity of our bilateral relations,” Lamola said.

  • Protect your Muslim brothers: CM Mamata appeal to Hindus as Hanuman Jayanti nears

    Protect your Muslim brothers: CM Mamata appeal to Hindus as Hanuman Jayanti nears

    [ad_1]

    Khejuri: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee asked “Hindu brothers” to protect minorities and claimed that there are plans afoot for another round of violence in the state on Thursday when the nation celebrates Hanuman Jayanti.

    She also claimed that political workers carrying arms and bombs are deliberately taking out Ram Navami processions in minority areas even five days after the festival is over to incite violence.

    Banerjee’s comments came a day after clashes broke out between two groups of people during Ram Navami processions in Rishra and Serampore in the Hooghly district. These incidents followed another skirmish at Kazipara in Howrah on March 30, the day of the festival.

    MS Education Academy

    “I will entrust a responsibility to my Hindu brothers to see that minorities are not tortured on April 6 (Hanuman Jayanti),” Banerjee said while addressing a program here in Purba Medinipur district.

    Banerjee’s appeal to Hindus is reminiscent of Bangladesh’s founder Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s “Rukhe Darao” (Stand up in protest)” call in 1964 when communal disturbances were sweeping the then East Pakistan.

    The Trinamool Congress supremo also urged Hindus to give protection to the Scheduled Caste and Adivasi communities.

    Lashing out at Banerjee, senior BJP leader Rahul Sinha asserted that the TMC chief is making these statements after her party’s loss in the Sagardighi by-election, in which, he claimed, both Hindus and Muslims turned away from her party.

    “She is also providing a prior excuse so that if something goes wrong on April 6, she will be able to blame the BJP. This is a good ploy of Banerjee to cover up the wrongdoings of her party colleagues,” Sinha told PTI.

    CPI(M) central committee member Dr Sujan Chakraborty said that if Banerjee had the information regarding probable violence on Hanuman Jayanti, she could have held meetings with the administration to tighten the security measures instead of touring Purba Medinipur district.

    “She must meet the police to find out why these incidents took place and what could be done to tighten security measures,” Chakraborty said.

    Since last week, West Bengal has been witnessing incidents of vandalism and clashes over the festival. “Why will the processions continue for five days after Ram Navami? Do it on the day of the festival. We have never had objections But they cannot do rallies with guns and bombs, or without necessary permissions from the police,” Banerjee said.

    The Trinamool Congress supremo has been alleging that the BJP is behind the arson and clashes during Ramnavami proceedings. “They are deliberately entering minority areas to incite violence and create tension,” Banerjee claimed.

    Referring to the upcoming panchayat election in the state, the dates of which are yet to be announced, Banerjee alleged that the BJP and the CPI(M) have an “unholy alliance” and they should get a befitting reply.

    “Till the day I am alive, no one will be able to stop me from fighting for the people. I was with the people, I am with people and I will remain with people,” she said.

    While terming the BJP-led central government as “the most corrupt”, Banerjee asserted that it has stopped the release of funds due to her government.

    The chief minister is on a four-day trip to Purba Medinipore district from Monday. She is also scheduled to look into her party’s preparedness for the panchayat election.

  • Tate Brothers released from detention, placed under house arrest

    Tate Brothers released from detention, placed under house arrest

    [ad_1]

    Former kickboxing champion Andrew Tate has been released from detention and placed under house arrest in Romania, along with his brother Tristan Tate. The two brothers were detained by Romanian authorities in February 2023, after being accused of drug trafficking and other related charges.

    According to sources, Andrew and Tristan Tate have been moved to separate houses in the same area in Romania, and they will be monitored by local authorities. Andrew Tate’s lawyer confirmed the news of his client’s release from detention and expressed relief that he can now be with his family, albeit under strict conditions.

    “Mr. Tate is relieved to be out of detention and is grateful to the Romanian authorities for granting him house arrest. He looks forward to cooperating with the authorities to resolve this matter as soon as possible,” said the lawyer.

    The decision to release the Tate brothers from detention came after a judge in Romania reviewed the evidence against them and found that there was not enough to keep them in custody. However, the judge ordered that they remain under house arrest while the investigation continues.

    The Tate brothers have denied the allegations against them and have maintained their innocence throughout the ordeal. Andrew Tate has previously stated that he was in Romania to promote his new book and had no involvement in any illegal activities.

    Andrew Tate is a former world kickboxing champion and has also competed in mixed martial arts. He is known for his controversial views and has been involved in several controversies in the past, including being kicked off the reality TV show “Celebrity Big Brother” in 2016 for making offensive comments.

    Tristan Tate is also a kickboxer and has competed in various tournaments across the world. He is the younger brother of Andrew Tate and has been supporting him during the detention period.

    The case against the Tate brothers is ongoing, and it remains to be seen what the final outcome will be. However, with their release from detention and placement under house arrest, they can now be with their families and continue to fight their case.

    The Romanian authorities have not commented on the case, but sources suggest that they are investigating several other individuals in connection with the alleged drug trafficking ring. The investigation is ongoing, and more information is expected to come to light in the coming weeks.

  • Attending Slain Brother’s Anniversary, Man Died Of Heart Attack In South Kashmir

    [ad_1]

    SRINAGAR: The Muslims on Friday helped perform last rites of a Hindu who was on leave to attend first death anniversary of his brother killed by militants last year in Kakran area of south Kashmir’s Kulgam district.

    Balbir Singh (55), son of Surinder Singh, who was working in Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) died last evening by cardiac arrest at his home in Karkan area of Kulgam.

    He was posted at Amritsar but was on leave to attend death Anniversary of his brother who was killed by militants last year.

    Balbir’s family is the only Hindu Rajput family living in the village, and today his friends and the neighbours from the Muslim community took it upon themselves to help perform the last rites.

    They also shouldered his coffin and arranged wood for the cremation. “He was one of us. We never thought of him as a Rajput Hindu. We arranged everything needed for the cremation,” said Abdul Jabbar, a local resident.

    Meanwhile, officials of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) paid floral tributes to Balbir.

  • Can Shivaji, Afzal Khan be one? We can’t be brothers: Raja Singh at Solapur

    Can Shivaji, Afzal Khan be one? We can’t be brothers: Raja Singh at Solapur

    [ad_1]

    Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh at a rally in Solapur, Maharashtra organised by Hindu Janakroash Morcha once again called on Hindus to pick up arms against Muslims and pitched for an economic boycott against the community.

    Employing the word ‘Landya’ (an anti-Muslim slur), Singh said that Muslims “trap our sisters and daughters” and when the women are unwilling to be baby-producing machines, they are murdered.

    “We are neither scared of dying nor of killing them,” said Singh. Picking up a sheaf of paper while addressing the crowd, Singh remarked that one piece of paper would do nothing to silence him.

    Continuing to address the large crowd filled with a sea of saffron-clad men holding flags of the same colour, Singh says, “Those who don’t sing the praises of Bharat Mata, or sing Vande Mataram, or celebrate the anniversary of Chattrapati Shivaji… even those who killed our beloved Sambhaji, we will not purchase anything worth even one rupee from such gaddars (traitors).”

    “Can Shivaji and Afzal Khan (general of the Adil Shahi dynasty) become one? Can Maha Rana Prathap and Akbar be one? Can those who worship our mother cow and those who murder her be one?” he asks.

    “We sing Vande Mataram and they oppose it. Can we truly be brothers?”

    The crowd responds with a thunderous “Nahi” (No).

    Singh also spoke about Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s announcement of changing Aurangabad city’s name to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and Osmanabad city to Dharashiv.

    “Only few names have been changed so far. Many names will be changed shortly. In the coming few days, Ahmednagar’s name will also be changed. All the places named after these Landyas, will also be changed including Hyderabad,” he said.

    “No matter when you die, make sure you write history till your death. Fight love-jihadis, protect our mother cow till your death so that your sacrifice doesn’t go in vain. We will neither bend before our enemies or the police. We need people who can fight with us not those who sit at home wearing bangles. May we be free from Love Jihad! May not a drop of Mother cow’s blood touch the floor in India,” he said.

    Singh further added, “We need to make sure there are laws against love-jihad. If no laws are made against cow-laughter or love-jihad, every Hindu from India will cut the hand of those who slaughter the cow or perpetuate love-jihad.”

    The crowd cheered throughout Singh’s speech.

  • 7-year-old Syrian girl protects her brother’s head, stays for 17 hours under rubble

    7-year-old Syrian girl protects her brother’s head, stays for 17 hours under rubble

    [ad_1]

    Damascus: The images and scenes continue of the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria at dawn on Monday, leaving thousands dead and injured.

    In a video circulated on social media platforms, a Syrian girl appears under the rubble with her little brother, protecting her head for fear of him.

    The video clip showed the little girl placing her hand over her brother’s head and embracing him to the chest, and talking to a paramedic, who asked her about her little brother Aya and the toys in an attempt to calm her down until they were pulled out.

    The little girl said to the paramedic, “Uncle, “Pull me out and I will do whatever you want, I will be your servant!”

    On Tuesday, the United Nations representative, Mohammad Safa, who posted the photo on Twitter, indicated that the duo had been under the rubble for 17 hours and got out safely.

    “The 7-year-old girl who kept her hand on her little brother’s head to protect him while they were under the rubble for 17 hours has made it safely. I see no one sharing. If she were dead, everyone would share! Share positivity…” Safa tweeted.

    A 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Turkey and Syria at dawn on Monday, killing hundreds and thousands of injured, and destroying many buildings, which was felt by the residents of Egypt, Lebanon, and Cyprus.

    It is noteworthy that the total number of confirmed deaths in southeastern Turkey and Syria has risen to more than 6,000 as a result of the earthquake, which is the strongest in the region in nearly a century.
    The toll continues to rise, as a very large number of people are still under the rubble of the collapsed buildings.

    While the World Health Organization expected that the final outcome would be much greater than the announced non-final numbers.
