Salman Khan death threat: Mumbai Police issues lookout notice against accused

[ad_1]
Mumbai: Mumbai Police has issued a lookout circular (LOC) against a man accused of sending threatening email to actor Salman Khan.
As per the officials, the man allegedly emailed threatening messages to the ‘Dabangg’ star in the name of gangster Goldy Brar in March.
Salman, who has been receiving death threats for a long time now, recently opened up about how he is dealing with it.

During an appearance at India TV’ show ‘Aap Ki Adalat’, Salman also spoke about the Y+ category security which he received by Mumbai Police amid the death threat.
“Security is better than insecurity. Yes security is there. Now it is not possible to ride a bicycle on the road and go alone anywhere. And more than that, now I have this problem that when I am in traffic, then there is so much security, vehicles creating inconvenience to other people. They also give me a look. And my poor fans. There is a serious threat that’s why there is security,” he said.
Salman added, “I am doing whatever I have been told. There is a dialogue ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ ‘they have to be lucky 100 times, I have to be lucky once’. So, I got to be very careful.”
He admitted that he often gets scared seeing “so many guns ” around him.
“I am going everywhere with full security. I know whatever is going to happen will happen no matter what you do. I believe that (points towards god) that he is there. It is not that I will start roaming freely, it is not like that. Now there are so many Sheras around me, so many guns are going around with me that I am myself scared these days,” Salman shared.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Salman will be seen sharing screen space with Katrina Kaif in ‘Tiger 3’, which will hit the theatres this Diwali.

Russia launches biggest ever ‘kamikaze’ drone attack on Ukraine

[ad_1]
Kiev: Air raid sirens have sounded across Ukraine after Russia launched the biggest ever “kamikaze” drone attack on Kiev since Moscow waged its war in February 2022.
In capital Kiev, Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said nearly 60 drones had been launched by Russia on Monday, adding that 36 were destroyed, the BBC reported.
Klitschko added that five people had been injured by falling debris from downed drones.

This was the fourth attack in eight days on Kiev and came just 24 hours before Russia’s Victory Day, which commemorates the erstwhile Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany during World War Two.
Emergency services responded after drone wreckage fell on a runway at Zhuliany international airport — one of the capital city’s two commercial airports, Kiev’s military administration said.
Civilians were injured after drone debris hit a residential building in the central Shevchenkivskyi district, the administration added.
Meanwhile in the Black Sea port city of Odesa, a warehouse was set ablaze after eight missiles were fired at targets by Russian bombers, the BBC quoted Ukrainian officials as saying.
In a statement, Ukraine’s Red Cross said its warehouse with humanitarian aid was destroyed and all aid deliveries had to be suspended.

Natalia Humeniuk, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s Southern Command, later said a body of a security guardwas pulled from the wreckage.
Missile strikes were also reported in the Kherson, Kharkiv and Mykolaiv regions.
At least eight people, including a child, were injured in two villages in Kherson.

UP Shia Waqf Board to launch housing scheme for community

[ad_1]
Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh Shia Waqf Board will launch a scheme to provide houses to people from weaker sections of the community on its vacant lands and those freed from encroachment.
The housing scheme will be launched by the board soon, said Ali Zaidi who completed one year as the board’s chairman on Monday.
This is for people from weaker sections within the Shia community, he told PTI and added that under the scheme, the board will provide its vacant land and those freed from encroachment to selected people for constructing a house in a 350 square feet area.

Zaidi said a committee of the board will get the house constructed and its cost will have to be deposited by the allottee in fixed instalments. The board will charge a nominal amount for the maintenance of the house, he said.
The Uttar Pradesh Shia Waqf Board’s chairman said the eligibility criteria under this scheme would be similar to those of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. The beneficiaries will be selected through a lottery, he said.
The board aims at providing housing to lower-middle-class people living in rented accommodations and have not yet been able to get a house of their own constructed, Zaidi said.
Besides people getting houses, the income of the Waqf Board will also increase through this scheme, he said.
Zaidi said the scheme will be launched at the Imdad Hussain Karbala in Lucknow. For now, Lucknow, Amroha, Jaunpur, Bijnor and Muzaffarnagar have been selected for this scheme as these places have a large Shia population and Waqf land is in abundance, he said.

He said apart from this, the board is also planning to allot plots in commercial areas.
The board chairman claimed that Waqf properties are “soft targets” for the land mafia and said gangsters like Atiq Ahmad and Mukhtar Ansari had also occupied its properties
Zaidi said in his one-year tenure as chairman, the annual income of the board has increased from Rs 37 lakh to Rs 1.47 crore.

Atiq’s widow Shaista now officially a ‘mafia’ in UP

[ad_1]
Prayagraj: The Prayagraj police has designated slain gangster politician Atiq Ahmed’s widow, Shaista Parveen as a ‘mafia’ for the first time in an FIR lodged on May 2 in connection with the arrest of one Mohd Atin Jafar, who was arrested for sheltering her and Sabir, a listed shooter of Atiq gang.
Besides the Umesh Pal murder case, Shaista has been named in seven other cases, including five of forgery and cheating, lodged at different police stations of the state.
Both Shaista and Sabir, also named in the Umesh Pal murder, are supposed to be on the run together and police have announced a cash reward for anyone providing information leading to their arrest.

While Sabir carries a cash reward of Rs 5 lakh, Shaista has a reward of Rs 50,000./
SHO Dhoomanganj Rajesh Kumar Maruya, in his FIR lodged with the Dhoomanganj police station against Mohd Atin Jafar on May 2, claimed that Jafar, who used to stay at Atiq’s slain son, Mohd Asad’s Mahanagar flat in Lucknow, had returned to his house in Prayagraj once police started tightening the noose around the members of Atiq gang, following the killing of lawyer Umesh Pal on February 24.
The SHO further claimed in the FIR that Jafar had allegedly offered shelter to Shaista and her shooters.
After the killing of gangster brothers, Atiq and Ashraf, on April 15, Shaista and shooter Sabir had stayed at the house of Jafar in Prayagraj on April 16 as they wanted to attend the burial of the gangster brothers.
They, however, changed their plan after apprehending their arrest and police action.

The FIR also revealed that Jafar’s father, Jafar Ullah, currently lodged at Lucknow jail in connection with businessman Mohit Agrawal assault case inside Deoria jail, was a close associate of Atiq.
Moreover, Mohd Umar, another son of Atiq, was also lodged at Lucknow jail on the same charges.
Meanwhile, fugitive Shaista continues to give sleepless nights to the sleuths of Special Task Force of UP Police and Prayagraj Commissionerate police since February 24.
Police sources claimed that Shaista had stopped using mobile phones and was continuously changing her location.
