    “I have allegedly videographed various defence and DRDO locations,” the letter stated. Abidi said that because of the FIR, he was called by the Kanchanbagh police station and thereafter by Special Branch Chatta Bazar by investigating officers named Sudarshan, Ravindra, Venu and Mehdi.

    “When the authorities found out that the allegations are far from the truth, false and fictitious, they assured me that action will be taken against the complainant,” Abidi wrote in his letter.

    However, Abidi’s problems did not end there. On November 23, 2022, he found out that police complaints were registered against him, his wife and his sisters alleging that they were a part of the alleged terror group Saraya Al Mukhtar and were ‘planning to attack consulates such as USA, UK, Bahrain etc’.

    “I was summoned multiple times and this continued till January 2023, and again after knowing that my family was being falsely accused, the authorities left us,” the letter stated.

    “Again a complaint was lodged against me by Uma Maheshwari alleging that I am associated with different terror organisations,” Abidi’s letter said.

    Abidi also found out that his personal details were exposed to the public through a tweet by Goshmahal MLA and suspended BJP leader T Raja Singh.

    “I started getting threatening messages from unknown numbers, whereby they are abusing me of filthy language and proclaiming to kill me,” Abidi stated in his letter.

  • Muslim man’s murder: 8 granted bail, 1 rejected in 2020 Delhi riots case

    Muslim man’s murder: 8 granted bail, 1 rejected in 2020 Delhi riots case

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: A court here has rejected the bail plea of an accused from whom the mobile phone of a man allegedly killed during the 2020 northeast Delhi riots was recovered, saying the finding was “circumstantial evidence” for the murder charge and “concrete evidence” for the offence of dishonestly receiving property stolen during dacoity.

    The court, meanwhile, allowed the bail plea of eight others in the case, saying “concrete and sound evidence” was not found against them.

    Additional Sessions Judge Pulastya Pramachala was hearing the bail pleas of Himanshu Thakur, Sahil Babu, Tinku, Sandeep, Vivek Panchal, Pankaj Sharma, Sumit Chaudhary, Prince and Ankit Chaudhary.

    According to the prosecution, the accused were part of an unlawful assembly formed on February 25 and 26, 2020 that bludgeoned to death a man named Mursaleen whose body was found floating in a drain near Johripur Tiraha.

    “The recovery of the mobile phone of the deceased from Himanshu Thakur and the evidence in the form of call detail record (CDR) to show its use by his family members subsequent to the killing of Mursaleen is a kind of circumstantial evidence in respect of the charge under section 302 (murder) read with section 149 (every member of unlawful assembly guilty of offence committed in prosecution of common object) of the Indian Penal code,” the judge said in an order passed on Monday.

    ASJ Pramachala said the recovery was also “concrete evidence” for the charge under section 412 ( dishonestly receiving property stolen in the commission of a dacoity) of the IPC.

    “Even section 412 is punishable up to life and hence, that charge cannot be treated as a lighter charge In these circumstances, keeping in view the severity of the charges and severity of the punishment provided for the same as well as the additional evidence his bail application is rejected,” the judge said.

    The judge said the evidence against Thakur was not the same as the co-applicants for bail and other accused who were granted bail earlier.

    Regarding the bail pleas of eight others, the judge said, “I do not find very concrete and sound evidence against the applicants in respect of alleged charges till this stage, and since all the material witnesses have already been examined, on the grounds of parity as well, it will not be appropriate to keep the applicants behind bars till the conclusion of the trial.”

    The judge then granted bail to Sahil Babu, Tinku, Sandeep, Vivek Panchal, Pankaj Sharma, Sumit Chaudhary, Prince and Ankit Chaudhary on furnishing a personal bond and surety bond of Rs 30,000 each along with one surety in the like amount.

    There are 12 accused in the case of whom co-accused Rishabh Chaudhary and Jatin Sharma were granted bail on March 7.

    The prime accused in the case, Lokesh Solanki, was allegedly a member of the Kattar Hindu Ekta’ WhatsApp group.

    The name of the WhatsApp group had surfaced in a supplementary charge sheet filed by Delhi Police on September 26, 2020 against nine people for the alleged murder of a man named Hashim Ali during the riots.

    According to the charge sheet, ‘Kattar Hindu Ekta’ group was created on February 25 and its alleged aim was to exact revenge for the troubles faced by Hindus and promote enmity between different groups on the ground of religion.

    Predecessor ASJ Virender Bhat had discharged the accused in the present case from the charge of criminal conspiracy for allegedly being a member of the group in March last year.

    The Gokalpuri police station had filed a charge sheet against the accused persons under various sections of the IPC, including rioting, murder and dacoity.

    New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party, which is campaigning across the country to connect with minority communities, especially the Muslim community, has claimed that the safety of Muslim women is the priority for the Narendra Modi-led Central government.

    In an attempt to convey the message that the government has done a big and historic work of providing equal rights and security to Muslim women by declaring triple talaq illegal through Parliament, the saffron party on Tuesday took to its Twitter account depicting the entire sequence of events declaring the practice as illegal.

    The video depicts the reactions of Muslim women along with the passing of the motion in the Rajya Sabha to declare triple talaq as illegal and the speech delivered by the Prime Minister from the ramparts of the Red Fort.

    Claiming to have empowered and protected Muslim women, the BJP wrote in a second tweet: “Triple Talaq law empowers and protects Muslim women!”

    The Triple Talaq Bill was passed in Parliament on July 30, 2019 making it illegal.

  • 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.

    The event has sparked agitation among locals and family members of the deceased, who are demanding justice for the offenders as soon as possible.

    According to journalist Imran Khan, one of the primary suspects in the case has been identified as Puneet Kerehalli, who has been booked along with other suspects by the police.

    The deceased’s family members have accused Puneet and his colleagues of being cow vigilantes and have demanded Rs 2 lakh to release Pasha or else they would murder him.

    Following Idrees Pasha’s gruesome death, his family members protested with his body, demanding action against Puneet Kerehalli and his colleagues. According to family members, Puneet mistreated and attacked Pasha, which resulted in his death.

    The police have opened a murder case under IPC Sections 302, 341 (wrongful restraint), and 504 based on a complaint lodged by family members (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace).

    The FIR stated that Idrees Pasha showed Puneet the purchase documentation, but he abused him and demanded Rs 2 lakh. Puneet allegedly asked Pasha to ‘Go back to Pakistan and then chased and beat him, resulting in Pasha’s death. Two of Pasha’s associates were also hurt in the event.

    The police arrived on the scene and pacified the agitated family members before handing over the body for a post-mortem examination.

    Who is Puneeth Kerehalli?

    Puneeth Kerehalli is closely linked to Chakravarty Sulibele, the founder of the ‘Yuva Brigade,’ and Pramod Muthalik, the head of the Sri Ram Sene.

    After news of the incident came to light, photographs of Puneet with several BJP stalwarts including Karnataka state ministers, South Bengaluru MP Tejaswi Surya, BJP national secretary CT Ravi surfaced online raising questions about his connections with the ruling Karnataka establishment.

    Right-wing leader Kajal Singhala alias Kajal Hindusthani targetted Muslim women by listing out the “benefits” of marrying into a Hindu household.

    Speaking at a recently concluded Ram Navami event organised by the Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) in Gir Somnath district of Gujarat, she said that Muslim women will gain a lot of freedom if married to a Hindu man.

    “I appeal to my Muslim sisters that if you get married to a Hindu man, there will be no co-wives to handle as well as you will not be treated as a child-bearing machine,” she said.

    Amid slogans and cheers, she added, “You (Muslim women) will be protected by Hindu men of the family. No one can force or have incest with you.”

    Kajal remarked on the burqa by saying Muslim women are free to wear any attire if converted to Hinduism. “You do not need to wear a burqa at 45-degree celsius heat,” she said.

    On bearing children, Kajal said they won’t be labeled as terrorists. “After marrying a Hindu man, your children will not be called ‘terrorists’.
