Supreme Court sides with New Jersey in dispute over port police agency

[ad_1]

The high court sided with New Jersey.
During oral arguments in March, justices were clearly willing to allow New Jersey to exit the deal; they were only trying to figure out how to do so without creating precedent that might disrupt other multistate deals, like those setting boundaries and setting water rights.
In a short, 11-page ruling, Kavanaugh distinguishes this deal, known as a compact, from such water rights cases and ruled “it would not make much sense to conclude that each State implicitly conferred on the other a perpetual veto of withdrawal” in this deal.
After the oral arguments, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, both Democrats, had their staffs start meeting to figure out how to maintain ongoing investigations, enforcement actions and operations in anticipated of a ruling in New Jersey’s favor.

NHRC issues notice to UP Police over killing of Atiq Ahmad, brother

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued a notice to the Uttar Pradesh Police over the killing of gangster-politician Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf when they were being escorted by police in Prayagraj, officials said on Tuesday.
In its notice to the Director General of Police of Uttar Pradesh and the Commissioner of Police of Prayagraj, the commission sought reports from them within four weeks.
The reports should cover all the aspects leading to the killings, copies of medical-legal certificates of the deceased, inquest report, post-mortem report, video cassette/CD of post-mortem examination, site plan of scene of occurrence of the crime, and magisterial enquiry report, it added.

Ahmad and Ashraf were shot dead at point-blank range by three men posing as journalists in the middle of a media interaction on Saturday night when police personnel were escorting them to a medical college in Prayagraj for a checkup.
They were brought to Prayagraj from Gujarat and Bareilly prisons for interrogation in connection with the killing of Umesh Pal and his two police security guards earlier this year.
The brothers were in handcuffs when they were killed in full view of camera crews. The horrifying visuals were circulated widely on social media platforms and television channels. The last rites of Ahmad’s son Asad, who was gunned down in a police encounter in Jhansi on April 13, were performed in Prayagraj just hours before the shooting.

UP: Man who shot dead woman in broad daylight injured in police firing

[ad_1]
A day after a 20-year-old woman was shot dead in broad daylight in the Jalaun district of Uttar Pradesh, the accused was injured during police firing on Tuesday night.
On April 17, Roshni Ahirwar, a Bachelor of Arts (BA) student, was returning home after taking a test at her college when two men on a motorbike shot her dead with a handmade gun. They left the murder weapon near her body and fled.
Siasat.com spoke to Jalaun Superintendent of Police Iraj Raja who informed the accused – Raj Ahirwar – is being treated at the Government Medical College, Orai in Jalaun.

“Roshni’s relatives named Raj as the accused in their complaint. When the police went to arrest him, he started firing. In response, we fired back. Raj received two bullet injuries on his back and is currently being treated, ” the SP said.
The senior police officer also told Siasat.com that Raj and Roshni were in a relationship for over a year.
“Since they belonged to the same caste, their families had no objection to their affinity. They were even talks about marriage. However, two months ago, the couple had disagreements after which Roshni decided to break up with Raj,” SP Raja said.
According to the SP, Raj could not digest the breakup and started following Roshni by calling her constantly and through social media. Roshni however tried to ignore Raj’s advances.
Unable to accept that breakup, Raj decided to murder Roshni, the SP said.

Amid reports of Raj’s death in the cross-firing with the police, the SP stated that the former is alive and is being currently treated for his injuries. He also said that the couple were not engaged.
A case under sections 302 (Murder) and 506 (Punishment for criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Roshni’s murder comes days after gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf were shot dead on LIVE television amid police security in Prayagaraj.
The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) also shared the disturbing video clip on Twitter and targeted the UP government. “Will the wolves of Godi media and the BJP also celebrate this death?” the party wrote in the caption, in an apparent swipe at celebratory coverage of Atiq’s murder.

2 men charged with running covert Chinese ‘police station’ in Manhattan

[ad_1]

The station identified Monday occupied an entire floor of an office building in Manhattan’s Chinatown before closing in 2022, according to prosecutors. During its operation, it was tasked with “helping locate a person of interest” to the Chinese government, prosecutors said.
The defendants were set to appear in court Monday afternoon.
Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said the case “reveals the Chinese government’s flagrant violation of our nation’s sovereignty.”
“Such a police station has no place here in New York City — or any American community,” Peace said in a statement Monday.
Brooklyn federal prosecutors also unsealed two other related cases Monday: one charging 34 officers of China’s national police with harassing Chinese nationals in New York and elsewhere in the U.S., and another charging eight Chinese government officials with directing an employee of a U.S. telecommunications company to remove Chinese dissidents from its platform.
Prosecutors described the 34 officers as having created a “troll farm” consisting of thousands of fake online personas on social media sites, including Twitter, to target Chinese nationals living in the U.S. who held political views in opposition to those of the People’s Republic of China or who promoted democracy in China.

White House threatens to veto GOP bills reversing D.C. police reforms, restricting transgender athletes

[ad_1]
The bill “targets people for who they are and therefore is discriminatory,” the White House’s Office of Management and Budget wrote. “Politicians should not dictate a one-size-fits-all requirement that forces coaches to remove kids from their teams.”
The statement notes that local schools, coaches and athletic associations are already working on participation rules for transgender children. A national ban would disrupt that more nuanced process, it said.
The threats come ahead of House Republicans’ plan to bring the two proposals to the floor as early as this week in their latest bid to advance agenda items that force congressional Democrats into politically tough votes.
House Democrats had sought strongly worded veto threats from the administration, particularly when it came to the transgender sports bill, several Hill aides said.
Democrats are also trying to avoid a repeat of the confusion over Biden’s position on GOP-led bills that prompted many lawmakers to vote against an earlier policing reform rollback in February — only to see Biden decide to support the measure weeks later.

Atiq killing: Accused Arun Maurya was booked in two cases in Panipat, says police

[ad_1]
Chandigarh: Arun Maurya, one of the accused arrested in the killing of gangster-politician Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf, was booked for possession of illegal weapons in Haryana’s Panipat last year, officials said on Monday.
Maurya was booked under the Arms Act in February, 2022 and in another case in May that year, they said, adding that he was also jailed.
The accused had been living intermittently in Haryana’s Panipat and his native village Kadarwadi at Kasganj in Uttar Pradesh, a senior police official said.

“Maurya had two cases registered against him in 2022,” Panipat Superintendent of Police Ajit Singh Shekhawat told PTI over phone.
“One of the cases was registered under provisions of the Arms Act for possession of illegal weapon in February 2022, while the other case was registered in May over some fight,” he said.
Asked about Maurya’s age when he was first booked under the Arms Act in Panipat, the SP replied, “As per our records, he was around 18-years-old.”
He was on bail in both the cases, the officer said.
Shekhawat added that although Maurya’s family belongs to Kasganj, his grandfather had been working in Panipat.

According to Maurya’s uncle, Sunil, the accused had done his matriculation.
Sunil, who lives in Panipat, told reporters that the accused has a 12-year-old brother who is a student.
Sunil said he had gone to their native village recently and learnt that Maurya told his family that he was going to Delhi to attend a friend’s wedding.
On the murder of Atiq and his brother, the accused’s uncle said the family got to know about the incident after the Haryana police reached their house in Panipat to inquire about Maurya.
Ahmad (60) and his brother Ashraf were shot dead at point-blank range by the three men posing as journalists in the middle of a media interaction Saturday night while police personnel were escorting them to a medical college in Prayagraj for a checkup.
The assailants — Lavlesh Tiwari (22) of Banda, Mohit alias Sunny (23) of Hamirpur and Maurya — were arrested soon after the dramatic shootout that took place in full view of camera crews outside the Prayagraj hospital.
According to the FIR, the assailants told police that they killed the brothers to make a name for themselves in the world of crime.

‘Govt forcing police to deny hunger strike’, YSRTP to knock court doors

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: YSR Telangana party on Monday said that it would knock on court doors to get permission for Telangana Students’ Action for Vacancies and Employment’s (T-SAVE) day-long hunger strike at Indira Park, which was refused by the city police earlier.
Addressing the media after the political affairs committee meeting, YSRTP official spokesperson Gattu Ramachandra Rao said, “This is completely shocking and a sorry picture where YS Sharmila is repeatedly being targeted because chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao is now scared of her fight and commitment towards Telangana”.
The YSRTP spokesperson said that the CM KCR’s treatment of those who raised their voices against his failures and fake promises was atrocious and dictatorial. Rao claimed that the state government is forcing the Hyderabad police to refuse permission to a T-SAVE hunger strike.

He said that the party is tirelessly fighting for the cause and the rights of the unemployed. “Not only is the state government silent and arrogant, but they are also depriving us of our right to fight and protest,” alleged Rao.
He said that it is shameful that a democratic setup does not let the partymen enter their own party office.
“T-SAVE was proposed as a common platform and we had decided to conduct a hunger strike, for a day near Indira Park. This plea was rejected by the city police. Is this fair on KCR who owes his party’s emergence and existence to public movements and people’s protests?” he added.
“Didn’t KCR also conduct protests at Indira Park? Why different rules for Bharat Sashtra Samithi (BRS) and other parties?” added Ramachandra Rao.
He said that the YSRTP will approach the court to obtain permission to conduct the day-long hunger strike. “We have the support of 39 social organisations and other political parties as well. When BRS can carry out dharnas in Delhi, why does it pose obstacles for other parties in Telangana? Isn’t it because they are scared?” said the party spokesperson.

The hunger strike was announced at T-SAVE’s inaugural roundtable meeting on April 10. YSRTP leader Sharmila had announced that her party will stage a hunger strike for a day at Indira Park to “bring this government to task” and put pressure and force it to deliver justice to the youth.

Kerala police to invoke UAPA on main accused in train arson case

[ad_1]
Kozhikode: Kerala police has decided to invoke provisions of the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act against the main accused in the train arson incident that resulted in the loss of three lives.

2 weeks before killing, Atiq moved SC for protection in UP police custody

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Two weeks before gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad was shot dead while under police escort in Prayagraj, the Supreme Court had dismissed his plea seeking protection during his custody with the Uttar Pradesh Police in the Umesh Pal murder case.
Ahmad (60) and his brother Ashraf were shot dead at point-blank range by three men posing as journalists in the middle of a media interaction on Saturday night while police personnel were escorting them to a medical college for a checkup.
On March 28, the apex court had dismissed Ahmad’s plea for protection and observed that the Uttar Pradesh state machinery would take care of his protection in case of a threat to his life.

When Atiq’s plea had come up for hearing before the top court, a bench of Justices Ajay Rastogi and Bela M Trivedi granted him liberty to approach the Allahabad High Court for protection after he had claimed that his life was under threat while being in the custody of the Uttar Pradesh Police.
“Since he is in judicial custody, the Uttar Pradesh state machinery will take care of his protection in case of threat to his life,” the court had said, refusing to record the former Samajwadi Party MP’s counsel’s vehement requests that his life is under threat.
“It is not a case where this court is going to interfere. Liberty granted to move appropriate application before the high court. Whatever is the process prescribed under law will be followed,” the bench had said.
Atiq had sought protection claiming that he and his family have been falsely “roped in” as accused in the Umesh Pal murder case in Prayagraj.
Umesh Pal, a key witness in the 2005 killing of then BSP MLA Raju Pal, and his two security guards were killed in a shooting on February 24.

In his plea, Ahmad, who was earlier lodged at the Ahmedabad central jail in Gujarat pursuant to the apex court’s direction, had referred to the statement made by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on the floor of the assembly to “completely ruin and destroy” him and claimed there is a “genuine and perceptible threat” to his and his family members’ lives.
