  • Raj Muslim men death: Community refuses last rites, demands compensation

    Raj Muslim men death: Community refuses last rites, demands compensation

    [ad_1]

    Jaipur: In wake of the discovery of the charred bodies of two local men in Haryana’s Rewari district on Friday, a community panchayat was held in Rajasthan’s Bharatpur where families of the deceased sought compensation of Rs 51 lakh and a government job each and refused to perform last rites till their demands were met.

    Many people from surrounding villages of Bharatpur reached Ghatmika village for the meeting, where Rajasthan Minister Zahida Khan was also present.

    Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, condemning the killing of Junaid, 35, and Nasir, 28, said that one accused has been detained in the case and search is on for remaining accused.

    “The killing of two residents of Bharatpur’s Ghatmika, in Haryana is condemnable. Rajasthan and Haryana Police are taking action in coordination. One accused has been detained and search is on for the remaining accused. Rajasthan Police has been directed to take strict action,” he said.

    Earlier, the family and society agreed on Rs 20 lakh compensation, but then refused to perform the last rites as soon as the minister returned. The families said that the amount of Rs 20 lakh is too less.

    Before this, community members held a meeting for three hours.

    Meanwhile, the minister also claimed that police had arrested one of the accused, while Gopalgarh police in Bharatpur identified the arrested accused as Rinku Saini.

    Ghatmika village is near Haryana border and Junaid’s cousin Ismail had registered a case of kidnapping and assault of both at Gopalgarh police station in Bharatpur on Wednesday. Now, charges of murder have been added.

    Bodies of both Junaid and Nasir reached Ghatmika village on Thursday night, after which there was pandemonium.

    Tension stkill prevails in the village and the police of three police stations have been alerted.

    The family alleged that their SUV was stopped on Wednesday morning, on the suspicion of cow-smuggling, after hitting the vehicle and the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) team of Ferozepur-Jhirka was present there. Both youths were first severely beaten, and handed over to Bajrang Dal team in a half-dead condition and taken to the police station. But the police refused to take them into custody after seeing their condition.

    Both were then burnt alive along with the Bolero and the bodies of the duo were found on Wednesday night near Loharu village of Bhiwani.

    At the same time, a claim is also being made that Junaid and Nasir were thrashed and kidnapped along with the SUV by some Bajrang Dal members from Piruka village in Bharatpur on Wednesday morning, before being burnt alive in Haryana. Police have however termed this allegation false.

  • Raj: SC asks govt to consider jailed couple’s request for IVF treatment to conceive child

    Raj: SC asks govt to consider jailed couple’s request for IVF treatment to conceive child

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: The Supreme Court has asked Rajasthan authorities to “sympathetically” consider a couple’s parole request for undergoing medical treatment to conceive a child.

    A bench of Justices Surya Kant and J.K. Maheshwari said: “As regard to parole, liberty is granted to the petitioners to apply for the same. The concerned authorities are directed to consider such a request made by the petitioners sympathetically and as per their policy and grant parole to them if there is no legal impediment. Needful shall be done within two weeks from the date of submission of such an application.”

    The couple is serving life term in an open jail in Rajasthan.

    The bench noted that the issue that arises for consideration is whether the petitioners are entitled to be released on parole as the first petitioner is required to take medical treatment to conceive a child. She is stated to be 45 years old and her present husband – petitioner No.2 is around 40 years old, noted the bench.

    “It is an open jail. Since petitioner No.1 is getting treatment from Geetanjali Medical College and Hospital, Udaipur, the authorities are ready and willing to shift the petitioners to open jail at Udaipur. It goes without saying that if the petitioners pray for such transfer, appropriate orders shall be passed within two weeks,” noted the bench, in its order passed on February 10.

    The couple had moved the apex court challenging the order passed in May last year by Rajasthan High Court, which dismissed their plea. The couple approached the high court seeking parole for having IVF (in virto fertilisation) treatment.

    The high court, in its order, had noted that the woman already has two children from the previous marriage and petitioners entered into a wedlock while on parole.

    Citing that the woman already has two children, the high court had observed that having a child through IVF cannot be considered as an emergent case for release on parole.

  • Politics starts over Saran violence, BJP says Jungle Raj is back in Bihar

    Politics starts over Saran violence, BJP says Jungle Raj is back in Bihar

    [ad_1]

    Patna: After the violence in Mubarakpur village in Saran, the BJP targeted the Mahagathbandhan government of Nitish Kumar for the return of Jungle Raj.

    BJP leader Neeraj Kumar Bablu went to Rubal hospital in Patna and met the injured persons.

    “The way three persons were brutally assaulted in Chapra, it indicates that Jungle Raj has returned to Bihar and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is responsible for it. People of one particular caste are showing aggression. The local police failed to arrest the accused. All these things are being done by the people protected by the ruling parties,” Bablu said.

    “Lalu Prasad Yadav had given the slogan of “Bhura Baal Saaf Karo” to target the Bhumihar caste. Now, it looks like the RJD has started the implementation of the slogan of Lalu Ji in Bihar. We condemn the brutal incident and demand from CM Nitish Kumar to ensure justice for the family members of the victims,” Bablu said.

    Neeraj Kumar, JD-U MLC and chief spokesperson said: “The incident that happened in Chapra was extremely brutal and painful. It has challenged law and order. Some of the accused have been arrested and the police are carrying out raids to nab the other accused. The way the victims were held hostage in one room and brutally assaulted by the husband of the village head (Mukhiya), it looks like they want to spread poison in the society.”

    “We will strongly act against the accused whoever they are. The local police have registered three FIRs so far and the statements of the injured persons have been recorded,” said Sunil Khopre, ADG (Law and Order) of the Bihar police.

    “We have arrested 6 persons so far. Some people are trying to disturb peace in the region. Hence, we have imposed a ban on Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook and other social media till 11 p.m. on February 8. If anyone uploads provocative posts on social media, they will face action,” said Jitendra Singh Gangwar, ADG (Headquarter).

    The incident happenned after three youths were held captive in a room on February 2 and assaulted by the men of Vijay Yadav, husband of the village head of Mubarakpur. One of the victims named Amitesh Kumar succumbed to his injuries on Monday.

    Following his death, the relatives and a section of the villagers attacked the houses of Vijay Yadav and his supporters and set them on fire. They went on the rampage and set ablaze every vehicle including bikes, tractors, cars and others.

    Following the violence and arson, the district police blocked off a four km radius area around Mubarakpur and deployed a large number of police personnel to bring the situation under control.

  • Delhi court orders attachment of Hurriyat’s Raj Bagh office

    [ad_1]

    Srinagar, Jan 28: A Delhi Court has ordered attachment of office of All Parties Hurriyat Conference at Raj Bagh, Srinagar.

    In an order, a copy of which is in possession of news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Shaliender Malik, additional sessions judge, New Delhi district, said the immoveable property i.e. building office of All Parties Hurriyat Conference is ordered to be attached.

    The Court said that the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act-1967 does not in any manner hinder powers of court to attach any such property of which accused is facing trial under the UAPA of which he may be partly owner.

    The court, however, added that the attachment in itself does not mean that there is any pre-trial conclusion regarding that property.

    The Court further said that among the different allegations and evidence, it was also the case that office of APHC was the place where meetings held to strategize different protests, funding activities of stone pelting on security forces, recruiting of unemployed youths to carry out unlawful activities as well as terrorist activities to create an unrest in the erstwhile state of Jammu & Kashmir to wage war against the Government of India.

    “In such situation taking into consideration the serious nature of the allegations as against A-5 itself, the fact that he is part owner of the property in question, cannot be a reason for not attaching the property when it is not even made clear as to who others were co-owners of that property,” the court said.

    The NIA had moved an application seeking passing of an order for attachment of building office of All Parties Hurriyat Conference situated at Raj Bagh, Srinagar—(KNO)
