NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police on Monday has significantly enhanced security arrangements for chief minister Rekha Gupta in the wake of recent attack on her. Forty personnel will now be permanently deployed for her protection and visitors will undergo multiple friskings before being allowed entry to any of her events.Initially, the Union home ministry had directed the CRPF to provide Z-category security cover to the chief minister. However, this arrangement has been withdrawn and the Delhi Police has taken over her protection, upgrading it to Z+ cover with additional personnel.

Delhi CM Rekha Gupta Attacked during Jan Sunwai, Attacker rajesh khimji nabbed by police

“Over 40 personnel will always be there to guard the CM. A robust security arrangement has been put in place for the Delhi CM. Stringent checks will be carried out in all her programmes,” a senior police officer said.The security measures cover Gupta’s ‘Jan Sunwai’ programmes, where she was attacked on August 20 at her Civil Lines camp office.“Every visitor will be thoroughly frisked and verified before entering the premises. We have designed a layered system of security so that no lapse is possible,” the officer added.The chief minister will now be guarded under a two-circle security system, entirely managed by the Delhi Police. The inner circle includes two armed bodyguards positioned slightly ahead of Gupta to shield her in case of any threat, while other bodyguards maintain a 360-degree vigil to identify risks early. The outer circle manages public access, frisking and crowd control during her events.The attack on Delhi CM has been described by her office as a “well-planned conspiracy to kill her.” Investigations have made progress, with two arrests so far. The prime accused, Rajeshbhai Khimji, 41, an auto-rickshaw driver from Rajkot, Gujarat, allegedly carried out the attack, while his associate Tehseen, who allegedly financed and coordinated the incident, has also been arrested.Police sources said Khimji did not act alone and had planned the attack with intent to harm the chief minister. “We are questioning over 10 people associated with Khimji. The motive is being investigated thoroughly, and more names may emerge as the investigation progresses,” a police officer involved in the probe said.Enhanced security will cover all Gupta’s public interactions, which often attract large crowds.“The safety of the chief minister cannot be compromised. We have drawn up strict guidelines for all her future programmes. From access control to the positioning of security personnel, everything will be closely monitored,” the officer added.

J&K government takes over schools affiliated to banned Jamaat | India News

J&K government takes over schools affiliated to banned Jamaat
The decision was taken after reports revealed the managing committees had expired or were adversely reported upon by security agencies

SRINAGAR: Jammu & Kashmir government ordered on Friday the “takeover of the managing committees of 215 schools affiliated with the proscribed Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) and its educational wing Falah-e-Aam Trust (FAT)”.The order cites concerns flagged by intelligence agencies that they were found directly or indirectly affiliated with proscribed JeI and FAT. Deputy commissioners will take over management and take appropriate steps to ensure the “academic career” of the students is not affected in any manner, the order says.The order, issued late Friday, drew strong reactions in the Valley. “Shame and shamelessness have assumed new meanings in this govt,” Peoples Conference chairman Sajad Lone wrote on X.PDP legislator Waheed Parra said Omar Abdullah’s govt “should leave schools at least”, and described the order as “unfortunate, undemocratic and derogatory”.“They are setting new standards in servility… Be under no illusions. This elected govt is party to all acts undertaken. Be it mailings or termination of employees, they are equal partners…,” Lone said, calling NC BJP’s A-team. According to the order issued by Ram Niwas Sharma, secretary, school education department, the decision was taken after reports revealed the managing committees of these schools had expired or were adversely reported upon by security agencies. J&K education minister Sakina Itoo told TOI that the order had many mistakes that would be corrected. “We have directed that the nearest govt principal will look after these schools, and the order will be reviewed after three months. Both students and teachers of these schools will remain in place.”“We never stated that the deputy commissioner concerned will take over these schools. It is the nearest govt school principal who will look after it… There is no takeover and there is no role of deputy commissioners,” the minster said.The larger issue is that there are 55,000 students and a significant number of teachers in these schools, she said, adding the Board of School Education was refusing to accept their examination forms after Jamaat-e-Islami was banned, putting children’s futures at risk.


TMC differs with opposition over joining JPC on bills to sack PM, CMs | India News

TMC differs with opposition over joining JPC on bills to sack PM, CMs
West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee

NEW DELHI: After the united outrage by opposition against the Constitution amendment bill that provides for automatic sacking of ministers and CMs jailed for 30 days, INDIA bloc is forced to wait to nominate MPs to the parliamentary panel to scrutinise the legislation in view of Trinamool Congress’s reluctance to join it.Sources said TMC was pushing for boycott of the JPC, but the rest of the opposition wanted to be on the panel to ensure that Modi government did not get a free run on “the weapon to target the opposition-ruled states”.Congress, which is sure to get 4-5 seats on the panel, and allies are waiting for TMC to convey a final decision, sources said, adding that DMK and SP, too, have conveyed their willingness.The issue flared up at an INDIA bloc meeting Wednesday, when the three bills tabled by home minister Amit Shah triggered a fracas in Lok Sabha. A senior TMC neta advocated that the opposition should stay away from the JPC. But the argument was countered by a smaller party member who said that JPC was the only platform where the opposition could make an alternative case and even register dissent. The Trinamool member underlined that govt ultimately has its way, like in the JPC on Waqf bill. However, in response, it was pointed out that the JPC proceedings served a big purpose as Supreme Court mentioned them in its hearings on the challenge to the Waqf (Amendment) Act.While the opposition managed to stay united in the monsoon session, the three bills presented on the penultimate day created some fissures. INDIA decided to join the discussion at the “introduction stage” to oppose its tabling by painting it as a BJP weapon against rivals, but TMC said upfront that it was under directions to protest from the word go.

'Illegal' in India, jailed in Bangladesh: 'Nowhere woman' prays for miracle | India News

'Illegal' in India, jailed in Bangladesh: 'Nowhere woman' prays for miracle

KOLKATA: In another life, Sunali Khatun could have been a version of Manto’s Toba Tek Singh, a man with no country to call his own. Pushed into Bangladesh by police in India who labelled her an illegal immigrant, police in Bangladesh have now done the same thing to her – called her an illegal immigrant and jailed her. She is eight months pregnant.Birbhum resident Sunali, expecting a child any time now, was escorted into a Bangladesh jail on Friday not knowing to which country her unborn baby would belong.The 26-year-old’s Aadhaar and voter identity card hadn’t saved her from being branded an “illegal immigrant” in Delhi, where she was working until recently. On Thursday, cops in Chapai Nawabganj arrested her based on those very identity documents.Sunali, her ragpicker husband Danish Sheikh and the couple’s toddler son Sabir are now among six “nowhere people” with roots in West Bengal but disowned by their country and incarcerated in Bangladesh. The others are Sweety Biwi and her sons Qurban Sheikh (16) and Imam Dewan (6).The befuddled bunch had been living and working in Delhi’s Rohini – earning just enough to keep afloat – when they were arrested during an “identity verification drive” and sent to Bangladesh through Assam on June 26.“The group of six was arrested after they were found loitering in Chapai Nawabganj. They told us they were Indians who entered Bangladesh through the Kurigram border (in Assam), roamed the streets of Dhaka for some days, and then reached here. They didn’t have a lawyer during Friday’s court hearing,” Chapai Nawabganj police superintendent Md Rezaul Karim told TOI on Friday.Unless someone takes up cudgels for them, Sunali, her family and the rest of the group will remain in prison till the next hearing scheduled in September. Karim said all six had been charged under the Control of Entry Act, 1952.Sunali’s father Bhodu Sk, who has filed a habeas corpus in Calcutta high court, said it was shocking to even think that his heavily pregnant daughter might give birth in jail. “We are poor. We have moved the high court, what else can be done?” he said.Arif Sk, a neighbour of the family in Bengal’s Birbhum, said everyone has pooled in to try and arrange a lawyer in Bangladesh to bail out the group from their village.Bhodu and co-petitioner Amir Khan, who is Sweety Khatun’s cousin, said in their petition that what happened was a “betrayal of law”. The high court is scheduled to hear the case on Sept 10.A PIL has been filed in Supreme Court on the alleged harassment of Bengali-speaking migrants in India, including Sunali’s “illegal deportation”. The PIL has been listed for hearing on Aug 29.Bengal migrant welfare board chairperson and Rajya Sabha MP Samirul Islam said, “We are making every effort to bring back Sunali and the others. We are also providing the family legal help.”Meanwhile, on Aug 13, 22-year-old Malda migrant labourer Amir Sheikh, who was pushed into Bangladesh on June 25, returned to India, his reappearance as mysterious as his disappearance from the country of his birth. Amir had been stuck in Bangladesh since June 25, prompting his father – Jiyem Sheikh – to file a habeas corpus in the HC. He said Rajasthan Police had arrested him for being a “Bangladeshi living in India illegally”.BSF told the court a couple of hours after Amir’s return through the Basirhat border that he had crossed over to Bangladesh “inadvertently”.

We’ll just see how it goes from there.” Translation: Patrick Mahomes will be out there with the first unit, but his playing time will depend on how quickly the team settles in.

Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid Talks After Wednesday Practice

It’s a classic Andy Reid move, giving the top guys a chance to knock off some rust, but not risk unnecessary injuries with the regular season less than two weeks away.

Patrick Mahomes has barely played in the preseason so far

Through two games, Patrick Mahomes has only thrown one pass back in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals. Sitting him, along with Travis Kelce and Chris Jones, in the second preseason game left fans antsy, but the long-term plan has always been about keeping the stars fresh for when it matters.Friday night’s appearance will likely be short and sweet, but even a handful of snaps gives Patrick Mahomes a chance to sharpen his timing with receivers and test the offensive line against live competition.The Chiefs aren’t trying to win preseason trophies, they’re trying to defend their championship window. That means careful management of their biggest names. Andy Reid’s strategy of mixing rest with targeted live reps ensures that players like Mahomes, Kelce, and Jones enter Week 1 healthy while still carrying some real-game rhythm.Fans shouldn’t expect a four-quarter performance, this is more like a warm-up. But even a brief glimpse of the two-time MVP should be enough to light up Arrowhead one last time before the season kicks off.The Bears game isn’t about the score, it’s about preparation. Coaches will evaluate depth, tweak rotations, and watch how the offense and defense settle in with the starters leading the way.For Mahomes, it’s one final chance to lock in before the Week 1 opener. And for the fans, it’s a short but sweet preview of the firepower that will carry Kansas City into another season chasing the Lombardi.Also read – Eric Dickerson claims NFL told teams not to draft Shedeur Sanders, fueling conspiracy around Browns rookie

NHAI terminates contract of toll agency whose staff assaulted jawan

New Delhi: The NHAI has terminated the contract of the toll collection agency for Bhumi toll plaza in Meerut where an Army jawan was beaten up by its employees. The highways authority has also blacklisted the contractor and barred it from participating in future bids for one year.Earlier, the NHAI had slapped a Rs 20-lakh interim penalty on M/s Dharam Singh, the toll collecting agency for the Bhuni Toll Plaza on Meerut-Karnal section of NH-709A, a day after a verbal altercation between the army jawan and toll staff led to the former being assaulted. The authority had also issued it a show cause notice.In its reply, the firm admitted that at around 8 pm on Aug 17 a verbal altercation occurred between an army jawan and its toll staff, which “escalated into a physical confrontation”. It claimed, “This initial skirmish was not initiated by our staff, who were adhering to standard protocols for fee collection as per Clause 23(a) of the contract, which mandates efficient user fee collection without undue harassment.”The NHAI said that since the toll collecting agency had admitted to the incident and an FIR had been filed, it did not find the response satisfactory.Amid instances of such altercation between toll plaza employees and commuters, the NHAI is pushing for the rollout of Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF), which will eliminate the need for physical toll barriers.Earlier, the highways authority had issued a Standard Operating Procedure for toll operators and user fee collecting agencies, outlining the dos and don’ts.

CJI on HC ex-judge: SC quashed all his judgments, fortunately he has retired

NEW DELHI: “Fortunately, the (HC) judge has demitted office,” said CJI B R Gavai on Friday while recalling the torrid time SC judges had in deciphering the incomprehensible language and reasoning in the judgments of Justice Sureshwar Thakur, who retired on May 17.The CJI and Justice K Vinod Chandran were hearing appeals filed by three men against an October 1, 2024, judgment of a Punjab and Haryana HC bench led by Thakur, who had reversed the trial court’s decision to acquit them in a murder case. Advocates Sidharth Dave and Narender Hooda, appearing for the accused and complainant, respectively, were also perplexed by Thakur’s judgment and agreed to the CJI’s suggestion that Haryana govt’s appeal against the acquittal was needed to be decided afresh by HC. When CJI asked for Hooda’s view on the proposition, he said there have been problems with the judge’s verdicts, with many of his decisions having been overturned by SC. To this, CJI said, “It is not ‘many’. Every decision of the judge, which was challenged in SC, had been overturned. Fortunately, he has demitted office”. A paragraph from the conclusion of the Oct-1 judgment of Justice Thakur’s read: “Consequently, when therebys the above evident facts rather do not fall foul of the above stated/underlined principles in the verdicts (supra). Consequently, both the disclosure statement, and, the consequent thereto recoveries, when do become efficaciously proven, therebys theretos immense evidentiary tenacity is to be assigned. Preeminently also when thus they do corroborate the rendition of credible eye witness account vis-a-vis the crime event. Moreover, when the memos (supra) also lend corroboration also to the medical account, therebys through all the links (supra), the charge drawn against the accused becomes proven to the hilt.”Three months ago, another judgment of Thakur’s declaring a provision of National Highways Act unconstitutional had posed similar problems for an SC bench of Justices Surya Kant, Dipankar Datta and Vijay Bishnoi.
