New Delhi: Family of the late Haryana BJP leader Sonali Phogat has expressed dissatisfaction over the investigation being carried out by the Goa Police into her death case. They now have decided to approach the Goa High Court and demand CBI probe into the matter. “Goa Police is not doing proper investigation… I think political influence is also behind this, so now we will move to Goa High Court demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe,” news agency ANI quoted Phogat’s nephew Vikas Singh as saying. Notably, the Goa Police are in Haryana’s Hisar for about four days to probe the death case and collect relevant evidence. Phogat’s family also met Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and had demaded a CBI probe into her alleged death. Khattar had given assurance of the CBI investigation into the death case of the actress and Bigg Boss 14 contestant. Vikas Singh also said that the Phogat family has written to Chief Justice of India (CJI) UU Lalit for a CBI inquiry

If anyone tells us to recall our schooling days, among a lot of glittering memories, some instances of punishment also strike our minds. “Cross your hands, hold your ears and do uthak-baithak (sit-ups)” are among those dreaded instructions by the teachers that can still haunt us. However, a new chapter regarding this practice has unfolded in recent times. An old video of a US doctor recommending sit-ups in the exact desi style has resurfaced on the internet.

There is no denying the fact that desperate times call for desperate measures. This expression sits perfectly with the recent turn of events in Bihar. In a shocking incident, water-logged roads during the flood-like scenario in Bihar forced the villagers to improvise and take a sick person to the hospital on a boat made of plastic containers, bamboo sticks, and ropes. Yes, that’s true. The video, which belongs to Bihar’s Bhagalpur district, was shared by news agency ANI on their official Twitter account. Reportedly, the district lacks the proper system to ferry patients to the hospital during the floods, and now the emergence of this video appears to be proving those claims. While posting the now-viral video, the news agency wrote in the captions, “Bihar: People in a flood-affected village in Bhagalpur district made a makeshift boat to carry a patient to a hospital.” The clip opens by showing a patient lying on a makeshift boat made out of water barrels, ropes and bamboo. While two me

New Delhi : Days after the Supertech Twin Towers were demolished in Noida’s Sector 93-A, the Residents Welfare Association (RWA) in a meeting proposed that a grand temple be constructed at the site. The RWA in their proposal said the idols of Ram Lalla and Lord Shiva along with other Gods will be installed in the temple. Meanwhile, Supertech Limited on 1 September stated that the Twin Towers, which were demolished on 28 August, belonged to the company and will be used for another residential project after getting the due approval from Noida Authority and consent from the homebuyers of Emerald Court. In an exclusive interview to ANI , RK Arora, Chairman and Managing Director of Supertech Limited said that The Twin Towers Apex and Ceyane in Noida are a part of the Emerald Court Project at Sector 93A constructed on land allotted by Noida Authority. “The building plans of the Project including the two towers were approved by the Noida Authority in 2009 which was strictly in accordance

The governance model of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has got exposed leading to knee jerk reactions from its leaders. One of its ministers in Delhi, Satyendar Jain, is already in jail under the charges of financial irregularities. He hasn’t been able to get bail after repeated attempts. Now another of its ministers Manish Sisodia is also facing an investigation for alleged irregularities in the excise policy. Meanwhile, AAP leaders have started targeting Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena by running a smear campaign against him. This is a standard operating procedure adopted by AAP. Whenever AAP leaders get cornered, they launch a counter offensive to divert the focus from the main issue and attack those cornering them with wild allegations. In the past also AAP leaders have levelled false allegations. Once the immediate crisis is over, they backtrack and apologise. Kejriwal himself had apologised to the Union Minister Arun Jaitley in 2018. Along with him his party leaders Raghav Chadha and Sanj

The doomsayers have been rebuffed again as the renovated Rajpath area prepares to welcome back aam Indians. Few have the grace and gumption to own up when they have been proved wrong. So journalist Tavleen Singh’s admission this week on Twitter that the about-to-reopen lawns alongside Rajpath in New Delhi actually look good after the revamp is unlikely to trigger an avalanche of similar acknowledgements. Who would want to admit they had been instigated by photographs and their own biases rather than any real proof of imminent disaster? In the summer of 2021, a series of photos of New Delhi’s Rajpath looking like Kharkhiv after the Russians bombed it, exploded across the Internet. The accompanying anguished posts screamed that the Union government intended to change the entire character of Lutyens’ Delhi starting with uprooting everything on the Rajpath lawns — from trees and lamp-posts to the ornamental pools, iron chains and bollards. Apocalypse was deemed to be imminent. The pho

Inputs over the weekend stated that Nepal has urged the Government of India to currently stall the recruitment of Gorkhas under the Agnipath scheme. The Nepalese foreign minister, Narayan Khadke, stated this after meeting the Indian ambassador to Nepal, Naveen Srivastava. This happened a day before recruitment was to commence in Nepal’s Lumbini province, for which official permission had yet to be granted. The Indian Army Chief is scheduled to visit Nepal in early September to be bestowed with the appointment of honorary chief of the Nepalese Army. It is likely that the issue would be raised during his visit. A statement in the Nepalese newspaper, Kantipur Daily , stated: “Although the Nepal government is positive about facilitating the recruitment of Gorkhas in the Indian Army, but the government will formally make the decision regarding the matter after holding talks with other major political parties as the Government of India has introduced a new military recruitment.” Further Nep

New Delhi: A purported video of AAP MLA Baljinder Kaur being slapped by her husband, who is also a leader of the ruling party, has surfaced on social media. In the video shot on 10 July, the two-time legislator from Talwandi Sabo could be heard arguing with her husband, Sukhraj Singh. Suddenly, Singh gets up and apparently slaps Kaur. Some people standing near the couple then intervene and push Singh away, the video showed.

Days after an FIR was filed against Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru, the chief of the Jagadguru Murugharajendra Vidyapeetha — an influential Lingayat seminary in Karnataka — was arrested on Thursday night, pushing Karnataka to the edge. He was then sent to 14-day judicial custody in Chitradurga district jail. The arrest comes after a complaint filed by a Mysuru-based NGO Odanadi Seva Samsthe, alleged that Sharanaru, another seer and two others allegedly sexually abused two minor high school girls residing in the mutt’s hostel. As per news agency PTI , the accused have been booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act 2012 (POCSO) Act and sections of rape. It is alleged that the two girls, aged 15 and 16, studying in a school run by the mutt and residing in a hostel, also run by the monastery, were sexually abused between January 2019 and June 2022. Incidentally, Sharanaru is the same seer who initiated Congress leader Rahul Gandhi into the Lingayat sect earlier i

New Delhi: Chitradurga police on Thursday arrested Jagadguru Murugarajendra Vidyapeetha mutt seer Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru for allegedly sexually abusing two high school girls. The seer was booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) and arrested from his mutt. The pontiff, who had applied for anticipatory bail on Monday, was additionally charged under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act on Tuesday as one of the two victims was from the SC community.
