Decomposed body found in sack near Bengaluru drain, second case in recent days
He added that the victim appeared to be a male, likely a Hindu, aged between 35 and 40. The SP further said, 'Though we received information about it this morning, the death seems to have occurred at least a week ago. The body was completely decomposed, possibly more than a week old.'Baba also noted that the remote location made it difficult for anyone to notice the body. 'Since it was dumped next to a large drain, people could not smell it easily. Also, the road leading to the spot is rarely used. One would have to step into the drain and cross it to reach the location. So, it seems like a well-planned move to dispose of the body in a secluded place,' he said.advertisementHe further stated that there is no CCTV at the location of the drain itself, but the police are reviewing footage from surrounding areas in an attempt to trace movements related to the crime.The incident follows a similar case in Bengaluru, where the body of a woman was found dumped in a garbage truck on June 29. Police arrested 33-year-old Shamsuddin from Assam, her live-in partner. According to police sources, their relationship had recently become strained due to arguments, reportedly linked to the woman's alcohol use and late-night phone calls. On the night of the incident, Shamsuddin allegedly returned home drunk, and after an altercation, strangled her to death.- Ends

The Spectator wins defamation claim brought by Muslim activist who criticised Hindus
TOI correspondent from London : The Spectator magazine and Douglas Murray have won a defamation case brought by a Muslim online influencer who stirred up trouble during the 2022 Leicester riots. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Mohammed Hijab, a YouTuber with 1.3 million followers, whose real name is Mohammed Hegab, claimed that an article in the Spectator about the riots, titled 'Leicester and the downside with diversity' and published in Sept 2022, defamed him. The author, Murray, wrote Hijab was a 'a street agitator' who 'cropped up in Leicester to whip up his followers'. He wrote: 'Among other things he (Hijab) told them that Hindus are ridiculous people, not least because of their belief in reincarnation.' Hijab sued for defamation claiming he lost thousands of pounds in fees as a result of the article. But in a judgment handed down on Tuesday in the high court, Justice Johnson found that what Murray wrote about Hijab is 'substantially true, and it is not materially inaccurate'. Hijab's claim was that his comments were not about Hindus but 'the Hindutva' in Leicester which, Hijab, claimed 'promotes conspiracy theories, including that Muslim men conspire to convert Hindu women to Islam'. Johnson wrote: 'When asked to name anyone in the world who subscribed to the Hindutva ideology but who was not Hindu [Hijab] was able to give only one name: Benjamin Netanyahu.' He also said Hijab 'lied on significant issues, with the consequence that his evidence, overall, is worthless'. Johnson pointed out a video of Hijab's speech in Leicester shows him, 'far more vividly than is conveyed by the words of the article, directly whipping up a large group of masked men and ridiculing Hinduism'.

According to the woman's complaint, an FIR was registered and an investigation initiated, said Superintendent of Police Vineet Jaiswal. Gonda (UP), Aug 6 (PTI) A man and his three family members have been booked here on the charge of him marrying a woman by concealing his religious identity, forcing her to convert and undergo abortion, police said on Wednesday. She claimed that it later came to the fore that the man's real name was Azam Hasan Sheikh. The complainant stated that the family took her to their home in West Bengal, where the accused man's father, Akbar Ali, mother Rashida, and sister Manuja pressured her to convert. They reportedly took her to a cleric and forced her to convert and solemnise a second marriage under Muslim customs, according to the complaint.

Ex-pradhan, others on ED radar for ‘links' with Chhangur Baba
LUCKNOW The probe into money laundering allegations against Balrampur religious conversion racket kingpin Jalaluddin Shah alias Chhangur Baba and his associates has brought a former pradhan, a block pramukh's son, a police personnel and revenue officials among others under the Enforcement Directorate's scanner. These people, including a former village pradhan Jumman Miya of Utraula's Madhpur village, who sold a land for ₹ 42 lakh to Chhangur Baba, have already been questioned in the matter, but the ED wants to know more about the money transaction in the land deal. (Pic for representation) As many as 14 people have been summoned for questioning on their association with Chhangur Baba and sale/purchase of properties over the past few years, said an ED official. These people, including a former village pradhan Jumman Miya of Utraula's Madhpur village, who sold a land for ₹42 lakh to Chhangur Baba, have already been questioned in the matter, but the ED wants to know more about the money transaction in the land deal. He said some more people, who were named by Chhangur Baba during interrogation, will also be called for questioning. The kingpin had accused Wasiuddin Chowdhary, Mohammad Ahmed and Santosh Singh of framing him in the religious conversion case as their demand of ₹70 lakh was not fulfilled by him. Wasiuddin Chowadhary is said to be the son of a local block pramukh and a former associate of Chhangur Baba before he became his rival after some monetary dispute. Mohammed Ahmed is stated to be his associate and allegedly involved in most of the land deals executed by Chhangur Baba and his aides while Santosh Singh is claimed to be a police personnel, who had been probing the matter before a formal case of religious conversion was registered by the UP Anti Terrorisim Squad (ATS) on November 16, 2024, he said. The ED is trying to uncover the extent of Chhangur Baba's network and the details of his alleged financial dealings. He is accused of being the kingpin of a large-scale conversion syndicate that targeted economically backward individuals from the Hindu community, particularly those from the Scheduled Caste category. The investigation revealed that his network received approximately ₹60 crore in foreign funding, which was used for illegal conversions and other activities.
