THE VIRAL AUDIO CLIPNow, coming back to the real incident.Kumar said the incident occurred on July 26, when he received a call from Virendra to enquire about the status of a death certificate for one Rinki (the similarities are unmissable here).However, the panchayat secretary failed to recognise the RJD MLA initially during the call, which angered Virendra. The audio clip of the incident has gone viral."You don't know Bhai Virendra? You want me to introduce myself? The whole country knows me," the voice, purportedly of Bhai Virendra, can be heard saying.However, the panchayat secretary remains unnerved. "If you speak respectfully, I will do the same. I am not scared of you," he says.'JOOTE SE MARUNGA'This left the MLA fuming, who threatened to "beat him with a shoe". The MLA further says, "Joote se maarunga (I will hit you with a shoe) and you can file a case if you want... Anything can happen".After the audio clip surfaced online, the Block Development Officer (BDO) served a showcause notice to the panchayat secretary. Despite the notice, Kumar filed a formal complaint against the RJD MLA.Police acknowledged receiving the complaint and said that appropriate legal action would be taken after an investigation.- EndsMust Watch

Manoj Bajpayee Reacts To Supreme Court Verdict On Stray Dogs: ‘Fear Should Not Decide…'
Last Updated: Manoj Bajpayee reacted to the SC's stray dog verdict, saying fear shouldn't decide their fate. He urged empathy for both humans and dogs. The Supreme Court's verdict on stray dogs has met with severe criticism from Bollywood. Several actors, including Adah Sharma, Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, Raveena Tandon, and others, called out the SC's verdict. However, Manoj Bajpayee has given a rather neutral take on the ongoing debate. Taking to his Instagram stories, Bajpayee wrote about how fear should not decide a dog's fate. He stated, 'These animals didn't choose the streets and deserve compassion. People deserve to feel safe too, and the way forward should be empathy. Fear should not decide their fate." Manoj's take on the SC's decision met with mixed reactions. One user wrote, 'People deserve to feel safe (from unsafe people first). Can we solve that? There are more idiotic and inhumane people than stray dogs." Another commented, 'Both sides dekhni chahiye, I think dogs bhi safe ho aur humans bhi. Bas yahi chahte hain." A third person remarked, 'Perks of being a celebrity and giving gyaan while you are not aware of the ground reality." About the Supreme Court's verdict on stray dogs On Monday, the Supreme Court ordered that all stray dogs in Delhi and the NCR must be caught within eight weeks and kept in special shelters that civic authorities will set up. The court made it clear that once a dog is caught, it will not be released back onto the streets. A bench of Justices J.B. Pardiwala and R. Mahadevan gave these directions while hearing a case taken up on its own about the rising number of stray dog attacks. The judges also said that anyone who tries to stop the authorities from carrying out the capture will face contempt of court action. The court further ordered that a helpline must be started in Delhi-NCR to report dog bite cases. If a complaint is made, the dog involved must be caught within four hours. However, after the backlash, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court comprising Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta, and N.V. Anjaria, on Thursday, reserved its order on an interim plea requesting a stay on the suo motu directive concerning the removal of stray dogs in Delhi-NCR.

Prohibitory orders imposed around Nainital HC ahead of key election hearing
DEHRADUN: Prohibitory orders have been enforced within a 500-metre radius of the Uttarakhand High Court complex in Nainital, ahead of a crucial hearing scheduled for Monday. The move, enacted under Section 163 of the newly introduced Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, comes in response to concerns over potential public disturbances linked to a high-profile petition challenging the District Panchayat Chairman election. Authorities anticipate a significant gathering of petitioners, supporters, and other interested parties near the court premises, prompting pre-emptive security measures to maintain public order and ensure the smooth conduct of judicial proceedings. Sub-Divisional Magistrate Nawazish Khaliq, who issued the order, stated: 'A significant petition regarding the Nainital District Panchayat Chairman election is scheduled for hearing before the Chief Justice's bench of the Uttarakhand High Court on Monday. There is a strong possibility of a large number of petitioners and supporters converging at the court, which could affect peace and order. This prohibitory order has been issued in anticipation of such a situation to safeguard public safety and judicial integrity.'

Rahul Gandhi kicks off ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra'
Patna/New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday launched the party's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar, a 16-day march covering more than 1,300 km across over 20 districts. The campaign, aimed at protesting Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list and what the Congress calls 'vote chori,' began from Sasaram and will culminate with a rally in Patna on 1 September. The yatra began from Bihar's Sasaram, with several leaders such as Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Pawan Khera, Kanhaiya Kumar and senior RJD leaders, including Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav, joining Gandhi for the launch. Rahul Gandhi, in a post on X, wrote: '16 days, 20+ districts, 1,300+ km. We are coming among the people with the Voter Adhikar Yatra. This is a fight to protect the most basic democratic right – 'one person, one vote'. Join us in Bihar to save the Constitution.' The route will take Gandhi through Aurangabad, Gaya, Nalanda, Sheikhpura, Munger, Bhagalpur, Purnea, Darbhanga, Sitamarhi, Champaran, Siwan, Chapra and Arrah, before concluding in Patna. During the event, the Congress MP vowed to expose 'vote chori' and added that the Special Intensive Revision in Bihar was a 'conspiracy' by the Election Commission. The entire country knows what the Election Commission is doing. Earlier, the country did not know how votes were being stolen. But we made it clear in the press conference how votes are being stolen. Whenever the theft is happening, whether in Bihar, Maharashtra, Assam, Bengal, we will catch the theft and working to show it to the people," said Gandhi. "I am telling you from this stage that Vidhan Sabha and Lok Sabha elections are being stolen in the entire country. Their latest conspiracy is to conduct SIR in Bihar and steal the Bihar elections as well by cutting the new votes and adding fake ones. All of us have come to this stage to tell you that we will not let them steal this election," he said.
