Two awarded life term for 2022 murder of Dalit youth in Ambedkar Nagar
Lucknow: A court in Ambedkar Nagar on Saturday sentenced two men to life imprisonment for axing a 28-year-old Dalit youth to death in 2022. Special judge Ram Vilas Singh convicted the duo under IPC's sections 302 (murder) and 34 (liability in criminal act) and section 3(2)(v) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, and imposed a fine of Rs 20,000 each. Special public prosecutor Sudip Mishra told TOI that the incident occurred in Gaya Ghat Pipri village under the Alapur police station area on the night of July 31, 2022. According to the FIR filed by Ramvriksha, the incident unfolded after former village pradhan Ranu Tiwari visited his younger brother Jalandhar, an electrician, to request a repair. Jalandhar agreed to do the work the following morning and subsequently left for the nearby Khajhapur. Around midnight, his wife heard noises and alerted the family. "When Ramvriksha tried calling up Jalandhar, the phone was answered by an unknown person who told them to come to the fields. Upon reaching, the family found Jalandhar lying severely injured. He was rushed to the govt hospital in Baskhari and then referred to the district hospital in Akbarpur, where he died during treatment," said Mishra.

During the investigation, the police collected testimonies, scene maps, postmortem reports, call detail records, and video evidence. A charge sheet was filed, and the case was tried in the special SC/ST court. Hearing the case, the special judge found both the accused guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. "Despite the defence's plea that the accused were first-time offenders and came from impoverished backgrounds, the court sided with the prosecution, which highlighted the caste-based nature of the crime and the gravity of the offence. While the defence argued that there were no eyewitnesses and the case was a result of village enmity, the court held that the evidence — including the victim's dying statement, witness testimonies, and supporting forensic materials — was consistent and credible," the special public prosecutor said. "The judge concluded that the crime was intentional, caste-motivated, and brutal in nature," Mishra said.

‘Uninteded errors': TMC MP withdraws letter demanding ED, CBI probes in ECL ‘corruption'
1 2 3 Kolkata: Bengal BJP on Sunday criticised Trinamool MP Kirti Azad's decision to withdraw the letter written to the Union coal and mines minister Kishan Reddy. The letter by Azad had demanded probes by the ED and CBI into the alleged corruption at Eastern Coalfields Ltd. Azad, also the chairperson of the standing committee on chemicals and fertilisers, withdrew the letter citing errors. In the letter dated July 23, Azad had alleged "rampant corruption at the ECL" and claimed that cases of corruption involving tender irregularities, coal pilferage, manipulation of coal grade, unlawful transportation and breakdown of operational oversight and financial accountability gripped the ECL. Despite investigations by ED and CBI, several collieries have continued to incur losses. Azad also provided a list of 14 associate companies registered from the same address, "rigging bids for years in connivance with ECL officials". Additionally, he enclosed a list of collieries where employees were involved in loss-causing activities. However, in a letter on Saturday, he wished to withdraw the earlier letter due to "discrepancies in the statements" and "unintended errors" as he was "misinformed". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo You Can Also Check: Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata Union minister Sukanta Majumdar claimed that Azad had received a "dressing down" in his party. Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya stated that BJP MPs would now push for a CBI and ED enquiry. "He rightly demanded an ED and CBI probe into illegal mining. He was convinced that the police could not probe such cases. He withdrew the letter mysteriously. Our MPs will meet Reddy on Monday and ask for a speedy investigation," said Bhattacharya.
