BJP MP seeks FIR against Mamata over ‘torture' video post: ‘Bid to malign Delhi Police, incite public discontent'
A day after Delhi Police rejected the claims that a migrant woman from West Bengal and her one-and-a-half-year-old child were 'assaulted and tortured' by policemen in East Delhi, BJP MP from Kanthi has demanded that an FIR be registered against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who had posted the video on her X handle. BJP MP Soumendu Adhikari, in a complaint to the Cyber Crime Branch of the Delhi Police, alleged that West Bengal chief minister deliberately disseminated a 'false, fabricated, and communally charged video' with the intent to malign the image of the Delhi Police and incite public discontent. Soumendu Adhikari is the brother of the Leader Of Opposition in West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari. On July 27, TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee posted a video on her X handle and alleged that a Bengali-speaking woman and her child were brutally assaulted by personnel of the Delhi Police in the name of Aadhaar verification. 'Atrocious!! Terrible!!. See how Delhi police brutally beat up a kid and his mother, members of a migrant family from Malda's Chanchal. See how even a child is not spared from the cruelty of violence in the regime of linguistic terror unleashed by the BJP in the country against the Bengalis,' Mamata had posted. A day later, DCP East Delhi, Abhishek Dhania, told mediapersons that the woman in the video had retracted her claims when questioned by police. Referring to Dhania's press conference and the claims made by the police, the BJP MP wrote that 'the intention behind making the video was to create a false narrative and circulate it on social media for political and defamatory purposes.' 'The actions of Mamata Banerjee, in knowingly or recklessly disseminating unverified, provocative and false content, constitute grave offences,' the MP said, demanding a detailed investigation to identify a 'wider conspiracy', and appropriate penal action against the chief minister. The family of the woman, said to be in the video, has, however, stuck with their allegations against the Delhi Police. According to the woman's father-in-law, the family has been staying in Delhi for the past six years and hails from Malda. Meanwhile, relatives of the family in Chanchal, in West Bengal's Malda district, lodged a complaint with the local police on Sunday night.

Bengal wants to be heard, state tells SC on SIR
Kolkata: Bengal govt on Tuesday told Supreme Court , which is hearing appeals against the special intensive revision (SIR) in Bihar, that it "wants to be heard in the matter". The SC has allowed the state to file a formal application, a senior govt lawyer said. A bench of justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi said the hearing would be held on Aug 12 and 13. "The core argument against the Bihar SIR is its legal validity. If this falls through, nothing stops the EC from replicating this exercise in Bengal and other poll-bound states. Bengal govt will convey to the SC that it opposes this citizenship drive by EC to invalidate people who voted even in the 2024 Lok Sabha based on electoral rolls prepared by the poll panel," sources said.

Dubbing the order "extra-legal", Moitra has argued that the "order arbitrarily excludes commonly accepted identity documents such as Aadhaar and ration cards from the list of accepted documents, thereby putting a huge burden on the voters who are at a huge risk of getting disenfranchised".

‘Relieved, rightly dealt': Pahalgam attack widow welcomes LeT commanders' killing
Aishanya Dwivedi, wife of Pahalgam terror attack victim Shubham Dwivedi, has expressed relief over the killing of three Pakistani Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists allegedly involved in plotting the April 22 attack that left 26 people dead. The three were shot dead by security forces in an encounter near Srinagar on Monday. Aishanya Dwivedi, wife of Pahalgam terror attack victim Shubham Dwivedi, said she would not be watching the upcoming India-Pakistan cricket match, calling for a public boycott. (Sourced) In her statement to Hindustan Times on Tuesday, Dwivedi said she felt 'relieved' that the terrorists were not captured alive. 'They didn't show mercy to anyone, and they deserved none,' she said. 'The rest will be hunted down and dealt with the same way.' Dwivedi also said she would not be watching the upcoming India-Pakistan cricket match, calling for a public boycott. 'Only three months have passed since 26 people were killed. And some people want to play cricket? Is a match more valuable than those lives?' she said, urging citizens to stand with the families of the victims. She added that public sentiment should not favour celebrations with a country 'under whose shelter such attacks are planned.'
