2 B'deshi ‘smugglers' shot dead in Tripura
"BSF personnel were keeping a vigil along the border area, when they spotted a major smuggling attempt. As they tried to intercept, the smugglers got violent. In self-defence, the security personnel opened fire," a senior BSF officer said.
"Three smugglers received gunshot wounds and fell to the ground. While one of them died on the spot, two others were taken back to Bangladesh by their companions," he said.
They were taken to a health centre in Bangladesh, where one of them died. The other person is undergoing treatment there, he added.

The plea, filed by advocate Ashwani Dubey, called the HC order erroneous and a violation of Article 21.(HT_PRINT) The petitioner in his plea said the high court, in a clear violation of the "procedural impropriety" and without hearing or impleading his wife, who is currently employed in the US, and ignoring that she is not a part of the criminal case, directed her to remain in India. The petition, filed through advocate Ashwani Dubey, submitted that the said impugned direction passed by the high court was "erroneous" and violative of the fundamental rights under Article 21 of the Constitution. The matter is listed for hearing on August 8.

CM Mamata Banerjee, Left slam Centre over Delhi cop calling Bengali a ‘Bangladeshi language'
Trinamool Congress general secretary Abhishek Banerjee called it a "calculated attempt" by the BJP to undermine Bengali identity and demanded immediate suspension of the police officer along with a public apology from Delhi Police, the BJP and Home Minister Amit Shah. "Bengalis are not outsiders in their own homeland," he stated. However, BJP's West Bengal president Samik Bhattacharya defended the police, arguing that the language used was "absolutely correct" and distinguishing between Bengali literature from India and Bangladesh. BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya accused Banerjee of defending "illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators" and stated that national security would not be compromised for "vote-bank politics." CPI(M) state secretary Md Salim posted the controversial Delhi Police letter on social media and mocked the department's ignorance. 'Will the illiterate @DelhiPolice explain what 'Bangladeshi language' means? Have they not heard of the 8th Schedule of the Constitution?' he asked. CPI(ML) Liberation leader Dipankar Bhattacharya also condemned the incident, saying it reflects 'majoritarian arrogance' and warned that fascism poses a threat to India's linguistic and cultural fabric. 'The persecution of Bengali-speaking workers as 'Bangladeshis' has now escalated into outright denial of Bengali as an Indian language. This is an assault on our multicultural unity,' Bhattacharya said in a Facebook post. He called for a united resistance against attempts to erode India's linguistic diversity and national integrity.
