CM seeks detailed report on Harda lathi-charge, Karni Sena warns of consequences in Bihar polls
For our govt, social justice and mutual harmony are the highest priority." He further stated, "No one will be allowed to disrupt social harmony in Madhya Pradesh."
Yadav's action comes after
Karni Sena
National President Mahipal Singh Makrana warned the BJP govt on the police action against Rajput youths. He mentioned that in several past elections, the BJP acknowledged their victory in electoral polls to Rajput voters. "And now, the same BJP govt is disregarding our community.
If the BJP continues to behave in this manner with Rajputs, then massive protests will take place before the Bihar assembly elections," Makrana said.
State Congress' Thakur leaders, including former Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh and former LOP Ajay Singh, deeply condemned the alleged police excess on students. Two days after the July 13 lathi-charge incident, Rajya Sabha MP Digvijaya Singh reached Harda to meet students who were lathi-charged by the police.

Singh said, "The way students, even girl students, were lathi-charged in the hostels… four to five persons were surrounded by the police.
Take them to the police station or wherever they are to be taken. But students being beaten up is unacceptable."
Former LOP Ajay Singh stated that the use of force is not the solution to every problem. "This worsens the situation instead of improving it. And this is what happened. Now the protest of Karni Sena is gradually spreading to other districts as well.
Before the situation becomes more unpleasant, the administration should find a solution through mutual dialogue," Ajay Singh said.
The Karni Sena protest of July 13 in Harda started after an office-bearer of the organisation, Ashish Singh Rajput, filed a complaint with the police that he was defrauded of Rs 18 lakh by a person identified as Mohit Verma and two others. A day before the protests, on July 12, the police were taking accused Mohit Verma to court when workers of the Karni Sena Parivar demanded that the accused be handed over to them.
When the situation worsened, police arrested Karni Sena district president Sunil Rajput, complainant of the fraud case Ashish Rajput, and two others.
These arrests led to the protest in Harda.
To disperse the crowd, police resorted to lathi-charge and firing tear-gas shells. Sixty Karni Sena leaders and workers, including the National President of Karni Sena Parivar Jeevan Singh Sherpur, were arrested and later released. Meanwhile, protests by the Karni Sena spread to various parts of the state. The Congress party alleged that police entered hostels and beat up students during the lathi-charge.

Reconciliation only solution to India-Pak tensions: Mehbooba Mufti
PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday called for the revival of ties between India and Pakistan, stating that "reconciliation" is the only way forward to ease tensions. Responding to questions about the current situation in Jammu and Kashmir and the recent encounter in Kulgam, Mufti said, "Encounter used to happen and will always happen, but such a huge war took place before that. The ceasefire had to be declared later. Unless reconciliation, dialogue, debate and discussions are done, such encounters will go on, and we will always stay on the verge of war. Reconciliation is the only way forward." Terrorists killed 26 civilians in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22 in a brutal and heinous attack. India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) in response. Meanwhile, security forces continue their operation in the Akhal Devsar area of south Kashmir's Kulgam district. One terrorist has been neutralised so far in the joint operation by the Indian Army, Jammu and Kashmir police, CRPF, and the Special Operations Group (SOG). The encounter began on Saturday and continued overnight. A day earlier, ahead of the sixth anniversary of the revocation of Article 370, Mufti launched a sharp attack on the BJP-led Central government, saying the policy to strip Jammu and Kashmir of its special status has "completely failed." "Six full years have passed since August 5, 2019. At that time, Jammu and Kashmir's special status was taken away, and Article 370 was revoked with the claim that everything would be fine in Jammu and Kashmir. But we have seen that the policy has completely failed," she told reporters. Mufti alleged that the internal situation in the region has deteriorated rather than improved, pointing to ongoing security crackdowns. "Internally, the situation in Jammu and Kashmir is bad. For the past six years, arrests have been made daily. The situation in Jammu and Kashmir has become worse than before, although people are silent today. This is why our country has come into confrontation with Pakistan. What is Pakistan's stature? Their economy is not even a tenth of our economy, but today the whole world is comparing us with them," she said. The former Chief Minister also criticised what she termed the BJP's "aggressive policy" and its broader impact on regional diplomacy. "Unfortunately, the BJP has created such an atmosphere in the country that today all groups are saying, why did you agree to a ceasefire? This is the BJP's aggressive policy.

Gurgaon horror: Wife plots husband's murder with lover, 3 others; all arrested
Representative Image NEW DELHI: Police in Gurugram have arrested five people, including a woman and her neighbour, for allegedly murdering her husband and concealing his body. The victim, Vikram (37), was a resident of Dundahera village and originally hailed from Nawada in Bihar. His wife, Soni Devi (35), was reportedly in a relationship with the main accused, her neighbour Ravindra (34). According to police, during questioning, Vikram's wife Soni Devi confessed that she and the main accused, her neighbour Ravinder (34), conspired to kill her husband after her daughter discovered an obscene video of them on Ravinder's phone and informed Vikram. Investigators said the duo researched murder methods online before executing the plan. Soni Devi had initially filed a missing complaint for her husband at Udyog Vihar police station on July 28. She filed another complaint on July 31 alleging that Ravindra had raped her in March while her husband was away for work. She claimed that Ravindra had made a video of the incident and threatened that if she told anyone about it, he would make the clip public. Following the initial investigation, police arrested Ravindra, who allegedly confessed to murdering Vikram.

All three were remanded to five days' police custody on Saturday. Additionally, Ravindra's uncle, Santarpal (60), was arrested the same day for helping bury Vikram's body. He, too, was sent to five days' custody on Sunday. Soni Devi, meanwhile, has been sent to judicial remand. It was during interrogation when Ravindra claimed that he and the woman had been in a relationship, according to a police spokesperson. During questioning, Ravindra told police that on July 26, he and his accomplices forcibly pulled Vikram into a car while he was returning home from work. They strangled him with a rope and later buried his body near Mohammadpur Jharsa village. Based on Ravindra's disclosure, the body was recovered from the burial site. Police said Soni Devi admitted to having been in a relationship with Ravindra for about a year. She revealed that Ravindra had recorded an obscene video of them, which her daughter accidentally found on his phone and later informed Vikram. Police said both Ravindra and Soni Devi had actively researched online to plan the murder. "Both the accused, Ravindra and Soni Devi, watched various methods on the Internet and YouTube to kill Vikram and dispose of the body after the murder," said a police spokesperson. As part of the plan, Ravindra approached his uncle, Santarpal, who looks after cattle in Mohammadpur Jharsa village."Ravindra, along with his friends, then killed Vikram and his uncle helped him to bury the body in a pit which was already dug by Santarpal on Ravindra's instructions," the official added. Investigators also confirmed that Soni Devi remained in regular contact with Ravindra by phone during this entire episode. 'In order to mislead the police, she first filed a missing report of her husband on July 28, while the woman knew that her husband had been murdered on July 26 and his body had been buried. We are questioning the accused,' the spokesperson said.
