Dr Bindal claimed that the people of Himachal have lost faith in the state government. The people of Himachal are well aware how the law and order situation has deteriorated. Cases of murder, rape, robbery and drugs are coming up every day, this is cause of deep worry and the people of the state hold the Chief Minister responsible for this mess.

Anubrata Mondal threatened a police officer & may go scot-free. It's a blot on TMC
Every other word in the audio clip is a four-letter expletive and has had to be bleeped out. Mondal's foul comments are legendary. He once publicly ordered TMC workers to bomb the police and to set fire to the homes of political foes. No action was ever taken against him. But in the leaked audio clip of a phone conversation that went viral last week, his language crossed too many Lakshman Rekhas. Mondal is heard warning a police inspector, Liton Halder, with physical harm and threatening his wife and mother with rape. Anubrata Mondal is one of Mamata Banerjee's favourites. Keshto, she calls him. The chief of the Birbhum wing of the Trinamool Congress, he ensures victory in every election. And he raises funds: he just spent two years in Tihar for links with cattle smuggling. For a party that boasts numerous women MPs, multiple welfare schemes for women, and is led by a woman, the whataboutery that followed is a blot. If a BJP leader can abuse Col Sofiya Qureshi or a Congressman's mother on public TV, then why target Mondal, was the TMC chorus. A few who condemned Mondal mumbled. Mamata should have publicly rebuked him and kept police morale up by ordering the strictest action. But she did not. Instead, the legal cell of Birbhum police sent a letter to the lead anchor of a top Bengali TV news channel, ABP Ananda. It threatened action 'without any further notice' if the channel continued to air the controversial audio clip as it 'tarnished the image of the police'. As if Mondal had not damaged the image of the police already with the abuse he had hurled at the inspector in charge of Bolpur police station, and then ignored police summons for days. Seemingly with impunity. The Anubrata Mondal case The police did file an FIR against Mondal, charging him with two cognisable offences—sexual harassment and use of criminal force to deter public servants from doing their duty—and two non-cognisable offences. These could put a common man behind bars or at least force the accused to seek anticipatory bail. But not Mondal. Summoned to the police station twice—on 31 May and 1 June—he sent a medical certificate prescribing him five days of bed rest. But the certificate, reports claim, is dubious. It was issued by a government doctor, not on his official pad but on the letterhead of a private medical college, allegedly in complete violation of service rules. The doctor has since been incommunicado, at least for the media. Displaying perhaps the only dash of diffidence in this drama, Mondal arrived at the police station on Thursday, sneaking in through the back gate in a friend's car, minus his trademark white SUV, security staff, and pilot. Two hours of interrogation later, he left looking unruffled. He reportedly told the police he had no memory of any conversation with Inspector Liton Halder at 11.30 pm on 28 May because he was not in his senses after taking his sleeping pills. Police have reportedly confiscated two cell phones of Inspector Halder, the recipient of the abusive call. Meanwhile, they have let the alleged abusive caller, Mondal, keep his own. Which begs the question: Who taped the phone conversation? Between abuses, Mondal is heard mocking Halder, saying, 'I know you are recording the conversation.' If that was so, did Halder also leak it? The police will address this issue eventually. Congress and BJP leaders are worried that Halder may end up suspended from service, and Mondal may go scot–free. Also read: Ashoka founder's letter shows we only celebrate moral courage if there's no real cost The Sharmistha Paloni case The Anubrata Mondal case has unfolded parallel to the case of Sharmistha Paloni, raising the question, are the police becoming overzealous, selectively? As Mondal walked out of the Bolpur police station on Thursday, the 22-year-old YouTuber, a Kolkata girl studying law in Pune, got interim bail from the Calcutta High Court. She had posted comments on social media that another Kolkata resident had found offensive to Muslims and complained to the police. Panoli had immediately deleted her post and apologised. But the West Bengal police labelled her an absconder, arrested her from her Gurugram workplace, and brought her to Kolkata, where she was sent to judicial custody. The police defended their action, which some felt was high-handed, and denied hounding the student. But it is now under the scanner after a twist in the tale. The Kolkata resident Wazahat Khan Qadri Rashidi, who had filed the complaint against Panoli, is now charged with the same offence: posting material on social media that is offensive, in this case, to Hindus. Rashidi is absconding, reportedly since Sunday. All eyes are now on how quickly the West Bengal police track him down. All eyes are also on how swiftly the police pursue the case against Anubrata Mondal, so that it is brought to a logical conclusion. Monideepa Banerjie is a senior journalist based in Kolkata.

Communal post case: Influencer Sharmistha Panoli walks out of jail; arrested over controversial video
NEW DELHI: A law student, Sharmistha Panoli arrested for allegedly hurting religious sentiments through a social media video walked out of Alipore Women's Correctional Home on Friday, a day after the Calcutta high court granted her interim bail. Panoli was arrested by Kolkata Police on May 30 from a hotel in Gurugram for a video she had posted on 'Operation Sindoor', which was deemed communal in nature. Though she deleted the video and issued a public apology on May 15, an FIR was later registered against her at the Garden Reach police station in Kolkata. The Calcutta high court on Thursday noted that the complaint did not disclose any cognisable offence and granted her interim bail. Conditions of the bail include surrendering her passport, cooperating with the investigation, and furnishing a personal bond of Rs 10,000. The court also directed that she be given police protection, citing threats she had received after the video went viral. Panoli's arrest had sparked political backlash, with BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari calling it a case of 'police overzealousness' and 'atrocities'.

ACB files chargesheet in illegal appointment of 82 persons in Municipal Committee Sumbal
Srinagar, June 6 (UNI) J&K Anti-Corruption Bureau presented a chargesheet in the Court of Special Judge Anti-Corruption, Baramulla for the illegal appointment of 82 persons in Municipal committee (MC) Sumbal Bandipora during 2009-2010. The chargesheet was submitted on Thursday against Ghulam Ahmad Wani alias Gulzar, then President of MC Sumbal, Abdul Rashid Shah, then In-Charge Executive Officer, and 82 beneficiaries. The case originated from a complaint received by the then Vigilance Organization Kashmir (VOK), now ACB J&K, regarding large-scale fraudulent appointments in Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) across Kashmir. A probe by VOK revealed that during 2009-2010, President and In-charge Executive Officer MC Sumbal, in league with accused beneficiaries by abuse of their official position and in gross violation of the standing government rules, made 82 illegal appointments of various persons to different posts on the regular pay scale. The ACB probe found that their salary was drawn by Shah, who also attested service particulars of these 82 illegal appointees. Verification conducted revealed that these 82 accused beneficiaries were illegally & fraudulently appointed without following due process of law, the ACB said. Finally on the culmination of verification, an FIR was registered at Police Station VOK (Now ACB Baramulla), against officers of MC Sumbal Bandipora & 82 illegal appointees, and investigations were set into motion. The investigation further found that the recruitment was made without any transparent recruitment process, without the issuance of any advertisements for wider circulation, and the majority of posts against which accused beneficiaries were appointed do not figure in the schedules given under the Recruitment Rules 2008. The ACB said investigations conducted also revealed that the majority of the appointments were made on recommendations of the then Speaker J&K Assembly, then MLA Sonawari, as well as Municipal council resolution, which again were not authorized forums as per rules to intervene in the recruitment process. Accordingly, the sanction for launching prosecution against an service public servant, Rashid Shah, a resident of Papachan, Bandipora, was accorded by the Government. Shah was also prematurely retired from government service; however was reinstated by the High Court order. On culmination of investigations, the chargesheet against the then President, MC Sumbal; the then I/C Executive Officer, MC Sumbal and 82 illegal appointees was produced in the Court for commission of offences as defined under section 5(1),(d) r/w 5(2) of Jammu & Kashmir Prevention of Corruption Act, Samvat, 2006, and under Section 120-B, 201 RPC was presented before special Judge Anti-corruption court Baramulla for judicial determination.
