District Bar Association calls off strike after police lodge FIR in advocate threat case
However, division number 5 police allegedly did not take action in the case at the time. An FIR was allegedly lodged in the wake of the two-day strike at the Ludhiana court by the association but it did not name the main accused, Adarsh Toor, brother of AAP district youth president, M P Jawaddi.
The FIR against Sunny Gill of Dugri and his accomplices was lodged under sections 126 (2) (wrongful restraint), 351 (2,3) (criminal intimidation), 3 (5) (criminal act done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of BNS and Section 25 of the Arms Act.
The complainant, advocate Harjas Singh Gill, said that police lodged an FIR mentioning only one accused, named Sunny Gill, who allegedly came to the spot later and slammed the door of his car. "Adarsh Toor, who has links with political parties, is the one who pointed a pistol at me and threatened to shoot me. However, the police, due to political pressure, did not name him in the FIR. I am not satisfied with the FIR and am therefore moving Punjab and Haryana high court," said the advocate.

Police lodged an FIR after an inquiry conducted by inspector Kulwant Singh, in-charge, CIA-1. As per a copy of the FIR, inspector Kulwant's report states that though the incident was captured in CCTV cameras, the footage was not clear enough. The report said that Sunny Gill and his accomplices were seen threatening the complainant and the role of Adarsh Toor was being probed.
Advocate Gill said that he was going to Bansal Market, Sarabha Nagar, when occupants of a black Scorpio car intercepted him.
He said that the man called his accomplice, after which they pointed a gun at him and threatened him at around 9.30pm on July 27.
AAP youth leader, M P Jawaddi, said that the incident took place about a week ago. He claimed that it was a verbal spat and no one had pointed a pistol at the complainant. "Even the CCTV camera does not capture any pistol. Moreover, the advocate filed a police complaint two or three days after the alleged incident. If someone truly threatened him at gunpoint, he would immediately call the police and not wait for days to lodge a complaint.
It is an attempt to tarnish my image," he asserted.

$216k theft: California man charged for stealing rare Chinese texts from UCLA library; used aliases, returned fakes
Representative AI image A California library user has been charged for stealing rare Chinese manuscripts valued at $216,000, US officials announced on Thursday, reports AFP. The suspect, identified as Jeffrey Ying, 38, reportedly used multiple aliases to access centuries-old works, some of them dating back over 600 years, at the University of California, Los Angeles library, then allegedly returned forged copies in their place. He is a resident of Fremont, the Bay Area. "The library noticed that several rare Chinese manuscripts were missing, and an initial investigation revealed the books were last viewed by a visitor who identified himself as 'Alan Fujimori,'" the Department of Justice said, reported AFP. "Law enforcement also found pre-made labels known as asset tags associated with the same manuscripts that could be used to create 'dummy' books to return to the library in place of the original books." When detectives searched the Los Angeles-area hotel where Ying was staying, they discovered blank manuscripts resembling the rare books he borrowed, as per the charging documents. Officials noted that Ying would often travel to China after checking out the materials from the library. Ying was found in possession of multiple library cards issued under various names. If found guilty of major artwork theft, Ying, who is currently in state custody, could face up to 10 years in federal prison. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Was The Dream Girl In The 1980s, Here She Is Now.

Watch: Parrot's street talk lands UK drug dealers in cage- Here's how 'Mango' helped police
A chatty parrot with a knack for drug slang has helped British police crack down on a prison drug ring, squawking its way into an unlikely role in a major narcotics bust, authorities revealed this week. The Lancashire Constabulary filed charges against 15 individuals connected to the gang, which purportedly distributed drugs across Blackpool, England, from February 2023 to July 2024. The operation was orchestrated by 35-year-old Adam Garnett whilst serving a prison sentence, Fox News reported. The case unfolded after prison staff discovered multiple mobile phones and Wi-Fi routers during a search of Garnett's cell. This finding led investigators to his alleged associates, including Dalbir Sandhu, Shannon Hilton and Jason Gerrand. Subsequent home searches revealed heroin, crack cocaine, ketamine, cannabis, substantial cash amounts and mobile phones connected to drug trafficking . A notable discovery came from Hilton's phone, containing recordings of her parrot "Mango" repeating "two for 25," believed to be drug transaction terminology. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal? Access all TV channels without a subscription! Techno Mag Learn More Undo Additional footage showed the bird interacting with money allegedly obtained through illegal activities. Video: "What's the most talented thing your pet can do? Sit? Give paw? How about speak?" Lancashire Police wrote in a post on the department's Facebook page. "One drug dealer's parrot learned to say 'two for 25' - a phrase picked up as part of common language used by the organised crime gang run by her boyfriend. Not a phrase you want your parrot squawking when the police come knocking!" Investigators uncovered video communications between Hilton and Garnett, including footage displaying kilogram-sized cocaine packages, occasionally accompanied by drug-referencing song lyrics. Despite his imprisonment, Garnett reportedly maintained central control, directing evidence concealment efforts and maintaining communication with virtually all network members. Det. Sgt. Anthony Alves of Lancashire Police's West Targeted Crime Team commended the results, describing it as a "coordinated and complex drug operation that extended far beyond prison walls." "Garnett continued to run his enterprise while incarcerated, using illegal devices to maintain control. I want to thank my team, our partners at the Crown Prosecution Service, and our prosecution team for their dedication to bringing these criminals to justice." He noted that warrants remain active for Chloe Stott and Ryan Black, requesting public assistance in locating them. Police reported additional evidence from suspects' devices included videos displaying large cash sums, drug-themed rap lyrics and documented narcotic transactions. Garnett received an additional 19 years and six months imprisonment, consecutive to his existing 15-year sentence. Hilton, 29, received 12 years whilst Sandhu, 41, was given 10 years. The operation formed part of Operation Warrior, Lancashire Police's initiative targeting organised crime, drug trafficking, exploitation and violence. Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw supported the initiative and praised the results. "This sends a clear message: we will not tolerate organized crime in our communities. I remain committed to giving law enforcement the resources they need to take down these gangs and protect the public."
