Arrested influencer Sharmishta Panoli's lawyer, a Muslim, calls her good student
A Muslim lawyer has stepped forward to defend Sharmishta Panoli, the 22-year-old law student arrested over a controversial video, calling her a 'good student' and raising serious questions about the Kolkata Police's handling of the to India Today TV on Monday, advocate Md Shamimuddin alleged procedural lapses in her arrest. 'The laptop and mobile phone of Sharmishta were seized by the investigating agency. A statement had also been recorded. So, she is not required for the purpose of investigation anymore.'advertisementPanoli, a fourth-year law student in Pune with a large social media following, was arrested on May 30 from Gurugram after a now-deleted video sparked outrage for allegedly hurting religious sentiments. She was remanded to judicial custody till June 13 by a Kolkata court. The lawyer claimed the arrest was illegal and unnecessary. 'Technically, the investigating agency should have served her with a notice under Section 35(3) of BNSS. They went to her house, found it locked, and without trying other means like email or WhatsApp, they directly moved the court for a warrant,' he said, accusing the police of skipping mandatory steps."If you do not find a person who is at home, and you want to serve a notice to that person, there is a law that you can affix that particular notice at a conspicuous place of her home, maybe at the door of her home. You can even serve this notice through email, through WhatsApp. But they did not try all these ways," Shamimuddin further said that his client was cooperating fully with the investigating agency."If she had been evading the process of law, then perhaps she would not have given her laptop and her mobile phone to the investigating agency after her arrest. In fact, she cooperated with the investigating agency. She had given a statement to them. So she had done her part," the lawyer Police, however, maintain that they followed due process. 'All legal procedures were duly adhered to... All attempts were made to serve notice, but she was found absconding on every occasion,' it said in a post on court on Tuesday, the Calcutta High Court refused interim bail to Panoli, observing that 'freedom of speech does not mean hurting religious sentiments'. The bench noted India's diversity and added, 'We must be cautious... Heavens will not fall if someone is kept in custody for a few more days.'While critics have slammed Panoli for using derogatory language in response to a social media user questioning Operation Sindoor, Shamimuddin said the case is still under investigation. 'Let the police investigate the matter. If they file a charge sheet, then we will go for trial,' he asked whether his faith was offended by Panoli's words, Shamimuddin said, 'If something wrong has been done by her, it will come out in the charge sheet... Everyone who has erred should be pardoned, if that person comes out clean.''She is a fourth-year student of Symbiosis, Pune, and she's a good student. That is the reason she landed up in Symbiosis,' he had earlier issued an unconditional apology and deleted the video, but the controversy had already snowballed, leading to multiple FIRs. The High Court has clarified that all related FIRs will now be merged under a single case being investigated in Kolkata. The matter will next be heard on June 5.

Major heist at Canara Bank: Nearly 59 kg gold and cash looted in Karnataka
The incident was reported to the Regional Head, who arrived at the branch with officials from the Regional Office by 1:00 p.m. Police were informed shortly thereafter and reached the location at approximately 1:30 p.m. Upon inspecting the premises, police and bank officials found the main door of the strong room intact. However, the inner grill gate had been cut and bent. Inside, one of the steel almirahs used to store gold ornaments was found empty. A total of 1,373 gold packets, weighing 59,348.94 grams gross, were reported missing. Approximately 372 grams of gold was found scattered inside the premises, leading to a net loss of 58,976.94 grams.

Man arrested in Punjab on charges of spying for Pakistan during Operation Sindoor
The Punjab Police on Tuesday arrested a man from Tarn Taran district for allegedly spying for Pakistan's intelligence agency and leaking sensitive information about Operation Sindoor. Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav claimed that the man, identified as Gagandeep Singh, posed 'a threat to national security' after allegedly sharing sensitive details about troop deployments and military locations in lieu of money during India's military strikes on Pakistan. Yadav also alleged that Singh had been in contact with Pakistan-based Khalistani supporter Gopal Singh Chawla for the past five years and was introduced to Pakistani intelligence operatives through him. The police recovered a mobile phone containing information that Singh had shared with the Pakistani operatives, along with the contact details of 20 persons linked to Islamabad's intelligence agency, Inter-Services Intelligence, said the director general of police. 'Thorough financial and technical investigations are underway to trace other linkages and establish the full scope of this espionage network,' Yadav said on X, while adding that a first information report had been registered under the Official Secrets Act. Further investigation was underway, Yadav added.

The strikes were in response to the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, which killed 26 persons on April 22. Over the past few weeks, at least 15 persons have been arrested across the country on allegations of spying for Pakistan and leaking sensitive information about Operation Sindoor. On Saturday, the National Investigation Agency also conducted raids at 15 locations in eight states that were suspected to be linked to Pakistani intelligence operatives.
