Man arrested under Excise Act dies during treatment
Patna: A youth,
Sunil Manjhi
, from Gabhatal Mushahari, died during treatment at the PMCH after being arrested by Danapur police in Patna for alcohol-related offence.
Upon learning about the death, relatives of Sunil staged a protest at the Danapur sub-jail's entrance on Sunday morning and later blocked the Danapur-Gandhi Maidan road.
Sunil was arrested by the police on June 9 for consumption of alcohol and its sale. His wife, Mamta Devi, said that Sunil suffered from epilepsy and lost consciousness at the police station while being transferred to jail, yet the authorities proceeded with his incarceration.

According to deputy jail superintendent Anil Kumar, both brothers, charged under the Excise Act, arrived at the jail on June 10. "When Sunil's health deteriorated, he received initial treatment on the jail premises, after which he was shifted to the Danapur sub-divisional hospital. He was then transferred to the PMCH on June 14 evening due to his critical condition, where he died during treatment on Sunday," he said.

All the accused were produced in the court and they went through a medical check-up before being sent to jail," he said.
"On Sunday morning, we received information about the death of Sunil. The police subsequently informed his family. His postmortem was done by the medical board in the presence of a magistrate, and all the procedures were followed. The cause of death will be known once the medical report comes," the SHO said.

Sikh body files FIR against Sukanta for hurling slipper
Kolkata: An FIR was lodged against junior Union minister and Bengal BJP president Sukanta Majumdar at Kalighat police station on Saturday for allegedly hurling a slipper at a Sikh man during a protest on June 12 over the Maheshtala violence. Sri Guru Singh Sabha general secretary Inderjeet Singh Sekhon, who lodged the FIR, said: "Such an act is not only an affront to the Sikh community but also violates the basic fabric of India's constitutional values that ensure respect for all religions and communities. The deliberate nature of the act is clearly visible, leaving no scope for any unintentional justification." The FIR claimed that on June 12, Majumdar threw the slipper at the crossing of Hazra Road and Harish Chatterjee Street. The FIR was lodged under BNS sections 302 (protects individuals from actions intended to harm their religious sentiments) and 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt). Satnam Singh Ahluwalia, general secretary of Gurdwara Behala and member West Bengal Minorities Commission, said: "We demand an unequivocal public apology and strict legal action to ensure accountability. Words alone are not enough—this moment requires decisive steps to show that such acts of disrespect have no place in our society." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Trinamool Congress, which posted the FIR on X, claimed that the Sikh community had "responded with rightful anger" against Majumdar. "They have demanded an immediate and unconditional apology and warned of widespread protests if their voice is ignored," the party wrote. Dismissing the allegation, BJP's Rajya Sabha MP Samik Bhattacharya said Majumdar had only thrown a paper cut-out of a slipper. "The Sikh people are being insulted by planting a concocted story," he said. "People like Majumdar and I grew up learning about the sacrifices of Guru Teg Bahadur and Guru Gobind Singh."
