Colonel assault case: Department inquiry recommends action against 4 cops
Patiala, A departmental inquiry into the alleged assault on an Army colonel by Punjab Police personnel over a car parking issue has recommended action, including deduction in service and no promotion for three years, against four inspectors and two others, sources said on Wednesday. Colonel assault case: Department inquiry recommends action against 4 cops The department inquiry was conducted by the Patiala Superintendent of Police into the incident that took place on the intervening night of March 13 and 14, when Colonel Pushpinder Singh Bath and his son were having food at a roadside dhaba in Patiala. Colonel Bath had accused 12 Punjab Police personnel of assaulting him and his son over a parking dispute and sought a transfer of the probe to an independent agency, preferably the CBI. He alleged that the assailants four inspector-rank officers of the Punjab Police and their armed subordinates attacked him and his son without provocation, snatched his ID card and mobile phone, and threatened him with a "fake encounter", all in public view and under CCTV camera coverage. Following outrage over the incident, the Punjab Police suspended the 12 police personnel and also initiated a departmental inquiry. Following the inquiry, it has been recommended that three years of service of six police personnel will be deducted, besides they will get no increment for three years, the sources said. There will be no promotion for three years and there will be no salary additions for them, they said. The suspension of these officers will continue, and they will remain posted out of Patiala, said sources. The Punjab and Haryana High Court on July 16 had transferred the investigation into the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation . The petitioner, Bath, had sought an independent probe, preferably by the CBI, into the matter. On July 25, the CBI re-registered two FIRs filed by the civil lines police station Patiala as its own separate cases, with one from Colonel Bath's side and the other from the dhaba owner in Patiala. The FIRs were filed under various provisions of the BNS, which also include the charge of attempt to commit murder. Before the probe was handed over to the Chandigarh Police, Bath had alleged that a fair investigation was impossible under the Punjab Police.

Days after successfully killing three terrorists involved in the Pahalgam horror, the Indian Army on Wednesday foiled an infiltration attempt by two suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists in an operation codenamed Operation Shivshakti.

'The recovered war like stores include two assault rifles with ammunition, one pistol with ammunition, hand grenades, two Improvised explosive devices, medicines, communication device and other logistic stores.

Trump could pardon Diddy, Bad Boy boss may get full reprieve before sentencing
US president Donald Trump is seriously considering granting Sean 'Diddy' Combs a full presidential pardon ahead of the music mogul's sentencing later this year, as per a report. Donald Trump Might Be Considering Presidential Pardon for Sean 'Diddy' Combs About two months after Trump floated the idea in the Oval Office, insiders reveal that a pardon for Combs is now 'seriously being considered' by the US president's team, as reported by Deadline. This comes as Combs could end up spending two to three years in a federal prison upon his sentencing on October 3 by Judge Arun Subramanian, as per the report.

Combs' Legal Team Expected to Appeal After Sentencing Despite being denied a $50 million bond and release from Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center since his arrest last September, an appeal is widely expected to be launched by the 10-attorney-deep defense almost immediately after sentencing occurs, as reported by Deadline. Live Events Although Combs' defence team, led by Marc Agnifilo and Teny Gerago, has remained tight-lipped on any pardon discussions, friends and associates have actively lobbied the White House for clemency, as per the report. While, a Trump administration official said, 'the White House will not comment on the existence or nonexistence of any clemency request,' as quoted in the report.

Even before the verdict of the trial was accounced, the US president said on May 30 that when it came to a Diddy pardon, he 'would certainly look at the facts if I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me,' as quoted by Deadline. Over the years, their relationship has seen ups and downs, with Combs supporting former US president Joe Biden in 2020 despite previously being close to Trump, as per the Deadline report. Earlier than that, the US president and Combs had known each other for decades, with Trump even calling him a 'good friend' in 2012, as reported by Deadline. Critics Speak Out Against Possible Pardon The pardon talks have stirred controversy, drawing criticism from other celebrities like Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, who has publicly vowed to oppose any pardon for Combs, as per the report. The Trump-ally rap star posted on social media, saying, 'I'm gonna reach out so he knows how I feel about this guy," as quoted in the Deadline report. New Push for Pre-Sentencing Release This week, Combs' legal team made another push to get him released from jail while he awaits sentencing, as per the report. Once again, they offered a $50 million bond and promised strict conditions, including limits on where Combs could travel and who he could have contact with, according to the Deadline report. Earlier in July, Judge Arun Subramanian gave both sides until July 30 to come up with a detailed plan for possibly letting Combs out for about two months leading up to his October 3 sentencing, as per the report. However, the Deadline found that the proposal might not be a joint proposal from the parties, though more documents from the defense might show up in the docket in the next 24 hours, as per the report. FAQs Is Trump really considering pardoning Diddy? Yes, reports say Trump is seriously weighing the idea ahead of Diddy's sentencing in October. What was Diddy found guilty of? He was found partially guilty on charges related to transporting individuals for prostitution, but acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering.
