Social worker complains against five people for posting hateful content on social media
The complaint copies have been sent to many high authorities including the PM and CM. Merchant said that the group of individuals have hurt the sentiments of a community and threatens to spark communal disharmony with videos made viral on social media.
The complainant has alleged that the videos carry highly condemnable comments against a revered personality of a particular community and the authorities must immediately block the videos and arrest the accused. "This is a deliberate attempt to invite enmity between communities and made with malafide intention," said Merchant.

Man flies drone over Pilibhit Tiger Reserve's core area; probe on
File image used for representative purpose. PILIBHIT: Authorities at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) have initiated action against a man identified as Arbaz Ansari of Pilibhit city for allegedly flying a drone over the Mala Forest Range, the core area of the reserve, and posting a 30-second video on social media. Officials said the clip, uploaded from an account named Pilibhit Zone, was shot by flying the drone from the Pilibhit-Madhotanda road that cuts through the core forest. The Mala range has one of the highest tiger densities in PTR, and authorities said 'such filming could endanger wildlife safety'. Divisional forest officer (DFO) Manish Singh said, 'Ansari had neither police clearance nor forest department permission. Flying drones in the core area is a clear violation. The act is punishable under the Wildlife Protection Act. Filming inside PTR is permitted only to accredited documentary makers working on wildlife conservation. Such footage can even be misused by poachers.' He added, 'A case is being prepared and the accused is likely to be arrested. The range officer has been directed to trace his whereabouts.' ASP Vikram Dahiya said, 'Operating camera drones without police clearance is a cognisable offence. We suspect the video may have been made simply to gain traction on social media. The motive will be reviewed in the preliminary inquiry and strict legal action will follow.' Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Harjinder Singh faces deportation from US: Shocking footage shows semi-truck driver taking rogue U-turn, killing 3
An Indian man, identified as Harjinder Singh, reportedly faces deportation from the US after he was held responsible for the violent crash. Harjinder Singh, a semi-truck driver, came under the scanner after a video showed him taking an illegal U-turn that claimed three lives on the Florida Turnpike. The incident took place near Fort Pierce around 3 pm on August 12 when Singh allegedly attempted to cut across the highway through an "official use only" median pass, the Times of India reported. He was operating a commercial semi-truck with a trailer. This resulted in the trailer jackknifing and colliding with a minivan — leaving all three of the minivan's passengers dead, according to officials. The video, which has now gone viral, showed a view from inside the cab of the semi-truck driver. Suddenly, the driver makes a U-turn, causing a minivan behind it to crash into the huge vehicle. Singh appears unmoved by the horror crash. Photos from the scene showed the van torn apart, its roof peeled back and its other scattered across the highway. A post shared from the Official White House Rapid Response addressed the incident. It stated that "this individual", Harjinder Singh, "is an illegal immigrant who was granted a commercial driver's license by the State of California — and now, three innocent people are dead." "He has been arrested for vehicular homicide and an ICE detainer has been issued," the Rapid Response posted on X. Meanwhile, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital in an email, "This is a devastating tragedy made even worse by the fact that it was totally preventable." "The actions taken by the defendant while operating a commercial tractor-trailer are both shocking and criminal," the Florida Dept. of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) Executive Director Dave Kerner said in a statement. According to reports, Harjinder Singh has been staying in the USA illegally since 2018. He reportedly carried a California commercial driver's licence. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement has issued a detainer against him. Singh remains in custody on state and federal charges, but the FLHSMV said that he will be deported when the state charges are resolved. If convicted of homicide, he faces prison time in Florida before deportation, New York Post claimed. "Illegal aliens that have no legal right to be in our country certainly should not be granted commercial drivers' licenses," Abigail Jackson was quoted as saying.

This act governs the exhibition of cinema in the state. "If he has taken the required permission, he should at least show the media the documents," added the officer. Vivek Agnihotri talks about the halting of 'The Bengal Files' trailer launch Vivek Agnihotri claimed that the trailer launch of 'The Bengal Files' was halted at a five-star hotel in Kolkata on Saturday. Speaking to the reporters, he mentioned, 'It has happened in front of you, camera captured, the trailer launch of a CBFC-approved movie was stopped, this is anarchy, dictatorship. Police had come so that we could not show the movie.' "The film talks about demographic change, and they don't want to show it because the state itself empowers demographic change.
