Etah (UP), Aug 11 (PTI) Cattle remains were found in a pond here, triggering anger among locals and protests by Hindu organisations, police said on Monday.

They informed Vishva Hindu Parishad district president Gaurav Varshney, who reached the spot and alerted police. Soon, a large number of workers from various Hindu outfits gathered at the site demanding the arrest of those involved.
Acting Kotwali in-charge Jaiveer Singh said they were unable to retrieve the remains on Sunday night.

DA case: Mohali court defers Majithia's bail plea to August 13

A local court on Tuesday once again deferred the decision on the bail plea of senior Shiromani Akali Dal leader and former Punjab minister Bikramjit Singh Majithia, who remains in judicial custody since July 6 in connection with a disproportionate assets case. Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia remains in judicial custody since July 6 in connection with a disproportionate assets case. (PTI) The hearing on the bail plea took place on Tuesday, during which lawyers from both sides presented their arguments for about an hour. However, no verdict was announced and the court posted the matter for August 13. The court was also expected to pronounce its decision on Majithia's plea seeking a change of barrack in jail. After hearing arguments on this petition as well, the court reserved its decision until August 21. Majithia's counsel told reporters that this was the sixth time the court had deferred his client's bail plea. He alleged that the Punjab government was deliberately delaying the matter and had failed to substantiate its claims. On June 25, Majithia was arrested by the Vigilance Bureau at his residence in Amritsar in connection with the disproportionate assets case. He is currently lodged in Nabha Jail. The disproportionate assets case against Majithia stems from an ongoing investigation by a special investigation team (SIT) of the Punjab Police, which is also probing his alleged involvement in the 2021 drug case. Majithia had earlier been booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, based on a 2018 report submitted by the state's Anti-Drug Special Task Force (STF). He spent over five months in Patiala Jail before being granted bail by the Punjab and Haryana high court in August 2022.

Saffron flags atop 200-yr-old mausoleum: No arrest made in UP's Fatehpur so far

1 2 Prayagraj: The entire Abunagar and adjoining areas under the limits of Kotwali Nagar police station in Fatehpur district were on Tuesday turned into a fortress after Monday's incident wherein members of Hindu organisations allegedly entered the Eidgah premises and hoisted saffron flags atop a 200-year-old mausoleum on the campus, claiming that it was raised at the site of a temple. However, no arrest was made till Tuesday evening. Police had on Monday lodged an FIR against 10 named individuals and 150 unknown persons for disturbing peace. Those named in the FIR included Abhishek Shukla, Dharmendra, Ashish Trivedi, Pappu Singh, Prasoon, Ritik Pal, Vinay Tiwari, Pushpraj Patel, Ajay Singh, and Devnath Dhakre. Kotwali Nagar police station inspector Tarkeshwar Rai told TOI that the situation remained peaceful throughout Tuesday. He further added that cops maintained a strict watch in the areas and adequate forces were deployed at various locations accordingly. Apart from senior officials camping and maintaining strict vigilance, cops on Tuesday carried out patrolling in Abunagar and adjoining areas to maintain law and order. No one was allowed to move towards the disputed site. The local administration and police appealed to citizens to maintain peace in the area. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Best Method for a Flat Stomach After 50 (It's Genius!)

While there were claims that members of the Hindu Mahasabha and other saffron groups damaged a part of a tomb near the mausoleum, the district administration denied any vandalism. Following the incident, an FIR against 10 named and 150 unidentified individuals was registered under sections 190, 191(2), 191(3), 301, 196 of the BNS Act, 07 of the CLA Act, and sections 2/3 of the Public Property Damage Prevention Act for forcibly entering and vandalising a disputed mausoleum site. Police claimed to have formed special teams to apprehend the people named in the FIR, but no arrest was made on Tuesday. Since last week, adequate police forces were deployed on the Eidgah campus after members of an organisation named Math Mandir Sangharsh Samiti submitted a memorandum to the Fatehpur district authorities claiming that the mausoleum of Nawab Abdul Samad was constructed at the site of the Thakurji temple. On Monday, scores of Hindu activists reached the spot unexpectedly, briefly overwhelming the police. Police resorted to lathicharge and summoned reinforcements from 10 police stations to contain the rampaging crowd after the members of the Hindu group outnumbered the cops present on the Eidgah campus and hoisted saffron flags atop the structure. Soon after the incident, senior cops reached the scene, conducted a flag march, and deployed additional SPs from five districts. The saffron flags were later removed, and both communities were urged to maintain peace. Three companies of the Provincial Armed Constabulary, officers from headquarters, and additional staff from the zone were deployed at the site, which remained under round-the-clock vigil.

Russia Accused Of Involvement In US Federal Court Cyberattack: Report

The compromised system is critical for handling sensitive judicial documents, including sealed records and filings. Russia has been accused of playing a role in a recent cyberattack targeting the computer system responsible for managing electronic records of the United States federal court system, according to a report by The New York Times published on Tuesday. Investigators are said to have uncovered evidence suggesting Russian involvement in the breach, though it remains unclear whether Russia acted as the primary perpetrator or was part of a broader group of actors responsible for the intrusion. The compromised system is critical for handling sensitive judicial documents, including sealed records and filings related to ongoing criminal investigations. A separate report by Politico highlighted fears that the hack may have exposed the identities of confidential informants, potentially endangering their safety and affecting ongoing legal proceedings. The investigation into the cyberattack is still underway, with authorities working to determine the full scope of the breach and assess the potential national security implications.
