TMC-BJP war of words after 2 found dead in Khejuri
1 2 Khejuri: The deaths of two persons under mysterious circumstances on the sidelines of a local function at Khejuri in East Midnapore on Friday night have sparked a tussle among rival political parties. The bodies of Sujit Das, 23, of Purba Bhangonmari, and Sudhir Chandra Paik, 65, of Jhantihari, were found at the venue of a 'jalsa' at Bhangonmari village. While BJP claimed they were murdered, Trinamool said a police investigation would uncover the truth. Locals said the duo might have been electrocuted after a halogen light fell on them. In a statement on X, Bengal leader of opposition Suvendu Adhikari said the victims had gone to attend a Muharram festival at the Janaka area of Khejuri last night when they were murdered. He named seven people allegedly responsible for the deaths, including a local TMC neta. "The presence of injury marks and blood stains on the deceased suggest suspicious circumstances behind these deaths," he said. Trinamool spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said: "This constant attempt to lace everything with religious poison to incite people is disgraceful politics."

Eyewitness in 1984 Pul Bangash Gurudwara case denies ‘falsely' implicating Tytler
The 70-year-old woman eyewitness had also claimed before Special Judge Jitendra Singh that she kept mum, fearing for her only son's life and revealed Tytler's name for the first time in 2016 to the CBI after her son passed away. Earlier on Friday, Harpal Kaur Bedi, an eyewitness to the killing of three men by a mob that torched the north Delhi gurdwara during the riots, had deposed that she had seen Tytler instigating the mob and asking them to 'loot and kill the Sikhs'. New Delhi, Jul 12 (PTI) A key witness in the Pul Bangash Gurdwara case related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots on Saturday told a Delhi court that she was not pressured by the CBI or Sikh leaders to 'falsely' implicate Congress leader Jagdish Tytler. During her cross-examination by Tytler's counsel on Saturday, Bedi said, 'It is wrong to suggest that I was pressurised by the CBI or leaders of the Sikh community to name Jagdish Tytler in the case to falsely implicate him. 'It is further wrong to suggest that my entire testimony is a deliberate attempt to frame accused Jagdish Tytler in the case. It is wrong to suggest that my testimony is false and fabricated.' The court has posted the matter for recording the statement of another witness on July 21. The CBI had on May 20, 2023, filed a chargesheet against Tytler in the case. Tytler 'incited, instigated and provoked the mob assembled at Pul Bangash Gurudwara Azad Market' on November 1, 1984, that resulted in the burning down of the Gurdwara and the killing of three Sikhs — Thakur Singh, Badal Singh and Gurcharan Singh — the CBI alleged in its chargesheet. The CBI had also said in its chargesheet that Tytler came out of a white Ambassador car in front of the gurdwara on November 1, 1984, and instigated a mob by shouting 'kill the Sikhs, they have killed our mother'. Anti-Sikh riots had erupted in several parts of the country in the aftermath of the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards on October 31, 1984.

Police in UP's Sitapur launch probe after video shows man confronting SI over bribe
The video shows Deepak Mishra of the Reusa police station area confronting SI Srinivas Pande, alleging that the latter had demanded a Rs 25,000 bribe to settle a dispute arising from an accident involving Mishra's tractor and a pickup vehicle that had occurred in the past. According to police, the incident occurred on Thursday evening in the Tambour police station area. Sitapur (UP), Jul 12 (PTI) Sitapur police have launched an inquiry after a video went viral purportedly showing a man confronting a sub-inspector (SI) over a bribe payment. Mishra told media he has already paid Rs 15,000 of the demanded sum. In the video, Mishra is seen physically stopping Pande's motorcycle, demanding the return of his alleged bribe money. A heated argument ensued, which was eventually diffused by bystanders, leading to Mishra letting go of the bike. Following the video, police initiated an inquiry under Leharpur circle officer. Officials stated that preliminary findings suggest the parties in the original accident had settled the matter with Deepak. In a statement issued on Saturday, Sitapur police asserted that Mishra appeared to be in a 'drunken state' in the video, adding that his allegations of the SI taking money are 'insufficient evidence' to prove the claim. The police are continuing their investigation into the matter. PTI COR CDN AMJ AMJ This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.
