Guwahati Police summons ‘The Wire' editor despite Supreme Court protection
The Crime Branch in Guwahati has issued a summons to The Wire 's founding editor Siddharth Varadarajan in a first information report pertaining to an article on Operation Sindoor. The summons, issued on August 12, came despite the Supreme Court granting protection from arrest to Varadarajan and members of the foundation running the news outlet in another FIR filed by the Assam Police. Ankur Jain, the joint commissioner of police in Guwahati, told Scroll that the summons was issued as the Supreme Court order had come on a case filed in 'some other district'. In the latest notice, Varadarajan has been directed to appear before the investigating officer at the Crime Branch Police Station in Panbazar on August 22 at 11.30 am. The earlier case against Varadarajan was registered at Morigaon police station on July 11 under Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which pertains to acts endangering the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India. It followed the publication of an article about Operation Sindoor titled ''IAF Lost Fighter Jets to Pak Because of Political Leadership's Constraints': Indian Defence Attache'. The fresh summons issued to Varadarajan cites the same charges, in addition to the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections pertaining to promoting enmity between different groups, publishing false or misleading information and criminal conspiracy. On August 12, a Supreme Court bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi granted protection from arrest to Vardarajan while hearing a writ petition challenging the constitutionality of Section 152. The petition was filed by the Foundation for Independent Journalism, which owns The Wire, and Varadarajan. The petitioners argued that the law was a repackaged version of the colonial sedition law. The bench issued a notice to the Union government and tagged the plea with another petition challenging the validity of the provision. Advocate Nitya Ramakrishnan, appearing for the petitioners, argued that the news article was a factual report of a seminar organised by a university in Indonesia and statements made by an Indian defence attaché on the military tactics used during Operation Sindoor. She added that the article also carried the Indian embassy's response to the defence attaché's remarks, which had also been reported by several other news outlets. In May 2022, the Supreme Court had ordered proceedings and criminal prosecutions for sedition under Section 124A of the erstwhile Indian Penal Code to be kept in abeyance. Critics have argued in the Supreme Court, in a separate matter, that Section 124A was slipped in again into the law in the guise of Section 152 when the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita replaced the Indian Penal Code in July 2024.

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.
