Police recover stolen tractor from Hry after Cong MLA's complaint
2
Jaipur: Nearly two weeks after a tractor trolley was allegedly stolen from the residence of Dausa Congress MLA Deen Dayal Bairwa in Dausa, police recovered the vehicle from Haryana Saturday.
A car used by the suspects involved in the theft was also seized, but the thieves managed to escape and have not yet been arrested.
Police searched for the tractor trolley after the legislator took to X on July 7 and claimed that he was targeted by thieves three times in a month. Bairwa said that first his mobile phone was stolen, then a motorcycle from his home, and finally, a tractor trolley was taken.
A police officer, however, clarified that the MLA was not the owner of the tractor trolley and it was not parked inside his residence.
"The tractor belonged to Fateh Singh Gurjar, a resident of the Bassi area in Jaipur. He filed a complaint about the vehicle theft that occurred on July 6, after which teams were formed to trace it," the officer said.
According to police, CCTV footage and technical investigation helped track the vehicle to Palwal district in Haryana. Raids were carried out at the location where the tractor trolley was being hidden, but the suspects managed to escape.

A car was seized from the spot during the operation.
The officer added that the MLA had no direct connection with the theft other than the fact that it occurred near his residence. Following the series of incidents, Bairwa posted on X, writing, "In Dausa, thieves are becoming more daring, and the police seem to be just a name. The theft of my mobile on June 11, the motorcycle from my residence on June 14, and now the tractor trolley last night raises questions about law and order.
I urge the police to take swift action."
After Bairwa's post, former chief minister Ashok Gehlot and Leader of Opposition Tikaram Jully also criticised the state govt over the situation.

Chandigarh: Waris Punjab De chief and Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh , currently lodged in Dibrugarh jail under the National Security Act (NSA), is willing to undergo a dope test , his lawyer said. The statement comes in response to allegations of drug abuse levelled by his own associates, as mentioned in a Punjab Police chargesheet filed in the Ajnala court last month. Advocate Imaan Singh Khara, who serves as the legal advisor and chief spokesperson of Akali Dal Waris Punjab De recently met Amritpal in Dibrugarh jail. He told the TOI, "Bhai Sahib (Amritpal Singh) has said that instead of levelling false allegations, Punjab Police may get his dope test done. He has said if Punjab police want, they can come to Dibrugarh to get the test done." Khara added that Amritpal has demanded that once he undergoes a dope test, the political leaders accusing him of drug abuse should also be made to take the test. As per the police chargesheet, Amritpal's two associates, Bhagwant Singh alias and Varinder Singh Fauji, in their disclosure statements recorded before the police, claimed that Amritpal was "hooked on drugs" in Punjab and "consumed them in Assam's Dibrugarh jail too". Khara and advocate Ritu Raj Singh Sandhu, the counsel representing the associates of Amritpal, have dismissed the disclosure statements, accusing the police of trying to "defame" Amritpal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Hi Tabbola Undo Khara alleged that "police got the signatures on blank papers".

The documents include challan papers in Hari Nau (Gurpreet Singh) murder case, papers of grounds of detention of NSA, order of detention, and others. The documents are very voluminous and are in both English and Punjabi language. These are single-size printed legal size papers."

U.S.-Russia nuclear war: Is World War 3 happening? What we know so far
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads FAQs Donald Trump-led United States of America and Vladimir Putin-headed Russia are two of the most high profile nuclear armed countries. Any possibility of clashes will be nothing short of catastrophic and a possible World War III . In a warning to Russia, President Donald Trump said Friday he's ordering the repositioning of two U.S. nuclear submarines 'based on the highly provocative statements' of the country's former president, Dmitry Medvedev, who has raised the prospect of war online. A member of the Russian Parliament Duma has said that there are enough Russian nuclear submarines in the high seas to tackle two American subs dispatched by US President Donald Trump to counter number of Russian nuclear submarines in the world's oceans is significantly higher than the American ones, and the subs that US President Donald Trump ordered to be redirected to the appropriate regions have long been under their control. So no response from the Russian Federation to the American leader's statement about the submarines is required, a senior Russian lawmaker, Viktor Vodolatsky, was quoted as saying by on Friday, Trump wrote on his Truth Social post that he had ordered the redeployment of US submarines "to appropriate regions" allegedly over "extremely provocative statements" by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who is also the deputy chairman of the Russian Security United States has a total of 14 Ohio Class nuclear-powered submarines, each capable of carrying up to 24 Trident II D5 ballistic missiles that can deliver multiple thermonuclear warheads up to 4,600 miles. Between 8 and 10 Ohio Class submarines are deployed at any one time, according to the Nuclear Threat Initiative arms control currently operates 54 nuclear-powered submarines, including both strategic and attack types, out of an overall submarine force of about 79 vessels. 14 nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs)—Russia's sea‑based nuclear deterrent—comprise eight modern Borei‑class (Project 955/955A) and six older Delta III/IV boats. 13 nuclear-powered guided‑missile submarines (SSGNs), including six Oscar II‑class and seven Yasen‑class (Project 885/885M), serve as precision strike platforms with cruise- and hypersonic‑capable munitions. 16 nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSNs)—primarily upgraded Akula‑class and a few Sierra‑class boats used for anti‑submarine warfare and sea denial missions."Let the two US subs sail, they have been in the crosshairs for a long time now," the Russian lawmaker said. "A fundamental agreement that must be concluded between Russia and America so that the whole world calms down and stops talking about the beginning of World War III," he posted on his social media site that, based on the 'highly provocative statements' from Medvedev, he had 'ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that.' The president added, 'Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances.'Meanwhile, editor-in-chief of Russia in Global Affairs magazine, Fyodor Lukyanov, said that Trump's nuclear submarine statement should not be taken seriously for now."Trump, as we know, runs his own channel and reacts, so to speak, emotionally, humanly and spontaneously. I think that the armed forces, the naval forces of the United States read this with great surprise. If this exchange of opinions continues, and Trump continues to be drawn into it, then, one way or another, he will probably have to take some action. In my opinion, so far this is only at the level of words," Lukyanov told local private news channel RBC responding to a media question over US State Department Secretary Marco Rubio's recent interview with Fox News, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia agrees with the US administration that a direct military confrontation between Moscow and Washington must not happen."While Europeans are hysterically pushing for Ukraine's integration into NATO and preparing for potential conflict with Russia, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently reaffirmed a responsible stance, explicitly stating that a direct military confrontation between the United States and Russia must be avoided. We wholeheartedly concur with this position. Such shared understanding has been facilitated through constructive Russian-American dialogue," Lavrov wasn't clear what impact Trump's order would have on U.S. nuclear subs, which are routinely on patrol in the world's hotspots, but it comes at a delicate moment in the Trump administration's relations with has said that special envoy Steve Witkoff is heading to Russia to push Moscow to agree to a ceasefire in its war with Ukraine and has threatened new economic sanctions if progress is not made. He cut his 50-day deadline for action to 10 days, with that window set to expire next talk by a U.S. president about potential nuclear military capabilities raises concerns, the security experts said, noting that the United States has historically refrained from matching Russia's nuclear-saber rattling given the risks surrounding the world's most devastating weaponry."This is irresponsible and inadvisable," said Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association advocacy group. "No leader or deputy leader should be threatening nuclear war, let alone in a juvenile manner on social media."Hans Kristensen of the Federation of American Scientists noted that U.S. nuclear submarines – part of the so-called nuclear triad with bombers and land-based missiles – were always positioned to launch nuclear-armed missiles at targets in Russia."The subs are always there all the time and don't need to be moved into position," he said. "He grants Medvedev a response to these crazy statements."A1. President of USA is Donald Trump.A2. President of Russia is Vladimir Putin.

"Ignore Baseless Allegations": Poll Body On Rahul Gandhi's Voter Fraud Claim
New Delhi: Pushing back against fresh allegations of "vote theft" made by Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, the Election Commission of India has termed them "baseless". The Election Commission (EC) also said an email and a letter had been sent to Mr Gandhi in June, inviting him to meet and discuss the voter roll issue, but he had not responded. The Congress MP had, instead, made "wild allegations" and even threatened the EC and its staff, the poll panel said. Speaking to reporters about the Bihar Special Intensive Revision on Friday, the Congress leader had said the Commission was involved in the "vote theft" to benefit the BJP. "Votes are being stolen. We have open-and-shut proof that the Election Commission is involved in this vote theft. And I'm not saying this lightly, I'm speaking with 100% proof. And when we release it (proof), the entire country will come to know that the Election Commission is enabling vote theft. And who are they doing it for? They're doing it for the BJP," he was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. Mr Gandhi said the Congress had investigated and found enough evidence to constitute an "atom bomb". "We had suspicion of voter theft, and we got into its granularity. Since the Election Commission was not helpful in the investigation, we did our own. It took six months and the things we found are an 'atom bomb' and when this atom bomb explodes, you won't see the Election Commission in the country," the Congress MP said. "Most importantly, whoever in the Elections Commission is involved in this exercise, right from top to bottom, we will not spare you. You are working against India, and this is no less than treason. Wherever you are, even if you are retired, we will find you," he added. 'Threats' In a statement later in the day, the Election Commission said it ignores such "baseless allegations", adding that they were being made on a daily basis. "Despite the daily threats being given, we ask all election officials to ignore such irresponsible statements and work in a fair and transparent manner," the panel said. It pointed out that the Congress leader had been invited to discuss the voter rolls issue, but had not even responded. "EC sends a mail to him 12 June 2025. He does not come. EC sends him a letter on 12 June 2025, he does not respond. He has never sent any letter to EC on any issue whatsoever. It is very strange that he is making wild allegations and has now even started threatening EC and its staff. Deplorable!" it said in the statement. "EC ignores such irresponsible statements and asks all its staff to continue working impartially and transparently," it added. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju also objected to Mr Gandhi's claims and accused him of making "anti-India" remarks. "Rahul Gandhi is not a child. He is the Leader of the Opposition. Giving anti-national statements and disrupting Parliament is unacceptable," the Parliamentary Affairs minister said.
