Under his leadership, goons and mafias are shown their rightful place, which is very important for a progressive society." In another X post on Sunday, Pal said, "There are some people who always comment on my personal life and keep writing about it. I have no problem if they write, but they should write the truth, because I contested the election from their party, their leader knows everything..." Live Events "They knew I lost the election in 2017. Taking this as an opportunity, some leaders -- Atiq Ahmed (gangster-turned-politician who was shot dead in 2023) and my maternal relatives who wanted to contest the MLA election -- started working to end my political career. I was unable to fight Raju Pal 's (her husband) case. A conspiracy was hatched against me by Atiq Ahmed, in which my own family members were involved," she wrote in the long post. She further wrote that after Atiq was murdered, her brothers took up her case. "They told me to get married, that they are with me. But a few days after the marriage, I came to know the truth. These same people were sitting somewhere and talking that now the case against Atiq will be closed. But I will not back off." Pal also mentioned that she has applied for divorce. "Now when I spoke the truth in the assembly, despite knowing everything, out of irritation and revenge, they hatched a conspiracy to tarnish my image and kept writing about my personal life," she said. "Even today, the trust and love of the people remain with me. The people of my city ( Prayagraj ) West and Chail know everything about my sorrows. That is why their support is still with me. Out of fear of this, some 'samajwadis' are using kinds of tricks to tarnish my image," she added. Pooja Pal was expelled from the Samajwadi Party on Thursday, just hours after she praised Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in the Assembly for "reducing to dust" gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed, who was accused of murdering her husband Raju Pal in 2005. During the 24-hour special discussion on 'Vision 2047' during the ongoing monsoon session of the Assembly, Pal had said that the present government's anti-crime policies had brought her husband's killers to the ground. "The chief minister has done the work of reducing my husband's murderer Atiq Ahmed into dust. He saw my hidden tears, which no one saw for years," she told the House. Pooja Pal's husband Raju Pal, a former BSP MLA From Prayagraj West, was shot dead nine days after their wedding in January 2005, in an attack linked to Atiq Ahmed. Ahmed, a former MP and multiple-time MLA from Allahabad West, was serving a life sentence when he and his brother Ashraf were shot dead at point-blank range by three assailants while they were being escorted by police for a medical check-up in Prayagraj on April 15, 2023. The killing took place in full view of the media and was broadcast live.

Police recover 295 medals stolen from legendary swimmer Bula Choudhury's house in Hindmotor; Padma Shri brooch still missing
HINDMOTOR: Two days after former Indian swimming legend Bula Choudhury reported a theft at her Hindmotor house in which all the medals she won at competitions were stolen, Changannagar Commissionerate and CID announced the recovery of the medals. The only article that has not been found is a Padma Shri brooch that Choudhury used to wear on special occasions. Choudhury told police she would check if the precious article is at the Kasba residence in Kolkata, where she now lives. Chandannagar Commissionerate deputy commissioner of police Arnab Biswas, at a press conference on Sunday, said the thief, one Krishna Chowdhury from Rishra, broke into the house at Debaipukur in Hindmotor between August 12 and 14 and stole the medals as well as taps from washrooms in the house. You Can Also Check: Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata | Gold Rates Today in Kolkata | Silver Rates Today in Kolkata A special team under the direction of Police Commissioner Amit P Javalgi, with assistance from CID fingerprint and forensic experts, carried out the investigation and apprehended Krishna. Following his interrogation, 295 medals were recovered. Sources said Krishna was a drug addict and stole the medals and taps as they were made of metal and could fetch money to fund his addiction. "The accused broke into the house on August 12 and stole a few things. That was a reconnaissance as well. We suspect he kept watch on the house to see if the theft was detected. When it wasn't, he entered again on August 14 and emptied out the rest," said Biswas, adding that police would raise awareness among people to prevent thefts in empty houses. "If informed, police will remain vigilant and increase patrols in the area," he said. Choudhury, who became distraught after the theft, was back to her bubbly self on Sunday following the recovery of the medals. Profusely thanking the police for acting promptly, she said the cops kept their promise. "I am so delighted. Commercially, the medals are of no value. They are pieces of metal. But for me, they are invaluable and represent the sweat, toil, and success in a competitive sport in which I gave the best years of my life," she told TOI. Choudhury, who has been considering turning the Hindmotor house that contains all the memorabilia of her sporting achievements into a museum, is reconsidering the plan following the latest theft. The house was burgled twice earlier as well. In 2014, there were two thefts in a span of seven months. This time, the theft was detected on Friday when Choudhury's brother went to the house in Hindmotor, Hooghly, to get it cleaned as she was supposed to visit it on Sunday. Choudhury last visited the house a month ago. Since then, it was under padlock. The theft took place through the rear door. The cabinet containing all medals she won between 1979 and 1995 was cleaned out. These included 10 golds she won at two editions of the South Asian Federation Games in Kathmandu and Colombo.
