Angry mob heckles Kargil veteran's family, calls them illegal immigrants: War hero says, ‘I fought for this country'
In Pune, the family of Kargil war veteran Hakimuddin Shaikh was allegedly heckled by a group of 30–40 men. They came with the police to their home late at night on July 26. The angry mob demanded proof of the family's Indian citizenship. The family is originally from Pratapgarh in Uttar Pradesh. They have been living in Pune since 1960. Hakimuddin Shaikh's family has a proud Army history. Shaikh Naeemuddin and Shaikh Mohammad Salim served in the Indian Army in the 1965 and 1971 wars. 'I fought for this country in Kargil. My entire family belongs to this nation. Why are we being asked to prove it?" The Times of India quoted the war hero as asking. That night in Pune's Chandan Nagar, the mob allegedly refused to accept their valid ID papers. When the family members showed Aadhaar cards, the group called them fake. According to the family members, the group shouted, kicked the door and scared the women. Male members of the Kargil war veteran's family were taken to the police station by midnight, according to the publication. The family claims they were told they might be declared Bangladeshi or Rohingya if documents weren't shown by 3 AM. Hakimuddin served in the Army from 1984 to 2000 and fought in the 1999 Kargil war. The 58-year-old veteran wonders why his family has to prove their nationality. Police say they were just verifying reports of illegal immigrants. "Our team asked for documents. Once it was clear they were Indian, we let them go. The police team was not accompanied by any third party. We have video footage," TOI quoted DCP Somay Munde as saying. However, Hakimuddin's brother Irshad paints a different picture. According to him, unknown men kicked their doors and shouted slogans. A plainclothes officer tried to control the situation while a police van waited nearby during the incident. According to Hakimuddin's nephew, police later called them again, made them wait but didn't return the documents. 'We waited over two hours before being told the inspector wasn't coming. Our documents are still with them," he said. Police commissioner Amitesh Kumar says an inquiry is underway. According to him, no forced entry has been found so far. However, Kumar has assured that action will be taken if any negligence is found.

Mahindra Vision SXT teased again: Unveil date, all you need to know
Mahindra is once again stirring excitement in the lead-up to its annual product showcase on August 15. The company, so far, has shared a series of teasers, including the latest one of the Vision SXT concept. The new clip gives us a better look at the rear end of the vehicle, revealing distinctive elements like vertical tail lamps and two spare tyres mounted in the bed. All signs point to this being a rugged pickup concept that's likely based on the Scorpio-N platform, just like the Global Pik Up Concept that was shown in South Africa back in 2023. This is the second teaser for the Vision SXT. The first one offered a partial view of the bold, rugged front fascia. The Vision SXT is one of several upcoming concept vehicles Mahindra plans to showcase at its "Freedom NU" event on Independence Day. Mahindra Thar Roxx: Lifestyle-changing SUV | TOI Auto Others in the lineup include the Vision T, Vision S, and Vision X. All these concepts will be built on Mahindra's new NFA (New Flexible Architecture) platform, which has been developed at the company's Chakan facility. The architecture is engineered to accommodate a range of powertrains: from petrol and diesel to hybrid and full-electric setups. While the design details are still under wraps, the twin spare tyres and tough rear profile hint at the Vision SXT's off-road intent. It's expected to carry forward the same utility-first philosophy as the Global Pik Up, but potentially with more premium or electrified variants in the future.
