Jawan injured in Maoist IED blast in Jharkhand's Chaibasa airlifted for treatment
Ranchi: A jawan of the Jharkhand Police Force sustained injuries on Monday after stepping on an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) planted by Maoists in the Chotanagra police station area of West Singhbhum district (Chaibasa) in Jharkhand, officials said. The injured jawan, identified as Manoj Kumar Damai, was immediately airlifted to Ranchi for medical treatment. The incident occurred during a joint anti-Maoist operation carried out by personnel from the CRPF's elite CoBRA battalion and the Jharkhand Jaguar unit in the dense forest region of Chotanagra. Security forces had received Intelligence inputs suggesting the movement of a Maoist squad led by Anal, a senior CPI (Maoist) leader carrying a reward of Rs 1 crore on his head. During the search operation, Damai accidentally triggered an IED. He was given preliminary first aid at the site and then flown by helicopter to a private hospital in Ranchi, where he is currently undergoing treatment. Confirming the incident, Chaibasa Superintendent of Police Ashutosh Shekhar said that the anti-Maoist operation in the area is going on. 'The forces are actively pursuing Maoist hideouts in the region. Our campaign will continue,' he said. This is not the first such incident in the area. On April 12, Jawan Sunil Dhan succumbed to injuries sustained in a similar IED blast in the same police station jurisdiction. Another Constable was injured in that incident. In March, three security personnel, including an Assistant Commandant of the CoBRA battalion, were injured in an IED explosion in the Jaraikela police station area, also under the Chaibasa district. Despite the challenges posed by such attacks, security forces have made significant gains in the campaign against Maoist insurgents. In April, forces discovered and destroyed 11 underground bunkers in the Babudera area of Chaibasa -- shelters that were reportedly used by top Maoist leaders. In February and March, six Maoist arms dumps were located, and a large cache of weapons was seized. Security agencies have said that senior CPI (Maoist) leaders including Misir Besra, Anmol, Mochu, Anal, Asim Mandal, Ajay Mahato, Sagen Angaria, and Ashwin remain active in the Saranda and Kolhan regions of Jharkhand along with their squads.

Banned UK baby names and six reasons why they are outlawed including 'vulgar' titles
The UK doesn't have an official list of banned baby names, but there are several rules that parents must follow Choosing a baby name is one of life's toughest decisions. Some parents may opt for traditional titles while others will go for the kooky, eccentric, and 'out there' options. But if you are the latter and live in the UK, issues could arise. While parents typically have the freedom to name their offspring whatever they like, the UK Deed Police Office details certain strict guidelines to ensure some names will never appear on a birth certificate. The objective? To shield kids from possible harm, mockery, or confusion - and to ensure official documents remain clear and uniform. So, which monikers are actually off-limits? There's no published roster of prohibited names in the UK. However, that doesn't imply an absence of regulations, reports the Mirror. As per the UK Deed Poll Office, names could be declined for several reasons: Containing profanity or vulgar terms. Incorporating symbols, digits, or punctuations. Being excessively lengthy or tricky to articulate. Having the potential to deceive, such as rank labels like "King" or professional titles like "Doctor". Being judged unsuitable or in conflict with public norms. In essence, anything that might subject a kid to ridicule, teasing, or mistaken identity could be vetoed. Examples of names that got red-flagged - "Cyanide" – Prohibited because of its toxic associations. - "Martian" – Axed over possible ridicule. - "King" – Disallowed due to its semblance to a titled role. - "Princess" – Also prevented for projecting a deceptive image. The UK Deed Poll Office website states: "While we don't have an official list of banned names, we assess applications on a case-by-case basis, and names that could cause a child harm or confusion will likely be rejected." A UK baby name drama emerged involving the names 'Cyanide,' as mentioned above, and 'Preacher'. The high-profile incident saw a mother try to name her twins 'Cyanide' and 'Preacher,' sparking huge debate among Brits. Eventually, the courts approved the name "Preacher" but barred the use of "Cyanide". The UK Deed Poll Office commented that Cyanide was deemed not suitable due to its strong association with poison and potential harm to the child's welfare. It comes amid a crackdown on controversial baby names worldwide. The UK is monitoring baby naming choices closely, and it is not alone. Countries such as New Zealand, Germany, and Iceland have also established regulations. New Zealand has put a stop to names like "Lucifer, "4Real," and "Anal". Similarly, Germany has specifically forbidden names like "Adolf Hitler" and "Osama Bin Laden." Should the General Register Office or a local registrar reject a given name in the UK, parents are required to settle on an alternative option. No birth certificates or passports are issued until an acceptable name is finalised. Parents are urged to heed the warning from the UK Deed Poll Office as names that fall foul of these standards can still face legal challenges after registration if they're found to compromise the child's well-being. To ensure that baby names are within legal boundaries, the UK Deed Poll Office recommends that parents follow certain guidelines: Refrain from using offensive or rude language. Exclude symbols or numbers. Opt for names that are short and simple to spell. Stay away from official titles such as "Lord" or "Sir". While the UK is quite permissive regarding baby names, there are still certain restrictions. These rules aim to protect children from potential harm and prevent confusion in official records, according to the Deed Poll Office. The Deed Poll Office also provides an array of resources and support for families needing assistance in choosing a suitable name. So, before you decide on a distinctive name for your new-born, check its legality, or find yourself in a sticky situation. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Banned baby names in the UK: full list of rules and cases where parents were told 'No'
Picking the perfect name for your baby can be one of the most exciting—and personal—decisions any parent makes. But in the UK, some names are strictly off-limits, and you might be surprised by what's not allowed. According to the UK Deed Poll Office, while mums and dads generally have the freedom to call their children whatever they like, a list of strict rules means certain names will never make it onto a birth certificate. The aim? To protect children from potential harm, ridicule, or confusion—and to make sure official documents stay clear and standardised. So What Names Are Actually Banned? The UK doesn't publish an official list of banned baby names, but that doesn't mean there aren't rules. The UK Deed Poll Office confirms names may be rejected if they: Include offensive language or obscenity Contain symbols, numbers or punctuation marks Are too long or hard to pronounce Might mislead people, such as titles like 'King' or 'Doctor' Are deemed inappropriate or against public policy In plain terms: anything that might get a child bullied, laughed at, or confused with a medical professional could be off the table. There have already been some headline-grabbing cases of baby names being rejected in the UK. These include: 'Cyanide' – Banned for its direct link to poison 'Martian' – Scrapped due to concerns about ridicule 'King' – Rejected because it could be mistaken for a title 'Princess' – Also barred for giving a misleading impression The UK Deed Poll Office website says: 'While we don't have an official list of banned names, we assess applications on a case-by-case basis, and names that could cause a child harm or confusion will likely be rejected.' Global Crackdown on Extreme Baby Names The UK isn't the only country keeping an eye on the baby name trend. Other nations including New Zealand, Germany, and Iceland have drawn similar lines in the sand. In New Zealand, names like 'Lucifer,' '4Real,' and 'Anal' have all been banned, while Germany has outlawed names such as 'Adolf Hitler' and 'Osama Bin Laden.' The Twins Named 'Cyanide' and 'Preacher' One of the UK's most talked-about baby name controversies involved a mother who wanted to call her newborn twins 'Cyanide' and 'Preacher.' While the courts allowed 'Preacher' to stand, 'Cyanide' was blocked. The UK Deed Poll Office said the decision was based on the fact that Cyanide is known primarily as a deadly poison, making it 'inappropriate and harmful.' What Happens If Your Baby's Name Gets Rejected? If the General Register Office or local registrar refuses a baby name, parents must choose a different one. Birth certificates and even passports won't be issued until a compliant name is selected. The UK Deed Poll Office warns that even after registration, names that are found to breach the rules can be challenged in court—particularly if they affect the child's welfare. How to Pick a Name That's Legal and Unique To stay on the right side of the law, the UK Deed Poll Office advises that parents: Avoid offensive or rude language Don't include symbols or numbers Keep it short and easy to spell Steer clear of official titles like 'Lord' or 'Sir' And if you're not sure, the Deed Poll Office offers plenty of resources and support to help families make the right call. Final Thoughts While the UK remains fairly liberal when it comes to baby names, not everything goes. The restrictions, say experts at the UK Deed Poll Office, are all about protecting kids from harm and avoiding chaos in official documents. So if you're thinking about giving your baby a unique name—just make sure it's legal first.
