Four years after Surendrangar man, minor son were killed in ‘fake encounter', FIR lodged against 7 police personnel
Following three years of legal battle by a teenaged girl against an alleged fake encounter in which her father and minor brother were killed in Gujarat's Surendranagar four years ago, an FIR was filed against a sub-inspector and six other police personnel in the case. Hanifaben Jatmalek, the mother-in-law of the deceased Hanifkhan Jatmalek and the legal guardian of his daughter Suhana, lodged an FIR against the seven accused at the Bajana police station on Thursday. It is the same police station where the accused, including police sub inspector (PSI) Virendrasinh Jadeja, Head Constables Rajeshbhai Mithapara and Kirit Solanki; and Constables Shaileshbhai Kathevadiya, Digvijaysinh Zala, Prahladbhai Charmata and Manubhai Fatepara, were posted at the time of incident in 2021. The accused were booked under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 302 (murder) and 114 (abettor present when crime is committed). Suhana told The Indian Express, 'After a long legal battle, we are now satisfied that an offence has been registered against the accused police officers who had, in a fake encounter, killed my father and my brother. I will get justice only if these police personnel are strictly punished, so that neither them nor any other policeman dare to take such action in the future.' In 2022, Suhana, who was 13 at the time, filed a writ petition with the Gujarat High Court, requesting legal action against the accused policemen. The quorum of Gujarat HC Chief Justice Sunita Agarwal and Justice Pranav Trivedi, on July 26, 2024, passed and order, stating, 'The petitioner is at liberty to approach the court of concerned Magistrate, by moving an application under section 156(3), of Code of Criminal Procedure. On such an application being filed along with the copy of this order, the concerned Magistrate shall make necessary inquiry and do the needful strictly, in accordance with law.' Suhana had filed an application with Surendranagar district Dhrangadhra Patdi JMFC (Judicial Magistrate First Class) on April 17 this year. Judge R R Zimba passed an order stating that Bajana police should register an offence against the seven police personnel. 'The investigation should be done by a Deputy Superintendent of Police rank officer, and a report should be submitted to the court,' the court had added. According to Hanifaben's FIR, 'On November 6, 2021, Bajana police sub-inspector Jadeja and six other policemen came to our house in Gediya village in private vehicles and dressed in plain clothes. They posed as police personnel, caught hold of Hanifkhan and made him sit in the car. At this, Hanif's 14-year-old son Madeen came out of the house and tried to prevent them (since they were dressed as civilians) from taking his father away. PSI Jadeja took out a revolver from his pocket and shot Madeen on the chest at point-blank range, killing him on the spot. As Hanifkhan struggled with police staffers, he was also shot dead by PSI Jadeja.' The FIR further stated, 'As the neighbours gathered, the cops left the spot and, later, lodged a police complaint of attempt to murder against Hanifkhan's family members. The purpose was to hide the encounter. Even after this incident, the accused police personnel continued to threaten us.' Surendranagar district's Deputy Superintendent of police J D Purohit, who is the investigating officer in the case, said, 'I have received the charge of the investigation today. I will call the complainant and the witnesses in the case and record their statements. I will also check the status of the complaint lodged by PSI Jadeja against the family members and relatives of Hanifkhan. The seven accused police personnel will be called and their statements will be recorded… If the policemen are found guilty in my investigation, we will arrest them. It will take around two to three months for the investigation to conclude.'

"His Phone Got Under The Seat...": How Ravindra Jadeja Escaped Meeting MS Dhoni
India and Chennai Super Kings player Ravindra Jadeja has played a lot of cricket under MS Dhoni's captaincy, be it in international arena or in the Indian Premier League. While Dhoni called time on his career at the highest level in 2020, he continues to play with Jadeja for Chennai Super Kings. Both the players share a great camaraderie, but things were not like this during the forming years of Jadeja. In a recent interview, the all-rounder revealed that he used to hesitate to talk to Dhoni at the beginning. He also explained in detail how he escaped his first interaction with Dhoni. Jadeja made the revelation while speaking to former India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin on the latter's YouTube channel. Talking about the first time he saw Dhoni, Jadeja said, "The first time I met him was the Challenger Trophy in Chennai in 2005. He was going to Chennai from Mumbai. I was sitting in the Economy class and Mahi bhai was sitting in the Business class. People started talking about that Dhoni is sitting at the front. I always used to hesitate to talk to Dhoni. I even get hesitated now as well, whenever he is not in the best of moods. He might not tell you, but it is evident from the face that he doesn't want to talk." "Back then I was a kid and thus had a lot of fear about it. That was the first time I saw him in the flight. My manager told me that I had to go to the hotel from airport with him. I started thinking, 'How would I react in front of him. What would I talk to him?' "His phone got under the seat and that is why he took some time to retrieve it. I found it a good opportunity to escape and left the flight immediately." Jadeja turned out to become India's one of the best all-rounders and his talent got a lot of support under Dhoni's leadership, which eventually saw the player shine at the highest level.

After Shubman Gill's appointment, veteran all-rounder reveals Test captaincy aspirations
India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has revealed that he harbours captaincy aspirations in the Test format. Speaking to Ravichandran Ashwin on the Kutti Stories podcast, Jadeja revealed that he would definitely take up the Test captaincy if given a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to hand over the captaincy of the Test team to Shubman Gill after the retirements of stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The board decided to look towards the future, making Rishabh Pant the deputy of Gill. Bar those two, only Jasprit Bumrah was in the running for the leadership role, as revealed by chief selector Ajit by Ashwin if he would want to captain the Test side, Jadeja said that he had been under the leadership of several top skippers in his time and would definitely want to captain the Indian team in the red-ball format. "Yes, definitely! Over the years, I have played under different captains. I know the mindset of every single captain whom I have played under, and I also understand what players need and their mindset," the 36-year-old Jadeja told his former India teammate Ravichandran Ashwin."Every captain has a different mindset on how he wants to run the team. I have played under MS Dhoni in every format, and his thinking is very simple. If he feels that a batter can hit shots in a particular region, he keeps the fielder there to make the batter uncomfortable," Jadeja Jadeja is the last top-flight player left in the current Indian team which dominated in the mid-2010s under the leadership of Virat Kohli. Before Rohit and Kohli, R Ashwin, the host of the podcast, called time on his career midway through the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023–24 in Test Captaincy Difficult?In the England tour, Jadeja's spot is not one hundred percent guaranteed as the Indian management have shown their affinity towards Washington Sundar in recent on the burden of captaincy in the red-ball format, Jadeja said that captaining a Test side was much easier than the high-intensity matches in T20 cricket. Jadeja argued that Test captaincy was a lot about calculations but was relatively simpler than the white-ball formats."In Test cricket, you have to change two or three fielders as per the need of the bowler, and you don't need to change the field as per batsmen. Captaincy in Test cricket is way more different. It's simple but calculative. It's not complicated like IPL or T20s, where every ball is an event," Jadeja concluded on the announced their squad for the England series on May 24. Shubman Gill was named the captain, while Rishabh Pant was given the responsibility of Shubman's deputy in the 18-man Test squad for the tour of England:Shubman Gill (captain), Rishabh Pant (wk) (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (wk), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, MD Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Watch
