Noida man abuses friend in drunken brawl, stabbed to death
Noida: A 30-year-old man was arrested for allegedly stabbing his friend to death during a drunken brawl on Monday night. While the accused had initially fled the spot, he was arrested later that same night. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to additional DCP Sumit Shukla, Sector 49 police received information around 9.30pm on Monday that 24-year-old Kapil, a resident of JJ Colony, had been stabbed to death. When cops reached the spot, Kapil's family and friends alleged his friend Jitendra, a resident of Prahlad Colony in Sector 49, had murdered him. "We registered a case under sections of murder and Kapil's remains were sent for post-mortem," Shukla said. Police traced Jitendra and arrested him later that night. They also recovered the knife used in the crime and a stone, both covered in blood, from his possession. "During interrogation, Jitendra revealed that he and Kapil would sit together and consume liquor every day. They knew each other for 10-12 years. A few months ago, Jitendra's nephew died, and he believed Kapil was responsible for it," Shukla said. On Monday, the two had been drinking together when they had a disagreement. Jitendra told cops that Kapil verbally abused him, and the dispute escalated, leading him to stabbing Kapil in a fit of rage. An FIR has been registered against the accused under BNS section 103(1) (murder) and sections 4, 25 and 27 of the Arms Act.

‘India already has wide support, should not have sent delegations'
Jitendra K Tuli moved to the USA in 1966 and is currently a resident of the USA. Jitendra has engineering degrees from India, France and the University of California, Berkeley. He is the President of Economic & Technical Consultants, Inc and has been involved with the Indian Politics since childhood and then got involved with the politics of the USA, Pakistan and Bangladesh. LESS ... MORE In the recent war between India and Pakistan, the ceasefire has been implemented by both the countries. In the news media of both the countries, there have been a number of news stories, some of which are fake, related to the war and the ceasefire. Even after the ceasefire, these news are continuing. Both countries have sent delegates to different countries to present their sides, which I feel India should have not done. As will be discussed, sending delegations is a political blunder. Before the recent war is discussed, a brief history of some of the major encounters between the two countries will be discussed. To date there have been several major wars and encounters between India and Pakistan, all of which were started by Pakistan. In late 1947 Pakistan attacked Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). Maharaja of J&K had not yet acceded with India and his army was unable to resist Pakistan's army which captured most of J&K. The Pakistani army was about to capture Srinagar and its airport. Then J&K Maharaja acceded to India and India immediately deployed its Army and Air Force to J&K which were able to push back the Pakistan Army out of two thirds of J&K. Unfortunately, then Prime Minister Pandit Nehru, at the insistence of the Governor General Mountbatten, agreed to a ceasefire. In 1965, again Pakistan attacked J&K. India counter responded militarily in J&K and also in Punjab. While Pakistan was able to capture a part of the Indian territory. India was able to capture much more of Pakistani territory. India's forces had reached the outskirts of Lahore. This war ended with a treaty executed at Tashkent initiated by Russia. In 1971, Pakistan refused to honor the national assembly election results and did not allow Shaikh Mujibur Rahman, whose party Awami League, had won the election, to become Pakistan's Prime Minister. Instead, Pakistan imposed martial law in Bangladesh. Mr. Rahman and a large number of other Bangladeshis were arrested and thousands of Bangladeshis were killed. Bangladeshis were opposed to martial law and formed a Mukti Bahni which, with the help of India's Army, started a fight against Pakistan's army in Bangladesh. In response, Pakistan started a war on the Western front also which was opposed by the Indian Army. The Indian Army captured a large part of Pakistan's territory and freed Bangladesh from Pakistan's control. Pursuant to Simla agreement, India released Pakistan's army personnel captured in Bangladesh and vacated the land captured in the Western Pakistan. In 1999, when India and Pakistan were ready to negotiate a peace deal, the Pakistan army, without the knowledge of the Pakistan government, attacked Kargil in J&K and occupied parts of the Kargil Districts. India successfully repulsed the Pakistani army from Kargil. As a result of this aggression, India refused to continue any negotiations. In 2014, India and Pakistan reached another peace agreement, which resolved all the issues including Pakistan's acceptance of J&K's status quo; Pakistan's inspired terrorists attacked Air Force bases in Pathan Kot and Uri. As a result, India refused to execute the treaty. On August 5, 2019, India revoked Article 370 and converted J&K into a centrally controlled Union Territory. Pakistan encouraged J&K Muslim residents to start a violent retaliation against the actions of the Indian government. However, this never happened. Pakistan could not adjust to the change of the J&K status and started encouraging the terrorists to engage in the killing of the J&K residents including tourists, pilgrims, and migrant labor. The latest attack was on April 22, 2025, when Pakistan's inspired terrorists killed 26 tourists for no reason which shook India. PM Modi issued a stern warning to Pakistan and terrorists. In the beginning, some Indians were proposing to pursue the diplomatic course of action against Pakistan. However, PM Modi and the Indian Army decided to pursue a military action against Pakistan. After careful analysis, specific targets were selected in POK and Punjab and air strikes were conducted on the night of May 7. The time between April 22 and May 7 perhaps gave sufficient time to Pakistan to prepare for a response. As usual, claims by India and Pakistan have been exaggerated. However, the fact is that India did hit more targets and damaged more areas in Pakistan than was done by Pakistan. There is no doubt that due to the use of Chinese and Turkish drones, the extent of Pakistan's response was unexpected. This conflict has given a new life to Pakistan's army which had become very unpopular because of its treatment of Imran Khan. Is the current conflict over now? No. Though not frequently, the cross-border firings may continue. However, Pakistan will reduce to some extent its support to the terrorist activities in J&K. The Indian government may target some terrorist residing in Pakistan as India had done in the past which I described in my article 'Tit for Tat, India's aggressive policy against terrorism' posted on January 10, 2024, in Times of India. Pakistan's main worry is the Indus Water Treaty. Pakistan would try every means including the appeasement of the Indian government. This war as well as India's ban on all business with Pakistan and suspension of the Indian Water Treaty ('IWT') would have an adverse effect on Pakistan's fragile economy. If India reduces the water flow to Pakistan, it could cause famine type situation in Pakistan. Due to its fragile economic situation, Pakistan realized that a long-term war would seriously damage its economic situation. After claiming a victory, Pakistan approached a number of countries including the U.S. for a ceasefire. Finally, the U.S. government decided to persuade both countries for a ceasefire. The news about Mr. Trump's threat that the refusal to a ceasefire would affect trade deals with India and Pakistan, is not correct. Pakistan did not need any threat as it was very willing to a ceasefire and no threat against India would have worked. The ceasefire occurred because of calls from the US Vice President Vance to Pakistan PM Sharif and India FM Jai Shankar. First Pakistan decided to send the delegations to a number of countries to present its version of the war and position on Kashmir and other issues. Then India also decided to send delegations of Members of Parliament to the USA and other countries to brief them about India's position and the war. India is a superpower and does not need to do any briefing. Sending delegations is a gross wastage of the taxpayer's money. The delegation will not change anything as India already has a wide support. Israel does not send delegations. Pakistan definitely needs to explain its position to the world, but India does not need to. Sending delegations got India into Pakistan's trap of reviving the Kashmir issue which the other countries have forgotten. Some Indian leaders condemned IMF for granting loans to Pakistan and expressed displeasure about India abstaining from the IMF's voting for loan and not opposing it. IMF's rules only allow voting for a resolution or abstaining and there is no provision for voting against any resolution. Some Pakistani sources and Indian opposition parties have claimed that Trump has placed both Pakistan and India on the same level. This is nonsense. First, India and U.S. business is at a much higher level than that with Pakistan. After India's independence, all U.S. Presidents have invited Indian Prime Ministers to White House which, with one exception, has not happened in the case of Pakistan. During his first term, President Trump imposed a unique restriction on the Staff of Pakistan Embassy in Washington, DC which prohibited them travelling more than 20 miles from Washington, DC. Such a ban on any country was unprecedented. In fact, India itself has put herself at Pakistan's level by sending delegations. Should the current situation continue forever? Absolutely not. If Pakistan softens its rhetoric related to India and J&K and support of terrorists, India may allow visas to family members, friends, tourists, sportsmen, artists, and scholars. It may be advisable for India to open the businesses and other communication channels including medical tourism. Several rich Pakistanis use Indian medical facilities and doctors. Nawaz Sharif's wife got her knee replaced in India. If all things go well, both countries can proceed to have a normal relation with each other. It should be pointed out that the younger educated Pakistanis do not care about Kashmir and are proud of their Hindu heritage. Many Pakistanis like Indian movies. Hopefully, one day Pakistan will shed her historical animosity toward India and a good relationship will be established between India and Pakistan.

This actor beat Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna in 1984 with one movie, his name was...
The year 1984 proved to be very special for Jitendra's career. This year Jitendra came up with a film that took over the box office. This film proved to be the 5th highest grossing film of that year. This film proved to be a milestone for Jitendra's career. But this film became a cause of crisis for many stars of that era. That film was the blockbuster 'Tohfa', which hit the theatres in 1984. Through this film, Jitendra alone overshadowed Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, and Rajesh Khanna. The stardom of all these stars was also lost. One song of the film made people crazy. Jitendra is one of the most successful actors of the Hindi film industry. Jitendra not only has millions of fans but he also set a new trend of acting with his charming style. A newcomer like Jitendra challenged the stardom of the veteran superstars of the Hindi film industry. The story of the film was about two sisters who fall in love with the same boy. Along with Jeetendra's film, Amitabh's Sharabi was also released that year. People liked this film a lot but in terms of earnings, it could not stand in front of Tohfa at all. In the same year 1984, Dharmendra's Rajtilak and Rajesh Khanna-Dharmendra starrer Dharam Aur Kanoon also hit the theatres. But both these films could not compete with Jeetendra's film Tohfa at the box office. 'Tohfa' was made by D Ramanaidu. In the film, Jitendra won the hearts of the people with the roles of Ram, Jayaprada with the roles of Janaki and Sridevi with the roles of Lalita. Kader Khan and Shakti Kapoor were also seen in important roles in the film. Shakti Kapoor also played a very interesting role in this film. People have not forgotten Shakti Kapoor's dialogue about Lalita in the film even today. 'Aaaaoo Lolita' this dialogue became his identity. Let us tell you that many reports have claimed that Jeetendra, Jaya Prada and Sridevi's film 'Tohfa' had made a fabulous collection of 9 crores that year. According to today's time, this amount would be more than 150 crores.
