 The funeral procession of the youth killed in Friday’s police firing at Secunderabad railway station was underway in Telangana’s Warangal district amid shutdown and protest.

Hundreds of people were participating in the procession which began from MGM Hospital in Warangal to Narsampet.

Leaders and workers of ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) were participating in the rally to pay tributes to M. Rakesh (22), who was killed when railway police opened fire at Secunderabad railway station to control a mob.

State ministers E. Dayakar Rao, Satyavathi Rathod, MP M. Kavitha, MLAs Vinay Bhaskar, P. Sudershan Reddy and other TRS leaders were participating in the procession.

There was mild tension en route at Pocham Maidan area of Warangal when some protesters attacked BSNL office and damaged window panes. Raising slogans against the Central government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they set afire the office board and flexis.

Police swung into action to control the situation and dispersed the protesters.

A shutdown was observed in Narsampet Assembly constituency on a call given by TRS. Shops, business establishments and educational institutions were closed in the constituency.

Last rites of Rakesh will be performed at Dabeerpet village later in the day. Police have made elaborate security arrangements to prevent any violence.

Rakesh, an army job aspirant, was one of the youth who were protesting at Secunderabad station on Friday against the Central government’s army recruitment scheme Agnipath.

The protestors went on rampage, setting afire trains, parcel luggage and vandalising the station and the stalls. The youth was killed when the railway police opened fire to control the situation.

Rakesh, son of farm workers Kumara Swamy and Poolamma, had the dream of joining the Army. According to his family, his elder sister is serving in Border Security Force (BSF)

Rakesh took coaching in a Hanamkonda-based institute and cleared physical tests. He was preparing for the written exam and was upset over the repeated postponement of the exam. After the Central government announced the Agnipath scheme, he, like many others, felt that their dreams were shattered.

The Telangana government late Friday announced Rs 25 lakh ex-gratia for the family of Rakesh.

Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao expressed deep shock and grief over the death of Rakesh.

He conveyed his deep condolences to the youth’s family and said a son of Backward Classes lost his life due to “wrong” policies of the Central government.

The chief minister also announced that in addition to Rs 25 lakh ex-gratia, a government job will be provided to a member of Rakesh’s family as per his or her qualification.

Mumbai Shocker: Stepfather Arrested For Murder Of Missing 4-Year-Old Girl From Antop Hill; Body Found In Colaba

Published

on

Mumbai: In a chilling turn of events, the Mumbai Police on Tuesday arrested Imran Shaikh, the stepfather of four-year-old Amaira Shaikh, in connection with her murder. The child had gone missing from her residence in Antop Hill on the night of July 14 and her body was recovered from the Colaba sea coast the next morning.

Police Suspected Stepfather Over Girl’s Disappearance

Amaira was reported missing by her mother, Nazia, who had gone to the Antop Hill police station to lodge a complaint. However, as the investigation progressed, suspicion grew around Imran’s role in the child’s disappearance. Imran, also known as Immu, had taken Amaira with him the night she went missing and had been unreachable since, with his phone switched off.

Body Found Near Sassoon Dock

Amaira lived with her mother and stepfather in the Bengali Pura area of Rajiv Nagar in Antop Hill. Nazia, who has been previously married twice, was currently in her third marriage with Imran. On the night of July 14, after failing to locate Amaira despite searching extensively, Nazia approached the police. The next morning, Colaba police received an alert about a child’s body found floating near Sassoon Dock. The body, later confirmed to be Amaira’s, was sent to St. George Hospital for a post-mortem examination.

Initially, the Antop Hill police registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR), but with Imran absconding, suspicions deepened. Using physical identifiers from the missing person’s report, Colaba police confirmed the identity of the deceased. Cops now believe that Amaira may have been murdered and her body dumped into the sea.

Following this development, police intensified efforts to trace Imran. After going off the radar briefly, he was arrested on Tuesday. Authorities are now focusing on uncovering the motive behind the brutal crime and piecing together the exact sequence of events leading to the child’s death.
