Rajasthan Congress seeks NIA probe into BJP’s alleged links with terrorists
Referring to various media reports, Rajasthan Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasra on Tuesday wrote a letter to DG, NIA demanding a thorough probe into the BJP’s alleged connections with terrorists.
In the letter, he said, “As per media reports, Mohammad Riyaz Attari (one of the prime accused in the Udaipur killing) has been a member of BJP who has been attending different events of the party. He has attended many party events and BJP workers were seen welcoming these leaders. Photos of the perpetrators of this incident with BJP leaders are going viral. Media reports say that he was an active worker of BJP.”
According to the latest news published in the media, a terrorist caught in Jammu was the chief of the BJP’s IT cell. What is their collusion with terrorists, he questioned and urged the agency to probe the matter.
Dotasra also commented on BJP leaders visiting Udaipur after their return from their Hyderabad meeting.
He said, “Bharatiya Janata Party has no concern with the public. There is a blind race going on among them in which they just have to become the chief ministerial candidate, so they have neither any feelings left in them nor do they have any vision for the state. This is the reason why BJP leader is going to Kanhaiya Lal’s house after 7 days of incident enjoying their Hyderabad tour. CM cancelled his Jodhpur tour and reached Udaipur; DG, CS, ACS Home and I myself went to Udaipur with CM Saheb but no BJP leader reached.”
“Gulabchand Kataria is a local MLA and Leader of Opposition, it was his responsibility to stay in Udaipur in such a crisis and help the government in controlling the situation, but he went to Hyderabad the very next day after the June 28 incident,” he commented.
“Now all BJP leaders including Vasundhara Raje, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat are competing to go to Kanhaiya Lal’s house because of politics. The Chief Minister had called an all-party meeting so that the situation could be discussed and peace could be restored in Rajasthan, but neither the Leader of the Opposition, nor the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, nor the BJP State President came to that meeting. Today the people of Rajasthan are compelled to think what good will such irresponsible opposition do to Rajasthan,” Dotasra stated.
“The incident happened on June 28. Rajasthan BJP leaders should tell where they were and why were they missing after this incident when the whole of Rajasthan was in sorrow. Then pictures of them celebrating in five star hotels of Hyderabad were coming out. Now they are going to Udaipur as political tourists and talking nonsense,” he added.

Delhi LG tells police chief to take strict action in Ashok Vihar acid attack

New Delhi, Oct 27: Taking a serious note of an acid-attack on a 20-year-old woman in northwest Delhi, Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena on Monday directed Police Commissioner Satish Golcha to take strict action against the culprits.
“He has instructed the Commissioner of Police to ensure that the guilty are arrested and brought to the book at the earliest and the most stringent punishment under law is sought against them,” said a Raj Niwas official.
The official, in a post on X, said, “The LG has taken an extremely serious view of the recent unfortunate incident of acid attack in the Capital.”
The Sunday incident that caught the attention of the LG involved a 20-year-old woman who sustained burn injuries on her hands after being allegedly attacked with acid by her stalker and his two associates.
The incident took place near Laxmi Bai College in northwest Delhi’s Ashok Vihar area, according to police officials, who maintained that they have launched a manhunt for the accused after collecting clues from CCTV footage.
The victim, a second-year student at a private institution, was on her way to attend an extra class when the accused intercepted her near the college.
“She was stopped by the main accused, Jitender, and his two associates, Ishan and Arman, who were on a motorcycle,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northwest) Bhisham Singh said in a statement.
According to the woman’s statement, Ishan handed a bottle to Arman, who threw the acid at her.
She instinctively raised her hands to shield her face, suffering burns on both hands while the attackers fled the scene immediately after the assault.
The injured woman was rushed to Deep Chand Bandhu Hospital, where doctors provided initial treatment and informed the police.
A team of forensic and crime experts later visited the site to collect samples and evidence. Preliminary investigation suggests that the main accused, Jitender — a resident of Mukundpur, the same locality where the victim lives — had been stalking her for several months.
According to reports, the two had a heated argument about a month ago, following which the harassment reportedly escalated.
A case has been registered under the relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including those about acid attack and criminal conspiracy.
The incident has once again raised concerns over women’s safety and the easy availability of corrosive substances in the national capital.
The Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) held protests outside the college, demanding the strictest punishment for the accused and concrete reforms to curb acid sales

Thane School Bus Driver Held For Threatening To Kidnap Student, Demanding ₹4 Lakh

Thane: Police have arrested a school bus driver here for allegedly threatening to kidnap a 15-year-old student, who used to travel in his vehicle, and demanding Rs 4 lakh from the boy’s parents, officials said on Monday.
The bus driver, who also operated a mobile phone and SIM card shop at Kashimira in Maharashtra’s Thane district, had planned the extortion in an attempt to make quick money, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone I, Rahul Chavan told reporters.
The boy’s mother, a resident of Kashimira, received a text message from an unknown mobile number on Saturday, threatening to kidnap the teenager if she failed to pay Rs 4 lakh. She immediately approached the local police.
The investigators traced the message to a number linked with a local mobile phone shop.
The school bus driver also owned a mobile and SIM card shop. He took the SIM card of one of his less-educated customers and replaced it with an inactive one, the official said.
The driver then used the active SIM card to send threats to the boy’s family via WhatsApp. He also used a photo of the boy in his possession to send ransom messages to his mother, the official said.
The police questioned the bus driver, Hariram Soma (37), who confessed to the crime, he said. The accused, also a resident of the Kashimira area, was arrested on Sunday, he added.
“Police ensured the child was not harmed. Within hours of receiving the complaint, our technical team traced the digital trail, identified the suspect and took him into custody,” Chavan said.
The accused has been booked on charges of criminal intimidation and extortion under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act.
The police have information that the accused targeted four parents of the children whom he ferried to school in his bus, and are investigating it, the official said.
