Video of 19-year-old boy

A video of a young boy jogging on the road at midnight is doing rounds on social media. The shine on the boy’s face stayed despite his face being drenched in sweat. When filmmaker and author Vinod Kapri saw him strolling down the road, he offered to drive him home, but despite many efforts, he politely declined.

Kapri is seen filming from his car as it rides alongside the young boy, who claims to be on his way home from a McDonald’s shift. Mehra, despite being offered a lift, insisted on running home because he doesn’t get time to run otherwise.

Why was this boy running?

A 19-year-old Pradeep Mehra lives in Barola. He runs 10kms every day from his workplace to his home in preparation for his aspiration of joining the army. Pradeep works in McDonalds’ Noida Sector 16 branch. He hails from the Almora district of Uttarakhand. Mehra stated that he lives with his elder brother and his mother is in the hospital when Kapri asked who he lives with.

On being asked multiple times by Kapri to drop him off at his place, Mehra said it is nothing new for him as he runs every day on his way back home because he doesn’t have much time to practice running. When Kapri asked him why he doesn’t run in the morning, he stated that he has to wake up early and reach his workplace at 8 am and cook food.

What did Pradeep Mehra say when Vinod Kapri offered to have dinner with him?

Kapri, who is still keeping up with Mehra, informs him that this video will become viral. In response, the runner laughs. “Who’s going to recognize me? It’s fine if it gets viral; it’s not like I’m doing anything wrong.”

When Kapri got to know he still plans to cook after reaching home after a tough race back, he offered to have dinner with him. “No, but my elder brother will go hungry,” Mehra responds, declining the filmmaker’s help yet again, explaining that his brother works at night shift and is unable to cook for himself at the moment.

“Pradeep, you’re amazing,” responds Kapri in awe.

In a last-ditch effort to persuade Mehra to rethink his decision, he adds, “Let me please drop you home.” This is my everyday routine, explains the determined 19-year-old, smiling as he refuses yet again.

The video has garnered over 4.8 million views, crossed 180,000 likes.

Government secures 298 votes in favour, 230 against; proposal does not pass constitutional threshold

The proposed amendment related to women’s reservation failed to pass in the Lok Sabha on Friday after the government could not secure the required two-thirds majority.

The bill received 298 votes in favour and 230 against, falling short of the constitutional threshold needed for passage. As a constitutional amendment, it required the support of at least two-thirds of members present and voting.

Despite securing a simple majority, the government was unable to gather sufficient support to meet this requirement.

Debate continues over two days

The discussion on the bill extended late into Thursday and continued on Friday, with members from both sides participating in the debate on women’s representation in legislative bodies.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged members to support the proposal, calling for wider consensus on the issue.

Implications of the outcome

The failure of the bill underscores the challenges in securing broad political agreement on constitutional amendments, especially those related to representation and electoral reforms.

The proposal was aimed at advancing women’s representation in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, an issue that has remained under discussion for several years.

Rahul Gandhi faces FIR order as Allahabad High Court acts on dual citizenship plea

High Court allows plea in Rahul Gandhi citizenship case, paving the way for further legal process.

Published

Rahul Gandhi

The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court has allowed a petition seeking legal action in connection with allegations related to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s citizenship status, marking a fresh development in the case.

The petition was filed by a political worker, who had approached the court seeking directions for registration of a case over claims that Gandhi may have held foreign citizenship. The High Court, while hearing the matter, passed directions for further proceedings in accordance with law.

The development comes after a special MP/MLA court in Lucknow had earlier declined to order registration of an FIR, reportedly observing that it lacked jurisdiction in matters concerning citizenship.

Background

The case is linked to allegations that Rahul Gandhi may have held British citizenship. Under Indian law, dual citizenship is not permitted. However, these claims remain part of the petitioner’s submissions and have not been established by any court.

During earlier hearings, the High Court had sought records and considered material presented by the parties involved.

What happens next

With the High Court allowing the plea, the matter is expected to proceed as per due legal process. This may involve examination by the appropriate authority and further judicial review at subsequent stages.

The case carries both legal and political significance given Rahul Gandhi’s role as Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha.

Pawan Khera faces fresh setback as Supreme Court refuses relief in passport row case

Congress leader Pawan Khera faces fresh setback as Supreme Court refuses interim relief and directs him to seek bail from Guwahati High Court.

Pawan Khera

Congress leader Pawan Khera suffered another legal setback on Friday after the Supreme Court of India declined to extend protection in a case linked to his remarks about Himanta Biswa Sarma’s wife.

A bench of the apex court refused to interfere with an earlier order that had stayed the transit anticipatory bail granted to Khera by the Telangana High Court. This decision leaves the Congress leader open to possible arrest by Assam Police in connection with the case.

During the hearing, Khera’s counsel sought interim protection, but the court declined the request and advised him to approach the appropriate court in Assam for relief. The bench clarified that the Guwahati High Court should decide any bail plea independently and on its merits.

“Am I a terrorist?” remark during hearing

While seeking protection, Khera’s legal team expressed concern over the urgency of the situation. In court, his counsel remarked, “Am I a terrorist?” highlighting the plea for temporary relief until a fresh bail application could be filed.

The Supreme Court also raised concerns over the submission of incorrect documents during the proceedings, adding another layer to the legal complications faced by the Congress leader.

Case linked to remarks on CM’s wife

The case stems from a press conference held earlier this month, where Khera made allegations regarding the citizenship status and financial assets of the Assam Chief Minister’s wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sharma.

He had claimed that she possessed multiple passports and owned undisclosed overseas properties. These allegations were strongly denied by the Chief Minister’s family, who termed them fabricated and misleading.

Legal battle intensifies

Earlier, the Telangana High Court had granted Khera temporary transit anticipatory bail, allowing him time to seek relief from a competent court in Assam. However, the Supreme Court stayed that order following a challenge by Assam authorities, escalating the legal battle.

With the latest ruling, Khera is now expected to move the Guwahati High Court for anticipatory bail as the case continues to unfold.
