A school director in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur was booked on Monday for allegedly forcing his students to recite Kalma during morning prayers. He was booked under section 295-A of IPC and section 5(1) of the prohibition of unlawful conversion of religion Act 2021.

The parents informed the police that their children studying in Florets International School were being forced to recite Kalma.

The father of a student created a WhatsApp group and also informed BJP leaders about these prayers. He said that he went to school but the administration refused to stop it.

However, School Principal Archana denied the allegations and said his school respects all religions. Prayers from all religions- Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism and Christianity are recited. This is the old tradition of our school.

After objection to Islamic prayers, now only the national anthem will be sung, the principal said.

Kanpur ACP Nishank Sharma said that students were made to recite some lines from Islam religion in that school. He talked to the school administration; they told him that they recited prayers of all religions. Since objection was raised, they stopped doing it.

Alt News’ co-founder Mohammed Zubair took a dig at the UP government and tweeted that an FIR filed under various sections of forced conversions and hurting religious sentiments against the managing director of the school. The FIR copy states that the school has been attempting to teach the students about conversions as well as ‘Shiksha Jihad’.

Zubair was also arrested by the UP Police for allegedly hurting religious sentiments.

It is tragic that a school that was being inclusive and respectful of all religions is being hounded like this. BJP is attacking everything that is good about India.  A truly anti-India party. China and Pakistan must be so happy, a Twitter user wrote.

Stand-up comedian Swati Sachdeva’s joke on mother sparks outrage on social media

However, the comedian’s attempt to lighten the mood has backfired, with people accusing her of crossing the line and using inappropriate content for laughs.

Just weeks after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia faced heavy criticism for a remark about parents, stand-up comedian Swati Sachdeva has found herself in the middle of a similar storm. A video from one of her recent comedy shows has spread rapidly across social media, leaving many internet users upset and angry.

In the video that has now gone viral, Swati Sachdeva makes a bold and funny comment about her mother finding a vibrator in her room. She describes how her mother tried to stay calm and modern, calling the vibrator a “gadget” or “toy” and even asking her to discuss it openly “as a friend.” However, the comedian’s attempt to lighten the mood has backfired, with people accusing her of crossing the line and using inappropriate content for laughs.

During her performance, Swati shared, “My mom wants to be a cool parent, but it’s not working out. She found my vibrator and came to me confidently, saying we should talk like friends. She’s probably going to ask to borrow it! She kept calling it a gadget or a toy.” To escape the awkward moment, Swati jokingly told her mother it belonged to her father. She added, “I said, ‘Mom, it’s Papa’s, I swear!’ But she replied, ‘Don’t talk nonsense, I know what he likes.’ Then she pulled it out and started questioning me!”

As soon as the clip appeared online, people rushed to the comments section to voice their disapproval. Many called her language “vulgar” and felt she disrespected her family by sharing such a personal story. One user commented, “This girl has gone too far in the name of comedy. She didn’t even respect her own parents. This isn’t funny—it’s an insult to our values. Such content should not be encouraged.”

“Nowadays, it seems that comedy relies solely on inappropriate language. While some find it amusing, one user on this platform mentioned that comedy has evolved over time. So, is this an evolution or a decline in comedy? Is this truly what comedy is meant to be?” another comment expressed. A third user remarked, “She has no respect for her parents, all just to become famous.” Someone else questioned, “Isn’t this as bad as the vulgarity in ‘India’s Got Latent’?”

Earlier, Ranveer Allahbadia’s comment about Samay Raina’s show ‘India’s Got Latent’ caused a huge uproar, leading to police cases, legal action, and weeks of online arguments. Raina was even called in for questioning by Maharashtra Cyber on Friday over an obscenity complaint linked to that case.

Delhi crime, Vivek Vihar body case, decomposed woman found, DDA flat murder case,

Delhi Police has recovered a decomposed body of a woman inside a bed-box at a DDA flat in Vivek Vihar’s Satyam Enclave. The discovery was made after locals alerted police about a foul smell emanating from the residence.

According to police officials, the dead body, wrapped in a blanket and stuffed into a bag, was located inside house number 118 A. The flat belongs to a man identified as Vivekanand Mishra, aged between 50 and 60 years.

Closer inspection revealed blood stains near the backdoor, which raised suspicions and prompted authorities to force entry into the flat.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara), Neha Yadav, stated, “We received a call at 4:37 regarding a foul smell coming from the house. Upon entering, we found the dead body of a woman, wrapped in a blanket and kept inside a bag placed in a box. An incense stick was found near the body. The woman has not been identified yet, and legal procedures are ongoing.”

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara) Prashant Gautam said the house was found locked from the outside when officials arrived. Traces of blood were noticed near the backdoor. Upon opening the house, the woman’s decomposed body was recovered.

Preliminary reports suggest the woman, estimated to be in her late 40s, may have been murdered two to three days ago. Investigative sources revealed that Mishra, the flat’s owner, was seen visiting the house on Thursday night and again on Friday afternoon.

The investigation is currently underway, with forensic teams analyzing samples and surveillance footage being examined from the locality. As of now, no arrests have been made in connection with the case. Authorities are treating the case as a potential homicide, and further legal action is expected as new evidence comes to light.

Rahul Gandhi says BJP’s cronyism pushed banking sector into crisis, junior employees suffering

He encouraged other affected employees to share their stories through his official website.

Rahul Gandhi, leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, criticized the BJP government on Saturday for what he called “cronyism and regulatory mismanagement,” claiming these policies have pushed India’s banking sector into crisis. He argued that junior employees bear the brunt of this mismanagement, facing “stress and toxic work conditions.”

Gandhi alleged that the government had waived off ₹16 lakh crore in loans for “billionaire friends,” while ordinary bank employees suffered the consequences. “The BJP’s economic policies have a human cost—thousands of honest professionals are paying the price,” he said.

In a post on social media platform X, Gandhi shared a video of his meeting with former ICICI Bank employees who accused the bank of unfair dismissals and workplace harassment. He promised that the Congress party would fight for their rights and work to end “exploitation in the banking sector.”

“Their accounts reveal a disturbing trend—retaliation for exposing bad loans, sudden terminations without proper procedure, and even tragic cases of suicide,” Gandhi said. He encouraged other affected employees to share their stories through his official website.

A delegation of 782 former ICICI Bank employees met Gandhi in Parliament on Friday, sharing claims of being fired while on medical leave or after raising concerns about management practices. According to the Congress, these employees said such practices are common in private banks due to extreme profit pressures.

The employees alleged that whistleblowers faced retaliation and that many were dismissed without following legal procedures. The Congress argued that these issues are not isolated but part of a wider problem in India’s banking industry.

ICICI Bank has not yet commented on the allegations. The Congress, meanwhile, has demanded action, calling for investigations into labor practices in private banks.

“If you have faced similar injustice, share your experience with me,” Gandhi said, directing affected individuals to his official portal.
