Security of rape victim’s family tightened, day after Asaram Bapu interim bail

“Two of my witnesses, Bholanand and Sureshanand, are currently missing. The government claims that laws exist to ensure capital punishment for crimes against minors, yet the court continues to show leniency in Asaram’s case,” he added.

The family of the victim in the 2013 rape case against Asaram Bapu has been given additional security measures, following the Supreme Court’s decision to grant Asaram interim bail on medical grounds, said police on Wednesday.

Additional Superintendent of Police (City) Sanjay Kumar Sagar stated that he personally visited the victim’s home after the Supreme Court’s ruling and spoke with the family. “A police guard has already been stationed at the victim’s residence, and her father is provided with a gunner for additional security. We are now assigning more police personnel and have issued necessary instructions to the local police station and circle officer to ensure the family’s protection,” Sagar explained.

He also noted, “Orders have been issued to repair the non-functional CCTV cameras around the victim’s home, and her father has been advised to notify the authorities before leaving the premises. We are closely monitoring the family’s safety, given the high-profile nature of this case.”

The victim’s father expressed his shock at the news of Asaram’s interim bail, stating, “I haven’t been able to sleep since hearing this; I am immensely worried about my family’s safety. Even while in prison, Asaram was allegedly responsible for the murders of four witnesses — Rajkot’s Amrut Prajapati, Akhil Gupta (a cook), Lucknow’s Rahul Sachan, and Shahjahanpur’s Kripal Singh.”

He accused Asaram of orchestrating false cases against him in various locations, including Jammu, Jodhpur, Delhi, and Surasagar, while still incarcerated. “Two of my witnesses, Bholanand and Sureshanand, are currently missing. The government claims that laws exist to ensure capital punishment for crimes against minors, yet the court continues to show leniency in Asaram’s case,” he added.

Asaram, who is currently serving a life sentence for sexual assault, was granted interim bail by the Supreme Court until March 31, 2025, under specific conditions. His past privileges include a 7-day parole in 2018, which was later extended by an additional five days, and a more recent 17-day parole granted on December 10, 2024.

In 2013, Asaram was convicted of sexually assaulting a minor from Shahjahanpur at his ashram in Jodhpur, following a case filed by the victim’s father in Delhi, which ultimately led to Asaram receiving a life sentence.

PM Modi pays tribute to Atal Bihari Vajpayee at Sadaiv Atal, says leadership is defined by conduct

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday paid floral tributes to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee at the ‘Sadaiv Atal’ memorial in New Delhi on the occasion of his 101st birth anniversary. Remembering Vajpayee’s legacy, the Prime Minister said that true leadership is not established by position, but by conduct.

Several dignitaries were present at the memorial to pay homage to the former Prime Minister, who remains one of the most respected figures in Indian politics.

PM Modi remembers Vajpayee’s conduct and values

In a message shared on social media platform X, Prime Minister Modi described Atal Bihari Vajpayee as a statesman whose behaviour, dignity and unwavering commitment to national interest set a benchmark for Indian politics. He said Vajpayee’s life continues to inspire the nation and highlights that leadership is determined by character rather than authority.

The Prime Minister also shared a Sanskrit verse, noting that the actions of great leaders guide society, and said this principle was clearly reflected throughout Vajpayee’s public life.

‘Nation always came first for Atal ji’

Prime Minister Modi further said that Vajpayee’s birth anniversary is an opportunity for everyone to draw inspiration from his life. He highlighted Vajpayee’s conduct, grace, ideological firmness and resolve to place the nation’s interest above all else as an ideal standard for public life.

Through his life and work, Vajpayee demonstrated that excellence and greatness are shaped by values and conduct, not merely by holding office, the Prime Minister said. The remarks were shared with inputs from media.

Cried over Gaza, not a word on Bangladesh: Yogi Adityanath attacks opposition in UP Assembly

Yogi Adityanath criticised the opposition in the UP Assembly, accusing them of selective outrage over Gaza while remaining silent on violence against Hindus in Bangladesh.

Yogi Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday launched a sharp attack on the Opposition during proceedings in the State Assembly, accusing rival parties of indulging in selective outrage and appeasement politics while remaining silent on incidents involving Hindus in neighbouring countries, particularly Bangladesh.

Referring to recent incidents across the border, the Chief Minister said the Opposition raises its voice on international issues selectively but avoids speaking out when minorities, especially Hindus, are targeted in nearby nations.

“You shed tears over developments in Gaza, but not a single word comes out when a Dalit youth is killed in Bangladesh,” Adityanath said in the Assembly, alleging that such silence exposes the Opposition’s political priorities.

The Chief Minister further claimed that incidents of violence against Hindus would not have occurred had Pakistan and Bangladesh not been created, reiterating that issues are often viewed through the prism of vote bank politics. He said candle marches are organised for global events, but killings of Hindus in Pakistan or Bangladesh do not evoke similar responses.

Adityanath also called for a condemnation resolution in the Assembly, stating that it should ideally come from the Leader of the Opposition. He said such a resolution should clearly condemn the killing and convey a warning to the Bangladesh government.

Allegations over illegal immigration

Targeting the Opposition on the issue of illegal immigration, the Chief Minister alleged that they support Bangladeshi nationals and Rohingyas. He claimed that when authorities take action to expel illegal immigrants, Opposition leaders come out in their defence, alleging that many of them have been facilitated with voter registrations and Aadhaar cards.

Meanwhile, tensions between India and Bangladesh have been visible following recent developments. India summoned the Bangladesh High Commissioner for the second time in a week amid concerns arising from incidents in the neighbouring country.

The summons came in the backdrop of protests in Bangladesh following the killing of student leader Sharif Osman Hadi and the lynching of Dipu Chandra Das in separate incidents. Dipu Das, a 27-year-old youth from Mymensingh district, was beaten to death by a mob over alleged blasphemy on December 18, and his body was later set on fire, triggering widespread outrage.

The Interim Government of Bangladesh condemned the incident. Education Adviser C R Abrar visited the bereaved family on behalf of the government, expressed condolences, and assured them of financial and welfare assistance. The Office of the Chief Adviser also reiterated its resolve to protect all citizens and ensure justice in the case.

The killing has once again raised concerns at the international level over the safety and security of minorities in Bangladesh, with minority groups demanding strict action against those responsible.
