Gangster Vikas Dubey

Gangster Vikas Dubey, who was “arrested” yesterday from Ujjain’s (Madhya Pradesh) Mahakal temple, was killed in an ‘encounter’ by UP police’s Special Task Force (STF) on Friday (July 10). He was being transferred, but having reached the Sachendi border at Kanpur, he suddenly tried to escape when the police vehicle carrying him met with an ‘accident’. Of course an encounter ensued, in which Dubey was shot dead.

Four police constables have also sustained injuries.

The ‘encounter’ story has become so old, not even a child in India believes it today. Dubey was doomed when he ‘surrendered’ to Madhya Pradesh police yesterday. If he had thought his security would be guaranteed by police in another state, he was a rather foolish gangster. A gangster without an untraceable safe house from where he can negotiate terms isn’t worth anything in the gangster world. That’s what the police say.

Technically, that isn’t even news. It had to happen. Nobody will grieve for Dubey. But the critical story is, what secrets did go down with Dubey? Which policemen, political honcho, rotten businessmen have been saved in this death?

Police have claimed that the encounter broke out when Vikas Dubey tried to flee after a police vehicle carrying him from Ujjain to Kanpur met with an accident. The encounter took place at Sachendi border in Kanpur.

Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi slam Uttar Pradesh police for blocking Sambhal visit

Senior Congress leader and the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi today asserted that the Uttar Pradesh police stopped his convoy at the Ghazipur border, blocking his planned visit to violence-hit Sambhal. The Senior Congress leader added that the police denied him his constitutional rights to meet the affected people.

The Leader of Opposition said that he was ready to relinquish his convoy and go to Sambhal alone with the police. He said the authorities had asked him to return after some days. Rahul Gandhi mentioned that as a Leader of Opposition, it is his right to go to the violence-hit area, but the police are stopping him. He added that the police said that they will allow him to go after a few days.

He pointed out that denying him to go to Sambhal is against the rights of LoP and the Constitution. He said that they want to go to Sambhal and see what happened there, and meet the people. Claiming that his Constitutional rights are not being given to him, he said that this is the new India, an India to end the Constitution.

Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra stated that as the Leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi has the right to meet the victims of the violence. She mentioned that whatever happened in Sambhal is wrong. She asserted that Rahul Gandhi is the leader of the opposition, he has constitutional rights and he cannot be stopped like this. She continued that Rahul Gandhi has the constitutional right to be allowed to go and meet the victims. 

She asserted that Rahul Gandhi also said that he would go alone with the UP police but they are not ready to do that either. She said that the police have no answer, adding that maybe the situation in Uttar Pradesh is such that they cannot handle even this much. 

Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh’s deputy chief minister Brajesh Pathak said Congress leaders were trying to politicise the Sambhal violence. He further appealed to the politicians to not spoil the law and order of the state. He said that cartridge shells that came from Pakistan have been recovered there and the matter is being investigated. 

He assured that whoever is involved in this will not be spared. He continued that UP has changed now, and they will not be able to divide UP. He mentioned that whenever there is a big disturbance, the police impose Section 144, under which a crowd cannot gather until peace is restored. As long as the section is in place, Congress should not attempt such acts there, he said.

Assasination attempt on Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Badal during his penance at Golden Temple

In a tragic incident, a man opened fire at Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Singh Badal this morning while he was serving his penance at the entrance of Golden Temple in Amritsar. Reportedly, the shooter was overpowered by people present on the spot.

Sukhbir Singh Badal, a former Deputy Chief Minister of Punjab, is performing sewadar duties after the Akal Takht pronounced the religious punishment for him and several other Akali leaders for mistakes committed during the party’s rule in Punjab from 2007 to 2017. The SAD chief has been asked to serve as a sewadar, wash dishes and clean shoes at Golden Temple and several other gurdwaras.

In the past two days, Sukhbir Singh Badal has been sitting at the gate of Golden Temple with a spear in one hand and dressed in blue sewadar uniform. The Akali Dal leader’s leg is in a cast and he is in a wheelchair.

Reportedly, the incident occurred around 9 am on Wednesday, shortly after SAD leader Badal had taken the sewadar’s place at the Golden Temple gate. The man has been identified as Narain Singh from Gurdaspur district, about 75 km from Amritsar. Several visuals from the spot show him slowly approaching the gate, and then quickly brings out a gun. 

Another man standing near Sukhbir Singh Badal spots him in time and holds his hand. The gun goes off but misses the SAD Chief and others near him and hits the wall. The shooter has been arrested and police are investigating the motive behind the shocking attack.

Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has said the promptness of the state police foiled a conspiracy to defame Punjab and Punjabis. Taking to X, the Chief MInister said that the police achieved great success by arresting the assailant on the spot with their promptness. He appreciated the promptness of the police, and strongly condemned the attack on Sukhbir Badal. He added that he has issued strict instructions to the police to immediately investigate the incident and submit a report.

Furthermore, Amritsar Police Commissioner Gurpreet Singh Bhullar said alert police officers Rishpal Singh, Jasbir and Parminder Singh managed to foil the attack. He added that Narain Singh has a criminal record, and they have registered a case and the incident is probed from all angles. He also appealed to people to maintain peace.

Devendra Fadnavis to take oath as Maharashtra Chief Minister tomorrow

Devendra Fadnavis became the Chief Minister for the first time at 44 in 2014, making him the second-youngest after Sharad Pawar.

Devendra Fadnavis to take oath as Maharashtra Chief Minister tomorrow

Putting an end to the suspense over the top post, a crucial BJP meeting on Wednesday decided Devendra Fadnavis to be the next Maharashtra Chief Minister. Reportedly, Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde will be the Deputy Chief Minister along with NCP’s Ajit Pawar. 

BJP Maharashtra President Chandrashekhar Bawankule said that Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar will take oath on Thursday at 5 pm at Azad Maidan in Mumbai. Also, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the swearing-in ceremony. After being named as the chief ministerial pick, Devendra Fadnavis addressed a party event, where he reiterated PM Modi’s ek hai to safe hai slogan. 

Reportedly, at the BJP meeting, Fadnavis’s name for the top post was proposed by former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, who was sent as the central observer to Mumbai. The proposal was unanimously seconded by senior BJP leaders like Sudhir Mungantiwar and Pankaja Munde.

This development follows nearly two weeks after the Mahayuti received a massive mandate securing 230 out of 288 seats in the Assembly elections. Nonetheless, the coalition had not been able to decide the contours of the new government after Shinde Sena’s initial insistence on being made the Chief Minister again.

Earlier, discussions moved forward after Eknath Shinde publicly said that he wouldn’t be a hurdle to government formation and declared that he would abide by the decision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.

Devendra Fadnavis was majorly seen as the chief architect of the BJP’s biggest ever victory in Maharashtra, winning 132 of the 149 seats it contested. Additionally, the RSS has also been rooting strongly for Fadnavis for the top post in Maharashtra.

Devendra Fadnavis became the Chief Minister for the first time at 44 in 2014, making him the second-youngest after Sharad Pawar. During that time, the BJP was in coalition with the then undivided Shiv Sena.

Following the 2019 Assembly election, as the Shiv Sena walked out of the alliance amid a tussle over rotational chief ministership, the Fadnavis-led BJP joined hands with Ajit Pawar. Devendra Fadnavis took oath as the Chief Minister and Ajit Pawar as the Deputy Chief Minister. Nonetheless, the government lasted for around 80 hours as Ajit Pawar returned to the NCP fold.

After Eknath Shinde’s rebellion led to the collapse of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in 2022, he agreed to be the Deputy Chief Minister under Shinde.
