Raj civic polls: BJP expels seven more rebel leaders for six years; number goes to 48

Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 10 (IANS) The BJP has expelled seven more rebel candidates who are contesting as Independents against the partys official nominees in the Rajasthan civic body elections. The leaders have been removed from the partys primary membership for six years. The latest action includes five rebels from the Ajmer Municipal Corporation and one each from the Jaitaran and Mundwa municipalities. The BJP had earlier expelled 41 leaders on September 7, taking the total number of leaders expelled so far to 48. BJP State General Secretary Shravan Singh Bagdi issued the expulsion order, stating that the leaders were contesting as Independents against the partys official candidates. The party termed the move an act of indiscipline and said the action was taken under the instructions of State President Madan Rathore. From the Ajmer Municipal Corporation, Arun Sharma (Ward 38), Neetu Mishra (Ward 41), Seema Goswami (Ward 52), Ruby Jain (Ward 74) and Dharmendra Singh Chauhan Pancham (Ward 75) have been expelled for six years. Several of those expelled have previously held party or elected positions. Seema Goswami is a former district president of the Ajmer City Mahila Morcha, while Arun Sharma is a former Mandal president. Rakesh Solanki, a former councillor contesting from Ward 17 of Jaitaran Municipality, has also been expelled from the party. The BJP has also taken action against Lakshmi Narayan Mundel, former state secretary of the Kisan Morcha, who is contesting from Ward 8 of Mundwa Municipality in Nagaur district. The BJP has maintained that contesting against an official party candidate, supporting a rebel candidate or otherwise working against the partys authorised nominees constitutes anti-organisational activity and gross indiscipline. Before the latest action, the BJP had expelled 41 office-bearers and party workers from its primary membership for six years. The action was taken against leaders who contested as Independents against official candidates, supported rebel candidates or fielded family members against party nominees. The largest number of expulsions in the earlier list came from Jaipur, where 26 leaders and party workers were removed from the party. The BJPs successive expulsion orders underline the party leaderships effort to enforce discipline during the Rajasthan civic body elections and prevent rebel candidates from affecting the prospects of its official nominees.

Jodhpur High Court building case: 7 arrested, 1 detained after SIT probe into construction defects

Digital Desk | Jodhpur, Sep 9 (IANS) Jodhpur Police have arrested seven people and detained an eighth in connection with an investigation into alleged irregularities and serious construction defects in the new Rajasthan High Court building in Jodhpur. Police Commissioner Anshuman Bhomia outlined the investigation and arrests at a Press conference. According to police, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) found the roles of the construction company, firms and individuals associated with the fire-safety system, and officials responsible for supervising the project to be suspicious. Construction of the new High Court building began in 2011 and the structure was handed over in 2019, according to the police. Various defects were reported after the handover, including the collapse of false ceilings, a fire in Courtroom No. 2, cracks in the central dome and damage to pillars. Several institutions, including IIT Jodhpur, IIT Bombay and PTMES, subsequently conducted audits and surveys to assess the condition of the building. Following the findings, police constituted an SIT to conduct a detailed investigation. Samples were collected from the building and sent for forensic examination, while expert opinions were also sought. Police said the investigation raised questions about the role of companies supplying construction materials, agencies involved in executing the work, and individuals responsible for installing the fire-safety system. The role of officials of the Rajasthan State Road Development and Construction Corporation (RSRDC), who were responsible for overseeing and supervising the project, also came under scrutiny. According to the Police Commissioner, the investigation found evidence pointing to alleged criminal breach of trust involving officials. Police formed 12 special teams and four cyber teams to trace the suspects. Raids were conducted at multiple locations in Rajasthan, including Jodhpur, Jaipur, Kota, Bundi and Ajmer, as well as in Alwar, Delhi-NCR, Gurugram, Noida, Patiala and Kapurthala in Punjab, and Haridwar in Uttarakhand. Police said Varendra Garg, owner of VCL Group/Varendra Construction Company, the primary construction firm associated with the project, was detained in Haridwar late on Monday night. According to police, Garg had been changing locations to evade arrest. He was traced with the help of technical surveillance and coordination with police in other states. Jodhpur Police had announced a reward of 50,000 for information leading to his arrest. Police said eight individuals have been located in connection with the case. Seven have been arrested, while the process of arresting the eighth suspect was underway. Those arrested include Jitendra Sharma, then Assistant Engineer with RSRDC; Naveen Rai, then Project Manager with RSRDC; Rameshwar Dayal and Gopal Lal, who were associated with the installation of the fire-safety system; Deepak Mittal, formerly with RSRDC and currently an Executive Engineer in Jaipur; and Ajay Kishan Mutha, then Assistant Engineer with RSRDC. Police said the arrested accused have been taken on remand and are being questioned. Investigators said further action could follow if the enquiry establishes the involvement of additional individuals, officials or companies.

twisha-died-three-days-before-a-planned-meeting-with-her-brother-in-ajmer-family-alleges-samarth-mother-in-law-refused-to-let-her-travel

Twisha Sharma, the 33-year-old woman who died by hanging in Bhopal just five months into her marriage, reportedly had planned to meet her brother on May 15. Sharma, however, was found dead on May 12. An official who spoke to Hindustan Times said that Sharma was planning to travel to Ajmer. She was scheduled to travel to Ajmer on May 15, where her brother, Major Harshit Sharma, is posted. We are examining why she took such an extreme step despite having travel plans, the official said. Her family also alleged that Samarth Singh refused to let her go to Ajmer despite her ticket being booked after they had a dispute. Samarth Singh, who was arrested nine days after the investigations began, told police that Twishas behaviour changed after April 17, when her pregnancy was confirmed. On Saturday, during interrogations Samarth said that Twisha said that she no longer wanted to continue a domestic life after her preganancy and that she wished to return to her parent's home. She had left for Delhi the same evening. She later retured to Bhopal with her mother and brother on April 23 after persuasion from the family. Samarth said that disagreements continued after she returned. He said that he had booked a ticket for them to travel to Bengaluru on April 24 and that Twisha had initially agreed to accompany him. He said that she later changed her mind and said that she wanted to travel to Ajmer to stay with her brother. The disagreement on the travel plans reportedly led to another argument between the two, Samarth told investigators. According to Twishas family, she had repeatedly asked to be taken away from the house via texts to her mother, citing tensions around her pregnancy and the uncomfortable atmosphere in her in-laws' home. Twishas brother, Major Harshit Sharma, has been fighting for justice for his sisters death. In a recent audio conversation, which was made public, he is heard arguing with Twishas mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, about them questioning of Twisha's character. Twishas husband, Samarth Singh, meanwhile, has been sent to seven days police remand. While speaking to NDTV, he said he did not want to and has not spoken to Samarth Singh Major Harshit said that Singh did not grieve over his wifes death. I have not spoken to Samarth in any way, nor do I wish to, he said, adding that there was no visible sorrow in Samarth's conduct after Twisha's death. Harshit also raised questions over the functioning of the police, saying that the media often seemed to learn about developments before the police did. The death case has also reached the Supreme Court, and the hearing is set for Monday, May 25.The matter was registered as In Re: Alleged institutional bias and procedural discrepancies in the unnatural death of a young girl at her matrimonial home. the case will be heard by a bench led by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and comprising justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi.

twisha-sharma-death-husband-recalls-fights-during-police-questioning-says-pregnancy-changed-her-behaviour

During interrogation, Samarth Singh told police that his wife, Twisha Sharma, showed behavioral changes after her pregnancy was confirmed on April 17. Singh claimed that while marital tensions had already existed between them for the past five months, the confirmation of the pregnancy led to escalating fights and arguments. He recalled that they fought over taking a trip to Rajasthan's Ajmer, hours before she was found hanging at their Bhopal residence on May 12. The digital evidence collected by the police from Twisha Sharma's phone revealed that she was unhappy at her in-laws' home. She repeatedly asked her parents to take her away from there. I feel suffocated, mother, read one of the messages she had sent. Sharma's brother, Major Harshit Sharma, an officer with the Indian Army, said that she had called her mother at 10.05 pm on the night of her death. He said that she had abruptly disconnected the call after her husband entered the room. Repeated attempts were thereafter made to contact her by our family, but no one responded, he added. Samarth Singh, who is currently in police custody, was interrogated by the police for two hours on Saturday. He had surrendered in Jabalpur court on Friday night and was produced before the Bhopal court on Saturday. The Bar Council of India has suspended Samarth Singh's license, adding that the allegations against him affect the dignity and public image of the legal profession. Meanwhile, the second autopsy report of Twisha Sharma's body is awaited on Sunday. Following the directions from the Madhya Pradesh High Court, a medical team comprising four senior doctors from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, will conduct the re-post-mortem of the body. Twisha Sharma, a 33-year-old Noida native, was found hanging at her marital home in Bhopal's Katara Hills area on May 12. She got married to Samarth Singh in December 2025. Following her death, her family alleged that she had been subjected to mental torture and dowry harassment by her husband and his family members.
