Bandhavgarh elephant deaths: NGT issues notice to authorities
New Delhi: The National Green Tribunal has sought responses from the Union Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Wildlife Institute of India and others on the issue of the mysterious deaths of 10 elephants in Madhya Pradesh's Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve that have been linked to Kodo millet poisoning. The National Green Tribunal (NGT) had taken suo motu (on its own) cognisance of a media report regarding the deaths. The tribunal noted the report according to which initial investigations indicated the cause of mysterious deaths to Kodo millet contamination and samples had been sent for further analysis to two labs -- the Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI) in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly and a forensic lab in Madhya Pradesh's Sagar. The news item highlights that Kodo millet is a staple food in many parts of India, known for its high dietary fibre and mineral content. However, when contaminated with mycotoxins, it can be susceptible to fungal contamination, particularly during the monsoon season, when the crop is harvested in damp conditions, it can cause severe health issues in both humans and animals, including liver damage, kidney problems and gastrointestinal issues, said a bench of NGT Chairperson Justice Prakash in an order dated November 12. The bench, also comprising judicial member Justice Arun Kumar Tyagi and expert member Afroz Ahmad, said the discovery of such contamination is concerning, as it poses a risk to wildlife and livestock that may come into contact with the crop. The above matter indicates a violation of the Forest Conservation Act and the Environment Protection Act and the news item raises substantial issues relating to compliance with the environmental norms, the tribunal said. It impleaded as parties or respondents the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, directors of the Wildlife Institute of India and IVRI, Madhya Pradesh's principal chief conservator of forest and chief wildlife warden and the district magistrate of Umaria. Issue notice to the above respondents for filing their response/reply by way of affidavit before the Central Zonal Bench of the Tribunal at least one week before the next date of hearing (on December 12), the tribunal said.
Victims of bulldozer action in UP welcome SC verdict, say will seek compensation
PRAYAGRAJ/BAREILLY: A day after the Supreme Court verdict on bulldozer action , the victims of demolition drives across Uttar Pradesh have breathed a sigh of relief and said they would take legal recourse to seek compensation for their losses. The Uttar Pradesh government, which has been receiving flak from various quarters over its bulldozer action, has also hailed the apex court's verdict while clarifying that the demolitions were carried out after following due process and on properties constructed on encroached lands. Equating ulldozer justice with a lawless state of affairs where might is right, the Supreme Court on Wednesday laid down pan-India guidelines and said no property should be demolished without a prior show cause notice and the affected must be given 15 days to respond. In Prayagraj, the house of Javed Mohammad, who runs a pump set business, was demolished with a bulldozer on June 12, 2022. Police justified the action, saying he had five cases registered against him and was the main accused in a stone pelting incident in the Atala area. Houses shouldn't be demolished in an arbitrary manner...when my two-storey house was being demolished, my wife and daughter were kept in police custody, Mohammad said, hailing the SC verdict. Why 'bulldozer justice' goes against the grain of rule of law He claimed his house was razed without notice as the local administration was eager to prove to the higher-ups that it had ensured action overnight. The administration's claim of sending a notice is completely false...they never sent any notice, he said. He said after the demolition, his family faced a lot of hardships and no one came forward to help. No friend or relative came forward to help.With great difficulty my family shifted to a rented house, he said, adding that due to the demolition, he suffered huge losses in his business. Prayagraj Development Authority Secretary Ajit Singh, however, said the authority only takes action against those houses or shops that are not approved. Before a demolition, a notice is issued and the person is given an opportunity to present his side. Action is taken only after that, he said. In Bareilly, houses of 16 people were demolished in Gausganj village in Shahi area on July 22. The houses belonged to those named as accused in a clash over taking out a Tazia procession in which one person was killed. Reacting to the SC verdict Rasidan, Nafisa and Saira Khatoon of Gausganj, whose houses had been demolished, said they will approach the court to seek compensation. Sub Divisional Magistrate Tripti Gupta said 11 houses of those involved in vandalism were identified in the village. These houses were constructed after encroaching on the Gram Sabha land. Later, a revenue team identified five more such houses that too were demolished, she said. On June 22, two groups of Rajiv Rana and Aditya Upadhyay fired at each other in Bareilly over a dispute. On June 27, Rana's house and hotel in the Tulasherpur locality were demolished while the resort of Upadhyay also saw bulldozer action on July 28. Rana's daughter Avantika said after the SC decision, they have decided to take the police, district administration and the Bareilly Development Authority to court to seek compensation. While BDA Vice Chairman Manikandon A said that Upadhyay's resort was constructed illegally, the businessman's mother, Savitri Devi, said no notice was served to them regarding the demolition. We were not given time to take out our belongings, said Devi. Five more houses were demolished in Kalyanpur village in the Sirauli area after a blast in a cracker factory killed eight people on October 6. Sub Divisional Magistrate of Aonla, Nanhe Ram, said the houses were damaged due to the explosion and had to be demolished to prevent their collapse and more loss of lives. How can demolition be carried out just because a person is accused? SC slams 'bulldozer justice'

UP government rejects premature release plea of gangster Babloo Srivastava
NEW DELHI: The UP government has informed the Supreme Court that it has rejected the latest premature release plea of gangster Om Prakash Srivastava, alias Babloo Srivastava, who is serving a life sentence for the 1993 murder of an additional customs collector. Additional Advocate General Garima Prasad told a two-judge bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Augustine George Masih, that the gangster was convicted of serious offences, including under the anti-terror law. She contended that Srivastava approached the court with unclean hands without disclosing the status of the pleas he had filed for premature release. He has been filing petitions for remission every now and then. His first petition was dismissed in 2016, she said. In its November 8 order, the bench asked Srivastavas counsel to file the orders and case records of all the petitions he has filed to date. Srivastava, currently incarcerated in Bareilly Central jail, has sought direction from the apex court for the state government to consider his plea for premature release. The latest petition, which was rejected on November 6, was filed on June 24, 2021. Once associated with underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, Srivastava eventually became his enemy. He was caught in Singapore by investigating agencies and extradited to India in 1995. He was wanted in 42 cases, including murder and abduction. On September 30, 2008, the gangster was sentenced to a life term by a special TADA court in Kanpur in connection with the 1993 murder of customs officer LD Arora in Allahabad. The case was handed over to the CBI. Initially, the don was lodged in Naini Central Jail and then on June 11, 1999, he was transferred to the Bareilly jail. Srivastava asserted that he has served over 26 years in prison and has good conduct, making him entitled to premature release as per the Uttar Pradesh governments policy. Petition rejected earlier Om Prakash Srivastava, also known as Babloo Srivastava, who is currently lodged in the Bareilly Central jail, has sought direction from the Supreme Court to the Uttar Pradesh government to consider his petition for premature release. The latest petition, which was rejected on November 6, was filed on June 24, 2021.

'Furious' jumbos fatally trample two men in Madhya Pradesh after deaths of ten herd members
BHOPAL: Two villagers were trampled to death by wild elephants in separate incidents in the Umaria district of eastern Madhya Pradesh on Saturday morning. One villager who was hurt in one of the incidents has been hospitalised and is now out of danger. While one incident happened in the buffer zone of the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve (BTR), the other took place in one of the villages located outside the BTR territory. The two deceased men have been identified as Ram Ratan Yadav (62) and Bhairav Kol (35). Another villager identified as Malu Sahu, meanwhile, was injured in one of the incidents, while he was harvesting the standing paddy crop in his fields. The two incidents happened between 8 am and 9 am, just a day after 10 wild elephants (including one male and nine females, two of them being pregnant) died in the Salkhaniya jungles of the BTR. With the 13-strong herd now left with only three elephants (including an adult and two semi adults), forest department officials in the area suspect that the three elephants involved in the twin tragedies on Saturday morning may be the remaining members of the same herd of jumbos. Death toll of wild elephants rises to 10 at MPs Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve Elephants are social animals and dont easily forget the loss of herd members. From the details given by the residents of village where the incidents happened on Saturday morning, three elephants, including an adult and two semi-adults, are involved. We suspect that the remaining members of the same herd (particularly the adult) have attacked humans in fury at the deaths of ten elephants. Weve formed multiple teams to search for the three elephants and rescue them after tranquilization, a senior forest department official posted in the concerned region of eastern MP told The New Indian Express . The twin tragedies happened while the entire top brass of the state forest department, particularly the wildlife wing, is camping in the BTR and holding meetings to ascertain the cause of the deaths of the ten elephants inside the tiger reserve. The top brass, including forest minister Ramniwas Rawat and senior bureaucrats and forest officials of the department rushed to BTR on Saturday, hours after the states CM Dr Mohan Yadav held a meeting with them over the deaths of the ten jumbos. According to informed sources, the CM wasnt willing to buy the forest departments theory of the ten deaths having possibly happened due to poisoning by mycotoxin present in the standing Kodo millet crop, which was consumed in large volumes by the 13-strong elephant herd. He is believed to have asked the departments higher-ups to rush to the BTR and adequately probe the deaths followed by a prompt report summing up the findings. Sources added that the central government is keeping tabs on developments in BTR after the elephant deaths. Officials of the NTCA and Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (WCCB) are already in BTR in connection with the ongoing investigations. While the state government has ordered an SIT probe into the elephant deaths, the state forest departments wildlife crime investigation arm, the State Tiger Strike Force (STSF), too is probing the matter from all possible angles. Samples of pond water, standing Kodo and paddy crops, as well as samples of the dead elephants, have been sent for forensic and toxicology analysis at multiple government labs. Viscera of the elephants has been sent for testing at the Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI-Bareilly) and the state forensic lab (SFL-Sagar). While the actual cause behind the ten deaths will only be clearly known once the reports of lab tests are out, autopsy reports of the ten elephants suggest the deaths may have happened due to excessive intake of Kodo crop, which could have been poisoned by the presence of fungal mycotoxins. Kodo is one of the prime millet crops in MP and is being aggressively promoted by the state government, out of PM Narendra Modis sustained vision to globally promote millets.
Ahead of bypoll, Congress targets Madhya Pradesh forest minister over deaths of 10 elephants
BHOPAL: With Madhya Pradeshs forest minister Ramniwas Rawat being the ruling BJPs candidate in one of the two November 13 assembly by-polls in the state, the opposition Congress -- his old party -- has targeted him over the recent deaths of ten elephants in the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve (BTR). Its very sad that ten elephants symbolizing Lord Ganesha died at the BTR ahead of Deepawali. We worship Lord Ganesha, but the states forest minister Ramniwas Rawat couldnt protect the elephants and doesnt want to talk about tribals living in the forest. The biggest negligence is of the forest department. The government hasnt made arrangements for these elephants. Now there is a need to give adequate powers to the forest committees and to establish coordination with the tribals living around this Tiger Reserve area. The government should now question the careless forest officials about the death of these elephants, the states leader of opposition and former MP forest minister Umang Singhar said on Friday. The state Congresss chief spokesperson Bhupendra Gupta too raised the issue of the elephant deaths in a bid to corner Rawat, who is the BJP candidate from Vijaypur seat of Gwalior-Chambal in the byelection on November 13. Rawat is the six-time sitting Congress MLA from the same seat from which he resigned after being made forest minister in the current BJP regime in the state in July. He had ended his decades-long association with the Congress during the Lok Sabha polls earlier this year. Rawat will take on ex-BJP man Mukesh Malhotra (a tribal politician) in the by-election from the constituency which has a sizeable chunk of Saharia tribal voters. These voters whove largely been loyal to the BJP in the past may flock behind their man and Congress candidate this time. The Vijaypur seat also houses the Kuno National Park the first home of cheetahs after their re-introduction in the Indian wilds in September 2022. Death toll of wild elephants rises to 10 at MPs Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve Standing Kodo crop destroyed in BTR jungles Forest department staff at the BTR destroyed and burnt on Friday the standing Kodo millet crop, which was consumed in large volumes by the 13-strong elephant herd on Monday evening in an agricultural field, hours before they started dying on Tuesday. The autopsy of the elephants has revealed presence of large volume of Kodo in their stomach. Vets and forensic experts who conducted the autopsies suspect the role of mycotoxins in Kodo due to fungal moulds in the elephants death. But anything on this aspect will only be fully established, once the detailed reports of analysis of samples sent for forensic and other tests are out, MP forest departments principal chief conservator of forests (PCCF-Wildlife) Vijay N Ambade said in the BTR on Friday. BTR deputy director PK Verma said, According to initial autopsy reports, there is a possibility of mycotoxin present (fungal mould) in the Kodo millet crop being behind the deaths. The viscera of the elephants have been sent to Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI-Bareilly) State Forensic Lab (SFL-Sagar). Based on their reports, further reasons can be found out. There is literature available which suggests similar incidents in the past with elephants elsewhere and the villagers too have informed about similar tragedies having happened with buffaloes and cows after they consumed raw Kodo from fields.

Love Jihad being waged by certain community, poses major threat to nation's unity: UP court
The frail man was rescued from the inhabitable conditions and admitted to a hospital. The frail man was rescued from the inhabitable conditions and admitted to a hospital. Bareilly (UP): The objective of love jihad is to establish dominance by certain anti-social elements of a particular religion against India through demographic warfare and international conspiracy, a local court here has observed. Additional District Judge (Fast Track Court) Ravi Kumar Diwakar said Hindu girls are being lured into love for the sake of illegal conversions and create conditions similar to those in Pakistan and Bangladesh in India. Diwakar said that illegal conversions pose a significant threat to the country's unity, integrity, and sovereignty as he heard a case involving marriage under false identities, relationships, and abortion on Monday. The judge made the remarks while sentencing 25-year-old Mohammad Alim to life imprisonment, convicting him for raping and threatening a student after falsifying his identity. His 65-year-old father too was sentenced to a two-year jail term for aiding the man in the crimes. The complainant in the matter was a 20-year-old woman who was pursuing a computer course in the city. There is a conspiracy to create conditions similar to those in Pakistan and Bangladesh, Judge Diwakar warned. Alim, a native of Jadaunpur village of the Devarnia area, had deceived the woman by posing as 'Anand'. The court also ordered that copies of the ruling be sent to the Chief Secretary and the Director General of Police. The court said that conversions are being conducted through psychological pressure and inducements such as marriage and jobs, and also expressed concerns about potential foreign funding. If the issue is not addressed in time, it could lead to severe consequences, it observed. The court pointed out that the Uttar Pradesh government enacted the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Religious Conversion Act, 2021, specifically to combat illegal conversions through Love Jihad. The Constitution grants every individual the fundamental right to practice and propagate their religion, and this personal freedom cannot be compromised through illegal conversions facilitated by 'Love Jihad', it noted.
Illegal conversions through love jihad are done to fulfill some other big purpose. If the Indian government does not stop illegal conversions through love jihad in time, the country may have to face serious consequences, the Bareilly fast-track court order said

Hyderabad : The Telangana State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in Hyderabad has ordered ICICI Bank to pay compensation of Rs 50,000 and cover legal charges of Rs 10,000 to a victim whose credit card was misused by cybercriminals. T he case was brought forward by 58-year-old businessman Samir Patel, a resident of Trimulgherry, who had been a credit card holder with ICICI Bank since 2013. On January 16, 2022, Patel received notifications on his mobile phone about five unauthorised transactions totalling Rs 1.91 lakh, carried out in Bareilly while he was in Hyderabad with the card in his possession.

Patel then filed an appeal with the State Consumer Commission, which heard the case and reaffirmed that the bank should compensate Patel with Rs 50,000 for issuing a bill after the cyber fraud, along with legal fees of Rs 10,000.

Tiger found dead in Bihar's Valmiki tiger reserve, officials suspect territorial fight
PATNA: Forest officials in Bihars West Champaran district found a male tiger lying dead in the Manguraha forest range of Valmiki Tiger Reserve (VTR) in the west Chamaran district on Friday. This is the second incident of the death of a tiger in VTR due to territorial fight since January this year and fourth one since 2019. The carcass was found during routine patrolling of the forest by the security personnel. They immediately alerted the senior officials of VTR, who banned the entry of any outsider to the site of occurrence. Prime facie it appeared that the death occurred due to the injuries sustained in a fight with other big cats in the forest. The tiger seems to be 8year old. However, age and exact cause of death would be known after postmortem, said divisional forest officer Pradumna Gaurav. Viscera will be sent to the Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI), Bareilly and the Wildlife Institute of India (WWI) at Dehradun for forensic testing, DFO Gaurav said, ruling out the possibility of poaching as the cause of death. On March 25 this year, the carcass of a tiger was recovered from compartment number 55 of Maguraha forest range of VTR. The dead big cat was about 6-7 years old. Prior to this incident, a tigers carcass was found near the Sirisiya forest area under Gobardhana forest range of VTR. Earlier, a tigress was found dead in the Raghiya forest area near Godhaghat village, in VTR, on December 31, 2019. This incident was also attributed to the fight between two big cats over their territory in the forest.

Bareilly polices Operation Talash ends with capture of serial killer who targeted women
LUCKNOW: Serial killer Kuldeep Gangwar, 35, who had been on the run after committing multiple gruesome murders over a period of 14 months in Shahi-Sheeshgarh area of Bareilly district, was nabbed by police on Friday. The district police had launched a massive hunt for the criminal after spotting the body of the ninth victim on July 3. In all, 22 police teams were deputed to nab the perpetrator who had been leaving a pattern behind every killing. The police investigation on the basis of around 1500 pieces of video footage besides other clues gathered from the localities where the killings were reported indicated that a single individual was involved. All the murders had striking similarities with the victims in the age group of 45-55 years, strangulations done around noon and the bodies discarded in sugarcane fields. The massive hunt for the serial killer named 'Operation Talash' was led by Bareilly SSP Anurag Arya. As per Bareilly police sources, besides deploying around two dozen police teams and rummaging through CCTV footage, 600 additional cameras were installed within a range of 25 kilometres to nab the perpetrator. Moreover, the police authorities also made used of Google mapping to track his location and screened data from 1.5 lakh mobile phones, deployed female decoys on secluded stretches and combed other states as well where serial murder cases were cracked. As per the police probe, the criminal belonged to Nawabganj, approximately 45 kilometres from the crime scenes. However, he used to frequently visit his kin in three villages in Shahi-Sheeshgarh area. The mapping of the area revealed a triangle within which all the killings occurred. As per the police sources, the teams captured videos of the daily routine of the killer wherein he could be seen loitering around the villages often stopping to talk with a few village women in groups. According to SSP Arya, the villagers played a significant role in tracking the killer. They described a man who used to roam around from farm-to-farm, avoiding roads to evade identification by police pickets. We released his sketches on Tuesday on the basis of the information we had gathered over a month. Within a day, we were able to identify our suspect. However, our teams, in the guise of villagers, did not apprehend him immediately, instead collecting more information about him, disclosed the SSP. The SSP said that after being arrested, the killer admitted to his crime in at least six killings so far. On the potential motive behind the killings, the SSP, while talking to the media, said that the perpetrator Kuldeep had a troubled childhood and youth having witnessed brutalities on his mother by his father on the instigation of his stepmother. Following such incidents of violence against his mother where he could do nothing to save her from the wrath of his father, Kuldeep nurtured a hatred for women, especially those in the age group of 45-55 years as they reminded him of his stepmother. The SSP further explained that as he grew up, Kuldeep inherited his father's aggression. Over time, he also became addicted to various substances. In the meantime, he got married and started torturing his wife in the same way as his father used to do with his mother. His wife eventually left him and married someone else. Frustrated by those developments, Kuldeep started roaming the village roads and targeted lonely women out of vengeance, strangulating them with their sarees, said the SSP.

Atiq-Ashraf killing: Judicial panel rules out 'pre-planned conspiracy', gives clean chit to police
LUCKNOW: The murder of gangster-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf in police custody by three men posing as journalists was neither a 'pre-planned conspiracy' nor a case of 'police negligence', says the report of the judicial commission formed to investigate the incident which took place under media glare in Prayagraj on the night of April 15, 2023. The commission's report was tabled in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly on the last day of the monsoon session on Thursday. Headed by a retired Allahabad High Court Judge Justice Arvind Kumar Tripathi, the five-member commission was tasked to probe the murder of Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf in police custody while being taken for a routine medical check-up. The commission in its report concluded: The incident of April 15, 2023 in which accused Atiq Ahmed and his brother Khalid Azim alias Ashraf, who were on police custody remand in connection with the Umesh Pal murder case under Police Station Shahganj, Prayagraj, were shot dead by three assailants cannot be said to be the result of a pre-planned conspiracy executed by the State Police. Giving a clean chit to police authorities, the probe commission said: The incident of April 15, 2023 in which accused Atiq Ahmed and his brother Khalid Azim alias Ashraf were killed was not the result of police negligence nor was it possible for them to avoid the incident. Considering that the three assailants who shot Atiq and Ashraf dead posed as journalists, the commission also suggested that the media observe certain restraints while covering such incidents. Media shall not be allowed to telecast live any event/incident in such a manner that it gives the plan/information about the movements of the accused/victims as well as the activities of the police in connection with the said incident, the commission suggested. Media shall not be briefed or informed about the stages of investigation of any criminal incident such as taking the accused for recovery of incriminating objects, the commission observed. When an investigation into a crime of public importance is in progress, the media should avoid conducting any talk show which may hamper the ongoing investigation, it added. Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf, who were already lodged in Gujarat's Sabarmati Jail and Bareilly district jail respectively, were brought to Prayagraj by the police in connection with the murder of lawyer Umesh Pal, a witness to the 2005 murder of BSP MLA Raju Pal. Umesh Pal was shot dead outside his home in February 2023 allegedly by the Atiq Ahmed gang.
