Kharge purification event row: FIR lodged against unknown persons in U'khand's Haldwani
Digital Desk | Dehradun, Sep 8 (IANS) The Nainital Police on Tuesday lodged an FIR against unknown persons over the alleged 'shuddhikaran' (purification) ritual performed at a venue in Uttarakhand's Haldwani following an event addressed by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on August 8. Earlier, a Zero FIR was registered in Bengaluru over the allegation. Addressing the media, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Manjunath T.C said: Complaints and applications were being received from various organisations, individuals, and groups across the state, and from different places, regarding the incident. More than 19 applications were received in Nainital district only. All of these were being legally examined. Accordingly, a case has been registered based on the formal written complaint of Anju, who was the first one to submit a complaint in this matter. The police officer said that the complainant is a local from Haldwani. She demanded action on it, which was also being demanded by various political parties. Following a legal examination and legal review, an FIR has now been registered under relevant sections at the Haldwani Kotwali based on Anju's complaint, he added. The Nainital SSP added that given the sympathetic nature of the case, senior officer and IPS Jagdish Chandra has been handed the charge of investigating the case. This case is now under investigation and whoever wants to submit any evidence regarding this, can reach out to the Investigating Officer, he also said. He added that while the FIR has been lodged against unknown people, it is in relation to the alleged purification ritual carried out at the venue, Ramlila Maidan. Meanwhile, advocate Anju, who is the complainant in the case, refuted the claims of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in the state, that the alleged purification act was carried out in response to Jihadi slogans. Speaking to reporters, she said: I was also present there that day to listen to Mallikarjun Kharge's speech. Nothing of that sort happened. Some people, in order to serve their political interests, are posting edited videos and deceptive facts on social media. I haven't named anyone in the FIR, nor do I have any personal enmity with anyone. She claimed that attempts were being made to ruin social harmony by sharing misleading videos without getting to the bottom of the truth. When I saw those videos on social media where a person was being specifically targeted and purification ritual being carried out against him (Mallikarjun Kharge), I submitted a complaint on August 15. An FIR has now finally been lodged based on it, the lawyer said. She mentioned that the case has been registered under the SC/ST Act and relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. My only request to the police administration is to conduct a fair and impartial investigation. Whoever made these edited videos or engaged in such things, trying to show someone down, belittling someone, or smearing someone's social imageis indulging is unconstitutional acts. She said that though the current FIR has been lodged against unknown people, names will be included in the chargesheet after the investigation is concluded. If I am not satisfied with the probe, I will approach the court, she added.

19 child labourers rescued from Bengalurus Yeshwanthpur APMC market after CM Shivakumar's visit
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 8 (IANS) As many as 19 child labourers, including children from Bihar, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Karnataka, were rescued from shops at the APMC Market in Yeshwanthpur following directions from Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Tuesday. The operation was launched after the Chief Minister visited the APMC Market within the limits of RMC Yard Police Station this morning and interacted with farmers, labourers and traders. During his visit, members of the public brought to his notice that children were allegedly being employed at some shops. Following the Chief Ministers directions, five special teams comprising Assistant Commissioners of Police, Police Inspectors of the North Division and Labour Inspectors were formed under the guidance of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, North Division, to conduct an operation at the market. The teams subsequently rescued 19 child labourers from the APMC Market. Of them, 13 were from Bihar, including 12 boys and one girl; two were from West Bengal; two from Uttar Pradesh; and one each from Rajasthan and Karnataka. Police said four cases have been registered at RMC Yard Police Station against shop owners who allegedly employed child labourers. The cases have been filed under provisions of the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act and the Juvenile Justice Act. Further investigation is underway. In addition, five cases have been registered against shop owners under the Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986, and investigations have been taken up. Separately, 10 children found working on the roadside were also rescued and produced before the Child Welfare Committee, Bengaluru, for further necessary action. The operation was conducted under the guidance of Bengaluru City Police Commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh, IPS, and Joint Commissioner of Police (West) C. Vamshi Krishna, IPS. It was led by DCP, North Division, B.S.

Karnataka CEO clarifies SIR notice to Padma Shri awardee Harekala Hajabba; name mismatch resolved
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 8 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) on Tuesday clarified that the notice issued to Padma Shri awardee Harekala Hajabba during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls was related to a mismatch in his name in the electoral records and said the issue has now been resolved. In a post on social media platform X, the CEO shared a clarification issued by the District Election Officer (DEO), Mangaluru, regarding the correction of Hajabbas name. With regard to the issue concerning the correction of the name of Padma Shri awardee Shri Harekala Hajabba, it is clarified that a mismatch in the name of the elector was found. In order to correct his name, officials visited and collected the documents from him. The issue has now been resolved, the DEO said. The clarification came after election officials served Hajabba a notice asking him to appear with documents following a discrepancy between the name in the current electoral roll and the name recorded during the previous SIR exercise. The notice, which was issued at his residence, directed Hajabba to appear before the election officer with the required documents to retain his name in the final electoral roll. He was asked to appear at the Harekala Gram Panchayat on September 11. However, within a few hours of serving the notice, the Village Accountant reportedly returned to Hajabbas residence and withdrew it. The officials assured him that the discrepancy in his name would be corrected. The development had caused surprise in Mangaluru as Hajabba is widely known for his social work and for building a school in his native Harekala using the money he earned by selling oranges in Mangaluru. He was honoured with the Padma Shri for his contribution to education. According to Hajabba, his name was recorded as simply Hajabba in documents before 2000. After his efforts to build a school gained widespread recognition, Harekala Hajabba became the name by which he was commonly known. He said his Aadhaar card, ration card, passport and other documents carry the name Harekala Hajabba. The same name, he said, is also mentioned in his Padma Shri award, Karnataka Rajyotsava Award and doctorate certificate. Hajabba earlier said that he received the SIR notice around noon and was asked to produce the necessary documents. He said two Anganwadi teachers had delivered the notice and asked him to take a photograph as proof of its service. Later, around 5 p.m., the Village Accountant contacted him and said that there had been a minor mistake and asked him to return the notice. The official subsequently visited his house and took it back, assuring him that the authorities would correct the records. Hajabba said he was confident that the discrepancy would be resolved and that his name would be corrected in the electoral records.

Samsungs ambition is to help India lead next wave of innovations: JB Park
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 8 (IANS) Samsungs ambition is to help India lead the next wave of innovations that can improve lives around the world, says JB Park, Samsung South West Asia President and CEO, as the tech giant marks 30 years in the country. Park said India has evolved from being a market where global technologies were introduced to a country helping imagine, engineer and develop technology for the world. What inspires me most about India is that it constantly exceeds expectations, Park said. Today, we dont look at India just as a market of 1.4 billion people. We see India as a place where the future of technology is being imagined, developed and led, he added. As artificial intelligence (AI) transforms consumer technology, Samsungs engineers in India are also collaborating with global teams to develop next-generation AI experiences. AI will only be meaningful if it solves real problems for real people. And, there are few places that challenge us to do that better than India, Park said. Indias scale, diversity and rapidly evolving technology landscape are increasingly shaping how Samsung approaches innovation. Samsungs R&D engineers in Bengaluru and Noida work alongside colleagues across its global R&D network, contributing to technologies and experiences for India as well as the rest of the world. India challenges us to innovate differently, Park said. Building products for a country of this scale and diversity means designing solutions that are intuitive, inclusive and relevant to millions of people with very different needs. Those innovations often go on to benefit consumers around the world, he added. Samsungs investments in India have also extended beyond manufacturing and R&D to talent, skills, education and innovation. Technology does not create progress on its own. People do, Park said. We believe human potential is the most important technology platform of all, he added. Young people are using technology to solve some of the most pressing problems faced by society. That is exactly the kind of innovation India needs now and in future, he noted. As Samsung marks three decades in the country, he said its legacy in India should ultimately be measured not only by the products, manufacturing ecosystem and research capabilities it has helped build, but by the people and ideas it has helped nurture.
