Sister power script new story in Rajasthan bureaucracy: Manju and Anju Rajpal join IAS ranks
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 14 (IANS) Rajasthans bureaucracy has witnessed a notable milestone in womens representation, with two pairs of biological sisters now serving in the Indian Administrative Service (IAS). Following in the footsteps of Tina Dabi and Riya Dabi, sisters Manju Rajpal and Anju Rajpal have emerged as another prominent sibling duo in the states administrative circles. Anju Rajpal, the younger sister of senior IAS officer Manju Rajpal, has been promoted from the Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) to the IAS. She secured the fifth position on the list of 16 officers promoted to the IAS from the state service, released by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) in Delhi. Anju currently serves as Joint Secretary in the Chief Ministers Office (CMO). Manju Rajpal is a senior IAS officer currently serving as Principal Secretary. Her younger sister, Anju Rajpal, has now joined the IAS cadre following her promotion from the RAS, marking a significant milestone for the family. Anjus elevation places the Rajpal sisters alongside Tina Dabi and Riya Dabi, the well-known IAS siblings who have established their own identities in public administration. The development has also drawn attention to the growing presence of women in Rajasthans administrative services. Tina Dabi and her younger sister, Riya Dabi, are both IAS officers of the Rajasthan cadre who entered the service through direct recruitment. Tina Dabi secured All India Rank 1 in the 2015 Civil Services Examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). Riya Dabi also achieved a notable result in the Civil Services Examination, securing All India Rank 15 in 2020. The sisters have become familiar names in Indias administrative landscape, with their achievements inspiring many aspiring civil servants, particularly women. With Anju Rajpals promotion, the Rajpal sisters now join the Dabi sisters as another pair of biological sisters serving in the IAS in Rajasthan. Anju Rajpal secured the fifth position in the list of officers promoted from the Rajasthan Administrative Service to the IAS. Her current posting as Joint Secretary in the Chief Ministers Office places her in an important administrative role. Her promotion represents a significant professional achievement and adds another milestone to the Rajpal familys administrative legacy. Together, the sisters careers highlight different routes into the IAS: Manju Rajpals established career as a senior IAS officer and Anju Rajpals elevation from the state administrative service. The promotion order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training included 16 officers from the Rajasthan Administrative Service who were elevated to the IAS. Among the officers named in the list were Ummed Singh, Vivek Kumar, Mukesh Kumar Sharma, Dr Bhagchand Badhal, Aslam Sher Khan, Narendra Kumar Bansal, Poonam Prasad Sagar and Gopal Ram Birda. The promotions are expected to strengthen the states administrative machinery by bringing experienced state-service officers into the IAS cadre. The emergence of the Rajpal sisters alongside the Dabi sisters has added a new dimension to Rajasthans administrative landscape. While their professional journeys have followed different paths, both pairs exemplify the growing visibility of women in senior public-service roles. As Anju Rajpal begins her journey in the IAS, the Rajpal sisters achievement offers another noteworthy example of professional advancement and womens participation in public administration.

Gehlots remarks reflect his frustration over Congress declining political fortunes: Rajasthan BJP
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 14 (IANS) BJP Rajasthan State President Madan Rathore on Wednesday launched a sharp attack on former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, alleging that his recent statements reflect his frustration over the Congress party's declining political fortunes. Rathore accused Gehlot of making misleading remarks on delimitation, women's reservation and constitutional institutions while overlooking his own government's record. Rathore said Gehlot was making irresponsible statements on delimitation despite having overseen the delimitation of municipal bodies during his tenure as Chief Minister. He alleged that multiple municipal corporations were created in various cities for political reasons to prevent the BJP from gaining an advantage. He further accused the previous Congress government of manipulating ward boundaries to benefit a particular community while restricting the BJP's traditional strongholds. Responding to Gehlot's repeated questions about the rebellion within his own party, Rathore said the former Chief Minister should first clarify his position on Sachin Pilot. Gehlot frequently questions the BJP about the rebellion against him by his own party colleagues. Yet, he has also attempted to project unity by appearing alongside those very leaders, whether on a motorcycle or before the party high command. He must clarify whether he stands with Sachin Pilot or continues to regard him as 'useless' and 'incompetent', Rathore said. Commenting on Gehlot's statements regarding women's reservation and the proposed increase in the number of Lok Sabha and Assembly seats through delimitation, Rathore alleged that the former Chief Minister was speaking without complete information. Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal for consensus on the Women's Reservation Bill, Rathore said the Prime Minister had urged political parties to support the legislation and take credit for it rather than obstruct the empowerment of women. He alleged that the Congress leadership, including Rahul Gandhi, had hindered efforts to ensure greater representation for women. Rathore also questioned Gehlot's references to China and demanded that the Congress make public the memorandum of understanding (MoU) it had signed with the Chinese side. He asked why the agreement had not been disclosed and referred to questions reportedly raised by the Supreme Court regarding an agreement between a political party in India and a foreign government or political party. If Gehlot is a senior national leader who is genuinely concerned about the country, he should ensure that the agreement with China is made public. The people have a right to know what it contains, Rathore said. Rathore further argued that delimitation could not explain the Congress party's prolonged electoral setbacks in several states. He said the BJP had spent years in opposition building public trust and had worked to fulfil people's expectations whenever it came to power. According to Rathore, the BJP's political growth over successive decades contrasted with the Congress's declining electoral performance. He accused the Congress of invoking delimitation to divert attention from its organisational weaknesses and repeated electoral defeats. Addressing the Congress's reported intention to approach the Supreme Court over delimitation-related issues, Rathore said democratic institutions had established procedures and constitutional responsibilities that political parties must respect. He cautioned that undermining institutional processes could weaken the country's democratic framework and create an atmosphere of disorder. Congress respects neither the mandate of the people nor the provisions of the Constitution drafted under the leadership of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, Rathore said.
Rajasthan Cabinet approves proposal to felicitate PM Modi
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 14 (IANS) The Rajasthan Cabinet has approved a proposal to felicitate Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the completion of his 25 years in public office. Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma announced this while addressing the media after the Cabinet meeting, saying Rajasthan would play a key role in realising the Prime Ministers vision of a Viksit Bharat (Developed India). Sharma highlighted several major achievements under the Modi government, including the consecration of the Ram Mandir and progress on long-pending inter-state water agreements. He said the spirit of cooperative federalism had helped advance the Yamuna Water Agreement, the Narmada Water Agreement and the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP). He also highlighted the signing of memorandums of understanding (MoUs) worth 35 lakh crore during the Global Rajasthan Summit and the inauguration of the Pachpadra Refinery by the Prime Minister. According to the Chief Minister, greenfield expressways spanning more than 27,750 kilometres are being developed, while Rajasthans solar power capacity has increased by 28 gigawatts during the state governments tenure. He said the state had benefited significantly from the Prime Ministers leadership and guidance. Sharma said around 30 crore saplings had been planted in Rajasthan under the Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam campaign. Emphasising the importance of youth in nation-building, he said recruitment processes for one lakh posts were currently underway. The Chief Minister claimed that more than 410 examinations had been conducted without paper leaks. He added that the government was working to ensure daytime electricity supply to farmers across 26 districts. Sharma said Rajasthan was implementing the concept of One State, One Election in line with the Prime Ministers vision. Panchayati Raj elections are being conducted simultaneously, he said, adding that elections held at different times had previously disrupted development activities. The Chief Minister said information about public welfare schemes was being disseminated in rural areas through Seva Sankalp Raths, dedicated to marking the Prime Ministers 25-year journey in public service. The initiative aims to ensure that the benefits of government schemes reach every eligible family. Sharma said the vision of a Viksit Bharat could be realised only by strengthening basic amenities in villages and making the rural economy self-reliant. He said the Centre and the state government, working together under the double-engine government framework, were advancing development initiatives in rural areas. The state government is focusing on preparing development plans tailored to the needs of individual villages and ensuring that their benefits reach the last person in society. Under the Viksit Gaon, Viksit Bharat Abhiyan, suggestions were collected from farmers, livestock rearers, women and senior citizens through Gram Sabhas and community meetings. Based on these consultations, a Village Development Pledge Document was prepared, reflecting villagers aspirations and their commitment to collective development.
Strengthen security of official email IDs: Rajasthan Police to govt officials
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 14 (IANS) The Rajasthan Police cyber wing (R4C) has issued an advisory urging government officials and employees to strengthen the security of their official email IDs and prevent unauthorised access. Additional Director General of Police (Cyber Crime) V.K. Singh said cybercriminals pose a persistent threat of stealing and misusing government email IDs and passwords. Instances of government email login credentials being leaked and offered for sale on the dark web have come to the notice of the Security Operations Centre (SOC), he added. Singh cautioned that government email IDs are used not only for official correspondence but also to access Rajasthan SSO and other critical government services. A leak of email credentials could therefore result in unauthorised access to departmental information, confidential documents and other sensitive digital resources. Government employees often use their official email IDs to register on private platforms, including Amazon, Flipkart, Zomato, Facebook, cab-booking services and gaming apps. If they use the same password for these platforms and their government email accounts, a data breach on any of these services could compromise their official accounts. Cybercriminals may exploit stolen credentials to gain unauthorised access to government systems and digital resources, including SSO, SecLAN and RajSWAN, potentially exposing sensitive departmental information. The advisory urges officials and employees to remain alert to receiving unexpected login alerts or one-time passwords (OTPs), finding emails in the 'Sent' folder that they did not send, being automatically logged out of their government email accounts or discovering that their passwords have been changed, finding emails marked as 'Read' that they have not opened, receiving unusual or suspicious messages from colleagues' official email IDs and immediate steps to secure Government email accounts. Officials who have used their government email IDs to register on shopping or social media apps have been advised to remove those IDs from the respective profiles and replace them with personal email addresses. They should immediately change their government email passwords using a secure device and check whether their email addresses appear in known data breaches through the website haveibeenpwned.com. Any suspicious activity should be reported promptly to the concerned IT Helpdesk or Security Operations Centre (SOC).

Nothing suspicious found on Air India flight after hijack alert
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 14 (IANS) An Air India flight from Frankfurt to Delhi, which made an emergency landing at Jaipur International Airport following a reported hijack alert, has been cleared to continue its journey after security checks found nothing suspicious, airport officials said on Wednesday. Officials told IANS that passengers had been asked to board flight AI-2030 and that the aircraft was preparing to depart for Delhi. The flight made an emergency landing at Jaipur International Airport on Wednesday morning after Ahmedabad Air Traffic Control (ATC) reportedly received a hijack alert from the aircraft. The alert was subsequently communicated to Jaipur ATC, following which the aircraft was diverted and made to land in Jaipur at around 9.45 a.m. Security agencies immediately initiated an inspection, and passengers were deboarded as a precaution. According to preliminary reports, approximately 300 passengers were on board. The aircraft was moved to an isolation bay, where security personnel, including a team from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), conducted checks. The inspection reportedly lasted around two and a half hours. No suspicious objects were found on board, according to officials. Security agencies also questioned the pilot to establish how the alert was triggered. Initial reports suggested that the hijack alert might have been triggered accidentally when the pilot pressed the designated alert button. Another preliminary account indicated that a technical or system error could have generated the message. However, sources said the pilot denied accidentally pressing the alert button during questioning. No official statement had been issued relating to the cause of the alert at the time of reporting. Following the security inspection, agencies reportedly cleared the aircraft to proceed to Delhi. The precise circumstances surrounding the alert remained under investigation. According to information, the aircraft departed from Frankfurt at 9.45 p.m. on October 13 and was scheduled to arrive in Delhi at 10.40 a.m. on October 14. The flight was diverted to Jaipur after the reported alert was received. Security was tightened at Jaipur Airport following the incident. Teams from multiple agencies, including the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), were present at the airport. Reports also indicated that an NSG team in Delhi had been placed on standby, although its deployment to Jaipur was not officially confirmed. Code 7500 is the internationally recognised transponder code used by pilots to indicate unlawful interference, including a hijacking. When air traffic control receives this code, it can trigger an immediate security response and coordination between the flight crew, ATC and relevant security agencies. Even when an alert is suspected to be accidental or caused by a technical fault, authorities may follow precautionary procedures until the situation has been assessed.

In 1975, Gabbar Singh's iconic question, Kitne aadmi the?, from Sholay became a part of popular culture. 51 years later, another question has caught the fancy of moviegoers: Madira peeke so gaye?! Uttered by Raghu Nayak (Ajeet Singh Pallawat) in the blockbuster Drishyam The Conclusion, the hilarious one-liner has become a rage, especially on social media. The fact that the dialogue is also repeated by Jaideep Ahlawat and Kamlesh Sawant's characters has added to its popularity. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Ajeet Singh Pallawat opened up about the viral dialogue, his experience of working with Ajay Devgn and Jaideep Ahlawat, his fascinating journey as an actor and a lot more. Your role, and especially the Madira peeke so gaye? dialogue, has become quite popular (Smiles) All I can say is thank you to the audience for enjoying my dialogue so much. It has also become quite popular on social media. As for the film, I feel very happy to be a part of a franchise that has never disappointed the audience. As a performer, I thoroughly enjoyed essaying Raghu even in Drishyam 2 (2022). This time, the joy was double and hence, I am even more thankful. We performed the dialogue in different variations. Since it was repeated so many times, audiences also took to it. Moreover, Gaitonde (Kamlesh Sawant) and Tomar (Jaideep Ahlawat) also mouthed the dialogue, which added to the fun. You had more screen time in the third part. Did you receive more feedback for your performance in Drishyam The Conclusion? I guess that's the reality screen time se actors ki presence aur uske kaam aur craft ko aankhte hain. At least, that's what I feel. I am glad the makers gave more importance and space to Raghu. Last time, he became a part of the narrative and managed to catch the audience's attention. But yes, this time, the audience noticed my performance even more. I thoroughly enjoyed performing, especially since most of my scenes were with Ajay Devgn sir. This time, I also got to work with some more actors. As performers, that's what we want more and more people should watch and appreciate our work. Your character is also seen performing in a play. Were there any interesting changes made to that sequence? Originally, I was supposed to play Draupadi! But the makers and the director took a creative decision. They felt that if the depiction of Draupadi didn't come across as intended, toh arth ka anarth ho sakta hai. Hence, just a few days before the shoot, my role in the play was changed from Draupadi to Chanakya. There were also some scenes featuring me, beautifully written by Aamil Keeyan Khan, which further established Raghu Nayak's love for acting. However, they were edited out, probably because they didn't fit into the film's pace and rhythm. Also, the scenes that were retained were enough for the audience to understand his world and life. Nevertheless, those deleted scenes were quite interesting and had some fun one-liners as well. How was the experience of working with Ajay Devgn and Jaideep Ahlawat? It was amazing. You understand why they are so respected in the world of acting. You can sense that they draw from their real-life experiences while performing. The way they respond to a scene or your dialogue, you realize that there's a certain depth to their performances. Nothing feels shallow. I come from a theatre background and it's easy for us to recognize when actors are completely immersed in their characters. It's almost as if you're not talking to the actor but to the character himself. Hence, I got to learn a lot from both Ajay sir and Jaideep sir. While going through your filmography, one thing that stands out is that you have played a cop quite a few times (Laughs) I have done around 15-17 roles and, in most of them, I have played a police inspector. My friends even joke, 'Ek permanent vardi silwa lo'! But I have no complaints. I am happy to be getting interesting roles and opportunities to perform for the audience. Also, whether it was Sector 36 (2024) or Vedaa (2024), my characters had significance. They were not limited to saying 'Tumhe giraftar kiya jaata hai' or 'Police ne tumhe chaaro taraf se gher liya hai'! They had a lot more to say and do. In Criminal Justice, I again played a cop, but the character also had a personal life that was explored. In the Drishyam series, Raghu Nayak is an aspiring actor and often expresses his desire to pursue a career in acting. In real life, did you also always want to become an actor? Yes, you could say that. I am from Jaipur and I was in Class 6 or 7 when I performed at a 'Bal Sabha' in my school. I received a lot of applause from my teachers and classmates. You can say I tasted blood that day! When I was in Class 9, I read an interview with Irrfan Khan sir in which he credited NSD (National School of Drama) for his journey. I immediately opened the directory and called NSD. I asked them how I could get admission to the institute. The person on the other end asked me, 'What do you do?'. I replied, 'I am a student in Class 9'. He said, 'Beta, pehle graduate ho ke aao'! From that day onwards, I decided that I would graduate only so that I could get admission to NSD. In 2006, I attended an NSD workshop but didn't get selected for admission. I prepared again in 2007 and, luckily, I got selected. It was a life-changing experience. You were also a part of Poster Boys (2017) I did a play called Main Hoon Yusuf Aur Ye Hai Mera Bhai. The associate director of Poster Boys saw the play and asked me to audition for a role. I had just arrived in Mumbai and hadn't faced the camera much. But I was happy that an offer had come my way and immediately accepted it. It was a fun experience. I got a chance to meet Shreyas Talpade and we hit it off very well. In fact, I am also a part of his upcoming directorial, Sar Car Ki Seva Mei. Did you get a chance to interact with Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol? Yes. It was a comeback film of sorts for Bobby sir. Since we shot together for around 30-35 days, I got plenty of opportunities to interact with both of them and we developed a bond. In fact, Sunny sir had prepared a speech from Othello as part of his preparation to apply to a drama school in London. He has never spoken about it openly, but I know about it (smiles). What's next? I continue to do theatre. I recently performed in a play called Virasat. It's a fascinating experiment a live performance that goes on for three-and-a-half hours! It is directed by Anuradha Kapur, former director of NSD, and produced by the KNMA group from Delhi. The script has been written by Mahesh Elkunchwar, the prominent Marathi playwright. As for films, Sar Car Ki Seva Mei will be released soon. I am also a part of Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga 2. Since I was in the first part, I have a small role in the sequel as well.

Passengers may be deboarded under the supervision of security personnel, depending on the threat assessment and instructions issued by the authorities.

Authorities seek to establish the origin and credibility of the alert, examine available evidence and determine whether any security breach occurred. The aircraft can return to service only after the necessary security checks and clearances have been completed. The diversion of the Air India flight to Jaipur and the subsequent security inspection were precautionary measures following the reported alert. Further details were awaited as the inspection and investigation progressed.

AI skills redraw entry-level jobs map
Indias IT-BPM sector is set to revive fresher hiring after a sharp contraction, but the recovery is rewiring the skills companies seek in graduates.Fresher hiring in the sector is projected to rise to up to 2.1 lakh in FY27, after falling to an estimated 1.75 lakh in FY26 from 4 lakh in FY22, according to technology consulting and talent advisory firm HAN Digitals IT-BPM Graduate Hiring Outlook 2027.However, demand is increasingly shifting towards artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), data engineering, cybersecurity and other specialised technology roles, away from conventional entry-level coding and business process outsourcing jobs.IT Services players will remain the largest employers of the sectors freshers, accounting for about 60% of hires, though growth now will be concentrated in AI-adjacent and specialised roles.GCCs are the fastest-growing channel, expected to recruit 28% of talent as they expand intake into Tier II/III cities. Pure-play BPOs share keeps shrinking, mirroring the shift from routine execution to specialised, AI-adjacent work.The rise in fresher hiring reflects a structural reset in how IT services firms are building their talent pyramid, said Saravanan Balasundaram, CEO, HAN Digital Solution.As system integrators and IT Service providers sign more AI, data engineering and AI-enabled deals with existing and new clients, the bench capacity reduced by layoffs over the last few years can no longer absorb the demand, he said. At the same time, new AI roles in data engineering, AI testing, annotation and model operations are opening up at the base of the pyramid, where AI-ready graduates can be skilled and deployed at scale, while mid-level hiring in the four+ years band remains under cost and productivity pressure.The shift is changing expectations from new recruits. As AI tools take over parts of routine coding, testing and repetitive tasks, employers increasingly want graduates who can work with AI systems, validate their outputs and apply technology to business problems.The skillsets that companies are hiring for are definitely changing, said Sangeeta Gupta, senior VP, Nasscom. Its much more focused on AI capabilities there are new jobs that are also opening up with data centres coming up.The traditional model of bulk hiring, six months of training and deployment is also changing. The new kind of freshers companies need are AI-native, she said.This change is also visible in salaries. Freshers with AI-allied skills can command significantly higher pay, indicating that employers are increasingly paying for specialised skills rather than graduate headcount alone.Indias Tier-1 IT Services players 2027 fresher model offers Rs 1222 lakh for select specialised engineers in AI, data engineering, cybersecurity and enterprise tech as the premium shifts toward specialised technology capability, found the report.This would never happen in the past, said Gupta, citing Infosys plan to offer up to Rs 21 lakh for certain specialised tech roles. Entry-level salaries across ITeS meanwhile have largely stagnated at Rs 3-4 lakh for years.Recruitment geography is widening too. Bengaluru remains the leading fresher destination, accounting for an estimated 25% of onboarding, followed by Delhi-NCR at 17%, Hyderabad at 16%, Chennai at 15% and Mumbai and Pune at 10% each. Yet, Tier 2/3 corridors are outpacing metro growth, albeit on a smaller base, at 35% year-on-year.Coimbatore, Jaipur, Kochi, Indore, Ahmedabad, and Visakhapatnam are attracting freshers via local GCC centres and IT services players seeking lower-cost talent pools beyond major metros.

Air India Frankfurt-Delhi flight makes emergency landing in Jaipur after Squawk 7500 alert
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 14 (IANS) An Air India flight from Frankfurt to Delhi made an emergency landing in Jaipur on Wednesday after reportedly transmitting Squawk 7500, the international code used to indicate a hijacking, as per multiple reports. Reports claim that the alert was received by Ahmedabad Air Traffic Control (ATC), following which the aircraft landed safely in Jaipur. Further details about the circumstances that triggered the alert were not immediately available. Squawk 7500 is an internationally recognised aviation transponder code that pilots use to discreetly alert air traffic control to a hijacking or unlawful interference with an aircraft. The incident also caused concern among passengers on board, according to them. Earlier in October, airline firms continued to suspend operations to Saudi Arabia amid escalating security concerns. Air India Express on Tuesday suspended flights to and from Dammam, Jeddah and Riyadh until October 17, citing the evolving security situation in the region. The airline said affected passengers are being offered complimentary rescheduling options or a full refund in case of cancellations. The carrier added that it is closely monitoring developments before taking any further decisions on operations. In view of the evolving situation in the region, we have cancelled flights to and from Dammam, Jeddah and Riyadh until 17 October. Affected guests are being offered complimentary rescheduling or a full refund on cancellation. We continue to monitor the situation closely, an Air India Express spokesperson said. The suspension comes amid escalating security concerns in Saudi Arabia following drone and missile strikes that targeted airport infrastructure in the region. Air India had extended the suspension of its flights to and from Riyadh until October 15 after repeated attacks on Saudi Arabia's capital airport by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi rebels. The disruption has also prompted other Indian carriers, including IndiGo and Akasa Air, to cancel services to affected destinations in Saudi Arabia. IndiGo has extended the cancellation of its flights to Riyadh and Dammam until October 15. Saudi authorities have kept Riyadh airport shut for the time being following the strikes and subsequent security threats. Airlines said they are continuing to revise schedules amid heightened tensions linked to the broader conflict involving Iran and the United States.

Rajasthan: 4 arrested in former MLA Atar Singh Bhadana murder case
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 13 (IANS) Police have arrested four accused in connection with the murder of former Bayana MLA Attar Singh Bhedana in Rajasthan's Bharatpur district. The accused have been identified as Bhagmal Gurjar, Soni Gurjar, Sher Singh Gurjar, and Kunwar Singh Gurjar. According to reports, three of them are residents of Bhaunda village, while the fourth belongs to Navar village. Tension and an atmosphere of silence have prevailed in the area since the former MLA's death. Police had earlier detained several people for questioning as part of the investigation. The detention of numerous villagers reportedly prompted many residents of Bhaunda to lock their homes and leave the village temporarily. The arrests come amid growing pressure on the authorities to bring those responsible to justice. Atar Singh Bhadana's wife, Kamlesh Bhadana, has filed a complaint at Vair police station naming 30 individuals and accusing another 50-60 unidentified persons in connection with the incident. The murder is reportedly linked to an ongoing dispute over a mining lease and crusher operations. According to the complaint filed by Kamlesh Bhadana, a confrontation occurred a day before the fatal incident involving individuals associated with the mining lease and crusher site. A case concerning that altercation was also registered at the police station. The following day, an alleged attack took place at the mining complex, resulting in the former MLAs death. According to the complaint, a group of approximately 70-80 people allegedly entered the mining lease and crusher premises and carried out an attack involving assault, stone-pelting, gunfire and arson. The complainant alleged that the attackers intended to dismantle the crusher unit. The complaint further states that Bhedana was assaulted during the incident. His limbs were allegedly broken, and he was struck on the head with a gandasa, a heavy, sharp-edged agricultural implement. He sustained severe injuries and was referred to Jaipur for further treatment but died on the way. These allegations are part of the complaint and remain subject to investigation. With four arrests reported, the investigation is expected to focus on establishing the alleged roles of the accused and determining whether others were involved. Further details regarding the arrests, interrogation and possible involvement of additional suspects are awaited from the police. The murder has left the area in an atmosphere of grief and tension, with a significant police presence reported amid concerns over the law-and-order situation. Attention is now focused on the investigation and the steps authorities take to establish the circumstances surrounding the killing. The case remains under investigation, and the allegations against the arrested individuals have yet to be established in court.

Ashok Gehlot praises Delhi protests; calls for Oppn unity to safeguard democracy
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 13 (IANS) Former Rajasthan Chief Minister and senior Congress leader, Ashok Gehlot, on Tuesday praised the protest held in Delhi, saying it had sent a strong message across the country about citizens' commitment to protecting democracy. He also called for unity within the Congress to strengthen the nationwide fight against what he described as dictatorial forces. Interacting with the media at Bikaner Airport, Gehlot said the protest had been magnificent and asserted that the country and its younger generation, including Gen Z, were united in the fight to safeguard democratic values. We will not allow the designs of these dictatorial forces to succeed at any cost, he said. Responding to a question about his recent statement in Jaipur that we are all one, Gehlot said his remarks had been made after careful consideration and that the unity he had spoken about would become evident. He said democracy in the country was in danger and that the Congress, under the leadership of party President Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi, was fighting against what he termed dictatorial forces. At a time like this, if we do not remain united within the states, how can we fight the battle to save democracy nationwide? Gehlot asked, adding that protecting democracy was the party's foremost priority. When asked whether IAS and IPS officers were dominating the Bhajanlal Sharma-led Rajasthan government, leading to the current situation, Gehlot questioned the government's authority over the administration. There is no such thing as a government there! Officials themselves are saying that this government has no grip or influence over the administration, he said. On whether he would work his political magic in the upcoming Panchayati Raj elections, Gehlot expressed confidence that the Congress would secure a massive majority. He said the Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC), under the leadership of President Govind Singh Dotasra and Leader of the Opposition Tikaram Jully, was working to bring everyone together. According to Gehlot, committees have been constituted at the district, block and state levels to oversee preparations for the Panchayati Raj elections. He said the organisational exercise had changed the political atmosphere across Rajasthan and expressed confidence that the Congress would contest the elections unitedly and register a spectacular victory.

CM Sharma orders probe into Bhedana's death; Beniwal demands removal of IG, SP
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 13 (IANS) Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has directed the Director General of Police (DGP) to ensure a fair and thorough investigation into the death of former BJP MLA Attar Singh Bhedana. Bhedana was allegedly lynched to death by a mob in the Bharatpur district on Monday following a dispute over the resumption of a crusher plant. Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) president and Nagaur MP Hanuman Beniwal has demanded the immediate removal of the Bharatpur Range Inspector General (IG) and the district Superintendent of Police (SP). The developments come amid mounting demands for accountability following the alleged murder of the former Bayana MLA in Bharatpur district. Chief Minister Sharma spoke to the DGP on Monday to obtain details of the case and review the situation. According to sources, he also discussed the matter with Minister of State for Home Affairs Jawahar Singh Bedham and directed him to monitor developments closely. The Chief Minister has stressed the need for a fair and comprehensive investigation to establish the facts and ensure appropriate action. Beniwal has raised concerns over the state's law-and-order situation and the functioning of the police administration in connection with Bhadana's death. The RLP chief demanded the immediate removal of the Bharatpur Range IG and the district SP, arguing that an impartial investigation was essential. Beniwal also referred to allegations by local residents that Bhedana was assaulted following alleged instigation by Minister of State for Home Affairs Jawahar Singh Bedham. These allegations require investigation and have not been established as facts. Meanwhile, heavy police deployment continues in Bhonda village, where an atmosphere of tension and silence has reportedly prevailed following the incident. A medical board conducted a post-mortem examination at the mortuary of Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital in Jaipur on Monday. Following the examination, the family took Bhadana's body to Pali village in Haryana's Faridabad district. The family has demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the incident. Bhedana's wife, Kamlesh Bhadana, has filed a murder complaint against approximately 80 people, naming several alleged assailants. According to her complaint, she attempted to protect her husband during the attack but was pushed aside and assaulted. She also sustained injuries in the incident. The complaint further refers to an earlier incident on September 25, when a group allegedly entered the stone crusher unit, assaulted employees, vandalised the facility and fled. A complaint regarding that incident was lodged at Weir police station on September 27. The allegations and the circumstances surrounding Bhedana's death are expected to be examined as part of the investigation. Attar Singh Bhedana is survived by a son and four daughters. His youngest daughter, Kiran Bhedana, is an IAS officer from the 2017 batch. His son, Arjun Singh Bhedana, practises law at the Supreme Court. His death has triggered widespread grief in political circles and across the Bharatpur region, with condolences pouring in from administrative and legal circles as well.
