Murder accused hotelier shot at for attacking cop

BENGALURU: Kaggalipura police shot a 50-year-old murder accused in the leg, after he allegedly attacked a policeman during a spot mahazar. The accused, S Somesha, a resident of Sarakki in JP Nagar 1st Stage, is a rowdy sheeter in JP Nagar police station. He was absconding in Uttar Pradesh after killing his close friend in December last year. On credible information, police arrested him in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, and brought him to Kaggalipura police station early on Saturday. After completing the arrest formalities, they took him to the place where he had disposed of the body, and the weapon used to commit the offence. Police said Somesha was taken to Smashana Road in Uttarahalli, Bengaluru South, on Saturday afternoon, when he allegedly attacked a head constable, Medappa (40), in a bid to escape. He was shot in his left leg and shifted to Kaggalipura Government Hospital for surgery. The accused, a hotelier, is said to be involved in four other murder cases, besides other heinous crimes. On December 5 last year, the accused killed his friend Ayyappan Chilladorai Thevar, who had taken money from Somesha to start hotels at Anjanapura and Mumbai, and failed to return it. After incurring loss in business, Thevar was unable to return the money, and despite this, he sought financial help from the accused again. Frustrated over this, the accused and two others had strangled Thevar to death using a cable wire. The accused had then disposed of the body on Kaggalipura Tank Bund. The weapon was thrown inside a eucalyptus grove on Bannerghatta Road. Somesha then travelled towards Hubballi and had burnt the clothes that he wore at the time of the murder, said an officer.

Uttar Pradesh: Cracks surface in SP over Congress tieup, ticket to outsiders

LUCKNOW: Akhilesh Yadavs decision to give party nominations to three outsiders in the fifth and latest list of candidates for the Lok Sabha elections has not gone down well with the party rank and file. Many aspiring Samajwadi Party leaders from western UPs Nagina, Meerut and Bhadohi seats feel disappointed. The party nominees declared in the third round of candidate selection on Friday, especially in a few western UP seats, have fueled discontent. The party preferred Advocate Bhanu Pratap Singh from the Meerut seat and retired additional district judge (Bijnor) Manoj Kumar from Nagina in Bijnor district while sparing the Bhadohi seat for Trinamool Congress, an INDIA ally. Party insiders say sitting MLA Atul Pradhan of Sardhana in Meerut district was an aspirant for the ticket from Meerut. He was ready to field his wife if the party did not select him. The BJP has been winning from Meerut since 2014, and Rajendra Agarwal has been the MP twice. The BSP was the runner-up in 2014 and 2019. After the list, Pradhan wrote on X: The people of Meerut prayed for me. I apologise to you for not getting a chance. Even the candidature of Manoj Kumar, the partys choice for Nagina Lok Sabha constituency, has also caused some resentment. Manoj Kumar joined the SP only recently. It was speculated that the SP would leave the Nagina constituency, a reserved seat, for Azad Samaj Party chief Chandra Shekhar Azad Ravan. Current party MLA Manoj Kumar Paras was also seeking a ticket from the seat for his wife Neelam. Girish Chandra was the joint SP-BSP candidate for Nagina in 2019. BSP MP Sangeeta joins BJP BSP MP Sangeeta Azad, who represents Uttar Pradeshs Lalganj seat in the outgoing Lok Sabha, joined the BJP on Monday in the presence of several senior leaders of the ruling party. The Dalit leader was inducted into the BJP by its national general secretary Vinod Tawde, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak and state BJP president Bhupendra Singh. Tawde assured that the BJP will give Azad full opportunity to make her contribution

LS polls: Laliteshpati Tripathi hopes to carry forward grandfather Kamlapati's legacy in Bhadohi

BHADOHI: Laliteshpati Tripathi is looking to carry forward the legacy of his great grandfather and veteran Congress leader Kamalapati Tripathi, though on a ticket from the Trinamool Congress which has fielded him here. Laliteshpati Tripathi, the joint candidate of the Samajwadi Party, Congress and TMC of the INDIA bloc, told PTI that a strong ant-BJP wave was blowing in Bhadohi, close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Varanasi constituency. Laliteshpati Tripathi left Congress in 2021 and joined the Trinamool Congress. He got the Bhadohi seat as SP president Akhilesh Yadav had promised to keep the parliamentary constituency reserved for the TMC, he said. BJP's Ramesh Chand Bind won the seat in the 2019 Lok Sabha election defeating the BSP candidate by a slender margin. BSP, which has announced that it will go alone this time, is yet to announce its candidate. When didi (Mamata Banerjee) held meetings in Lucknow and Varanasi in support of Akhilesh Yadav during the 2022 Assembly elections, she asked him to make a promise to ensure that the legacy of former Congress working president and Railway Minister Pandit Kamlapati Tripathi is carried forward, Laliteshpati Tripathi told PTI. TMC unhappy with seven-phase polls in Bengal; BJP, Congress, CPM welcome decision Akhilesh Yadav skips INDIA bloc mega rally in Mumbai, cites election preparation in UP as reason Recently when the meeting of the INDIA bloc was held in Bihar, the TMC chief reminded Yadav of their earlier conversation and he fulfilled his promise by giving the Bhadohi seat, where the SP is a strong contender, to the TMC, Laliteshpati Tripathi said. We expected the SP to leave the Mirzapur seat (for TMC), but I was surprised when it gave the Bhadohi Lok Sabha seat to us. I want to carry forward the legacy of Kamalapati Tripathi under the banner of the TMC, he said. I had also told Mamata didi of my desire to contest the Assembly elections from Marihan seat in Mirzapur district, but she clearly refused, saying that we will ask for a Lok Sabha seat and not an Assembly seat from Akhilesh Yadav, he said. Laliteshpati Tripathi had won the Marihan seat in the 2012 Assembly polls on a Congress ticket. Asked about the challenges before him as the TMC does not have an organisation or cadre base in Uttar Pradesh, he said his father Rajeshpati Tripathi had contested the Lok Sabha election twice from Bhadohi in 2004 and 2009 on a Congress ticket. This area is not new to us, he said, exuding confidence that he is going to win. He also claimed that the TMC will open its account in Uttar Pradesh by winning the Bhadohi seat, close to Varanasi -- the constituency of Prime Minister Narendra Modi from where he will be seeking election for the third term. There is a strong anti-BJP wave in Bhadohi, he claimed. Besides, Banerjee and Yadav are likely to address a joint rally in Varanasi and Bhadohi, he asserted. Laliteshpati Tripathi's father Rajeshpati Tripathi and his grandfather Lokpati Tripathi were ministers in the Uttar Pradesh government. Lokpati Tripathi's father Kamlapati Tripathi was the former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and Railway Minister at the Centre. In a major setback to the Congress in 2021 Laliteshpati Tripathi, considered close to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra resigned from the Congress. At the time of his resignation, he was the vice president of Uttar Pradesh Congress and working in the team of Priyanka Gandhi. Laliteshpati Tripathi had unsuccessfully contested the 2019 parliament elections from Mirzapur. After failed BSP experiment in 2019, SP pins hope on Congress tie-up to stop BJP juggernaut in UP BJP trusts old guard in Uttar Pradesh, repeats 44 sitting MPs in first list of LS candidates

Gulfam Kills Wife in Meerut After Influence by Maulvi, Arrested

Lucknow: A shocking incident unfolded in Abdullahpur of Meerut's Bhawanpur on March 13th when Gulfam murdered his wife, Mursleen, under the alleged influence of a Muslim cleric. Gulfam first strangled his wife with a wire and then fatally severed her throat with scissors before fleeing the scene. However, he was apprehended by the police on March 14th. According to Superintendent of Police (SP) Dehat Kamlesh Bahadur, Gulfam was captured near Fort Parikshitgarh village in Bahadarpur. The accused confessed that frequent arguments with his wife over their inability to conceive led him to seek guidance from a cleric. The cleric purportedly warned him of potential danger between them, fueling Gulfam's belief that his wife posed a threat to his life, prompting him to take drastic action. The brutal crime occurred while Mursleen was preparing tea for Gulfam on the morning of March 13th. After rendering her unconscious with a wire, Gulfam used scissors to slit her throat. Sanjay Dwivedi, in-charge of the Bhawanpur police station, confirmed the recovery of the scissors and filed a murder report against Gulfam and four others, with investigations ongoing into the involvement of the additional suspects. Gulfam, hailing from Abdullahpur, had been married to Mursleen, a resident of Muzaffarnagar's Kakrauli police station area, for eight years. Despite their lengthy marriage, the couple struggled with infertility. Mursleen had been staying with her parents for the past eighteen months. Recently, Gulfam and five family members convened a panchayat in Muzaffarnagar village, reaching an agreement to bring Mursleen back home. However, on the night of March 12th, a heated altercation between Gulfam and Mursleen ensued, resulting in a brutal assault on the latter. Initially suspected of being murdered in her sleep, Mursleen's body was discovered by children playing nearby the next morning. The Bhawanpur police initiated an investigation, contacting the victim's family and conducting a post-mortem examination. Mursleen's father, Hashim, filed a complaint implicating Gulfam, Niaz, Aslam, and two others in the heinous crime.

After failed BSP experiment in 2019, SP pins hope on Congress tie-up to stop BJP juggernaut in UP

After failed BSP experiment in 2019, SP pins hope on Congress tie-up to stop BJP juggernaut in UP The coming general election may throw some surprising results in Uttar Pradesh with the SP-BSP alliance now replaced by the SP-Congress pact under the INDIA bloc. The Samajwadi Party-Bahujan Samaj Party alliance in 2019 had offered some resistance to the BJP on a handful of seats in the western and eastern parts of UP, but failed to make a big impact. With BSP supremo Mayawati deciding to duke it out alone this time, it will be up to the SP and Congress to stop the marauding juggernaut of the NDA, which has now has RLD on its side, as well as a number of caste-based regional parties in the Poorvanchal region. In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP and allies won 73 out of 80 Lok Sabha seats in the state. The party ceded some ground in the 2019 general election, when the opposition parties scraped their combined tally to 16. Even with the conventional anti-incumbency apprehensions at work, the saffron party laid its claim on the state winning 62 seats, bolstered further by two more won by its ally Apna Dal (Sonelal). In 2019, the maximum seats -- 23 -- for the BJP came from the state's western part, where the SP-BSP alliance could manage to win only four seats each. The BSP won Saharanpur, Bijnor, Amroha and Nagina (SC seat) in the western UP, while the Samajwadi Party emerged victorious in Sambhal, Moradabad, Mainpuri (first held by Mulayam Singh Yadav then by Dimple Yadav in a bypoll) and Rampur that year. The central region of the state has prominent parliamentary constituencies of Amethi and Rae Bareli -- both long considered bastions of the Congress. In 2019, former Congress president Sonia Gandhi retained her Rae Bareli seat, while her son Rahul Gandhi lost the long held Amethi constituency to Union minister Smriti Irani. Defence minister Rajnath Singh won from Lucknow. The BSP won only one seat from this region in Ritesh Pandey, who bagged Ambedkarnagar Lok Sabha constituency. The SP scored a zilch. The BJP won 13 seats from the region, which includes the coveted Faizabad Lok Sabha seat, the epicentre of a Hindu reverie that drowned parts of the nation in a collective religious fervour after the Ram Temple consecration. Varanasi, represented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha, is one of the 30 seats in the eastern part of the state. From this region, the BSP won five seats, while the SP won one, Azamgarh. Apna Dal (Sonelal) won two seats from here. The Bundelkhand region was swept in 2019 by the BJP, which won all four Lok Sabha seats of Jhansi, Banda, Hamirpur, and Jalaun-SC. The parched Bundelkhand region has been seeing the start of some irrigation projects and its residents getting safe drinking water. Expressways, new airports in different parts of the UP have narrowed the regional disparity the state has witnessed for a long time.
