7 cops booked in Rajasthan's Bharatpur for assaulting minor refusing to pay Rs 10,000 per month
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 12 (IANS) A case has been registered against seven policemen in Rajasthan's Bharatpur following allegations that a 16-year-old boy was assaulted, threatened with a country-made pistol and allegedly framed in a false illegal-arms case after refusing to pay Rs 10,000 per month. The accused include five personnel associated with the District Special Team (DST), an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) posted at Mathura Gate police station, and another police officer. The case has been registered under relevant provisions of the law, including the POCSO Act, based on a complaint filed by the minor's aunt. According to the complaint, the minor was allegedly subjected to repeated demands for Rs 10,000 per month after he started a rental car business in Bharatpur. When the victim stopped making the alleged payments, the accused reportedly threatened to implicate him in a false case. The minor's aunt said in her complaint that the boy's father died shortly after his birth and that she subsequently brought him to Bharatpur, where she took responsibility for his education and upbringing. According to the complaint, the minor started a rental car business in Bharatpur in December last year. Shortly afterward, a DST Constable identified as Dashrath allegedly visited his office and demanded Rs 10,000 per month. The family alleges that, out of fear, the minor paid the amount for three consecutive months. The business was later shut down due to financial losses. However, according to the complaint, the alleged demand for money continued even after the business had closed. When the minor refused to pay, Constable Dashrath allegedly threatened to implicate him in a false criminal case. According to the complaint, the minor had travelled to Khatu Shyam Ji with friends on August 19. While returning to Bharatpur on August 21, his car reportedly developed a flat tyre at around 9 a.m. The minor allegedly stopped near a shop for tea when two DST personnel, identified in the complaint as Ankit and Manveer, arrived. They allegedly told him that Constable Dashrath had called him and took him away. The complaint alleges that Dashrath was present at the DST office, where the minor was allegedly assaulted with belts, kicks and punches. Constable Hariom is also accused of standing on the minor's legs during the alleged assault. The complaint also alleges that ASI Shivlal arrived at the DST office around 5 p.m. along with two other policemen. The minor was allegedly blindfolded and taken to an isolated location. According to the complaint, a country-made pistol, or katta, was taken from a bag and placed against the minor's leg. The policemen allegedly threatened to shoot him if he did not make a video statement according to their instructions. The complaint also alleges that the weapon was subsequently placed inside the minor's trousers before the personnel staged a search and recorded a video showing an alleged recovery of the pistol. Following the alleged recovery, an illegal-arms case was registered against the minor on August 21. After learning that the minor had been booked in the arms case, his family reportedly reached the police station and secured his bail. When the minor returned home, family members allegedly noticed severe injury marks on his body. They subsequently approached the court seeking action against the police personnel. Advocate Paramveer Sogarwal, representing the complainant side, said an application was filed before the court on August 26. The court subsequently summoned Mathura Gate police station Station House Officer (SHO) Harlal Meena and directed that an FIR be registered. Following the court's direction, an FIR was registered at Mathura Gate police station on Friday against seven policemen. Mathura Gate SHO Harlal Meena said the FIR was registered on the basis of a complaint submitted by the minor's aunt. The accused named in the case include Dashrath, Ankit, Satyveer, Hariom and Abhimanyu, along with Mathura Gate ASI Shivlal and another officer. The investigation has been entrusted to Hemendra Chaudhary, SHO of Atal Band police station. The allegations against the police personnel are subject to investigation. The exact circumstances surrounding the alleged assault, extortion demand and recovery of the country-made pistol will be established during the investigation.
Mathura labourer dies in college wall collapse, family protests with body
Digital Desk | Mathura, Sep 12 (IANS) Family members of a labourer who died during repair work at a college in Uttar Pradeshs Mathura staged a protest outside the institution on Saturday. While holding a dharna, they placed the body at the main gate and demanded compensation and action against those responsible. According to Mathura Police, several labourers were carrying out plastering work at the National Inter College in Govardhan around 11:30 a.m. The repair work was undertaken by the Mathura-Vrindavan Development Authority (MVDA). During the work, a wall above the college gate suddenly collapsed, injuring two labourers. They were identified as Lal Singh, a resident of Ading town under Govardhan police station, and Pankaj, a resident of Talfara village under Deeg police station in Rajasthan. Pankaj, who was seriously injured in the incident, was immediately referred to SN Medical College in Agra for treatment. However, he succumbed to his injuries during treatment. Following his death, the family staged a protest with his body at the colleges main gate, demanding compensation and action. Local resident Kailash told IANS that Pankajs family did not even have a house and depended on his daily wages for survival. Pankajs family has no home. He used to work as a daily-wage labourer to support his family. They live in a hut by the roadside. He leaves behind two children. The government should provide compensation and a job to support the family, Kailash said. Pankajs wife also appealed to the government for Rs 20 lakh in compensation, a job and a house. I live on the roadside, and after my husbands death, I have no one left to support me, she said. In a similar incident recently in Uttar Pradeshs Mainpuri district, 26-year-old Ashish Kumar, a resident of Nagla Kaith in the Kotwali area, was working as a painter along with other labourers at a house in Khargajit Nagar. While applying putty to a wall, Ashishs hand came into contact with a cut in an electrical cable, resulting in an electric shock that caused his death. The following day, Ashishs family members placed his body on Devi Bypass Road and blocked traffic. They refused to proceed with the cremation until the house owner was arrested. The City Circle Officer and the city Kotwal reached the spot and tried to pacify the protesting family members.

'One District, One Mafia' had become UP's identity before 2017, says CM Yogi
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 8 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said the situation in the state before 2017 was marked by poor law and order, widespread criminal activities, and the dominance of mafia elements, with 'One District, One Mafia' becoming its identity. Addressing the two-day 'UP Textile Conclave-2026', the Chief Minister welcomed entrepreneurs, investors, exporters, traditional weavers, handloom operators, industry representatives, and young people associated with the textile sector. First of all, I extend a heartfelt welcome and greetings to all the distinguished entrepreneurs, investors and exporters from the textile sector across the country, as well as traditional weavers, handloom operators, all the dignitaries and young friends who see their future in this sector, he said. Highlighting Uttar Pradesh's long-standing textile traditions, the Chief Minister said the state's textile heritage had historical links with India's cultural and economic development. He said that when gifts of clothing were presented by the King of Kashi at Yudhishthira's Rajasuya Yagya, ancient texts such as the Mahabharata made references to silk and pure cotton garments. Also referring to the period of Lord Ram's exile, he said religious scriptures mention Mata Janaki receiving divine garments at a sage's ashram. The textiles produced in India, particularly those made in Uttar Pradesh, were not only in demand in India but also in markets around the world, he said. If you look at Roman culture or Greek culture, there was a huge demand there as well for these textiles made in India and Uttar Pradesh. This means that the tradition of sending these products from here to other places existed even then, the Chief Minister said. He also highlighted several major textile and manufacturing centres across the state, including Varanasi's silk sarees, Bhadohi's carpets, Lucknow's chikankari, and Kanpur's textile, leather, and industrial manufacturing ecosystem. CM Adityanath also mentioned Agra's footwear and allied manufacturing sector, Sitapur's textile manufacturing capabilities, and Meerut's sports goods industry and the potential for technical textiles. These are not merely textile clusters of Uttar Pradesh. They represent different facets of Uttar Pradesh's textile heritage and industrial capabilities. These different facets visible across different regions draw our attention to the potential of the textile sector in Uttar Pradesh, he said. Recalling the situation in Uttar Pradesh before 2017, Adityanath claimed the state's law and order situation was in disarray and alleged that mafia groups had established parallel systems of governance in several districts. Friends, what the situation in Uttar Pradesh was like before 2017 is not hidden from anyone. Law and order in the state was in disarray, he said. In every district, a parallel government run by the mafia operated. In other words, 'One District, One Mafia' had become the identity of Uttar Pradesh. Across the state, the industries of murder, extortion, illegal occupation, goon tax, and kidnapping were flourishing. Professional mafias and goons operated their own system parallel to the government, he claimed. He further alleged that the prevailing environment had affected the safety of women, traders and potential investors. At that time, neither daughters were safe, nor traders were safe. Investors would come from outside with dreams of doing business and return with a slip of paper from the mafia demanding payment, Adityanath claimed. The Chief Minister also alleged that festivals and celebrations could not be conducted peacefully because of frequent disturbances and riots. No festival or celebration could be held peacefully. In other words, disturbances would begin before the festivities. Across the state, there would be a major riot every third day, with the entire state engulfed in the flames of riots. Major riots took place in Bareilly, Kosi Kalan in Mathura, Muzaffarnagar and Saharanpur on a large scale, he said. He said prolonged curfews and the closure of educational institutions and markets had a direct impact on economic activity. Curfews would remain in place for months. Schools and colleges would be closed. If there was a curfew, the markets would remain closed, and if the markets remained closed, business would inevitably come to a standstill. People could not even leave their homes. And when such a situation exists, the economy cannot move forward. A perception had taken hold, the Chief Minister said. He said Uttar Pradesh had also acquired a negative perception because of poor infrastructure and inadequate lighting in several areas. I always mention this point: before 2017, Uttar Pradesh had come to be perceived as a place where, once the roads became bad and darkness began as soon as evening arrived, you could assume that you had entered the borders of Uttar Pradesh. This was the situation in Uttar Pradesh before 2017, he said.
