After SC orders fresh polls, oppn seeks Patiala mayors resignation, civic bodys dissolution
The Supreme Court has ordered new elections in 50 municipal wards across Punjab. This decision follows a report detailing significant obstruction during the nomination process.

The local body elections originally occurred on December 21, 2024.
SCs repoll order in 50 wards puts Punjab govt on the spot: BJP
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 8 (IANS) Former Punjab Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Ashwani Sharma on Thursday said the Supreme Court's decision to cancel and order fresh elections in 50 Municipal Corporation and Municipal Council wards in Patiala and Moga districts had raised serious questions about the functioning of the state Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government. He said the decision had also exposed the government's alleged high-handedness during the local body elections. In a statement issued here, Sharma said the Supreme Court-appointed fact-finding committee's report highlighted serious irregularities during the nomination process, including preventing candidates from filing nominations, snatching, tearing, or destroying nomination papers, and threatening candidates. The committee found irregularities in the election process in 28 wards of Patiala, all 15 wards of Baghapurana and seven wards of Dharamkot in Moga district. Following this, the Supreme Court ordered fresh elections in these wards within six weeks. Sharma said that in a democracy, elections are not merely about casting votes but also about ensuring a level playing field and equal opportunity for every candidate. He alleged that the AAP government misused its power to suppress the voices of Opposition candidates. He said the Supreme Court's decision to constitute a monitoring committee headed by a retired High Court judge and order videography of the entire process, from nomination to polling, made it clear that the electoral process required close supervision. The BJP leader said the people of Punjab would not tolerate any compromise with democracy or with the conduct of free and fair elections. Meanwhile, state BJP president Kewal Singh Dhillon, in a separate statement, said that the moment the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) began investigating alleged corruption in the AAP government, the Delhi-based gang suddenly started claiming that Punjab's federal structure was under threat. He said the government's argument before the Supreme Court that fabricated cases were being raised because of the Punjab Assembly elections was proof that the AAP was merely seeking political excuses to evade accountability. Dhillon said AAP leaders had been claiming in the media that the CBI investigation amounted to interference in the federal structure. This government initially made these arguments in the media to mislead the people and is now repeating the same hollow arguments before the Supreme Court, he said.
Dismiss poll commissioner after SC sets aside elections in Punjab, demands Akali Dal
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Oct 8 (IANS) The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Thursday urged Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria to dismiss State Election Commissioner Raj Kamal Chaudhari following the Supreme Court's observations that the December 2024 nomination process and subsequent municipal elections were severely affected by violence, intimidation and obstruction. SAD leader Daljit Singh Cheema also demanded that responsibility be fixed on all officials who allegedly assisted the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in manipulating the municipal elections and called for exemplary action against them. Giving details, Cheema said a court-appointed fact-finding commission headed by former Punjab and Haryana High Court judge Justice Nirmaljit Kaur had confirmed that Opposition candidates were physically assaulted, prevented from filing nominations, or subjected to forced withdrawals and bogus voting. He alleged that Raj Kamal Chaudhari had ignored complaints regarding the alleged misuse of civil and police machinery during the elections. Now it has been proven beyond doubt that the State Election Commissioner murdered grassroots democracy under his watch. He does not have any right to remain in office, Cheema said. Welcoming the Supreme Court's decision, Cheema said the apex court's appointment of a monitoring committee headed by a retired judge to supervise re-elections in 28 wards in Patiala, all 15 wards in Baghapurana and seven wards in Dharamkot reflected a lack of confidence in the State Election Commissioner's ability to conduct free and fair elections. The SAD leader also criticised Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann over the registration of cases against farmers accused of burning paddy stubble. He said the Chief Minister had earlier stated that no action would be taken against such farmers and that they would receive Rs 1,500 per acre to manage stubble. Cheema alleged that surveillance drones were now being used to identify stubble-burning incidents and cases were being registered against farmers. Seeking clarification from the Chief Minister, Cheema said farmers wanted to know whether any notification had been issued regarding the promised Rs 1,500 per acre compensation and when the amount would be released. He alleged that the AAP government had failed to provide farmers with either adequate machinery for stubble management or compensation.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 8 (IANS) The current political situation in the country reflects a battle between two ideologies, said Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia on Thursday, while accusing the Opposition of resorting to baseless and unfounded charges for creating an atmosphere of anarchy in the country. Addressing a press conference at the party HQ, Gaurav Bhatia said that the Oppositions claims of democracy under threat and constitutional bodies being weakened were outright lies. He said that the opposition parties were trying to create an atmosphere of anarchy with baseless and fictitious claims. Yesterday, every citizen felt proud. Prime Minister Narendra Modi -- in a span of 25 years -- has always respected the Constitution and worked for the welfare of people while espousing the core Constitutional values -- both as the Chief Minister and then as the Prime Minister. This has been a source of inspiration for everyone, he stated. But the Opposition has repeatedly been engaging in an anarchist strategy. Their only allegation is that democracy is being murdered, but what is the basis of this? he asked. Baseless allegations are being levelled by irresponsible, anarchist Opposition. Their claims of destroying the Constitution have no base, have no iota of evidence, he said. Further, turning the tables on the INDIA bloc, the BJP spokesperson accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab of murdering democracy and cited the Supreme Courts searing observations on the repolling for Municipal elections. He said that the Supreme Court ordered repolling in 50 wards, where Municipal elections were held recently, because of widespread violations, including intimidation of candidates and forced prevention of their nominations. He said that despite scathing observations from the Supreme Court, all the Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, Akhilesh Yadav, Mamata Banerjee and others, have remained tight-lipped about the grave violations in the poll process. Sharing scathing observations of the Supreme Court, he said the Kejriwal-led party, which came with the swaraj slogan, has turned into goonda raj, and added that it was on the intervention of the Apex Court that the municipal elections held in 50 wards, in Patiala and Moga districts, were declared invalid. Candidates were not allowed to fill nomination forms. The forms were torn down, and the candidates were detained, beaten and intimidated by the goons of the ruling party, he said. He said that the municipal elections were vitiated due to coercive withdrawal of nominations and systematic prevention of candidates from filing nominations. This is the real murder of democracy, he remarked.
Delhi CM slams Arvind Kejriwal for hollow promise to check stubble burning in Punjab
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS) Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday hit out at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal for betraying Punjab farmers and not offering any solution to stubble burning that adds to air pollution in north India during winter. Taking to his official X account, the Delhi Chief Minister shared a video of stubble burning in Punjab's Tarn Taran and reminded Kejriwal of his promise to resolved the problem that adds to air pollution in the National Capital Region (NCR). She accused Kejriwal, a former Delhi Chief Minister himself, of lack of intent and willpower to find a collective solution with Punjab farmers, despite the Centre providing resources for the purpose. In her message on X, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said, Kejriwal ji had said, give me one year, and I'll stop the burning of stubble in Punjab. Years passed by. Farmers kept waiting for help, and the 'AAP'da government, instead of freeing them from the compulsion to burn stubble, just left them to fend for themselves. Stubble burning has started again in Tarn Taran. The Central government provided funds, gave machines, offered subsidies, yet Bhagwant Mann ji and Kejriwal ji's 'AAP'da government couldn't even manage arrangements on the ground, she added. Resources were fully provided, but intent, willpower, and accountability all three have failed. The people of Delhi have rejected Kejriwal ji. Is he now venting the frustration of that crushing defeat on the people of Delhi? CM Gupta asked. Highlighting that efforts are being made in the NCR to curb air pollution, the Delhi CM said, We are working day and night to roll out new solutions on the ground to clean up Delhi's air. Meanwhile, in Punjab, the fire from stubble burning has exposed the 'AAP'da government's true colours. No preparation, no solutions. Just false promises and betrayal of the farmers. Earlier, the Commission for Air Quality Management in NCR and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) has deployed of flying squads in 18 districts across Punjab to monitor stubble burning, a statement said. The deployment, from October 1 to November 30, has been structured in successive phases, with flying squads assigned to respective districts for different deployment periods to ensure sustained field-level monitoring throughout the paddy harvesting season 2026, it added. The deployment of flying squads in Punjab covers key paddy-producing districts, including Sangrur, Tarn Taran, Firozpur, Muktsar, Bathinda, Amritsar, Moga, Mansa, Fazilka, Patiala, Ludhiana, Kapurthala, Faridkot, Barnala, Malerkotla, Gurdaspur, Jalandhar and Fatehgarh Sahib, it said. The teams will coordinate with farmers, Parali Protection Force, district-level authorities, state government nodal officers, officers of the respective State Pollution Control Boards, the CAQM Cell at SAS Nagar and the Commission, the statement said.
Delhi Court grants regular bail to Swatantra Bhardwaj in CJP protest assault case

Delhi court grants regular bail to influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj in assault case
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 6 (IANS) The Patiala House Court has granted regular bail to self-styled influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj, who was arrested in connection with the alleged assault of the father of a minor activist during a protest at Jantar Mantar. The court had earlier, on September 15, granted Bhardwaj three weeks interim bail with conditions while considering his regular bail plea. Bhardwaj is accused of assaulting Sanjay Kumar, father of a minor protester, during a demonstration at Jantar Mantar in July. The Delhi Police had earlier said that the injuries sustained by the complainant were simple in nature and were allegedly caused by a steel bracelet. The FIR invokes relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and provisions relating to criminal intimidation. During the hearing of Bhardwajs bail plea in September, the Patiala House Court had questioned the Delhi Police on whether he had used caste-indicative words during the alleged incident. The prosecution had submitted that the initial complaint did not mention the use of any such language and that the allegation was made subsequently when the complainants statement was recorded again, following which provisions of the SC/ST Act were added to the FIR. Bhardwaj was detained in Uttar Pradeshs Bulandshahr district on September 4, hours after representatives of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) met senior Delhi Police officials and demanded his arrest. The Delhi High Court had earlier dismissed a habeas corpus petition filed by Bhardwaj challenging his arrest in the alleged assault case. A Bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Ravinder Dudeja had rejected the plea after the Delhi Police submitted that it was not maintainable as Bhardwaj had already been sent to judicial custody. The case had sparked controversy following a purported viral video in which Bhardwaj claimed that he had physically assaulted the father of the minor activist during the Jantar Mantar demonstration and allegedly said that he was let off because of his political connections. Bhardwaj later told the media that he had allegedly acted in self-defence. A separate FIR was also registered against Bhardwaj under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act on the complaint of the minor activist, who alleged online rape threats and harassment.
A Delhi court, while granting bail to students arrested during a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, made several observations supporting the police version of the incident, noting that the allegations against the accused were serious and that assault on police personnel could not be justified in the name of peaceful protest. Judicial Magistrate First Class Animesh Kumar of Patiala House Courts observed that every person has a right to protest peacefully; however, assaulting police officials on duty is a serious concern which cannot be permitted under the garb of peaceful protest. The court specifically took note of the prosecution

The accused has been on the run since the incident, and a dozen police teams are currently searching for him across five states. According to police sources, a reward of Rs 50000 has been announced on him, as the search for Varun Kumar is underway in Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi. Teams are conducting raids at his possible hideouts and locations linked to his relatives. Family members in Patiala and other places have already been questioned. Technical teams are actively analysing the accuseds mobile and digital footprints to track his movements. Police have also examined CCTV footage of the routes he took after the crime. Investigation so far indicates that after the incident, Varun reached Bhopal railway station and boarded a train heading towards Delhi. Preliminary police investigations have revealed that the accused, Varun, is originally from Gwalior. He obtained the documents using his elder sister's address, who lives in Patiala, Punjab. Police are now coordinating with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh Police to intensify efforts to arrest the accused. With the help of the cyber cell, the accused's mobile phone's IMEI number and tower location are being analysed to trace his movements. Separate teams have been deployed to gather information about his possible contacts and potential hideouts. Retired IAS officer Rakesh Agarwal was murdered on Wednesday morning at his residence in Surajnagar, Bhopal. His body was found lying on the floor of a room, with sharp-weapon injuries visible on the neck. Locks of the almirahs in the house were found broken. In the kitchen, the pipe of an LPG cylinder had been disconnected, filling the entire house with gas, suggesting an attempt to set the house on fire after the murder. Police said the investigation is progressing on multiple fronts, with teams continuing to comb through digital evidence and physical locations linked to the absconding caretaker. Further details are expected as the multi-state search intensifies, and technical analysis yields more leads.

One says there should be no religious conversions, another says they have come to work for Punjabs betterment, someone says they will eradicate drugs, another says they will make Punjab Rangla, and someone else says they will turn Punjab into Paris, he said. Jasbir then made his message clear, saying, yaaaar Punjab nuu Punjab rehan doo Apna kamm karo jaaake Tuanu koi problem hoyee taan dassyo. Yaar, just let Punjab remain Punjab. Go and do your own work.

Akal Takht acting Jathedar meets death-row convict Rajoana in Patiala jail
Digital Desk | Patiala, Sep 29 (IANS) Akal Takht Acting Jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargajj and Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) President Harjinder Singh Dhami on Tuesday met death-row convict Balwant Singh Rajoana at the Central Jail in Punjabs Patiala city. The meeting is understood to have focused on issues concerning Rajoana, particularly his mercy petition pending with the Union government and the broader issue of Sikh prisoners lodged in different jails. Quoting Rajoana, Dhami told the media after the meeting, I am in high spirits, and I accept martyrdom over humiliation. Rajoana was awarded the death sentence for his role in the 1995 assassination of former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh. His mercy petition, seeking commutation of the death sentence to life imprisonment, has been pending with the Centre since 2012. The petition under Article 72 of the Constitution was moved by the SGPC in March 2012. This month, Rajoana wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking an early decision on his mercy petition against the death sentence. The SGPC has repeatedly urged the Union government to take a decision on the petition, maintaining that the prolonged delay has caused distress to Rajoana. In May 2025, Dhami had met Rajoana in the Patiala jail and criticised the Centre for not deciding his mercy plea. He had also said that Rajoana wanted the SGPC to withdraw its petition and press for an immediate decision. The meeting comes amid continued efforts by Sikh religious bodies to pursue the cases of Sikh prisoners, popularly referred to as Bandi Singhs. In a letter dated September 16, Rajoana said he had spent the past 30 years in prison and questioned why the Centre had not taken a decision on his plea. Referring to the notification issued in 2019 on the occasion of the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev, he said it had not been implemented till date.

Absconding since 2023, dismissed Punjab Police officer arrested in Patiala
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 24 (IANS) Dismissed Punjab Police Assistant Inspector General (AIG) Raj Jit Singh, who had been absconding since April 2023 in cases linked to alleged drug trafficking, extortion and corruption, was arrested on Thursday in Patiala city, officials said. Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav confirmed to the media that Jit Singh was apprehended by a team of the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) in Patiala following a technical and financial investigation. Police are expected to seek his remand for investigation in the cases registered against him. His arrest came days after his counsel told the Supreme Court that he was willing to give himself up. The apex court subsequently directed him to surrender before the authorities concerned and adjourned his plea, challenging a July 2026 order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, for hearing on October 1. Jit Singh faces multiple cases, including an ANTF case relating to allegations of a police-drug trafficker nexus and extortion, another case under the Prevention of Corruption Act, and a Vigilance Bureau case concerning alleged disproportionate assets. He had been declared a proclaimed offender after failing to appear before the court. The allegations against him are linked to investigations into dismissed Punjab Police Inspector Inderjit Singh and the handling of drug-related cases during their postings. Singh was dismissed from service in 2023 following proceedings based on reports of the Special Investigation Teams constituted pursuant to Punjab and Haryana High Court orders. The investigations had also examined the failure of more than 50 NDPS samples during the period when Jit Singh was posted as Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in Tarn Taran and Inderjit Singh was serving in the district police. Jit Singh has challenged the proceedings and has sought transfer of the investigation to another agency, contending that he would not receive a fair probe from the Punjab Police. His legal challenge is pending before the Supreme Court. However, the apex court has granted him liberty to file an appropriate application after surrender. Raj Jit Singh abused his official position to shield the drug peddlers/ smugglers from the clutches of law, implicated innocent persons in false drug cases and also managed to scuttle the investigations in the FIRs registered against Inderjit Singh, said a government order.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 21 (IANS) A Delhi court on Monday extended the judicial custody of six accused, including building owners son Mahesh Gupta, his parents, PG operators Sudhanshu and Shubham Tyagi, and labour contractor Sanoj, by 14 days in connection with the Satya Niketan building collapse case that claimed seven lives. The accused were produced before the Patiala House Court after their earlier judicial custody expired. The court extended their judicial custody for another 14 days as the investigation into the circumstances leading to the collapse continues. The five-storey building, known as Hostel Daze, was being operated as a boys paying guest accommodation in South Delhis Satya Niketan area, near Delhi Universitys South Campus. It collapsed at around 1.30 p.m. on September 6, leaving seven people dead. Delhi Police arrested building owner Urmila, 75, her 81-year-old retired husband Hariram, and their 52-year-old son Mahesh Gupta in connection with the case. During questioning, Mahesh told investigators he used to manage the building's maintenance on behalf of his parents. The property was leased to PG operators Shubham Tyagi and Sudhanshu in August 2025, after which they operated it as a paying guest accommodation under the name Hostel Daze. Meanwhile, Delhi Police arrested labour contractor Sanoj, who was overseeing repair work in the basement, in Kasganj, Uttar Pradesh. According to the police, initial questioning of Sanoj revealed that repair work was underway in the basement, where waste had been accumulating during the rainy season for the past eight to 10 days. The police said the ground floor was also being repaired for a commercial extension. The police have been examining the role of the property owners, PG operators, and people involved in the building's repair and construction work. The collapse has also led to action by civic authorities, with several MCD officials suspended in connection with the incident. The Delhi High Court is separately hearing petitions concerning the safety of PG accommodations in the national capital following the tragedy.

Delhi HC grants 30-day custody bail to ISIS case accused for surgery
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 18 (IANS) The Delhi High Court has granted 30-day custody bail to an accused in an alleged ISIS conspiracy case to undergo surgery and medical treatment at a private hospital of his choice in Delhi-NCR. A Division Bench of Justice Prathiba M. Singh and Justice Vikas Mahajan passed the order while dealing with an appeal filed by Farhan Ansar Suse, challenging an order of the Special NIA Court at Patiala House Courts which had rejected his interim bail plea on medical grounds. The High Court said that Suse, who is required to undergo surgery for an umbilical hernia, eing medically unwell, cannot be prevented from undergoing treatment at a private hospital at his own expense. However, it declined his request to undergo treatment in Bombay, observing that it was not feasible at this stage in view of the network which the Appellant is alleged to have in Padgha and the neighbouring areas in Maharashtra. The Justice Singh-led Bench permitted him to undergo treatment at any private hospital of his choice in Delhi-NCR while remaining in custody. Suse is currently facing trial in an NIA case arising out of a 2023 FIR registered under Sections 120B and 387 of the IPC and Sections 13, 18, 18A, 20, 38 and 39 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). According to the NIA, the chargesheet was filed in March 2024, followed by a supplementary chargesheet in June 2024. The anti-terror agency has claimed that Suse, along with other accused, was part of a conspiracy linked to ISIS and was involved in raising funds for the terror outfit through extortion and circulating its messages. The trial is presently at the stage of arguments on charge. Suse's counsel, senior advocate Satyakam, submitted that the main allegation against his client was extortion and that the alleged ISIS connection was yet to be established during trial. He also highlighted that there were more than 500 witnesses in the case and that Suse had already spent two years and nine months in custody. The NIA opposed the plea, alleging that Suse was an active member of ISIS in India and one of the prime conspirators in the network allegedly operated by co-accused Saquib Nachan, who has since died. The probe agency also submitted that Suse was already receiving proper medical treatment in Delhi and that he had changed his stand during the proceedings. In its order, the Delhi High Court recorded that Suse is suffering from umbilical hernia, bronchial asthma and Type-II diabetes and that doctors at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital had suggested surgery. It directed that the expenses of treatment at the private hospital would be borne by Suse and that he could be accompanied by two immediate family members -- his spouse or any of his children -- during his hospitalisation. It also prohibited him from communicating or meeting any other relatives, friends or acquaintances and from communicating, directly or indirectly, with any person named in the chargesheet. The Justice Singh-led Bench made it clear that once the 30-day custody bail period expires, Suse would be shifted back to jail. It further said that if he is declared fit by the treating doctor before the expiry of the period, he would be shifted back to jail immediately, while any extension would depend on medical advice. The order clarified that its observations would not have any bearing on other proceedings, including Suse's pending appeal concerning the pardon he has sought and the writ petition challenging his arrest.
Punjab BJP to launch four anti-drug marches across state today
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 18 (IANS) To bring the issue of drug abuse into sharper focus in Punjab ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, with the ruling Aam Aadmi Party and Opposition parties trading accusations over the government's handling of the issue, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will launch four statewide marches against drug abuse in the state from Friday. The marches will cover all 117 Assembly constituencies before culminating in a rally later this month, which will be addressed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatras will begin from four locations between September 18 and 21 and collectively cover about 4,000 km, according to the Punjab BJP. BJP national President Nitin Nabin will flag off the first march from Ekta Sthal at Madhopur in Pathankot district on Friday. The march will pass through constituencies in Pathankot, Gurdaspur, Amritsar, Tarn Taran, Ferozepur, Kapurthala and Jalandhar before reaching its destination. The second yatra will begin on September 19 from Fatehgarh Sahib and will be flagged off by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta after she pays obeisance at Gurdwara Sri Jyoti Saroop Sahib, Punjab BJP general secretary and yatra in-charge Rajesh Bagha said. It will travel through parts of Ludhiana, Fatehgarh Sahib, Mohali, Ropar, Hoshiarpur, Nawanshahr and Phagwara before concluding in Jalandhar. The third yatra will start on September 20 from the Sadiki border in Fazilka, near the Asafwala 1971 War Memorial, with Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal scheduled to flag it off. It will cover constituencies in Fazilka, Muktsar, Bathinda, Faridkot, Moga, Ludhiana and Malerkotla. The fourth march will begin on September 21 from Gurdwara Sri Damdama Sahib in Talwandi Sabo. Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini will flag it off. That route will cover Bathinda, Mansa, Barnala, Sangrur and Patiala districts before heading towards Jalandhar. All four yatras are scheduled to converge in Jalandhar on September 30, when the BJP will hold a public rally addressed by HM Shah. The BJP has described the campaign as an effort to build public awareness against drug abuse. Party leaders have also raised concerns about law and order and corruption in Punjab as part of their wider political messaging.
Delhi court orders FIR against journalist Karishma Aziz over alleged posts targeting Hindu beliefs
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 17 (IANS) A Delhi court on Thursday directed the Cyber Police Station to register an FIR against journalist Karishma Aziz over alleged derogatory social media posts concerning Hindu religious figures and historical personalities, as well as alleged content tending to create communal disharmony. Chief Judicial Magistrate Mridul Gupta of the Patiala House Courts passed the order while allowing an application filed by advocate Amita Sachdeva under Section 175(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), seeking registration of an FIR and investigation. The complainant alleged that several posts uploaded from an account on social media platform X contained remarks insulting Hindu religious beliefs and figures, including a Hindu saint, Lord Ram, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and freedom fighter Veer Savarkar. She also alleged that some social media posts contained derogatory remarks concerning Prime Minister Narendra Modi and promoted 'anti-India' sentiments. According to the complaint, the posts were made between February and April 2025 and included videos and other content which, the complainant alleged, mocked Hindu religious and historical figures and sought to create communal discord. In its order, the court recorded that the complainant had placed on record screenshots, transcripts and links pertaining to various posts and video uploads allegedly made through the social media account. The allegations are not confined to an isolated statement. Rather, the complaint refers to a series of posts published over a period of time which, according to the complainant, contain derogatory remarks against Hindu religious beliefs, revered religious figures, historical personalities associated with the Hindu community and expressions tending to create communal disharmony, the court said. The South Saket Cyber Police Station had earlier filed a status report saying that the posts contained obscenity and material directly targeting Hinduism, besides being in the nature of political or historical commentary, criticism and satire. The police had also said that, after an enquiry, no evidence of a deliberate attempt to incite communal disharmony was found. However, the court said the issue at the present stage was not to conclusively determine the truthfulness of the allegations or the culpability of the accused. Whether the impugned posts ultimately constitute protected political commentary, satire, criticism or historical opinion, or whether they cross the threshold of criminality under the provisions invoked by the complainant, is a matter requiring investigation, it added. The court also relied on the Supreme Court's judgment in Amish Devgan vs Union of India, saying that while freedom of speech is constitutionally protected, expressions intended to promote disharmony or made with deliberate and malicious intent to outrage religious feelings may attract penal consequences, depending on the context. The court said that investigation was required to collect and preserve electronic evidence, including material relating to the authorship and operation of the social media account, the uploaded videos and posts, their dissemination and other electronic records. The Court is satisfied that the complaint discloses commission of cognisable offences requiring investigation. It is made clear that no opinion is being expressed on the merits of the allegations, at this stage, the order said. Allowing the application under Section 175(3) of BNSS, the court directed the Cyber Police Station in New Delhi to register an FIR on the basis of the complaint and undertake investigation in accordance with law. It directed the concerned police station to file a compliance report within one week. The complainant has sought registration of an FIR for offences under Sections 196, 299 and 353 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

Delhi court grants three-week interim bail to influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) The Patiala House Court on Tuesday granted three weeks interim bail to self-styled influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj, who is in judicial custody in connection with the alleged assault of the father of a minor activist during a protest at Jantar Mantar. Additional Sessions Judge Saurabh Pratap Singh Laler of the Patiala House Court passed the order granting Bhardwaj interim relief. The development comes a day after the court had reserved its order on Bhardwajs regular bail plea. During the hearing on Monday, the court had questioned the Delhi Police on whether Bhardwaj had used caste-indicative words at the time of the alleged incident. The prosecution had submitted that the initial complaint did not mention the use of any such language and that the allegation was made subsequently when the complainants statement was recorded again, following which provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act were added to the FIR. Bhardwajs counsel had sought bail, while the prosecution opposed the plea. Bhardwaj is accused of assaulting Sanjay Kumar, father of a minor protester, during a demonstration at Jantar Mantar in July. The police had earlier said that the injuries sustained by the victim were simple in nature and were allegedly caused by a steel bracelet. The FIR invokes relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and provisions relating to criminal intimidation. The development comes days after the Patiala House Court had declined an out-of-turn hearing on Bhardwajs bail plea and listed it for September 14. Bhardwaj was held in Uttar Pradeshs Bulandshahr district on September 4, hours after representatives of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) met senior Delhi Police officials and demanded his arrest. The Delhi High Court had earlier dismissed a habeas corpus petition filed by Bhardwaj challenging his arrest in the alleged assault case. A Bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Ravinder Dudeja rejected the petition after the Delhi Police submitted that it was not maintainable as Bhardwaj had already been sent to judicial custody. The CJP had also demanded the invocation of an attempt-to-murder charge, with the police stating that the provision would be considered after obtaining an expert medical opinion. A separate FIR was also registered against Bhardwaj under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act on the complaint of the minor activist, who alleged online rape threats and harassment. The controversy erupted after a purported viral video in which Bhardwaj allegedly claimed that he had physically assaulted the father of the minor activist during the Jantar Mantar demonstration and allegedly said that he was let off because of his political connections. Bhardwaj later told the media that he had allegedly acted in self-defence. Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party-Ram Vilas (LJP-RV) chief Chirag Paswan had said that his name was misused by Bhardwaj in the purported video. Paswan had said that he filed an official complaint against Bhardwaj and would ensure justice for the minor victim and her family.

People in Punjab want development, employment, not jokes: Haryana CM
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 13 (IANS) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday slammed the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab, saying the people there want development, employment, security for industries and solutions to their problems, not jokes, publicity and advertisements. There has never been any shortage of ability or hard work among the people of Punjab, but the policies, intentions and leadership of governments that have failed to provide the state with the right direction have pushed Punjab behind in the race for development, he said. CM Saini was addressing a public meeting in Kakrala village in Patiala. Former Union minister Preneet Kaur, Prof Malkit Singh and other dignitaries were present on the occasion. On the occasion, hundreds of people joined the BJP, and the Chief Minister welcomed them. CM Saini said that although Punjab and Haryana are two separate states, their roots, culture and heritage are one. Paying homage to this great land of Gurus, Pirs and martyrs, he said the people of Punjab are now asking why Punjab has fallen behind despite having fertile land, hardworking people and immense potential. The Chief Minister said at one time, Punjab was counted among the most prosperous states in the country. Haryana, which came into existence nearly 19 years after Punjab was formed, today has moved far ahead of Punjab in terms of economic progress. In 2025-26, Haryanas real economic growth rate is estimated at 9.5 per cent, while Punjabs growth rate is only 6.1 per cent. Thus, Haryana is progressing 3.4 percentage points faster than Punjab. Similarly, in 2026-27, Haryanas economy is estimated at approximately Rs 15.18 lakh crore, while Punjabs is estimated at approximately Rs 9.81 lakh crore. There is a difference of approximately Rs 5.38 lakh crore in the economic size of the two states. This difference is due to the right policy, clear intent and accountable leadership, said CM Saini. He said in 2023-24 Haryanas share in the countrys GDP was approximately 3.6 per cent, while Punjabs share was approximately 2.4 per cent. Haryanas per capita income was estimated at 176.8 per cent of the national average, while Punjabs was estimated at 106.7 per cent. The Chief Minister said at one time, Punjabs per capita income used to be nearly twice the national average, but the situation has changed today. He said the people of Punjab wanted an answer as to why the states economic potential is not being fully utilised. The Chief Minister said the Aam Aadmi Party government has given Punjab more publicity than work and more advertisements than results. Repeating false claims does not strengthen an economy. An economy becomes strong when industries receive security, youth get employment, traders have confidence, farmers receive remunerative prices, and the benefits of government schemes reach people directly without discrimination, he said. The CM said, It is the governments responsibility to go among the people, listen to their problems and resolve them. Jokes work in cinema halls, but among the people, the discussion is about work, development and solutions to public problems. He said the Congress had also made big promises to the people of Punjab but failed to fulfil them. The Aam Aadmi Party also made numerous promises, but they remained merely promises, and people did not get relief from their problems. The Chief Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP government in Haryana has been working to fulfil the promises made to the people. Out of the 217 promises made during the 2024 Assembly elections, 70 have already been fulfilled within 18 months of the governments tenure.

Satya Niketan collapse: Absconding accused surrenders before Delhi court
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) Advocate Shubham Tyagi, who had been evading arrest in connection with the Satya Niketan building collapse case, surrendered before the Patiala House Court on Friday, a day after the court dismissed his anticipatory bail plea. The Delhi Police has sought two days' custodial interrogation of Tyagi and co-accused Sudhanshu Lovenish Kumar, who is associated with the operation of the paying-guest (PG) facility at the building. The development comes after Additional Sessions Judge Saurabh Partap Singh Laler of the Patiala House Court rejected Tyagi's anticipatory bail plea on Thursday, saying that material collected during the investigation prima facie contradicted his claim that he was merely an investor in the PG business. The court had recorded that a separate rent agreement showed Tyagi as a co-lessee of the second and third floors of Building number 14 at Satya Niketan Market in Moti Bagh-II, where the boys' PG was being operated. The building collapse on September 6 had claimed seven lives, including five students and two labourers, while several others sustained injuries. The FIR was registered at South Campus Police Station under Sections 105, 290 and 125(a) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), initially against unknown accused. The investigation subsequently led to the arrest of building owners Urmila Gupta, Hari Ram Gupta and Mahesh Gupta alias Sanjay, contractor Sanoj and PG operator Sudhanshu Lovenish Kumar. Tyagi had claimed before the court that he was an advocate practising at Patiala House Courts, had no criminal antecedents and was only an investor in the PG business run by his friend Lovenish Kumar. He had contended that he was neither the owner of the building nor had any control or decision-making authority over its structure. However, the prosecution produced a rent agreement dated September 6, 2025, executed between building owner Urmila Gupta and Tyagi for the second and third floors of the building. The court said that the agreement was executed on the same day as another rent agreement relied upon by Tyagi, contained substantially identical terms and was attested by the same notary. It also noted that Tyagi had signed Lovenish Kumar's agreement as a witness and Lovenish Kumar had similarly signed Tyagi's agreement. The court had also relied on the statement of injured PG occupant Nitish Chib, who said that he had taken accommodation from Tyagi and Lovenish Kumar and was paying Rs 14,500 per month. According to the statement, construction work had been underway in the basement for around 10 to 12 days before the collapse, while iron rods were also being cut on the ground floor. The students had objected to the construction noise, following which Tyagi and Lovenish Kumar told them that renovation work was underway and that the PG would be extended to the basement. The court had said that the statements were relevant at the anticipatory bail stage to examine Tyagi's claim that he had no knowledge of the construction activity and was merely involved financially. However, the court had clarified that it was not recording any final finding on whether the offence under Section 105 of the BNS, relating to culpable homicide not amounting to murder, was ultimately made out against Tyagi. It had also said that the investigation was at a nascent stage and that aspects, including the extent of the partnership between Tyagi and Lovenish Kumar, the flow of rent collected from students and their knowledge or consent regarding the structural work required further investigation. The Satya Niketan collapse had also prompted proceedings before the Delhi High Court over alleged regulatory and municipal lapses, with the High Court directing inspections of PG accommodations amid concerns over the safety of such establishments in the national capital. With Tyagi's surrender, the police are now seeking his custodial interrogation along with that of Lovenish Kumar as part of the ongoing investigation.

'Influencer' Swatantra Bhardwaj moves Patiala House court for bail, urgent hearing refused
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) A Delhi court on Thursday declined an out-of-turn hearing on a bail plea filed by self-styled influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj, who is in judicial custody in connection with the alleged assault of the father of a minor activist during a protest at Jantar Mantar. Bhardwajs counsel had sought an immediate hearing on the bail application before the District Judge. However, the Patiala House court declined to entertain the plea for an out-of-turn hearing and said the bail application would be taken up on September 14. The development comes days after the Delhi High Court dismissed a habeas corpus petition filed by Bhardwaj challenging his arrest in the alleged assault case. A bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Ravinder Dudeja had rejected the habeas corpus plea after the Delhi Police submitted that it was not maintainable as Bhardwaj had already been sent to judicial custody. On Monday, the Patiala House Court sent Bhardwaj to 14 days of judicial custody, with his next production scheduled for September 21. Bhardwaj was detained in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr district on Friday, hours after representatives of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) met senior Delhi Police officials and demanded his arrest. According to the Delhi Police, Bhardwaj is accused of assaulting Sanjay Kumar, father of a minor protester, during a CJP-led demonstration at Jantar Mantar in July. The police had earlier said that the victims injuries were simple in nature and were caused by a steel bracelet. It later added provisions of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and criminal intimidation to the FIR. The CJP had also demanded invocation of an attempt-to-murder charge, with the police stating that the provision would be considered after obtaining an expert medical opinion. A separate FIR was also registered against Bhardwaj under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act on the complaint of the minor activist, who alleged online rape threats and harassment. The case also invokes relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology Act. The controversy erupted after a purported viral video in which Bhardwaj allegedly claimed that he had physically assaulted the father of a minor activist during the Jantar Mantar demonstration and allegedly said that he was let off because of his political connections. Bhardwaj later told the media that he had allegedly acted in self-defence. Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party-Ram Vilas (LJP-RV) chief Chirag Paswan had said that his name was misused by Bhardwaj in the purported video. Paswan had said that he filed an official complaint against Bhardwaj and would ensure justice for the minor victim and her family. The CJP had staged a protest outside the Parliament Street Police Station demanding action against Bhardwaj and seeking the addition of attempt-to-murder, criminal intimidation and SC/ST Act provisions to the case.
Jodhpur High Court building case: 7 arrested, 1 detained after SIT probe into construction defects
Digital Desk | Jodhpur, Sep 9 (IANS) Jodhpur Police have arrested seven people and detained an eighth in connection with an investigation into alleged irregularities and serious construction defects in the new Rajasthan High Court building in Jodhpur. Police Commissioner Anshuman Bhomia outlined the investigation and arrests at a Press conference. According to police, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) found the roles of the construction company, firms and individuals associated with the fire-safety system, and officials responsible for supervising the project to be suspicious. Construction of the new High Court building began in 2011 and the structure was handed over in 2019, according to the police. Various defects were reported after the handover, including the collapse of false ceilings, a fire in Courtroom No. 2, cracks in the central dome and damage to pillars. Several institutions, including IIT Jodhpur, IIT Bombay and PTMES, subsequently conducted audits and surveys to assess the condition of the building. Following the findings, police constituted an SIT to conduct a detailed investigation. Samples were collected from the building and sent for forensic examination, while expert opinions were also sought. Police said the investigation raised questions about the role of companies supplying construction materials, agencies involved in executing the work, and individuals responsible for installing the fire-safety system. The role of officials of the Rajasthan State Road Development and Construction Corporation (RSRDC), who were responsible for overseeing and supervising the project, also came under scrutiny. According to the Police Commissioner, the investigation found evidence pointing to alleged criminal breach of trust involving officials. Police formed 12 special teams and four cyber teams to trace the suspects. Raids were conducted at multiple locations in Rajasthan, including Jodhpur, Jaipur, Kota, Bundi and Ajmer, as well as in Alwar, Delhi-NCR, Gurugram, Noida, Patiala and Kapurthala in Punjab, and Haridwar in Uttarakhand. Police said Varendra Garg, owner of VCL Group/Varendra Construction Company, the primary construction firm associated with the project, was detained in Haridwar late on Monday night. According to police, Garg had been changing locations to evade arrest. He was traced with the help of technical surveillance and coordination with police in other states. Jodhpur Police had announced a reward of 50,000 for information leading to his arrest. Police said eight individuals have been located in connection with the case. Seven have been arrested, while the process of arresting the eighth suspect was underway. Those arrested include Jitendra Sharma, then Assistant Engineer with RSRDC; Naveen Rai, then Project Manager with RSRDC; Rameshwar Dayal and Gopal Lal, who were associated with the installation of the fire-safety system; Deepak Mittal, formerly with RSRDC and currently an Executive Engineer in Jaipur; and Ajay Kishan Mutha, then Assistant Engineer with RSRDC. Police said the arrested accused have been taken on remand and are being questioned. Investigators said further action could follow if the enquiry establishes the involvement of additional individuals, officials or companies.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 9 (IANS) Mahesh, the son of the landlord arrested in connection with the building collapse in South Delhi's Satya Niketan, will be produced before the Patiala House Court on Wednesday, following the conclusion of his police custody. The court had remanded him to two days of police custody on Monday. The police said that during questioning, Mahesh told interrogators that he used to manage the maintenance of the building on behalf of his parents -- owner Urmila, 75, and her retired husband Hariram, 81. They had given the building on lease to the PG Operators 'Hostel Daze' in August 2025. Meanwhile, Urmila and Hariram were sent to 14 days of judicial custody on Tuesday. Additionally, a labour contractor who was overseeing repairs in the ill-fated PG building's basement was arrested by Delhi Police in Kasganj in Uttar Pradesh, an official said on Tuesday. Labour contractor Sanoj was apprehended in Kasganj and is being brought to Delhi for examination, the police said. Initial questioning of Sanoj revealed that on the day of the building collapse, the basement floor was being repaired as the waste was getting accumulated during the rainy season for the past eight to 10 days, said the police, adding that the Ground Floor of the building was being repaired for extension for commercial purposes. The five-storey building, known as 'Hostel Daze', was operating as a boys' PG, and several students were staying there when the incident took place around 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, in which seven people were killed, the police said. Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Tuesday that the civic agency will demolish a dilapidated building next to the site of the ill-fated paying guest (PG) building that collapsed in Satya Niketan, killing seven people two days ago. Sharing information about the plan to pull down the unsafe structure, the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) on social media platform X on Tuesday said, On the instructions of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has been directed to demolish the dilapidated building adjoining the accident site in the interest of public safety.

BJP criticises Punjab government over continuing drug menace in state
Digital Desk | Chandigarh, Sep 8 (IANS) BJP leader Amit Malviya on Tuesday criticised the Punjab government over the state's continuing drug menace, amid fresh political outrage following the death of a Sangrur man who had publicly raised the issue of easy availability of heroin before state Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema. The incident has once again brought the drug crisis to the centre of the political discourse, with Opposition parties questioning the effectiveness of the Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann-led government's much-publicised anti-drug campaign. Gulzar Singh, a resident of Sangrur district, had allegedly consumed poison after claiming that he faced pressure following his public questioning of Cheema over the prevalence of chitta in his village. His death has triggered a political storm, with the Opposition accusing the government of failing to address the concerns of families affected by drug addiction. Malviya said the incident exposed the grim reality behind the government's claims of waging a successful war against drugs in Punjab. He accused the Mann government of prioritising publicity over tackling the supply and distribution network responsible for pushing narcotics among the youth. The BJP leader's attack comes at a time when the Punjab and Haryana High Court has described drug addiction as a serious challenge for the state. The AAP government, however, has maintained that its 'Yudh Nashean Virudh' campaign has led to major action against drug smugglers and the dismantling of drug networks. The AAP government has also repeatedly accused the Centre of failing to check cross-border smuggling of narcotics and weapons through drones from Pakistan. Gulzar Singh, a resident of Toor Banjara village in the Dirba constituency, reportedly questioned AAP Minister Harpal Singh Cheema during his visit about the unchecked sale of chitta, saying that his own son was battling addiction and had sold off the familys belongings, Malviya wrote on X. He alleged, What followed, was pressure and harassment by local AAP-linked village leaders, who demanded that Gulzar Singh apologise for questioning the minister. He refused. In a video recorded before consuming poison, Gulzar Singh held four people responsible for his plight, including Harpal Cheema and local village leaders. He later died despite treatment. This is deeply disturbing. A government that cannot tolerate questions on the drug menace and intimidates a citizen for raising them, has a serious case to answer. Punjab deserves accountability, not intimidation, claimed Malviya. Meanwhile, the police have registered a case of abetment to suicide and harassment against a sarpanch and two others relating to the death of the Sangrur man. Deputy Inspector General (Patiala Range), Kuldeep Singh Chahal, told the media that the body would be handed over to the family after the postmortem. However, the police have denied allegations of harassment and said they are investigating the matter. Meanwhile, Punjab Polices drive against drugs 'Yudh Nashian Virudh' entered the 554th day with 62 drug smugglers arrested on Monday and recovery of 306 grams heroin and 190 intoxicant pills from their possession. With this, the number of total drug smugglers arrested has reached 77,421 in just 554 days. As part of de-addiction drive, Punjab Police have convinced five people to undergo de-addiction and rehabilitation treatment, the government said.

Asian Games: SAI's 'container simulator' readies athletes for unusual stay
The beds are a little over six feet long, the walls are close, and there is little room for anything beyond the essentials. For some of India's athletes, however, spending a night inside a shipping container at the Netaji Subhas National Institute of Sports (NSNIS) here is less about discomfort and more about preparation for an unusual living arrangement awaiting them in Japan at the Asian Games.
