The book that may become bigger than the story!
The Sonia Gandhi memoir Belonging controversy is intriguing precisely because the facts are still misty. Reports say Penguin Random House India wanted changes to references to Narendra Modi, the RSS and Chinese intrusions, while the publisher itself says that editorial discussions are normal and that it remained willing and keen to publish. When a memoir becomes a political document, the battle is no longer merely over words. It is over who gets to tell the story, who gets to edit it and, ultimately, who gets to decide what the reader should know.

MLA Budgam Aga Muntazir calls for united action against hate speech, hate crimes
New Delhi, Aug 29: A call for collective action to safeguard communal harmony and counter hate speech and hate crimes was made at an intellectual round table in an event organised by PUCL People's Union for Civil Liberties Delhi, with emphasis laid on Kashmir's long tradition of coexistence and the need for coordinated efforts by the government, civil society, religious leaders, educational institutions, media, and youth. Addressing the gathering of scholars, religious leaders, civil society members, media representatives, and participants, MLA Budgam said Kashmir's history was rooted in syncretic traditions and the values associated with Kashmiriyat, marked by shared cultural practices and coexistence among communities. Referring to the teachings of Lal Ded and Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Noorani, popularly known as Nund Rishi, he said Kashmir's spiritual and cultural heritage had historically promoted human values, tolerance, and communal harmony. If there is communal harmony, peace and compassion in Kashmir, it is because of the sacrifices and contributions of our religious leadership, especially the MMU leadership, including Aga Syed Hassan Mosavi, Grand Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam and Mirwaiz Molvi Umar Farooq and many more who have always carried forward the banner of compassion, tolerance and peaceful coexistence, said Aga Muntazir. The address also referred to historical accounts of Kashmir as a land where different religious communities lived together and recalled Mahatma Gandhi's remarks about Kashmir being a ray of hope during the communal violence surrounding Partition. Hate speech had emerged as a serious contemporary challenge, particularly because of its rapid spread through social media and other digital platforms. Inflammatory statements, misinformation, and provocative online content, it was said, could damage trust between communities and potentially contribute to violence, said Aga Muntazir. Hate crimes, Muntazir said, often followed prolonged attempts to dehumanise communities and therefore required timely intervention through legal action, public awareness, and responsible communication. Speaking in the context of Jammu and Kashmir, he said the region's experience of conflict had demonstrated the consequences of the breakdown of trust and the importance of rebuilding relationships between communities. Communal harmony in Jammu and Kashmir was reflected in the everyday lives of people from different faiths who shared public spaces, institutions and common aspirations, he said. Calling for strict and impartial enforcement of laws against hate speech and incitement, the speaker said action should be taken irrespective of the identity or affiliation of those responsible. The address also called for better coordination between police, district administrations and community leaders to identify and address early warning signs, including rumours and provocative content, before they escalate into violence. Emphasis was laid on strengthening education about Kashmir's shared history and promoting digital literacy among young people to help them identify misinformation and online manipulation. He also called for greater accountability from digital platforms, saying online spaces had increasingly become vehicles for the spread and amplification of divisive content. Scholars, academics and researchers were urged to counter propaganda through knowledge and documentation of the region's shared history, while religious leaders were asked to continue promoting the values of compassion and peaceful coexistence associated with their respective faiths, he said. Talking about media and its role, he urged the media persons to exercise responsibility while reporting sensitive issues, with emphasis on verification and avoiding the amplification of provocative content. Addressing young people, he called upon them to verify information before sharing it and to reject prejudice and suspicion. The round table concluded with a call for sustained efforts to challenge hate speech, ensure accountability for hate crimes and preserve the traditions of communal harmony and coexistence in Jammu and Kashmir and across the country.

J&K HC to hear on Monday plea seeking Crime Branch probe into minor's rape, death in Kishtwar
Jammu, Aug 29: The High Court of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh will hear on Monday a plea seeking a Crime Branch probe into the death of a 15-year-old tribal girl, who was allegedly sexual exploited by her school teacher. The petition was filed on behalf of the girl's father, a resident of Chatroo village in Kishtwar district, by senior advocate Deepika Pushkar Nath on Saturday. The matter has been listed for hearing on Monday, Nath told PTI. She said the plea seeks transfer of the investigation to the Crime Branch for an independent probe into the entire sequence of events proceeding the minor's death on August 20, including an alleged panchayat intervention and attempt to pressure her father for a compromise. Police have constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the incident and have so far arrested six persons, including the school headmaster, who is the main accused, a nurse, and a daily-wage sanitary worker posted at District Hospital Kishtwar. The government has suspended the teacher, while the daily-wage worker has been dismissed from service. We have sought an independent investigation not only into the alleged rape of the minor but also into the entire chain of events that followed, leading to her death. The alleged Panchayat intervention, the pressure exerted on the victim's father to compromise the matter, and the role of other persons who may have facilitated or attempted to suppress the case require thorough investigation, Nath said. She said the alleged intervention of the panchayat is an important aspect requiring urgent scrutiny, particularly the allegations that the girl's impoverished and illiterate father was pressured to compromise the matter, offered money to remain silent and allegedly made to affix his thumb impression on a blank paper. These allegations cannot be treated as an isolated or incidental episode, particularly when they arose after the minor's pregnancy came to light, she said. According to the petition, after the pregnancy became known, people allegedly associated with the principal accused became involved and a panchayat was convened. The petitioner alleged that he was chastised and pressured to remain silent and accept a compromise, while money was allegedly offered in return. He stated that he rejected the proposed compromise and insisted that the accused and others be proceeded against in accordance with law. The petition further alleged that the father was subsequently made to put his thumb impression on a blank document under duress, without knowing what was written on or made out of it. The plea sought identification and examination of all persons present at the panchayat, the circumstances in which the document was prepared and the thumb impression obtained, and the alleged source and purpose of the money offered. The plea alleged that the girl was sexually exploited by the principal accused for months together resulting in her pregnancy. The family said they came to know of the pregnancy only when the minor developed a serious medical condition. The petition thereafter traces a series of events involving her examination at Public Health Centre at Chatroo, ultrasound at Kishtwar, treatment at District Hospital Kishtwar, transfer to Doda, delivery of a dead male child and subsequent transportation towards Punjab, culminating in her death. It sought investigation into the alleged attempts to terminate the pregnancy, the procurement and administration of medicines, the role of persons who transported or accompanied the minor, the treatment provided at different health facilities and the circumstances surrounding her death. Nath said the petition also seeks preservation and examination of hospital records, ultrasound reports, medical prescriptions, ambulance records, GPS/location data, CCTV footage, call-detail records, electronic communications, financial records and forensic/DNA evidence. It also seeks scrutiny of the alleged circumstances in which the minor was recorded in hospital records as the wife of a 13-year-old boy, and the identification of the person or persons responsible for furnishing such information. The petitioner has additionally sought examination of possible administrative, institutional or statutory lapses concerning the safety of the minor at the school and the handling and reporting of the matter after her pregnancy came to light.

Cybercrime Typhoon hits Kashmir as digital fraud surges
Srinagar, Aug 27: The smartphone that brings the world to the palm is also opening a new battlefield for crime, with cyber fraudsters increasingly turning Kashmirs expanding digital footprint into a hunting ground for deception, manipulation and financial theft. From fake calls and fraudulent links to bogus investment schemes, impersonation, fake customer-care numbers and social-media traps, cybercriminals are constantly changing their methods to stay ahead of unsuspecting victims. In an exclusive interview with Rising Kashmir, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP), Zonal Cyber Police Kashmir, Nasir Kirmani said the rapid growth of the internet and social-media usage has brought a corresponding surge in cybercrime, describing the emerging threat as a cybercrime typhoon that requires greater public awareness and quicker reporting. Kirmani said elderly people and youth are particularly vulnerable, although scammers use different approaches to target the two groups. Elderly victims can be exploited through impersonation and fear-based calls, while young people are frequently exposed to fraudulent investment opportunities, fake employment offers, online shopping scams, gaming-related fraud and social-media schemes, he said. The fraudsters, he said, increasingly rely on psychological manipulation rather than sophisticated hacking alone. A caller may pose as a police officer, bank employee, government official or customer-care executive and create a sense of urgency, convincing the victim that immediate action is necessary, he said. In other cases, victims are promised easy money through part-time jobs, investments or online trading. A small initial return may even be paid to establish credibility before the fraudsters persuade the victim to invest larger amounts, Kirmani said. The Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre has also warned about fraudulent investment platforms in which scammers use mule bank accounts to receive victims money, sometimes making initial payouts to gain trust before cutting off communication. One of the most worrying components of the cybercrime ecosystem is the growing use of mule accounts. These are bank accounts or other financial channels used to receive, transfer or layer proceeds of crime. Account holders may knowingly participate for commissions, while some can be recruited through seemingly legitimate offers of easy earnings, Kirmani said. Once money is stolen, it can be moved rapidly through a chain of accounts, making the trail increasingly difficult to follow. The faster the money moves, the harder it becomes to intercept. Cybercriminal networks are also exploiting social-media accounts themselves. An I4C advisory has warned about scams in which people are offered commissions for linking their WhatsApp accounts through QR codes, after which the accounts can be effectively rented out and abused for phishing, payment fraud and other illegal activities. Kirmani stressed that time is the most valuable weapon available to a cyber-fraud victim. He said the golden hour immediately after a fraudulent transaction is crucial, as swift reporting can enable the cyber police and financial institutions to trace the transaction and initiate efforts to freeze the money before it is transferred through multiple layers. The national cybercrime system specifically advises victims of financial cyber fraud to call 1930 immediately, with the helpline available round the clock. The official cybercrime portal also allows victims to register complaints and provides facilities to report suspicious mobile numbers, bank accounts, UPI IDs, websites, social-media handles and other identifiers linked to suspected cybercrime. The range of frauds is widening by the day. Digital arrest scams use fear of police action or arrest to force victims into transferring money. Fake investment platforms promise extraordinary returns. Job scams demand registration or processing fees. Phishing links harvest banking credentials. Fake customer-care numbers lure people into sharing sensitive information. QR-code and UPI scams exploit digital payment habits, while account-takeover schemes can give criminals access to victims social-media networks. That is precisely why awareness remains the first line of defence. Kirmani urged people never to share OTPs, PINs, passwords, banking credentials or other sensitive information with unknown callers. Any demand involving money, account suspension, arrest, investment or urgent verification should be independently checked through an official channel. For victims, however, the most important message remains simple: do not wait and do not feel embarrassed. Dial 1930 immediately. A cyber fraud may begin with nothing more than a phone ringing in a quiet room, a message appearing on a screen or a link arriving on WhatsApp. But behind that seemingly ordinary interaction could be a sophisticated network waiting to exploit a moment of trust. And once money leaves the account, every passing minute matters.
