Thiruvananthapuram police show soft side to SFI workers accused of serious crimes
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The state polices motto may be Mridhu Bhave Dhrida Kruthye, which means soft in temperament and firm in action, yet the force seems to getting used to forgetting the second part of the Sanskrit phrase when it comes to acting against SFI activists accused of serious crimes. Under fire for its languid response to the assault of a disabled student by SFI members of University College , city police have again come under the scanner for their failure to nab five activists who attacked a student from Lakshadweep on Saturday morning in the aftermath of the previous incident. Muhammed Fayaz Khan of Kavaratti was attacked inside the University College mens hostel in Palayam for allegedly coming to the aid of Muhammed Anas, a differently abled student, who was attacked by SFI members on December 2. Anas was allegedly attacked for refusing to tie an SFI flag to a tree within the campus. A native of Konniyoor, Anas, a second-year degree student, was hit on the head with an iron rod and stomped on his weaker leg. Following the incident, police registered cases against Amal Chand, Midhun, Alan Jamal, and Vidhu Uday -- all leaders of the CPM students wing -- under non-bailable sections. However, officers failed to arrest the culprits even after the additional chief judicial magistrate court rejected their anticipatory bail plea. The accused have now approached the High Court and police said they are awaiting the courts order before planning their next move. Meanwhile, Museum police claimed that those named in the Fayaz case have gone into hiding. Fayaz sustained injuries to his ear and arms after SFI members barged into his hostel room and attacked him. Officers claimed to have conducted searches at the homes of the accused, but to no avail. A Museum police source said they would arrest the culprits within this week. We are working hard on the case and the accused would be arrested soon, the source said. The Lakshadweep native belongs to the scheduled caste, which led to the invocation of the SC, ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Despite this, police have reportedly been lethargic in tracking down the accused, precipitating criticism that it was slow-pedalling on the probe under political pressure. Ironically, both victims are also affiliated to the SFI.

Shah: Northeast police must shift focus to ensure speedy justice
Agartala: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said the time has come for a change in approach of the police force with the end of insurgency in the northeast, in order to ensure that people get speedy justice. Shah, addressing the 72nd plenary of the North Eastern Council (NEC) here, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has brought peace in the region by inking 20 peace accords in 10 years, leading to the surrender of 9,000 armed militants. The police fought insurgency in the northeast for the past four decades. As insurgency has now ended, we need to change the approach of the force to ensure people get justice within three years of lodging FIRs, he said. The home minister also said connectivity is no longer a problem in the region, as the Centre has spent Rs 81,000 crore for rail connectivity and Rs 41,000 crore for road network in the northeastern states. Asserting that PM Modi expedited development activities in the northeast, Shah said Union ministers spent 700 nights in states of the region since the BJP-led NDA assumed power at the Centre. After the exchange of enclaves (land boundary agreements) with Bangladesh, the whole world will open for the northeast. This will change the investment ecosystem in the region, he said. The senior BJP leader also laid emphasis on the upliftment of people in rural areas by promoting vegetable cultivation, production of milk, eggs and meat. Only a hike in the GSDP (Gross State Domestic Product) is not enough for overall development. There is a need to attain self-sufficiency in vegetables, milk, eggs and meat, he said. Besides, the central government has been focusing on organic cultivation in the region, said Shah. The Centre has already constituted the National Organic Corporation Ltd to boost the sector. I urge all the CMs (in the northeast) to sign agreements with NOCL for packaging, marketing and exporting of organic products, he said. The home minister, however, said more efforts were needed to tackle narcotics smuggling in the region. Earlier in the day, Shah inaugurated the 72nd plenary session of the North Eastern Council (NEC) at Prajna Bhavan here. Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, along with governors, chief ministers of all the eight northeastern states, and senior officials, were also present at the event. The council is the nodal agency for the economic and social development of the northeastern region, consisting of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura.

Red Fort Attack of 2000: A Look Back at Terrorism and Justice 24 Years Later
The Red Fort attack of 2000 remains a significant and tragic chapter in India's history. On December 22, 2000, six terrorists, belonging to the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, stormed the iconic Red Fort in Delhi and began firing indiscriminately. This attack left three people dead, including two army soldiers, and marked a violent chapter in India's ongoing battle against terrorism. Now, 24 years later, the terrorist responsible, Mohammad Arif alias Ashfaq, faces the death penalty after a long legal journey. The Attack at Red Fort The attackers, led by Ashfaq, targeted the Red Fort, a symbol of India's heritage, on December 22, 2000. Their attack was brutal and resulted in the deaths of Rifleman Uma Shankar and Naik Ashok Kumar, both soldiers, as well as a civilian named Abdullah Thakur. While Uma Shankar was killed instantly, Naik Ashok Kumar succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. Arrest and Investigation Just days after the attack, on December 26, 2000, Ashfaq and his wife, Rehmana Yusuf, were arrested in Delhis Jamia Nagar area. The investigation quickly picked up pace, with the Delhi Police filing a charge sheet on February 20, 2001, naming Ashfaq and 21 other individuals as accused. However, some of the accused were declared fugitives, while others were killed during encounters. Only 11 of the 22 accused went to trial. Court Proceedings and Verdict The trial reached its climax on October 24, 2005, when the court convicted seven of the accused, including Ashfaq. He was sentenced to death, while his wife received a seven-year sentence. Several others, including Nazir Ahmed Qasid and Farooq Ahmed Qasid, were handed life sentences. Meanwhile, the remaining three convicts received prison terms of seven years. However, the legal battle didnt end there. The Delhi High Court reviewed the case, and in 2006, the High Court upheld Ashfaqs death sentence. The other six convicts were acquitted. In 2007, Ashfaqs death penalty was again affirmed by the Delhi High Court, and the remaining appeals were rejected. In 2011, the Supreme Court of India also upheld Ashfaqs death sentence, stating that the attack was an act of terrorism against India. They emphasized that Ashfaq, a foreign national who illegally entered India, had attacked Indian soldiers without justification, and thus, death was the only appropriate punishment. Ashfaqs Legal Journey Ashfaqs case took multiple turns over the years. In 2014, the Supreme Court stayed his death sentence, but in 2016, it agreed to hear a final review petition. After years of legal proceedings, on November 3, 2022, a bench of Chief Justice UU Lalit and Justice Bela Trivedi rejected Ashfaqs review petition, solidifying the decision for his execution. While the exact date for Ashfaqs hanging has not been decided, the long journey of legal appeals and court decisions brings the tragic events of the Red Fort attack closer to a conclusion, offering a sense of justice for the victims and their families.
