Raja Mishra is a student leader at a college in Sonbhadra, a small town in Uttar Pradesh. He lives in a village located on the outskirts of the city. In the same village lives Geeta, a young girl staying with her aunt, who is deeply in love with Raja. However, Raja considers Geeta only a friend. On the other hand, Kayanat, a Muslim girl from Aligarh, comes to Sonbhadra for a short period to conduct fossil research for her PhD. During her stay, she meets Raja, and the two soon develop a close friendship. To avoid social complications, Raja introduces Kayanat to the villagers under a Hindu name, Manika, and lets her stay at his home for some time. Gradually, their friendship turns into love. After completing her PhD, Kayanat returns to her home in Aligarh, where her marriage to Ekram is arranged. Even before the wedding takes place, Ekram learns about Raja and Kayanats relationship. Consumed by anger and jealousy, he attempts to kill Raja. Although Raja survives the attack, he slips into a coma.

UP: Two cars gutted in fire at Indirapuram residential building
Digital Desk | Ghaziabad, Oct 13 (IANS) Two cars were completely gutted, and another was partially damaged after a fire broke out in the stilt parking area of a multi-storey residential building in Gyankhand I, Indirapuram, in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad district on Tuesday. No casualties were reported in the incident. According to the fire department, information about the blaze at Plot No. 154 in Gyankhand I was received around 4.25 a.m. Fire engines were immediately dispatched from the Vaishali Fire Station to bring the situation under control. Given the severity of the fire, three motor fire engines and one water bowser were deployed at the site. Firefighters launched an operation to extinguish the flames and prevent the fire from spreading to other parked vehicles and the residential flats above. However, the fire brigade personnel faced difficulties reaching the spot due to decorations installed in the area for a Jagran event, along with other vehicles obstructing access. The firefighters removed the decorations and cleared the way for the fire engines before beginning the firefighting operation. Two cars were completely destroyed in the blaze. Another car parked nearby sustained partial damage. The prompt response of the fire brigade personnel helped prevent the flames from spreading further. Other vehicles parked in the stilt parking area and the flats on the upper floors of the four-storey building were also protected from the fire. The incident caused concern among residents of the building, although no injuries or casualties were reported. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. Officials are investigating the incident to establish the circumstances that led to the blaze. Separately, two men trapped inside the mangled cabin of a pickup after it crashed into a parked truck near Masuri on National Highway-9 early on Monday were rescued by fire department personnel, police said. Both had sustained injuries and were admitted to a hospital.

'Misusing democracy': Bengal Minister attacks Cong over INDIA bloc protest
Digital Desk | Newtown, Oct 13 (IANS) West Bengal Minister Dilip Ghosh on Tuesday slammed the Opposition, saying that its leaders claim democracy has ended in the country while repeatedly criticising the government, the Supreme Court, the Prime Minister and the Home Minister. He further said that they are misusing democracy. Speaking to reporters, Ghosh said, They (the Opposition) claim that democracy has ended in the country, and every day they hurl abuses at the government, the Supreme Court, the Prime Minister and the Home Minister. They even went to the Supreme Court seeking a resolution, which the public is witnessing. Misusing democracy in this manner is something only the Congress party does, and they will face the consequences for it. Ghosh also criticised Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav over his remarks on restrictions on protests in Delhi and said that it is because of democracy that you are able to make such statements. It is because of democracy that you are able to make such statements and take to the streets to protest. The people you are associating with were the ones who imposed the Emergency. Remember what happened to your father and the leaders of that time. So, stop making such unnecessary remarks. The public is watching. The Uttar Pradesh elections are approaching, so prepare well. People may give you another chance, but otherwise, you could face the same fate that Mamata Banerjee faced in West Bengal, Ghosh said. His remarks came a day after Yadav criticised the Delhi Police's decision to remove Jantar Mantar from the list of designated protest sites, describing it as the 'biggest defeat' for the BJP government. Yadav suggested that protesters should be allowed to demonstrate on Lok Kalyan Marg, where the Prime Minister's residence is located. He also said people should be thankful that they had not been directed to an 'underground' location to protest, alleging that the BJP and its associates held secret meetings at such places. Meanwhile, Ghosh expressed confidence that no genuine voter would be removed during the ongoing electoral process. He said the scrutiny of voter names should be expedited and the eligibility of those under review clarified. No genuine voter's name will be removed. The Supreme Court has also stated this, and the process is underway. I feel we need to act a little faster and clarify the names that are still under scrutiny. The names of those who are eligible voters should be included, while those who are not eligible should be removed. That will happen too. Those who are indulging in excessive politics over this can do whatever they want, he said. Commenting on former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's planned protest, Ghosh described it as an old political practice and claimed that her party had lost public support. For 15 years, the people gave her an opportunity, and she did whatever she wanted, wrecking Bengal. Now see what we are doing. Bringing in outsiders to make them voters and getting them to vote, this kind of politics will no longer run in the country, he said. The Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress faction has planned a protest march in Kolkata on Tuesday against the Centre and the Election Commission, a day after staging a demonstration in New Delhi. The march, organised by the party's student and youth wings, is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. from Rajabazar and proceed towards Park Circus. It remained unclear whether Banerjee would participate and whether the party had obtained police permission for the rally.

5000 water bodies in Kolkata illegally filled up for real estate promotion by Mamata: Bengal CM
Digital Desk | Kolkata. Oct 12 (IANS) Around 5,000 water bodies in and around Kolkata were illegally filled up for real estate promotion during the previous Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress regime in West Bengal, claimed Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Monday. He made this allegation while speaking at a function organised by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) on Monday and accused a section of the Trinamool Congress councillors of the now dismantled KMC board of being behind this menace. These councillors were square feet councillors. They were responsible for illegally filling up around 5,000 water bodies in several pockets under the Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority from Joka and Haridebpur in the southern outskirts of Kolkata to Barasat, and Madhyamgram on the northern outskirts of the city during the previous regime. These square feet councillors have done everything that needed to be done to destroy the environment of Kolkata, he said. Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister was in praise of Agnimitra Paul, the state municipal affairs & urban development minister and fashion-designer-turned politician. She is very active. Just as she works from her office, she also hits the streets for field inspections. The people who have done nothing troll her on social media. I have advised her to totally ignore them, the Chief Minister said. Meanwhile, in another back-to-back program, where the Chief Minister handed over appointment letters to 12,000 police constables both in West Bengal Police and Kolkata Police, the Chief Minister said that there will be 9,000 additional recruitments in the police department soon. The police-to-public ratio in Uttar Pradesh is 200 cops for every one lakh of population. I promise that soon West Bengal will surpass Uttar Pradesh both in terms of police personnel and the police-to-public ratio, the Chief Minister said. Speaking on the occasion, he claimed that during the previous regime the police stations in the state were civic-volunteer centric. I do not blame the civic volunteers. They were recruited by the previous administration without following the basic recruitment procedure and without checking their eligibility. No training was arranged for them. They were also exploited, he said. On handing over the appointment letters to 12,000 police constables, CM Adhikari said that these recruitments in the police department were stuck midway because of the flawed Other Backwards Classes (OBC) policy of the previous ruling dispensation. Now we have corrected those flaws, cleared the appointment process, and appointment letters have been handed over to the successful candidates. More will be done in the coming days, the Chief Minister said.
