Mayawati signals Akash Anand's possible return if father-in-law quits politics
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 9 (IANS) Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati has indicated that the party may reconsider restoring responsibilities to Akash Anand if his father-in-law and former BSP Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Siddharth gives up his political ambitions and completely retires from politics. She said Siddharth should rise above personal and family interests to enable Anand to work independently within the party. In a series of posts on X on Wednesday, Mayawati said the Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Punjab are approaching and hold special significance for the BSP and the broader Bahujan movement inspired by Dr B.R. Ambedkar's vision of transforming the Bahujan society from the oppressed to the ruling class. She said party workers, office-bearers, supporters and well-wishers are working with complete dedication and sacrifice to secure a strong electoral outcome in these states. She noted that the Bahujan community, the BSP, and the Ambedkarite movement are facing serious challenges from rival political parties and caste-based forces, particularly over issues such as reservation. She appealed for support from all sections of society and urged members of the Dalit community not to pursue personal or family interests that could hinder the movement's objectives. She warned that history would not forgive actions that obstruct the cause. Mayawati said the BSP leadership has been carefully evaluating the conduct and behaviour of individuals while deciding on their inclusion in the party. At the same time, disciplinary action has been taken against those who create obstacles in the party's path, citing Ashok Siddharth as a prominent example. According to Mayawati, Siddharth was given several opportunities to reform but continued to place his personal and family interests and political ambitions above the BSP's mission. She said the consequences of his actions were borne not only by him but also by his son-in-law, Akash Anand. She further alleged that Siddharth had not shown adequate concern for either Akash Anand's political future or the BSP movement. Given his position, she said, Siddharth should have set an example of sacrifice and commitment before the party and society, but the opposite had occurred. Mayawati said that, keeping in mind the interests of the party and the movement, as well as the future of his own family and Akash Anand, Siddharth still has an opportunity to renounce his political ambitions and retire completely from politics. She added that only then would Akash Anand be able to work freely within the party, and the BSP could sympathetically consider restoring his responsibilities. She said there is broad consensus within the party in favour of such a course of action.

Jharkhand woman found dead under suspicious circumstances, family alleges dowry murder
Digital Desk | Medininagar (Jharkhand), Sep 9 (IANS) A newlywed woman was found dead under suspicious circumstances in Jharkhand's Palamu district, with her family accusing her in-laws of murdering her and attempting to pass it off as a case of suicide. The deceased, identified as Vaishnavi Devi, was found hanging from a noose in a room at her matrimonial home near Redma Chowk in Medininagar under the Town police station limits late on Tuesday night. Vaishnavi, a resident of Uttar Pradesh's Sonbhadra district, had married Suraj Gupta, a resident of Medininagar, around 10 months ago. According to her family, she had been subjected to harassment over demands for additional dowry soon after the marriage. The incident came to light on Wednesday when members of the husband's family brought Vaishnavi to the Medinirai Medical College and Hospital (MMCH) in a critical condition. However, doctors at the hospital declared her dead. Her family has alleged that after her death was confirmed, the in-laws attempted to remove the body from the hospital quietly. However, alert personnel at the MMCH police outpost intervened and stopped them, following which information about the incident was conveyed to the woman's family. Relatives of the deceased arrived in Medininagar from the Audimod police station area of Sonbhadra district on Wednesday and levelled serious allegations against the in-laws. Vaishnavi's maternal uncle, Jitendra, claimed that she had been continuously harassed over dowry demands since her marriage. He said Vaishnavi had spoken normally with her mother over the phone at around 9 p.m. on Tuesday and had not mentioned any stress or dispute. A few hours later, however, the family was informed of her death, raising serious suspicions about the circumstances surrounding the incident. Police have taken custody of the body and sent it for post-mortem examination. Officials said a detailed investigation is underway based on the statements and allegations made by the woman's family.

'India's mindset changing', Riteshwar Maharaj praises 'Hanuman Ansh' amid Cong criticism
Digital Desk | Prayagraj, Sep 9 (IANS) Sadguru Riteshwar Ji Maharaj, head of Shri Anandam Dham, heaped praise on the film 'Hanuman Ansh', stating that admiration for such films inspired by life of revered spiritual guru Neem Karoli Baba was because of the change in India's cultural mindset over the recent years. He said that while funds he described as anti-national were earlier being used in Bollywood to weaken India's historical and religious heritage, the film industry is now increasingly producing content centred on the country's heroes, religion and culture. Speaking to IANS, Sahguru Riteshwar Maharaj said India's identity is rooted in Sanatan culture and argued that films and web series continue to have a strong influence on society, particularly on younger generations. India's culture is Sanatan culture. Unfortunately, anti-national money was previously being utilised in Hollywood and Bollywood. They were dismantling our culture -- destroying everything from our youth and historical memories to our religious heritage. In recent years, however, Bollywood has begun producing films centred on our heroes, our religion, and our culture. Films continue to influence people; both web series and movies have an impact, he said. Riteshwar Maharaj said the increasing participation of Sanatanis and nationalists in the entertainment sector could play an important role in strengthening cultural values among the younger generation. He also cited 'Hanuman Ansh' as an example of a film that, despite being made on a relatively small budget, has generated substantial earnings. 'Hanuman Ansh' is based on the life of a saint and Lord Hanuman. Despite being a low-budget production, it has also emerged as a source of substantial earnings, he noted. This means that India's mindset has now changed, he added. The spiritual leader further said that India was seeking to reconnect with its Sanatan roots while simultaneously embracing modern technologies and new-age fields. He said the younger generations, including Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha, want the country to combine technological advancement with the Sanatan Vedic tradition. According to him, bringing these apparently different spheres together could help India regain its position as a Vishwaguru. Riteshwar Maharaj said these developments were only early indications of a much larger transformation that could take place in the country. This came as Congress leader Rashid Alvi on Sunday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of using religion as a political tool to influence people's minds and secure votes, while also criticising the demolition of a mosque inside the Saharanpur Collectorate campus in Uttar Pradesh. About the spiritual film Hanuman Ansh, written and directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, Alvi alleged that films of this nature were being made as part of a broader attempt to influence people through religious sentiments and use faith for political gains. The film chronicles the life and teachings of Neem Karoli Baba, popularly known as Maharaj Ji. Responding to the criticism, Riteshwar Maharaj said that India's political system has historically been guided by the principles of Dharma and that religious values should remain above political interests. India is the land of Sanatan culture. Politics is born from Dharma (righteousness/religion). If Dharma is the mother, then politics is the daughter. If the seat of Dharma is placed below the political throne, the country's condition would mirror that of Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Afghanistan, he said. Our country has always placed the religious throne above the political throne, with the latter operating under the former's guidance. In such a scenario, everyone lives happily, free from depression, and the nation remains united, Riteshwar Maharaj said. Talking about Alvi, he said, I do not follow his statements; I have only heard about it from you. But one's statements reflect one's mindset. Anyone who carries the spirit of India and Sanatan within them can never oppose truth, Dharma, and love, he said. India's culture should continue to progress in this manner. It is the opposition's role to engage in rhetoric and speak against the government; such things are expected in a democracy, he added. Riteshwar Maharaj also said that the government should distinguish between criticism made merely for political rhetoric and concerns that genuinely involve public interest. If allegations were being raised simply for the sake of criticism, the government should not allow such statements to distract it from its work, he said, adding, however, whenever an issue appeared to involve public interest, the government should put aside ego and be willing to acknowledge the concern with humility and take corrective action, he remarked.

Delhi building collapse: PG operator arrested, police probe lease agreement
A PG operator has been arrested in connection with the collapse of a five-storey building in Delhi's Satya Niketan that left seven people dead, as police are probing the role of the leaseholders of the building on lease and the construction and repair work carried out there, sources said on Wednesday. Sudhanshu, one of the two business partners running the 'Hostel Daze' PG, was arrested during the investigation and is being questioned by police, sources said. Police sources said the building owner Mahesh had leased the property to Sudhanshu and his business partner Shubham Tyagi in August 2025. The duo subsequently started operating the premises as a paying guest accommodation under the name 'Hostel Daze'. Tyagi is currently absconding and efforts are underway to trace him, the sources said. A labour contractor, Sanoj, has already been apprehended in connection with the case.

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 9 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Minister, O.P. Rajbhar, on Wednesday launched a sharp attack on Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, urging the Kannauj MP to rein in what he described as his Yadav, or 'Ahir', and Muslim, or 'Zahir', supporters, while referring to the kidnapping of a trader in Jhansi and the arrest of a suspected cow slaughter accused following a police encounter in Hapur. Rajbhar's remarks came after two separate incidents were reported in the state. In Jhansi, a government schoolteacher, Ravi Yadav, and his associate, Vinay Yadav, abducted a snacks trader, identified as Vikas Kumar Gupta, following a minor argument on September 6. The police arrested the two accused within seven hours of the incident. In another case, two suspected cattle smugglers, identified as Bilal and Zaheer, were arrested in Uttar Pradesh's Hapur district following a late-night encounter with the police on September 8. According to the police, the two arrested men are repeat offenders and have around 24 criminal cases registered against them across Hapur and neighbouring Amroha districts. The cases include allegations related to cow slaughter, theft, violations under the Arms Act and offences registered under the Gangster Act. The police also said that the accused confessed to their involvement in recent incidents of cattle slaughter in forests located in the local area. Reacting to both incidents, Rajbhar took to X and said, Control your 'Ahir' and 'Zahir', Maharaj. They're causing way too much trouble. Not only are they harming society, but they'll end up finishing you off too. Just look at yesterday's incident. In Jhansi, your 'Ahir', who's a government teacher, kidnapped a businessman from the Bania community. Though Baba's police have caught him. Meanwhile, in Hapur, your 'Zahir' was arrested after an encounter in a cow slaughter case, Rajbhar said in his post. The minister also alleged that some criminals were wearing blue outfits similar to the uniform associated with the Rashtriya Suheldev Sena and challenged Akhilesh Yadav to ensure that such individuals were disciplined and prevented from engaging in criminal activities. Those criminals you've dressed in blue outfits, copying the uniform of the Rashtriya Suheldev Sena, teach them the same kind of discipline as that Suheldev Sena too. If you can't teach them that, at least make them swear, while sitting in AC and playing PC, not to commit crimes, Rajbhar said. Otherwise, your 'Ahir and Zahir' won't even let you win 27 seats in 2027, he added. Rajbhar's remarks came against the backdrop of heightened political activity in Uttar Pradesh ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections.

Satya Niketan tragedy: Delhi Police arrests PG operator; MCD's demolition work begins
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 9 (IANS) The Delhi Police on Wednesday arrested PG operator Sudhanshu in connection with the building collapse in South Delhis Satya Niketan, that claimed seven lives. The police also took labour contractor Sanoj and Mahesh, son of landlord Hariram Gupta, from the RK Puram Police Station for a medical examination in connection with the case. Further examination is underway, and details will be shared in due course, police sources said. According to Delhi Police sources, during his police remand, Mahesh told investigators that the building was leased to two business partners, Shubham Tyagi and Sudhanshu, in August 2025. The two subsequently operated the property as a Paying Guest (PG) accommodation under the name Hostel Daze. The MCD has also initiated action against the building adjoining the one that collapsed in Satya Niketan on September 6. It was declared 'dangerous' after the hostel building collapsed. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta had said on Tuesday that the civic agency would demolish a dilapidated building located next to the site of the ill-fated PG accommodation in Satya Niketan. Mahesh, who was arrested in connection with the building collapse, is scheduled to be produced before the Patiala House Court on Wednesday following the completion of his police custody. The court had remanded him to two days of police custody on Monday. Police said that during questioning, Mahesh told investigators that he used to manage the maintenance of the building on behalf of his parents, Urmila, 75, and her retired husband, Hariram, 81. The couple had leased the building to the operators of Hostel Daze in August 2025. Urmila and Hariram were sent to 14 days of judicial custody on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Delhi Police had arrested labour contractor Sanoj, who was allegedly overseeing repair work in the basement of the ill-fated PG building. Sanoj was apprehended in Kasganj, Uttar Pradesh, and was being brought to Delhi for further examination, an official said. During his initial questioning, Sanoj allegedly told investigators that repair work was underway in the basement on the day the building collapsed. Police said waste had been accumulating on the basement floor for the previous eight to 10 days due to the rainy season. The police further said that repair work was being carried out on the ground floor to facilitate an extension for commercial purposes. The five-storey building, known as Hostel Daze, was operating as a boys PG, with several students staying there when the structure collapsed at around 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. Seven people were killed in the incident, police said. Following the tragedy, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has intensified action against unauthorised construction in the national Capital. On Monday, the civic body demolished seven properties, sealed two structures and issued 26 show-cause notices for unauthorised construction. It also issued four notices for sealing and 12 demolition orders.
