Chaos erupts in Kolkata's SRFTI as right-wing group procession turns violent

Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 4 (IANS) Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) was in turmoil again on Sunday after members of the Hindutva organisation 'Hindu Jagran Manch' tried to break through the gate of this educational institution in the Panchasayar area of Kolkata. Since the gate was closed, members of the organisation started protesting from outside. It is alleged that bricks and stones were hurled at the students who had gathered inside the campus. Counter-allegations have been made against the students for throwing bricks and stones. On September 27, SRFTI was in turmoil over a programme organised by an organisation linked to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Allegations of assault on students protesting against this programme were made against members of the Sangh's organisation 'Akhil Bharatiya Grahak Panchayat or ABGP (West Bengal)'. The Hindu Jagran Manch had called for a protest programme on Sunday in protest of September 27 incident. The police were also ready as they barricaded the SRFTI campus. However, the procession that started from Ajay Nagar broke the barricades and moved forward. Before that, the police had closed all the gates to enter the campus. The members of the Hindu Jagran Manch who came in a procession kept shaking the gate. They demanded that the police open the gate. The students also gathered at some distance from the gate. According to the members of the Hindu Jagran Manch, on September 27, students at the SRFTI had stepped on and tore the pictures of Bharat Mata and Swami Vivekananda. The members of the organisation said that this procession was in protest of that. I will explain to the students what the power of the nationalists is. Stones and bricks continued to be hurled amid the sloganeering by the students and the members of the Hindu Jagran Manch. The students alleged that the posters of BR Ambedkar hung on the gate were torn. As soon as the members of the Hindu Jagran Mancha reached the gate, they started fighting with the police. The police dragged some of them away. Some members of the Hindu Jagran Manch expressed their anger against the police over this. After the unrest continued for quite some time, the situation has now come under control. Police are still deployed outside the SRFTI gate.

Another govt official held in corruption case linked to Birbhum stone quarry owner Tulu Mandal

Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 4 (IANS) The police have arrested another government official from the Mohammadbazar area in West Bengal's Birbhum district in a financial embezzlement and corruption case linked to absconding stone quarry owner Tulu Mandal. The arrested person has been identified as Sabyasachi Mandal. He is a former officer of the Land and Land Reforms Office (BLRO) of Mohammadbazar Block, said the police on Sunday. He was summoned to Suri on Saturday for questioning. During the questioning, inconsistencies were found in the information. Late on Saturday night, he was arrested. According to the police, Sabyasachi is currently working as a Collectorate and Land Acquisition Officer in Jhargram district. According to investigative sources, this officer had special contacts with Tulu Mandal. Sabyasachi is accused of embezzling government revenue and abetting the fake receipt or duplicate carbon receipt (DCR) ring. Investigators claimed that the former BLRO of Mohammadbazar has been arrested on the same charge. He was the BLRO of Mohammadbazar from 2022 to 2025. It may be noted that last month, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of West Bengal Police arrested two people, including the treasurer of the BLRO office, Bishwajit Saha, in the same case. According to investigative sources, several people have been questioned in the Tulu Mandal case for the past few days. Bishwajit Saha was previously called to the police station for questioning five times. He was arrested due to several inconsistencies in his statement. On the other hand, Tulu's very close employee Kausar Ali was also arrested by the police after several interrogations. Investigators claimed that Kausar was responsible for managing several of Tulu's bank accounts in addition to Tulu's unaccounted income. The police also seized several bank cheque books from him. Tulu Mandal had a monopoly on the stone and sand business in several areas, including Mohammadbazar and Nalhati in Birbhum during the previous Trinamool Congress government era. It is alleged that with the help of a section of the administration, he printed these fake DCRs, embezzled hundreds of crores of rupees from the government and amassed a mountain of wealth. This stone mafia has been on the run since the search of Tulu's brother-in-law Minar Mandal's house, during which 28.5 crore rupees in cash and 15 kilograms of gold were recovered. Investigators estimate that Tulu has already fled to Dubai or Turkey. Recently, the government lawyer also applied to the Suri District Court to label him a 'proclaimed criminal' and confiscate his assets.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 4 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday announced Dinesh Arya as its candidate for the 2026 Rajya Sabha biennial election in Uttarakhand and Rukmini Mallick (Koel Mallick) from West Bengal. In Uttarakhand, the by-election is necessitated by the completion of the term of sitting Rajya Sabha member Naresh Bansal. Actress-turned-politician Rukmini Mallick, popularly known as Koel Mallick, recently switched to the BJP from the Trinamool Congress. She resigned as Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member in July this year, leaving the seat vacant and forcing a by-election. The Election Commission of India (ECI) on September 22 had announced the biennial elections for 11 Rajya Sabha seats, along with a by-election for one seat from West Bengal, on October 16. Of the 11 seats going to the polls in the biennial elections, 10 are from Uttar Pradesh, and one is from Uttarakhand. The West Bengal election will be held to fill a casual vacancy in the Upper House. The notification for the elections was issued on September 29, while the last date for filing nominations will be October 6. The scrutiny of nominations will be conducted on October 7, followed by the last date for withdrawal of candidature on October 9. Polling for the Rajya Sabha seats will be held on October 16 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., while counting of votes will begin at 5 p.m. on the same day. In Uttar Pradesh, the terms of 10 sitting Rajya Sabha members are coming to an end. The members whose terms are expiring include Arun Singh, Geeta alias Chandraprabha, Brij Lal, Ram Gopal Yadav, Ramji Gautam, B.L. Verma, Seema Dwivedi, Dinesh Sharma and Hardeep Singh Puri. Earlier in the day, the BJP announced its candidates for three Teachers' and Graduates' constituencies for the upcoming Maharashtra Legislative Council election. The BJP has fielded Smita Yogesh Jadhav from the Pune Division Graduates' constituency, Sudhakar Vitthalrao Kohle from the Nagpur Division Graduates' constituency and Kaustubh Muralidhar Gawde from the Pune Division Teachers' constituency. The announcement comes after discussions within the ruling alliance over the distribution of the five seats going to polls. According to MahaYuti leaders, the alliance has finalised a 3:1:1 formula for the elections. Under the arrangement, the BJP will contest three seats, while the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) will contest one seat and the Shiv Sena will contest the remaining one seat.

Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas 2027 to be held in Kolkata

Digital Desk | New Delhi/Kolkata, Oct 4 (IANS) The 19th edition of the Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas (PBD) Convention will be held from January 7 to 9, 2027, in West Bengal's Kolkata, officials have said. The Convention will be organised by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in partnership with the West Bengal government and will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Convention will also have a Youth PBD segment. The event will bring together Indian diaspora members, young diaspora leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, academics, innovators and other stakeholders from across the world, according to the officials. The Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas is celebrated to pay tribute to Mahatma Gandhi, who returned to India from South Africa on January 09, 1915. According to the MEA, the 19th edition of this flagship diaspora engagement event will build on the success of previous editions to foster the deep connections of the Indian diaspora with India, celebrating their contributions to India and to the world. Further details of the Convention, including registration and programme, will be shared soon. The local Indian Embassy or Consulate can be contacted for any immediate enquiries, the MEA said. The Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas Convention was first instituted in 2003 during the tenure of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. It was conceived as a formal mechanism to connect with and recognise the overseas Indian community and to strengthen their engagement with India. Since 2015, the MEA has revised the format of the event by organising the Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas Convention as a biennial gathering, with theme-based conferences held in the intervening years. This approach enables more focused discussions on specific areas of interest and fosters meaningful interaction and networking among members of the global Indian diaspora. Over the years, the Convention has facilitated the exchange of knowledge, skills and experiences across sectors, strengthening India's ties with its diaspora. President Droupadi Murmu will confer the Pravasi Bhartiya Samman Awards and preside over the Valedictory Session. The Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award is the highest honour conferred on a Non-Resident Indian, a Person of Indian Origin, or an organisation or institution established and run by them. The award recognises contributions by members of the Indian diaspora towards enhancing India's image abroad, supporting India's causes and working for the welfare of local Indian communities.
