Madinha, Jul 5: The security forces of Saudi Arabia have proved their competency, dedication and commitment by sacrificing their own lives to foil the plot of dreaded terrorists in the Islamic kingdom. In two separate incidents on Monday, the security forces prevented the suicide bombers from entering the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah and US consulate in Jeddah.

At least four Saudi security force members were killed and five wounded, when a suicide bomber, who was prevented from entering the Prophet's Mosque, Al-Haram Al-Nabawi, regarded as one of Islam's holiest sites, blew himself up.

“With Maghreb prayer drawing near on Monday in Madinah, security men suspected a man who was walking towards the Prophet's Mosque across an open area that is being used as a parking lot for visitors. When they tried to stop him, he blew himself up resulting in his death and the martyrdom of four security men. Meanwhile, five other security men were injured. May they recover quickly,”said Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki, security spokesman of the Ministry of Interior.

Al Arabiya News Channel's correspondent said the suicide bombing took place near a security building parking lot between the city courtyard and the mosque, visited by millions every year.

The attack took place during Maghreb prayers, the time when Muslims break their fast during the holy month of Ramadan. The channel showed images of fire raging in a parking lot with at least one body seen nearby. The suicide bomber also died in the attack.

Before that at 2:15 a.m., a suicide bomber blew himself up near the US Consulate in Jeddah. Security officers endangered their lives and confronted him as he moved suspiciously at a parking lot of the Dr. Soliman Fakeih Hospital. It is learnt that the bomber's intention was to barge into the Consulate and kill maximum people. At least two policemen were wounded lightly in the attack.

Mangaluru, July 29: The police have managed to nab a youth in connection with issuing death threat against IAS officer Sindhu B Rupesh, the outgoing deputy commissioner of Dakshina Kannada.

The arrested has been identified as Ranjit, a resident of Bajpe, on the outskirts of the city. He is said to be Hindutva activist. 

The death threat came in the wake of the officer’s warning against attack on cattle traders by anti-social elements ahead of Eid al-Adha. 

Even though the IAS officer had not lodged any complaint, Moodbidri police had registered a suo motu case after a WhatsApp screenshot of the death threat went viral on social media.

Meanwhile, Sindhu B Rupesh was transferred and posted as director, electronic delivery citizen services (EDCS), DP & AR (e governance) Bengaluru.

It has been 33 years since the night of 22 May, 1987 when nearly 50 Muslim men from Hashimpura, a settlement in Meerut were rounded up and packed into the rear of a truck of the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC), an armed police of Uttar Pradesh. It was the blessed month of Ramadan and all the Muslims were fasting.

That night 42 of those on board the truck were killed in two massacres in neighbouring Ghaziabad district. One along the Upper Ganga canal near Muradnagar, the other along the Hindon canal in Makanpur, on the border with Delhi.

The cops had returned home after dumping the dead bodies into the canal. A few days later, the dead bodies were found floating in the canal and a case of murder was registered. 

Vir Bahadur Singh was the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh and Rajiv Gandhi was the prime minister of India when this incident took place. 

Not much has changed for the survivors and the relatives of the victims even today. The wounds are still fresh. Hashimpura remains devoid of basic municipal amenities, the erring silence on the narrow lanes of the locality amid the activities of a daily life speaks of the horror of the fateful day in 1987.

The massacre was the result of one among the many outcomes of the decision taken by the Rajiv Gandhi government to open the locks of Babri Masjid. After a month of rioting, the situation was tense in various parts of Meerut, and a lot spilled over in the nearby areas.
