New Delhi, Apr 24: The AAP government on Saturday filed a criminal complaint at the Patiala House District Courts here seeking registration of a criminal case against three television news channels for allegedly airing doctored videos of the February 9 protests on the JNU campus.

kejriAccording to a source, the airing of the videos could have been detrimental to law and order and could have triggered a riot on communal lines – an argument which forms the core of the 226-page complaint filed by the legal team of the Delhi government.

The government had recently decided to initiate proceedings through the court against the news channels on the basis of the findings of a magisterial probe, which had concluded that they had aired allegedly doctored videos of a controversial event.

The complaint was filed under Section 200 of Criminal Procedure Code, seeking cognisance of the offences such as misrepresentation, concealing facts and criminal conspiracy under the IPC and Information Technology Act.

The matter has been listed for hearing by a Metropolitan Magistrate in Patiala House Courts on Monday.

The probe, conducted by New Delhi District Magistrate Sanjay Kumar, did not find any evidence of JNU Students' Union president Kanhaiya Kumar raising anti-India slogans during the February 9 event, the allegation based on which he was slapped with sedition charges.

Dammam, Feb 3: Harish Bangera, 32, who was arrested in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia more than a month ago after offensive Facebook post went viral, has remained incommunicado.

Bangera, who hails from Goyadibettu in Bijadi village of Kundapur taluk, Udupi district, was an air-conditioning technician for a company in Dammam, capital of Saudi's eastern province.

He was arrested on December 20, 2019 after he posted derogatory messages on Facebook against crown prince Mohammad bin Salman and went on to claim that a Ram temple will be built in the holy city of Makkah too just like in Ayodhya where the Babri mosque was demolished.

Fearing legal action, he later posted a video pleading for forgiveness. “I have committed a mistake. Please forgive me. I will never upload any such posts again," he is seen saying in the video.

After his arrest, his roommate, who happens to be a Pakistani, has reportedly made several attempt to contact him, but in vain. He also has approached many Indian and Saudi authorities in his bid to get Bangera out of prison, sources said.

The Saudi authorities have not even responded to the messages of Indian Ministry of External Affairs. "We've made many efforts to contact the Saudi authorities but they haven't responded,” MEA sources said.

There can be many such people in the Kingdom. 

 

They should be identified and treated in the same way.

These are real terrorists, keep him few years in jail,  they should not be let free. Otherwise they will forget and commit again.

May God help us.

Udupi, Apr 24: While several state governments and NGOs are actively working to provide essentials to the needy amid the COVID-19 lockdown, a fisherwoman in Karnataka's Udupi has proved that even a small gesture of help for others can make a huge difference in the society.
A fisherwoman, Sharadakka, distributed rice to 140 needy families in her neighbourhood during the ongoing lockdown. The contribution was made by spending all her life savings amounting to Rs 30,000. The amount was saved by her over a period of time in an effort to build a house for herself.
On Thursday Udupi Deputy Commissioner G. Jagadeesh visited her and ensured help to build her house.
"Spending her meagre earnings, Sharadakka generously filled many empty stomachs amid the nation-wide lockdown, which is a matter of pride," said the Deputy Commissioner.
