Ranchi, Oct 11: In a case of police brutality, a Muslim youth breathed his last at a hospital in Ranchi after he was allegedly beaten tortured by police in Narayanpura Police station in Jamtara in Jharkhand.

brutality polcie22-year-old Minhaj Ansari, a native of Dighari village under Narayanpur police station, was picked up by police along with two others on October 3 on charges of posting provocative texts in a WhatsApp group.

According to local police the objectionable message posted on October 2 had the potential to trigger communal tension in the region. On October 4 the police released two others and continued to detain Ansari.

The two people who were released bore the marks of police torture throughout their body. They informed that Ansari had lost his eyesight in the custody due to police torture. When the family members of Ansari rushed to the station, the cops told them that he was ill and taken to a local hospital in Narayanpura.

When the family members reached the local hospital they came to know that Ansari's condition was extremely critical and he was already taken to the government hospital in Jamtara town. As his condition continued to worsen he was again shifted to Dhanbad for treatment on October 5.

The next day Ansari's family members rushed to Dhandbad. However, Narayanpura SHO Harish Pathak reportedly denied them a chance to meet the victim. This led to a scuffle between Pathak and family members of Ansari.

On October 7, Ansari was again referred to Ranchi Institute of Medical Science, where family members were allowed to meet him. After seeing Ansari his mother almost fainted. As per reports in local media, his eyes were wide open and he could not see anything. His spine and legs were broken.

Mohammed Ilyas, a family member, said that Ansari did not respond when his parents called him. On October 9 doctors pronounced him dead.

A tense atmosphere prevailed in Dighari after the incident. Meanwhile, the family members of Ansari revealed that police have warned them that if any form of protest takes place in the region they would be held direct responsible.

They next day two senior police officers visited the aggrieved family and them that action would be taken against the police. They also announced a compensation of Rs 2 lakh for the deceased's family. “Minhaj has a one-year-old daughter. What use is Rs 2 lakh, when you have killed her father,” asked Ilyas.

I request the IGP to dismiss the poice staff responsible for murdering an innocent youth and transfer benefits due to these Police to the family of deceased.

When 5 dalith's were beaten by upper caste Sangha Pariwar in Gujraj the entire Daliths i protested against brutality against them.

But when a muslim boy was beaten cruely and murdered by the police entire muslim's are mum.

In Muslims there is no unity . Shame on you Ranchi muslmano.

Bengaluru, Jul 29: A day after Congress staged a nationwide 'Save Democracy' protest, Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy slammed Congress for "dividing" the political parties and "buying MLAs" and questioned their "democratic behaviour" to lure Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLAs who supported them.

Kumaraswamy, in a media statement, said, "Is it a democratic behaviour to lure MLAs of other parties through political shenanigans and later merging with them?"

"Congress is an expert in dividing political parties and purchase of MLAs," said Kumaraswamy adding, "If you are dividing the like-minded party MLAs through deceit, who would support you?"

He alleged that the term "horse trade" in politics came to be used because of Congress.

Congress had tied to divide the Janata Dal (Secular) in 2004. To this, he added, "To avoid the party being hijacked by the Congress, I had to oust the Congress-JD(S) coalition government through a political coup."

Kumaraswamy further accused, "Haven't the Congress who is making a big noise about the purchase of MLAs divided the JD(S) in the past? Is it not a fact that for the sake of one Rajya Sabha seat, the Congress government in Karnataka purchased eight JD(S) MLAs?"

Both -- Congress and BJP -- are "criminals" in purchase matter, he added.

Rajasthan Congress is in turmoil after simmering differences between Sachin Pilot and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot came out in the open. Pilot was removed as the Deputy Chief Minister and the state unit chief of Congress.

The Congress has accused the BJP of indulging in horse-trading to bring down the Gehlot government. The BJP has rejected the allegations.

Mangaluru, Aug 7: A woman suffered critical injuries after a speeding car knocked down her scooter and then ran over her at Kadri Kambla Junction in the city today.

The woman identified as Vanishri Bhat (22) a resident of Kedila from Puttur. 

A CCTV footage of the accident, which went viral on social media, shows the car hitting the scooter, pushing the woman on road for a couple of meters before climbing over her.

The car stopped when she was under it. A few people including a policeman lifted the car from the front and rescued the woman. 

She was immediately taken to a private hospital in Mangaluru City MLA U T Khader’s car which was passing through that way. 

She has suffered critical injuries on her head, ribs, hands and legs, sources said. She is reportedly responding to treatment. 

It may be recalled that in December last year a lorry-auto accident at the same spot claimed life of a 56-year-old teacher while the auto driver miraculously survived. Following the accident, speed breakers were installed at the junction.
