Police find pistol, bullets in bag near JNU gate

November 8, 2016

New Delhi, Nov 8: A bag containing a pistol and seven live cartridges was recovered from the main gate of JNU early on Monday. Police said the bag might have been kept by someone who was familiar with the campus as the gate was not under CCTV surveillance. A case under the Arms Act has been registered at Vasant Kunj (north) police station.

Deadpool Police suspect that the person panicked seeing cops raid the campus to search for BSc student Najeeb Ahmed and left the bag near the gate to avoid detection. The possibility of an attempt to spread panic on the campus has not been ruled out.

The matter came to the fore when a security guard noticed an abandoned bag at 1.30am near the main entrance. "He thought a student must have forgotten it and would come to collect it later," said a police officer.

"When no one came till late evening, the guard opened the bag and found a country-made 7.62mm pistol, seven live cartridges, a water bottle and a screwdriver. They informed the PCR and the administration staff," the officer added.

Police reached the spot and seized the bag, which they claimed was new. Teams from the anti-terror units and senior officials from the south district have taken matter seriously.

Meanwhile, the JNU administration has decided to install CCTV cameras in and around the campus.

"The presence of weapons inside the campus raises a grave concern about the safety and security of all residents. Taking serious note of such incidences, the administration is in the process of installing CCTV cameras at the gates, sensitive areas, and public places," a press note from the university said.

"This news reminds us of Amit Jani (a member of Hindutva brigade) who threatened to enter JNU and shoot Kanhaiya Kumar and Umar Khalid in March when a fight was on against the police crackdown on students. We demand a proper inquiry to find out who kept the bag at the gate," said JNU Student Union president, Mohit Pandey.

Irked by Hegde remarks against Gandhi, BJP asks him to take 'remedial' measures

News Network

February 3,2020

New Delhi, Feb 3: BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde's swipe at Mahatma Gandhi has irked the top party leadership and he may be forced to apologise, party sources said on Monday.

A senior BJP leader said the Karnataka leader's comments were "condemnable" and the party leadership is upset with him.

"The party has conveyed its displeasure to him and asked him to take remedial measure. Any insult to Mahatma Gandhi is unacceptable," he said.

Hegde, a former Union minister, reportedly claimed at an event in Bangaluru that the entire freedom movement was staged with the consent and support of the British, and the independence movement led by Gandhi was a "drama".

He also wondered why the Father of the Nation was called 'Mahatma' (a great soul).

The party leader said the Lok Sabha MP is a "disciplined" member of the party and will do what he has been asked to.

Hegde, known for hardline Hindutva leanings, has a history of making controversial remarks.

This man and some others like him have reached the peak of their madness.

They will not change their attitude, as they know that nobody can do any harm to them.

Therefore they will listen only to dire action what they deserve per the penal code. If required put him behind bars.

Dont harm them more, see their families.
