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.

DeadpoolPolice 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.

Dubai, May 18: An Indian working in a mining company in the UAE has become the latest expatriate to have lost his job for hate-filled social media posts targeting Islam and Muslims.

Brajkishore Gupta was fired without notice for calling Indian Muslims 'coronavirus spreaders' and hailing the Delhi violence as 'divine justice' in his Facebook posts.

Gupta, who is from Chapra, Bihar, was employed by Stevin Rock, a mining company headquartered in Ras Al Khaimah city.

"This isolated incident involving a junior employee was investigated and dealt with immediately resulting in the termination without notice of this person's employment with Stevin Rock," said the company's business development and exploration manager Jean-Francois Milian.

"Our company policy supports the direction of the UAE government in promoting tolerance and equality and strongly renouncing racism and discrimination and we have sent communications to all of our employees irrespective of their religious or ethnic background reminding them that any such behaviour is unacceptable and will lead to immediate dismissal," Milian was quoted as saying in the report.

Three Indians based in the UAE were either fired or suspended from their jobs for "Islamophobic" posts on social media early this month.

On April 20, India's ambassador to the UAE Pavan Kapoor had warned Indian expatriates against such behaviour.

"India and UAE share the value of non-discrimination on any grounds. Discrimination is against our moral fabric and the Rule of law. Indian nationals in the UAE should always remember this," he said in a tweet.

Last month, Sharjah-based businessman Sohan Roy had to apologise for "unintentionally hurting religious sentiments" through his poem, which alluded to a Muslim religious group.

In March, chef Trilok Singh was fired from a restaurant in Dubai for an online threat against a student in Delhi over her views on the Citizenship Amendment Act.
