Sham Nagar firing: Murder victim was part of hit squad
Ludhiana: Police probe into the July 20 Sham Nagar firing case, in which Haibowal resident Rohit was shot dead by Jawahar Nagar resident Manav, revealed that the victim and his aides wanted to kill Manav. One of the arrested aides of the deceased confessed that they wanted to shoot Manav to prevent his uncle from testifying against the jailed criminal who murdered his (Manav's) father. Police recovered an illegal pistol along with a magazine and five live cartridges from the arrested accused, Rohan, 22, from Jawahar Nagar. Deputy commissioner of police (DCP- investigation), Harpal Singh, said, "Police have arrested Rohan, who was accompanying Rohit Kumar along with another aide. The three of them went to Sham Nagar to kill Manav. Manav's uncle, Kanwaljit Kumar (father's younger brother), was to testify in court on July 24 against jailed criminal, Darpan. Darpan and his accomplice, gangster Sukhwinder Singh Moni, shot Manav's father, Harjinder Jindi dead in 2020. Kanwaljit was a witness to the murder. Darpan and Moni did not want Kanwaljit to testify. At first, the jailed criminals got assailants to fire at Kanwaljit's house on July 15. On July 20, they sent Rohit, Rohan, and another aide to shoot Manav." According to the DCP, Rohan's interrogation revealed that before they could shoot Manav, he shot Rohit with his licenced pistol. "Rohit, who was killed, was seen with a pistol on CCTV cameras installed at the spot," said the DCP. City police also brought Darpan and Moni on production warrant from Patiala and Ludhiana jail respectively. DCP Harpal Singh said that the jailed criminals are behind both the Jawahar Nagar and Sham Nagar firing incidents. They are said to have approached a common contact, Namit Sharma, who is currently in Europe, to execute their plan. Namit contacted his associate, Aman Sharma, of Jawahar Nagar, who enlisted the assailants on payment. So far, city police have recovered six illegal pistols in both cases, including an imported Zigana P-Model pistol. A police official said that Aman Sharma arranged the weapons and ammunition. Efforts are on to track him and ascertain where the illegal pistols were procured from. Highlights of firing case --Rohit, who was shot dead on July 20 in Sham Nagar, was allegedly part of a group sent to kill Manav, the shooter --The motive was to prevent Manav's uncle, Kanwaljit Kumar, from testifying in court against jailed gangster Darpan, accused of murdering Manav's father in 2020 --Jailed criminals Darpan and Sukhwinder Singh Moni are believed to have orchestrated the attack from behind bars, using intermediaries --Police arrested Rohan (22), one of Rohit's aides, and recovered an illegal pistol, magazine, and five live cartridges --Europe-based contact, Namit Sharma, allegedly helped coordinate the attack through Aman Sharma of Jawahar Nagar --Police have recovered six illegal pistols so far, including an imported Zigana P-Model.

Kolkata: A 60-year-old man lost Rs 9.7 lakh to cyber fraudsters while attempting to increase his cheque limit during a visit to the LIC Hindustan Building on CR Avenue. Bhagwan Goala, a resident of Santragachhi in Howrah, and his son, Manoj Yadav, visited the insurance office to close his home loan of Rs 10.1 lakh. But he discovered that his cheque amount was capped at Rs 5 lakh. A staff member, Subrata Saha, gave Goala a mobile number, which he found online as belonging to the manager of the Shahpur branch of a nationalised bank in Bihar, where Goala had his account. "The insurance official found the number on a search engine," said the complainant to police. The number belonged to a fraudster, who convinced Goala to share his banking details and siphoned off the money. A case has been filed at the Bowbazar PS.

Centre waging language war against people of Bengal: CM Mamata Banerjee
KOLKATA: CM Mamata Banerjee on Thursday accused the BJP-led Centre of unleashing 'a language war and linguistic terrorism' on Bengal and its people. Banerjee used the 45th death anniversary of Bengal's biggest matinee idol, Uttam Kumar , to repeat her call for a 'Bhasha Andolan' and rip apart BJP-governed states where hundreds of Bengali migrant labourers were being detained or pushed into Bangladesh on suspicion of being Bangladeshis. 'A kind of linguistic terrorism has been declared against the Bengali language, the fifth most spoken in the world. Around 30 crore people speak Bengali but Bengali speakers are being sent to jail. I cannot accept this and I believe you cannot either,' she said. 'There should be zero tolerance for people being detained just for speaking Bengali. This issue is not mine alone, it is everyone's. Bengal is everything for us. We must protect this land,' she added.

'Have been receiving reports of detentions of and atrocities on Bengali-speaking people. West Bengal Police is receiving these reports from Haryana Police in the name of requests for identity searches,' she said, adding there were 'increasing reports from other states like Rajasthan of illegal pushbacks' of Indian citizens having 'all proper documents to Bangladesh dir-ectly!!' 'Hapless, poor Bengali workers' were being tortured, she posted, adding she was 'shocked to see these terrible atrocities in double-engine' states. 'What do you want to prove?' she asked BJP . Banerjee, speaking at the Mahanayak Samman award ceremony earlier on Thursday, exhorted the audience to watch 'all kinds of films... but not neglect Bengali cinema' and highlighted the melodious quality of Bengali songs from the golden era. 'There is a sweetness, a richness of language and melody, in Bengali music that will never fade,' she said, commenting on the recent trend of not using Bengali songs in Bengali television serials. 'Where is Bengali in our songs? It is all just loud and flashy music. We already have Bollywood for that. South Indian films, too, are popular. But Tollywood should have more Bengali songs, not just music. I am not asking anyone to disrespect other languages. But that does not mean we lose our own (culture). We are proud of all languages but we cannot achieve anything by forgetting Bengali. Let all languages grow in harmony and unity,' she said, adding that the next edition of the Kolkata International Film Festival would give greater importance to Bengali films. Banerjee recalled watching movies with her mother in the single-screen theatres of Bhowanipore and mentioned that her only regret was not having met Uttam Kumar. 'It has been 45 years but we can never forget him. I believe he is the nation's pride, a symbol of our culture and character. I met Suchitra Sen before her passing. I also knew Supriya-di for a long time. I know Sharmila-di and Tanuja-di too,' she said after conferring the Mahanayak Samman awards to make-up artist Somnath Kundu, production designer Ananda Addhya, actor Gargee Roy Chowdhury and singers Iman Chakraborty and Rupankar Bagchi. Veteran director Goutam Ghose, who turned 75 on Thursday, received the Mahanayak Shreshtha Samman. 'We started this recognition in 2012. Twenty-five people received the Mahanayak Award till 2024. We have honoured 41 personalities from the film industry as Barsha Shera, 147 people have been given the Bishesh Chalachitra Award and 22 have received the Lifetime Achievement Award in cinema,' Banerjee said, lauding actor Prosenjit Chatterjee for creating a new exhibition model where viewing rooms would be arranged for 40–50 people across 100 locations in Bengal. Banerjee then stressed the importance of artistes' and technicians' health. 'We have a health insurance scheme of Rs 5 lakh for 4,800 artistes; around 20,000 people benefit from this scheme if we include their families. The state's Film Workers' Welfare Fund helps needy artistes and technicians,' she said, adding that she would inaugurate the Sangeet Academy soon.
