Thakur-Rajbhar clash: FIR against life threats to SBSP chief
Varanasi: FIR was lodged at Kotwali police station in Ballia district on Tuesday against life threat to UP minister Om Prakash Rajbhar, president of Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party, in connection with a violent clash between groups of Thakurs and Rajbhars at Chhitauna village in Varanasi. Another FIR was lodged against an individual in Varanasi for an inflammatory social media post related to the Chhitauna episode. Ballia ASP (Southern), Kripa Shankar, said a case was registered under appropriate sections after a post went viral on social media in which a person had made a reference to the SBSP president in abusive language. Necessary legal action was being taken in this connection, he added. Referring to the viral post, the minister's son, Arun Rajbhar, claimed there was life threat issued to his father and demanded that he was provided Z plus security by Union home minister Amit Shah. He wrote to Shah after a person claiming to be an office-bearer of Karni Sena's Ballia unit allegedly issued a threat on social media that he would shoot the senior Rajbhar. In Varanasi, Chaubeypur police lodged FIR against Dinanath Rajbhar for spreading discord in society by circulating a video on various social media platforms.

UP man poses as gangster Lawrence Bishnoi to extort Rs 1 crore from Bengaluru businessman, arrested with 3 others
Four people, including three rowdy-sheeters from Uttar Pradesh, have been arrested in Bengaluru over an extortion call in which a caller falsely claimed to be notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, the police said on Tuesday. The arrested accused are Mohammad Rafiq from Mavalli in Bengaluru, and UP natives Shishupal Singh alias Monty, Vansh Sachdev, and Amit Chaudhary, Commissioner of Police Seemant Kumar Singh said. Police investigations confirmed that none of the three had any connection to Lawrence Bishnoi, who is infamous for issuing death threats to actor Salman Khan and allegedly orchestrating the murders of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala and Maharashtra politician Baba Siddique. On July 9, a Bengaluru-based businessman allegedly received a phone call where the impersonator demanded Rs 1 crore and threatened to kidnap his son if the ransom wasn't paid. He immediately contacted the police and filed a complaint. Special teams were formed and upon getting the technical details, the team initially arrested Rafiq. Through detailed call record analysis and technical investigations, officers tracked down the other three suspects to Delhi. They were brought to Bengaluru on transit warrants. The police revealed that Rafiq had a previous business relationship with the complainant involving unresolved financial matters from several years ago. However, the immediate motive was Rafiq's debt of approximately Rs 2 crore, which prompted his desperate search for money, they added. The conspiracy was hatched when Rafiq travelled to Delhi for court proceedings related to a previous case. There, he encountered Amit through advocates. After sharing his predicament, Amit offered a solution, claiming knowledge of individuals experienced in kidnapping and extortion operations, according to the police. The group of four met regularly and during one evening while drinking at Amit's lodge, they conceived the plan to impersonate Lawrence Bishnoi, according to the police. This decision was influenced by social media videos and reels about the gangster that they had watched online. Rafiq allegedly provided logistical support for his UP-based accomplices who made the extortion call. Investigations have uncovered that the suspects brought a countrymade pistol from Uttar Pradesh and the police are yet to recover it.

Teacher booked for telling students to ‘light lampof knowledge instead of going on kanwar yatra'
Bareilly: A govt school teacher in UP's Bareilly was slapped with a case on Tuesday for "promoting enmity" after he was seen in a video purportedly reciting an "objectionable poem referring to kanwar yatra" in front of students during their assembly prayer. In the clip, he could be heard saying, "Light the lamp of knowledge instead of going on kanwar yatra". Police said an FIR was registered against teacher Rajneesh Gangwar under BNS section 353-2 (public mischief with intent to promote enmity, hatred or ill-will between different groups) following a complaint by a local right-wing activist Shakti Gupta. In the police complaint, Gupta accused Gangwar of "hurting religious sentiments by reciting an objectionable verse from a poem to students at Bareilly's MGM Inter College". Baheri circle officer Arun Kumar said, "The teacher has not been arrested yet as the section imposed against him has a punishment of three years in jail. Police, as per the norms, can't arrest anyone accused of an offence that provides for seven or fewer years of imprisonment. Investigation is on and further action will be taken accordingly." In the 26-second clip, part of a five-minute video, the teacher -- after making a purported remark on the yatra -- could be heard urging the students to "serve humanity and become true humans..." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dukung Orang Terkasih Menghadapi Limfoma: Mulai Di Sini Limfoma Pelajari Undo The video was widely circulated online, with many calling it "disrespectful towards a religious tradition". "During a school activity, I read a poem to students. There was nothing wrong with it. For some time now, there has been a conspiracy against me within the school. About a year-and-a-half ago, there was an attempt to file an FIR against me, accusing me of assaulting students. When nothing was found then, a 26-second clip was improperly edited now to create a false narrative against me," the accused teacher told TOI on Tuesday. Meanwhile, school principal Ashok Kumar Gangwar said the teacher read the poem on Saturday, and a "clarification has been sought from him". The ongoing kanwar yatra is scheduled to conclude on July 23.
