Sambhal temple-mosque row: Court sets August 21 to hear case
A civil court in Chandausi on Tuesday (August 5, 2025) deferred to August 21 the ongoing Shahi Jama Masjid-Harihar temple dispute owing to the strike of the local bar association members. The matter was listed for hearing before civil judge (senior division) Aditya Singh. Also Read | Excavation of well near Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal begins The Muslim side has challenged the maintainability of the case in the Allahabad High Court, but on May 19, the High Court upheld the subordinate court's order permitting a court-monitored survey and directed the trial court to proceed with the hearing. Advocate Shri Gopal Sharma, appearing for one side, said, 'Due to the bar association strike today, the court has fixed August 21 as the next date of hearing.' Advocate Shakil Ahmad Warsi, who represents the other side, told PTI that due to the rains, the bar association was on strike due to which the matter was posted for another date. The High Court's previous stay was vacated on May 19, and the documents related to that order were submitted in the trial court. The dispute dates back to November 19 last year, when Hindu petitioners, including advocates Hari Shankar Jain and Vishnu Shankar Jain, filed a suit in the Sambhal district court claiming the mosque was built over a pre-existing temple. A court-ordered survey was conducted on the same day (November 19), followed by another on November 24. The second survey on November 24 led to significant unrest in Sambhal, resulting in the death of four persons and injuries to 29 police personnel. The police booked SP MP Ziaur Rahman Barq and mosque committee head Zafar Ali in relation to the violence besides registering an FIR against 2,750 unidentified persons.

Indian-origin taxi driver attacked in Dublin, police probe violent assault
London, Aug 5 (PTI) An Indian-origin taxi driver based in Ireland for over 23 years has become the latest to be targeted in an unprovoked attack in the capital Dublin, with local police (Gardai) launching an investigation into the violent assault. Lakhvir Singh, in his 40s, told local media that he picked up two young men in their 20s on Friday night and dropped them at Poppintree, in the Ballymun suburb of Dublin. Upon arriving at the destination, the men are said to have opened the vehicle door and struck him twice on the head with a bottle. As the suspects fled, they reportedly shouted: 'Go back to your own country". 'In 10 years I've never seen anything like this happen," Singh told 'Dublin Live'. 'I'm really scared now and I'm off the road at the moment. It will be very hard to go back. My children are really scared," he said. A Dublin police spokesperson said Singh was taken to the city's Beaumont Hospital with injuries determined as not life-threatening. 'Gardaí are investigating an assault reported to have occurred in Poppintree, Ballymun, Dublin 11 at approximately 11:45 pm on Friday, 1st August 2025. A man, aged in his 40s, was brought to Beaumont Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injury. Investigations are ongoing," the spokesperson said. The incident followed an Indian Embassy advisory, also issued on Friday, expressing safety concerns following recent attacks in and around the capital Dublin and urging Indian citizens to take safety precautions. 'There has been an increase in the instances of physical attacks reported against Indian citizens in Ireland recently," states the advisory. 'The embassy is in touch with the authorities concerned in Ireland in this regard. At the same time, all Indian citizens in Ireland are advised to take reasonable precautions for their personal security and avoid deserted areas, especially at odd hours," the statement reads, adding emergency embassy contact details as 0899423734 and It came in the wake of a brutal attack on a 40-year-old Indian man at Parkhill Road in the Tallaght suburb of Dublin on July 19, described as 'mindless, racist violence" by locals. The Gardai had opened an investigation into the case and Indian Ambassador to Ireland Akhilesh Mishra was among those who took to social media to express shock over the attack. 'Regarding the recent incident of physical attack on an Indian national that happened in Tallaght, Dublin, the embassy is in touch with the victim and his family. All the requisite assistance is being offered. The embassy is also in touch with the relevant Irish authorities in this regard," the embassy said in a social media post days after the incident. A Stand Against Racism protest was also held by the local community in condemnation of what was described as a 'vicious racist attack" and to express solidarity with migrants. Last week, Dr Santosh Yadav took to LinkedIn to post details of a 'brutal, unprovoked racist attack". The entrepreneur and AI expert stressed that it was not an isolated incident and called for 'concrete measures" from the governments of Ireland and India to ensure Indians feel safe to walk the streets of Dublin. His post revealed that a group of six teenagers attacked him from behind as he walked to his apartment in Dublin. 'This is not an isolated incident. Racist attacks on Indian men and other minorities are surging across Dublin — on buses, in housing estates, and on public streets. Yet, the government is silent. There is no action being taken against these perpetrators. They run free and are emboldened to attack again," reads Yadav's post. Fine Gael party Councillor for Tallaght South, Baby Pereppadan, was among those who expressed concern following last month's attack. 'People need to understand that many Indian people moving to Ireland are here on work permits, to study and work in the healthcare sector or in IT and so on, providing critical skills," he said.

Section 144 in Pakistan's Rawalpindi as PTI plans protest over Imran Khan's arrest
The Rawalpindi district administration has imposed Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) in anticipation of nationwide protests planned by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Tuesday, Geo News reported. Senior Superintendent of Adiala Jail Abdul Ghafoor Anjum sent a letter, seeking additional security to prevent a possible protest by PTI supporters outside the prison.(Reuters File) The country is bracing for a fresh round of protests as the former ruling party has announced it will take to the streets across Pakistan on August 5, marking two years of Khan's incarceration, demanding his release and relief for the inflation-hit masses. The ban, effective from August 4 to August 10, prohibits all types of rallies, sit-ins, demonstrations, protests, and gatherings of more than four people within the district limits, as per Geo News. Senior Superintendent of Adiala Jail Abdul Ghafoor Anjum sent a letter to City Police Officer (CPO), seeking additional security to prevent a possible protest by PTI supporters outside the prison. In his letter, the jail superintendent noted that there are currently 7,700 inmates in the prison, while its capacity is only 2,174. "PTI has planned a protest outside the jail on August 5," the officer said, stressing the need for urgent measures to ensure foolproof security at the facility, where the PTI founder is serving jail terms in multiple cases ranging from treason to terrorism. Additional police personnel, barriers, and surveillance should be deployed outside Rawalpindi jail to avoid any untoward incident, the letter stated. According to Geo News, separate requests were also sent to the Home Department, IG Prisons, and RPO for security, it added. The officer further said that Rawalpindi jail was "very sensitive" due to the presence of political prisoners and terrorists. Additional security should be deployed from Dahgal Checkpost to Gate No. 5 of Adiala Jail, the letter said. PTI has repeatedly called for Khan's release, who has been behind bars for over a year. The deposed prime minister was arrested in Lahore on August 5, 2023, after being sentenced to three years in prison for illegally selling state gifts. The protest call was made by PTI stalwart Asad Qaiser during a press conference on Sunday, jointly addressed by the party's Secretary General Omar Ayub Khan and other leaders in Islamabad. "August 5 marks the day of the PTI founder's arrest; we will stage protests on that day," Qaiser said, referring to the Toshakhana case.
