Goons harass, threaten 3 girls on Patuli FOB, flee after they call cops
1 2 Kolkata: A complaint of harassment and attempted molestation was reported from the Patuli area on EM Bypass where 16-year-old girl from Bansdroni and two of her friends alleged three men threatened and verbally abused them on the Pauli overbridge on Tuesday. The girl reported that the incident occurred around 7.40 pm, when the three friends were chatting while standing on the footbridge. Three men, who were walking below the bridge, suddenly stopped and approached her, making offensive comments. Initially taken aback, she decided to stand up for herself and her friends. When she protested, one of the suspects allegedly threatened her, saying he would assault her with a knife. The teenager then dialled 100 and sought help of police. According to the minor's statement to cops, when the accused realised that the police were on their way, they made some more obscene remarks and gestures and fled. The police arrived at the scene, contacted the girls' parents, and convinced the minors to lodge an FIR.

Deputy commissioner of police (SSD) Bidisha Kalita is stated to be monitoring the probe. "We are taking this incident very seriously. Our team is reviewing CCTV footage from the area and interviewing potential witnesses to corroborate the girl's account. We are on the verge of nabbing all the accused once we establish the facts of the case," an officer said. The Patuli police registered a case under BNS 351 (2) pertaining to criminal intimidation, 79 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), and 54 (abettor present when the incident took place). Officers are conducting raids to apprehend the suspects. The incident has raised concerns about random attempts to harass women on main roads. Local residents have demanded increased police patrolling in the evenings, especially as many women visit this place at that time. The authorities have urged anyone with information about the incident or the whereabouts of the suspects to contact the local police station. "We will appeal to court so that the statements of the girls can be recorded before a magistrate. We are also trying to contact independent witnesses," said an officer.

Why no probe against theft complainant: Seeman
Madurai: Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) leader Seeman on Wednesday evening led a protest at Thiruppuvanam in Sivaganga condemning the custodial death of temple security guard B Ajith Kumar. He demanded to know why no action or investigation had been initiated against J P Nikitha, the complainant in the gold jewellery theft case in which Ajith was interrogated as a suspect and later died. Seeman paid tribute to Ajith's portrait at his home and met his mother B Malathy and brother B Naveen Kumar. "It has come to light that there have been numerous fraud complaints and pending cases against Nikitha. The tainted policemen's wives have said that they only followed their higher officials. Why are they not being investigated," he asked. He wanted to know whether the gold jewellery as given in the complaint by Nikitha has been recovered. "Getting permission for a protest by NTK comes with such a huge process and hurdles whereas no procedures were followed when Ajith was questioned," he said. Seeman claimed that the transfer of the case to CBI shows the fear of chief minister M K Stalin. "It is merely an attempt to delay things. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 月 *만원대 '실비보험' 최적가 비교추천!

He condemned the DMK govt for not fulfilling its election promise of early release of eligible undertrial Muslim prisoners.

Epstein client list: Megyn Kelly blasts Pam Bondi, calls her 'too lazy' as MAGA wants her to resign
Megyn Kelly says Pam Bondi's days in Trump administration are number after her massive Epstein fail. Right-wing commentator Meghyn Kelly has been the latest to turn on Attorney General Pam Bondi after the US administration closed the Epstein case forever, announcing that the convicted sex offender indeed died by suicide in his prison cell, and he did not have a list of clients. The joint memo of the DOJ and the FBI led to a major meltdown of the MAGA activists, as releasing Epstein files was one of the promises that the Donald Trump administration promised with certainty. Megyn Kelly said onher show that Pam Bondi's days are numbered as a member of the Trump administration. 'Pam Bondi knew she was about to embarrass some of his most loyal surrogates out there, and did that willingly, or she didn't take the time to make sure what was in those binders,' Kelly said. 'It was all publicly released information that had already been out there…She was too lazy to actually figure out none of this is new, and yet she called a meeting with the influencers that included Kash Patel, the head of the FBI, and the sitting vice president. ' 'Then she acted indignant. She didn't know. It was the sleazy FBI who had withheld the real documents from her,' Kelly said. 'She was going to get to the bottom of it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Official IQ Test - Updated 2025 IQ International Undo Then she said further release would come. One did not come. Then she was caught on tape saying there are tens of thousands of kiddie porn or child pornography material that we found, which again, is like, a third issue over here. And next thing we know there's no there there. ' 'They f***ed up because they trusted her,' Kelly said. 'They were humiliated because she gave them all these binders that read 'Epstein Files,' you know, 'Volume 1,' and there was nothing new in there. Nothing. There was no scoop. Why would she do that?' Bondi claimed she never said there was a client list waiting on her desk during a February Fox News interview, and what she was referring to was the overall Epstein file. She also claimed the files not released were child porn which would not be made public after she previously teased 'truckloads' of evidence. What Trump said on no ' Epstein client list ' When Trump was asked about his administration failing to keep its promise of releasing Epstein list, and instead coming up with the defense that there is no list, Trump expressed wonder that people are still talking about Epstein. "Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?" Trump said. "This guy, we have been talking about for years. You are asking... We have Texas and other issues, and people are still talking about this creep guy that is unbelievable. You are a waste of time. I mean, I can't believe you are asking a question about him and at a time like this, when we are having some of the greatest success and tragedy with what happened in Texas. It seems like a disaggregation."
