Crackdown on illegal madrasas, encroachment continues in UP districts along India-Nepal border
The state government has termed it a campaign launched under CM Yogi Adityanath's directives to target illegal structures. Joint teams from the Revenue and Police departments are conducting coordinated operations to identify and remove encroachments, including unauthorised mosques, Eidgahs, and madrasas.
At the same time, unrecognised and non-compliant madrasas are being sealed. While unauthorised religious structures on government land are being demolished per legal procedures. So far, action has been taken against hundreds of illegal constructions, and the crackdown continues in full force.
The campaign is being run in the seven districts, including Bahraich, Shravasti, Balrampur, Pilibhit, Lakhimpur Kheri, Maharajganj and Siddharthnagar, all sharing borders with Nepal.

Pragya Thakur Claims She Was Coerced Into Naming PM Modi In Malegaon Blast Case
New Delhi: In a startling revelation following her acquittal in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, former BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur has alleged that investigators pressured her to implicate top political and RSS leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. According to an NDTV report, Thakur, who was acquitted on Thursday along with Lt Col Prasad Shrikant Purohit and five others by a special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court, claimed she was tortured during the investigation and forced to name several senior figures. 'They tortured me. My lungs collapsed, and I was detained illegally in the hospital,' she said. 'They told me to name people like Ram Madhav, Yogi Adityanath, Mohan Bhagwat, and even Prime Minister Modi. They said if I took these names, they wouldn't beat me.' Thakur further stated that investigators exploited her residence in Gujarat to push her to link PM Modi to the case. 'I didn't name anyone because they were trying to make me lie,' she said, adding that her experiences would be detailed in a forthcoming book, as per the reports. Her allegations come shortly after a court verdict exposed inconsistencies in the investigation. A hostile witness had previously told the court that he was coerced into naming Yogi Adityanath and four other RSS-linked individuals, including senior RSS member Indresh Kumar. These claims echoed earlier accusations by Mehboob Mujawar, a former Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) officer, who said he was ordered to arrest RSS chief Bhagwat, a directive he refused. Mujawar reiterated on Friday that there was a deliberate attempt to portray the case as one of 'saffron terror' and misdirect the investigation. Despite these claims, the Special NIA court rejected all such allegations. On Thursday, after a 17-year legal battle, the court acquitted all seven accused, citing the prosecution's failure to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. The verdict, delivered by Special Judge A.K. Lahoti in Mumbai, absolved the accused of all charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), Arms Act, and other laws. The seven individuals on trial included Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, former BJP MP from Bhopal, Lt Col Prasad Shrikant Purohit, then a Military Intelligence officer, Major (Retd) Ramesh Upadhyay, Ajay Rahirkar, Sudhakar Dwivedi, Sudhakar Chaturvedi, and Sameer Kulkarni. The Malegaon blast occurred on September 29, 2008, in the communally sensitive town of Malegaon in Maharashtra, during the holy month of Ramzan and just ahead of Navratri. The explosion killed six people and injured over 100. Pragya Thakur was arrested in October 2008 after the motorcycle used in the blast was traced back to her. Investigators alleged that she and others conspired to target Muslim-majority areas in retaliation for previous terror attacks. Lt Col Purohit was accused of supporting the radical Hindu outfit Abhinav Bharat and allegedly helped organize meetings and procure explosives. With the court now ruling in favor of the accused, the focus has shifted to the conduct of the original investigation—and the explosive claims of coercion, torture, and political targeting that continue to emerge.

Malegaon blast case twist: Witness tells court he was forced to name Yogi Adityanath, RSS Leaders
In a significant twist in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case, a key witness who turned hostile has alleged that Maharashtra ATS officers coerced him into naming Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and other RSS figures under duress. This revelation came just after all seven accused—including former BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt. Col. Prasad Purohit—were acquitted by an NIA special court due to a lack of credible evidence The witness, identified as Milind Joshirao, stated in court that ATS officers detained him for six to seven days and repeatedly threatened torture unless he named five RSS individuals, including Yogi Adityanath, Indresh Kumar, Professor Deodhar, Swami Aseemanand, and Sadhvi Pragya. According to Joshirao, the officers assured his release if he complied; when he refused, he was threatened with physical harm Special Judge A.K. Lahoti noted that Joshirao's written statement had been entirely recorded by an ATS officer, raising serious doubts about its voluntariness and admissibility in court. The judge highlighted that most witnesses who had turned hostile had retracted earlier statements and underscored concerns over illegal detention and coercion by ATS personnel. The court's acquittal of all seven accused hinged on inconsistencies in witness testimony and investigative lapses. The verdict also exposed contradictions between the Maharashtra ATS and the NIA investigations, including discrepancies about where the explosives were planted and procedural flaws attributed to UAPA provisions In a related development, former ATS officer Mehboob Mujawar alleged that senior ATS officials directed him to arrest RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat to build a narrative of "saffron terror." Multiple acquitted individuals later accused the ATS of planting evidence and engaging in torture during their detention. Former MP Pragya Thakur herself said that her detention spanned 13 days with alleged torture over 24 days, claiming attempts to coerce her into naming high-profile individuals like PM Modi and Yogi Adityanath.

Malegaon blast case: Forced to name Yogi Adityanath, says witness; court scraps his statement to ATS
A witness in his testimony to the special court in the 2008 Malegaon blast case had alleged that he was tortured and forced by the officers of the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) to name Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in the case. Special Judge A.K. Lahoti, who on Thursday (July 31, 2025) acquitted all seven accused in the case, said he could not rely on the witness's statement to the ATS, as he submitted to the court that it was given involuntarily. 2008 Malegaon blast: Who were the accused? A brief timeline of the case In its more than 1,000-page judgment, made available on Friday (August 1, 2025), the court said the ATS had questioned prosecution witness Milind Joshirao in October 2008 about the functioning of the right-wing group Abhinav Bharat. He was asked about a meeting at the Raigad fort, where the accused had allegedly taken an oath to create a separate Hindu Rashtra. Joshirao, during his testimony to the court, claimed that the ATS had treated him like an accused. 'They (ATS officers) were telling him to take the names of Yogi Adityanath, Asimanand Indresh Kumar, Devdhar, Pragya and Kakaji in his statement,' the court said. 'The ATS officers assured him that if he took their names, they would let him go free,' it added. Controversy breaks out in Maharashtra after ex-policeman claims he was asked to pick up Mohan Bhagwat over 2008 Malegaon blast case The court noted that the witness had refused to do so and hence, the then Deputy Commissioner of Police Shrirao and Assistant Commissioner of Police Param Bir Singh had shown the fear of torture to him and extended threats. 'It further held that the witness had never stated the things mentioned in the statement and it was written by the ATS officers,' it said. 'Considering his testimony, it clearly indicates that the statement was involuntary,' the court said. 'The statement raises doubts regarding its admissibility and authenticity as it was involuntary,' the court said. Malegaon blast acquittals destroyed Congress 'conspiracy' to manufacture false narrative of Hindu terror: BJP 'When a statement is given involuntarily without actual knowledge of the facts mentioned in the same, nothing survives in it,' the court held, terming it as unreliable. Former BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt. Col. Prasad Purohit were among the seven to be acquitted by the court, which noted that the prosecution had failed to adduce cogent and reliable evidence to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. Six people were killed and 101 were injured after a blast at Malegaon in Nashik district in September 2008.
