The social media cell of the police, which is keeping a sharp vigil on social media posts to ensure instant action in case of inflammatory messages or rumour-mongering over the Chhitauni episode, detected Aditya Rajbhar indulging in rumour-mongering through his video posted on YouTube. Inspector, Chaubeypur, Ajit Kumar Verma said that taking note of it an FIR on the charges of promoting caste enmity and rumour-mongering was lodged.
Further investigation was on.
Many FIRs, including one in Ballia on the complaint of Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party (SBSP) president and UP minister Om Prakash Rajbhar's son and others against posting hate messages, have already been lodged in the case being probed by SIT.
Meanwhile, a high-voltage drama was staged by Kshatriya Mahasabha members on Tuesday after police foiled their bid to enter Chhitauna village.
However, the area remained peaceful on Wednesday. A heavy police force was deployed in and around the area and the entry of outsiders was not allowed by the police.
A minor dispute between Thakur and Rajbhar communities on July 5 over a stray cow entering a farming field in Chhitauna village snowballed into a major caste conflict the next day mainly due to the involvement of people with political backgrounds of both the communities.

Opposition to land pooling increases as support remains limited to AAP leadership
Jalandhar: If voices from Punjab's rural areas, especially among farmers and their organisations, are getting louder against land acquisition policy, voices in support of the policy are confined only to a section of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leadership. There are no organic voices yet from urban areas supporting the policy. Unlike the farm protest at Shambhu border, which led to the blockade of the vital National Highway 44 for close to a year, and where there were voices from trade, industry, and urban areas for lifting the blockade, there are no such voices from urban areas speaking in support of the land pooling scheme. The crackdown on the protest at the Shambhu border helped the ruling party get support from trade and industry sectors, and this became evident during the Ludhiana West byelection. Even when it comes to community, caste, social and economic levels, no section has yet started speaking out in support of the policy. There are quite a few videos that have been widely shared on Punjabi social media space, in which farmers have issued warnings to AAP supporters to face serious physical consequences if they come to their villages to explain the policy. BKU (Doaba) president Manjit Singh Rai, whose land is coming under the land pooling policy in Hoshiarpur district, publicly said he would not let anybody entering his land escape unscathed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Shop Sale Libas Undo A similar warning has been given by farmers from villages near Jalandhar. With opposition to the policy now becoming 'political correctness' among farmers, AAP may face an uphill task in getting farmers who can publicly speak in support of the scheme. From the govt side, along with chief minister Bhagwant Mann, ministers Aman Arora, Harpal Cheema, Hardeep Singh Mundian, Sanjeev Arora, and MP Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer have defended the policy. A few office bearers have also given interviews to a few YouTube channels to defend the policy. However, most of the MLAs or constituency in-charges, whose constituencies have areas coming under the land pooling policy, have confined themselves to sharing the party's pro-policy statements or videos, instead of giving their own statements or going to the villages whose land is covered under the scheme. These were mainly the rural areas of Punjab which provided the greatest push to the urban-centric AAP in the 2014 parliamentart election, due to the peculiar political situation in the state. In the 2022 assembly elections, the party swept equally in rural and urban areas. Now, with farm groups, opposition parties, Punjabi activists, and netizens pushing the counter-narrative across rural Punjab, much beyond the villages whose land is coming under it, the task for AAP is getting tougher.

MoS Bandi Sanjay asks KTR to respond to Ramesh's BRS-BJP merger claim
Union Minister of State (MoS) for Home Affairs, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, on Sunday demanded that BRS working president K. T. Rama Rao respond to the allegation of BJP MP C. M. Ramesh that he had once approached him with a proposal to merge his party with the BJP. Stating that the claim made by Ramesh is true, Bandi Sanjay asked K. T. Rama Rao (KTR) to respond. The MoS was speaking to media persons in Karimnagar on Sunday. Ramesh, a member of Lok Sabha from Anakapalli in Andhra Pradesh, had claimed on Saturday that a few months ago, KTR had come to his house in Delhi and put forth the merger proposal, and that he had video evidence of it. Ramesh said KTR had offered to have an alliance or to merge the BRS with the BJP on the condition that ongoing Enforcement Directorate (ED) and CBI probes against his sister, K. Kavitha, and others would be halted. The BJP MP had dared the BRS leader to swear by God and tell whether he had approached him with such a proposal or not. Ramesh made the claim while responding to KTR's allegation that Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy awarded contracts to a company owned by the BJP MP. When Bandi Sanjay's attention was drawn to a challenge thrown by KTR for a debate on his allegation, the MoS said he was ready to facilitate the debate and asked the BRS leader to fix the date, time and venue. The MoS also cited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's claim made at a public meeting in Nizamabad in 2023 that K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) had approached him with a request to include BRS in the NDA and also sought support to make his son KTR the chief minister. PM Modi had said he rejected his request on the ground that BRS is a family-centric party. The Minister of State claimed that BRS leaders were unable to run the party and alleged that the party is neck-deep in corruption. He also claimed that KTR had approached C.M. Ramesh in 2009 when KCR had refused to give him a ticket for the Assembly election for the first time. Ramesh not only convinced KCR to field KTR but also provided him financial support to contest the election, he said. The BJP leader accused KTR of using some social media accounts and YouTube channels to make derogatory comments against the BJP and its leaders. He warned the BRS leader that there would be 'attacks' in response to such comments.
