Police recover stolen tractor from Hry after Cong MLA's complaint
1 2 Jaipur: Nearly two weeks after a tractor trolley was allegedly stolen from the residence of Dausa Congress MLA Deen Dayal Bairwa in Dausa, police recovered the vehicle from Haryana Saturday. A car used by the suspects involved in the theft was also seized, but the thieves managed to escape and have not yet been arrested. Police searched for the tractor trolley after the legislator took to X on July 7 and claimed that he was targeted by thieves three times in a month. Bairwa said that first his mobile phone was stolen, then a motorcycle from his home, and finally, a tractor trolley was taken. A police officer, however, clarified that the MLA was not the owner of the tractor trolley and it was not parked inside his residence. "The tractor belonged to Fateh Singh Gurjar, a resident of the Bassi area in Jaipur. He filed a complaint about the vehicle theft that occurred on July 6, after which teams were formed to trace it," the officer said. According to police, CCTV footage and technical investigation helped track the vehicle to Palwal district in Haryana. Raids were carried out at the location where the tractor trolley was being hidden, but the suspects managed to escape. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo A car was seized from the spot during the operation. The officer added that the MLA had no direct connection with the theft other than the fact that it occurred near his residence. Following the series of incidents, Bairwa posted on X, writing, "In Dausa, thieves are becoming more daring, and the police seem to be just a name. The theft of my mobile on June 11, the motorcycle from my residence on June 14, and now the tractor trolley last night raises questions about law and order. I urge the police to take swift action." After Bairwa's post, former chief minister Ashok Gehlot and Leader of Opposition Tikaram Jully also criticised the state govt over the situation.

Donald Trump sparks outrage by demanding Washington Commanders name reversal request (Image via Getty) On July 20, 2025, President Donald Trump used his Truth Social account to call for an immediate change of the NFL's Washington Commanders back to the Washington Redskins and MLB's Cleveland Guardians back to the Cleveland Indians. He wrote that 'our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen' and urged team owners to 'GET IT DONE!!!'

He declared that the Washington 'Whatever's' must 'IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team' and added that fans are clamouring for the move . He also insisted that the Cleveland Indians name carry more history than the current Guardians label, though baseball's 'original six' term applies to hockey, not baseball . Donald Trump said the renaming is not about disrespect but preserving 'heritage and prestige' for Native Americans.

Both owners, Josh Harris of Washington and Chris Antonetti of Cleveland, have said they plan no further changes.

Leaders pay tribute to ex-CM Sheila Dikshit on 6th death anniversary
Cutting across party lines, senior leaders such as Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal, and Delhi Congress president Devender Yadav, paid tributes to the longest-serving Chief Minister of Delhi, Sheila Dikshit, on her sixth death anniversary on Sunday. 'Humble tribute on the death anniversary of former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshitji,' Ms. Gupta wrote on X. In a post on the social media platform, Mr. Kejriwal said, 'On the death anniversary of Delhi's former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, I pay my homage to her.' Mr. Yadav, along with several Congress leaders and workers, paid floral tributes to Dikshit at the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee office. Attacking the BJP and AAP on the occasion, he said the welfare schemes introduced by Dikshit for slum dwellers, street vendors, Dalits, minorities, and the marginalised have nearly been shut down by the former AAP government and the present BJP regime. 'Delhi had witnessed massive development when the Congress government, headed by Dikshit, was in power for 15 years and came to be known as the golden era of Delhi. The Delhi metro, flyovers, underpasses, CNG fleet of public transport, including DTC (Delhi Transport Corporation), well-paved roads, modern hospitals, new universities, colleges, and schools, and green cover changed the face of the Capital,' he said. Mr. Yadav said the people of Delhi still remember Dikshit for the 'unprecedented development works carried out' during her tenure as the CM.
