Rajasthan youth murder: Tazia procession cancelled amid rising tensions in Bhilwara
Jaipur: Protests continue in Jahazpur town of Bhilwara district in Rajasthan on Saturday following the murder of a youth by a mob. The victim's family has demanded Rs 1 crore in compensation and bulldozer action on the houses of the accused, while the local administration, in view of rising tensions, has imposed restrictions and cancelled the Tazia procession scheduled for July 5 and 6 during Muharram. The family has been staging a protest outside the government hospital in Jahazpur since Saturday. The Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) of Jahazpur has officially withdrawn permission for the Tazia processions, citing law and order concerns. A complete ban has now been enforced on carrying out processions on both days. According to the police, the incident occurred on Friday around 7:30 PM in the Takiya Masjid area of Jahazpur. Four youths - Sitaram, Sikandar, Dilkhush, and Deepak - residents of the Chhavni area in Tonk, had come to Jahazpur in a car to attend a function at the home of Sikandar's sister. While leaving the main market, their car accidentally hit a handcart. An argument broke out with the cart owner, and soon, around 20 people gathered and began assaulting the group. Sitaram (25) was pulled out of the vehicle, beaten severely, and thrown onto the road. He succumbed to his injuries on the spot. In protest, Jahazpur town observed a complete shutdown on Saturday. A murder case has been registered against 16 named individuals and 20 unidentified others. Police forces from 10 nearby stations have been deployed to prevent any further unrest. Hari Nand Kahar, state chief of the Kewat Kahar Samaj, said that Sitaram was brutally murdered. 'We strongly condemn this heinous act. The accused must receive strict punishment. The victim's family is poor - his father has passed away, and his elderly mother was entirely dependent on him,' he said. Nand Kahar pointed out that the family must receive Rs 1 crore compensation and a government job for one member, adding that the case should be investigated by an SIT and tried in a fast-track court. Bhilwara MP Damodar Agarwal said that the incident is serious, and there is anger in society. 'Police are arresting the criminals. A situation of agitation has arisen. People must maintain peace,' he said.

The 44-year-old reality star signed the paperwork on June 26, which was a day prior to the 'Here comes the Bride!' moment. Last year, Kardashian, in all good faith, used her social media to raise awareness in an attempt to help a man from Texas, who was convicted of murder in 2001 and was sentenced to death. Similar to the man who is suing Kim right now, the convicted fellow's name was Ivan Cantu as well. Kim Kardashian's lawyer said... Kardashian's lawyer said, '[Kim] played an important role in advocating for Mr. Cantu. Over the course of approximately ten days in February 2024, [Kim] and her team posted a series of 'stories' regarding Mr. Cantu — approximately 16 in all — on [Kim's] Instagram account. Of these 16 stories, one story posted two days before Mr. Cantu's execution mistakenly used an image of the plaintiff in this action, a New York-based project manager whose name is also Ivan Cantu. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Most Women Have No Idea This Household Item Fades Dark Spots Overnight Undo ' Ivan Cantu proclaimed that because of Kim Kardashian, he has suffered PTSD, sleepless nights and emotional distress due to her posting.

Nirav Modi's brother arrested in US on Indian extradition request
Nehal Modi, the brother of fugitive economic offender Nirav Modi, has been arrested in the United States on an extradition request by the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate, The Hindu reported on Saturday. Nehal Modi is a co-accused in the Rs 13,000-crore Punjab National Bank fraud case. In its complaint, the prosecution in the US said that the extradition proceedings were being pursued for alleged money laundering under India's Prevention of Money Laundering Act and alleged criminal conspiracy under sections of the erstwhile Indian Penal Code, the newspaper reported. Nehal Modi is alleged to have assisted in concealing and transferring illicit funds through a network of shell companies and overseas transactions, The Hindu reported. The extradition matter is expected to be heard in a US court on July 17, PTI reported. Nehal Modi is a Belgian citizen. The PNB fraud came to light in February 2018 when the bank informed the stock exchange BSE that it had detected 'fraudulent and unauthorised transactions' worth Rs 11,380 crore at a branch in South Mumbai. A few officials of the public sector bank had allegedly issued fraudulent Letters of Undertaking to Nirav Modi's companies, resulting in the loss of Rs 6,097 crore to PNB. Nirav Modi is in prison in the United Kingdom, where he is facing extradition proceedings. Nehal Modi and Nirav Modi's uncle Mehul Choksi is also one of the prime accused in the matter. Choksi had fled India for Antigua and Barbuda in January 2018, a few weeks before the fraud came to light. He then secured the citizenship of the Caribbean country.
