Clash over Ambedkar songs at Dalit wedding procession in Mathura; 2 hurt
Agra: A violent clash involving stone-pelting and physical assault broke out on Saturday evening in Mathura during the wedding procession of two Dalit grooms, allegedly over DJ music featuring songs dedicated to BR Ambedkar and those "glorifying" the Jatav community. Police said the incident occurred between 6:30 and 7:30 pm in Dahrua village under Jamunapar police station limits. According to the FIR filed by Devendra Kumar, cousin of the grooms Ram Kumar (22) and Saurabh Kumar (23), "In the wedding procession, the DJ was playing songs praising the Jatav community. Some members of the Thakur community objected to the songs and started pelting stones and hurling abuses." The objection quickly escalated into a physical altercation, in which two people sustained minor injuries. Local police rushed to the spot and brought the situation under control. Jamunapar SHO Ajay Kishore said, "An FIR has been filed in connection with the matter under BNS sections 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt), 352 (assault or criminal force), 351(3) (criminal intimidation), 125 (endangering life or personal safety of others), and relevant provisions of the SC/ST Act against three people." DSP Sandeep Singh of Mathura's Sadar area added, "I am investigating this case. Prima facie, we have found that the issue was with the DJ playing the songs, not with the people in the wedding procession. Two people have been detained for questioning and the probe is ongoing."

Former train vendor poses as TTE, earns up to Rs 10k per day from ticket-less travellers
Agra: A 40-year-old man, who was earlier a bottled water vendor on trains, was arrested by a Govt Railway Police (GRP) team at Aligarh railway station on Saturday evening for allegedly impersonating as a travelling ticket examiner (TTE) and charging hefty amounts from unsuspecting ticket-less passengers. Devendra Kumar, who hails from Saharanpur and was currently residing in Ghaziabad, was found posing as a TTE -- complete with the black coat and trousers worn by the ticket examiners. Officials found several tickets on him while he was 'checking' passengers on Gomti Express. Police said Kumar used to purchase general coach tickets in bulk and board long-distance trains to sell them to passengers found without tickets — as "part of an official checking drive". He used to mainly target those who were "less-educated and hailing from rural areas", police added. During interrogation, he revealed that he was earlier a vendor selling bottled water on trains plying between Haridwar and Bengaluru. But once his contract ended a year ago, he became jobless, and thereafter devised a plan to "earn quick money". A GRP official, privy to the case, said Kumar would charge "penalties" or sell passengers pre-purchased tickets, making Rs 7,000 to Rs 10,000 daily. He added Kumar was being followed by a RPF-GRP team while he was duping passengers on board the Gomti Express. He was arrested in Aligarh after "he failed to provide a valid id such as the documentation proving his employment with the Indian Railways and any explanation for his action". SHO of GRP thana in Aligarh, Sandeep Tomar, said, "A case under BNS sections 319-2 (deceiving someone by pretending to be another person) and 318-2 (cheating) was registered and the accused was sent to jail on Sunday. An investigation is on to find out how long he had been cheating people and whether he was operating on his own."
