Jharkhand Cong initiates process to set up panchayat-level committees
Ranchi, Jul 19 (PTI) Jharkhand Congress president Keshav Mahto Kamlesh on Saturday said the party has initiated a process to set up committees at the panchayat level. He said block-level committees have already been set up. 'There will be 12 members in a panchayat committee, comprising president, two vice presidents and nine general secretaries," Kamlesh said, addressing the party's 'Sangathan Srijan Abhiyan' (organisation rejuvenation campaign) and training programme here. Kamlesh said mandal committees will also be set up once the exercise of constituting panchayat committees is completed, as the president of the panchayat committee will be a member of the mandal committee. The event was attended by block presidents, block observers and mandal presidents of Ranchi and Khunti districts, besides senior party leaders and state ministers. The party's appointment letters were also handed over to the newly appointed mandal presidents on the occasion. 'The block presidents, observers and mandal presidents will visit villages and speak to the people and elected members of panchayat committees to know about the issues. Constituting a panchayat committee is a tough task, as we have to find persons who are fully devoted to the Congress," he said. 'We held a workshop on PESA in Ranchi. A model PESA law will be implemented," he added. Kamlesh said that the party is also fighting for the inclusion of Sarna religious code in the upcoming Census.

13-yr-old's deposition leads to conviction in uncle's murder
Nagpur: A 13-year-old girl's testimony proved pivotal in securing justice in the brutal murder case of her late maternal uncle, Kamlesh alias Golu Sahare. Special judge JA Shaikh on Tuesday sentenced two brothers, Dipak Galgat and Ujwal Galgat, to life imprisonment and fined Rs10,000 each for the murder under Section 302 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now On August 18, 2021, around 7.15pm, Kamlesh, a 26-year-old resident of Gaddigodam, was fatally attacked while visiting his sister, Ashwini William Francis, in Mhada Colony. Dipak (20) and Ujwal (18), along with a third accomplice, Sahil Khan, allegedly assaulted Kamlesh after a dispute involving the molestation of his minor sister. As per the prosecution, Dipak struck Kamlesh on the head with a baseball bat, while Ujwal stabbed him in the stomach with a knife. Sahil restrained Kamlesh during the attack. Kamlesh was rushed to Mayo Hospital where he was declared dead. The prosecution's case was bolstered by the deposition of the 13-year-old niece of the deceased. Her statement, recorded under Section 164 of the CrPC, provided a chilling eyewitness account of the crime, detailing how the accused conspired to kill Kamlesh, said addl public prosecutor Prashant Sakhare. The teen's testimony, combined with forensic evidence like blood samples, a seized knife, and a baseball bat, solidified the case against the accused. The court also noted the applicability of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 2015, under Sections 3(2)(v) and 3(2)(va) was weak and acquitted the accused of the charges. The investigation, led by assistant commissioner of police Roshan Pandit, revealed a premeditated attack driven by caste-based animosity. The court, while acknowledging the severity of the crime, opted for life imprisonment over death penalty, citing the possibility of rehabilitation for the young accused.
