Team formed to arrest son of Patna mayor: SSP
Patna: Senior superintendent of police (SSP), Patna, Kartikeya K Sharma, said on Monday that a police team has been formed to arrest Patna mayor Sita Sahu's son, Shishir Kumar, for allegedly abusing and threatening the councillors during July 11 general body meeting of the Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC). A case was recently registered against Shishir at Gandhi Maidan police station based on the statement of ward councillor Jeet Kumar. Talking to reporters, the SSP said the police are actively working and he will be arrested soon. "The charges in case filed against Shishir includes that of interfering in govt work, physical assault, and several other allegations. The move to arrest him has been prompted considering his criminal history, the gravity of recent accusations and also chances that he could intimidate the councillor again. He has been evading arrest after the police went to his residence on Sunday morning. Different teams are conducting raids for his arrest," he said. Gandhi Maidan police, along with different police teams, went to the mayor's residence in the Alamganj police station area for his arrest on Sunday. However, the locals staged a protest. Taking advantage of the situation, Shishir escaped from the house. The SSP said investigations are underway regarding non-cooperation of the mayor during the police's visit to her residence. The controversy started after the mayor's son brought bouncers and weapons during the ninth general body meeting of the PMC, which was held on July 11. PMC commissioner, Animesh Kumar Parashar, said Shishir was trying to scare the councillors for passing three proposals without prior discussions. One of the proposals is the reinstatement of a private firm for smart parking operations. The company was terminated following illegal activities. According to the police, the licence of the weapon of Shishir will be cancelled, and the arms of the bodyguards who used to accompany him will also be verified. In the last two years, about four cases of Arms Act, intimidation, and attempt to murder were registered against Shishir in different police stations of Patna.

Allahabad HC allows withdrawal of PIL seeking cancellation of Rahul Gandhi's citizenship
The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad high court has dismissed as withdrawn a fresh public interest litigation (PIL) filed by BJP worker S Vignesh Shishir from Karnataka, who sought the cancellation of Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi's Indian citizenship. The plea also sought a ban on Gandhi's foreign travel during the pendency of the alleged citizenship issue. A Division Bench comprising Justice A R Masoodi and Justice Ajai Kumar Srivastava passed the order on Wednesday. This was the third petition moved by the same petitioner raising questions over Gandhi's citizenship status. Shishir's earlier two petitions had also been dismissed by the court. In its latest order, the bench permitted the petitioner to withdraw the present petition with the liberty to file a review of the court's earlier decision dated May 5, 2025. The bench observed that the petitioner had made a representation to the central government on the issue. 'The court cannot enter into the arena unless something legally justified is placed before it,' the bench noted. During the hearing, the petitioner alleged that Rahul Gandhi entered Vietnam using a British passport and claimed that the United Kingdom's government had sent the said passport to the Indian authorities. 'I have 200 pages to show Gandhi is a citizen of the UK,' Shishir told the court. However, the court expressed dissatisfaction with the arguments and declined to entertain the petition. 'Dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to file a review of the previous order (May 5),' the bench ordered. On May 5, 2025, the court disposed of Shishir's second petition, which alleged that Gandhi holds dual citizenship. At the time, the court had granted the petitioner the option to explore alternative legal remedies.
