Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Minority leader Nazia Elahi on Sunday, February 23, released a video statement on social media where she claimed that she and her friends were aggressively chased and brutally attacked by Muslims while on their way to Maha Kumbh. However, the police rubbished her claims. In her post, Nazia Elahi stated that after attending a meeting in Delhi, she left for the Ganga Snan at Maha Kumbh. She claimed that she was followed by a few individuals when she reached Etah. Accompanying her were YouTuber Priya Chaturvedi and a young girl. She further alleged that the people following her crashed into her car, causing a serious accident. According to her, Priya sustained serious injuries and was rushed to the hospital for treatment. Nazia also mentioned that she injured her hand and appealed for public support, alleging that she was the primary target, but Priya intervened and got injured instead. Following an investigation, Kanpur Police issued a statement clarifying that the accident occurred because the driver fell asleep while driving. "No communal attack took place and the accusations made by Elahi were totally baseless and aimed at inciting communal hatred," said police. The police urged Nazia not to propagate misleading claims and refrain from spreading misinformation on social media. When police asked the driver to submit a written complaint for further legal proceedings, the driver refused to file any complaint. Subsequently, the local police arranged an alternative vehicle for the passengers and ensured that everyone reached their destinations safely.

After a Gurugram-based doctor took to X to complain about his Apple watch being stolen at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) rubbished his claims and said CCTV footage showed that the man wearing the watch on his wrist after completing security check. In a long post on X, the doctor claimed that he had taken off his Apple Watch and placed it on a tray before going in for the security check. After the security check, he could not find his watch on the tray. When he complained, he was asked to check his bags again; but in the meanwhile, he saw a man looking at him suspiciously and hurrying away, he claimed. He identified the man as Md Saqib. The post soon went viral on social media. The CISF, after checking CCTV footage, posted a reply to Mr Mehta that nothing of the sort that he narrated happened. "The review of the CCTV has contradicted the sequence of events as narrated above. After security check, you were seen wearing your watch and heading for boarding gate without interaction with any CISF personnel. The boarding was completed smoothly and hassle-free," the CISF said. While the doctor deleted his post and his account on X, some of the right-wing portals continued to display the story without mentioning the twist in the tail and without giving due acknowledgment to the CISFs' investigation. It is learned that the CISF and the Delhi International Airport Limited were contemplating filing a police complaint in the matter against the miscreant. . . . #india #delhi #gurugram #doctor #cisf #delhiairport #airport #applewatch #news #politics

Maharashtra’s biggest industrial land parcel measuring over 5,286 acres – at a strategic location close to the Navi Mumbai Airport, JNPT and the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) project – has been sold to Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) at a valuation of just Rs 2,200 crore i.e. just Rs 97.11 for one sq feet. Anand Jain-promoted Jai Corp Ltd informed the stock exchange that Urban Infrastructure Holdings Pvt Ltd (UIHPL), a firm in which his company holds 32%, is convening an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of shareholders to approve the capital reduction proposed by the company.

Corruption in Temples: A Call for Equality In a recent discussion, I addressed the issue of discrimination within certain religious institutions, specifically temples. The question arises: do deities prioritize those who offer larger monetary contributions? Does the proximity to the divine become contingent upon the size of one's offering? This practice raises concerns about the commercialization of religious experiences and the potential for corruption within sacred spaces. I salute the bravery of individuals who advocate for greater equality within these institutions. #TempleEquality #EndTempleCorruption #ReligiousEquality #DarshanForAll #NoDiscriminationInTemples #SpiritualAccessForAll #ReformTemplePractices #SacredSpacesForAll #FightForFairness #JusticeInTemples

I do not trust my government because of several reasons. One such reason is that they try to hide information. Someone filed an RTI application to seek information regarding the price of the gift which PM Modi gave to the wife of US President. The government made excuses for not giving the information and finally we got the information because Biden had to declare this information as per the Federal Law in US. Similarly, government is not providing information regarding PM Cares Fund. Indian Government also does not want information related to Adani in public. That is the reason the government is not constituting Joint Parliamentary Committee.
