"Hindus Became Poor Under BJP Rule": Mehbooba Mufti

People's Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the BJP and alleged that the party does not want to build a nation but only intends to make India a "BJP Rashtra", adding that 26 crore people who were lifted above the poverty line during the UPA regime have been pushed back in the Below Poverty Line (BPL) category.

The PDP chief alleged that the BJP considers Jammu and Kashmir its "laboratory" where it conducts "experiments". She alleged that the Hindus have become poor under the BJP regime.

"The BJP sold the entire country including Railways, airports, and banks. This is not nationalism. They only talk about Hindu-Muslim. During the UPA regime, 26 crore people were lifted above the Poverty Line, the BJP again pushed them back to BPL, are they all Muslims? Are only Muslims the victims of the drug menace in J-K?" she said.

"Jammu and Kashmir is a laboratory. Experiments are conducted here. The practical begins here and then they execute it in the entire country. I want to tell the people of Jammu, if they try to show you that they are after the Muslims, you should come out of these dreams. They tell you that they want to build a nation. They do not want to build any nation, they want to make a BJP Rashtra," Ms Mufti added.

Referring to the demolition drive in Kashmir, the PDP chief said that the houses of not only Muslims but also Hindus are being brought down.

"Are only the Muslims affected by the demolition drive of the houses? They have made 80 crore people so poor that they have to give them 5 kg of rice for free. Are these for Muslims? These are the Hindus who have become poor. The marginalised have become more poor that they are incapable of purchasing their ration," Ms Mufti said.

"Those who will be against them, their condition would be made worse than the Muslims. I want to give a message to the Jammu people to wake up and be cautious," she added.

Lashing out at the BJP further, she alleged that the BJP "changed" the demography of Jammu. Mufti asked why the top posts in the region are not filled with Dogras.

"Jammu's demography has changed. Where are the Dogras? Why isn't our Governor (LG) from the Dogra community? Why aren't those at important posts like DG and SP from Jammu?" she asked.

The former Chief Minister also remarked on the appointment of retired Supreme Court judge Justice Abdul Nazeer as the Andhra Pradesh Governor and asked "where is the Judiciary?"

"What is the condition of the Supreme Court? As soon as the judges retire who gave verdicts on Ayodhya, triple talaq or demonetisation, are made the Governor, Rajya Sabha member or given some other posts. Where is the judiciary?" she asked.

Justice Nazeer (retd.) who retired as a judge of the Supreme Court on January 4, 2023, was a part of many landmark judgments including the Triple Talaq case, the Ayodhya-Babri Masjid dispute case, the demonetisation case and a judgment which held that the 'right to privacy' is a fundamental right.

Gujarat Doctor Found Hanging, Son Accuses MP Of Issuing Threat: Cops

Days after a doctor from Veraval town in Gujarat's Gir Somnath district died allegedly by suicide, his son submitted an application to the police seeking registration of an FIR against a Member of Parliament and the lawmaker's father for “threatening” the medical practitioner and usurping nearly Rs 1.75 crore.

The Veraval City police station accepted the application by Dr Atul Chag's son Hitarth on Friday, and started further investigation into the case, said Superintendent of Police Manoharsinh Jadeja.

Dr Chag, an MD Physician, was a well-known doctor of the Veraval region. He was found hanging from the ceiling fan of his hospital in the town on February 12. Police had found a one-line suicide note blaming the MP and his father.

While his family had claimed at that time that the note was indeed written by Dr Chag, police had said it had been sent for forensic analysis to ascertain its authenticity.

On Friday, Dr Chag's only son Hitarth approached the Veraval police station and submitted an application seeking registration of FIR against the lawmaker and his father under Indian Penal Code sections including 306 (abetment of suicide), 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 506-2 (criminal intimidation).

As per the application, the MP and his father had a close relationship with Dr Chag for the last 20 years and the duo had borrowed nearly Rs 1.75 crore from the doctor in instalments since 2008 by winning his trust.

According to Hitarth, the MP's father had given four blank cheques to Dr Chag to win his trust. When the duo stopped responding to Dr Chag's repeated requests to return the money, the latter deposited one of the cheques of Rs 90 lakh in the bank but it was dishonoured, Hitarth said in his application.

When Dr Chag sought an explanation, the duo allegedly warned him of “dire consequences” and also threatened to abduct his only son. According to Hitarth, the MP had openly threatened his late father saying that nothing would happen to him as he is a lawmaker.

Days before the suicide, the duo had verbally abused Dr Chag and had also threatened to kill him and his son Hitarth for demanding the money back, as per the application.

The threat and the thought of losing money deeply upset the doctor, as per his son.

Hitarth further said that the note found by police on February 12 was indeed written by his father and his father took the extreme step out of shock and fear.

Haryana Cops Use Interpol's Format To Identify Man Found Dead In Croatia

In a first, the Haryana Police have identified a Kurukshetra man whose body was found in Croatia through DNA matching using the Interpol's standardised digital format, officials said on Saturday.

The body was identified as that of Parminder Singh, they said. In a statement, the police said this is the first time that a case of DNA matching has been done using Interpol's standardized digital format.

Initially, the Haryana Police had sent a physical DNA sample which could not be sent through the Interpol channels.

Later, the digital format of the DNA profile was collected by the Haryana Police from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory, Chandigarh, which was then transmitted to Croatia using Interpol channels on the same day, police said.

Kurukshetra resident Paramjeet Kaur had lodged a complaint, saying her son Parminder wanted to go to Italy but had instead reached Serbia, police said.

She later came to know that an unidentified body had been found in Croatia, which she suspected to be that of her son, they said.

The complainant expressed apprehension that her son may have been killed for money. Based on the complaint, a case was registered under relevant sections including Section 406 (criminal breach of trust) of the IPC at Pehowa Police Station in April, 2022.

A case was filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court by relatives of Parminder for identification of his body in Croatia.

In compliance with the November 2022 High Court order, the DNA sample of Paramjeet Kaur was sent by the Kurukshetra Police to the CFSL in Chandigarh for DNA profiling, it said.

After completing all the formalities, along with the submission of DNA profile of Paramjeet Kaur, communication was established with the Union Home Ministry, said police.

The Central Bureau of Investigation-International Police Cooperation Unit (CBI-IPCU) filed a status report in the High Court, detailing the communication made with NCB (National Central Bureau) - Zagreb (Croatia) and the steps being taken to identify the subject, the statement said.

The CBI had shared the digital DNA format of Interpol with Haryana Police and obtained a digital DNA format of the blood relative Paramjeet Kaur, the statement said.

The DNA sequence was mailed by NCB-New Delhi to NCB Zagreb (Croatia), police said.

It was matched by Croatian authorities and a positive identification was given on February 13, it said, adding that the information was given to Haryana Police and also to the family members of the man, the statement said.

The NCB - Zagreb (Croatia) informed about the positive identification of the dead body as that of Parminder Singh based on digital DNA profiling, it said.

Though the body has already been buried by the Croatian authorities, the family members will now proceed to claim the body with the assistance of the Government of India, it said.

In this case, the police did not resort to lengthy procedures like MLAT (Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty) or LR (Letter Rogatory) in DNA investigation, officials said.

MK Stalin Condemns Karnataka "Firing" Incident That Killed Tamil Nadu Man

The body of a 40-year-old man who went missing days ago on the inter-state border between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka was found floating on the banks of River Palar on Friday in Erode district, police said.

As villagers alleged he was shot dead by Karnataka forest personnel, tension prevailed in areas including Kolathur bordering the neighbouring State and Tamil Nadu and Karnataka authorities have deployed adequate policemen to maintain law and order. Vehicular traffic movement was also affected for sometime.

Tamil Nadu political parties condemned the 'killing' and sought action against those responsible for it. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin "strongly condemned" the "firing" incident. The deceased man was identified as M Karavadiayan alias Raja and he hailed from Govindapadi village of Kolathur in Salem District, police said adding his kin allege that he was shot dead by Karnataka forest personnel.

Raja was part of a group of 4 men which travelled to a forest area on the Tamil Nadu-Karnataka inter-state border on February 14 and they were fishing in the river.

According to the local people, the allegation levelled by Karnataka personnel was that the group attempted to hunt and poach in the jungle. While he died after he was shot at, others reportedly sustained injuries and fled the spot.

Erode district police said that a probe under the CrPC is on over Raja's suspicious death. A truck driver, Raja faced allegations of hunting wild animals off Bargur and Mettur in Tamil Nadu and along the border with neighbouring Karnataka.

He faced a case in Chamarajanagar district of Karnataka in connection with poaching. Also, a case was pending against him in Kolathur (Salem District) over gambling. On February 14, Raja had been to Chamarajaranagar bordering Tamil Nadu for hunting.

He could have 'accidentally drowned' or may have jumped into the river 'for some other reason,' police said.

It could have happened close to Mettur to Male ahadeshwara hills Road near Palaru River bridge between February 14 and 17. The incident was reported at 3 PM on Friday to the district police.

They declined to specify if Raja drowned after sustaining bullet injuries or if it was only a case of drowning. His body was found floating on the river bank and it was sent to Salem Government Medical College Hospital for autopsy, they said. Bargur police (Erode District) are investigating.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Stalin condoled the death of Karavadiayan and announced Rs 5 lakh as compensation to the family of the deceased.

He referred to the allegations of the victim's relatives about Karnataka Forest personnel shooting him dead.

"I strongly condemn the firing by the Karnataka Forest Department," he said.

The victim's family will be paid the amount from the Chief Minister's relief fund, he said in a statement in Chennai.

Pattali Makkal Katchi leader Anbumani Ramadoss said Raja was shot dead by Karnataka personnel while he was fishing and strongly condemned it. The Rajya Sabha MP said fishing is a routine activity, a source of livelihood and not a crime "The border area with Karnataka is part of India and it is not a border with Sri Lanka or Pakistan." In case, fishing is not permitted in waterbodies on the interstate border, those violating the norm could have been driven away or legal action may have been taken. Killing is a huge crime and unpardonable, he said. This is not the first time Karnataka indulged in opening fire and in 2018, a Tamil Nadu fisherman Palani was shot dead, he said.

In order to divert the issue, the Karnataka Forest department is spreading fake news that Raja opened fire on its personnel and he died in the ensuing clash. A case should be registered and Karnataka forest personnel involved in killing Raja should be arrested, Anbumani said.

He urged the Tamil Nadu government to provide Rs 50 lakh solatium and a government job to one of the family members of the deceased Raja.

CPI State Secretary R Mutharasan said Karnataka 'continued' to carry out such killings and condemned it. He demanded that the incident be probed by authorities and the kin of the deceased should be provided compensation.
