The Bhilwara coal furnace case was shocking for the entire Rajasthan. On August 2 last year, after raping a minor girl in Kotri area of Shahpura district, she was burnt to death in a coal furnace. POCSO court in Bhilwara district of Rajasthan has given a big decision in the Kotri coal furnace case. While giving the verdict, the court sentenced both the accused Kallu and Kanha to death.

In the famous Bhilwara coal furnace case of the Kotri area in Rajasthan, POCSO Court-2 has sentenced death sentence to Kalu, son of Ranganath Kalbeliya and his brother Kananath, residents of Dooni (Deoli) Hall Taswariya. The court has considered this case as rare of the rare. Earlier, the court had declared both of them guilty in this heinous case. The court had convicted two real brothers after a trial of nine and a half months. Hearing on punishment was held under various sections including murder, gang rape, destruction of evidence, and POCSO Act.

Judge Anil Kumar Gupta of POCSO court number two has sentenced both the accused to death. Seven members of their family were acquitted due to lack of evidence. On the other hand, the government will appeal in the High Court against the acquittal of seven people.

What was the Bhilwara furnace case?

On August 2, 2023, a girl from the Kotri area went to the farm to graze goats. There Kalu and his brother Kana raped her. Afterwards, they hit her on the head with a stick and gagged her. Thinking her dead, she was picked up from the field and brought to the camp. After dark at night, the girl was burnt alive in a coal furnace.

Nine people were arrested in the case. Three child molesters were also arrested. Additionally, the police had presented the challan against the accused within a month. Several reports, including that of FSL, were presented as evidence.

The parents of the victim appealed to the judge

The family members of the victim girl were present in the court during the verdict. The victim’s mother and father started crying bitterly in the courtroom. They told the judge that this daughter was yours. Moreover, they appealed to the judge to sentence the culprits to death.

CM Bhajanlal Sharma and Former CM Ashok Gehlot welcomed the verdict

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has welcomed the court’s decision to award the death penalty to the culprits in the case of gang rape and murder of a minor in Kotri, Bhilwara. After the decision in this matter on Monday, Bhajanlal Sharma termed it as welcome and said that today during the successful tenure of the double-engine government of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), there is a policy of zero tolerance against crimes against girls in the state. He said that today there is no place for crime and criminals in Rajasthan and if anyone dares to commit a crime, he will not be spared at any cost.

Former Chief Minister of Rajasthan and veteran Congress leader Ashok Gehlot also said that the court’s decision to give the death penalty to the culprits in the case of rape and murder of a girl in Kotri is welcome. After this decision, Ashok Gehlot said through social media that at that time our government had taken action against the accused in this incident and arrested them immediately. Moreover, at that time ADG Crime was sent to the spot and the case was taken up under the Case Officer Scheme. Furthermore, the charge sheet of this case was filed within about a month. Today, within about 10 months, these culprits have been sentenced.

Swati Maliwal accuses Kejriwal of assaulting her

Swati Maliwal has accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of assaulting her that too in the Delhi CM house. Later she accused Kejriwal’s private secretary (PA) Bibhav Kumar of allegedly assaulting her. It’s a pretty serious allegation, and I’m sure many people are curious to know more about what happened.

Who is Swati Maliwal?

Swati Maliwal is an Indian activist known for her work in the field of women’s rights and social justice. She has been associated with various campaigns and initiatives aimed at combating issues such as gender-based violence, sexual harassment, and discrimination against women.

Delhi Women’s Commission Chairperson Swati Maliwal has in the past also accused her father of sexually abusing and beating her in her childhood. Moreover, she has divorced her husband Naveen. Swati Maliwal is also a Senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP.

Maliwal gained significant attention during her tenure as the Chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW), where she actively advocated for stronger laws and policies to protect women and girls. Furthermore, under her leadership, the DCW conducted numerous investigations into cases of violence against women and provided support to victims. Maliwal’s work has made her a prominent figure in the fight for women’s rights in India.

Delhi Police received a call from Swati Maliwal

Senior AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal has accused CM Arvind Kejriwal’s secretary (PA) Bibhav Kumar of allegedly assaulting her. It is being told that Swati has called Delhi Police. When the police team reached Delhi CM Kejriwal’s house Swati left CM’s house and reached the police station.

The police control room received a call around 9:30 am on Monday. In this, the caller said I am Swati Maliwal. The CM and his PA beat him up in the CM House. After this, in another call, while correcting, it was told that on the instructions of the Chief Minister, his PA Bibhav had assaulted me. According to the information received, altogether 2 PCR calls have been made. The first call was made at 9:31 and the second call was made at 9:39.

Delhi Police engaged in investigation

Giving information about this matter, Delhi Police has said that the call was made by Swati Maliwal only. Moreover, the call was made twice. Swati had made both the calls from her phone number. Police say that Swati had come to the Civil Line police station, and she told them about the incident. Swati Maliwal said that she would give a written complaint later. At present the matter is being investigated.

It is well known that Kejriwal and Swati Maliwal are old friends, very close and trusted colleagues. After Kejriwal was released from jail, Swati went to his home to meet him. However, Kejriwal’s PA slapped Swati. Therefore, it is a big deal for Kejriwal’s PA to attack him. What could be the possible reasons? Raising big questions about the reason. Is there some family reason?

BJP attacked Kejriwal

In this matter, the Bharatiya Janata Party has attacked CM Kejriwal.

BJP National Secretary, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, has launched a scathing attack on Kejriwal, accusing him of ordering the beating of AAP’s female Rajya Sabha MP, Swati Maliwal. According to Sirsa, there is sensational news coming from Arvind Kejriwal’s house that suggests that he instructed his PA, Vibhav, to arrange for Maliwal to be physically assaulted.

Delhi State President of the BJP Virendra Sachdeva posted on X. He said that the information is being received that Swati Maliwal was attacked at the behest of Kejriwal because Swati was asking Kejriwal some such questions which he did not want to answer. Kejriwal who talks about women’s safety, even his female MPs are not safe from him. I strongly condemn this attack on a female MP.

Chhattisgarh High Court said Live-in Relationship is a Stigma

Chhattisgarh High Court, during the hearing of a case, said that the concept of live-in relationships remains a stigma in Indian culture. Because it is against traditional Indian beliefs. Justice Gautam Bhaduri and Justice Sanjay S. Aggarwal’s division bench said that this is Western civilization, which is contrary to the general expectations of Indian principles. The rules of personal law cannot be applied in any court unless they are presented and recognized as customary practices.

The bench of Chhattisgarh High Court was hearing the petition of Abdul Hameed Siddiqui (43), a resident of Dantewada. He was in a live-in relationship with a woman (36) of a different religion. Both have a child. Later the woman separated.

He argued that according to Muslim law, he had the right to perform multiple marriages. His live-in partner opposed his claim for custody of the child.

Delete America a Secret Mission of China leaked

Delete America” is a drive by the Chinese government to reduce the country’s reliance on U.S. technology. The Chinese government’s 2022 directive, also known as Document 79, aims to replace foreign-owned IT software in state-owned companies with Chinese alternatives.

America banned the Tik Tok App which is certainly another example of a data war between the world’s two largest economies. But in the era of the increasing influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), it cannot be considered the last. Both countries are rapidly moving forward on the policy of self-reliance and security in the data sector. America implemented a rule of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s rulebook on Dragon’s company TikTok.

What is Delete America?

For years, China has been following the policy of building The Great Firewall in the field of the Internet. Moreover, according to a recently leaked Chinese document ‘Document 79’, Xi Jinping has planned to replace all American tech companies with Chinese alternatives. Orders have been given, especially in the field of data-sensitive software, the target has been set for this till 2027. This is being called the ‘Delete America’ mission.

Under this mission, software from Chinese companies is to be used instead of American software like Microsoft Oracle etc. This software is installed in all sectors like the Army, Trade, Finance, Port etc. Not only this, China has already implemented it in the field of hardware. For that reason, there has been a huge decline in the demand for companies like IBM, Cisco and Dell in China.

Restrictions on Apple and Tesla in China

A complex network of permissions exists in China to prevent data from leaving the country. Tesla and Apple face data storage and device restrictions in Chinese government establishments. The use of Tesla vehicles on government premises is limited and prohibited. Last week, Apple had to remove Meta Company’s WhatsApp and Threads apps from its Play Store. Recently, Tesla was allowed to test its auto-drive vehicles only if it used the Chinese navigation app Baidu.

America Counter to the “Delete America” Mission of China

Not only apps like TikTok, which has 170 million users in America, are being banned due to data security. Many other Chinese companies are also on the radar of the Biden administration.

These Chinese companies are also America’s target

Ban on remote sensing technology:

America recently banned the Lidar remote sensing technology of the Chinese company Hesai Group in America. The company, banned over allegations of links with the Chinese military, has threatened to take the matter to court.

Eye on EV vehicles:

China’s largest electric vehicle company Bide has not been able to establish much presence in America despite all efforts. Despite this, the US is considering imposing a ban on the company from bringing its vehicles and equipment into the US through Mexico.

The biotic company suffered a loss of billions:

Shanghai-based biotech Chinese companies Wuxi Apptech and Wuxi Biologics suffered a loss of $ 21 billion in the US stock market last month. US lawmakers demanded a ban on Chinese companies because they are obtaining genetic information from Americans.

Moreover, in February, the Biden government announced a $20 billion investment in port security. It is in the face of threats from Chinese company Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries.

ED has recovered crores from the servant of PS of Jharkhand Minister

ED arrested the Chief Engineer of Jharkhand Rural Development Department, Virendra K. Ram in a money laundering case in February last year.

According to the information, property worth Rs 150 crore was found at Virendra’s place. Apart from this, gold jewellery worth two crores was also recovered. ED also recovered a laptop and some pen drives from Virendra Ram. ED had started raiding 24 locations of Virendra on February 21 last year which ended on February 22. Virendra Ram was interrogated by the agency for two days based on the documents recovered from him during this raid.

The ED had told the court that an investigation of the bank accounts of Virendra and his family revealed money disproportionate to their legal sources of income. It is alleged that Ram acquired movable and immovable properties in the name of his father, wife and other family members. This wealth is not in proportion to the family income. A complaint in a money laundering case was filed against Virendra Ram in September 2020.

ED Raid is going on

After a long interrogation, Virendra Ram had revealed his relations with many big people before the ED. Now ED conducted raids in various areas of Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand. In the Virendra Ram case, a huge amount of cash was recovered from the domestic servant of Sanjeev Lal who is the personal secretary of Jharkhand Rural Development Minister Alamgir Alam. Counting is going on and it is estimated that the cash will be more than 25 crore.
