00:01:21External Affairs Minister S.J. Shankar's big message at the UN Security Council.
00:01:26He said, and I quote,
00:01:28The world must come together on some basic concepts.
00:01:31No impunity to terrorists.
00:01:33No treating them as proxies.
00:01:35And no yielding to nuclear blackmail.
00:01:38That's a big message coming to the fore from External Affairs Minister S.J. Shankar,
00:01:43who sent out this message at the UN Security Council,
00:01:46saying that the world must come together on some basic concepts,
00:01:49which include no impunity to terrorists,
00:01:53no treating them as proxies,
00:01:54and also no yielding to nuclear blackmail.
00:01:58That's the message that External Affairs Minister S.J. Shankar has sent out
00:02:02just a month after Operation Sindhu at the UN Security Council,
00:02:07saying that the world must come together on terrorism.
00:02:12There should be zero tolerance for terrorism,
00:02:14no impunity to terrorists,
00:02:16no treating them as proxies,
00:02:18and not even yielding to nuclear blackmail.
00:02:21Five weeks ago,
00:02:26the United Nations Security Council
00:02:28issued a strong condemnation
00:02:30of a particularly horrific act of terrorism in Palgaon.
00:02:36It demanded that its perpetrators be held accountable
00:02:39and brought to justice.
00:02:42We have since seen that happen.
00:02:44What that response underlines
00:02:46is a larger significance
00:02:48of the message of zero tolerance for terrorism.
00:02:54The world must come together
00:02:56on some basic concepts,
00:02:58no impunity to terrorists,
00:03:01no treating them as proxies,
00:03:04and no yielding to nuclear blackmail.
00:03:07Any state sponsorship
00:03:08must be exposed and must be counted.
00:03:12By now,
00:03:13we know well
00:03:14that terrorism anywhere
00:03:16is a threat to peace everywhere.
00:03:20India Today Global's Praneo Padia
00:03:22is now joining us with more details.
00:03:23Prane,
00:03:24S.J. Shankar has sent out a strong message
00:03:26regarding zero tolerance against terrorism
00:03:29and also saying that
00:03:30we should not yield to nuclear blackmail.
00:03:36Absolutely right, Anjali.
00:03:37The Prime Minister
00:03:38is in the United States
00:03:40for the quad Foreign Minister's meeting
00:03:42and he started his tour
00:03:44with this important message.
00:03:47He was speaking at the inauguration
00:03:49of the exhibition
00:03:50on the human cost of terrorism
00:03:52at UN headquarter
00:03:54and this exhibition
00:03:55is organized by
00:03:56India's permanent mission
00:03:57in the United Nations.
00:03:59And this is a big message
00:04:00India has given out
00:04:01like in a course of Operation Sindhuur
00:04:03and like in a course
00:04:05of the Algamum terror attack.
00:04:06India is giving out this message
00:04:08to the global community
00:04:09that terrorism is a menace
00:04:11and there cannot be double standards
00:04:13against terrorism
00:04:14and while dealing with terrorism
00:04:15every country has been
00:04:17victim of terrorism
00:04:18including the United States.
00:04:20So therefore
00:04:20United States should also
00:04:22exercise
00:04:24not only caution
00:04:25but exercise
00:04:26the policy of zero tolerance
00:04:28against terrorism
00:04:29and as far as India's case is concerned
00:04:31there cannot be double standards
00:04:33as far as India's case is concerned
00:04:35we exercise
00:04:35the policy of zero tolerance
00:04:38against terrorism
00:04:38and the new red line
00:04:40which has been drawn
00:04:41by Operation Sindhuur
00:04:42is that any act of terror
00:04:44will be treated
00:04:45as you know
00:04:47an act of war
00:04:48and we cannot let
00:04:50terrorism
00:04:51the perpetrators of terrorism
00:04:53those who harbor terrorism
00:04:54and those who exercise
00:04:55you know
00:04:56terrorism
00:04:56as a policy
00:04:57as a tool
00:04:58of their own state policy
00:05:00and statecraft
00:05:00to go with impunity.
00:05:02So this is a big message
00:05:04and he has given
00:05:05from the US soil
00:05:06so definitely
00:05:07the tone of his meeting
00:05:09and his engagement
00:05:10on the US soil
00:05:12has already been set.
00:05:15Absolutely Pranay

00:05:16for all those details
00:05:17and for that context

00:13:12Thank you very much.
00:13:14Thank you very much.
00:13:16And India Today's Rajdeep Sardisai spoke with Bengal Minister Shashi Panja on the Kolkata rape horror and also the politics behind the case.
00:13:24Listen in.
00:13:25Last year it was RG car in Kolkata government hospital where a rape and a murder of the young woman takes place. This year it is another horrific rape that takes place inside a government law campus.
00:13:41Would you concede that this is hugely embarrassing for a government run by a woman chief minister? Dare I say any chief minister but particularly a woman chief minister in a state like West Bengal?
00:13:52Yes of course we are very aggrieved about this and it's really heart breaking. It's painful and and of course we are not putting anything. We are not defending ourselves. It is just that we are putting trying to put things on record and it's good that Kolkata police swung into action.
00:14:22They could be nabbed. They could be nabbed and they are in police custody. The investigation is on. As of now almost four of them have been arrested and the nine member SIT has been formed and we are extremely serious about this.
00:14:36But ma'am are you aggrieved or embarrassed? Just a minute ma'am. Are you aggrieved or embarrassed at the end of the day?
00:14:43I mean at the end of the day here is a case in this particular instance where the individual who is the main accused Monojeet Mishra is someone who was a member of your Trinamul Chhatra Parishat.
00:14:56There are photographs of him with your leaders. There are posters of him in the college. One of which also had Abhishek Banerjee and Mamata Banerjee in the background while he is addressing students.
00:15:05And so here is someone whom the BJP is saying is directly connected, was protected in a way by the Trinamul and therefore could carry out an act like this with impunity inside a college campus.
00:15:15There was also a time in 2018 when he was expelled and even if you see the last 2022 committee because there have been no elections even after that.
00:15:28In fact even during Covid and after even the 2022 committee which was just a temporary committee does not have his name on it.
00:15:36Nevertheless, he has continued to brazenly say that he was associated with Trinamul Congress which I think is one of the fallout or I would say people try to associate themselves with the ruling party.
00:15:52We are absolutely disgusted with him and I think we have disowned him long time back and he was not in the committee.
00:16:01Amid vows of fair probe, blame game and the politics over the Kolkata student rape horror rages.
00:16:09But amid this, the victim awaits justice and now the probe has revealed that the attack was premeditated and also planned out by the accused who have a history of sexual assault.
00:16:21India Today gets us this report.
00:16:31The shocking assault and rape of a student inside a government law college in Kolkata has left the nation shocked and enraged.
00:16:45Now the nine-member SIT probe has revealed chilling details of the assault.
00:16:51Police sources claim the survivor was allegedly targeted by the three suspects from the day of admission and plotted to assault her.
00:16:59The accused, Manojit Mishra, Prateem Mukherjee and Zaid Ahmed have a history of sexually harassing female students.
00:17:09They allegedly recorded their attacks on mobile phones and used them to blackmail their victims.
00:17:15The police are now stepping up efforts to collect the evidence.
00:17:18They have carried out searches at the residences of Prateem Mukherjee and Zaid Ahmed in an attempt to locate the videos.
00:17:25The police suspect the videos have been shared with others.
00:17:30The investigator have seized key evidence including CCTV of the survivor being dragged to the guard room.
00:17:36Accused Manojit Mishra's clothes, hair strands and DNA samples that she fought against a rapist.
00:17:43The hockey stick used in the attack and her medical report.
00:17:46The police has done or taken steps, everything on time.
00:17:53Those three guys have been nabbed and investigation is on.
00:17:56The victim statements have been taken.
00:17:58The mobiles have been seized.
00:18:00There is a nine-member SIT team which has been formed.
00:18:03So there is no escape.
00:18:06The National Commission for Women has raised concerns over the investigation and claims
00:18:11their members were denied access to the survivor and the crime scene.
00:18:16The crime scene is a crime scene where the girl's gang raped.
00:18:22Along with that place, there is a college, an institution.
00:18:27There is a lot of place, a lot of place, a lot of place, a lot of place, a 7-study building on the stairs.
00:18:33There is a lot of access under lock-and-key.
00:18:36Now, there is no place where you can go.
00:18:38You have to come here and you have to come here and you have to come here.
00:18:40There is no access where you have to come here.
00:18:41You have to come here and you have to come here and you have to come here.
00:18:45So, this is not right.
00:18:48What is the use of the use of the use of the government?
00:18:49What do you want to hide? I don't know.
00:18:51As the investigation continues, the question remains, is India failing to protect its women?
00:18:58With Indrajit Kundu in Kolkata, Bureau Report, India Today.
00:19:06And now shifting our focus to the state of Tilangana, where it's a big setback for the BJP.
00:19:11Tilangana BJP's controversial leader, T. Raja, has resigned from the party, expressing strong disappointment over state leadership.
00:19:18In his resignation letter to the current Tilangana BJP chief, G. Kishan Reddy, the Ghoshamahal MLA has lodged strong protest after several reports claimed that the Saffron Party has chosen N. Ramchandra Rao as the next state chief.
00:19:33Raja has claimed that the decision to make Ramchandra as the new state boss has come as a shock to not just him, but also lacks of BJP workers.
00:19:43He has also asserted that for most leaders, self-interest trumps BJP's cause and that the party needs a strong leadership in the state.
00:19:5166-year-old Ramchandra Rao is a high court lawyer and a former Tilangana MLC from 2015 to 2021.
00:19:58He has been associated with the BJP for over four decades and also headed BJP's Hyderabad unit in the past.
00:20:05It is being said that the central leadership has cleared his name and he will most likely face no one in the race and will be elected unanimously today.
00:20:14We will do the same thing as the President doesn't do any work or do any pressure.
00:20:24We will say that the President will do any work.
00:20:27If you are saying that the President will do any work, sit and sit and sit.
00:20:28If you are saying that the President will do any work in the party, no one will do any work in the party.
00:20:33We will do any work in the party.

00:27:05and has also urged action over this
00:27:07And top Babu was beaten up inside the civic body premises
00:27:13So this breaking news coming to the fore from Odisha
00:27:15Where an officer was assaulted and it was caught on camera as well
00:27:21The officer was punched, kicked and dragged out of the building
00:27:26As you can see in this visuals on your screens right now
00:27:29Six attackers stormed the civic body office
00:27:31And this attack has been condemned by the ex-chief minister of Odisha as well
00:27:37And he has urged for action
00:27:38Now this top officer was beaten up inside the civic body premises
00:27:43In which six attackers barged in
00:27:45And as you can see in the visuals
00:27:47The officer was attacked inside the premises of the civic body office
00:27:52And the entire incident was caught on camera
00:27:56And these are the visuals of this particular attack
00:27:58that is being reported from Odisha's Rubaneshwar
00:28:01Where an officer was assaulted by six attackers inside the civic body premises
00:28:07This was a lack of strong and solidity
00:28:09As you can see in the history of the entire planet
00:28:10And this will return on the fire
00:28:29But instead, you have to do another fight
00:28:32And my colleague Anupam Mishra is now joining us with more details on this.
00:28:46Anupam, give us more details about this particular assault
00:28:48that has taken place inside the civic body office.
00:28:50Why were these attackers beating up the officer?
00:28:55Well, this video has gone viral.
00:28:57There's a high drama and show yesterday in the MP office.
00:29:01Ratnakar Sahu, an officer, was beaten and attacked.
00:29:05And when we inquired about the incident, according to Sahu,
00:29:09he was attacked by one PMC corporate, Jeevan Raut.
00:29:14And it happened during the grievance hearing around 11.30 or 12.
00:29:19When five to six people barged into the office and dragged Ratnakar Sahu, beat him.
00:29:26And according to Ratnakar Sahu, the attackers were telling him how he has misbehaved with one BJP leader.
00:29:36That was the initial allegation by Sahu.
00:29:40But the whole incident had snowballed into a political controversy when Biji Jantadal attacked BJP.
00:29:49And it's very rare that Biji Jantadal is attacking BJP on such issues.
00:29:55And Naveen Patnak had also tweeted and posted and said that this is very utterly shocking seeing this video
00:30:04and demanded the action.
00:30:08Although police had arrested three people and are investigating the case.
00:30:13So what action can be expected against these attackers who are attacking an officer,
00:30:19in fact, inside the civic body office itself?
00:30:24Yeah, it's a very unfortunate thing which happened and a very shocking thing which everyone is expressing
00:30:30that how few people passed into a government office and can attack senior officers.
00:30:37So the BNC, the Gobernation Municipal Corporation officers, are also in shock
00:30:45and they also want strict action against these people.
00:30:49Already three people have been arrested.
00:30:51Police have been investigating the case and also trying to nab other people who were there
00:30:58and trying to unnerve the mystery, how these people entered inside the office
00:31:03and why they have attacked Ratnakar Sahu.
00:31:07Right, Anupam, thank you for getting us those details on the shocking incident
00:31:12being reported from Odisha's Bhubaneswar, where a top officer was beaten up by six attackers
00:31:17inside the civic body office.
00:31:28And we're now getting some more breaking news.
00:31:30BJP MP Nishikand Dubey's big allegation on the UPA regime.
00:31:34He says foreign powers dominated the Congress Party's decisions.
00:31:38He also goes on to say that 150 Congress leaders were on Russian payroll and that Congress
00:31:44made policies which suited the foreign governments.
00:31:48He also demands judicial probe under the Supreme Court judge.
00:31:51And he even hit out at Rajiv Gandhi era, saying that India was a playground for Russia and U.S.
00:31:58Stooges.
00:31:59This is what BJP MP Nishikand Dubey has said.
00:32:03Serious allegations being levelled by the BJP MP against the Congress Party and the UPA regime.
00:32:08He said that foreign powers dominated the Congress decisions and that 150 Congress leaders were on Russian payroll.
00:32:16He even said that Congress made policies which suited the foreign governments.
00:32:20In fact, he also slammed the Rajiv Gandhi era, saying that India was a playground for Russia and the United States.
00:32:28He said that the book is a festival.
00:32:35He is looking at books.
00:32:37He is studying and developing things.
00:32:38He is being read and published in the print media.
00:32:40He is being advertised and released by print media.
00:32:42He was given advertisements to all U.S.
00:32:44It was 1.100 people who had 50 KGB of the people who had a hard core and had a post-it.
00:32:53They had a policy, a bureaucracy, a bureaucracy, a bureaucracy, a bureaucrat, a politician, a politician, a politician, a politician, a judiciary.
00:33:06They all had specific agencies that worked for print media or national agencies.
00:33:17They questioned how much funding they had.
00:33:23Communist Party of India, CPM.
00:33:27And they also said that Germany, they have 5,000,000,000 in that era,
00:33:365,000,000 in that era, and then they were able to use the Indo-German Cooperation.
00:33:44This shows that Congress was not in the country, in the violence.
00:33:52My colleague Piyush Mishra is now joining us with more details on this.
00:33:57Piyush, some very serious allegations being levelled by BJP MP Nishikand Dubey
00:34:01in an exclusive conversation with India Today saying that
00:34:05under the UPA regime, foreign powers dominated the decisions
00:34:09and that 150 Congress leaders were on Russian payroll.
00:34:14Well, certainly, Anjaliya, that's a big conversation coming in from BJP MP Nishikand Dubey
00:34:18and remember that he has gone on to say that before 2014,
00:34:21foreign powers used to dominate the decision-making in India
00:34:24and the foreign government used to decide who will become minister in the centre
00:34:27and after making all these allegations, Nishikand Dubey has also demanded that
00:34:32others should be thorough in this, setting the Supreme Court judge should do inquiry of this
00:34:36and a judicial committee should be formed to investigate all the things
00:34:39and people who are on the payroll of the Russian government should be taken to the task.
00:34:45He has added that around 150 congressmen were on Russian payroll,
00:34:49Congress government-made policies which always suited to the foreign government.
00:34:53He also added that during Congress school of people new in advance who would become
00:34:59Home Secretary or Defense Secretary which is the practice which was ended by an R.P.
00:35:04of the name remotely. So, big allegations coming in from BJP will absolutely not just
00:35:07to have the Congress and other political parties are going to react with big allegations
00:35:12of the U.P.A.
00:35:14Right, Piyush. Let's once again listen into what Nishikand Dubey said about the U.P.A. regime.
00:35:19So, they said that book festival is lying, books are coming, books are coming, books are coming,
00:35:27books are coming, print media is coming, print media is coming, print media is coming, advertisement
00:35:31is coming, so it was all US.

00:41:22appointment for Monajit Mishra, the prime
00:41:24accused in the gang rape case
00:41:26Now this letter dated August 30
00:41:282024 confirms
00:41:30that the governing body had approved
00:41:32and authorized the wise principal
00:41:34to issue an appointment letter to
00:41:36Monajit Mishra as an office staff
00:41:38member temporarily. The decision
00:41:40was taken during a governing body meeting
00:41:42and the letter explicitly
00:41:44instructed the wise principal
00:41:46to proceed with issuing the appointment
00:41:48as per
00:41:50rules. So governing body
00:41:52of South Calcutta Law
00:41:54College approved Monajit's appointment
00:41:56and now questions are also being based on
00:41:58Zeb's admission.
00:42:00My colleague Rajesh Saha is now joining us
00:42:02with more details on this. Rajesh
00:42:05as we heard the
00:42:06batchmate of Monajit Mishra mentioning
00:42:08that there has been a history of sex crimes
00:42:11that Monajit has committed
00:42:12in the past as well but the victims could not
00:42:15speak up because of his political clout
00:42:16so despite all those factors
00:42:19Monajit's appointment was approved
00:42:21by the governing body of the South
00:42:22Law
00:42:23Calcutta College.
00:42:26Absolutely and
00:42:27this is why
00:42:28questions are being raised against
00:42:30the college authority and the governing body
00:42:33because despite having several
00:42:35criminal records including
00:42:37the records of
00:42:38police complaint regarding
00:42:41molestation
00:42:42and several
00:42:44complaints
00:42:45were registered at
00:42:48Cosmo police station
00:42:49against this Monajit Mishra
00:42:50despite having several
00:42:51criminal records
00:42:52he was appointed as a
00:42:53contractual staff
00:42:54at the same college
00:42:55by the college authority
00:42:56and captured by the
00:42:58governing body.
00:42:59So the serious allegations
00:43:00are being raised
00:43:00against the governing body
00:43:02also and
00:43:02college authority
00:43:03are also being questioned

00:46:03here is a case
00:46:04in this particular
00:46:05instance
00:46:06where the individual
00:46:07who is the main
00:46:08accused
00:46:08Monojeet
00:46:09Mishra
00:46:09is someone
00:46:10who was a member
00:46:11of your Trinamul
00:46:13Chhatra Parishat
00:46:14there are photographs
00:46:15of him with your
00:46:15leaders
00:46:16there are posters
00:46:17of him in the
00:46:17college
00:46:18one of which
00:46:19also had
00:46:19Abhishek Banerji
00:46:20and Mamta Banerji
00:46:21in the background
00:46:22while he is
00:46:22addressing students
00:46:23so here is someone
00:46:24whom the BJP
00:46:25is saying is
00:46:25directly connected
00:46:26was protected
00:46:27in a way
00:46:28by the Trinamul
00:46:29and therefore
00:46:29could carry out
00:46:30and act like this
00:46:31with impunity
00:46:31inside a college
00:46:32campus
00:46:33no no
00:46:37there was also

00:47:03fallout
00:47:05or I would say
00:47:05you know

00:49:32merit list zeb emma who scored two six three four uh this was his rank uh for the admission uh this
00:49:41is the merit wise list of all the candidates now what the bjp is claiming is that despite uh scoring
00:49:47low and getting a mere rank of two six three four he was allowed admission in the institution whereas
00:49:54other students who scored far better than what zeb emma had scored they were still not allowed
00:50:00admission in the educational institutions a video showing monajeet leading a tmc rally shouting
00:50:07party slogans has also surfaced
00:50:09The BGP is alleging manipulation in the FIR
00:50:38with initials of the accused mismatched.
00:50:41J for Monojeet, M for Zeb, P for Pramit.
00:50:45Is this just another case of sexual violence
00:50:48or a chilling glimpse into how power, politics and privilege
00:50:52can crush justice before it even begins?
00:50:58With Rajesh Shaha and Tapu Sengupta in Kolkata Bureau Report, India Today.
00:51:08And we're now getting some breaking news.
00:51:13Big development in the Tamil Nadu custodial murder case.
00:51:16Cops involved in the custodial death have been arrested.
00:51:19Autopsy shows that Ajith was battered to death.
00:51:23As per the autopsy report, there were wounds on the hand
00:51:26and scratches on the forehead and dried bloodstains on the left ear.
00:51:32So big development as far as the Tamil Nadu custodial murder case is concerned.
00:51:35The cops who were involved in this matter have been arrested
00:51:39and the autopsy report reveals that Ajith was battered to death.
00:51:44My colleague Anagha is now joining us with more details on this.
00:51:48Anagha, could you give us more details about what else does the autopsy report reveal?
00:51:52Well, in fact, the autopsy reveal that the report has given grievous injury marks on the deceased Ajith Kumar
00:52:01based on which, based on the post-mortem report,
00:52:04the police officers involved in Ajith Kumar's death have been arrested.
00:52:08In fact, Chief Minister Stalin also held a meeting with top officers of Tamil Nadu
00:52:13and just hours after that, the police officers who were involved in his custodial death
00:52:19have been arrested with immediate effect.
00:52:21Before that, six police officers were immediately suspended when this matter came to light
00:52:26and now all those police officers who were responsible for Ajith Kumar have been arrested.
00:52:33In fact, the autopsy report also reveals that Ajith Kumar also suffered an eclectic seizure
00:52:38while trying to flee the spot.
00:52:40That's what the FIR says. The FIR says that Ajith Kumar tried to flee the spot.
00:52:46In fact, during custody, the FIR says that Ajith Kumar accepted that he was the one who took the gold jewellery
00:52:52and he agreed to take the police officers to the Kaushik where he had allegedly hid the gold jewellery.
00:52:58But when he went there, the cops say that he attempted to flee the spot
00:53:03and that's when he suffered a seizure, is what the FIR says.
00:53:07Right. Anagha, do stay with us.
00:53:09We're getting some more inputs on this particular story.
00:53:13And we're now learning that the Tamil Nadu cops hush up bid in the custodial murder in Tamil Nadu.
00:53:21The cops FIR blames epilepsy for Ajith's death.
00:53:25The cops had claimed that Ajith fell while trying to flee.
00:53:28But the autopsy report states that there were multiple wounds found on Ajith's body.
00:53:33So, the cops had claimed that it was epilepsy due to which Ajith fell while trying to flee and that led to his death.
00:53:41Whereas, the autopsy report says the contrary.
00:53:44It states that there were multiple wounds that were found on Ajith's body.
00:53:48My colleague Anagha continues to stay with us with more on this.
00:53:51Well, you know, in fact, the FIR also says that around 6.45 p.m., that was when Ajith Kumar had suffered an epileptic episode
00:54:01while trying to flee the spot from the police post that he was taken to Sivaganga Government Hospital
00:54:07where he was declared brought dead at around 11.45 a.m.
00:54:12That's what the, you know, the crucial FIR about Ajith Kumar's death also says.
00:54:19But the autopsy report, they've revealed grievous injuries around Ajith Kumar's body,
00:54:24wound on right-hand elbow, wound below the right-hand ankle,
00:54:28scratch marks all above, you know, all on the right side of his forehead,
00:54:33wound on the right side, face, cheek, and so on.
00:54:36It's, you know, it's a huge list of grievous injury marks on deceased Ajith Kumar,
00:54:42raising a lot of questions about the police department and its way of functioning here in Tamil Nadu.
00:54:48Remember what happened just five years back when it came to Jairaj and Benix's death here,
00:54:53you know, in Sadankulam, in Tamil Nadu.
00:54:56Very similar incidents have repeated again, raising very serious questions
00:54:59about the way the police department in Tamil Nadu is operating.
00:55:03All right, Anika, do stay with us.
00:55:06We're now being joined by BJP's Narayan and Tirupati on the story.
00:55:09Mr. Tirupati, this big development coming to the fore as far as the Tamil Nadu custodial murder case is concerned.
00:55:15On one hand, the cops claimed that it was epilepsy due to which Ajith died,
00:55:20but the autopsy report has revealed that there were multiple wounds that were found on the body of Ajith.
00:55:26Your reaction?
00:55:28Yeah, see, we have, it is very, very clear that the police success has happened
00:55:33and the government has to be blamed.
00:55:35We have been saying last, the last four years, 24 lock-up deaths have happened in Tamil Nadu.
00:55:41That's what even the Madurai High Court has said yesterday.
00:55:43So, it is a police success and driven by the influence of the ruling Dravid model BMK.
00:55:50So, Mr. Stalin, who said before five years, during Satsangulam murders,
00:55:56you know, he said that this government has to go.
00:55:59He said he put all, some shame left to the, then Thirupati should resign.
00:56:03And that applies to Mr. Stalin also.
00:56:06He should have resigned by this time.
00:56:07I don't know how he continues.
00:56:10Absolutely.
00:56:11Also, Mr. Tirupati, does this also raise some serious questions
00:56:14on the way the police department is functioning in the state of Tamil Nadu?
00:56:18Well, the police department, we have already said in the last two, three years,
00:56:23we have been saying that the police department is nothing but DMK police.
00:56:26It is not the state government police.
00:56:28It is DMK police.
00:56:30They are driven by the politicians.
00:56:32And the most suspicion is that why the deceased family,
00:56:37you know, they were taken, they were about to be taken in a DMK's car,
00:56:42a car with a DMK flag.
00:56:44So, this raises huge questions as to how the abuse of power has happened
00:56:49and the happening in Tamil Nadu.
00:56:51Yes, the police has become a force of DMK.
00:56:54It is not the police force now.
00:56:56It is DMK's force.
00:56:58Right.
00:56:59Mr. Narayanan Tirupati, thank you for joining us on the broadcast
00:57:02and for expressing your views on this case that is coming to the fore from Tamil Nadu.
00:57:07It's a custodial murder case in which the cops who were responsible for it have now been arrested.
00:57:17And a case from Tamil Nadu has left the nation shell-shocked.
00:57:2027-year-old Ridhania consumed pesticide and killed herself reportedly
00:57:25due to torture over dowry by her husband and her in-laws.
00:57:29She took this drastic step just two months into her marriage,
00:57:33which involved a dowry of 800 gram of gold jewellery
00:57:36and also a Volvo car worth Rs. 70 lakh.
00:57:40But her husband and in-laws wanted more.
00:57:43Here's a detailed report.
00:57:44In the 21st century, an age of space travel and AI,
00:57:57women are still being driven to death over age-old dowry debans,
00:58:01proving that progress means nothing when patriarchy still rides the roads.
00:58:06A horrifying story has emerged from Tamil Nadu where a young woman,
00:58:14just months after her wedding, was driven to death.
00:58:21Taking her own life after being harassed constantly for dowry.
00:58:26This picture of Ridhania on her wedding day.
00:58:30Happy, content with her husband, Kaveen Kumar.
00:58:33This picture is from April and two months later,
00:58:38she has taken her life.
00:58:42What was meant to be the beginning of a new and wonderful life
00:58:45turned into a nightmare
00:58:47and ultimately Ridhania consumed pesticide in her car
00:58:52and ended her life.
00:58:53She has taken her life together.
00:58:56The, her parents, Ma…
00:59:00Kevin,
00:59:02they've been able to get them all planned for everything.
00:59:06They still have been handling mental torture.
00:59:09If they're evil, they still have to live under her.
00:59:14There's a lot of torture.
00:59:15They're a horrible crime.
00:59:17Mentally, I'm doing my own.
00:59:21I'm doing my own.
00:59:25I'm not going to continue to do my job.
00:59:31My life is you.
00:59:36You're the only one who's lost.
00:59:43You are the one who has been given me.
00:59:48But you are the one who has been given me.
00:59:52You have been given me a lot.
00:59:57You have been told to tell me.
01:00:00You are the one who can tell me.
01:00:05You are the one who told me.
01:00:11I'm sorry, Dad.
01:00:13I'm sorry, Dad.
01:00:15I'm sorry, Dad.
01:00:17I'm sorry.
01:00:19I'm sorry.
01:00:21I'm sorry.
01:00:33Ridhanya had left home on Sunday claiming to go to a temple
01:00:37and on the way had stopped the car, consumed fumigant tablets.
01:00:42Shockingly, Ridhanya was harassed despite her family handing over 100 sovereigns,
01:00:48about 800 grams of gold jewellery and a Volvo car worth 70 lakhs as dowry.
01:00:55But that wasn't enough for the monsters.
01:00:58Her father, heartbroken, admits he asked his daughter to adjust when she told him about the harassment.
01:01:07He said,
01:01:08He said,
01:01:09George, this time the man came to a prison,
01:01:11I said,
01:01:13You said,
01:01:14You told me,
01:01:15You never let the man walk away from a prison.
01:01:17I'm sorry,
01:01:18He's scared,
01:01:19but he's in a life and you're scared.
01:01:21He was scared but he cried too.
01:01:23I wouldn't say,
01:01:25I don't know what you're doing here anymore.
01:01:28I'm sorry.
01:01:30I think once again,
01:01:32I don't want to do anything.
01:02:02And we're now getting some breaking news from the state of Telangana,
01:02:06where the death toll in the Telangana factory blast has now reached 34.
01:02:1131 bodies have been pulled out of the debris, whereas three people have died in the hospital.
01:02:17Meanwhile, Chief Minister Revant Reddy will be visiting the accident site shortly,
01:02:22and suspected chemical reaction is the reason behind this factory blast.
01:02:27The rescue operation is still underway at the blast site,
01:02:30but the death toll has now reached 34.
01:02:3431 bodies have been pulled out of the debris, whereas three people have already died in the hospital.
01:02:40Now, Chief Minister Revant Reddy will also be visiting the blast site shortly today,
01:02:45and it is being suspected that chemical reaction is the reason behind the blast.
01:02:51Rescue operation is also underway.
01:02:53My colleague Abdul Bashir is now joining us with more details on this.
01:02:57Abdul, give us the latest update as far as the rescue operation is concerned.
01:03:01We're learning that the death toll has now reached 34.
01:03:05Well, what we're learning is that the officials have not cleared as to what is the death toll
01:03:11at that particular area where this blast has taken place.
01:03:15But what we understand to our sources is that the death toll has crossed 32 as many of the bodies have shattered
01:03:24and they are not in a position to be identified.
01:03:29So, the family members were claiming that their man or their person was as a worker after the shift.
01:03:37At 8 o'clock in this particular premises, among the 90 people who are present at the spot,
01:03:43the police and the officials are now considering their DNA and testing it to declare as to whether the person was there during the blast.
01:03:53The blast was so huge that the whole concrete structure had collapsed,
01:03:58and it was very difficult to move the dead bridge.
01:04:01So, it will take time to move the whole dead bridge that is present at the spot.
01:04:05A huge blast that has taken place.
01:04:0790 people were inside.
01:04:09It is told that more than 32 people have lost their life as of now.
01:04:14As the rescue operations are undergoing,
01:04:19the death toll might also increase is what is being suspected.
01:04:22Now, officials have not cleared as to how many people have lost their life exactly after the official test toll that has been given yesterday,
01:04:30that is 12.
01:04:31And now, today, the chief minister is also going to visit this particular spot where the explosion has taken place.
01:04:39It was a massive explosion that has caused havoc in the particular area,
01:04:44and then several of them have lost their life over at that particular premises.
01:04:50During the morning shift after 8 o'clock, the blast took place at around 9.20,
01:04:54and the whole dead bridge has fallen,
01:04:57and the officials are in charge,
01:04:59and the other officials who are concerned are related to the fact we have also involved into the people who have lost their life when the explosion took place.
01:05:10All right, Abdul, thank you for getting us those details on the Telangana factory blast,
01:05:16in which the death toll now stands at 34,
01:05:19but the rescue operations still continue.

01:08:00that there is no chance that any petrol should be dispensed to do these kind of vehicles.
01:08:06Of course, this notice that is there in order comes from the CAQM looking at air quality
01:08:14and pollution that has been caused in the Delhi and the national capital.
01:08:20Of course, right now, this law is only implemented in Delhi and will be expanded to the NCR regions later,
01:08:27but very crucial for those who are still keeping these old vehicles
01:08:32because once they come here and are detected at petrol pumps, they will be directly sent in for scrapping.
01:08:39And the traffic police as well has been told to maintain vigilance at a lot of petrol stations
01:08:45to ensure strict implementation of this particular order.
01:08:50With Lokinder Pandey, Milan Sharma in Delhi for India Today.

01:10:10that people who are residing nearby these rivers and kharts are to vacate their houses or shops.

01:10:22And yesterday as well, 1,57,000 kusik water was released from Pando Dam itself.
01:10:29So, which makes the situation more concerning.
01:10:32And in Mundi, the Kersog Megli village, the local stream breached its bank
01:10:37and flowing directly into residential areas.
01:10:41Around eight residential houses sustained damage.

01:11:57the inflow of water is 1,65,000 in the dam.
01:12:02And the same 1,57,000 is being released from the dam.
01:12:06So, though the sirens from the dam, the public announcement being made,
01:12:11but still the weather conditions, you see the clouds, how the area fully covered by the clouds

01:12:45And now, shifting focus in a chilling real-life echo of the Bollywood film Trapped.
01:12:50A Navi Mumbai techie locked himself inside his apartment for three years.
01:12:54No job, no visitors, no sunlight, only silence and shadows.
01:12:58But what led the 55-year-old to isolate himself?
01:13:02India Today reports.
01:13:14Real-life rerun of the movie Trapped unfolds in Mumbai.
01:13:2255-year-old techie Anup Nair shut himself in a flat for three years.
01:13:28He once worked as computer programmer, but after his parents died and his brother died by suicide 20 years ago,
01:13:36struggling with depression, he shut himself in his flat and survived on online food.
01:13:44His flat turned into a dungeon of filth and thrash.
01:13:48No furniture, no phone calls, no friends, no job.
01:13:52Just silence.
01:13:59He was rescued, just in the nick of the time, by an NGO based in Panvel, called Seel.
01:14:05At that time, he had a serious infection in his leg and was immediately given medical treatment.
01:14:12Reality sometimes overturns cinema.
01:14:39Anup Nair is now on the mend, undergoing treatment at the Panvel Social Sales Institute.
01:14:46But his tale is one of caution against the pitfalls of depression.
