Bareilly (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 29 (ANI): Police have detained and sent to jail 15 people in connection with the recent violence in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, and the rest of the rioters are being identified.

Superintendent of Police (SP) City Bareilly Manush Pareek said that the detainees are being sent to jail after evidence was recovered linking them to the clashes.

“Fifteen rioters are being detained and sent to jail today. Pieces of brick and stone, empty cartridges, and a pistol were recovered from them. The remaining rioters are also being identified through CCTV footage, drone surveillance, and manual intelligence. All of them will be arrested and sent to jail. Many of them live outside the Bareilly district and have also had criminal cases against them…”

Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday strongly criticised the miscreants involved in the recent violence in Bareilly, and warned them of police action.

Addressing a public meeting in Balrampur, CM Yogi cited the lathi-charge in Bareilly and said that the miscreants would be dealt with in a similar manner.

He said, “A few individuals should not be allowed to spoil the environment. These are the same people who brought an identity crisis to Uttar Pradesh along with the corrupt governments. There were no investments or developments in the State due to these people.”

“Now they are adopting new tactics. But they must remember that we are more prepared than they think. They will be beaten just as they were beaten in Bareilly,” the Chief Minister added.

Condemning the “I love Muhammad” posters, CM Yogi said that the “fools” are ruining the lives of the children.

“These fools don’t even know that symbols of faith are honoured, not loved. Faith isn’t something to be displayed at crossroads; it’s a matter of conscience. Some people are creating chaos in society by giving small children posters of ‘I Love Muhammad’. They don’t even realise that their own lives are already ruined, but they’re hell-bent on ruining the lives of these children as well,” he said.

He warned the miscreants against anarchy and said, “The government will never accept this kind of anarchy. Anyone who attempts to take the law into their own hands, be informed in advance that we will issue them a ticket to hell without asking. This anarchy is unacceptable.”

The Chief Minister’s remarks come after the protests outside Ala Hazrat Dargah and Ittehad-e-Millat Council chief Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan’s house in Bareilly, which turned into a clash with the State police.

Earlier, UP Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Range Ajay Kumar Sahni said that Maulana Tauqeer Raza, a cleric and the main conspirator of the violence, has been arrested and sent to judicial custody. (ANI)

Madurai (Tamil Nadu) [India], September 28 (ANI): Congress MP Karti Chidambaram on Sunday expressed his grief over the loss of lives in the Karur stampede incident and blamed the” lack of second-tier leaders and administrators in TVK” for the tragedy.

Addressing the media, Karti Chidambaram said, “It is deeply saddening and painful. Incidents of people losing their lives in crowd crushes continue to occur in India. Those who organised the event seem to have been negligent. It must be noted that the organisers lacked the administrative capacity to control the crowd. Whether the police were properly deployed for security will only be known after the inquiry. The lack of second-tier leaders and administrators in TVK is what led to this tragedy. I have no doubt about the public support they enjoy. My doubt is only about whether there is leadership.”

Retired High Court judge Aruna Jagadeesan, appointed by the Tamil Nadu government to lead a one-member Commission of Inquiry into the Karur stampede, landed at Trichy airport on Sunday evening.
