Dalit BSc student kills self after caste-based assault in Uttar Pradesh AGRA: A 20-year-old Dalit BSc student allegedly died by suicide in his room in Uttar Pradesh’s Firozabad district on Sunday, a day after he was accused of harassing a girl at a library, assaulted and humiliated by a group of men upon learning his caste. Deceased Atin Kumar was a resident of Nagla Bilautia village under Shikohabad police station. A one-page suicide note recovered from Atin’s room mentioned harassment and assault at the library. Villagers said injury marks were visible on Atin’s body, and that there was a fracture in one of his fingers. Police on Monday said three accused were arrested, after a case was registered following a police complaint by the deceased’s father, Ajay Kumar. An FIR was registered under BNS sections 103 (murder), 191 (rioting), 352 (intentional insults designed to provoke breach of peace), 115 (voluntarily causing hurt), and appropriate sections of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, against six people, including two named accused -- library operator Atul Sikera and Dhruv Yadav. Kumar said his son regularly visited the RM Library after college. On Saturday evening, some locals at the library allegedly accused Atin of harassing a girl and assaulted him after asking about his caste. “My son suffered injuries in the assault and came back home humiliated.

Himanta's wife passport row: Congress MP Randeep Surjewala summoned by Assam police on Saturday

Himanta's wife passport row: Congress MP Randeep Surjewala summoned by Assam police on Saturday NEW DELHI: The Assam crime branch has summoned Congress MP and senior party leader Randeep Singh Surjewala to appear before investigators in Guwahati on Saturday, May 23 in connection with the passport controversy involving Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sarma. The summons is part of an ongoing probe by Assam police into allegations made by Congress leaders against Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, where Khera had publicly questioned alleged discrepancies linked to her passport records and citizenship status. The development comes as the investigation widens following the questioning of Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera earlier this month. The summons to Surjewala was issued after statements made by Khera during nearly eight hours of interrogation by the crime branch in Guwahati. The case relates to allegations made by Khera regarding Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, after which criminal complaints were lodged against him at the Guwahati Crime Branch under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Khera has since challenged an April 24 order of the Gauhati high court that denied him anticipatory bail. After appearing before the Crime Branch earlier this month, Khera avoided commenting in detail on the investigation but asserted that the Congress would continue its political fight against the BJP-led government in Assam. The probe has drawn national attention amid indications from Assam Police that more Congress leaders could be questioned as part of the investigation.
