Amitabh Bachchan recalls how his dad wrote letters to fans, posted them himself

During a time when handwritten letters were popular, Amitabh Bachchan recalled the era and claimed that his father, the renowned writer-poet and philosopher Harivansh Rai Bachchan, used to reply to all of the fan letters he got. The actor also expressed the hope that someday one of the KBC contestants will let him know that they had some of his father’s handwritten letters, at which point he would urge the candidate to give them to him.

“My dad used to send out a tonne of letters to his friends and admirers. He used to write between 50 and 100 letters per day, and he used to reply to each and every letter individually. Small postcards were utilised for his writing, which he would then correctly fold and post by himself. On the most recent episode of KBC 14, Amitabh remarked, “When I used to ask him why he is going back to the post office, he would respond, “I am going to see if the card was sent or not.”

“I am confident that someone in the audience would step up on the programme and tell me that see, I have your dad’s letter that he wrote for me himself,” he continued. I’ll ask him to give me whichever many he has, and I’ll keep them in my home. Obviously, before stealing it, I would give them a copy. He received a lot of responses via letters, and he also published those messages as a book.

Amitabh also mentioned how much he “used to admire” postmen. “The postman was a hero in our time since he or she served as our sole means of communication. He used to just deliver letters to our homes. Amitabh mentioned handwritten letters when a contestant named Jyotirmayee revealed that she works as an Assistant Superintendent of Post and that her husband is also an Assistant Superintendent of the Post Office. We used to respect them a lot and thought of them as proprietary.

2 ‘Kala Jatheri gang members’ killed in encounter with F’bad cops in Fatehabad

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody
The Faridabad police gunned down two members of the Kala Jatheri gang in an encounter near Fatehabad on Friday, officers said. A constable was injured in the gunfight, they added.

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody.

The identity of one of the deceased was not known, while the other was identified as Ravi (single name), who had 28 cases lodged against him in multiple districts.

Aman Yadav, assistant commissioner of Police (ACP), Faridabad said the incident occurred when the police van stopped near a roadside eatery on the outskirts of Fatehabad while transporting Ravi back to Faridabad jail after a court appearance in an Arms Act case.

“Four armed individuals attacked the police team, firing multiple rounds to facilitate Ravi’s escape. In retaliation, police returned fire, killing Ravi and another suspect on the spot,” Yadav said.

Constable Sarjeet Yadav suffered a gunshot wound to his left forearm. He was rushed to a civic hospital, where his condition is reported to be stable, said police.

Yadav said that Ravi, who had been lodged in Faridabad jail since April 24, 2023, was being transported after attending an appeal hearing at the Fatehabad court. The ambush, allegedly orchestrated by Ravi’s associates, was intended to secure his release from custody. The police’s swift response thwarted the plan.

Ravi had a long history of violent crimes, including murder, attempted murder, dacoity, robbery, and Arms Act violations. His activities spanned multiple districts, such as Sonipat, Jind, Rohtak, Faridabad, and Delhi. He was a key member of the Kala Jathedi gang, led by the notorious gangster Sandeep alias Kala Jathedi, who is currently in Tihar Jail.

Kala Jathedi himself is implicated in over a dozen cases across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. In 2020, he famously escaped from Haryana Police custody during a similar ambush orchestrated by his gang.

ACP Yadav confirmed that police teams are actively investigating to identify the remaining attackers involved in the ambush. “We are working to uncover the identities of the other suspects who participated in the operation. Stringent action will be taken against all involved,” Yadav said.

This encounter is part of an ongoing crackdown on organized crime, with authorities aiming to dismantle gangs operating in the region.
