BJP’s new dig at Gandhi’s Nepal video: ‘Why Rahul has only ties with…’

Amit Malviya, a BJP leader and social media chief, accused Rahul Gandhi’s supposed friend of anti-India beliefs and asked why Rahul Gandhi has ties with “only those who are challenging India’s territorial integrity” a day after posting the video of Rahul Gandhi partying at a nightclub in Nepal.

The BJP and the Congress have exchanged barbs over Rahul Gandhi’s video, with the Congress spokesperson clarifying that the Congressman was in Nepal for a private wedding function of a friend who also happened to be a journalist. “Rahul Gandhi did not go to Pakistan as an uninvited guest, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi did to celebrate the birthday and cut cakes for then-Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Rahul Gandhi has travelled to Nepal, a friendly country, to attend a friend’s private wedding. By coincidence, the friend is also a journalist “According to the Congressman,

“Having a family and friends in this country, as well as attending weddings and engagement ceremonies, are all part of our culture and civilisation, as far as I’m concerned. Being married, being friends with someone, or attending their wedding celebration has not yet become a crime in this country. Perhaps after today, Prime Minister Modi or the BJP will rule that attending a wedding is illegal. They may argue that having friends or attending family functions is a crime “he stated

Rahul Gandhi was in Nepal to attend the wedding of CNN journalist Sumnima Udas, according to the Kathmandu Post. Sumnima is the daughter of Bhim Udas, Nepal’s former ambassador to Myanmar.

Amit Malviya said Rahul Gandhi’s friend actively supports “Nepal’s claim over regions of India’s Uttarakhand,” referring to a tweet from Sumnima Udas from 2020, in which she wrote that Nepal should have issued a new map decades ago.

Fake claims were made as soon as Rahul Gandhi’s video went viral, claiming that the woman with whom he was seen in the video was a Chinese diplomat.

Shashi Tharoor, a Congress member, responded to a fake news story on Wednesday by tweeting, “On social media, we need a fact-checking culture. Would Twitter and Facebook consider tying fact-checks like this to every time the fake news surfaced or was repeated? I’ve been a victim of a lot of misinformation as a result of blatant photoshops going viral.”

Sumnima Udas allegedly married Nima Martin Sherpa, a Chinese businesswoman, according to social media users.

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.
