On Japan connect, PM Modi recalls his days as Gujarat CM, also writes an op-ed

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is in Tokyo for two days, spoke on Monday about India’s vibrant relations with Japan as he arrived for a two-day visit ahead of the Quad leaders’ summit. “India-Japan: A Partnership for Peace, Stability, and Prosperity,” he wrote in a leading Japanese newspaper.

PM Modi wrote in the op-ed that India-Japan defence ties were rapidly expanding, from exercises and information exchanges to defence manufacturing, and that the two countries were also cooperating more in the cyber, space, and underwater domains.

“We can be important pillars of a stable and secure Indo-Pacific region as two democracies strategically located in the region.” That is why our collaboration is expanding into new areas,” he explained.

PM Modi took to Twitter to emphasise that the countries’ partnership is for peace, stability, and prosperity. “In the post-Covid world, closer India-Japan cooperation is critical.” Our countries share a strong commitment to democratic values. We are key pillars of a stable and secure Indo-Pacific region when we work together. I’m also pleased that we’re cooperating closely in a number of multilateral forums.”

PM Modi also tweeted that during his time as Gujarat’s chief minister, he had the opportunity to regularly interact with the Japanese people. “Japan’s development progress has always been inspiring. “Infrastructure, technology, innovation, start-ups, and other key sectors are where Japan and India are collaborating,” he said.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida invited Modi to Tokyo. “During my visit to Tokyo, I look forward to continuing our conversation further, with an aim to strengthen the India-Japan Special Strategic and Global Partnership,” Modi said in a statement before departing for Japan’s capital city.

PM Modi was greeted warmly by the Indian diaspora upon his arrival in Tokyo on Monday, with chants of “Har Har Modi,” “Modi Modi,” “Vande Mataram,” and “Bharat Mata ki Jai.”

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.
