‘PM Modi has apologised to farmers, but…’: Rahul Gandhi over Lakhimpur Kheri

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the center on Tuesday over the Lakhimpur Kheri incident, which resulted in the deaths of eight people, and said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had apologized to farmers but did not fire Federal Minister Aja. Yi Kumar Mishra.

Rahul Gandhi told reporters on Tuesday: “The opposition raised the Rahimpur incident again. A minister’s son killed a farmer and the report said it was a conspiracy, not an isolated incident. PM Modi did nothing about it. Matter. You (Modi) apologize to the farmers, but don’t dismiss the minister.”

Gandhi also lashed out at Federal Minister Mishra’s remarks that the killing of Rajmbur Keri farmers was “accidental.” “We will not let him go (Ajay Mishra); today or tomorrow, he will be sent to prison,” Gandhi also told reporters. Last week, the leader of the Congress moved a motion to adjourn the meeting in the People’s Chamber on the grounds that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) report stated that the Lakhimpur Kheri incident was a deliberate and pre-planned conspiracy. As the opposition party requested that the incident be discussed in Parliament, Rahul Gandhi claimed that the center did not want to proceed.

“They don’t allow us to speak. That’s why the House of Representatives was disrupted. Their ministers were involved (Lakhimpur Kheri incident)… So discussions should be allowed, but they don’t want to discuss them,” Gandhi told reporters on December 15.

Since the beginning of the parliamentary winter meeting, the opposition parties have targeted the center on this incident and demanded that the Union Minister Ajay Kumar Mishra be removed from the top post. They also requested that the SIT report be discussed.

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.
