Another case of triple talaq surfaces in UP

Uttar Pradesh arrested six members of a fake Baba gang, who have been misleading innocent people by wearing Hindu attire. They were extorting money from superstitious people by promising them to get rid of their problems using "tantrik" rituals for the past seven years.

Three people died, including a 70-year-old woman, and one person was injured in a fire caused by cylinders exploding in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Sanjay Kumar said.

The devotees braved the cold wave to take a holy dip in the Ganga River in Varanasi, where the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast a minimum temperature of 10°C. On Thursday morning, the city recorded an overall air quality in the 'moderate' category, with an AQI ranging between 101 and 200.

The Uttar Pradesh police have lodged an FIR against four officials of Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama here for allegedly violating foreigner stay rules after a Philippine national remained on the campus without informing the authorities.

"It should not be called the 'Indian National Congress'; it should be called the 'Indira Nazi Congress' because they demonstrate Indira's emergency mindset and Nazi dictatorial behaviour. If somebody praises the Prime Minister's speech, which is about larger issues, then a 'fatwa' is issued against that person by the Congress, which talks about democracy in the entire country, but there is no democracy within their party... if someone keeps national interest above 'Parivaric' interest, then a fatwa is issued against them," Shehzad Poonawalla told ANI.
