Baghpat police arrested two minors for murdering Imam Ibrahim’s wife Israna and daughters Sofia and Sumaiya in Gangnauli, citing revenge for alleged beatings at the mosque.

Operation Blue Star that was carried out on the instructions of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to flush out terrorists from the Golden Temple in Amritsar in 1984 was the “wrong way”, P Chidambaram said.

A murder accused in Uttar Pradesh’s Azamgarh jail masterminded a Rs 30 lakh fraud, siphoning funds from the jail’s account after obtaining a chequebook on bail. He, along with a fellow inmate, a senior assistant, and a watchman, forged signatures to transfer the money. The scheme unraveled after the jail superintendent noticed suspicious withdrawals.
