CPI(M)'s M.A. Baby calls for a special Parliament session to address tensions and ceasefire between India and Pakistan. He highlights the Pahalgam attack and urges clarity on the government's stance.

CPIM Calls for Special Parliament on Indo-Pak Relations

CPI(M)'s M.A. Baby requests a special Parliament session to address the ceasefire and unresolved issues post-Pahalgam attack. He emphasizes the need for a clear governmental stance regarding Indo-Pak relations and American involvement.

CPI(M)'s M.A. Baby urges PM Modi to convene a special session of Parliament to address Indo-Pak relations post-ceasefire and Pahalgam attack.

CPI(M) general secretary MA Baby on Monday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to call a special session of Parliament in light of recent developments and requested his "personal participation" in clarifying the government's position.
The CPI(M) joins a raft of opposition parties, including the Congress, in calling for a special session of Parliament in the wake of recent developments.
In a letter addressed to the prime minister, Baby said he was writing in light of recent developments concerning the "de-escalation of tensions and the announcement of a ceasefire" between India and Pakistan.
He said, "This announcement has brought a sense of relief to all sections of our nation, as well as to the peace-loving international community. However, several pressing concerns remain unaddressed -- particularly regarding the terrorist attack in Pahalgam." The "heinous attack" in Pahalgam has "deeply shaken the conscience of the nation." Yet, the overwhelming unity displayed by citizens across the country in its aftermath is a powerful and invaluable force, he added.
Baby said this solidarity must be harnessed to isolate terrorists and their supporters -- both domestic and foreign.
"Regrettably, this moment of national unity is being undermined by virulent campaigns of hatred and jingoism, as well as the spread of misinformation by certain media outlets and elements on social media. These actions have caused significant confusion and unrest among the public," he said.
The CPI(M) general secretary said US President Donald Trump's announcement "regarding the ceasefire -- made prior to any official statement from our representatives -- has raised serious concerns".
India and Pakistan reached an agreement to stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea on May 10 after four days of cross-border strikes that triggered fears of a wider conflict.
In a short announcement, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri had said the directors general of military operations of the two countries agreed on the understanding during a call.
The decision by India and Pakistan was first made public by Trump in a social media post while claiming that the talks between the two sides were mediated by the US.
Baby said in his letter to the prime minister, "It is an avowedly accepted policy of our country that we settle our disputes bilaterally, without allowing any third-party intervention. Therefore, this situation requires clear and authoritative clarification from the highest levels of our government." "In the light of these issues, I urge you to convene a special session of Parliament, as already requested by the floor leaders of the CPI(M), and request your personal participation as the prime minister in clarifying the government's position," he added.

A chargesheet against Muskan Rastogi and Sahil Shukla for Saurabh Rajput's murder reveals a plot with evidence and witness accounts.

Muskan and Lover Charged in Grisly Murder

Muskan Rastogi and Sahil Shukla face charges for the brutal murder of Saurabh Rajput, including evidence tampering, in a case filled with complexities.

A chargesheet implicates Muskan Rastogi and Sahil Shukla in Saurabh Rajput's murder. They face charges under BNS. Evidence involves witness statements and a bone linked to the crime.

Police filed a chargesheet in a local court on Monday in connection with the gruesome murder of former Merchant Navy officer Saurabh Rajput allegedly by his wife Muskan Rastogi and her lover Sahil Shukla, a police official said.
The 1000-page chargesheet was filed in the court of Additional Civil Judge (Senior Division) Anuj Kumar Thakur against Muskan and Sahil for offences under sections 103 (1) (punishment for murder) and 238 (A) (causing disappearance of evidence of offence, or giving false information to screen offender) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Saurabh was killed on the night of March 4 at his house in Indiranagar in Meerut district. His wife, Muskan, and Sahil are accused of drugging him and stabbing him to death. It is alleged they dismembered his body, severing his head and hands, and hid the body parts in a blue drum filled with cement.
After the incident, both of them went to Himachal Pradesh.
The investigation into the sensational case revealed that Muskan had allegedly been planning the murder since November 2023, according to the police.
Saurabh was killed "not because of tantra-mantra, but because he was an obstacle in their love affair", the police claimed.
Muskan was arrested along with her lover Sahil Shukla on March 18. Earlier, Muskan "confessed" to her family, after which they were arrested.
Both the accused are currently in jail.
Brahmapuri Circle Officer Antariksh Jain told PTI on Monday that the chargesheet details the murder conspiracy, evidence and has statements of about 34 witnesses. The case has been investigated bythe Brahmapuri police station in-charge Ramakant Pachauri.
Police sources said that according to the initial plan, the two accused wanted to pack the body in a suitcase and throw it away. A piece of bone was also found in the suitcase.
According to officials, the accused have been provided a government advocate.
Meanwhile, the jail administration said that Muskan is pregnant and has been kept in the women's barracks. Her family has distanced itself from her, while Sahil's grandmother and elder brother had met him.
A jail official told PTI, "On Saturday, Sahil's brother had come to meet him." Saurabh and Muskan had a love marriage in 2016, which was opposed by the family. In 2019, the couple had a daughter.
According to the police, due to deteriorating financial condition, Saurabh had a dispute with his family and he started living in Indiranagar. During this time, the relationship between Muskan and Sahil deepened.
The police said that Saurabh had filed for divorce in 2021, but the case was withdrawn due to the child. The couple's relationship remained strained.

Delhi Police utilizes state-of-the-art reverse image search software to enhance suspect identification, improving time and accuracy in criminal investigations.

Delhi Police New Image Search Tool Enhances Crime Solving

The new reverse image search tool by Delhi Police boosts efficiency and precision in identifying suspects, crucial in cases with limited direct evidence.

Delhi Police's advanced reverse image software boosts suspect identification speed and accuracy, aiding major investigations.

The Delhi Police will soon deploy a 'reverse image search' software that can match suspect sketches with its database of criminal photographs, significantly reducing the time and effort required in identifying accused persons, an official said on Monday.
The image reconstruction software, being developed by the Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, will assist law enforcement agencies in quickly matching facial sketches prepared from eyewitness accounts with digital images in police records, he said.
"Earlier, such comparisons had to be made manually, which was time-consuming and lacked accuracy. This new software automates the process and increases the precision of suspect identification," a police source said.
The system uses machine learning to process a sketch, filter through visual data and shortlist matching images from a central database. It allows investigators to upload suspect sketches and receive close matches in real time.
According to police officials, the software is particularly useful in cases such as murder, robbery and sexual assault, where the only clue may be a sketch based on a victim's or witness's memory.
It will also be helpful in cases where no direct image or CCTV footage of the suspect is available, they said.
"This tool...could be a game changer in solving cases where leads are limited," the officer highlighted.
Police officials said these advanced tools are already proving useful in cracking complex cyber and physical crimes. Delhi Police is already using a host of forensic and data recovery technologies, including the software for retrieving data from corrupted storage devices and mobile phones.

Discover how mathematics shapes creativity in Marcys Du Sautoy's 'Blueprints', unveiling connections from ancient art to modern architecture, enriching our understanding of both fields.

Mathematics Shapes Creativity in New Blueprints

Renowned professor Marcus Du Sautoy, in his book 'Blueprints', explores the integral role mathematics plays in artistic creativity, from ancient design to modern architecture.

'Blueprints' by Marcus Du Sautoy explores how mathematics informs and shapes creativity in the arts, using examples ranging from Mozart to Zaha Hadid.

From stone circles to Mozart&rsquo;s obsession with numbers and Zaha Hadid&rsquo;s architecture influenced by mathematical logic and geometry, a new book by Marcus Du Sautoy explores the unexpected yet fascinating connection between mathematics and the arts.
"Blueprints: How Mathematics Shapes Creativity", written by professor of mathematics at the University of Oxford Marcus Du Sautoy and published by HarperCollins, is scheduled to hit the stands on May 16.
It reveals how mathematical structures underpin artistic creativity across time and cultures, and makes an argument that the "logic of mathematics and the emotional world of art are not opposites, but deeply intertwined".
"Many of the artists that we encounter are completely unaware of the mathematics that bubble beneath their craft, while some consciously use it for inspiration. Our instincts might tell us that these two subjects are incompatible forces with nothing in common.
"Blueprints asks us to consider that mathematics and art may not be polar opposites after all. Their complementary relationship spans a vast historical and geographic landscape, from the earliest stone circles to Mozart&rsquo;s obsession with numbers and the radically modern architecture of Zaha Hadid," the publisher said in a statement.
Whether we are searching for meaning in an abstract painting or finding patterns in poetry, the book claims there are blueprints everywhere: "symmetry, prime numbers, the golden ratio and more".
The book, touted to be a bold and philosophical exploration of human creativity, aims to unpack "how we make art, why a creative mindset is vital for discovering new mathematics, and how a fundamental connection to the natural world intrinsically links these two subjects".

After intense military exchanges, northern India sees peace with a ceasefire agreement, as villagers return home cautiously.

Border Tensions Ease in Northern India

Northern India saw a day of calm after a ceasefire between India and Pakistan following four days of military exchanges, marking a return to normalcy.

Northern India experienced a day of calm after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire following intense military exchanges.

After teetering on the edge for nearly a week, border regions in the north experienced a less fraught day, with no shelling, no sightings of drones, and a comparatively lighter yoke of emergency measures.
New Delhi and Islamabad reached an understanding Saturday to halt military actions with immediate effect after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.
Villagers living close to the Line of Control who were forced to flee due to heavy shelling by the Pakistani military started returning home on Monday.
They started their journey back to their villages after bomb disposal squads cleared the residential areas of any leftover or unexploded shells, officials said.
"We are happy that a ceasefire has been reached between the two countries. We are also hopeful that Pakistan will not resort to such activities again," said Arshad Ahmad, a resident of the Kamalkote area in Uri.
Uri MLA Sajjad Shafi has asked the residents of villages along the frontline to remain vigilant and not touch anything suspicious.
"They should immediately report any suspicious objects to the authorities for proper disposal," he said.
Authorities in Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday asked the residents of border villages not to rush back as residential areas were yet to be sanitised and cleared of any unexplored shells.
In Punjab, markets teemed with people in the border areas on Monday, even though schools in some districts remained shut.
Schools in Ferozepur, Fazilka, Pathankot, Amritsar, Tarn Taran, and Gurdaspur districts, that lie on the border with Pakistan, remained shut on Monday. In Pathankot and Gurdaspur, colleges and universities also remained closed.
Punjab shares a 553-km frontier with Pakistan.
"India has taught a lesson to Pakistan and it has been successful in sending a strong message to the neighbouring nation. And now Pakistan, which is a rogue nation, will not dare to cast an evil eye on our country," a grocery shop owner in Pathankot said.
Pakistan especially targeted Pathankot with multiple drone attacks, but they were thwarted by the Indian security forces.
In Ferozepur, villagers who had moved to safer places were returning to their villages.
Daler Singh, a native of Jallo Ke village near the border, said that most residents of nearby areas had left hearth and home. "Now, most of them have returned but they remain cautious. Overall, life is normal and we are going back to our fields," he said.
A Ferozepur native said, "The situation is normal now. We hope the ceasefire holds and peace prevails." In Rajasthan, a complete blackout was observed in the border districts Sunday night.
There were reports that some red lights, suspected to be of drones, were spotted in the sky in Barmer.
The district administration sent out an alert on X, "Incoming drone activity spotted. Please stay inside your houses and observe blackout: DM Barmer." It, however, said no drone was shot down.
By Monday morning, an apparent sense of normalcy became palpable in the border districts with people gathering at tea stalls and shops and bantering.
Jalam Singh, a Jaisalmer local, said, "Things appear to be back to normal now. Last night was peaceful." Jammu and Kashmir, the worst hit border, was peaceful last night with no hostilities between the Indian and Pakistani militaries.
"The night remained largely peaceful across Jammu and Kashmir and other areas along the international border," the Indian Army said in a brief statement Monday morning.
"No incidents have been reported, marking the first calm night in recent days," it said.
