India's 76th Independence Day turned bloody in Karnataka's Shivamogga as clashes broke out reportedly over a tussle to put up posters at the Ameer Ahmad Circle.
A group had installed a banner featuring Vinayak Savarkar, when another group tried to remove it and replace it with a poster featuring Tipu Sultan. A person was stabbed in the ensuing clashes, as per reports.
Subsequently, police arrived and dispersed the mob using batons. The poster was reportedly confiscated, and the national flag was installed at the spot. Orders under CrPC Section 144 prohibiting large gatherings were imposed in the area to maintain peace.
Both Savarkar and Tipu Sultan have become politically controversial figures, with the BJP calling Savarkar a great freedom fighter, and Tipu Sultan a bigoted despot. The labels have been contested by Opposition parties like the Congress.

As many as 27 people were rescued after a major fire broke out at a five-storey hotel near Jamnagar city of Gujarat on Thursday evening, police said.
While the hotel was completely destroyed, no one was seriously injured in the incident, said Jamnagar District Superintendent of Police Premsukh Delu.
"The fire started at about 7:30 pm and spread quickly. Twenty-seven guests were staying in 18 of the total 36 rooms. They were all rescued by police. Hotel staff too is safe," he said.
Fire tenders from Jamnagar fire brigade and Reliance (which has a refinery in the area) were pressed into service, the SP added.
The flames were brought under control around 10:30 pm.
"Preliminary investigation showed that short circuit caused the fire and it spread quickly due to the decorative material used outside the hotel," the SP said.

A 7-year-old girl is kidnapped, and kept just 200 metres away from her home for years. &nbsp;Her abductors, and family, both unaware, until 9 years later, a stranger unravels the entire tale.
7-yr-old Pooja Gaud went missing in Mumbai on 22 January 2013. She was on her way to school, walking with her elder brother Rohit. Pooja reportedly was arguing with her brother to give her ₹5 as recess money. During the argument, Pooja sat on the side of the road in anger. Rohit rushed ahead as they were already late for school by 15 minutes. While running ahead, Rohit asked Pooja to meet him during recess to take money from him. But Pooja never made it to school, and Rohit alerted his parents, who filed a missing persons' complaint.
So, what happened to young Pooja?
She claims that a man identified as Harry D'Souza lured her away with ice-cream, and then abducted her. Initially, Harry and his wife Soni treated Pooja well. They also renamed her 'Annie' to hide their crime. But as Pooja's case gained attention, the D'Souzas sent her away. She was reportedly sent to a boarding school in Raichur, Karnataka. In 2016, the D'Souzas had a biological daughter.

Subsequently, Pooja was brought back from the hostel, and the nightmare worsened. Pooja says that the D'Souzas started mistreating her, and beating her up. She claims she was kicked, slapped, and beaten with belts, and rolling pins. The D'Souzas also allegedly forced Pooja to work as a domestic help at other houses.
Police say that Harry and Soni D'Souza were desperate for a child when they kidnapped Pooja.
Three years after she went missing, her father Santosh passed away. Ironically, the alleged abductors kept Pooja confined practically next door to her real family.

Initially, the D'Souzas lived in Irla in Vile Parle, and later shifted to Gilbert Hill, Andheri. The D'Souzas didn't know this was Pooja's old locality. Her family lived just 200m away, in a nearby alley, according to reports. But Pooja and her family never discovered each other as she was kept under strict supervision. Pooja wasn't allowed to make friends, and Soni D'Souza used to drop and fetch Pooja from the house where she worked as a help.
The end of Pooja's horrific ordeal came about in equally dramatic fashion.
She became friends with another domestic help, Pramila Devendra, and confided in her that she had been abducted. Pooja told Pramila that her abductors regularly harassed her. Pramila then searched online, and came across news reports of Pooja's kidnapping. Pramila also found 5 contact numbers to give information about Pooja, but only one worked. This number belonged to Rafique, a neighbour of Pooja's family, and Pramila got in touch with him. Subsequently, Pooja's family confirmed her identity via a​ video call.
Then, a time and place for a meeting between Pooja and her family was fixed. On that day, Pooja reportedly stepped out on the pretext of taking the baby for a walk. Finally, on 4 August 2022, at 8:20 pm, Pooja was reunited with her family, after a long wait of almost a decade.
After this, police reached Harry and Soni D'Souza's house, and confronted them. After denying the charges, they finally admitted the crime, according to reports. Police have booked the couple but only arrested Harry D'Souza, leaving the wife to take care of their 6-year-old daughter.
The charges against them include kidnapping under Section 363 of the Indian Penal Code, which has a maximum punishment of 7 years in jail, and a fine. There is also intent to wrongfully confine a person under IPC Section 365, with a maximum penalty of 7-year imprisonment and a fine. They have also been accused of buying, or disposing a person as a slave under IPC Section 370, which carries a similar max punishment of 7 years in jail and a fine. Another charge is unlawful compulsory labour under IPC 374, with a maximum punishment of 1 year in jail, and a fine.
Apart from Pooja, the case has made another person famous - retired policeman Rajendra Bhosale. The committed cop never stopped looking for Pooja, even after retirement.
Assistant Sub Inspector Bhosale was a 1978 police batch officer. The son of a school principal, Bhosale lost his sister to dowry harassment. He was in-charge of the missing persons' bureau at DN Nagar Police Station between 2010 and 2015. From 2008 to 2015, 166 girls went missing in the area, and Bhosale and his team successfully tracked down 165 of them - Pooja the sole exception. The cop finally retired in 2015, but he kept visiting Pooja's family to continue to search.
Bhosale used to carry Pooja's photographs with him all the time. When he finally heard that she had been found, he didn't believe the news till he had personally confirmed it, according to a report in the Indian Express. After years of agony, he reportedly expressed relief by saying, "Meri Pooja mil gayi."

Nitish Kumar's exit from the BJP-led NDA and re-entry into a 'grand alliance' with Tejashwi Yadav-led RJD has re-ignited speculations that the JD(U) chief will contest as a prime ministerial candidate for the opposition in 2024. 
Kumar, however, dismissed questions of reporters on the same and said his agenda is Bihar's development. 
In a day of fast-moving political developments, Bihar’s mercurial leader Nitish Kumar twice met Governor Phagu Chauhan, first to hand in his resignation as NDA chief minister and then after being elected leader of the RJD-led `Mahagathbandhan’ (grand alliance) to stake claim for the top job in the state once again.
His move which was a reversal of what happened in 2017 when he left the Mahagathbandhan to rejoin the NDA, left ally BJP out in the cold for the second time in nine years.
He had deserted the NDA for the first time in 2013 after Narendra Modi became the coalition's Prime Ministerial candidate.

Amid a political controversy over weekly holidays in some Jharkhand schools, a BJP Member of Parliament claimed that the state was moving towards "Islamisation".
Nishikant Dubey said he was quoting from a state government reply in the Jharkhand Assembly. "Our MLA Anant Ojha asked a question in the state Assembly. I tweeted the reply given by the state government. They admitted that over 500 government schools have Urdu in the name. Over 500 schools have Urdu prayers. Over 500 schools where hands are not folded for prayers. They have weekly holidays on Fridays instead of Sundays. The state is moving towards Islamisation," he said.
Dubey said that he would raise the issue in the Parliament if it is allowed to function. He also called for an investigation by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) into a "conspiracy to break the nation".
The BJP MP added, "Government of India should impose President's Rule in Jharkhand. If the entire state is moving towards Islamisation, Bangladesh refugees are being given shelter, ISI activities are increasing. What other options are there? If country doesn't survive, then nothing will survive. This is a big conspiracy to break the nation. Congress and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha are involved in this. Congress has broken the nation once, but wants to do it again."
Jharkhand officials have said that unilateral action by schools without government approval is being probed.

The Congress government in Rajasthan was left red-faced after party MLA Pana Chand Meghwal reportedly tendered his resignation over atrocities against Dalits. Meghwal cited that case of a 9-year-old Dalit boy who died after allegedly being thrashed by a teacher at school for touching a drinking water pot.
Meghwal said that he had no right to remain in a legislator if he could not protect the rights of the Dalit community and ensure justice. The Congress politician accused the state machinery of stalling the judicial process when it comes to atrocities against oppressed groups.
The MLA's letter handed ammunition to the Opposition BJP, which attacked Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, and claimed that crime was rising in the state.
The Congress countered by saying that the accused teacher had been arrested, the CM had condemned the Jalore incident, and crimes appear to be rising only because all incidents are being recorded, and not hidden.

Eleven sinister criminals - convicted in Bilkis Bano's gangrape and her family's murder case - were released from jail on 15 August 2022 under the Gujarat government's remission policy, according to news agency PTI.
In the violence following the 2002 Godhra incident, a pregnant Bilkis Bano and 4 other women members of her family had been gangraped. 14 members of Bilkis Bano's family had also been reportedly murdered.
Eleven convicts had been sentenced to life imprisonment by a special CBI court in Mumbai in January 2008. The verdict was upheld by the Bombay High Court.

The panel recommended remission for the 11 convicts, and the state government accepted it. On 15 August, the 11 convicts walked out of the Godhra sub-jail.
