The Pune police have registered a FIR against three BJP workers for allegedly assaulting an NCP woman member in an auditorium here during a face-off between the two sides at a book release event attended by Union minister Smriti Irani, an official said on Tuesday.
The incident had taken place on Monday when workers of the Congress and NCP, which share power with the Shiv Sena in Maharashtra, staged protests against price rise outside a luxury hotel and the Bal Gandharva auditorium, where Irani attended events during her visit to Pune city.
"An offence was registered on late Monday night. We have booked three BJP workers under Indian Penal Code Sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt) and other relevant sections," Deccan Gymkhana police station's senior inspector Murlidhar Karpe said.
As per the FIR, the woman NCP functionary and three other party members had gone to the auditorium to give a memorandum to Irani over the rising inflation and LPG price hike issue.
The NCP woman member in her police complaint later alleged that she and other party functionaries were assaulted and heckled by BJP workers.
Following the face-off, a video showed the police present at the venue escorting four NCP women members out of the auditorium.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday launched two indigenously built warships 'Surat' and 'Udaygiri' at the Mazagon Docks in Mumbai.
This is the first time that the two indigenously built warships have been launched concurrently, the Mazgaon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd (MDL) said.
The MDL is a premier ship and submarine building defence public sector undertaking.
'Surat' is the fourth ship of Project 15B Destroyers, which heralds a significant makeover of the P15A (Kolkata Class) destroyers, and is named after the commercial capital of Gujarat and also the second largest commercial hub of western India after Mumbai, the Navy said.
The Project 15B class of ships are the Navy's next generation stealth guided missile destroyers being built at the MDL.
'Udaygiri', named after a mountain range in Andhra Pradesh, is the third ship of Project 17A Frigates. It is a follow on of the P17 Frigates (Shivalik Class) with improved stealth features, advanced weapons and sensors and platform management systems, the Navy said.
The new warship is the reincarnation of the erstwhile 'Udaygiri', the Leander Class ASW Frigate, which saw numerous challenging operations in its illustrious service to the country, spanning over three decades from February 1976 to August 2007, it added.

Metal fragments of all shapes and sizes have been falling from the sky in Gujarat over the last week. 
On May 12, 3 metal balls fell in Bhalej, Khambholaj and Rampura villages of Gujarat's Anand district. The police at that time had said that preliminary inspection shows that the metal balls could be part of a satellite. 
More such incidents have been reported from Vadodara, Kheda and Sojitra districts since then. 
Forensic experts have been called, a team from ISRO has collected samples but there has been no comment from them so far. 
Providing one explanation for the incidents, astronomer Jonathan McDowell had tweeted on May 12 that the debris could possibly be from the 're-entry of the third stage of a Chinese launch rocket.  The rocket had lifted off on September 9, 2021, carrying a 5,500-kg communication satellite to geostationary transit orbit.
In an interview to Indian Express, Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, said that he was identifying the debris based on tracking data which shows that the Chinese launch rocked was the only reentry that went near India on May 12. 
He also told Indian Express that though the predicted path was 1000 kms north of villages where the metal objects fell but it is within the uncertainities range.

Is India opening up its Embassy in Afghanistan? According to a source-based report in The Indian Express New Delhi is exploring the possibility of reopening its embassy in Kabul soon, but without top-level diplomatic representation.The report quoting unnamed sources said that a team of security officials flew to Kabul in February to assess the ground situation.
Stating that it would not mean a recognition of the Taliban regime, the sources told the newspaper that the embassy will likely function only with personnel for liaison purposes that may extend to consular services. The Indian security team that visited Kabul in February would have sought travel clearances from Taliban, and according to the newspaper's sources, met officials in the Taliban government. 
While the Taliban have said more than once in recent months that they would provide a secure environment for India to reopen its mission, India would be looking for solid guarantees from the regime on this front.

"Owaisi, listen to me - even a dog will not urinate on Aurangzeb's identity" - this statement by the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra has caused a huge nationwide controversy. BJP's Devendra Fadnavis has found support in some quarters, and faced flak from others.
The statement was made in reaction to AIMIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi visiting the tomb of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Fadnavis had said, "Asaduddin Owaisi visited Aurangzeb's grave and paid tribute. And all you did was watch. You should be ashamed of yourself. You should drown in a handful of water. Owaisi, listen to me - even a dog will not urinate on Aurangzeb's identity. Saffron flags will wave across India."
The Mayor of Srinagar, Junaid Mattu fired a veiled criticism at Fadnavis, saying, "May Allah (SWT)’s mercy and blessings be upon Hafiz-e-Quran, Shahenshah Hazrat Muhi-ud-Din Muhammad Aurangzeb (R.A.) and his grave."
Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar had also criticised Owaisi.He had said, "These people know the history of Maharashtra and India. What Aurangzeb did in his era is also known. It is not right for someone from outside Maharashtra to come to the state and create a new issue."
The Shiv Sena also objected to Owaisi's actions, calling it a bid to stoke communal tension in Maharashtra.
The NCP, Shiv Sena, and Congress are in power in Maharashta.

Amid claims that a 'shivling' has been found at the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi, a political war of words broke out.
The Bharatiya Janata Party, which is currently in power in Uttar Pradesh, celebrated the news. However, Opposition leaders like Asaduddin Owaisi challenged the shivling claim.
The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief said that the structure at Gyanvapi was a fountain, not a shivling. Owaisi said, "'Baba' has not been found. Regarding the claim that a shivling has been found, the mosque committee has said that it is a fountain. Every mosque has such a fountain. The other important point is that the court-appointed commissioner did not approach the court. The petitioners' lawyer rushed to court and the judge issued an order. If there was a shivling, then the court-appointed commissioner should have said it."
The AIMIM chief also questioned the validity of the court order to seal the 'wuzu' pond where the alleged shivling was found. He said, "The court's order to seal the mosque area is in violation of the 1991 Act passed by Parliament. Read paragraph 83 of the Supreme Court's verdict in Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi title suit. SC said that the 1991 Act is part of the Constitution's basic structure."
In response, Keshav Prasad Maurya, deputy chief minister of UP, said, "When Congress was in power, it used to bring laws which exacerbate such issues. At that time, the Ram Janmabhoomi campaign was taking place. (The 1991 Act was implemented) to prevent similar campaigns elsewhere. A shivling has not emerged there because of a campaign. A court was hearing a case, and upon its orders, a survey was done. According to the survey report, Baba Vishwanath has been found there. We are all celebrating. Statements by the Muslim side, or other politicians who practice appeasement, should stop. The situation in UP is very good."
The official report of the court-mandated survey of the mosque was not known by May 16. The claim that a shivling has been found was made by one of the petitioners.
A Varanasi court is currently hearing petitions filed by some Hindu women seeking permission to pray regularly at the Shringar Gauri shrine situated at one of the walls of the masjid.

Photographs and videos of Bajrang Dal activists allegedly undergoing training holding air guns and 'trishul deeksha' have gone viral on social media.
According to sources, the camp was part of the 'Shaurya Prashikshana Varga' that took place from May 5 to 11 at Sai Shankar Educational Institute, at Ponnampet in Kodagu district.
About 400 activists were said to have taken part in the Bajrang Dal-organised event.
A Bajarang Dal activist said, the participants were trained in self-defence, but no arms were distributed as alleged in some quarters.

Congress leaders expressed concern over the training camp.
AICC in-charge of Tamil Nadu, Puducherry & Goa and MLA Dinesh Gundu Rao in a tweet said, "Why are BajrangDal members receiving arms training? Isn't training in firearms without a proper license an offence? Isn't this a violation of the Arms Act 1959, Arms Rules 1962? And Why are @BJP4India leaders openly attending and supporting this activity?" Congress MLA Rizwan Arshad tweeted: "At this age, most young men set out to achieve dreams. In K'atka, Bajrang Dal is destroying young lives by training them to unleash violence in the name of religion. This needs to be stopped at any cost".
Police said they have not received any complaint so far.

A fire mysteriously breaks out on a bus carrying Hindu pilgrims from Vaishno Devi in Jammu and Kashmir. 4 people die, 24 are injured.
Days after this incident caused alarm in the Union Territory, it appears that this was a terror attack. But more significantly, the possible modus operandi used is the same as Taliban in Afghanistan.
The fire on the bus near Katra was caused by a 'sticky bomb', according to BJP's J&K unit chief Ravinder Raina. The BJP leader claimed that this had been discovered during a forensic probe by the National Investigation Agency, or NIA.
So, what are sticky bombs? And what is their link to the Taliban?
Sticky bombs refer to explosives usually used on vehicles. Explosives packed into small box, and a magnet and a mobile phone are attached to box. When the attacker dials phone number programmed into the mobile, the explosives are triggered and a blast occurs.
Such bombs are usually stuck on the underside of vehicles. They were widely used by Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. Subsequently, sticky bombs were also adopted by ISIS-Khorasan against Taliban in the war-torn country.
The latest development comes amid the Indian Army's warning that weapons from Afghanistan were trickling into Kashmir. India has been fearing Taliban's interference in Kashmir ever since the extremist organisation snatched power in Afghanistan in 2021.
Meanwhile, a little-known terror group called the Jammu Kashmir Freedom Fighters, has claimed responsibility for the attack. However, authorities are yet to officially reveal findings of the investigation.

In an unusual case, a former interim chief of the CBI was fined Rs 10,000. This after he repeatedly approached courts to get a blue tick on Twitter.
The penalty on retired IPS officer M Nageswara Rao was imposed by the Delhi High Court on May 17. Rao had filed a petition against Twitter's decision to remove the blue tick from his account. The blue tick is a sign that the account is verified.
In April 2022, the High Court had asked Rao to re-apply for the verified status. On May 17, the court asked the former IPS officer why he had filed another petition so soon.
In the latest petition, Rao had accused Twitter of violating various Constitutional provisions, including impairing his right to free speech. The blue tick was removed from the former CBI interim director's account in March 2022.

In a fresh terror attack on civilians in Jammu and Kashmir, a liquor shop was targeted in Baramulla. Terrorists hurled a grenade at the newly-opened liquor store, killing one person and injuring 3 others.
The attack occurred in a high-profile area housing offices of many police officials, as well as Army and CRPF camps, as per reports. The grenade was reportedly thrown in via the opening used to hand over liquor bottles to customers.
All the victims were employees at the shop. They were identified as Ranjit Singh, Goverdhan Singh, Govind Singh, and Ravi Kumar. They were rushed to a hospital where one succumbed to his injuries.
Heavy deployment of security personnel was seen in the area following the attack.
Kavinder Gupta, BJP leader and former Deputy CM of J&amp;K, said, "The terror outfit called Jammu &amp; Kashmir Freedom Fighters attacked a liquor store in Baramulla. A person named Ranjit Singh, hailing from Rajouri was killed. 3 people were injured. Constantly targeting minorities is intolerable. Security forces will find the attackers. This is a serious issue in view of the upcoming Amarnath Yatra, and also the ongoing tourist season. Security forces are doing good work. Many terrorists have been neutralised. But equipment like CCTVs need to be installed so that such criminals are more easily found."

Did terrorists attack a bus carrying many Vaishno Devi pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir? Even as investigation details are awaited, a video allegedly released by a little-known terror group is doing the rounds.
In the unverified video, a man is seen with his face covered, and with guns and bombs around him. The man claims to represent a terror outfit called Jammu and Kashmir Freedom Fighters (JKFF).
He claims that the JKFF carried out the attack on the bus near Katra using an IED, or an improvised explosive device. A BJP leader had earlier claimed that a sticky bomb, or an explosive attached to a vehicle using magnets, was used in the attack.
The JKFF terrorist claims RSS' Hindutva agenda as motive for the attack. He adds that more such strikes will be carried out in future against similar targets.
The threat assumes significance as the Amarnath Yatra is set to begin from June 30, after a gap of 2 years.
