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.
After having spent over 15 years in jail, one of the convicts reportedly approached the Supreme Court for premature release. The apex court asked the Gujarat government to decide the matter, and subsequently a committee was formed.
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.

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.

Army jawan's body found 38 years after he went missing in Siachen

Harbola was part of a 20-member troop that was dispatched to the world's highest battlefield for 'Operation Meghdoot' to fight Pakistan in 1984.

The body of an army jawan was found in an old bunker in Siachen, 38 years after he went missing in an avalanche while on patrol.
The Sainik Group Centre in Ranikhet on Sunday identified the body as that of Chandrashekhar Harbola of the 19 Kumaon Regiment.
Harbola was part of a 20-member troop that was dispatched to the world's highest battlefield for 'Operation Meghdoot' to fight Pakistan in 1984.
During patrolling, they encountered an ice storm. While the bodies of 15 soldiers were recovered, those of the other five could not be found and Harbola was one among them.
His wife Shanti Devi, originally from Almora, currently lives in Saraswati Vihar Colony here. His body is expected to reach Haldwani in Uttarakhand late on Monday.
Haldwani sub-collector Manish Kumar and tehsildar Sanjay Kumar, who reached Harbola's house, said his last rites will be performed with full military honours.
Shanti Devi said at the time, they were married for nine years and that she was 28. Their elder daughter at the time was four and the younger one was one and a half years old.

Shanti Devi said Harbola had last arrived home in January 1984, during which he had promised to return soon. However, Shanti Devi said she was proud of her husband as he prioritised his service to the country over the promises made to the family.
According to information available, Harbola, a resident of Dwarahat in Almora, had enlisted in the army in 1975.
Reportedly, the body of another soldier was also found but his identity was yet to be ascertained.&nbsp;

J-K accepted national flag with constitutional guarantee for its own flag: Mehbooba

Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti on Monday, in a series of tweets on Monday, said the people of Jammu and Kashmir accepted the national tricolour in 1947 but with certain constitutional guarantees such as their own flag and a separate constitution, which were "bulldozed in 2019".

She alleged that Kashmiris were threatened with consequences and made to hoist the national flag on Independence Day by the J&amp;K administration.

"Lest we forget, people of J&amp;K accepted Indian flag in October 1947. But on certain conditions &amp; constitutional guarantees like their own flag &amp; a separate constitution way before BJP&rsquo;s ideological parent - the RSS accepted it," Mehbooba said in a series of tweets on Independence Day.
She posted a photograph from the 1950s showing India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru addressing a gathering in Srinagar's Lal Chowk.
"Jawahar Lal Nehru standing tall between two flags, the Indian national flag &amp; J&amp;Ks state flag adopted constitutionally in 1952 &amp; bulldozed in 2019 to fulfil BJPs divisive agenda. Now, every foundational value that the Indian flag stands for too lies in peril," she said.
She questioned the claims of the Jammu and Kashmir administration that scores of Kashmiris had hoisted the national flag on the occasion of the 76th Independence Day.
The former chief minister, "JK admin shamelessly boasts about Kashmiris hoisting Indian flag. Truth is they were threatened to do so or else face the consequences. Post 75 years of accession, GOI used all the might at its disposal to force people here to join its charade of pseudo &amp; monetised patriotism," she wrote and posted a video in support of her allegations.&nbsp;

Assam to withdraw one lakh minor cases, including those filed for social media posts: Himanta on I-Day

Speaking at an Independence Day event, Sarma said there are about four lakh cases pending in the lower judiciary.

Assam government will withdraw one lakh minor cases, including those filed for social media posts, to reduce the burden on the lower judiciary, announced Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday.
Speaking at a flag hoisting ceremony held in Guwahati to mark the 76th Independence Day, Sarma said there are about four lakh cases pending in the lower judiciary.
He said the government has decided that minor cases registered before midnight of August 14, 2021, will be withdrawn, adding that this will enable the judiciary to focus on more heinous crimes such as rapes and murders.
In an apparent message to militant groups ULFA(I) and NSCN who called for a 'boycott'' of Independence Day celebrations and 'total shutdown' in Assam and other Northeastern states,&nbsp; Sarma asserted that Assam is an integral part of India and that those who are still dreaming of "sovereignty" should return to the discussion table.
The mass participation in the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' programme in the state since Saturday has brought to fore the patriotic feeling that is inherent in each person's heart, the chief minister said.

A row between two groups over installing flex of Hindutva icon V D Savarkar and 18th century Mysuru ruler Tipu Sultan at Amir Ahmad Circle here, has led to tense situation in the area, forcing authorities to clamp prohibitory orders in the city, police said on Monday.
Meanwhile, a person named Prem Singh in his mid twenties was allegedly stabbed by unidentified miscreants here when he was on his way home after locking the shop, and police are inquiring to ascertain whether the incident has any links with the flex row, police sources said. He is currently undergoing treatment at McGann Hospital.
As part of the 76th Independence Day celebrations, one group had tried to tie Savarkar's flex to the high mast light pole at the circle, to which the other group objected and wanted to install Tipu Sultan's flex there.
Allegedly there was an attempt by some to replace or damage the flex, police sources said, adding that this led to a tense situation in the area, as a large number of people from both sides had gathered there.
Police had to resort to a mild lathicharge to bring the situation under control and to disperse the crowd. Officials have installed the national tricolour at the place where both groups wanted to install the flex.
The BJP and other Hindu groups staged a protest demanding that they be allowed to install Savarkar's flex and action against the other group for insulting their icon.
Authorities have deployed additional forces in the area and have clamped prohibitory orders under Section 144 of Criminal Procedure Code in the entire city.

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.
