A top Maoist leader with a bounty of Rs 5 lakh was killed in Jharkhand

Maoist leader Manish Yadav, with a bounty of Rs 5 lakh, was killed in a Jharkhand encounter. His associate, Kundan Singh Kharwar, was captured. Both were implicated in several high-profile crimes.

A member of the banned CPI (Maoist), who was carrying a bounty of Rs 5 lakh on his head, was killed in a gunfight with security forces in Jharkhand's Latehar district on Monday, a senior police official said.
Another red rebel was arrested during the operation, he said.
The encounter between security forces and Maoists broke out early on Monday in a forest in Dauna area under the Netarhat Police Station limits, he said.
"Manish Yadav, who was carrying a reward of Rs 5 lakh on his head, was killed in the gunfight with security forces. Another Maoist, Kundan Singh Kharwar, was arrested," Palamu DIG YS Ramesh told PTI.
Kundan, a zonal commander of the organisation, is carrying a bounty of Rs 10 lakh on his head, Palamu IG Sunil Bhaskar said.
Two X-95 automatic rifles and ammunition were recovered from his possession.
Acting on a tip-off about the presence of Kundan and his squad in Dauna area, a team of security personnel, led by Latehar SP Kumar Gaurav, launched a search operation, a police statement said.
As soon as the Maoists spotted the security personnel around 1.30 am on Monday, they started firing and the team retaliated, the release said.
As Maoists felt that they could be overpowered by security personnel, the red rebels started fleeing the spot during which Kundan was caught with arms.
Later, the body of Manish was found during the search operation, the statement said.
&ldquo;Manish and Kundan have been active in CPI (Maoist) for the past 12 years. Manish was wanted in 40 cases, while Kundan in 27 cases in several police stations of Garhwa, Latehar and Chhatisgarh,&rdquo; Ramesh said.
Both of them were involved in several incidents, including an encounter on January 7, 2013 at Amwatikar Tola under the Barwadih Police Station limits, in which 10 police personnel were killed and 15 injured, he said.
Ramesh said the two red rebels were also involved in an attack on the patrolling party during parliamentary elections at Lukaiya More under the Chandwa Police Station limits on November 22, 2019, in which four police personnel had been killed.
The operation on Monday was conducted barely two days after two Maoists, including JJMP supremo Pappu Lohra, who was carrying a bounty of Rs 10 lakh on his head, were killed in an anti-Naxal operation by security forces in the district.
On May 24, Lohra, the chief of the proscribed Jharkhand Jan Mukti Parishad (JJMP), a Maoist splinter group, and his associate Prabhat Ganjhu, the sub-zonal commander of the organisation, were killed during the operation.
Ganjhu was carrying a bounty of Rs 5 lakh on his head.
The joint operation was carried out by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the Jharkhand Police in the Ichabar forest area under the Latehar Police Station limits.
Lohra was wanted in 98 cases, including murder, extortion, and arson, across several districts such as Lohardaga, Gumla, Chatra, Palamu, and Latehar, while Ganjhu was wanted in 15 cases.
Both were allegedly involved in the killing of Jharkhand Jaguar deputy commandant Rajesh Kumar during an operation in September 2021.

Sheikh Sajjad Gul, leading TRF, masterminded the Pahalgam attack in Kashmir, resulting in 26 fatalities. Operating under Lashkar-e-Taiba's shield, Gul has led numerous violent assaults impacting regional security.

Sheikh Sajjad Gul: TRF Leader Behind Pahalgam Attack

Sheikh Sajjad Gul, the TRF leader from Kashmir, orchestrated the Pahalgam terror attack, killing 26. Operating from Rawalpindi with Lashkar-e-Taiba, his actions have destabilized the region over several years.

Sajjad Gul linked to Kashmir horror

Kashmir's Sheikh Sajjad Gul is the mastermind behind the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives. Operating from Rawalpindi under Lashkar-e-Taiba, he has led several violent acts targeting Kashmir's stability.

Sheikh Sajjad Gul, a 50-year-old Kashmiri and head of Lashkar-e-Taiba proxy The Resistance Front (TRF), has emerged as the mastermind of the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people, mostly tourists, on April 22, officials said Wednesday.
Holed up in the cantonment town of Rawalpindi, Pakistan, under the patronage of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Gul, who also goes by the alias of Sajjad Ahmed Sheikh, has been a planner of a number of terror attacks, including targeted killings between 2020 and 2024 in Central and South Kashmir, grenade attacks in Central Kashmir in 2023, the ambush of J&amp;K police personnel in Bijbehra in Anantnag, and the Gagangir Z-Morh Tunnel attack in Ganderbal.
The NIA had designated him a terrorist in April 2022 and kept a reward of Rs 10 lakh on his head.
The official said that during the investigation into the deadly April 22 Pahalgam attack, links and some communications have been traced back to Gul. The TRF had claimed responsibility for the attack.
The group, under Gul's instruction, had shot 25 tourists at point-blank range after asking their religion in Pahalgam on April 22. A local tourist guide was also killed by the terrorists.
Used by Pakistan's external snooping agency ISI as a Kashmiri face of the local Punjabi-dominated Lashkar-e-Taiba, Sheikh was educated in Srinagar and did his MBA in Bangalore, later pivoting to a lab technician course in Kerala. He returned to the Valley, where he opened a diagnostic lab and started providing logistical support to the terror group.
During his work as an overground worker (OGW) of the terror group, Gul was caught by the Special Cell of the Delhi police in 2002 at Nizamuddin Railway Station with 5 kilograms of RDX. It was revealed that he was conducting a recce and conspiring to conduct serial blasts in the national capital, for which he was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment on August 7, 2003.
He moved to Pakistan after his release from prison in 2017, where the ISI chose him to lead a proxy of the LeT &mdash; The Resistance Front (TRF)&mdash;in Kashmir in 2019 to give it a facade of an indigenous terror movement of Jammu and Kashmir.
The creation of TRF was a strategy of the ISI in the aftermath of the Pulwama incident in February 2019, when Pakistan had come to the adverse notice of the world for sponsoring and harboring terror outfits like LeT and JeM.
His brother, an ex-doctor in Shri Maharaja Hari Singh Hospital, Srinagar, was also a terrorist in the 1990s who had migrated to Saudi Arabia and later to Pakistan, where he is now involved in terror funding with fugitives in Gulf countries.

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Kashmir's Hurriyat leader, was placed under house arrest, barred from his Friday sermon at Jamia Masjid. His statement emphasized religious rights infringement and opposition to the Waqf Amendment Act by local religious groups.

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Denied Jamia Masjid Sermon

Kashmir's chief cleric, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, announces house arrest, barring him from Jamia Masjid sermons. This highlights ongoing tensions and religious rights issues, further amplified by opposition to the Waqf Amendment Act by local religious groups.

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, was placed under house arrest, barred from his Friday sermon at Jamia Masjid

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Kashmir's chief cleric and Hurriyat leader, was placed under house arrest, preventing his Friday sermon. He condemned the infringement on his religious rights and shared a resolution against the Waqf Amendment Act.

Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Friday said he was put under house arrest and not allowed to offer the congregational prayers at the Jamia Masjid here.
Mirwaiz, who is Kashmir's chief cleric, delivers a sermon at the historic mosque in the Nowhatta locality of the city on Fridays, and was scheduled to do so today as well.
But in a post on X, he said, "Yet again, this Friday put under house arrest and barred from offering prayers at Jama Masjid. It is is both heartbreaking and outrageous that authorities continue to trample on my basic religious rights at their will." The Mirwaiz, who lives in the city's Nigeen area, also posted a copy of a resolution formulated by the Mutahida Majlis Ulema (MMU) -- an amalgam of several religious bodies -- against the Waqf Amendment Act.
"Mutahida Majlis-e-Ulama Jammu &amp; Kashmir, expresses its concern regarding several provisions of the new law, which are being widely viewed by the Muslim community as affecting the established and religious character of the Waqf institution in India," the resolution reads.
The resolution was to be read out in mosques, shrines, and Imambaras across J-K during Friday prayers.
The resolution said the new legislation introduces significant changes in the management and supervision of Waqf properties, and many feel that it may diminish the role and authority of the Muslim community in overseeing its religious endowments, which have traditionally been managed in accordance with Islamic principles.
The resolution was formulated by the MMU after its meeting on the issue was not allowed on Wednesday.
The MMU said the "reduction in the powers" of Muslim-led Waqf Boards, and the greater role now assigned to government authorities and non-Muslim officials, has led to apprehensions that the core religious and charitable purpose of Waqf may not be fully understood or upheld.
"The provision allowing non-Muslims to be appointed to the Central and State Waqf Boards, and the removal of the earlier condition that the CEO of a Waqf Board must be a Muslim, has been viewed by the community as a deviation from the spiritual and religious ethos of Waqf management," it said.
The religious amalgam said the transfer of key decision-making powers to district collectors, including the authority to determine whether a property is Waqf or not, may lead to unilateral decisions and a weakening of the role of Waqf Boards.
"This is of particular concern in the context of ongoing disputes involving Waqf properties in various regions," it added.
The MMU said the removal of the concept of 'Waqf by long-standing use', which protected mosques, graveyards, and other Islamic sites used for generations without formal documentation, may result in the loss of such properties simply due to a lack of official records.
"Changes in the functioning of Waqf Tribunals, allowing for appeals in High Courts, may lead to prolonged legal proceedings and delays in the resolution of matters affecting religious endowments," it said.
The MMU said it reaffirms its full support to the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) and will stand by the Board in whatever course of action it deems appropriate to address the issues arising from the new law.
It also called upon the Muslim community to remain united, aware, and engaged, and to support all peaceful and lawful efforts for the protection and proper functioning of the religious institutions and endowments.

Veteran BJP leader and former Union minister Debendra Pradhan has passed away at age 84. Known as a pivotal figure in Odisha's BJP growth, his contributions include serving as state president and a key minister in the Vajpayee government.

Debendra Pradhan: BJP Leader Passes at 84

Veteran BJP leader Debendra Pradhan, known for his integral role in Odisha's BJP growth, passed away at 84. He held key positions in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, leaving a lasting impact on the party's history in the region.

Veteran BJP leader Debendra Pradhan passes away at 84

Debendra Pradhan, a veteran BJP leader and former Union minister, passed away at 84. He was instrumental in the BJP's growth in Odisha, serving as state president and in national roles.

Debendra Pradhan, former Union minister and a key architect of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Odisha during the 1980s, passed away on Monday at the age of 84.
Pradhan breathed his last at the official residence of his son, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, in New Delhi after a brief illness, as confirmed by family sources.
Born on July 16, 1941, in Talcher, which was then a part of the undivided Dhenkanal district, Pradhan pursued a medical career after obtaining his MBBS degree from SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack, in 1966.
He worked as a medical officer until 1973 when he resigned from the government service to engage in social work as a doctor.
His political journey took a decisive turn when he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in 1980, driven by the party's ideology. At a time when the Congress party dominated Odisha's political landscape, Pradhan's commitment saw him quickly rise through the ranks.
He became the president of the BJP's Talcher mandal and later the Dhenkanal district president within three years of joining.
Pradhan's influence in the party grew as he became the president of the Odisha BJP unit in 1988. He was re-elected to the position in 1990 and again in 1995. By 1997, he had risen to the party's national executive level.
His parliamentary career began with his election to the 12th Lok Sabha in 1998 from the now-defunct Deogarh constituency, a seat he successfully retained in 1999. During his first term, he served as the Minister of State for Surface Transport in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government and later as the Minister of State in the Ministry of Agriculture in his second term.
In 2001, Pradhan's stature within the BJP was further solidified with his appointment as the party's national vice-president.
Debendra Pradhan's passing marks the end of an era for the BJP in Odisha, with his contributions leaving an indelible mark on the party's history in the state.
