So Bihar govt is now asking people to report their neighbours whom the people suspect to be illegal immigrants (like Bangladeshis).
No prize for guessing who are going to get reported the most.

Chinese PLA in Uttarakhand's Barahoti, returns after damaging bridge
Over 100 PLA soldiers crossed the border at Barahoti in Uttarakhand last month, damaged some infrastructure, including a bridge, before retreating, according to officials aware of the situation. The transgression, even as disengagement of troops in eastern Ladakh has been progressing well, has sounded the alarm bells in the central sector.
While Barahoti has not been a major border flashpoint in recent years - minor transgressions are often reported - the place was the first area which saw transborder intrusions by the Chinese, in 1954, which later expanded to other areas and culminated in the 1962 war.
The incident on August 30 did not result in a face-off as PLA soldiers returned before they could be confronted. Over 100 soldiers and 55 horses transgressed over 5 km of Indian territory by crossing the Tun Jun La Pass, security establishment insiders told ET.
While there have been minor PLA transgressions in the sector over the past few years - the last one in July - the scale was much larger, leading to concern in New Delhi given continuing border tensions in eastern Ladakh. Government officials confirmed that Chinese soldiers along with military horses had come to the grazing ground near Barahoti, crossing the Tun Jun La Pass.
It is believed that the group stayed in the vicinity for around three hours. Since the area is a demilitarised zone, the presence of a large number of PLA soldiers led to concern within the security establishment. Sources said the transgression was reported by locals following which teams from ITBP and Army sent across a patrol to verify. However, the Chinese troops vacated before the patrol reached the area, it is learnt.
The Barahoti ridge lies north of the Nanda Devi National Park and troops trek to it from the last motorable point. The ridge is connected to Joshimath, where the Indian Army and ITBP have camps to counter any major PLA operations. The ITBP monitors the nearly 350 km border in Uttarakhand which is part of the Line of Actual Control that divides India and China.
A home ministry official said that Indian and Chinese perceptions about LAC differ, which lead to frequent incursions in the area. An ITBP spokesperson, when contacted, refused to comment. Officials acknowledged that activities of PLA troops have gone up in the region in the past few months. "Earlier also several attempts were made by PLA to infiltrate the Barahoti area. Additional troops have been deployed in the central sector now," said another official. Intelligence agencies have also flagged Chinese activity at the air base near Barahoti. The PLA has also substantially increased its defence across the LAC in the region since the border confrontation in Ladakh last year.

20 Indian soldiers put down their lives in Galwan in Feb and the PM straight forward said Chinese soldiers didn't even enter Indian land. As if the dead soldiers had crossed the border and picked up a fight with Chinese and killed themselves.Chinese PLA in Uttarakhand's Barahoti, returns after damaging bridge

Adityanath fan ‘beaten to death’ by Uttar Pradesh police
An “admirer” of Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath who had gone to Gorakhpur to see the “development work” done by the leader died after being allegedly beaten up by police in his hotel room for taking too much time producing his identity proof. Manish Gupta, a 36-year-old Kanpur-based real estate developer and father of a boy aged 5, was allegedly hit on the head repeatedly with a rifle butt. A case of murder has been registered against six policemen. The six suspects are on the run, the police said.
The incident took place late on Monday night but came to light after Manish’s wife arrived in Gorakhpur and began a dharna on Tuesday night, claiming her husband had been an Adityanath “admirer”. After Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra spoke to Meenakshi, Manish’s wife, over the phone and criticised the police for their “barbaric” behaviour, the six cops were booked for murder. The chief minister spoke to Meenakshi over the phone and announced a compensation of Rs 10 lakh for the family.
The police had initially denied the allegations of assault and said Manish had been drunk and injured himself when he fell down during questioning. The police had entered the hotel room after receiving information that three “suspicious” people had been staying in a hotel room, booked under a false identity. Manish had checked into the Gorakhpur hotel on Monday morning with friends Harveer Singh of Mewat in Haryana and Pradeep Kumar of Gurgaon. All three are real estate dealers.
Pradeep said: “We had checked into Hotel Krishna Palace on Monday and gone to see Ramgarh Tal, a huge pond that is a tourist attraction. We had planned to visit the Gorakhnath temple on Tuesday.” Harveer said: “We were sleeping in our room when some policemen barged in late on Monday night and demanded to see our identity cards. Pradeep and I showed them our IDs but Manish was taking some time finding his. The policemen began slapping and kicking him. “When Manish tried to call someone over the phone and begged with the police to spare him as he had come to Gorakhpur to see how it had developed, the policemen forcibly took him to Ramgarh Tal police station. They hit him on the head repeatedly with the butt of a rifle.”
Harveer said he and Pradeep came to know after some time that Manish had been taken to the Baba Raghav Das Medical College Hospital. “When we arrived there, doctors said he had been brought dead,” Harveer said. According to records at Baba Raghav Das Medical College Hospital in Gorakhpur, Manish was brought there around 2.30am on Tuesday and declared dead on arrival.
Adityanath is the mahant of the Gorakhnath temple in Gorakhpur and represented the constituency in the Lok Sabha for several terms. Pradeep said the cops were heavily drunk and had refused to listen to them. “They assaulted us even more when we asked if they thought we were terrorists,” he said. Akshay Mishra, an inspector who was among those who entered the hotel room, said they had gone there “during the course of an inquiry”. “When we entered the room, Manish was drunk and he fell on the floor. Later, he died,” Mishra claimed.
The police said that on Monday night, the Ramgarh Tal police had come to know that three people had checked into the Gorakhpur hotel on the ID of one Chandan Saini of Mahadeva Bazar. The cops grew suspicious and entered the hotel room where Manish and his two friends were staying.
Meenakshi, her five-year-old son Aviraj in her lap, told reporters on Wednesday morning: “Tell me what I should say to my son when he grows up and asks me how his father died. His father was an admirer of Adityanath and had come to Gorakhpur to witness the development done by the chief minister. But the state’s police killed him. I will tell everybody that you will not return alive if you go to Gorakhpur.” She added: “Manish had spoken to Aviraj over the phone on Monday night. He had thought he would see how the chief minister’s hometown has grown but he has returned dead.”
Meenakshi said there were “several injury marks” on Manish’s body. “There is a crack on his skull…. I have heard that some policemen have been suspended. Why has the chief minister not ordered their arrest? Does he support them?” she said after returning to Kanpur. Later, Adityanath spoke to her. Manish’s farther Nand Kishore, a trader, said: “My family is finished. The government, police officers — whom should I hold responsible for the murder of my only son?”

One would expect beheadings over frivolous things coming from the taliban.
Atleast the afghans can claim that they didn't elect the taliban
.Even the Taliban would have no right to kill a person without following a procedure.
It's a baseless conspiracy theory accusing Muslim men of luring Hindu women into marriage with the aim of converting them to Islam. In almost all cases they will be simple people falling in love. Hardly religious fanatics wanting to convert India.

Members of VHP, Other Right-Wing Groups Vandalise Roorkee Church, Attack Those Praying
Dehradun: Over 200 unidentified men and women, allegedly belonging to local right-wing groups, vandalised a church in Roorkee on Sunday, October 3, injuring several people who had assembled for morning prayers.
According to the FIR registered by Prio Sadhana Lanse, the church pastor’s wife, over 200 men and women belonging to the local Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), Bajrang Dal and Bharatiya Janata Party’s youth wing, barged into the church and started vandalising it, while beating the churchgoers.
At around 10 am, the mob, armed with iron roads, destroyed chairs, tables, musical instruments and photographs that were in the church.
Speaking to The Wire over the phone, Lanse said that the attackers went on a rampage and smashed everything that came in their way.
“The frenzied mob, shouting slogans like ‘Vande mataram’ and ‘Bharat mata ki jai’, barged into the church, which is on the first floor of the building,” Lanse said. “They started beating our volunteers and the women attackers bashed up our womenfolk.” The vandalism went on for over 40 minutes and Rajat, a church volunteer, suffered serious head injuries. He has been shifted to a Dehradun government hospital where his condition is stated to be critical.
Lanse also alleged that the women present, including her daughter Pearl, were inappropriately touched by the attackers. Another church follower, Akshi Chauhan, confirmed this. “I saw that an aged man had forcibly hugged Pearl and she was struggling to free herself. When I went to rescue her (Pearl), an attacker asked me what I, being a Hindu, was doing in the church,” Chauhan told The Wire. The miscreants then allegedly dragged Chauhan away by her hair and beat her.
Sumit Kumar, an eyewitness, told The Wire that the attackers damaged the CCTV cameras fitted in the church premises before beginning their attack. “The women miscreants attacked the womenfolk of the church and the men broke everything: table, chairs, inverters and photos kept in the church,” said Kumar.
The church has been functional for over 35 years and after the death of pastor D.R. Lanse due to COVID-19 last year, his wife Sadhana organises the prayer meetings.
“Following COVID-19 protocol, we allow only 12 people to attend the Sunday prayers and the rest of community members are connected through video call. The attackers first damaged the mobile phone that was being used for the online prayers,” said Kumar. The attackers outnumbered the number of those in the prayer hall. One attacker, Kumar said, picked up the church guitar and started stringing the chord, menacingly showing it to the womenfolk in the prayer hall, and then smashed it on the floor. “The hooligans had a clear plan of first damaging the CCTV cameras and then snatching all our mobile phones before going on a rampage in the church. The attack on the church was well planned,” said Kumar.

Ive already heard two defenses which obviously have been debunked by this video:
1. The farmers had cornered the car therefore the driver tried to get away and accidentally ran over people.
2. The farmers were pelting stones on the car therefore the driver tried to get away and accidentally ran over people.
What worse is that a couple of days back the minister concerned threatened the farmers that he'd run them over with his car.
On top of that, the AG says to prevent these incidents, no one should be protesting.
https://www.hindustantimes.com/indi...lakhmipur-kheri-incident-101633335255896.html
Attorney General KK Venugopal, who was appearing for the Centre, said that there should be no further protests to prevent incidents like Lakhimpur Kheri.
Venugopal also expressed regret at Sunday's violence. "Such unfortunate incidents should not happen. The protests must stop," he said.
The judge hearing the case has already said that once a case is pending before the court the public has no right to protest. Don't be surprised if protests are banned except in designated far away spots.
Damn really? Do you have a source for this? I'd love to forward this to bhakts

Been talking to random people like cab drivers and hawkers to gauge who's going to win UP 2022. Although each and everyone of them is not satisfied with the BJP but because of Ayodhya and 'National Security" they are going to vote for Yogi. Expect BJP to win UP easily.
At least Modiji banned Chinese apps. The feck did Kohli do, apart from standing up for mullah Shami?
IIT Hyderabad Graduate Threatened Virat Kohli's Daughter Online: Police
The man who gave rape threats to Virat Kohli's daughter, an IIT Hyderabad graduate with a history of online trolling using multiple identities, is currently in prison in Mumbai after his arrest in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
Mumbai: The young man arrested over rape threats to Virat Kohli's nine-month-old daughter is an IIT Hyderabad graduate with a history of online trolling using multiple identities, the police said today. But to his family and friends, he was a diligent topper planning higher studies in the US.
Ram Nagesh Srinivas Akubathini, 23, is a software engineer who had been working with a prominent food delivery app in Bengaluru until a month ago. He quit his job to prepare for a master's degree in the US.
He is in lock-up in Mumbai after his arrest in Hyderabad on Wednesday. In a few days, he would have headed to a US University but he had not bargained on getting caught.
A class 10 topper, Ram Nagesh was known to study hard, well into the night. He kept to himself and his interactions were mostly online, according to those close to him.
A Telangana police officer said Ram Nagesh's father works in an ordnance factory at Sanga Reddy in Medak district. His father and a friend have gone with him to Mumbai.
Ram Nagesh, who reportedly ranked 2367 in the IIT-JEE or entrance exam, has a younger brother. The family, described as upper middle class, did not know of his trolling activities, the police say.
They just knew that he was passionate about cricket and had been upset after India's defeat in back-to-back T20 World Cup matches, first to Pakistan and then New Zealand.
Ram Nagesh followed an account called "Gappistan Radio" that had tweeted against Virat Kohli, which led to a Twitter war between fans and haters, said Mumbai police sources.
After his late night tweet threatening the cricket captain's baby daughter, Ram Nagesh allegedly deactivated the account in the morning, realising he had made a huge mistake. He deleted two more accounts. But Virat Kohli's manager had already complained to the Mumbai Police Cyber Cell and an FIR (First Information Report) had been filed.
His family claims he posted the rape threat "accidentally". He "must have mistyped after removing his lenses and he immediately deleted the post", his father said.
When the tweet screenshot went viral and was flagged to the police in Mumbai and Delhi, Ram Nagesh allegedly changed his Twitter handle (@ramanheist) and pretended to be a Pakistani user @criccrazyygirl. But his handle was tracked down by fact-check websites. He also used another handle, @pellikuturuhere, which means "bride" in Telugu and indicated that the twitter handle belonged to a Telugu-speaking person.
Vicious comments had appeared on social media after India's loss to Pakistan in the T20 World Cup in Dubai on October 24. Virat Kohli was also attacked after he spoke out against the incessant trolling of his teammate, Mohammed Shami, over his religion, after the loss.
"Attacking someone over their religion is the most pathetic thing one can do as a human. That is a very sacred and personal thing. People take out their frustration because they have no understanding of what we do," Virat Kohli had reporters before the match with New Zealand.
"We're playing on the field, we're not a bunch of spineless people on social media. This has become a source of entertainment for some people which is very sad. All this drama created on the outside is based on people's frustrations. We stand by him 200 per cent. Our brotherhood in the team cannot be shaken," Mr Kohli had said.

All this drama created on the outside is based on people's frustrations. We stand by him 200 per cent. Our brotherhood in the team cannot be shaken," Mr Kohli had said.

Yeah how the feck is he an IIT graduate. Hope he stays behind bars.IIT Hyderabad Graduate Threatened Virat Kohli's Daughter Online: Police
The man who gave rape threats to Virat Kohli's daughter, an IIT Hyderabad graduate with a history of online trolling using multiple identities, is currently in prison in Mumbai after his arrest in Hyderabad on Wednesday.
Mumbai: The young man arrested over rape threats to Virat Kohli's nine-month-old daughter is an IIT Hyderabad graduate with a history of online trolling using multiple identities, the police said today. But to his family and friends, he was a diligent topper planning higher studies in the US.
Ram Nagesh Srinivas Akubathini, 23, is a software engineer who had been working with a prominent food delivery app in Bengaluru until a month ago. He quit his job to prepare for a master's degree in the US.
He is in lock-up in Mumbai after his arrest in Hyderabad on Wednesday. In a few days, he would have headed to a US University but he had not bargained on getting caught.
A class 10 topper, Ram Nagesh was known to study hard, well into the night. He kept to himself and his interactions were mostly online, according to those close to him.
A Telangana police officer said Ram Nagesh's father works in an ordnance factory at Sanga Reddy in Medak district. His father and a friend have gone with him to Mumbai.
Ram Nagesh, who reportedly ranked 2367 in the IIT-JEE or entrance exam, has a younger brother. The family, described as upper middle class, did not know of his trolling activities, the police say.
They just knew that he was passionate about cricket and had been upset after India's defeat in back-to-back T20 World Cup matches, first to Pakistan and then New Zealand.
Ram Nagesh followed an account called "Gappistan Radio" that had tweeted against Virat Kohli, which led to a Twitter war between fans and haters, said Mumbai police sources.
After his late night tweet threatening the cricket captain's baby daughter, Ram Nagesh allegedly deactivated the account in the morning, realising he had made a huge mistake. He deleted two more accounts. But Virat Kohli's manager had already complained to the Mumbai Police Cyber Cell and an FIR (First Information Report) had been filed.
His family claims he posted the rape threat "accidentally". He "must have mistyped after removing his lenses and he immediately deleted the post", his father said.
When the tweet screenshot went viral and was flagged to the police in Mumbai and Delhi, Ram Nagesh allegedly changed his Twitter handle (@ramanheist) and pretended to be a Pakistani user @criccrazyygirl. But his handle was tracked down by fact-check websites. He also used another handle, @pellikuturuhere, which means "bride" in Telugu and indicated that the twitter handle belonged to a Telugu-speaking person.
Vicious comments had appeared on social media after India's loss to Pakistan in the T20 World Cup in Dubai on October 24. Virat Kohli was also attacked after he spoke out against the incessant trolling of his teammate, Mohammed Shami, over his religion, after the loss.
"Attacking someone over their religion is the most pathetic thing one can do as a human. That is a very sacred and personal thing. People take out their frustration because they have no understanding of what we do," Virat Kohli had reporters before the match with New Zealand.
"We're playing on the field, we're not a bunch of spineless people on social media. This has become a source of entertainment for some people which is very sad. All this drama created on the outside is based on people's frustrations. We stand by him 200 per cent. Our brotherhood in the team cannot be shaken," Mr Kohli had said.
