Chandigarh: A suspected member of the proscribed Khalistani outfit Babbar Khalsa International was injured in police firing after he tried to escape from custody in Jalandhar, the Punjab Police's top official said on Monday.
Simranjit Singh alias Bablu is an accused in the murder of former militant Rattandeep Singh in SBS Nagar on April 3, said Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav.  He was arrested during a special check in Jalandhar's Deol Nagar Colony late on Sunday.  Hours after his arrest, a police team was escorting him to a location near Wadala along the Jalandhar-Nakodar Road where he claimed to have concealed the pistol suspected to have been used in Rattandeep Singh's murder.  "On reaching the location, the accused tried to escape after pushing away a police officer, forcing the team to open fire that resulted in gunshot injuries (to Bablu)," the DGP said and added the accused was taken to the nearest hospital.  Bablu suffered bullet injuries on both legs.  The police seized two sophisticated weapons -- a .32 Webley revolver and a .32 pistol, alongside a magazine and 19 live rounds -- from Bablu.
Yadav said preliminary investigations revealed Bablu was working on the directions of Pakistan-based terrorist Harwinder Rinda and US-based Gopi Nawanshehria, who tasked him and the other assailant -- identified as Jaspreet Singh alias Jassi Kulam -- with Rattandeep Singh's murder.  Jassi Kulam managed to flee abroad after committing the crime.  Bablu is a hardcore criminal and facing numerous cases of murder, attempt to murder, the police said.  He was also allegedly involved in the assassination of an assistant sub-inspector in Amritsar.

New Delhi: Madhya Pradesh state government's inspection of a Som Group distillery said child labourers, some aged between 13 and 17, were made to fill and pack liquor bottles and worked long hours.
Police are investigating the use of child labour at the distillery in Madhya Pradesh state after the federal government's National Commission for Protection of Child Rights said last month it had found 58 children working illegally at the factory.  The commission released photos of some with hands showing chemical burns and said some children were transported in school buses for factory work.  A day after the children were found on June 15, an inspection report was drafted by the state's industrial health and safety department based on interviews with 27 workers, the youngest among them being 13 years old. The state says those aged under 21 cannot work in a liquor factory.  The report, which is not public but was seen by Reuters, says children were working 11-hour shifts starting at 8 am.  Som and the Madhya Pradesh government did not respond to Reuters' requests for comment.  In a submission to the state government on June 18, also seen by Reuters, Som said some children would visit the company to deliver food and medicines to their parents, and no worker was younger than 21.  Som is one of the smaller distilleries in India's thriving alcohol industry, where both foreign and domestic players operate. Its website describes it as an "internationally acclaimed brand" available in more than 20 markets including the United States, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.  The incident has drawn attention to child labour in Indian supply chains. In 2021, Reuters reported an external audit of two Carlsberg warehouses found underage labourers at a location in the eastern state of Jharkhand. Carlsberg at the time said it had terminated the services of the third-party provider.
In the Som inspection report, the state government said the children working there were not given training on how they could protect themselves from harmful chemicals.  "Since it is hazardous work, there should have been a health centre at the factory," the report said.  The Madhya Pradesh government temporarily suspended the Som distillery's manufacturing licences, but the company has challenged the decision, saying there has been no conclusive finding of wrongdoing.  After Som's challenge, a local court put the state's decision on hold and said it would next hear the case later this month.  In a statement to the stock exchange last month, Som Distilleries and Breweries Ltd said the Madhya Pradesh plant was run by its "associate private limited company" and used labour supplied by contractors who may not have carried out proper age checks. The listed company's shares have fallen by 8 per cent since the children were found at the factory.

Palghar: The deposition by an intellectually challenged 16-year-old girl, who also cannot speak, using sign language led to the conviction of her rapist in Maharashtra’s Palghar district.
A special court in Vasai that hears cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act on Friday sentenced the convict, a 48-year-old labourer, to life imprisonment.  In his order, Special POCSO Judge S V Kongal also fined convict Sanehi Shrikisan Gaud Rs 10,000.  During the trial, Special Public Prosecutor Jayprakash Patil told the court that Gaud raped the girl, who lived in his neighbourhood, in January 2017 when there was nobody in her house.
The child later narrated the sexual assault to her mother through gestures, prompting her family to file a police complaint against Gaud, who is married and has two children.  Patil said nine prosecution witnesses, including the survivor who communicated through sign language, testified in the court.  The court said the girl has moderate intellectual disability and she cannot understand “good-bad, right-wrongs of the crime, which makes the act a serious one”.  “Considering the nature of offence, I am of the view that maximum sentence will have to be awarded to the accused,” said the judge in his order awarding life sentence to Gaud.

The incident took place at around 3:30 pm when Kangana was about to board a flight to Delhi. Earlier today, Ranaut was allegedly slapped by a CISF constable while she was headed to Delhi to attend a meeting of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), scheduled for tomorrow. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Kangana Ranaut leader took to her social media account and asked how growing "extremism" and "terrorism" can be ended in Punjab. "I am safe. I am perfectly fine. The incident took place during the security check. After I was done with the security check, a woman constable of the CISF waited for me to pass through the cabin. Later, she came from the side, hit me in the face and started abusing me", Ranaut said in a post on 'X'.

"When I asked her why she did this, she told me that she (CISF official) had supported the farmers' protest. My (Kangana) question is how we end growing extremism and terrorism in Punjab", the BJP leader added. Meanwhile, the CISF constable said that her mother was among the farmers holding a sit-in protest against the farm laws, which now have been repealed. "She stated that the farmers are sitting there for Rs 100. Will she go and sit there? My mother was sitting there and protesting when she gave this statement..." she said. The 15-month-long farmers' protest was held against the farm laws (now repealed) including other issues. Kangana Ranaut defeated Congress candidate Vikramaditya Singh from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi by a margin of 74,755 votes.
