Alabama town abolishes police department after officer's slavery text surfaces
An Alabama town has disbanded its police department after texts between officers joking about slavery surfaced on social media.
"This has torn this community apart," City Councilman Corey Abrams said during a council meeting Thursday, according to the Associated Press. "It doesn’t matter what color we are as long as we do right by people."
Abrams' comments comeas Vincent, Alabama Mayor James Latimore confirmed that Vincent Police Chief James Srygley and Assistant Chief John L. Goss were fired after text messages allegedly sent between the city's police officers featured a joke about a pregnant slave.
ESCAPE OF KIDNAPPING VICTIM, 12, PROMPTED DISCOVERY OF TWO DECOMPOSING BODIES AT ALABAMA MOBILE HOME
"What do y’all call a pregnant slave?" asked a text message by someone identified only as "752."
An unidentified respondent texts back "?" in one message and "?? in a second, before "752" responds with "BOGO Buy one, get one free."
The texts later surfaced on social media, with Latimore on Tuesday saying "appropriate action has been taken" against the officer who was allegedly behind the text. By Thursday, the city council had voted to disband their police department.
Officer Lee Carden, the only other officer employed by the city, reportedly turned in his resignation shortly after the vote to disband the department.

The texts were Shelby County Sheriff’s Office on Friday, along with a vow to stand with the city and provide "emergency law enforcement related service to the citizens (of Vincent) at this time."
The city, located in central Alabama, has a population of just under 2,000 as of the 2020 census.
The City of Vincent's website includes a section with information about the town's police department, but as of Sunday the page was blank.
A Fox News request for comment from the city was not immediately returned.

Rare Honus Wagner baseball card sells for record-breaking price
One of the world’s rarest baseball cards was sold for an extraordinary price last week.
The famous T206 Honus Wagner sold for a record $7.25 million in a private sale facilitated by Goldin Auctions, the company said Thursday. It topped the price sold in August 2021. The card was sold for $6.6 million at that time.

"I’ve been in this business for a very long time and seen a lot of incredible trading cards and pieces of memorabilia, but there is nothing on earth like a T-206 card," Ken Goldin, the Goldin executive chairman and founder, said in a news release. "There’s a reason why no Wagner card has never sold for less than it was previously purchased for – the card is art, it’s history, it’s folklore. The T-206 is one of the reasons I do what I do and why serious collectors around the world love this hobby so much. To be a part of history and facilitate this record-breaking sale is an honor."
The Wagner card is considered to be the "Mona Lisa of baseball cards." There is thought to be fewer than 50 authenticated copies in the industry.
BOBBY BONILLA'S METS CONTRACT SELLS AT AUCTION FOR NEARLY $200K
The 1909-11 T206 card was graded in Good 2 condition on a scale of 1 to 10 from Sportscard Guaranty Corp (SGC).
Wagner, a Hall of Fame shortstop who played for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the early 1900s, was said to be upset that his likeness was being used on a tobacco product. He refused American Tobacco Co.’s request to use his image, which led to the company ceasing production of his card.
Wagner played baseball from 1897 to 1917. He played for the Louisville Colonels and the Pittsburgh Pirates. He helped the Pirates to a World Series in 1909 and won the batting title eight times.
He hit .328 for his career in 2,794 games.

Montgomery Co. Executive Race: Marc Elrich claims victory as David Blair calls for recount
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. - The tightly contested race to become the democratic nominee for Montgomery County Executive remains too close to call according the Associated Press, despite one candidate claiming victory and the other calling for a recount.
On Saturday night, the AP reported that incumbent Marc Elrich led David Blair by just 42 votes with 34 votes remaining to be counted.
Montgomery County election officials said of those votes, nine will be counted and the other 25 ballots were "rejected as untimely." Officials have not posted the results of those nine votes.

After the announcement, Elrich took to Twitter to claim victory in the race.
In his post, Elrich wrote, "I am honored to be the Democratic nominee for County Executive. I want to thank the voters. I love this county and care about our residents so very deeply."
He concluded the statement by writing, "I look forward to continuing to work together to help Montgomery County and all our residents succeed and thrive.

Despite Elrich claiming victory, his opponent David Blair released a statement Sunday writing in part, "after several weeks of counting and virtually all votes recorded, the Associated Press has declared this race too close to call. Given the extremely close margin, we will be requesting a full recount and are hopeful that the outcome will be in our favor."
Under Maryland law, the trailing candidate can request a recount within three days of the certification of the vote.
The razor-thin margin in the race means the recount would be done at no cost to either candidate.
More than 141,000 votes have been counted in the race.

Procter & Gamble responds to woman's viral claim of mystery object in tampon
A TikTok user has claimed to have found a small object inside an odd-looking tampon in a video she posted online.
The woman, named Celia, opened a Tampax brand applicator tampon and appeared to uncover the mystery object inside.
"I grabbed one from my Tampax bag because there is a shortage, so I’ve been using Tampax, not my organic, and look at this," she said in the video.
She opens several that she says are the typical purple color of the brand she was using before showing another that appears to be red and has the letters "SS" written or stamped across its applicator.
@cealpee hmmmmmm i had to record this??? @Tampax US wtf is this????? #tampons #tampax #wtf #womensrights ♬ original sound - Celia
MORE SHOPPERS TURN TO DISCOUNT STORES TO ‘CUT THE COSTS’ OF INFLATION
"Then I found this. I thought, maybe it’s a new color, so then I took it out and um, what? So I just opened it up, what is that?" she asks in the video as she finds an apparent small object. One TikTok user joked that the object appeared to be a "tracker," while another added that the tampon in question was "probably a test one that slipped through undetected," and noted that "factories usually put metal or something to make sure their machines sort them out." Another user wrote, "It looks like it could be a defect detection tester? So they put it on the line to see if their quality control system picks up that it is defective."
The video garnered over 1 million views as of Thursday afternoon.
The TikTok user said in a follow-up video that she did not buy the box of tampons herself, saying that a friend who works at a Tampax factory gave them to her.

Procter & Gamble, the owner of Tampax, responded to Fox News' request for comment, saying this incident was an isolated issue.
"We are aware of the TikTok video and have looked into the matter," the company said. "We want to reassure you this was an isolated issue. This was a sample from our quality control process that was inadvertently gifted to a consumer by an employee. Quality control samples are not sold to consumers."

Mike Tyson rips Hulu over limited series: 'They stole my life story'
Hulu felt the full effects of a Mike Tyson hook over the weekend.
Tyson posted two pictures on his Instagram account ripping the company weeks before Hulu is set to launch "Mike" – an eight-episode limited series exploring the legendary boxer’s life. The show is set to debut Aug. 25.
"Hulu tried to desperately pay my brother @danawhite millions without offering me a dollar to promote their slave master take over story about my life. He turned it down because he honors friendship and treating people with dignity. I'll never forget what he did for me just like I'll never forget what Hulu stole from me," he wrote in the first post.

The second post read: "Don’t let Hulu fool you. I don’t support their story about my life. It’s not 1822. It’s 2022. They stole my life story and didn’t pay me. To Hulu executives, I’m just a n----- they can sell on the auction block."
Karin Gist, a showrunner for "Mike," talked about the series at TCA on Thursday.
"We just wanted to tell an unbiased story and have the audience decide what they think or feel," Gist said. "Challenging what people think they know about Mike and hoping that they come away from the series with something else to think about. Whether you like him or hate him, does the story make you question how complicit society has been? That was the intention, that was the North Star for the writers' room as we were crafting stories."
It’s not the first time the former heavyweight champion came after Hulu over the series.
MIKE TYSON FLYING AGAIN AFTER PUNCHING PASSENGER ON FLIGHT: REPORT
"Hulu’s announcement to do an unauthorized miniseries of my life, although unfortunate, isn’t surprising," Tyson said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter in February 2021. "This announcement on the heels of social disparities in our country is a prime example of how Hulu’s corporate greed led to this tone-deaf cultural misappropriation of my life story. To make this announcement during Black History Month only confirms Hulu’s concern for dollars over respect for Black story rights. Hollywood needs to be more sensitive to Black experiences especially after all that has transpired in 2020. My authorized story is in development and will be announced in coming days."

It's not necessarily uncommon for projects of celebrities or famous athletes to be produced without the approval of the subject.
Jerry West, the former Los Angeles Lakers superstar and the silhouette on the NBA logo, took issue with how he was portrayed in the HBO Series "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty." West demanded a retraction of his portrayal in April. HBO defended the show, saying "not a documentary and has not been presented as such."
Tyson is reportedly working on a different project about his life with Jamie Foxx and director Antoine Fuqua.

AMBLER, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- "I believe what I do must benefit somebody and I have to see that," said Jeri "Momma J" Brockington.
After high school, Brockington spent two years working in the United States Army. But her commitment to service started even earlier than that.
She learned how to cultivate a strong community in her great-grandmother's garden. There, the matriarch would generously give away free food to her neighbors. It's a trait that Brockington would come to emulate in her retirement.
"When we moved here, I ran straight in this yard and visualized using every area of the space to grow food," she said. "I went door to door, introduced myself and encouraged my neighbors to grow."
As interest in gardening grew, so did Momma J's Country Gardening. Brockington would invite neighbors into her backyard for free produce, education, and bible verses. That translated to her YouTube channel, where she can reach an audience beyond her neighborhood.
"Money is not it," said Brockington. "Just a smile is what makes a difference to me."
But above the tomatoes and cucumbers in her garden, Brockington is cultivating strong relationships within her community.
"You can frequently go for years without knowing any of your neighbors," said Frank Dunsmore. "And whenever I came down to this area, she was one of the few people that was always around."
Neighbors have developed somewhat of a green thumb in Momma J's presence.
"I'm not the kind of person who grows plants, but she's done an amazing job with gardening and stuff like that," said Dunsmore. "If knowledge is power, she's given it away."
Brockington encourages others to think back to a simpler time and learn how to provide for one another. In the wake of pandemic lockdowns and the September 2021 tornado, it's become more important to her than ever.
"These are times when the only way we're going to get through it is that we work together," she said.

More human remains discovered as drought dries Lake Mead
LAS VEGAS (AP) — More human remains have been found at drought-stricken Lake Mead National Recreation Area east of Las Vegas, authorities said Sunday.
It’s the fourth time since May that remains have been uncovered as Western drought forces the shoreline to retreat at the shrinking Colorado River reservoir behind the Hoover Dam.
National Park Service officials said rangers were called to the reservoir between Nevada and Arizona around 11 a.m. Saturday after skeletal remains were discovered at Swim Beach.
Rangers and a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police dive team went to retrieve the remains.
Park Service officials said the Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office will try to determine when and how the person died as investigators review records of missing people.
On May 1, a barrel containing human remains was found near Hemenway Harbor. Police believe the remains were that of a man who died from a gunshot wound and the body was likely dumped in the mid-1970s to early 1980s.
Less than a week later, authorities say human skeletal remains were found at Calville Bay.
More recently, partial human remains were found in the Boulder Beach area on July 25.
Police have speculated that more remains may be discovered as the water level at Lake Mead continues to recede.
The discoveries have prompted speculation about long-unsolved missing person and murder cases dating back decades — to organized crime and the early days of Las Vegas, which is just a 30-minute drive from the lake.
The lake surface has dropped more than 170 feet (52 meters) since the reservoir was full in 1983.
The drop in the lake level comes while a vast majority of peer-reviewed science says the world is warming, mainly because of rising levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Scientists say the U.S. West, including the Colorado River basin, has become warmer and drier in the past 30 years.

Day 7 of the tournament Opening 2022 on the Liga MX will have one of the most significant meetings in recent years on its calendar. Recalling that final where the Blue Crossthen directed by Juan Reynoso, managed to break the 23-year drought without lifting the league title, this time they will visit Club Santos Laguna to play the regular season matchup. Both teams will seek their third victory.
The regular step has not been a characteristic feature of any of the squads that are about to face each other. In fact, neither Diego Aguirre as well as neither Eduardo Fentanes they have managed to break the barrier of 10 units despite the fact that 18 and 15 possible units have been played, respectively. In that sense, they will look for the points that catapult them to the four best teams in the competition.
The Lagunero team will have a slight favoritism to keep the three points, since the match will take place in the Corona TSM Stadium. Despite this, the residents of the capital will seek to repeat the victory they obtained at the expense of the Tigres of the Autonomous University of Nuevo León (UANL) as visitors. The actions can be seen on various platforms.
Place: Corona TSM Stadium, Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico.
Date: Saturday August 6, 2022.
Hour: 21:05
TV: The meeting will be one of the most publicized of the day, since it will have two options on open television. Channel 5, in charge of STUDYis the first option while the team of Aztec Sports will do the same in the signal of 7 with the voice of Christian Martinoli and Luis García. Meanwhile, the option for the pay signal will be the channel of the Chapultepec company.
Internet and application: Both companies will enable their multiplatform to broadcast the game live. However, while the official app and website of STUDY will be enabled for users with subscription, the options of Aztec Sports will be available for free.
Both Club Santos Laguna and Cruz Azul will perform on the field of the Corona TSM Stadium with a similar performance. The light blue have eight units achieved in exchange for two wins and the same number of draws and losses. For their part, the Laguneros will receive the rival with a pending match to play and seven points collected with two wins and two losses, as well as a draw.
both squads They will look for their second consecutive victory, as the locals managed to overcome the current champion of Liga MX by the slightest difference in the same venue. For its part, Cruz Azul took the victory at home when they received the Rayos del Necaxa led by Jaime Lozano.
The historical statistics between both teams look even, because in the last 16 games they have tied in four games and each side has kept the three units in six occasions. In addition to this, Cruz Azul will seek to continue the good streak that has been consolidated in the Corona Stadium, a venue in which it has not known defeat or draw in its two most recent visits.
It is worth mentioning that the people of the capital will lead their first meeting without the character who became the benchmark for attack in the current semester. Santiago Gimenez, tournament scoring leaderleft the ranks of La Noria to join as one of the star reinforcements for the Feyenoord of the Eredivisie, where he will share the league with Erick Gutiérrez and Edson Álvarez.

WASHINGTON D.C. -- Democrats pushed their election-year economic package to Senate passage Sunday, a hard-fought compromise less ambitious than President Joe Biden's original domestic vision but one that still meets deep-rooted party goals of slowing global warming, moderating pharmaceutical costs and taxing immense corporations.
The estimated $740 billion package heads next to the House, where lawmakers are poised to deliver on Biden's priorities, a stunning turnaround of what had seemed a lost and doomed effort that suddenly roared back to political life. Democrats held united, 51-50, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote.
"It's been a long, tough and winding road, but at last, at last we have arrived," said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., ahead of final votes.
"The Senate is making history. I am confident the Inflation Reduction Act will endure as one of the defining legislative measures of the 21st century."
Senators engaged in a round-the-clock marathon of voting that began Saturday and stretched late into Sunday afternoon. Democrats swatted down some three dozen Republican amendments designed to torpedo the legislation. Confronting unanimous GOP opposition, Democratic unity in the 50-50 chamber held, keeping the party on track for a morale-boosting victory three months from elections when congressional control is at stake.
"I think it's gonna pass," Biden told reporters as he left the White House early Sunday to go to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, ending his COVID-19 isolation. The House seemed likely to provide final congressional approval when it returns briefly from summer recess on Friday.
The bill ran into trouble midday over objections to the new 15% corporate minimum tax that private equity firms and other industries disliked, forcing last-minute changes.
Despite the momentary setback, the "Inflation Reduction Act" gives Democrats a c ampaign-season showcase for action on coveted goals. It includes the largest-ever federal effort on climate change - close to $400 billion - caps out-of-pocket drug costs for seniors on Medicare to $2,000 a year and extends expiring subsidies that help 13 million people afford health insurance. By raising corporate taxes, the whole package is paid for, with some $300 billion extra revenue for deficit reduction.
Barely more than one-tenth the size of Biden's initial 10-year, $3.5 trillion rainbow of progressive aspirations in his Build Back Better initiative, the new package abandons earlier proposals for universal preschool, paid family leave and expanded child care aid. That plan collapsed after conservative Sen. Joe. Manchin, D-W.Va., opposed it, saying it was too costly and would fuel inflation.
Nonpartisan analysts have said the "Inflation Reduction Act" would have a minor effect on surging consumer prices.
Republicans said the measure would undermine an economy that policymakers are struggling to keep from plummeting into recession. They said the bill's business taxes would hurt job creation and force prices skyward, making it harder for people to cope with the nation's worst inflation since the 1980s.
"Democrats have already robbed American families once through inflation, and now their solution is to rob American families a second time," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., argued. He said spending and tax increases in the legislation would eliminate jobs while having insignificant impact on inflation and climate change.
In an ordeal imposed on all budget bills like this one, the Senate had to endure an overnight "vote-a-rama" of rapid-fire amendments. Each tested Democrats' ability to hold together a compromise negotiated by Schumer, progressives, Manchin and the inscrutable centrist Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz.
Progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., offered amendments to further expand the legislation's health benefits, and those efforts were defeated. Most votes were forced by Republicans and many were designed to make Democrats look soft on U.S.-Mexico border security and gasoline and energy costs, and like bullies for wanting to strengthen IRS tax law enforcement.
Before debate began Saturday, the bill's prescription drug price curbs were diluted by the Senate's nonpartisan parliamentarian. Elizabeth MacDonough, who referees questions about the chamber's procedures, said a provision should fall that would impose costly penalties on drug makers whose price increases for private insurers exceed inflation.
It was the bill's chief protection for the 180 million people with private health coverage they get through work or purchase themselves. Under special procedures that will let Democrats pass their bill by simple majority without the usual 60-vote margin, its provisions must be focused more on dollar-and-cents budget numbers than policy changes.
But the thrust of their pharmaceutical price language remained. That included letting Medicare negotiate what it pays for drugs for its 64 million elderly recipients, penalizing manufacturers for exceeding inflation for pharmaceuticals sold to Medicare and limiting beneficiaries out-of-pocket drug costs to $2,000 annually.
The bill also caps Medicare patients' costs for insulin, the expensive diabetes medication, at $35 monthly. Democrats wanted to extend the $35 cap to private insurers but it ran afoul of Senate rules. Most Republicans voted to strip it from the package, though in a sign of the political potency of health costs seven GOP senators joined Democrats trying to preserve it.
The measure's final costs were being recalculated to reflect late changes, but overall it would raise more than $700 billion over a decade. The money would come from a 15% minimum tax on a handful of corporations with yearly profits above $1 billion, a 1% tax on companies that repurchase their own stock, bolstered IRS tax collections and government savings from lower drug costs.
Sinema forced Democrats to drop a plan to prevent wealthy hedge fund managers from paying less than individual income tax rates for their earnings. She also joined with other Western senators to win $4 billion to combat the region's drought.
Several Democratic senators joined the GOP-led effort to exclude some firms from the new corporate minimum tax.
The package keeps to Biden's pledge not to raise taxes on those earning less than $400,000 a year.
It was on the energy and environment side that compromise was most evident between progressives and Manchin, a champion of fossil fuels and his state's coal industry.
Clean energy would be fostered with tax credits for buying electric vehicles and manufacturing solar panels and wind turbines. There would be home energy rebates, funds for constructing factories building clean energy technology and money to promote climate-friendly farm practices and reduce pollution in minority communities.
Manchin won billions to help power plants lower carbon emissions plus language requiring more government auctions for oil drilling on federal land and waters. Party leaders also promised to push separate legislation this fall to accelerate permits for energy projects, which Manchin wants to include a nearly completed natural gas pipeline in his state.

Mohsin Khan, 36, works on a sphere mass of white marble stone with extreme care so that the drilling machine does not leave any crack in the mass.
Javed Ali (36) holds the mass, guiding Khan through the drilling, signalling when to stop and resume. It has been 15 days since both have been working on the white marble and sandstone sculpture — Maya — an optical and anti-gravitational illusion piece by Dr Vishal Bhatnagar, a sculptor from Chandigarh.
Nearly 20 carvers from Makrana who travelled 470 kilometres across Rajasthan to Ambaji — one of the shaktipeeths in Gujarat’s Banaskantha — are part of a team of specialised stone carvers roped in to beautify the town of Ambaji.
Mohsin and Javed are part of a team of stone carvers between 23 and 36 years of age who have been working day and night, braving the weather, for 20 days now to meet the deadline, before the sculpture symposium is opened for public.

These are part of 10 symposiums to be conducted by the Stone Artisan Park Training Inst-itute (SAPTI), run by the Comm-issioner of Geology and Mining Industries and Mines Depart-ment, in Ambaji that has undertaken the project of beautification and revitalisation of the town.
At the end of 10 symposiums, of which six have been planned this year, 150 life-size sculptures will be ready.
“As a part of the multi-dimensional development of Ambaji, SAPTI is organising Shilpotsav — a series of stone sculpture symposiums. Following the second national sculpture symposium to conclude on August 8, there will be eight more symposiums, including an international one scheduled in October. The sculptures prepared during these symposiums will be part of project revitalisation of Ambaji,” Roopwant Singh, Commissioner of Geology and Mining told The Indian Express.
The sculptures made and exhibited during the symposiums will also be part of an elaborate sculpture museum in Ambaji that has been conceptually approved under the revitalisation project of the town.
The Emerging Stone and Sculpture Museum is being planned on 10 acres of land in the abandoned marble mines around GMDC ground near SAPTI campus. The museum will host an Interpretation Centre, Experience Centre and open galleries with different themes.
“It gives immense satisfaction and happiness when people from every corner of the country get to see your work and appreciate it,” says Aarif Hussain another carver from Makrana.
“My father was into mining in Makrana from where I picked up this work. My family of three children and elderly parents is in Makrana,” adds the 32-year-old carver with a secondary certificate adds as he gets back into carving “Gateway to Divinity”, an interactive sculpture by Shantanu Shastry, faculty at SAPTI.
Taking cue from the small clay maquette, Sarfaraz Ahmed (24) follows instructions of his sculptor Kosal Kumar as they work on “Burger Yoga”.
All part of the second symposium — Shilpakriti — that began at SAPTI Ambaji campus on July 20 and will be on till August 8.
“The symposiums will provide a platform for the general masses to witness the process of stone carving and sculpture making unlike the existing trend of seeing the finished product. The colloquiums will further connect the masses with the cultural and historical significance of Ambaji. This will also create an ownership among the public when these sculptures will be placed across the town,” said Nikhil Bhatt, principal and centre director, SAPTI Ambaji.
As briefed from the state as well as central government, the broad theme of the symposiums is based on spirituality, says SAPTI director Veena Padhia, adding that this includes yoga, symbolic representation of the human spirit, courage, aspirations as well as manifestation of geometry in sculpture.

Months after a 40-year-old man was killed in Ambawadi area of Ahmedabad, police arrested the main accused — a friend of the man’s wife.
According to police, Shantilalbhai, an autorickshaw driver and resident of Isanpur in Ahmedabad, was stabbed to death by unknown men outside CN School in the Ambawadi area of Ahmedabad on June 8.
Days after the murder, police arrested Rupalben, wife of Shantilal, for allegedly paying Rs 4 lakh to two accused Sabir and Faizu under a contract to murder Shantilal. On Sunday, the Ahmedabad Police’s Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) arrested Tajuddin Shaikh Farooqui (47), the main conspirator in the case from Vatva area of Ahmedabad.
“Tajuddin and Rupal were in a relationship and the duo wanted to get rid of Shantilal. Tajuddin took the help of his younger brother Faizu who suggested the name of contract killer Sabir. Both Tajuddin and Rupal paid Rs 2 lakh advance to Sabir to kill Shantilal,” said a senior officer of Ahmedabad DCB.

The family of a 34 year-old man, who died after he was allegedly tortured in custody at a police station in Kolkata, has demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the incident.
The alleged victim’s family is likely to move the Calcutta High Court on Monday.
They claimed that Dipankar Saha, was a resident of South Kolkata, was picked up from his house by a team from the Golf Green police station on July 31 afternoon and was released a few hours later. He died on Thursday (August 4) at the government-run MR Bangur Hospital a day after he fell sick.
The police have not specified yet as on what charges he was picked up.

Dipankar’s family had on Friday filed a written complaint against three people, including two policemen. Sergeant Amitabh Tamang, constable Taimur Ali and Aftab Mondal, a civic volunteer, have been taken off duty following the complaint.
All three were posted at the Golf Green police station.
Dipankar’s elder brother Rajib Saha said, “He had bruises on his hands and hips. It was clearly a case of police torture. My brother was beaten by the police and we don’t have trust in any investigation conducted by them. We will move the high court tomorrow.”
Dipankar’s second brother Sunny Saha said the police showed them the footage of his exit but were not sharing the recording of his entry. “First of all, the man doesn’t look like Dipankar. He was picked at 2pm and the officials claim that he was in the police station for a short time. The CCTV footage shows he left after 10pm,” Rajib Saha added.
The police, however, denied having assaulted the 34-year-old. “The CCTV footage shows that he entered the police station at 10:26pm and walked out at 10:56pm. He was there for just thirty minutes. Preliminary post-mortem says he was suffering from liver enlargement and lung disease. It also says that the injury marks were not fatal,” said a police officer.
“The policemen will not be spared if they are at fault. In the CCTV footage Dipankar is seen leaving the police station in a normal condition. What caused his death is under investigation,” said another senior police officer.
CPI(M), DYFI stage protest outisde police station
On Sunday, members of the CPI(M) and the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) staged a protest outside the Golf Green police station, demanding justice to the aggrieved family.
“Dipankar Saha was assaulted. The police officials who are involved should be charged with murder. We are with the family and we will fight till the culprits are punished stringently under the law,” said Gautam Banerjee, a local CPI(M) leader.
On Saturday, the BJP too had protested outside the police station, claiming that Dipankar’s elder brother Rajib was their party member.
Gautam Banerjee said, “This ( Rajib being a BJP member) is a false claim. Rajib is like a family member to me and we belong to the same area.”
Senior Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and MP Saugata Roy said, “It’s really unfortunate when someone is beaten to death whether by police or someone else. Law will take its own course. The CPI(M) has no existence in Bengal. They do not have a single MLA in the Assembly. They just want to remain in limelight anyhow.”

A Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) head constable who allegedly opened fire at his senior colleagues at Kolkata’s Indian Museum on Saturday evening, killing an assistant sub-inspector and injuring an assistant commandant-rank officer, was sent to 14-day police custody on Sunday.
While ASI Ranjit Kumar Sarangi died on spot in the firing by head constable Akshay Kumar Mishra, assistant commandant Suvir Ghosh sustained minor bullet injuries. Ghosh was discharged from hospital on Sunday.
Akshay Mishra fired indiscriminately nearly 15 rounds with an AK-47 rifle on the museum premises in Kids Street around 6:30 pm, officials said.
A team of officials of the Kolkata Police and the Disaster Management led by Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Rupesh Kumar disarmed Akshay Mishra. CISF Inspector General (South East) Sudhir Kumar had also reached the spot appealing to the jawan to surrender.

Akshay was taken to the Lalbazar police station where he was interrogated by senior officials.
“The Bankshall court Chief Metropolitan Magistrate has sent him to police custody till August 21. The Kolkata Police’s homicide wing has taken over the case,” a senior police officer said.
Prima facie, it seemed to be an incident of targeted firing, the police claimed. “Revenge is likely to be the motive behind the murder but it is too early to ascertain the exact cause now. The accused is being questioned,” said a senior Kolkata Police official.
Also, a team of forensic officials inspected the crime scene on Sunday and collected samples. The vehicles and spots with bullets were marked by the forensic team.
Meanwhile, the preliminary post-mortem of the body of ASI Ranjit Kumar Sarangi indicated that he received at least five bullet injuries.
“Of the five bullet injuries found on his body, one each was on the head and chest, leading to Sarangi’s death,” said a doctor at SSKM Hospital where the post-mortem was conducted.
The paramilitary officials on Sunday received Saranagi’s body that will be sent to his native place in neighbouring Odisha, officials said.
The police said the incident could have been deadlier had it taken place during visiting hours in the day.
The museum is under the administrative control of the Union Ministry of Culture. The CISF took over the security of the museum in December 2019.
Senior Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Saugata Roy said, “It is a very unfortunate incident. It’s quite worrisome in the manner the paramilitary jawan opened fire. But the way the Kolkata Police handled the operation is commendable.”

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Sunday issued show-cause notices to party MPs Sisir Adhikari and his younger son Dibyendu Adhikari for voting in the vice-presidential election on Saturday against the party leadership’s instructions not to do so.
While Sisir represents the Kanthi Lok Sabha constituency, Dibyendu is MP from Tamluk.
Sisir’s elder son Suvendu Adhikari is a BJP leader and opposition leader in the West Bengal Assembly.
Since the Trinamool Parliamentary Party deemed their move as an “anti-party act”, the party’s Lok Sabha leader Sudeep Banerjee wrote to the father-so duo to explain their decision to vote in the poll. Sources in the TMC said that last Thursday Sudeep Banerjee had written to the two MPs separately and asked them to abstain from voting.

The Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal (MAT) recently asked the state government to come up within six months with a ‘clear policy’ on provision of jobs for transgender persons. The direction was especially in respect to the Police Department as the applicant has applied for the post of a police sub-inspector (PSI) and has to undergo a specific physical test.
The panel also asked the departments concerned in the state to file affidavits on the steps are taken by it in implementing the 2014 Supreme Court judgement asking it to take steps to treat transgender persons as Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) of citizens and extend all kinds of reservations for admission in educational institutes and for public appointments. The plea referred to the judgement and sought reservation of posts for transgender persons in recruitment to 800 posts in the impugned advertisement.
Justice Mridula Bhatkar, chairperson of MAT, along with member Medha Gadgil was on August 1 hearing an application by a certain applicant who claimed to be transgender and sought direction to the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) to allow her to apply for the post of PSI as a transgender candidate as set out in the June 23 advertisement. The applicant also prayed for reservation of posts for transgenders.
Advocate Kranti LC submitted said the applicant by birth was male but had opted for female gender later, and had therefore applied for the post as a transgender candidate as the option for the same is provided by the MPSC. The applicant also sought to be considered as a female candidate.

The MPSC submitted that the applicant will be allowed to appear for the preliminary examination which is going to be held on October 8. The applicant’s lawyer referred the 2014 Supreme Court judgement in the National Legal Services Authority Vs Union of India case, recognising several rights of the transgender community. The top court had ordered states to reserve some seats in government jobs for transgender persons. The applicant said as per the Constitution, there cannot be a discrimination on the basis of sex or gender.

To ensure that there are no accidents on the four-lane Mumbai-Goa highway that is being repaired at various spots, 147 home guards will be deployed at various accident-prone spots. This has been done keeping an eye on the upcoming festive season, especially in the Konkan belt — through which the highway passes — that will see a lot of traffic on the road.
An official said, “For a period of three months since August 1, we have decided to place home guards at these spots in order to avoid accidents on the highway.” The repair work on the highway has been underway for over a decade now but there are still spots where there are major potholes and the quality of the road is bad.”
The official added that deploying home guards could be the key to securing the Konkon belt of the highway, especially in view of the Gokulashtami and Ganesh Chaturthi festivals that are celebrated in a big way in the region.
There are a total of seven highway traffic police outposts along the highway — at Mahad, Palaspe, Vakan, Mahad, Kashedi, Chiplun, Hatkhamba and Kasal. “We have issued an order whereby the staff strength of each outpost will be increased with the deployment of 21 home guards,” the official said.

The staff at the outpost are expected to help accident victims, check the quality of vehicles and ensure unhindered movement of traffic. The additional home guard personnel will be present at these outposts for a period of 24 hours.
An official said during the monsoon, there is also a fear of landslides on the highway and hence, having a higher number of personnel to help will be vital at this time.
Earlier this year, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari had said that the repair work, which is on at 11 places along the highway, will be completed in a year’s time.

MAHARASHTRA CHIEF Minister Eknath Shinde on Sunday emphasised reforms for ushering in greater transparency and accountability in functioning in urban local bodies. Under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, the state government will launch an integrated web portal as a single delivery platform for all notified micro-municipal services of the urban local bodies on August 15.
The portal will automate the administrative work of municipalities and ensure online facilities for service delivery with 404 ULBs onboarded. The objective is to make basic services under these ULBS easily accessible to people, including water supply, sewerage, building plans licenses, finances and no objection certificates.
Speaking at the Governing Council meeting of the NITI Aayog in New Delhi, which was chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shinde also highlighted the steps taken by the state for the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) and said that his government was fully committed to the effective rollout of the policy.
Among other projects, which were deliberated in the Niti Ayog meet included Jalyukta Shivar Abhiyan – a water conservation scheme launched by the state government – for drought mitigation across 40,000 villages in Maharashtra.

Speaking to the media after the meet, Shinde said, “We presented reforms across urban and rural Maharashtra. We have already sent proposals worth Rs 18,000 crore for projects related to water supply and sanitation through the ‘Swachh Talav Yojana’. We planned a revival of 77 ponds for which Rs 600 crore is sought. The solid waste management works are worth Rs 12,000 crore,” he said.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reassured financial and logistics support for the development of Maharashtra,” the CM said. In the agriculture sector, we will stress crop diversification, increasing irrigation potential from 24 per cent at present and promoting horticulture, Shinde said in his address.
“Following the national policy, it will be our effort to increase pulses and oil seeds production. The country incurs Rs 1 lakh crore expenditure on the import of edible oil and pulses. This can be tackled if our state plays a significant role in increasing areas under oil seeds and pulses,” he added.
While reiterating the state’s commitment to NEP, Shinde said, “School digitisation will be pursued.”
“In the meeting, I highlighted our state scheme Aamche Guruji… The changes in elementary schools are high on the agenda for which Rs 494 crore will be allocated in the first phase.”
While mentioning the Samruddhi Mahamarg project, Shinde said, “The second phase plan with 20 SMART cities was highlighted. We are committed to new greenfield cities. In Navi Mumbai, we have planned a mega township project.”

A day after the Opposition slammed the state government for granting quasi-judicial powers held by cabinet ministers to bureaucrats, deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday claimed that “rights” were given to secretaries even in the past. He, though, assured that cabinet expansion will take place in Maharashtra soon.
State Chief Secretary Manu Kumar Shrivastava on Friday issued an order that granted quasi-judicial powers to bureaucrats, prompting criticism from Opposition leaders. “Such criticism is nothing but political blame-game. Secretaries are only given rights to conduct hearings of quasi-judicial matters. There is nothing new in this. Similar rights were given to secretaries in the previous government as well, and the one before that,” said Fadnavis, adding that the practice has been around “even in different states”.

On allegations that the administration in Maharashtra was being handed over to the bureaucracy, he said, “This government belongs to the people of Maharashtra and is currently being run by those (who have been) elected by people, and not by secretaries. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is heading the government and I am supporting him as a cabinet minister. This is the government of the people and will remain so.”

On reasons behind the state government’s orders issued on Friday, sources said the delay in expansion of the cabinet had held up several important matters, including hearings, in different departments.
The orders, issued in an attempt to ensure that people don’t suffer due to the delay in cabinet expansion, would mean that now secretaries could hold hearings in matters that are usually taken up by ministers.Congress’ chief spokesperson Atul Londhe said that a state like Maharashtra should not be run by secretaries.
On Saturday, the CMO Office issued a statement saying no powers of cabinet ministers have been given to bureaucrats and that only quasi-judicial matters will be heard by them.
