Cop asks gym to bar entry of Muslims, shunted out
Bhopal: A police sub-inspector has been removed from field duty after he allegedly asked a gym owner not to allow entry to Muslims at the facility in Bhopal, officials said on Tuesday.
The action against sub-inspector Dinesh Sharma was taken after a video surfaced on social media showing him purportedly making the controversial comments. 'No Muslim will come here to train or take training. I am telling you this clearly,' the cop was seen instructing the gym owner in the clip.
According to the police, some Bajrang Dal members had visited the gym, located in the Ayodhya Nagar area of Bhopal, and raised questions over the presence of Muslim trainers at the facility.
After this, the police were called to defuse the tension there. Sharma allegedly made the comments at that time, an official said. After a video of his comments went viral on social media, the police started an investigation into the matter.

Air India plane crash: Mortal remains of crew member Nganthoi Sharma brought to Imphal
The mortal remains of 20-year-old Kongbrailatpam Nganthoi Sharma, one of the two Air India crew members from Manipur who were killed in the horrific plane crash in Ahmedabad on June 12, arrived in Imphal on Sunday. Kongbrailatpam Nganthoi Sharma and 26-year-old Lamnunthem Singson, the two Air India crew members from the northeastern state, were killed in the Ahmedabad plane crash, which claimed 275 lives, including 241 passengers and crew and 34 people on the ground, as the plane had crashed into a hostel of a medical college. Grief-stricken family members of the slain crew member, senior officials, elected leaders, local people and community leaders received the mortal remains of Sharma at the Bir Tikendrajit International Airport in Imphal. Congress' Lok Sabha Member from Manipur Angomcha Bimol Akoijam, Manipur Chief Secretary Prashant Kumar Singh, Director General of Police Rajiv Singh and many other important personalities paid floral tributes to Sharma. After some rituals and formalities, her body was later taken to Thoubal district, where the last rites would take place. Kongbrailatpam Nganthoi Sharma belonged to the non-tribal Meitei community and hailed from Manipur's Thoubal district. Earlier, family members of Sharma went to Ahmedabad to complete the necessary formalities for getting the remains of their loved one. Sharma's last message to the family before takeoff was, "I'm going to London. In a few minutes, we'll take off. We may not be able to talk afterwards." She was recruited by Air India during a recruitment call in Imphal three years ago, while studying for an undergraduate course. 'She got selected and was based in Mumbai,' family members said. Meanwhile, hundreds of local people, family members, relatives and senior officials on June 20 bid a tearful farewell to 26-year-old Lamnunthem Singson, in Manipur's tribal inhabited Kangpokpi district. The mortal remains of Singson first arrived in Nagaland's Dimapur airport from Ahmedabad on June 19 and were then taken to Kangpokpi district, avoiding Manipur's capital, Imphal, due to the ongoing ethnic tension and security reasons. Singson was a resident of Kangpokpi district and belonged to the tribal Thadou community. On June 12, Air India's Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with 242 passengers and crew crashed shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad. There was only one survivor, a British passenger named Ramesh Vishwas Kumar, who miraculously escaped the tragedy.

Iran won't bow down: Farooq Abdullah on US strikes
Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], June 22 (ANI): Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah on Sunday expressed disappointment over Muslim countries' silence on US strikes against Iran and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. Abdullah warned that if the Muslim world doesn't wake up, they might face similar consequences. 'I am disappointed that the Muslim world is silent. Today, Iran is in this condition, but tomorrow, it will be them who will be destroyed by the US. If they won't wake up today, they must wait for their turn,' Abdullah told ANI. He further said that he believes Iran won't abandon its ambitions despite the attacks. Drawing parallels with the Karbala, the National Conference leader stated that Iran 'won't bow down'. 'If they think that Iran will abandon its ambition, they are in a misconception. Iran remembers Karbala, and it thinks that it is the second Karbala. They will get their necks chopped off, but they won't bow down,' Abdullah told ANI. Abdullah further added, '...They want a regime change there (in Iran) - will things be better after a regime change? America and Israel have a long-standing view that they won't let Iran build a nuclear weapon, but if they think that Iran will abandon its ambition, they are in a misconception...' The Israeli Air Force on Sunday launched a new wave of airstrikes targeting military sites in western Iran, shortly after Iranian missile attacks injured civilians in Israel. In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said, 'The IAF has begun a series of strikes toward military targets in western Iran. Additionally, this morning, the IAF struck missile launchers ready to launch toward Israeli territory, soldiers in the Iranian Armed Forces, and swiftly neutralised the launchers that launched missiles toward Israeli territory a short while ago.' According to Israel's state news agency TPS, missile impacts were reported in several parts of the country, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and central Israel. Air raid alarms were heard again in northern regions, and residents were told to stay inside bomb shelters after another wave of missiles was detected. A Times of Israel report citing IDF confirmed its latest response, saying it hit primed missile launchers in fresh strikes on western Iran.A short while ago, ballistic missile launchers used in the attack on Israel this morning were destroyed in strikes and Iranian soldiers were 'eliminated' as well, the Israeli newspaper citing the country's military forces said. According to a report by the Times of Israel, Israel's national emergency service, Magen David Adom (MDA), has updated the casualty numbers from the Iranian missile strikes. 'Magen David Adom raises the wounded toll of the latest Iranian ballistic missile attack to 16. A man in his 30s is moderately wounded by shrapnel, and 15 other people are lightly hurt, MDA says. Several missile impacts were reported in central Israel after sirens sounded. One missile hit Haifa, where no sirens sounded ahead of the impact.'Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Oren Marmorstein, condemned the Iranian actions. 'The Iranian regime is firing ballistic missiles at civilian population centres in Israel,' he said in a X post. During the intervening hours of Saturday and Sunday, US and Israel targeted Iran's nuclear sites in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow. Fardow is Iran's main enrichment location for uranium enrichment to 60 per cent. According to a CNN report, the US likely used six B-2 bombers to drop a dozen GBU-57 A/B 'bunker buster' bombs, also known as Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOP), on the Fordow nuclear site, which is Iran's main location for uranium enrichment. A US official also told CNN that a full payload of bombs was dropped on his first public remarks following the strikes, President Trump warned that further action could be taken if Tehran fails to agree to a satisfactory peace settlement.'There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we've witnessed over the last eight days,' Trump said in his address to the nation from the White House on Saturday (local time).
