IAS officer, her husband, and personal security officer booked for attempt to murder in Jalandhar

An FIR has been registered in the case where a plot owner was shot by the personal security officer (PSO) of IAS officer Babita Kaler on Saturday morning in a posh locality near PIMS Hospital in Jalandhar. The FIR was lodged late Saturday night at Police Station Division No. 7. The FIR names senior IAS officer Babita Kaler, her husband and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Stephen Kaler, and Sukhkaran Singh, the PSO provided by the Punjab Government. The case has been registered under Sections 109 (attempt to murder), 115 (2) (voluntarily causing hurt), and 61 (2) (criminal conspiracy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and relevant sections of the Arms Act. The victim, Harpreet Singh, suffered a bullet injury in his leg. The police have arrested Sukhkaran Singh and taken possession of the weapon used in the incident. A recommendation has also been sent to the police department to suspend Sukhkaran Singh. The police will soon present him in court to seek remand for interrogation. Sources said the police were preparing to issue notices to Babita and Stephen Kaler, asking them to join the investigation. Harinder Singh Gill, Assistant Deputy Commissioner of Police, stated they will determine why the shooting occurred — whether it was necessary or done under pressure – during the interrogation. IAS officer Babita Kaler and her husband Stephen Kaler, who live in the upscale Baradari area, reportedly had a dispute with the owners of the adjacent plot over the dumping of soil. During an altercation, Babita Kaler's PSO Sukhkaran Singh shot the brother of the plot owner. The bullet was fired using a government-issued firearm. AAP leader Stephen Kaler stated that the people who came to dump soil were asked to speak to the plot owner. He said he facilitated the conversation and then went inside the house. However, during this time, the individuals who had come to dump the soil allegedly began arguing with the PSO and used abusive language. They also reportedly tried to assault him, after which the PSO fired in self-defence.

Delhi CM leads yoga on banks of Yamuna, vows clean-up

NEW DELHI: Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday performed yoga on the banks of the Yamuna River on the occasion of International Yoga Day, taking a swipe at former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. She said her act aimed to highlight her administration's commitment to cleaning the river - something she alleged the AAP government failed to do despite years of promises. Besides the CM, her ministerial colleagues, Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, Mayor, and others participated in yoga sessions at various locations across the national capital. The Delhi government organised programmes at 11 prominent locations in the city to mark the occasion, with ministers, MLAs, and BJP MPs actively participating in the celebrations. Speaking on the occasion, the CM emphasised that Yoga Day should not be seen as a one-day event but rather as a lifestyle choice. 'A healthy citizen is the foundation of a prosperous nation,' she said, reiterating that turning Delhi into the health capital of the country is a shared responsibility. On choosing the Yamuna bank as the venue, she said, 'The purpose was to show people that the cleaning work of the river is underway. Yamuna is a symbol of our faith, but the previous governments ignored it. They did not work to clean it. But in the four months that we have been in power, we have made significant efforts toward its rejuvenation.' Targeting the AAP, Gupta said the previous government chose not to celebrate Yoga Day because of its association with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 'If they associate yoga with Prime Minister Modi, what can we do? Tomorrow, he might leave his food too if it's linked to the PM. After seeing the BJP government in Delhi, he left the national capital,' she remarked.

Parents protest against Delhi government for not sharing draft of fee regulation ordinance

Parents of school children gathered in protest against the government at Chhatrasal Stadium on Saturday, demanding the draft of the act that seeks to fix school fees be placed in public domain for more clarity. United Parents Voice, a parent association, in a statement, made the demand for sharing with them the draft of the Transparency in Fee Fixation and Regulation Ordinance, 2025. 'We believe the bill will directly impact lakhs of families, and hence it is important that it be discussed with all stakeholders,' Hitesh Kaushik, a member of the group, said. The outfit said unless their concerns are addressed and the bill is made public, they will continue to hold demonstrations across the city. The parents had earlier held a press conference with the same demand, and held a demonstration at Jantar Mantar. On June 10, the Delhi Cabinet approved an ordinance on regulating fee structure in private schools, empowering the city government to fine schools up to Rs 10 lak if they violate norms. Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood said that the cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta approved the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Ordinance, 2025. The ordinance will be sent for presidential assent through Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena. Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has declared full support for parents protesting against the fee regulation ordinance pushed through by the BJP to benefit private schools. Calling the ordinance a 'loot license' for the education mafia, Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj warned that the move will grant unchecked power to private institutions to exploit parents, AAP said in a press release. As per the release, on Saturday, parents gathered outside Chhatrasal Stadium to protest against Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, sending a clear message of discontent over the secretly-drafted bill. 'In just four months, the BJP's four-engine government has forced Delhi's middle class onto the streets in this sweltering heat,' Saurabh Bharadwaj said. 'The parents' demand is legitimate. BJP must show some heart and make the bill public.' (with inputs from ANI)
