Maharashtra stabbing incident investigated as potential self-radicalisation

A "lone wolf" stabbing attack on two security guards in Thane, Maharashtra is being investigated as a case of potential self-radicalisation. The accused, who recently returned from the United States, allegedly targeted victims in the name of jihad. Investigators from the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and National Investigation Agency (NIA) are exploring broader networks connected to the suspect. Recovered notes from the accused suggest a desire to join ISIS. Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis stated that the investigation is ongoing to determine the full scope of the incident and any wider connections.

Election Commission takes action over UP officer's remarks against TMC candidate

Election Commission swiftly responded to a controversy involving Uttar Pradesh IPS officer Ajay Pal Sharma's remarks regarding a TMC candidate in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district. The officer had issued warnings against voter intimidation and found irregularities in security deployment at the TMC candidate's residence in Falta constituency. The EC transferred Falta Joint BDO Sourav Hazra following the incident. The IPS officer also warned against threats to voters and vowed strict action against violators. A petition was subsequently filed seeking the removal of IPS Ajay Pal Sharma from his electoral duties, citing partisan conduct concerns.
