A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has arrested two farmers in connection with the alleged lynching of three BJP workers during the violence that took place in Lakhimpur Kheri on October 3 last year.
According to SIT sources, the two farmers, Kamaljeet Singh, 29, and Kawaljeet Singh Sonu, 35, were arrested by the SIT on Saturday.
They had been allegedly hiding from the police for nearly two months. The SIT had earlier released pictures of a few suspects, which included the two.
They will be produced before a magistrate and their remand custody will be sought by the investigating officer.
So far, six farmers have been arrested in connection with the death of three BJP workers.
The SIT had earlier arrested Vichitra Singh, Gurwinder Singh, Avtaar Singh, and Ranjeet Singh after they were identified as suspects.
An FIR with charges of murder and rioting was initially registered against 'unidentified farmers' based on the complaint of BJP worker Sumit Jaiswal, who is a co-accused along with Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra Teni's son, Ashish Mishra, in connection with the deaths of four farmers and a journalist during the violence.
Another day of isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall activity is in store for coastal Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal even as northwest India would continue to witness cold wave conditions, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted on Saturday.
"A cyclonic circulation lies over southwest Bay of Bengal, off south Sri Lanka coast at middle tropospheric level. Under its influence, scattered to fairly widespread rainfall with isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall activity is very likely to continue over coastal Tamil Nadu, Puducherry & Karaikal on Sunday and isolated heavy rainfall over the same region during subsequent 24 hours and decrease thereafter," the IMD said.
Background
Breaking News LIVE, January 2, 2022: Days ahead of the UP Assembly Elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of the Major Dhyan Chand Sports University in Meerut today.
The university will be established at Salawa and Kaili villages of Sardhana town in Meerut at an estimated cost of about Rs 700 crore.
One of the key areas of focus for the prime minister is inculcating sporting culture and establishing world-class sporting infrastructure in all parts of the country, and the establishment of this university at Meerut will be a major step towards fulfilling this vision, it said.
The sports university will be equipped with modern and state-of-the-art sports infrastructure, including synthetic hockey and football grounds, a ground for basketball, volleyball, handball and kabaddi, lawn tennis court, gymnasium hall, synthetic running stadium, swimming pool, multipurpose hall and a cycling velodrome.
It will also house facilities for shooting, squash, gymnastics, weightlifting, archery, canoeing and kayaking among other facilities.
unjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Saturday threatened to stage a 'dharna' against Governor Banwarilal Purohit for withholding his assent to a bill for regularising 36,000 contractual employees.
Channi also accused Purohit of dithering on approving the bill under pressure from the BJP.
The state assembly had passed 'the Punjab Protection and Regularization of Contractual Employees Bill-2021' last November for regularising 36,000 employees working on contract or on ad hoc, temporary or daily basis in different government departments.
"But the governor has stopped the file (relating to the bill) because of some political reasons," Channi said while addressing the media here for giving the report card on 100 days of his regime.
