The BJP’s Tajinder Bagga got a big relief from the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Punjab Police have zeroed in on the role of gangster-turned-Khalistani terrorist Harvinder Singh Rinda, Gujarat Titans made a stunning run in the first month of the 2022 Indian Premier League season and other top news in today's episode.
The BJP’s Tajinder Bagga got a big relief from the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Tuesday, news agency ANI reported, after a case was filed against him over an alleged threat to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The 36-year-old can’t be arrested till July 5, the court said. Bagga’s arrest last week from his West Delhi home by the Punjab Police had triggered a huge political uproar as the Delhi Police and the Haryana Police intervened when he was being taken to Mohali. The Delhi Police filed a kidnapping case against the Punjab Police. He was released within hours in the midst of high drama. A day after their intelligence headquarters in Mohali became the target of the rocket-propelled grenade attack, Punjab Police have zeroed in on the role of gangster-turned-Khalistani terrorist Harvinder Singh Rinda, who is emerging as the mastermind. According to senior police officials, preliminary probe suggests the attack was executed by a gang active in Punjab and Haryana at the behest of Rinda. More than 20 people have been detained in connection with Monday night’s blast. Tributes poured in for Indian music composer and santoor player Pandit Shivkumar Sharma who passed away on Tuesday aged 84. The renowned musician, who breathed his last in Mumbai, had been suffering from kidney-related issues for the past six months and was on dialysis.  Paying tribute to the Santoor maestro, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that our cultural world is poorer without him. “Our cultural world is poorer with the demise of Pandit Shivkumar Sharma Ji. He popularised the Santoor at a global level. His music will continue to enthral the coming generations. I fondly remember my interactions with him. Condolences to his family and admirers. Om Shanti,” PM Modi tweeted. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said the grand old party would form the next government in Gujarat after the Assembly election as he hit out at the Narendra Modi-led BJP government at the Centre “for creating one India for the rich and one for the poor”.  Gandhi said the Prime Minister was replicating the Gujarat model across India. “As the Prime Minister, Modi is doing in country what he did as the chief minister in Gujarat — creating one India for rich and another for common people. It is called the Gujarat model.” Gujarat Titans (GT) made a stunning run in the first month of the 2022 Indian Premier League season, winning eight of their nine games to stay atop in the points table. However, they lost both their next two games to slip to the second spot, allowing Lucknow Super Giants to surpass them and subsequently exposing their weakness. Ahead of their game against LSG on Tuesday at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, former England captain Kevin Pietersen issued a stern warning to the Hardik Pandya-led side.
