Mob Lynching In Jharkhand: Killing of Sanju Pradhan

-

Jharkhand has been in the headlines for its mob attacks and the reason why the state assembly had passed an Act in December 2021 to prevent such incidents. Under the prevention of mob violence and mob lynching act, individuals responsible can be imprisoned for life if found guilty.

But this could not stop the residents of Besrajara village of Simdega district from carrying out another horrifying act. On Tuesday a 35yrs old man named Sanju Pradhan was attacked and dragged out from his home by the mob after which they took him to the weekly haat where he was beaten to death. The mob was so furious that they burnt the body of the individual after beating him to death. Sanju Pradhan’s wife Sapna Devi while reciting the incident also mentioned that the act was carried out in the presence of a few police officials, who were spectators to the incident and they didn't do anything to stop it.


The villagers believed that Sanju Pradhan was involved in the illegal cutting and smuggling of wood. A complaint was also registered to the forest department by the villagers against Sanju Pradhan, but no actions were taken and so the mob decided to take the matter into their own hands. Around 100-150 people mercilessly killed a young individual in the name of justice.


Sapna Devi who watched her husband killed by 100 people, begged for help, screamed but couldn't do anything to save him. This trauma will live with her for the rest of her life and nothing can be done to bring her previous self back. Such incidents psychologically affect family members to a very bad extent because the guilt of not being able to do something about it eats them from within. 


Making laws and acts will not stop the crime or the criminals but the execution of it will. 


On Wednesday, Simdega DC Sushant Gaurav and SP Shams Tabrez visited the victim’s family assuring the arrest of the people responsible. DC also requested the BDO to keep a count of trees and mark them to avoid illegal felling of trees. 


Based on the statement of Simdega SDPO an FIR has been filed against 38 people and 3 have been arrested on Thursday. 


Hopefully, the family of the victim gets justice and the criminals get the punishment they deserve.

Controversies & Protests regarding the ban of hijab in colleges

-
A very popular saying is that one thing leads to another, what's required is just a small push. In December a government girls college in Udupi did not allow 6 girls to enter the college because they were wearing hijab. The college officials closed the gate while they tried to enter the college premises and asked them to remove their hijabs. The intention behind the authorities taking such an action was to avoid discrimination on college premises and to avoid following any culture and traditions inside the school but the question here is if you are trying to avoid discrimination then why not ask Punjabis to remove their turban, why not ask Hindus to stop wearing bindis, and tika to college. Every individual has the right to follow their traditions and culture, if someone is not comfortable removing their hijabs or turban they shouldn't be forced to do so. Threatening young girls on the pretext of education is illogical. Any law does not justify this action, and cannot. How can ...

It’s a historic breakthrough for scientists and researchers in the field of medicine to be able to transplant a pig’s heart into an adult human. Davit Bennett, a 57yrs old Maryland resident suffering from a life-threatening condition called Arrhythmia underwent a pig heart transplant in January 2022.  He had been hospitalized for weeks and was connected to a heart-lung bypass machine called extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to remain alive. He was deemed ineligible for an artificial heart pump due to his severe condition. The only choice left with the doctors of Maryland Medical center was to experiment with the pig's heart for Mr.Bennett to survive leading to a major breath through as Mr. Bennett after 3 days of transplant did not show any rejection to the pig’s heart. Transplantation of an animal’s heart is known as xenotransplantation which was previously performed in the 1980s on a newborn child named Stephanie Fae Beauclair who was born with a fatal heart condition. After a ...
