NEW DELHI, Jan 3: Hundreds of junior wrestlers gathered at Jantar Mantar in this city on Wednesday to voice their protest against the loss of a pivotal year in their careers, which they attributed to the actions of top grapplers Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik, and Vinesh Phogat. This development added a new dimension to the ongoing crisis in Indian wrestling. The junior wrestlers surprised the police by arriving from various parts of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Delhi, loaded into buses. Many of them were from the Virender Wrestling Academy in Narela, and nearly 300 of them were from the Arya Samaj Akhara in Chhaprauli, Baghpat. Many are still crammed into buses, and when more wrestlers show up at the historic protest site, they intend to get off and join their comrades.As they chanted anti-Punia, anti-Malik, and anti-Phogat slogans, the security guards found it difficult to keep them under control. The slogan "UWW save our wrestling from these 3 wrestlers" was flown by the demonstrators. Strangely, the top three wrestlers at the same protest location nearly a year ago were able to mobilise a sizable crowd in support of their cause when they demanded the arrest of former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on charges of harassing women wrestlers sexually. Thousands of supporters of Malik, Phogat, and Punia turned out from a variety of social groups, including farmers' organisations, social workers, politicians, women's organisations, and wrestling fraternity members.The three are currently the target of demonstrations from members of their community who have gathered at Jantar Mantar, claiming that they have ruined their careers. National teams and tournaments have not taken place since January 2023 because the WFI has been suspended twice and the sport is now governed by an ad hoc panel. Protesters on Wednesday called for the reinstatement of the suspended WFI following the dissolution of the ad hoc panel that the sports ministry had designated to oversee the sport.

New Delhi, Jan 3: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) searched 31 locations in Rajasthan and Haryana on Wednesday in relation to the death of Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi. Following directives from the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Central agency registered a case last month, and raids are still ongoing at the residences of suspects connected to it. These searches were conducted by several NIA teams working closely with the state Police. The action was taken a few days after the Rajasthan Police case was taken over by the NIA due to the possibility that prominent gangsters were involved in the murder.Three gunmen shot and killed the Karni Sena chief on December 5 at his Jaipur, Rajasthan, home. Gangster Rohit Godara, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, took credit for Gogamedi's death shortly after it happened. On December 9, in Chandigarh, the two gunmen, Rohit Rathore and Nitin Fauji, were taken into custody. They told the police that Godara was the one who gave the order to kill. The main inquiry also discovered that the gunmen communicated with Godara's close assistants, Virendra Chahan and Danaram, during their escape.Officials believe that Godara and Gogamedi's disagreement over obtaining a ransom from certain businessmen may have contributed to the murder. Together with her husband, another woman has been detained in relation to the case; she is accused of supplying weapons and setting up lodging. Amidst the gunfire, the third gunman lost his life. CCTV footage of Gogamedi's murder showed two men shooting at the Karni Sena chief several times while a third man stood at the door. After Gogamedi was seen unconscious on the ground due to gunshot wounds, he was rushed to the hospital, where medical professionals pronounced him deceased. The security guard for Gogamedi who was hurt in the incident also passed away later.

NEW DELHI: On Tuesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah emphasised the need to eradicate the terror ecosystem entirely and gave officials orders to bolster counter terrorism efforts in Jammu and Kashmir. In addition to recommending security agencies' appropriate deployment in Jammu and Kashmir's high-risk areas, Shah emphasised that all necessary protocols should be followed when carrying out counterterrorism operations. An official spokesperson said that the directives were issued during a high-level meeting that took place at the North Block in this city and during which the home minister examined the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir. The meeting was attended by top intelligence and security agency officials, Chief of Army Staff General Manoj Pande, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, and Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha.In order to eradicate the threat of terrorism, Shah reviewed the security agencies' area domination plan for Jammu and Kashmir during the meeting. He directed officials to bolster counterterrorism operations and emphasised the necessity of totally eliminating the terror ecosystem while examining the security grid's operation and the state of general security in Jammu and Kashmir. According to the spokesperson, the home minister also gave the security agencies advice on how best to deploy personnel in high-risk areas. He said that the government will continue to take a zero-tolerance stance against terrorism under the direction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Two weeks had passed since terrorists ambushed five soldiers in the Poonch district, killing them. Outrage erupted when three civilians, ages 27 to 42, who had allegedly been picked up by the Army for questioning, were discovered dead the day following the terror attack on December 21. Following these incidents, Poonch was visited by Army Chief of Staff Pande and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. The Jammu and Kashmir government had previously declared that legal action had been started and that compensation and jobs would be given to the families of the civilians who had died. During the review meeting, the home minister expressed gratitude to the Union Territory administration and security agencies for their efforts in reducing terror-related incidents, improving law and order, and preventing infiltration. Jammu and Kashmir has seen sporadic violence since the start of 2023. 54 people, including 28 terrorists and 19 security personnel, were killed in a series of encounters that occurred in the Jammu and Kashmir districts of Rajouri, Poonch, and Reasi last year, according to officials. The increase in violence has been attributed by the authorities to "desperate attempts from across the border" to resurrect terrorism in the area. In the Poonch district, there were 15 terrorists and five security personnel slain, while 31 people—ten terrorists and fourteen security personnel—were killed in Rajouri. In the district of Reasi, three terrorists were killed. [caption id="attachment_8237" align="alignnone" width="300"] Amit Shah instructs officials to strengthen counter-terror operations in J&K…
