Punjab gangster Sukha Duneke, close aide of Khalistani terrorist Arsh Dalla, killed in Canada

NEW DELHI: According to numerous local and worldwide media sources, notorious Punjabi criminal Sukhdool Singh aka Sukha Deneke, who was a part of the anti-Indian Khalistan movement, was shot and killed in Winnipeg, Canada. Sukha allegedly used fraudulent passports to flee to Canada in 2017 and join the terrorist group Arsh Dalla from Khalistan. Sukha was thought to be to the right of Dalla, a terrorist on the National Investigation Agency's (NIA) wanted list. The incident occurs at a time when India and Canada's bilateral relations have reached an all-time low due to the death of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a second declared Kahlistani terrorist. India has been charged by Canada with being involved in the murder of Nijjar in early June of this year. Two hooded assailants shot and killed Nijjar in the Surrey parking lot of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara. In 2020, Delhi labelled him as a terrorist. Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada, accused New Delhi of being involved in the death of Nijjar in June and dismissed an Indian diplomat earlier on Monday. In a tit-for-tat response, India called the accusations "absurd and politically motivated" and ordered the head of the Canadian intelligence services' India post to leave the country in five days. The Canadian government has also amended its travel advice for its residents, advising them to avoid travelling to Punjab, Manipur, and Jammu and Kashmir if at all possible.In reaction, India issued a warning and urged its residents in Canada to proceed with the utmost caution in light of the rising number of "politically-condoned" hate crimes committed against Indian people and diplomats in Canada. Curiously, Dala was listed among the criminals and Khalistani terrorists based in Canada on the most recent NIA list. Along with other names, the list released by the NIA also contains Goldy Brar and Lakhbir Singh Linda. Linda is a notorious Khalistani terrorist who was responsible for the Punjab RPG incident.

Under this guise, the accused defrauded the complaint and other victims of substantial sums of money. According to a handout published by the Crime Branch, the claims were prima facie proved after a preliminary verification was launched following the receipt of the complaint. The case was then registered for a thorough investigation. Scientific, circumstantial, and other material evidence was gathered, pertinent records were seized, witness statements were recorded in accordance with sections 161 of the Criminal Procedure Code and 164 of the Criminal Code, and cheating offences against the accused for seducing the complainant and other unemployed youth victims under the pretence of setting up government jobs have been established.

Fraudster treated patient for 3 days in Srinagar’s major maternity hospital

SRINAGAR: In Srinagar's Government Lal Ded Hospital, a guy posing as a doctor is reported to have examined female patients for the past three days. According to Deputy Superintendent of Hospital Dr Mimoona, the impostor was caring to patients in the hospital's extremely private labour suite, usually writing prescriptions for ECGs. She stated that the impostor had been given to the police. It is exceedingly challenging to understand how this bogus doctor entered the hospital's labour area among a big crowd of patients and visitors, the speaker claimed.According to Dr. Mimoona, this fraudulent doctor was caught yesterday ordering an ECG for every patient in labour and identifying himself as a cardiologist from the Shri Maharaja Hari Singh (SMHS) Hospital in Srinagar. She claimed that one of the medical professionals working in the delivery room had called to inform her about a bogus physician posing as a cardiologist and exclusively giving ECGs to patients. She claimed that when we enquired about this person at the SMHS hospital, they informed us that no such doctor had been sent there.She said, "The person was not looking mentally fit while talking to the security personnel. We called the security person of Jammu and Kashmir Police who were on duty and they took him to the control room where doctors remain who always question." She claimed that they had taken him away. According to reports, the police have called the person's family to the police station and are awaiting medical records to determine his mental state.

MEA to Indians in Canada and those planning to travel there : Exercise caution

NEW DELHI: India warned its citizens in Canada and those considering a trip there on Wednesday to proceed with the utmost caution in light of anti-Indian actions taking place in several areas of that nation. Following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's charges of a "potential" participation of Indian agents in the execution of Khalistani rebel Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June, the advise came amid a further worsening of diplomatic relations between the two nations. "All Indian nationals in Canada and those considering travel are urged to exercise the utmost caution in light of growing anti-India activities, politically-condoned hate crimes and criminal violence, " the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) stated in the alert. The statement read, "Recent threats have targeted Indian diplomats and Indian community members who oppose the anti-India agenda in particular." Indian nationals are consequently urged to stay away from areas and possible locations in Canada that have seen such events, the statement continued. According to the MEA, the Indian High Commission and general consulates would keep in touch with the Canadian government to ensure the security and well-being of the Indian community in Canada. According to the alert, "Indian students in particular are advised to exercise extreme caution and remain vigilant given the deteriorating security environment in Canada."

Onus lies with Pakistan for creating conducive atmosphere for resumption of Indo-Pak dialogue: Omar

JAMMU: Omar Abdullah, vice president of the National Conference, stated on Wednesday that Pakistan is responsible for fostering an environment in Jammu and Kashmir that will allow for the restart of talks with India. ''This runs the risk of damaging a very strong bilateral relationship,'' he said, referring to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations of a ''potential'' involvement of Indian agents in the killing of a Khalistani separatist leader in Canada in June. Given the significant problems in the women's reservation bill, especially the timing for its implementation, the former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir stated that his party will not be able to unilaterally endorse it."We have always backed communication between India and Pakistan, but for the discussions to pick back up, a friendly environment is required. At the headquarters of his party in this city, Abdullah told reporters that creating a climate that is conducive to discussion is not just India's job but also Pakistan's. He stated that the happenings in Rajouri, Kokernag, and Srinagar cannot help in fostering the conducive environment required for the conversation in reference to the army and police officials who died in recent confrontations. He claimed that so far, he has not observed any action from the adjoining nation that would aid in fostering the favourable environment required for the talk."I constantly think back to the quote by A. B. Vajpayee, the previous prime minister, that you may change your friends but not your neighbours. No matter what we do, that nation (Pakistan) will continue to be a neighbour. However, he added, "that nation must strive towards creating a favourable environment before negotiations can begin. Abdullah, a former Union minister of state for external affairs, responded that if the Canadian prime minister had any supporting documentation, he should submit it to the world community when questioned about the assertion. ''He says it's based on an ongoing inquiry,'' he says. He should not have preempted the investigation's results by acting now; instead, he should have waited for it to be finished.The connection with Canada has always been extremely good, so if he has evidence to back up his allegation, I would humbly recommend that he share it with the international audience. Otherwise, his comment carries the risk of tarnishing a very solid bilateral relationship. Abdullah said, "That will be really sad. According to him, it will take at least 10 years to implement the women's reservation measure that was introduced into Parliament on Wednesday. The bill mentions delimitation and a census before it is put into effect. Therefore, there is no chance before 2029 and there is a strong likelihood that it would fail by 2034. Why call a special session of Parliament when we had to wait at least ten years to pass a measure is unclear. He suggested that it might have been brought during the winter session. Abdullah stated that they hoped the bill will be enacted quickly and put into effect right away. "This bill has flaws, and we will work to have those flaws fixed." I don't see how we will be able to support a bill that we feel still has flaws on our own,'' he said. He stated that the National Conference has always supported the dignified repatriation of Kashmiri Pandits and their subsequent rehabilitation.Who will object to it (the rehabilitation and return of migrant pandits)? You won't need to drag them back, I've always said. They departed from there (Kashmir) as a result of their sense of unease. They will return if you give them a sense of security again, he said. Moving them from one camp to another, according to him, is meaningless. The environment must be created so they return voluntarily and can reside wherever they choose. That is what we want to see, Abdullah remarked. [caption id="attachment_2970" align="alignnone" width="300"] Onus lies with…
