K'taka bans, Bombay HC stays "Hamare Barah" movie over alleged derogatory portrayl of Muslim women
Bengaluru: The Karnataka government has issued an order banning the Hindi movie "Hamare Barah" due to its alleged derogatory portrayal of Muslim girl women.
According to the order, the ban includes the prohibition of broadcasting the movie's trailer through any medium, including media, social media, cinema halls, and private TV channels. Director General of Police Alok Mohan has warned of legal action against any violations of this order.

Thane police nab two women for stealing ornaments from bus passengers, in public places
Thane (PTI): The Thane Crime Branch has arrested two women for allegedly stealing gold ornaments from citizens and solved nine such cases with the recovery of jewellery worth Rs 37.19 lakh, an official said on Friday.
Senior Inspector Sachin Gaikwad of Crime Unit-I said the accused targeted elderly commuters and passengers on crowded buses.
The latest case came to light after a 72-year-old woman recently approached the police, saying a gold-encrusted purse was stolen from her bag when she was travelling by bus from Kharegaon Naka to Ozone Valley bus stop in Thane.
A team examined CCTV footage from the area and gathered information about the suspects, he said. “Acting on technical inputs and surveillance, the Crime Branch team arrested the two accused women on May 7,” Gaikwad said.
The accused were identified as Sangeeta Dashrath Peethkar (45) and Surekha Bajrang Gaikwad (47), both residents of Mumbai’s Mulund, which is located adjacent to Thane.
Police said the two women are involved in nine theft offences. Gold ornaments collectively valued at Rs 37.19 lakh have been recovered from the duo, said police, adding that further investigation is underway.
