Child-trafficking case: CID grills BJP worker Kailash Vijayvargiya
Indore: The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of West Bengal questioned the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya for two hours in connection with alleged child trafficking case, in Indore.
However, Vijayvargiya had always denied the allegations and claimed that this was an attempt of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) to malign the image of BJP in West Bengal.
In July 20, the CID of West Bengal had sent notices to BJP MP Roopa Ganguly and party general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya in connection with the case.
Besides Ganguly, the notice, under Section 160 CrPC, had also been sent to Vinayak Mishra, Prashant Saree. The CID, which has sent a notice to Kailash Vijayvargiya and Roopa Ganguly under Section 160 CrPC, has also summoned them to appear before it on July 27 and 29.
As per the reports, one of the accused in the case had sought help from both the political leaders for the renewal of the license of a shelter home that was allegedly working for international child trafficking racket. The accused reportedly also offered expensive gifts to Vijayvargiya and Ganguly in return for the favours.

Ramdev criticises US, Israel over Iran war; video viral
New Delhi: Yoga guru Baba Ramdev has sharply criticised the United States and Israel over their conflict with Iran, in a video from a television interview that has gone viral on social media.
Speaking on a show aired by ABP News, Ramdev was asked whether India should support Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was reported to have been killed on the first day of the war on February 28.
Responding to the question, Ramdev said, “You can kill a person, but you cannot kill his ideas, his philosophy, his mindset, his spirit, or his valour and heroism.”
He went on to express support for Iran, saying he may not know much about the country but believes its people cannot be subdued. Referring to the Shia Muslim community, he said no one could make them “bow down” or defeat them, adding that a significant section of Iran’s population strongly identifies with Khamenei’s ideology.
When asked about Netanyahu, Ramdev criticised both him and US President Donald Trump, saying they are “both cut from the same cloth.” He added, “I am not calling anyone a thief; I am simply citing a proverb it implies that they are both of the same ilk, and I consider them both to be war criminals. I consider them criminals against humanity; I consider them criminals against nature and the environment.”
He further said that the United States and Israel have “erected a Himalaya-sized mountain of political mistrust” and claimed that both countries would have to face the consequences for decades. “In this conflict, neither can America and Israel emerge victorious, nor can Iran be defeated,” he said.
Ramdev’s remarks come at a time when India’s position on the conflict has drawn attention. The government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has maintained what it describes as “strategic autonomy” in foreign policy.
