New Delhi: Congress social media chief Divya Spandana tweeted an embarrassing error in the BJP’s newly released manifesto that says the government has “made strict provisions for transferring the laws in order to commit crimes against women”.

In the chapter titled ‘Women Empowerment,’ under the section titled ‘Ensuring a Dignified Life for Women’ point number 11 states that “Women’s security will be given more priority. We have constituted the Women’s Security Division in the Home Ministry, and have made strict provisions for transferring the laws in order to commit crimes against women.”

In the same sentence ‘trial for rape’ has been printed as ‘trail for rape’.

Congress’ official Twitter handle also tweeted the error and said, “At least one point in BJP’s Manifesto reflects their true intentions.”

Much of the Twitterati was of the opinion that such a grave error shows that issue wasn’t given much attention in the manifesto.

One Twitter user called it a ‘Freudian slip’.

“Too busy looking for mistakes in Rahul Gandhi’s speeches, but forgot to proofread their own mistakes,” one Twitter user said.

BJP forgot to run a grammar check or spell check on the manifesto, said Twitterati.

Patna: Mohammed Athar Hussain, a 55-year-old Muslim cloth vendor, tragically died on Friday, a week after sustaining severe injuries in a horrific lynching, reported The Print.

Hussain, who made his living by selling clothes on a bicycle in the rural areas of Nawada for the last decade, is survived by his wife, Shabnam Parveen, and three children.

Before his death at a government hospital, Hussain recorded a video statement.

In the video, which is doing rounds on social media platforms, Hussain alleged that four men initially locked him in a room. They later returned late at night and, stripped him to find out his religion, identifying him as a "miyan ji" (a Muslim). He claimed the assailants then poured petrol on him, branded him with a hot iron rod, and used pliers to cut off his ear.

Furthermore, he stated, "The assault continued as some were beating with sticks, while others were using pliers to cut off my fingers and ear."

Speaking to The Print, his brother, Mohammed Shaqib, described the shock of seeing his elder brother's picture injured, telling that the family had been dealt a blow from which it would never recover.

No mention of lynching in FIR

Meanwhile, quoting Nawada Sadar SDPO Hulas Kumar, The Print reported that while the victim made serious allegations, his wife did not document the specific claim that her husband was stripped to determine his religion in her initial police complaint, dated December 6.

Furthermore, a senior police official in Patna denied this was a religious lynching, instead terming it a case of "mistaken identity" where the deceased was assaulted under suspicion of theft.

Bihar Director General of Police (DGP) Vinay Kumar confirmed that both the murder case against the assailants and a separate theft complaint, filed by one of the accused against Hussain, are being probed to reach a logical conclusion.

The DGP told The Print that while the theft case is being investigated, the focus is clearly more on the lynching case.

Following Hussain's death, Nawada Police upgraded the charges, adding Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which deals with the offense of murder.

According to reports, police have successfully arrested nine people in connection with the assault, including four individuals specifically named in the FIR filed by Hussain’s wife.

One of the nine accused, Sikandar Yadav, is the same man who accused Hussain of theft, claiming that this accusation led to the assault.

The statements given by arrested suspects, including Sree Yadav and Ranjan Kumar, reportedly led police to the remaining five accused.

Further probe in this regard is underway.
