Sillod: In a controversial speech delivered in Sillod, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, on August 14, Suresh Chavhanke, the editor-in-chief of Sudarshan News, made several inflammatory remarks targeting the Muslim community. Chavhanke, known for his provocative rhetoric, urged an economic boycott of Muslims and called for the removal of what he described as "infiltrators" from the country.
Chavhanke claimed that there are 10 crore "infiltrators" in India, including Bangladeshis, Rohingyas, Pakistanis, and Afghans, who he blamed for the majority of crimes in Maharashtra.
He further alleged that the population of Hindus in the state has significantly declined and justified the demolition of a mosque near Vishalgad, comparing it to actions taken by Shivaji as claimed by him.

Kerala HC denies bail to police officer accused of 'raping' minor Dalit girl
Kochi (PTI): The Kerala High Court has denied bail to a police officer accused of raping a 14-year-old school girl belonging to Dalit community two years ago on Children's Day in a house in Thrissur district of the state.
Justice K Babu denied the relief to the officer, who was a Student Police Cadet (SPC) instructor in the victim's school, saying that he had committed a "heinous offence" and was "not entitled to be released on bail".
"While the court cannot ignore the fundamental right of the accused under Article 21 of the Constitution, it cannot shut its eyes totally to the atrocious nature of the offence committed.
"The material placed by the prosecution would reveal that the appellant (police officer) is alleged to have committed heinous offences. The prosecution has established a prima facie case," the High Court said.
The order came on the officer's plea challenging a session court's decision rejecting his bail application.
According to the prosecution, the victim is a member of Scheduled Caste and the accused seduced her by maintaining a relationship with her over the phone.
On November 14, 2022, he took her to a house near Kodungallur in Thrissur district by offering a birthday treat and raped her, the prosecution told the High Court.
He was arrested on September 26, 2024 and has been in judicial custody since then.
The officer has been booked for various offences, including rape, under the IPC, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
