News anchor Anjana Om Kashyap calls Aditya Thackeray 'Rahul Gandhi of Shiv Sena', apologies
Hindi news channel Aaj Tak’s anchor Anjana Om Kashyap had a rather embarrassing moment on September 21 when she made a comment on Shiv Sena leader Aditya Thackeray. The comment was inadvertently played on live television.
In her comments, Anjana Om Kashyap called Aditya Thackeray the “Rahul Gandhi of Shiv Sena”, while a video clip of Thackeray was on the screen. It appears like Kashyap was unaware that her voice was still audible to the viewers.
The anchor later issued an apology, calling the statement a “lapse of judgment”.
Aditya Thackeray must have felt bad over this. Just imagine how Rahul Gandhi must feel. pic.twitter.com/glXX6DuRXZ

My remark on Aditya Thackeray which is being spread with malice was out of lapse of judgement. I regret it. This, by no means, reflects the views of the channel or the network.

Bijnor (PTI): Two men were arrested in this Uttar Pradesh district on Friday for allegedly being in touch with a Pakistan-linked handler based in Dubai, police said.
Circle Officer, Najibabad, Anjani Kumar Chaturvedi said Uvaid Malik and Jalal Haider were arrested following inputs on their alleged links with Aqib, a resident of Meerut currently staying in Dubai.
According to police, Aqib had earlier come into the spotlight after a video surfaced on Instagram purportedly showing him displaying an AK-47 rifle and explosives.
During interrogation, the arrested men allegedly told police that Aqib used to incite youngsters against Hindus and encourage anti-national activities, the officer said, adding that detailed questioning of the accused is underway.
On April 6, Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhishek Jha said the video first surfaced in November last year. Aqib, a native of Sathla village in the Mawana area of Meerut, was allegedly seen in the video brandishing weapons.
Following the viral clip, a case was registered at the Nangal police station by sub-inspector Vinod Kumar. However, the then station house officer and investigating officer Satyendra Singh had recorded Aqib's statement and filed a final report, stating that the weapons seen in the video were toys, effectively giving him a clean chit.
Police said fresh developments have now revealed Aqib's suspicious links and the probe has been handed over to the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS).
The SP said action has been taken against the officials concerned, with the then SHO and investigating officer suspended and Circle Officer Nitesh Pratap Singh removed from his post.
