Nelyadi: Woman alleges assault by Banjrang Dal while taking her calf back home, video viral
Uppinangady: In a video that has gone viral on social media, a Mannagundi Nelyadi woman resident has accused the BJP and Bajrang Dal gang of assaulting her and her employee three days ago while they were taking home a female calf belonging to the woman after the day’s grazing. Reportedly, the victimized woman is seen crying in the video detailing the physical assault inflicted on her by the BJP and Bajrang Dal gang.
The woman who was assaulted and victimized in the incident is receiving treatment in a private hospital at Nelyadi. She has reportedly demanded that the police help her obtain justice in the case.
Incident Detail: The woman, who is a resident of Mannagundi had been running a small shop at Parishanthi and as part of her daily routine, every morning she used to bring her female calf for grazing and tie it close to her shop. On April 27, as per usual, she had opened shop while her calf grazed close to her shop, it is learned. At the end of the day, after closing shop around 7.30 pm, the man she had employed known as Kumar was taking the calf back to her residence when a gang of 10 BJP and Bajrang Dal men arrived in a Bolero and another accompanying car and stopped him accusing, “You are taking the calf for slaughter” and began assaulting Kumar. When the woman learned of the matter, she immediately arrived at the spot and she was attacked by the gang who verbally abused her, tore her clothes, assaulted her, and snatched the Mangalsutra on her neck, the victimized woman said in the video.
“After sustaining injuries, I admitted myself to a private hospital. From the gang who assaulted me, I have already mentioned the name of Kokkada’s Mahesh to the police. Despite this, no case has been registered”, the victimized woman accused.
FIR will be registered, then an investigation will be undertaken: Kumar Kamble
The Sub Inspector at the Uppinangady Police station Kumar Kamble responded to the incident and said, “The woman who is making allegations of assault by a gang had refused to file an FIR while giving a statement earlier. And investigations have revealed that during the time of the assault, this woman was not at the site. Now, the video of that woman speaking about the incident has become viral. Therefore, her statement will be recorded once again and an FIR will be registered, investigations will be undertaken. If during investigations it is found that there is no truth to the allegations and the woman has given a false complaint, a case will also be registered against her”, he said.

Class 10 admit cards accompanied by pass certificates can be used as ID: SC in West Bengal SIR
New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Wednesday clarified that Class 10 admit card accompanied by pass certificate can be produced as supplementary documentation for identity verification in the ongoing SIR exercise in West Bengal.
A bench of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi passed the order after senior advocate DS Naidu mentioned the matter.
The lawyer expressed concerns about whether such admit cards can be permitted to be a standalone identity document.
The top court said it has already directed that the admit card will only be a supplementary document.
"All documents mentioned in para 3(iii) of order dated February 24, 2026 which are not uploaded so far and received before February 15, shall be submitted by the Electoral Registration Officers, Assistant Electoral Registration Officers to the presiding judicial officers by tomorrow 5 PM.
"Similarly, para 3(iii)(c) is clarified to the effect that Madhyamik (Class 10) admit cards may be submitted along with pass certificate for the purpose of birth certificate and purposes of parentage," the bench said.
The apex court on Tuesday allowed the deployment of West Bengal civil judges, in addition to 250 district judges, and the requisitioning of judicial officers from Jharkhand and Odisha to handle 80 lakh claims and objections of those facing deletion from the electoral roll in the ongoing SIR exercise in the state.
It took note of a February 22 letter of Calcutta High Court Chief Justice Sujoy Paul that even if 250 district judges deployed in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise will take around 80 days to deal with the claims and objections of those put under logical discrepancy and unmapped categories.
The logical discrepancies in progeny linking with the 2002 voter list include instances of a mismatch in the parent's name and the age difference between a voter and his/her parent being less than 15 years or more than 50 years.
While issuing a slew of fresh directions, CJI Kant took note of the fact that even if each judicial officer deals with 250 claims and objections per day, the exercise will take around 80 days to conclude. The deadline for West Bengal SIR is February 28.
The bench permitted Chief Justice Paul to deploy civil judges from the senior and junior divisions with a minimum three-year experience to verify the claims and objections filed by the voters.
It asked the Calcutta High Court chief justice to request his Jharkhand and Odisha counterparts for requisition of judicial officers of similar ranks to deal with the situation.
