Man held for Farage shooting threat used British Asian's photo, Hindu posts

Man held for Farage shooting threat used British Asian's photo, Hindu posts LONDON: A man arrested for threatening to shoot Nigel Farage in the head has a profile picture of a British Asian man on his social media and has tweeted “Hindu phrases”, a UK newspaper said. The Metropolitan police confirmed to TOI that a man in his 20s was arrested on Tuesday at a residential address in south London on suspicion of sending threatening communications to an MP. The threat directed at the Reform UK leader said “I am going to shoot you in the head if you win” and was posted on X in May. The Daily Telegraph said that the suspect described himself as a terrorist on social media and his profile picture on X is of a British Asian man. “He … describes himself as a Liberal Democrat,” wrote. The tweet was identified by parliament’s security information and risk analysis service and was reported to the Metropolitan police’s parliamentary liaison and investigations team as a threat directed towards a serving MP. A Met spokesperson said: “After receiving the report, detectives submitted an application to a social media platform to gain access to the user’s contact information. After the relevant information was returned to detectives the man was arrested, with support from local Met officers.” After being held in police custody overnight, the man has been released on police bail pending further enquiries. Farage told: “This is the first time the police have ever proactively acted on a social media post, and I hope they are looking at the other 300 or 400 similar posts from this year alone.

SC closes T.N. SIR case following Bihar SIR verdict

SIR case following Bihar SIR verdict The Supreme Court on Thursday closed the proceedings on 13 petitions filed by political parties and leaders challenging the conduct of a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Tamil Nadu. A Bench headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant took note of submissions by petitioners that the case did not require further adjudication in view of the apex court judgment in the Bihar SIR. The bench then disposed of all 13 petitions on the issue. On May 27, a Bench headed by the CJI delivered its judgment on a batch of petitions challenging SIR in Bihar and upheld its power to conduct the exercise by the Election Commission. It had held the exercise “breathes life” into the constitutional mandate for fair elections and advanced the “constitutional imperative of free and fair elections”. The parties, including the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, had challenged the SIR as a “de novo citizenship verification process” which ran the risk of disenfranchising lakhs of voters in the State. The petitioners had referred to the “unilateral imposition” of the intensive exercise without consultation with State governments as an “erosion of the federal structure”. “Tamil Nadu’s role has been reduced to a mere executing agency, despite the measure’s significant implications for its electorate,” one of the petitions had contended.

Madhya Pradesh High Court allows 52-year-old woman to undergo IVF

Madhya Pradesh High Court allows 52-year-old woman to undergo IVF Madhya Pradesh High Court allows 52-year-old woman to undergo IVF The Madhya Pradesh High Court has allowed a 52-year-old woman to undergo IVF at a recognised institution. It said medical fitness, not age alone, should decide access to motherhood. The Madhya Pradesh High Court has allowed a 52-year-old woman to undergo in vitro fertilisation, holding that a medically fit woman cannot be denied motherhood solely because she has crossed the age prescribed under the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021. Justice Vishal Mishra passed the order on July 10 while allowing a petition filed by the woman and her husband. The court said the IVF procedure could be carried out at any recognised medical institution, though the final decision would remain with the hospital on medical grounds. The couple approached the court after a hospital declined to carry out the procedure despite finding them medically fit following the required tests. Their only son had died of jaundice at the age of 21, and they wanted another child after being unable to conceive naturally. The hospital cited the provisions of the Assisted Reproductive Technology Act, which prescribes the eligible age for women as above 21 years and below 50 years, and for men as above 21 years and below 55 years.
