The father of a 22-year-old man who allegedly killed himself at a police station in Kasganj, Uttar Pradesh, on Tuesday has rejected the contents of a letter purportedly signed with his thumbprint, in which he appears to absolve the UP police of any blame for his son’s alleged suicide and claims his son committed suicide due to “depression.”
The letter went viral on social media Friday night, although it’s unclear who sent it out. The man, Altaf, was taken to the police station on Monday evening for questioning in connection with a case filed last week alleging “woman kidnapped and forced marriage.”

]]>The Supreme Court voiced its concern on Monday with the Uttar Pradesh government’s status report on the October 3 violence in Lakhimpur Kheri, in which eight persons were killed, including four farmers and a local journalist.
The court stated that the status report contained nothing other than the government’s statement that more witnesses had been questioned in the case. The court stated, “This is not going the way we expected.”
Further, the highest court said it will assign a former judge of a high court from outside UP to monitor the inquiry, citing its dissatisfaction with the mingling of witnesses in separate FIRs in the case. On Friday, the case will be heard again.

]]>At least 17 people were killed in celebratory gunfire in Kabul, news agencies said on Saturday, after Taliban sources said their fighters had seized control of Panjshir, the last province in Afghanistan holding out against the Islamist group.
Leaders of opposition to the Taliban have denied that the province has fallen.
The Shamshad news agency said “aerial shooting” in Kabul on Friday killed 17 people and wounded 41. Tolo news agency gave a similar death count.
At least 14 people were injured in celebratory firing in Nangarhar province east of the capital, said Gulzada Sangar, spokesman for an area hospital in the provincial capital of Jalalabad.
The gunfire drew a rebuke from the main Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid.
“Avoid shooting in the air and thank God instead,” Mujahid said in a message on Twitter. “Bullets can harm civilians, so don’t shoot unnecessarily.”
