These applications were filed in the writ petitions preferred by some police personnel of Manipur Police seeking quashing of certain oral observations made by the bench in Extra-Judicial Execution Victim Families Association v.

Thunderstorms and hail to batter UK today before ‘Indian Summer’ this week – see how YOU are affected with our weather forecast maps
HAIL and thunder is set to batter parts of Britain today as the torrential weather continues - before an 'Indian Summer' hits later in the week.

Thugs vandalise Sikh soldier memorial just days after being unveiled in honour of thousands of Indians killed in both world wars
THUGS have vandalised a memorial of a Sikh soldier just days after it was unveiled in honour of thousands of Indians who were killed in both world wars. Police say they are treating the sick graffiti on the Lions of the Great War statue in Smethwick, Birmingham, as racially aggravated criminal damage. It was unveiled on November 4 - a week before the centenary of the Armistice - but by Friday night had been sprayed with the words "Sepoys no more". The 10ft-high bronze statue was commissioned by Sikh temple Guru Nanak Gurdwara Smethwick to mark the sacrifices made by South Asian servicemen of all faiths in the First and Second World Wars. The term "sepoy" refers to Indian soldiers serving in the British or other European armies.

There was speculation on social media that the phrase could refer to Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale - a … [Read more...] about Thugs vandalise Sikh soldier memorial just days after being unveiled in honour of thousands of Indians killed in both world wars
