@kaypeem @toisports @timesofindia @TOISH31 Thanks for sharing your view.

[Arpan Gupta @arpangupta343]

@kaypeem @toisports @timesofindia @TOISH31 Sir, who do you think is correct in this tussle on eligibility to participate in the ranking tournament at Gonda.

[Arpan Gupta @arpangupta343]

@iNitinTyagi Your points are valid. But at the time these posts, without proof, gain popularity because they resonate with people who had similar experiences.

[Arpan Gupta @arpangupta343]

@8eenpoint5 One of the primary drivers is economics behind this. They are in show biz. They make significant earnings from assignments that require them to look charming and beautiful. So pics without makeup getting published in media is likely to impact their potential earnings negatively

@Telugu360 Great work.. but to fully realize the benefits of this operation or any other police work, the judicial system also needs to step up and deliver justice quickly. Then the real deterrence will build up.

@BhutaniRahul @kaypeem Although, I think that athletes training under @JamesHillier78 at RF have shown inclination not to shy away from competition more than some of the other athletes

[Arpan Gupta @arpangupta343]

@BhutaniRahul @kaypeem Haha.. true..

[Arpan Gupta @arpangupta343]

@kaypeem @BhutaniRahul It is also good to see that some of the new-age athletes are not worried about participating in competitions soon after a big event..

[Arpan Gupta @arpangupta343]

@MisraSundeep @nnis_sports 2/2 Just because a person is persuing athletics, unreasonable exceptions can't become a norm. Having said that, as I said earlier there need to be clear guidelines about poles as to how can athletes carry them (maybe book separately as a freight).

[Arpan Gupta @arpangupta343]

@MisraSundeep @nnis_sports (1/2)Various professionals such as doctors, teachers, athletes, defence personnel, journalists, scientists, farmers etc. contribute to a country. Allowances can be made but have to be reasonable. Allowing long poles is definitely not a regular practice seen across the globe...

[Arpan Gupta @arpangupta343]

Remember these cases.. rise above caste, language, religion, gender, etc. and elect leaders with better vision for India

Her name was Madhumita Shukla.

She was 24 years old. A poet from Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh. Known across UP for reciting poems of courage at literary gatherings without notes.

She was six months pregnant when she was killed.

On May 9, 2003, two men knocked on her door in Lucknow’s Paper Mill Colony. She recognised them and let them in.

Minutes later, her helper heard a gunshot from the next room. Madhumita was dead. Shot in the chest.

CBI established she had been in a relationship with Amarmani Tripathi. A four time MLA and sitting cabinet minister in Uttar Pradesh. She was pregnant with his child for the third time. She had refused to abort despite continuous pressure.

DNA testing of the foetus confirmed his paternity.

A 35 page diary recovered from her home documented everything. She had written to God saying Amarmani wanted to get rid of her.

CBI concluded Amarmani and his wife Madhumani conspired to have her killed. During the investigation, he planted false stories in media, fabricated evidence and threatened her sister and mother directly. The officer who refused to give him a clean chit was suspended mid investigation.

The trial was transferred from Lucknow to Dehradun by the Supreme Court due to political interference.

In October 2007, both were convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.

While in jail, Amarmani won a UP Assembly election in 2007. The couple were found holding rock concerts inside Gorakhpur jail and spent extended periods in hospitals outside prison.

In August 2023, the UP government released them early after 16 years citing good behaviour.

Madhumita’s sister Nidhi challenged it in the Supreme Court. In March 2025, the court dismissed her plea.

She said I am afraid for my life and my family’s life.

Madhumita was 24 years old. Six months pregnant. A poet who wrote about courage.

Her killers are free today.

@_sayema Accountability needs to be built in systems. We need laws that make mistakes costly for people involved in the system and we need time bound delivery of justice

[Arpan Gupta @arpangupta343]

Accountability is the need of the hour.. we need laws that make bureaucrats and politicians accountable..

His name was Pradyumn Thakur.

He was 7 years old. Class 2 at Ryan International School in Gurugram, Haryana.

His father dropped him at the school gate at 7:55 am on September 8, 2017. At 8:08 am, he was found outside a washroom with his throat slit. He was rushed to hospital and declared dead on arrival.

The school did not call the police. His parents did.

Haryana Police arrived three and a half hours later.

They noticed blood stains on bus conductor Ashok Kumar. The same clothes he wore while carrying a bleeding 7 year old child to a car.

On September 10, the Police Commissioner held a press conference. He declared Ashok Kumar was the killer. He said Ashok had tried to sexually assault Pradyumn and murdered him.

The Chief Minister of Haryana congratulated the police for solving the case.

The Bar Association of Gurugram passed a resolution refusing to let any lawyer defend Ashok Kumar. The Supreme Court later disciplined them for this.

Pradyumn’s mother said from day one she believed Ashok was being framed.

CBI took over the case.

They found no forensic evidence against Ashok Kumar. No evidence of sexual assault. The gardener who was first at the scene said he saw no blood on Ashok before Ashok helped carry the child. The claimed semen sample did not exist. [Source: CBI chargesheet 2018]

In November 2017, CBI arrested the real accused. A 16 year old student at the same school. CBI said he confessed to killing Pradyumn to get his exams cancelled.

He chose his victim randomly.

Ashok Kumar was acquitted of all charges on February 28, 2018. [Source: Child Special Court Gurugram judgment February 28, 2018]

In January 2021, CBI charged four Gurugram Police officers with framing Ashok Kumar. Falsifying documents. Torture. Criminal conspiracy. [Source: CBI chargesheet January 2021]

Those four officers have not been convicted.

The Police Commissioner who declared Ashok guilty on television faced no consequences. The Chief Minister who congratulated police faced no consequences.

Pradyumn’s family is still waiting for justice for their son.

@kaypeem @BhutaniRahul @afiindia it's strange that we are following a completely different strategy compared to the rest of the world without any significant results outside Asia.

[Arpan Gupta @arpangupta343]

@kaypeem @BhutaniRahul @afiindia Do other countries spend so much time/resources on relays as India? Is it a prudent strategy?

[Arpan Gupta @arpangupta343]

@kaypeem @BhutaniRahul I don't think anyone realistically expected any of the teams to qualify....teams delivering SB/NR was heartening on first day.. but the second day was disappointing with DNF/baton dropping..

[Arpan Gupta @arpangupta343]

Heartbreaking..may they rest in peace.. tomorrow, it could be us.. we citizens of India need to demand laws that make politicians and bureaucrats accountable..We need to wake up and think beyond religion, caste, language, etc. #fixAccountabilityInIndia

[Kasturi @KasthuriShankar]

My heart is broken.
She died clutching her son. She held on to him and to hope till the very end.
He died clutching his mom. In complete trust. Complete surrender.
I am crying. Their smiles will haunt me forever.

She was wearing life jacket. They say others were saved. Why did this mother and child perish?
In India we equate rivers with mothers. What mother eats her own children?
I believe in a mother goddess- a Parashakti- and I hate her just now.
