A police raid in Fatehganj East has sparked controversy after local women accused the Uttarakhand Police of assault, vandalism, and unlawful detention.

- HT Correspondent

MEERUT: Around eight women have lodged formal complaints at the Fatehganj East police station, alleging that officers broke into their homes, misbehaved with residents, and took away their family members without justification.

According to reports, Udham Singh Nagar SSP, Manikant Mishra, led a raid in the early hours of Monday in Fatehganj East town, targeting alleged smugglers. However, the operation yielded no arrests of actual suspects. Frustrated by the failure, police allegedly resorted to violence against locals, including elderly individuals and women. Witnesses claim that officers forcibly entered homes, ransacked belongings, and detained several people without explanation.

Honour role

What does it take to tell a war story with a sense of truth? From the start, Raghavan says, he was determined that his film would follow the facts. What did soldiers really feel? What thoughts went through their minds? What did it take to override the basic human imperative to survive, in order to keep fighting? The result is Ikkis, which tells the true story of a 21-year-old who secured the victory he wanted, and paid for it with his life. It is a war film that isn't centred on a villain, doesn't seek to promote hate. That puts India, and its heroes, first
