The incident, captured on video, highlights a serious lapse in courtroom decorum. Both the judiciary and members of the Bar are entrusted with upholding the dignity, discipline, and sanctity of the judicial institution, making such conduct deeply concerning.

While hearing a case related to senior advocate designation, the CJI had compared some unemployed youngsters to “cockroaches” and called them “parasites” who turn into social media activists, RTI activists, and critics of institutions.

The comments had received widespread criticism from lawyers, opposition parties, and social media users who termed the language harsh and insensitive amid rising youth unemployment concerns in the country.

Today CJI Surya Kant clarified that his “cockroach” remark was misrepresented by sections of the media.
According to the clarification, the observation was aimed at individuals allegedly misusing legal processes and fake degree holders — not unemployed youth. The CJI also stated that he has full respect for the youth of the country.
The controversy has sparked a nationwide debate on media reporting, courtroom observations, and responsible interpretation of judicial remarks.

The police have maintained a tight silence. Advocate Nauman Ghanchi, who represents the accused, told Mirror that police picked up five individuals in connection with a suspected cow slaughter case. “Two of them were Sajid Qureshi and Raees Shaikh, a father of two small children from Fatehwadi in Sarkhej. They were first taken to the spot where the alleged material was recovered and then brought to Sonal Cinema,” he said.

Accused tied to bonnet, beaten in public view

“Two police personnel held Raees Shaikh’s hands to the bonnet of a police vehicle, clearly visible in the video and thrashed him mercilessly. These men were only suspects.

The main accused had already fled the spot when the alleged cow progeny remains were seized,” Ghanchi alleged. Sajid Qureshi was also beaten, the lawyer said. “In another video, a police personnel can be heard saying, ‘Now do you remember anything or not,’ while assaulting him. Sajid is now living a peaceful life, but the trauma remains,” he added.

The accused were formally arrested only on Tuesday morning and produced in court. “They were threatened not to speak about the thrashing before the court,” Ghanchi alleged. “The police have threatened the families that if they file any complaint, their children will be implicated in other cases and they will face serious consequences,” he said.

Family members of Sajid Qureshi and Raees Shaikh are reportedly living in fear following the incident.

“Beating and flogging suspects in public can never be justified. One of the police personnel seen in the video already faces a pending inquiry in an alleged custodial death case. We urge police to take strict action against those involved,” Ghanchi said.

A Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) worker was allegedly shot and injured by a fellow member in the Mehndiganj area under Bazarkhala police station limits on Saturday night, police said.

The injured, identified as 35‑year‑old Shyam Chetan Tiwari, a resident of Mehndiganj who runs a photography studio in the Bazarkhala area, sustained a gunshot injury near the hip joint. He was rushed to the Trauma Centre, where he is undergoing treatment.

Deputy commissioner of police (west zone) Kamlesh Dixit said CCTV footage from the locality was examined, leading to the identification of the accused as 25‑year‑old Vaibhav Bajpai, also a resident of the same area and allegedly linked to the BJYM.

“Based on CCTV footage and local inputs, the accused has been detained and is being questioned to ascertain the motive,” the DCP said.

Police sources said preliminary findings suggest the incident stemmed from an ongoing dispute between the two men over the installation of political hoardings in the area. The firearm used in the incident was found to be illegal and has been seized, police added.

Following the incident, BJYM workers along with locals demanded strict action against the accused. A large police force was deployed in the area as a precautionary measure to maintain law and order and prevent any escalation.

A police officer in Secunderabad has been caught on camera slapping and caning a Zomato delivery executive who was out dropping off ice cream at 3 am, with the video of the incident now all over social media.

The incident happened on Thursday, May 7, in the Ramgopalpet Police Station area, where Station House Officer (SHO) B Suresh Kumar stopped Azam, who works for Scoops Ice Cream, during a late-night patrol.

The video, which has gone viral, shows the SHO slapping Azam and hitting him with a baton while questioning him. When asked about it, Kumar told to media that the delivery executive had responded “aggressively” when questioned, and that he slapped him “in the heat of the moment.”

The SHO also claimed Azam was not in uniform, but the video clearly shows him wearing one.

Azam has since been booked under Section 70(B) of the Hyderabad Police Act. The manager of Scoops Ice Cream was also booked for allowing operations during late-night hours.

The incident has drawn sharp criticism online, with many questioning why the delivery executive was charged at all given that it was the officer caught on camera assaulting him.

NEET collects around ₹300–350 crore annually from students, and NTA reportedly spends nearly the same amount to conduct the exam. Yet year after year, paper leaks continue 2018, 2019, 2021, 2024, now 2026

How many more times before this stops being called a “mistake” and starts being called what it is systemic failure?

Students are treated like suspects at exam centres. Strict checking, metal detectors, biometric scans, CCTV surveillance. But somehow the people inside the system the ones actually responsible keep escaping accountability.

We live in an era of AI, advanced encryption, digital surveillance, and real-time tracking. Countries send missions to space, banks handle billions securely online every second, but one national exam for students still cannot be conducted without leaks?

And what is the response from those in power? Statements. Committees. Silence. No real accountability.

The saddest part is that we are constantly distracted. Every week the country trends on religion, caste, outrage, Pakistan, or hashtags. “All Eyes on Palestine.” “All Eyes on Kolkata.” But when will we put our eyes on India’s education system? On healthcare? On corruption? On the systems deciding the future of millions of students?

If students lose faith in education and merit, the damage will last for generations.
