Special Commissioner  

Chief metropolitan magistrate Gurmohina has remanded Kapil Gujjar to two-day police custody for further interrogation. He had, on February 1, opened fire in the air at Shaheen Bagh, where protests opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) have been simmering for over 50 days now.
 

The team is expected to find out facts in the case where inspector Karamvir Malik had accused DCP Madhur Verma of slapped him for stopping his car. The fact-finding inquiry will establish truths in the case as cross-complaints were filed. 

An estimated half a million devotees throng Sabarimala every year for darshan on the auspicious day. In 2011, 104 devotees, who had come to witness the Makara Jyothi, were killed and over 40 devotees were injured when a jeep ploughed into the pilgrims at Pulmedu, Kerala. While some of the victims died on the spot after getting trapped under the wheels of the jeep, the accident created panic among the devotees, resulting in stampede.  
 

Considering a special report prepared by the Sabarimala special commissioner in this regard, the High Court directed the authorities to enforce the plastic ban in the temple and its premises from the coming season
