Teenage girl arrested over violent attack on 80-year-old
A TEENAGE girl has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting an 80-year-old man – leaving him with a bloodied nose and black eye – in a nasty Coventry city centre attack.
The 19-year-old was arrested at around 6.30pm today (August 16) after police traced her to an address in Gloucester.
She will be taken to a West Midlands Police station where she will be questioned about the attack in Trinity Street, Coventry, on Saturday evening (August 10) when the elderly victim was punched in the face and shoved to the ground.
A video of the attack – recorded by a passer-by on their mobile phone – had been circulated widely on social media throughout today and met with a wave of revulsion from viewers.
Coventry Police Chief Superintendent Andy Nicholson, said: “This was a despicable, violent attack on an elderly man in broad daylight. The victim is an 80-year-old man – he was left with a bloodied nose and a black eye.
“A video showing the assault spread rapidly on social media and quite rightly the offender’s actions are being condemned by everyone who’s viewed it.”
The attack, which appears unprovoked, happened at around 8.30pm on Saturday evening near Sainsbury’s in Coventry’s Trinity Street.
Police are still keen to hear from people who witnessed the incident and moments leading up to the attack – and have urged anyone who shared the video or still images of the assault to remove them from social media accounts as they could hinder the enquiry.
Anyone with information should contact West Midlands Police on the 101 number or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Communities clash, 31 injured
NEW DELHI: A clash between two communities in the Tilak Vihar area of west Delhi left many people injured on Thursday evening. While police claimed 19 people were injured, five of them cops,DDU Hospital put the number of injured at 31. Five locals were admitted with bullet wounds and one of them is reported critical with a shot to the abdomen. Three of the injured cops have head injuries from stones thrown by the rioters.
The two communities live close by within the Tilak Lane area. There are conflicting accounts of how the fight started but it soon spun out of control with both sides burning vehicles, damaging property and pelting stones. Sources said the violence lasted from 2pm to 7.30pm and was brought under control with heavy use of force, including 2,000 personnel from 11 police stations and around 50 tear gas shells. Police denied firing upon the rioters. "We did not fire any rounds at all and resorted to use of teargas only. We are probing how these shots were fired,'' said a senior officer at the police headquarters.
Locals said the violence started as a verbal spat between a biker and a passerby but it soon turned nasty after their supporters started pelting stones at each other. When police intervened, the fight became a full-scale riot in which about a dozen police and private vehicles were set on fire. Another group of witnesses said the fight snowballed from an argument between children flying kites on Independence Day. Police, however, said the fight started when members of one community pulled up three stunt bikers from the other.
Soon after the fight started, police along with paramilitary forces reached the spot and cordoned it off. Media persons and passersby were stopped 2km away to prevent a flare-up. The clashes peaked around 4.30pm, briefly forcing the cops to take cover from the shower of stones. Police then charged the mob with lathis and started lobbing tear gas shells. Reinforcements from specialized units—AATS, special staff and the reserve police—also arrived. A few rounds were fired in the air and then the rioters began to disperse. After two hours of extensive riot control measures, the situation was brought under control around 7.30pm.
Till 10.30pm, when TOI visited the spot, both groups were sloganeering against each other, across a human chain of policemen. The road near Tilak Vihar police post, the main scene of action, was covered in stones. Riot police and Vajra water canons have been deployed in the area.
Sunny Singh, who was admitted to DDU Hospital with gunshots, said: "I was hit by a bullet in the police firing when I was running to save myself. People were pelting stones". Mohar Singh and Raghunath were also admitted with bullet injuries. Other locals at the hospital also alleged that police opened fire.
Political leaders, including MP Mahabal Mishra, and police officers including special CP (law and order) Deepak Misra and joint CP Vivek Gogia reached the area late in the evening to establish peace. A high-level probe has been ordered. The local police's role will also be investigated. Gogia assured the locals that an investigation will be conducted into the incident, and urged people of both communities to not resort to violence.
A case under sections of rioting, illegal use of weapons and damaging public property has been registered at Tilak Nagar police station. The damaged vehicles include five bikes, a three-wheeler, a car, and police vehicles, including one used by additional commissioner (west) V Renganathan.

Clashes in Tilak Vihar leave 27 injured
Police resort to firing, use tear gas to bring the situation under control; four people suffer bullet injuries
Twenty-seven people, five of them policemen, were injured and over two dozen vehicles and a police post were damaged in clashes between two groups at Tilak Vihar in West Delhi on Thursday.
While different versions on what triggered the violence were doing the rounds, the dramatic sequence of events unfolded early in the afternoon. Following a violent clash between the two groups, the police resorted to firing and use of tear gas shells to bring the situation under control.
Eyewitnesses claimed that at least three persons were injured in police firing but the police denied these claims and said the bullets were fired in the air and not a single shot hit any person.
The clashing groups comprised of residents from two different localities in Tilak Vihar. Both these groups — Sikhs and residents of Harijan Colony — live a few hundred metres apart. The police post which was damaged by the angry mob is located in between the two localities. Some policemen said clashes in the area were frequent but before Thursday they were sporadic in nature and had never snowballed into something so big.
Charan Singh, a resident of A block in Tilak Nagar, said it was around 3 p.m. that two boys from their area had gone to the neighbouring Harijan Colony on a motorcycle where they had an argument with a group of people over rash driving. The argument soon turned ugly and both were assaulted.
“When they returned, they told us about the incident and some of us went to the Harijan Colony where a mob threw stones at us and we responded by pelting stones in the same manner,” said another A block resident.
Tilak Vihar Harijan Colony Residents’ Welfare Association president Satyanarayan Dulgach had a similar take on what triggered the incident. “The problem started when boys from the Sikh community started performing dangerous stunts on their motorcycle on the colony streets. Despite being warned against indulging in this sport on a crowded street, the boys did not pay heed and a heated argument ensued which eventually led to members from both communities getting involved. Later matters went from bad to worse.”
Admitting that members of both communities pelted stones at each other, he said the police had to resort to lathi-charge, use of tear gas and firing to control the crowd.
“The mob has damaged two of my cars, besides setting fire to vehicles of the police and area residents. The police post has also been hit and the members of the Sikh community also pelted stones and beat up on-duty police personnel,” said Mr. Dulgach.
According to the police, when personnel of the Tilak Vihar Police Post tried to bring the situation under control, they were attacked with stones, bricks and glass bottles by members of both sides. From the sign board to documents and furniture, everything lay shattered at the police post, bearing testimony to the scale of violence witnessed there. At least two Police Control Room vans were also damaged and several two-wheelers also bore the brunt of mob fury.
Soon, reinforcements, including additional force and water canons, were called in and the police used tear gas to disperse the agitated crowd. The situation was brought under control around 8 p.m. but an uneasiness remained.
Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital medical superintendent Dr. Savita Babbar said: “Twenty-seven people were brought to the hospital from the Tilak Vihar area. Of them, four had sustained bullet injuries and are admitted at the hospital. One of them is critical after having sustained bullet injuries in the abdomen. He has been operated upon and is under observation. Most of the others have been discharged after first-aid.”
Paramjit Singh Sarna, former Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee president, who visited Tilak Vihar, denied that the clash had anything to do with rash driving.
“Four members of the Sikh community have been seriously injured, including one child, in the fight between the two communities. The community people have told me that the fight started after children from both the sides started fighting over kites. The parents got involved when one Sikh boy was badly beaten up. Members from both the communities threw stones at each other and destroyed police vehicles,” he said.
“At the moment, the two communities have been cordoned-off and the police are not allowing the members to cross the streets to avoid the situation from further escalating. Tempers are running high and people are annoyed with what they claim to be over-aggressive police action. This is the fourth such incident in the area,” said Mr. Sarna, who is also the president of Shiromani Akali Dal (Delhi).

'Sikhs India's biggest spenders, Muslims the smallest'
Sikh households are the country's biggest spenders on average, and Muslim households on average the smallest, shows government data compiled for the period July 2009 to June 2010.
Sikh households spent on average about 1.7 times the expenditure by Muslim households, according to the list of major religious groups arranged by average monthly per capita household consumer expenditure (MPCE).
Household expenditure serves as a proxy for income, and is usually taken to reflect standards of living.
According to data from the National Sample Survey Office's (NSSO's) eighth quinquennial survey on employment and Sikhs India's biggest spenders, Muslims the smallest unemployment during the 12 months to June 2010, at the all-India level, the average MPCE of Sikh households was Rs 1,659, while that of Muslim households was only Rs 980.
Spending by Christian households was marginally lower than by Sikh households. Spending by Hindu households was about 27 per cent less than that by Christian households.
The 'Others' category, which includes Jain and Zoroastrian households, was third from the top, recording spending that was marginally lower than that by Christian households but sharply higher than Hindu and Muslim households.
The survey, conducted in the 66th round of the national sample survey, was spread over 7,402 villages and 5,252 urban blocks covering 1,00,957 households and 4.59 lakh persons. Consumption expenditure data was collected in a separate abbreviated worksheet which was integrated with the employment and unemployment schedule.
The data shows that Muslims continue to be the most backward community in economic terms in India.

Sikh boy first saw father at dad’s funeral after U.S. temple shooting
OAK CREEK, Wis. – Gurvinder Singh approached his father’s open coffin with one thought: “Please, god, it’s not my dad.”
As he stepped closer, he realized the man was indeed the father he knew only from photographs. The 14-year-old stood numbly, not crying until officials wheeled the coffin toward a hearse. Then the teenager collapsed in tears, inconsolable, telling his mother he wanted to die in the same flames that would cremate his father.
Ranjit Singh left his family behind in India in 1997, to work as a priest at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin. He always planned to visit Gurvinder, his only son, whom he last saw as a seven-month-old. But last August, two months before the father was to go home for the first time in nearly 14 years, Singh and five others were fatally shot by a white supremacist at the temple. The gunman’s motive still eludes police.
With the anniversary of that day approaching, Gurvinder recently sat in the same temple, down the hallway from where his father was killed, and recounted the few memories he has of the man he knew only from daily but brief phone calls.
“I’ve never seen my dad. I just saw him dead,” Gurvinder said softly, shaking his head. “Whenever I look at someone’s dad holding him I can’t see that. It’s hard to see.”

Save rights of Kutch farmers who migrated from Punjab, DSGMC president Manjit Singh GK
Manjit Singh GK Appeal to Gujarat CM Narendra Modi to restore rights of farmers who contributed to turn Kutch area into prosperous cotton belt
New Delhi: President of Shiromani Akali Dal Delhi State Manjit Singh GK on today demanded from Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi not to oust over 5000 families indulging in farming for past three generations since mid-1960s in Naliya tehsil of Kutch area of Gujarat.
“He is aspiring for the post of prime ministership and there should be the efforts to unite people and make their living peaceful and easy wherever they are living in the country,” Manjit Singh GK appealed to Modi addressing a press conference.
In 2010 the local authorities of Kutch-Bhuj area freezed land of the farmers who migrated from Punjab in 1960s and most of them Sikhs, by terming them par-pravasi(outsiders) quoting provisions of Bombay-Vidharbha Tenancy Act of 1960.
“It is shocking that the Gujarat government, despite having lost the case in the High Court of Gujarat have moved Supreme Court filing an appeal. I want to convey to Narendra Modi to ask his officers not to pursue the case in Supreme Court case against the hardworking farmers,” further said Manjit Singh Gk whom the farmers’ families met last week.
DSGMC General Secretary of DSGMC Manjinder Singh Sirsa who also accompanied Manjit Singh GK in the press conference asked Narendra Modi to be a statesman, especially when BJP is looking towards him to lead the country as prime minister after forthcoming parliament elections.
“On April 4, 1973 revenue department of Gujarat government issued a notification that farmer’s from outside can’t buy land in Gujarat. But these farmers’ families of Naliya Tehsil had bought land much before the notification,” adds Sirsa further pointing that the farmers have purchased land through sale deeds and have genuine ownership rights, which can’t be denied by any law of the land. “They are Gujaratis now, and the state government can’t deny them rights,” further added Sirsa.
Further speaking on the occasion Manjit Singh GK said that Narendra Modi is a senior and seasoned leader and he should see all the people in country as one, and should not let the officials of his state differentiate and discriminate between two persons with different originality.
“These farmers have contributed a lot for Gujarat, with their sheer hard work have turned the barren land into a fertile soil and a have acted as catalyst to make the region as cotton hub by growing best quality cotton,” said Manjit Singh adding that it was on the insistence of then prime minister Lal Bahadur Shashtri who wanted Punjabis to settle here and make borders along Pakistan habitable, farmers from Amritsar, Bathinda, Ferozpur, Faridkot and Hisar migrated to Kutch.
Pertinently the case is listed in Supreme Court on August 27 later this month. Assuring all help to the Gujarat farmers, Manjit Singh Gk said that incase the farmers don’t get respite from the Gujarat government they would get justice in the Supreme Court as a bench of High Court in Gujarat have given judgement in favour of farmers.
