Agra/Firozabad, Jun 27: In a shocking display of class prejudice, villagers in martyred constable Vir Singh's village in Nagla Kewal in Shikohabad, Firozabad district refused to allow public land to be used for the cremation.

Vir Singh was one of the eight CRPF jawans killed in the militant attack in Pampore, Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday.

Gram Pradhan, Vijay Singh of Kanthari Gram Panchayat said: "In the morning, the local villagers had raised objections over martyred soldier's family's demand to cremate his body on public land and then erect a statue of him.

But later, after long hours of talk with SDM, the villagers agreed to respect the family demand." Even after that, only a 10*10 metre land was given for the funeral.

Vir Singh's family is obviously shocked with this apathy, where caste considerations eclipsed respect towards a slain jawan.

Vir Singh was the sole bread earner of his family and had joined the CRPF in 1981. His family stays in a one room home with a tin shed as a roof and he has three children who are still studying.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.
