Amid Tension In Gwalior, A Cop-Lawyer Face-Off With "Jai Shri Ram" Slogans

"Jai Shri Ram, Jai Shri Ram" -- the chant rang out loud in the heart of Gwalior this evening, as a heated confrontation unfolded between a police officer and a lawyer amid prohibitory orders and tightened security across the city.

Amid Tension In Gwalior, A Cop-Lawyer Face-Off With "Jai Shri Ram" Slogans

"Jai Shri Ram, Jai Shri Ram" -- the chant rang out loud in the heart of Gwalior this evening, as a heated confrontation unfolded between a police officer and a lawyer amid prohibitory orders and tightened security across the city. What started as a dispute over enforcing prohibitory orders, quickly turned into a dramatic face-off between senior police officer Hina Khan and advocate Anil Mishra. Both sides chanted of "Jai Shri Ram" before a stunned crowd.

The atmosphere in Gwalior has been tense over the installation of a statue of BR Ambedkar at the Madhya Pradesh High Court premises. Though the Dalits have called off their protest march planned for October 15, a security blanket has been firmly spread over the city in view of earlier instances of caste conflict.

According to eyewitnesses, advocate Mishra, former president of the lawyers' association, arrived with his supporters to recite Ramayan's Sundar Kand near Phoolbagh on Monday evening. 

Hina Khan stopped the gathering, citing the ongoing prohibitory orders. Angry, Mishra accused her of being "against Sanatan Dharma" and began chanting "Jai Shri Ram".

To everyone's surprise, DSP Hina Khan walked up to Mishra, looked him in the eye, and began chanting "Jai Shri Ram" too.

Eyewitnesses say the officer then calmly asked, "What else?" before turning back to manage the crowd. 

The encounter became a talking point in the city. 

The clash comes as Gwalior remains on high alert over the Ambedkar statue issue. More than 4,000 police personnel have been deployed across the city, and Section 163 is in force, prohibiting any public gatherings.

The controversy had taken a casteist turn and escalated after Anil Mishra made derogatory remarks about BR Ambedkar in a viral video, calling him "a slave-agent of the British and a liar." The remarks triggered outrage across the Gwalior-Chambal region, leading to multiple police cases.

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...
