London School Horror: 13-Year-Old Stabs Two Boys In North London School, Reportedly Shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’; Counter-Terror Police Take Over Probe

A shocking double stabbing inside a North London school has triggered a counter-terror investigation after a 13-year-old suspect allegedly shouted “Allahu Akbar” while attacking two fellow students, leaving both victims seriously injured.

The incident took place at Kingsbury High School in Brent, where the accused, identified as a former pupil, is believed to have used his old school uniform to re-enter the premises undetected.

According to police and witness accounts, the suspect entered the school around 12:40 PM on Tuesday, 10 February 2026, allegedly armed with a knife and pepper spray.

Horrified students said the boy sprayed a teacher with the chemical agent during a science lesson before launching the knife attack.

One victim, a 12-year-old boy, was allegedly stabbed in the neck after attempting to pull a fire alarm to alert others.

A second victim, aged 13, was stabbed in the midriff in what investigators believe may have been a targeted assault.

Both boys were rushed to hospital in serious condition, with ambulance authorities later confirming that at one stage their injuries were considered life-threatening. One of the victims was taken to a major trauma centre as a priority.

Sources and student accounts suggested the attacker had been excluded from the school weeks earlier following a fight with the older victim, a Year 8 pupil.

Witnesses alleged he returned to the school to confront the boy he had previously clashed with.

One student recounted that the attacker entered wearing his old Kingsbury High School uniform and was not initially suspected by teachers. He allegedly pepper-sprayed a teacher before stabbing the intended target.

The same witness said the 12-year-old victim was attacked after he tried to raise the alarm and was chased and stabbed in the neck while fleeing.

Students described scenes of chaos and panic.

One girl posted on TikTok that she saw blood across the classroom floor and initially thought it was paint from an art or science project until she saw a boy clutching his bleeding neck.

Another student said there was screaming, crying, and large amounts of blood, adding that pupils who witnessed the incident were terrified. He said the entire school was held outside for hours in freezing conditions following the lockdown.

Parents also described the trauma. One father said children were deeply shaken after witnessing the attack unfold in front of them.

A local resident said she heard children sobbing as they left the school, recalling one boy telling his mother the stabbing had been to the neck.

A 13-year-old suspect was later arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Officers also recovered the weapon believed to have been used in the attack.

Detective Superintendent Luke Williams of the Metropolitan Police said officers responded within 13 minutes of the emergency call.

He confirmed both victims were hospitalised and that police were not currently seeking any additional suspects.

Due to surrounding circumstances, including alleged slogans shouted during the attack, the investigation is now being led by Counter Terrorism Policing London.

However, police stressed that the incident has not yet been formally declared a terrorist attack and that investigators are keeping an open mind regarding motive.

Williams said the probe was fast-moving and aimed at establishing the full circumstances as quickly as possible, adding that officers would remain in the area to reassure the community.

Kingsbury High School was placed on lockdown following the incident, with no one allowed to enter or leave while investigations were carried out. Students from the lower school were held in the playground at police request while enquiries were conducted.

After Giving Hindus Deepavali Pollution Lectures, AAP Leader’s Son Arpit Sharma, Who Was Booked For Sedition, Bursts Firecrackers At Own Wedding

After Giving Hindus Deepavali Pollution Lectures, AAP Leader's Son Arpit Sharma, Who Was Booked For Sedition, Bursts Firecrackers At Own Wedding

Content creator Arpit Sharma known for his pro-leftist online commentary, also the son of an AAP politician Vikas Sharma, is in the news once again.

The last time he was in the news for the sedition case filed against him for reportedly ‘praising‘ the violent protests in Nepal and urging Indian youth to follow their example.

His recent posts about his wedding have come under the spotlight and netizens are contrasting them with the posts he made ridiculing Hindus.

Sharma, who previously ‘advised’ Hindus to not burst crackers for Deepavali, has himself had crackers burst during his wedding.

Posts circulating on social media claimed that “massive firecrackers” were burst at the venue, leading to “extreme pollution,” loud music late into the night, and garbage accumulation. One user, claiming to live near the wedding venue, alleged that the celebrations caused difficulty in breathing and that “basic cleanliness was not maintained.”

Sharma’s past posts were widely shared. In one earlier post, he had commented on Diwali firecrackers, writing in Hindi that fireworks should not be burst but lamps must be “lit doubly”. They contrasted this with the showed celebratory imagery from his wedding captioned, “It didn’t happen… it just flowed.”

This is a perfect example of “selective environmentalism” and “elite hypocrisy,” where pollution concerns are amplified during Hindu festivals but overlooked during private celebrations.

Islamo-Leftist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Breaks Age-Old Tradition, Skips NYC Archbishop Installation Ceremony

Islamo-Leftist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Breaks Age-Old Tradition, Snubs NYC Archbishop Installation Ceremony

Islamo-leftist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has drawn criticism after skipping the installation ceremony of Archbishop Ronald Hicks, becoming the first city mayor in nearly a century, and possibly ever, to miss the event.

Ronald Hicks, 58, was installed on Friday, 6 February 2026, as the 11th Archbishop of the New York Archdiocese since 1850, formally assuming leadership from Cardinal Timothy Dolan during a ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cathedral attended by a large gathering and marked by longstanding religious traditions.

Attendance by the sitting New York City mayor has historically been considered customary. The tradition dates back at least to 1939, when then-Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia attended the installation of Cardinal Francis Spellman. Successive mayors across faiths have continued the practice over decades.

Mamdani did not attend the ceremony. Instead, he marked the occasion through a post on X.

“Congratulations to Archbishop Ronald Hicks on today’s installment and welcome to New York City,” Mamdani wrote on 6 February 2026. “I know that Archbishop Hicks and I share a deep and abiding commitment to the dignity of every human being and look forward to working together to create a more just and compassionate city where every New Yorker can thrive.”

City Hall initially did not respond to multiple press queries regarding the mayor’s absence. After reports were published, a spokesperson said Mamdani had a scheduling conflict and had deputed one of his deputy mayors, who is Catholic, to attend on behalf of the administration. The spokesperson also said the mayor and the archbishop were expected to speak subsequently.

The explanation has done little to quell criticism.

New York’s Catholic League said Mamdani, barely weeks into office, was already signaling that Catholics were not welcome. The group noted that the mayor had been invited but did not attend, adding that the installation took place just hours after an interfaith prayer breakfast, which Mamdani did attend, and that St. Patrick’s Cathedral was a short distance away.

It is noteworthy that Mamdani’s public messaging in the same week, included a post marking World Hijab Day and remarks referencing Islamic teachings at the interfaith breakfast.

His absence from a major Catholic ceremony reflected selective engagement with religious communities.

This move is seen as a symbolic misstep in a city where Catholics form a major voting and cultural bloc.

Bill Cunningham, former communications director and senior adviser to ex-Mayor Michael Bloomberg, described the absence as a mistake, saying it represented a missed opportunity for Mamdani to signal that he intended to serve all communities. He added that institutions like the Catholic Church carried historic civic weight and that Catholics paid close attention to how their institutions were treated.

Historically, mayoral attendance at archbishop installations has transcended personal belief. Bloomberg, who is Jewish, attended installations during his tenure, as did former Mayor Ed Koch. Koch was present at Cardinal John O’Connor’s installation in 1984, while Catholic Mayor Rudy Giuliani attended Cardinal Edward Egan’s installation in 2000.

Ken Frydman, a spokesman for Giuliani’s 1993 campaign, criticised Mamdani’s absence, suggesting it reflected a broader pattern of disregard toward religious constituencies, including Catholic New Yorkers.

The New York Archdiocese, spanning Manhattan, the Bronx, Staten Island and several northern counties, serves an estimated 2.5 million Catholics, making it one of the largest Catholic populations in the United States.

DMK-Congress Rift Widens: “Power Sharing Not Suitable For TN”, Says MK Stalin, TNCC Pres Selvaperunthagai Says, “It Is His Opinion”

"Power Sharing Not Suitable For TN", Says MK Stalin, TNCC Pres Selvaperunthagai Says, "It Is His Opinion"

With only a short time left for the announcement of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, political activity across parties has intensified, with alliances, seat-sharing talks, and campaign strategies gathering pace.

While the DMK-led alliance is working to retain power, the AIADMK-BJP combine has stepped up efforts to capture it. The electoral field is also witnessing the presence of Naam Tamilar Katchi and TVK, creating what is being seen as a four-cornered contest.

Within the DMK alliance, however, signs of strain have emerged involving the Congress party. Some Congress functionaries have reportedly shown interest in exploring alliance possibilities with TVK, even as senior leaders such as Praveen Chakravarthy and Manickam Tagore have articulated views critical of the DMK.

Congress Raises Alliance Concerns

A high-level Congress meeting was held in Delhi to deliberate on the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. Following the meeting, Congress leaders expressed dissatisfaction that the DMK had not yet constituted its alliance negotiation committee.

Tamil Nadu Congress in-charge K Raju (Chris Sodankar) reportedly conveyed displeasure, stating that the Congress had formed its negotiation committee nearly 70 days ago. Tamil Nadu Congress Committee President K. Selvaperunthagai, who had until recently maintained a conciliatory tone toward the DMK, also publicly shifted his stance.

He said delays by the DMK in initiating alliance talks could create unnecessary confusion, adding that party workers were disappointed. He urged the DMK to constitute its negotiation committee at the earliest and indicated that the Congress would strongly press its demand for a share in governance before the Chief Minister.

Stalin’s Response

Amid the growing buzz, Chief Minister and DMK president MK Stalin announced that alliance talks with friendly parties would be held on 22 February 2026.

Subsequently, speaking at an India Today event, Stalin asserted that the DMK-Congress alliance remained harmonious but firmly ruled out any power-sharing arrangement, stating that sharing governance was not suitable for Tamil Nadu. He said, “The DMK-Congress alliance is strong in Tamil Nadu. Will fight the election together. Power sharing is not suitable for TN. The question of sharing of power in government does not arise now.”

His remarks were widely interpreted as a rejection of the Congress party’s demand for a role in government.

Congress Reaction

Responding to Stalin’s comments, TNCC chief Selvaperunthagai sought to downplay tensions, stating that everyone was entitled to their own views and that the Chief Minister had expressed his opinion. He said decisions on what would benefit both the alliance and the people would be taken jointly by the leadership of the two parties.

He maintained that the DMK-Congress alliance remained strong and that no issues would arise within it.

Selvaperunthagai said in an interview with Puthiya Thalaimurai, “That is the hon’ble chief minister’s opinion, his party’s opinion. He has spoken about the situation in TN. We do not have a difference of opinion on that. Each party has its opinion. Each party has its expectations. Saying those expectations out loud is democracy. Based on that different leaders have made different statements. To accept it or not is in the hands of the Congress high command and the hon’ble chief minister. Everyone is waiting for an obstacle to come out of this. Nothing like that will happen. The I.N.D.I alliance is a strong alliance. TN CM Stalin is heading this alliance. All the leaders – Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, DMK chief TN CM Stalin, LoP Rahul Gandhi will take a good decision, a decision to protect the country and the soil of TN. There will be no problems.” 

However, political observers noted that Selvaperunthagai’s earlier remarks at a press meet, seen as pressure on the DMK, had triggered controversy, and that his latest response marked a return to a more conciliatory tone after Stalin’s firm rebuttal.

Developments within the alliance are also said to have drawn attention at the Congress high command level in Delhi, where the evolving situation has reportedly caused concern.

“Worked 4.5 Years To Stall Construction”, BJP Leader Annamalai Accuses MK Stalin Of Delaying AIIMS Madurai

By
The Commune

annamalai stalin bjp dmk aiims

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on 31 January 2026, inaugurated and laid foundation stones for a series of development projects in Sivaganga district and distributed welfare assistance to thousands of beneficiaries.

Addressing a public gathering, the Chief Minister inaugurated 49 completed projects worth ₹2,555 crore and laid foundation stones for 28 new projects, including drinking water schemes and infrastructure works. He stated that the State government had completed major institutions such as a law college and an agricultural university within four years, while the AIIMS Madurai project promised by the Union government had remained pending for 11 years.

Responding to media queries on the delay in AIIMS construction, Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai addressed a press meet and countered the Chief Minister’s remarks.

Speaking to reporters, Annamalai said, “No brother, we’ve told you everything clearly. Not just 11 medical colleges, Tamil Nadu is the state which has the highest number of government medical colleges in India. Everyone knows that. No state has been given 11 in one shot. That too is Tamil Nadu. As far as AIIMS is concerned, as you all can see work is going on. It is not fully functional yet, it will happen soon, you are witness to that as well. But did our Chief Minister, MK Stalin, bother to visit and review the progress of the AIIMS project, which has been sanctioned for our state at a cost of several crores? Is Madurai not under MK Stalin’s governance? Is it a separate zone? Does Madurai not come under Tamil Nadu? He goes to Madurai several times, he could have gone to the AIIMS construction site and enquired with the staff there about the progress. If there was a delay, he could have called up the authorities and enquired about it. How many times in these past 5 years has TN CM Stalin gone to Madurai? Has he gone near the AIIMS?”

He continued, “So as far as CM Stalin is concerned, he has been working for the past 4.5 years to ensure that AIIMS is not built. They did not give the license to cut the trees for the construction. It took 1.5 years to cut the trees. There was a delay in acquiring land. They delayed every single part of the process – right from the Panchayat level to all the TN authorities. But beyond that, AIIMS is going to be complete. They said they don’t want AIIMS, it has not been built, it is easy to say so. But with 0% cooperation of the state government, today the BJP government at the centre, despite not having a friendly government in the state, has reached this level. So if the CM wants to criticize AIIMS, we will accept it after he goes there and sees for himself the progress. But for someone who has never gone that side, the one who only speaks on the microphone in the Assembly and the stage, has been a chief minister who has had no concern, an indifferent person. AIIMS will be functional soon for the benefit of the people.”

‘Against Conscience, Vastu Grounds No Justification To Raze Ancient Mandapam’: Madras High Court Slams HR&CE Move To Demolish Kanchipuram Temple Hall

Madras High Court Fines HR&CE Commissioner ₹50,000 For Failing To File Oversight Report Of Temple-Run Schools kanchipuram

The Madras High Court has observed that the demolition of an ancient mandapam at the Subramaniya Swamy Temple in Kanchipuram on the ground that it was not constructed as per Vastu principles was “against conscience.”

The temple is located on Krishnan Street in Pillaiyarpalayam, Kanchipuram district, where renovation works are currently under way. Residents of the same locality, Vasantha and Shanmugavel, approached the Madras High Court alleging that the renovation activities had blocked access to their residence. In their petition, they sought an injunction restraining the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department from constructing the temple’s compound wall close to their property.

The matter came up for hearing before Justice D Bharatha Chakravarthy.

During the hearing, the HR&CE Department submitted that the petitioners had encroached upon the road. It further informed the court that the mandapam within the temple premises was structurally improper and not in accordance with Vastu norms, and that demolition and reconstruction were being undertaken as part of renovation works.

Temple authorities also placed original photographs of the structure before the court and submitted that permission for demolition had been secured from the heritage committee after filing a report stating that the mandapam was irregular and not compliant with Vastu principles, and that reconstruction would be undertaken using the same structural stone.

After examining photographs of the temple taken prior to demolition, the court observed that the mandapam appeared ancient and structurally proper. Justice Chakravarthy remarked, “On perusal of the photographs produced by the temple authorities, the demolition simply seems to be unconscionable and, to the naked eye, the mandapam seems perfect.”

Referring to the original construction, the judge further noted, “On perusal of the original photograph of the temple, it can be seen that it is an ancient stone-built mandapam which was there on the front side of the temple. It will be extremely difficult to find even workmanship to recreate the mandapam in the same manner.”

The court said that terming the long-standing structure as non-compliant with Vastu Shastra and irregular, and proceeding with demolition on that basis, was against conscience. It also observed that once demolished, it would not be possible to recreate the ancient mandapam in its original form.

The judge directed the HR&CE Department to file a detailed report on the renovation works, including an explanation of the basis on which it concluded that the mandapam was not constructed as per Vastu principles. The department was also directed to submit information on when the temple was originally constructed.

Until such reports are filed, the court ordered that no further renovation or reconstruction work should be carried out at the temple.

The case has been adjourned to the 13 February 2026 for further hearing.

226 Acres Retrieved: Madras High Court Records Massive Thiruporur Murugan Temple Land Recovery

226 Acres Retrieved: Madras High Court Records Massive Thiruporur Murugan Temple Land Recovery

The Madras High Court has recorded the recovery of large extents of encroached temple land belonging to the Arulmighu Kandasamy Murugan Temple at Thiruporur, with authorities reporting repossession of agricultural lands worth an estimated ₹700 crore following court-monitored action.

The development emerged during the hearing of Contempt Petition No. 1334 of 2022 in Writ Petition No. 11824 of 2020, titled B Jagannath vs Commissioner, listed before the Division Bench led by the Chief Justice.

Advocate B. Jagannath, the petitioner and party-in-person, appeared before the court. HR&CE Commissioner Sridhar appeared in person along with Kumaravel, Executive Officer of the Arulmighu Kandasamy Murugan Temple, Thiruporur. The respondents were represented by Special Government Pleader NRR Arun Natrajan, led by Additional Advocate General J Ravindran.

During the hearing, status reports filed by the Executive Officers of both the Thiruporur Kandasamy Murugan Temple and Alavandar Charities were placed on record.

According to the Thiruporur temple’s status report, a major encroachment eviction drive was undertaken on 7 February 2026, 2026, covering lands measuring approximately 226 acres, in addition to an earlier identified 30 acres. The report stated that agricultural lands worth more than ₹700 crore had been recovered from hundreds of encroachers and that full possession now vests with the Thiruporur Murugan Temple.

The report further detailed that the eviction exercise faced significant law-and-order challenges. It stated that groups of encroachers, allegedly aided by members linked to the Communist Party of India, including a former MLA, engaged in arson, sloganeering, poster campaigns, and acts of violence targeting temple executive officials and police personnel. Authorities reported incidents of heckling, dharna protests, and damage to property during the removal operations.

Despite these disruptions, officials stated that the eviction was completed and the encroached lands were secured under temple control.

The recovery has been described in the status report as one of the largest encroachment removal drives undertaken by the HR&CE Department in recent times. The department also submitted an undertaking before the court stating that any remaining encroachments would be cleared, noting that the process of issuing notices under Section 78 of the HR&CE Act to encroachers had been completed.

A separate status report concerning Alavandar Charities indicated that about 18 acres of encroached land, valued at several crores of rupees, had also been recovered.

Recording the submissions, the Division Bench stated that it was satisfied with the actions taken by the respondents regarding encroachment removal and ordered closure of the long-pending contempt proceedings.

In a connected development, Sub-Application No. 120 of 2026 was filed by certain encroachers seeking impleadment in the contempt proceedings. The court held that a sub-application for impleadment in contempt proceedings was not maintainable and accordingly closed the application.

Background

The litigation originated from a petition filed by Chennai-based advocate B Jagannath alleging large-scale encroachments on lands belonging to the Thiruporur Kandaswamy Temple.

On 29 January 2026, when temple authorities attempted to install warning boards marking the properties as temple land, more than 300 farmers gathered at the site and staged a blockade protest. Following negotiations, time was granted until February 6.

Farmers subsequently moved the Madras High Court on 3 February 2026, and the petition was admitted for hearing on 5 February 2026.

While the matter was pending, around 300 persons assembled near the Thiruporur roundabout demanding that the temple administration refrain from taking possession of the land until further court orders.

Police denied permission for the protest, after which a petition was submitted to Thiruporur Tahsildar Saravanan, who assured that the matter would be conveyed to the district administration.

Significantly a Dargah was also found to be under encroachment in Alavandar charities land against whom 78 proceedings have been also initiated.

Amid court directions requiring submission of a status report by 10 February 2026, temple authorities proceeded to install notification boards under police protection across disputed parcels. Notices were erected at more than 19 locations, and officials reported that a total of 221.37 acres had been taken possession of by the temple administration as part of the recovery exercise.

BJP Mahila Morcha members raised the question of whether Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, who had earlier spoken about “eradicating Sanatan Dharma”, was prepared to contest from Thirupparankundram in the upcoming Assembly elections.

A protest condemning the DMK government for failing to ensure women’s safety was held at Thirunagar under the banner of the Integrated Madurai District BJP Mahila Morcha. West District President Kala presided over the demonstration. District General Secretary Latha, Observer Inbarani, and Usilampatti General Secretary Dharanika were present in leadership roles.

State Vice-President Leelavathi, West District President Sivalingam, City President Mari, Constituency Organiser Rakkappan, and Mandal President Velmurugan addressed the gathering. Party functionaries Gopalakrishnan, Ilaiyaraja, Saravanan, and Solai Manikandan participated.

Speakers criticised DMK MP Kanimozhi, stating that she failed to acknowledge the sufferings of the people of Tamil Nadu while raising her voice over issues in BJP-ruled states. They alleged that the law-and-order situation in Tamil Nadu had deteriorated and that women, from three-year-old children to elderly women, were unable to step out and return home safely.

They further alleged that ganja and narcotic drug sales had increased across the state.

India To Host Historic Triple Maritime Summit In Feb 2026 At Visakhapatnam

India To Host Historic Triple Maritime Summit In Feb 2026 At Visakhapatnam

India is set to host an unprecedented convergence of three major international maritime engagements in February 2026 at Visakhapatnam, the International Fleet Review (IFR) 2026, multilateral naval exercise MILAN 2026, and the Indian Ocean Naval Symposium (IONS) Conclave of Chiefs, marking the first time the country will conduct all three flagship events simultaneously.

Scheduled from 15-25 February 2026, the mega maritime gathering is being positioned as a major operational milestone in advancing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s MAHASAGAR vision, Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions, unveiled in 2025.

The MAHASAGAR framework expands India’s earlier SAGAR doctrine (Security and Growth for All in the Region) beyond the Indian Ocean to wider geographies, with an emphasis on sustainability, resilience, and shared responsibility in managing global maritime commons. Officials said the February convergence represents a tangible manifestation of this strategic outlook and underscores India’s aspiration to function as a “Preferred Security Partner” to partner nations.

Global naval participation has been solicited, with invitations extended to fleets worldwide to assemble at Visakhapatnam, home to India’s Eastern Naval Command and regarded as the country’s eastern maritime gateway. The event is also aligned with broader strategic frameworks including the Act East Policy, the Indo-Pacific Oceans Initiative (IPOI), and ongoing IONS cooperation mechanisms, reinforcing India’s commitment to free, open, and inclusive seas.

A key highlight will be the Presidential Fleet Review conducted at sea, to be reviewed by the President of India. The review will showcase India’s indigenous naval shipbuilding capabilities, featuring frontline platforms such as INS Vikrant, the country’s first indigenously built aircraft carrier, alongside Visakhapatnam-class destroyers, Nilgiri-class stealth frigates, and Arnala-class anti-submarine warfare corvettes. The display will also include participation from foreign naval vessels, Indian Coast Guard ships, and merchant marine assets, reflecting India’s evolution into what officials describe as a “Builder’s Navy.”

Exercise MILAN 2026 will include both Harbour and Sea Phases designed to deepen operational interoperability among participating navies. Focus areas will include maritime domain awareness, anti-submarine warfare, air defence coordination, and search-and-rescue operations. The exercise aims to enhance collective preparedness and foster practical cooperation across regional and extra-regional fleets.

As part of public outreach and maritime diplomacy, an International City Parade will be conducted along Visakhapatnam’s RK Beach. Marching contingents will include personnel from visiting navies as well as the Indian Navy, Indian Army, and Indian Air Force, bringing the multinational military presence directly into the civic space.

Soros Lackey Ravi Nair Convicted In Criminal Defamation Case Against Adani Enterprises; Fined And Sentenced To One Year Jail

soros ravi nair adani

Ravi Nair, the self-proclaimed “independent investigative journalist” whose byline graces the trash of leftist propaganda outlets like The Wire and NewsClick, is nothing more than a serial peddler of half-baked hit pieces designed to sabotage India’s economic rise. 

A magistrate court in Mansa, Gandhinagar, has convicted journalist Ravi Nair in a criminal defamation case and sentenced him to one year of imprisonment along with a monetary fine.

The case arose from a complaint filed by Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL), the flagship company of the Adani Group, which alleged that Nair had published and circulated a series of tweets containing false and defamatory statements targeting the company and the conglomerate.

In its complaint, AEL contended that the posts in question did not constitute fair comment or legitimate criticism but were intended to harm the company’s reputation and erode public and investor confidence.

Following trial proceedings, the court held that the complainant had successfully substantiated its allegations. The magistrate found Ravi Nair guilty of criminal defamation, convicted him, and awarded a sentence of one year’s imprisonment in addition to imposing a fine.
