“Highway Edge” Codeword Exposed: ATS Uncovers Interstate Weapons Network via Telegram, 200+ Suspects Under Watch

Shamli/Gujarat: Gujarat ATS has cracked a major weapons supply network with links spanning Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat. Investigations revealed that Pakistan-backed terror handlers had devised the codeword “Highway Edge” to coordinate the delivery of weapons from Hanumangarh (Rajasthan) to Ahmedabad, evading law enforcement detection. During questioning of arrested suspects—Azad Sheikh (Jhinjhanna, UP), Suhail (Lakhimpur Kheri, UP), and Ahmad Moiyuddin (Ahmedabad)—authorities uncovered a sophisticated logistics chain run entirely through coded language. Telegram calls were used to relay delivery locations using the “Highway Edge” code to confuse interception attempts by security agencies.

Assam Minister’s Cauliflower Tweet Sparks Controversy, Revives Memories of Bhagalpur Riots

Guwahati/Bihar: A seemingly innocuous tweet by Assam Health Minister Ashok Singhal about cauliflower farming in Bihar has ignited a political storm, particularly in Assam. While Bihar leaders remained largely silent, Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi and TMC spokesperson Saket Gokhale criticized the tweet, linking it to the infamous Bhagalpur riots of 1989. The controversy stems from a grim historical connection: during the Bhagalpur riots, hundreds of Muslims were killed, and, according to reports, some of the mass graves were later covered with cauliflower crops. On 24 October 1989, tensions escalated in Bhagalpur when a procession marking the Ram Janmabhoomi movement clashed with local Muslim residents. The violence spread rapidly, leaving around 900–1,000 people dead and affecting nearly...
