IIT-Dhanbad student gets gold garland from PM Modi

NarendraModi

In a kind gesture, Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is immensely popular among the countrymen and known for going an extra mile to please his followers has now gifted a gold-coloured garland to an IIT student after he requested the PM for the same on social media.

Rabesh Kumar Singh, a mechanical engineering student of Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad, had asked the Prime Minister for the garland on Twitter, which he wore during a public rally in Madhya Pradesh last month.

Responding to his tweet, the Prime Minister sent the same garland to the student the very next day along with a letter which read, โ€œI read your message on Twitter where you expressed your liking for the garland I wore at Mandla on Panchayati Raj Diwas. I am sending you a letter along with the garland as a gift. I wish you all the best for the future.โ€

Singh, after receiving the gift, expressed his gratitude toward the Prime Minister and tweeted, โ€œI am honoured after receiving the gift and letter from you. Thank you very much for this beautiful gift and good luck message.โ€

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday said its two-member team last week questioned female Islamic State recruiter Karen Aisha Hamidon in Manila for her involvement in radicalising several Indian men online.

Giving details of the overseas investigations, a spokesperson said that during the NIAโ€™s probe of IS-related cases registered in 2015 and 2016, it was found that three accused persons โ€” Mohd Naser (Tamil Nadu), Mohd Sirajuddin and Adnan Hasan (Karnataka) were in online contact with the woman identified as Karen Aisha Al Muslimah alias Karen Aisha Hamidon on platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp and Telegram. It further came on record that Karen was also in online contact with many other Indians.

An NIA statement said that the leads obtained are being investigated and that the execution of the Letters Rogatory (LR) by the Philippines authority is expected soon.

To ascertain Karenโ€™s role in the crime, requests under LR, issued by the special NIA courts in Delhi and Jaipur, were forwarded through proper channels to the competent judicial authority in the Philippines in 2017 seeking legal assistance in the investigation.
