The organization said it is coordinating with authorities to ensure the imam’s safety and urged a thorough investigation to hold the perpetrator accountable. NCCM also called on Canada’s political and social leaders to publicly condemn the attack and take effective measures against hate crimes.

A court in India has granted the National Investigation Agency (NIA) an additional 45 days to complete its investigation into three Bangladeshi nationals arrested for illegally entering India through the Meghalaya border. The accused are reportedly linked to the murder of Bangladeshi activist Sharif Osman Bin Hadi. On June 19, a vacation judge ordered that the three—Rahul alias Faisal Karim Masud, Alamgir Hossain, and Philip Sangma—be placed in judicial custody for three days following their earlier detention by the NIA.

The NIA told the court that it had recently received new records from the West Bengal Police’s Special Task Force and additional documents from the Supreme Court on June 8, which required further analysis and cross-verification with the accused. The defense lawyer opposed the extension, but the court accepted the NIA’s reasoning. The agency had previously interrogated the suspects for several days under its custody.

The case stems from the December 12, 2025 killing of Hadi in Dhaka, which sparked unrest across Bangladesh. Investigators say the suspects fled to India after the murder and were later arrested in March while attempting to return to Bangladesh.

Police in Delhi have uncovered an inter-state network involved in buying and selling newborn babies for large sums of money. The operation was centered around Hira Multispeciality Hospital in Begumpur, Rohini, where traffickers allegedly kept infants until they were sold to childless couples using forged documents. The investigation began after a local resident reported suspicious activity involving a woman frequently seen with different newborns. Acting on this tip, police conducted a sting operation and arrested a woman named Jyoti, also known as Kamlesh, during a baby handover on June 5.

Following her arrest, police detained several accomplices and recovered about 300,000 rupees. Five infants under one month old were rescued. Authorities allege that the hospital’s owner, Dr. Viveki, played a key role in coordinating the sales. The network reportedly sourced babies from poor families in Rajasthan and other regions, selling girls for 300,000–400,000 rupees and boys for up to 800,000 rupees. Additional arrests were made in Gujarat, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh.

Police are now working to locate the infants’ biological families and determine whether the children were sold voluntarily or abducted. Legal action is being considered against both sellers and buyers.
