Court staff ‘absconds’, judge transferred, ACB accused of retaliation

May 27, 2025, 12:29 am

What began as a routine GST fraud probe and arrest in August last year has exploded into a high-stake standoff between Delhi’s judiciary and its Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB), with allegations of bail-for-bribe” deals, retaliation against a judge, and fabrication of evidence flying thick and fast. At the centre of the issue is Mukesh Kumar, an ahlmad (record keeper) formerly posted at a Special Court at Rouse Avenue at court room number 608, who now faces serious corruption charges. Kumar, in turn, has accused ACB officers of orchestrating a vendetta campaign to tar- get a presiding judge critical of their investigations.

This development comes just days after a controversy rocked the national capital involving Justice Yashwant Varma of the Delhi High Court. On March 14, a fire broke out at his Lutyens’ Delhi residence, where a huge stash of burnt cash was reportedly discovered in a storeroom near the servants’ quarters. After a Supreme court appointed committee submitted its re- port in the matter, the court withdrew all judicial work from Justice Varma, later transferring him to the Allahabad High Court and directing that no judicial assignments be given to him.

In the present case, Mukesh Kumar, who has now “absconding”, as per ACB officials, is accused of demanding and receiving large sums on behalf of the court in exchange for bail to multiple accused in a Rs 54-crore GST refund scam. Earlier, Kumar wrote to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) alleging a deep-rooted conspiracy by senior ACB officers to coerce court staff, manipulate case files, and target a presiding judge through what he describes as a “manufactured FIR”.

On May 16, the ACB registered FIR No. 33/2025 under Sections 7, 13, and 8(1) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, along with Sections 308(2) and 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The FIR alleged that Mukesh Kumar, acting from within the Special Court, demanded bribes from multiple accused to facilitate bail in FIR No. 05/2023, a corruption case involving over 500 fake companies and Rs 700 crore in fraudulent invoices.

The primary complainants on the basis of which the FIR was lodged are Prasoon Vashishtha, an advocate and brother-inlaw of accused GST officer Babita Sharma, and Vikesh Bansal, another accused in the case who were arrested in August last year. According to ACB sources, Vashishtha’s 30 December 2024 complaint—addressed to the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court—alleged that bail for Sharma was delayed and ultimately dismissed after he refused to pay a bribe of Rs 1 crore to judicial officers.

Bansal, in a 20 January 2025 complaint, submitted three audio recordings allegedly capturing Mukesh Kumar soliciting bribes. On 29 January, the matter was referred to the GNCTD Law Department and then to the Registrar (Vigilance), Delhi High Court, which gave ACB liberty to investigate on 13 February 2025. According to ACB, Mukesh Kumar failed to cooperate, refused to submit his mobile phone, and went into hiding after the FIR was filed. On 22 May, a Delhi court dismissed his anticipatory bail plea but directed that BNSS safeguards for arrest be followed.

The ACB has arrested coaccused Vishal Kumar, a chartered accountant, who allegedly admitted in his disclosure, among other things, that he paid Rs 40 lakh to Mukesh Kumar for interim bail, extensions, and regular bail.

He also allegedly acted as an intermediary for others, collecting Rs 85 lakh from Raj Singh Saini and his brothers, Rs 15 lakh from transporter Lalit Kumar, and additional amounts from accused Manoj Kumar and Vikesh Bansal.

The agency claims that the pattern shows a coordinated scheme of judicial manipulation in exchange for large cash payments. The FIR against Kumar, ACB insists, rests not merely on complaints but on a direct confession from a co-accused and corroborating audio evidence.

On 21 May 2025, Mukesh Kumar filed a detailed complaint before the CBI, seeking FIRs against top officials of the ACB.

In his complaint, he accused the officials of attempting to alter judicial records to protect a builder, offering him money to “unofficially” replace court documents, threatening him with arrest and custodial violence for refusing, pressuring him to gather “dirt” on the presiding judge, and using him as a “tool” to retaliate after the judge passed 17 adverse orders flagging ACB lapses, such as delayed charge-sheets and botched investigations.

Kumar, as a part of his court submission, has also submitted his 25 January transfer request, which detailed these alleged pressures — and which he claims was later leaked to ACB, prompting threats that he would be jailed within a month. He also alleged that ACB officers visited the judge’s chamber after a 16 May contempt show-cause notice was issued against ACB officials.

In his complaint he had further alleged that hours later, the FIR against Kumar was filed. That same evening, ACB officers allegedly visited Kumar’s home, roughed up family members, seized phones, and demanded he implicate the judge in which he was the record keeper.

An audio clip allegedly capturing ACB officer Jarnail Singh stating that the “practical sense” behind targeting the judge was his repeated adverse judicial orders has been submitted to the court as part of Kumar’s defence. This was confirmed by Ayush Jain, one of four lawyers representing Kumar pro bono.

Jain also shared with The Sunday Guardian copies of 17 judicial orders passed by the judge in question between July and October 2024 that had criticised ACB investigations; these orders, Jain said, are part of the official court record.

“This FIR against Kumar is a case of abuse of process of law. In fact, the judge has in the past issued a showcause for contempt against a senior ACB officer in a separate case. Many such adverse orders have been passed by the concerned judge against ACB and that is why he is now being targeted,” Jain told The Sunday Guardian. When asked whether Mukesh Kumar was absconding, Jain declined to comment. Kumar’s allegations, while extensive and detailed, remain under judicial review and have not been independently verified. Kumar further claims that after the FIR, ACB illegally detained Vikesh Bansal to force him to change his statement an application regarding this was allegedly filed before the Rouse Avenue District Judge. He said an earlier internal inquiry (by officer Krishan Kumar) had already closed the case, finding that complainants’ signatures were obtained under duress. That inquiry, he claims, was disregarded. He also alleged an ACP with the ACB personally told him the retaliation was due to the judge’s conduct and that his statement was being weaponized to draw the judge into the case. He claimed ACB warned him that if the presiding officer did not reverse his contempt notice, the FIR would proceed. Kumar has further claimed that CCTV footage from the Rouse Avenue court complex could corroborate his version of events on 16 May.

Kumar is seeking protection under Section 183 of BNSS to record a court statement and has expressed fear that the current investigation is being led by officers he previously accused of corruption. In response to five queries by The Sunday Guardian, the ACB, through a senior DCP level officer, issued this point-wise statement:

1Q. Why was FIR No. 33/2025 against Mukesh Kumar registered on 16 May 2025 — just hours after the Special Court issued a contempt notice to senior ACB officials?

A. The FIR was unrelated to the contempt notice. The investigation was based on independent complaints and approved by the Delhi High Court. The contempt notice appears to have been issued after the court informally learned of impending action, potentially to create institutional pressure.

Q. Did the ACB conduct any internal inquiry or verification before registering the FIR?

A. Yes. The contents of both complaints and audio recordings were verified. The Law Department and Delhi High Court were informed, and permission to investigate was granted. The accused refused to cooperate.

Q. How does ACB respond to Mukesh Kumar’s transfer request, which allegedly cited pressure from ACB officers?

A.The ACB was neither notified of nor privy to this transfer request and cannot comment on its content.

Q. Does the audio recording contain an explicit demand for a bribe?

A.Yes. According to ACB, the recording clearly captures a demand for bribes and also includes threats.

Q. Did the agency re-approach the Delhi High Court before FIR registration in May?

A. No additional approval was required after the High Court’s February clearance. The FIR was based solely on evidence and the accused’s non-cooperation.

Senior ACB officials, speaking off the record, said the timing of the contempt notice issued by the judge in which Mukesh Kumar was the record keeper raised questions since it was issued after the agency had reportedly finalized its evidentiary review and was close to arresting Kumar. According to them, the notice is being viewed internally as a tactical response intended to exert pressure on the agency ahead of imminent action.

ACB officials maintained that the agency had followed all statutory procedures and expressed confidence that its actions would withstand judicial scrutiny. The Special Judge at the center of the controversy was subsequently transferred from Rouse Avenue to Rohini court. With serious accusations on both sides — including potential misuse of investigative powers and abuse of court processes — the matter is now under review by the Delhi High Court. A status report is expected by 29 May.

Crime Rate Drops Under Bhajan Lal Govt, FIRs Reduced By 20,000

January 29, 2025, 1:10 am

The BJP government in Rajasthan has successfully reduced crime rates in the state, marking a significant drop in the number of registered FIRs. Over the past year, 20,000 fewer FIRs were filed compared to the previous year under the Congress-led government. This reduction highlights the impact of the BJP’s focus on law and order.

Decline In FIRs: A Mark Of Law And Order Success

According to data from the Rajasthan Police Headquarters, the Kota range topped the state in case disposal, followed by Banswara, Pali, and Udaipur in second place. Jaipur range ranked third. This efficient handling of cases has been credited to the leadership and monitoring of Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, who ensured strict measures against crime.

Swift Action And Immediate Case Disposal: Key To Crime Reduction

Under the leadership of the BJP government, Rajasthan has witnessed a significant improvement in law and order, with a sharp decline in crime rates. One key focus has been on the swift disposal of cases following the registration of FIRs. Emphasis was placed on immediate action, ensuring that cases were promptly investigated and resolved. The swift action taken against the criminals contributed significantly to reducing the overall crime rate in the state.

Government’s Firm Stance Drives Criminals Out

Jawahar Singh Bedam, Minister of State for Home Affairs, credited the efficiency of Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma for the improvement, highlighting his timely monitoring of administrative officers. Bedam emphasised that the government’s firm stance on crime has forced criminals to leave the state, helping to restore peace and security.

FIR Reduction: A Clear Indicator Of Progress

In 2023, under the Congress government, approximately 3.17 lakh FIRs were registered in the state. However, under the BJP government, this number dropped to around 2.97 lakh in 2024, showing a reduction of 20,000 FIRs. This decline reflects the government’s commitment to maintaining law and order.

Improved Case Disposal And Reduced Pendency Rates

Despite the free registration of FIRs, the number of cases decreased, thanks to the government’s strict approach. Additionally, the police focused on quick justice, which helped reduce the pendency rate to less than 3%, a significant improvement from the previous year. The case disposal rate also improved, dropping from 20% to 17%. These efforts underline the BJP government’s dedication to ensuring a safer and more secure Rajasthan for its citizens.

‘Badge Of Honour In Ambedkar Legacy’: Congress Defends FIR Against Rahul Gandhi’

December 20, 2024, 7:05 am

The Congress party on Friday dismissed the First Information Report (FIR) filed against Rahul Gandhi in connection with a scuffle in Parliament as a “diversionary tactic” in response to his outspoken protest against Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s controversial remarks on Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. The FIR was filed by BJP MPs accusing Gandhi of “physical assault and incitement” during the incident that took place within the Parliament premises.

Congress Defends Rahul Gandhi’s Actions

In a statement on social media, Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal defended Rahul Gandhi, stating that the case against him was a “badge of honour” for standing up in defense of Babasaheb Ambedkar’s legacy. Venugopal also questioned why the Delhi Police had not taken action against BJP MPs who had allegedly physically assaulted Congress women MPs. He further claimed that Rahul Gandhi was already facing 26 FIRs as part of a broader political vendetta by the BJP and assured that such actions would not silence the Congress party or deter their opposition to what they see as the “casteist” RSS-BJP regime.

Details of the FIR and Allegations

The FIR against Rahul Gandhi was lodged by BJP MP Hemang Joshi, who alleged that Gandhi’s actions led to injuries sustained by two BJP MPs. The complaint cited charges including voluntary causing grievous hurt, endangering personal safety, and criminal intimidation, among others. Gandhi has been booked under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (Indian Penal Code) for his involvement in the scuffle.

Parliament Scuffle: BJP and Congress at Odds

The incident unfolded on Thursday near the Makar Dwar, an entrance reserved for lawmakers, during a heated exchange between BJP and Congress MPs. Both parties accused each other of assaulting their members. BJP MPs claimed Gandhi physically assaulted them, leading to injuries, while Congress alleged that BJP legislators had blocked Gandhi’s path and pushed Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, injuring him.

The scuffle occurred in the context of a protest by members of the opposition alliance, INDIA, against Amit Shah’s remarks on Dr. Ambedkar, which had sparked tensions in Parliament. Both parties had concurrent protests, and the situation escalated quickly.

Congress Files Complaint Against BJP Leaders

In response to the allegations against their leader, the Congress filed their own complaint at the Parliament Street Police Station, accusing BJP leaders of misbehaving with Mallikarjun Kharge and calling for an FIR under charges of assault, grievous hurt, and battery.

Political Tensions Rise Ahead of Key Debates

As the political confrontation intensifies, both parties are gearing up for more heated exchanges in Parliament. With both BJP and Congress claiming victimhood, the incident has added fuel to an already contentious political atmosphere, raising questions about decorum and the state of democracy in the country.

Delhi Blast: Authorities Suspect Khalistani Links, Key Details of Suspect and Explosive Emerge

October 21, 2024, 1:52 pm

As investigations into the recent Delhi blast continue, new details have emerged, with authorities now suspecting possible Khalistani links. The explosion, which occurred in the Prashant Vihar area near a CRPF school, caused significant damage, and key information about the suspect’s identity and the nature of the explosives has been revealed.

Suspicious Man Spotted Before the Blast

According to the investigation, a man wearing a white t-shirt was seen acting suspiciously near the blast site the night before the explosion. Authorities are probing his involvement, as his activity raised red flags shortly before the incident.

Further details from the Delhi Police confirmed that the explosive device was placed in a half to one-foot-deep pit. It was wrapped in a polythene bag and covered with garbage to avoid detection. Sources suggest that the blast was caused by a crude bomb, with traces of low explosives found near the site.

During the investigation, a white powdery substance suspected to be ammonium phosphate—a common component in homemade bombs—was discovered at the scene. Forensic analysis is underway to confirm the exact nature of the materials. Additionally, wires and a battery were found, raising questions about whether they were connected to the explosion.

The FIR lodged in connection with the case offers vital details. It states that the explosion caused damage to the boundary wall of the CRPF school and shattered the window panes and signboards of nearby shops. The area was cordoned off, and senior officers and forensic teams were immediately dispatched to the scene.

As the investigation continues, the case has been registered under Section 326(g) of the BNS, Section 3 of the Explosive Substances Act, and Section 4 of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act.

PM Modi And Yogi Adityanath’s Dance Videos On Bhojpuri Song: FIR Filled | Watch

September 25, 2024, 5:11 pm

A recent social media incident has stirred significant debate after an X user, Neha Singh Rathore, shared a video featuring edited clips of prominent Indian leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mahatma Gandhi, and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, dancing to Bhojpuri songs. Rathore, who identifies as a nationalist, social activist, and public speaker, condemned the videos, questioning the intentions behind their creation.

Criticism of Content Creators

In her post, Rathore expressed outrage over the edited footage, highlighting the efforts made by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for the honor and empowerment of women in Uttar Pradesh. “How can some cheap street reelers use Yogi Ji for a few views?” she questioned, criticizing those behind the videos. She further remarked on the inappropriate use of footage featuring revered figures like Mahatma Gandhi and PM Modi for what she termed “cheap popularity.”

Legal Action Underway

Following Rathore’s complaint, an FIR has been registered against unknown individuals under sections of the Information Technology Act. Praveen Singh, the head of the media cell at Cyber Thana, lodged the complaint. Additional Superintendent of Police Anil Kumar Jha assured the public that the police are actively investigating the matter and legal actions will follow against those found culpable.

Modi’s Response to Similar Incidents

This incident isn’t the first time Prime Minister Modi has engaged with memes and edits on social media. During the recent Lok Sabha elections, he positively responded to a humorous animated meme of himself dancing, saying he enjoyed seeing himself in such light-hearted content. Modi remarked, “Such creativity in peak poll season is truly a delight! #PollHumour,” showcasing his appreciation for humor in political discourse.

The unfolding events have ignited discussions on the ethics of editing public figures’ images and the potential repercussions for creators of such content. As the investigation proceeds, many are watching closely to see how authorities will address this unique intersection of social media and political representation.

CBI Registers FIR Against Ex-RG Kar Principal Sandip Ghosh

August 24, 2024, 6:42 pm

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officially registered an FIR against Dr. Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, following a directive from the Calcutta High Court. The investigation stems from allegations of corruption, and the CBI launched its probe after the High Court’s single bench ordered them to take up the case.

On Saturday morning, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) from the Calcutta High Court delivered crucial documents related to the case to the CBI office at Nizam Palace. Acting promptly, the CBI filed the FIR and submitted a copy to the Alipur Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Court the same day. The investigation is now underway, with CBI officials confirming that further actions will depend on the evidence gathered.

In parallel, a team of experts from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) in Delhi arrived in Kolkata to conduct polygraph tests on Dr. Sandip Ghosh and others linked to the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College. The Calcutta High Court had granted the CBI permission to carry out these tests. The polygraph tests will involve Dr. Ghosh, Sanjay Roy, the main accused, four other doctors, and one volunteer.

The High Court has set a deadline of three weeks for the CBI to submit a progress report on the investigation, which is due on September 17. Meanwhile, the case has drawn significant attention and led to increased security measures. Earlier this week, the Supreme Court ordered that security at RG Kar Medical College be transferred to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) in response to the ongoing unrest in West Bengal. The CISF’s deployment aims to bolster security and help maintain public order amidst the heightened tensions in the state.

Protests have erupted across West Bengal following the alleged rape and murder of the trainee doctor, whose body was found in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College on August 9. Doctors from multiple institutions, including Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), and Indira Gandhi Hospital, participated in a strike to protest the incident.

However, the Supreme Court intervened, urging the medical community to return to work. Following the Court’s appeal, the Resident Doctors Association of Indira Gandhi Hospital officially called off its 11-day strike. On Thursday, other hospitals, including AIIMS and Ram Manohar Lohia, also ended their protests. The Supreme Court assured the doctors that it would prevail upon authorities to avoid taking adverse action against them once they resumed their duties.

As investigations continue, the case remains under intense scrutiny. The deployment of CISF personnel at RG Kar Medical College underscores the seriousness of the situation, and all eyes are now on the progress of the CBI’s investigation and the outcome of the polygraph tests. The court’s ongoing oversight ensures that the investigation remains on track, with the next update expected by September 17.

Mahua Moitra Faces FIR Under New Law Over Social Media Post On NCW Chief

July 7, 2024, 8:31 pm

Delhi Police filed a First Information Report (FIR) against Mahua Moitra, a Trinamool Congress (TMC) parliamentarian, for a ‘derogatory’ social media post concerning National Commission for Women (NCW) chairperson Rekha Sharma.

Moitra has been charged under Section 79 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), a newly enacted law effective from July 1, which replaces the British-era Indian Penal Code (IPC). This section pertains to acts intended to insult the modesty of a woman.

The FIR was lodged based on a complaint filed by Rekha Sharma, the NCW chairperson.

Rekha Sharma vs Mahua Moitra

On Thursday, Rekha Sharma visited Hathras in Uttar Pradesh following a stampede at a religious event on July 2 that claimed the lives of 121 people. A day after her visit, a video surfaced on microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter), showing Sharma walking with her hands free while someone behind her held an umbrella, an action perceived as insensitive by many.

Reacting to the video, Moitra wrote: “She is too busy holding up her boss’s pajamas.”

The NCW criticized her remark as ‘crude and outrageous.’

“The remarks are a violation of a woman’s right to dignity. The Commission observed that this remark attracts Section 79 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, 2023,” the women’s panel said in a statement on X.

Despite the criticism, the Trinamool Congress leader remained undeterred and challenged the Delhi Police to take immediate action against her based on their own initiative.

“(I) Am in Nadia in case you need me in the next 3 days to make a quick arrest. I Can Hold My Own Umbrella,” the Lok Sabha member from West Bengal’s Krishnanagar seat, stated.

Hathras Tragedy: 121 Killed In Stampede, FIR Registered Against Organisers

July 3, 2024, 9:59 am

In a tragic turn of events, the death toll from a stampede at a religious congregation organized by self-styled godman Narayan Sakar Hari in Fulrai village has risen to 121, as confirmed by a senior official on July 3rd. The incident, which occurred during a ‘satsang’ attended by over one lakh people, primarily women, also left 28 individuals injured.

According to the Office of the Relief Commissioner, 19 of the deceased remain unidentified. The Uttar Pradesh Police have taken action by filing an FIR against the event’s organizers, alleging that they attempted to conceal evidence of the stampede by discarding victims’ belongings in nearby fields with standing crops.

The FIR, lodged under sections including BNS-105, 110, 126, 223, and 238, names organizer Devprakash Mathur, while Narayan Sakar Hari, who is reportedly absconding, has not been directly implicated.

In response to the tragedy, the district administration has set up helplines (05722227041 and 05722227042) to assist the public. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances leading to the stampede, which has sent shockwaves through the community and beyond.

Rape Allegations Spotlight Fraudulent Activities Of Surat Firm In Muzaffarpur

June 27, 2024, 9:25 am

A major job racket involving a Surat-headquartered networking company, DBR Unique, has been uncovered in Muzaffarpur district, leading to the arrest of two individuals and multiple allegations of sexual assault, illegal detention, and cheating.

On June 2, the Muzaffarpur Police registered an FIR against nine office bearers of DBR Unique, a company dealing in herbal products and networking. The FIR includes charges related to cheating, illegal detention, and sexual abuse. Among those arrested are Tilak Kumar Singh, named in the FIR, and Ajay Pratap, who was not initially named but was taken into custody for allegedly beating a girl at the company’s Muzaffarpur office.

Muzaffarpur City SP Awadhesh Dikshit stated, “So far, we have arrested two people — Tilak Kumar Singh on charges of sexual assault, and Ajay Pratap for beating up a girl. Both are employees of DBR Unique, a Surat-headquartered company.”

The company has a history of complaints against it. Between 2022 and 2023, at least four FIRs were lodged in Hajipur district, accusing the company of duping people by promising them jobs in exchange for money.

The latest complaint was filed by a 23-year-old woman from Saran district. She alleged that she and dozens of other girls were sexually abused at the company’s hostels in Muzaffarpur and Hajipur since August 2022. According to her complaint, she joined the Muzaffarpur office in August 2022 after depositing ₹20,000, with the promise of a ₹25,000 monthly salary. When no salary was received after three months, her seniors allegedly offered her ₹50,000 per month and a bonus if she brought in 50 job aspirants. She further alleged that Tilak Kumar Singh promised to marry her but instead forced her into a physical relationship.

The FIR includes statements from two other witnesses — a 21-year-old from Minapur and a 22-year-old from Saran — who also reported being beaten by company officials.

DBR Unique, classified as a non-government company and registered at the Registrar of Companies in Ahmedabad, is led by its sole director, Manish Sinha alias Manish Kumar, a resident of Gopalganj. Police raids have been conducted across Bihar, and a team may soon be dispatched to Noida to locate Manish Kumar.

Further allegations against DBR Unique surfaced in a case filed on May 14 last year, involving a woman from Dumka, Jharkhand. Her mother reported that after her daughter was hired by the company at Raxaul, she was not allowed to contact her. On May 10, the daughter managed to call her mother, revealing that she was being sexually abused by four people from the company. The Raxaul Police rescued the girl and filed charges of sexual assault, illegal detention, and torture against five individuals under relevant sections of the IPC and the SC/ST Act.

CISF Suspends and Lodges FIR Against Officer Who Allegedly Slapped BJP MP Kangana Ranaut

June 6, 2024, 7:33 pm

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has suspended woman constable Kulwinder Kaur and lodged a complaint against her at the local police station for slapping actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut at the Chandigarh airport.

“We have taken immediate action by suspending the woman constable involved in the incident and have lodged a complaint with the local police to register an FIR,” a senior CISF officer confirmed.

A Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officer of constable rank allegedly slapped Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Kangana Ranaut during a frisking argument at Chandigarh airport while she was headed to Delhi earlier today, sources said.

An inquiry committee comprising senior CISF officers has been set up to conduct a further investigation, according to the sources.

Meanwhile, Ranaut has arrived at Delhi airport ahead of the meeting of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) scheduled tomorrow in Parliament’s central hall.

Zero FIR Against BRS Working President KTR, Case Handed Over to Banjara Hills Police

March 31, 2024, 4:08 pm

A day after a zero FIR was filed against the Working President of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Telangana, Kalvakuntla Taraka Rama Rao (KTR), at Hanamkonda Police Station, the case has been promptly transferred to Banjara Hills Police.

The Banjara Hills police lodged a case under IPC Sections 504 and 505 (2), on Saturday.

Previously, Congress leader Bathini Srinivas Rao lodged a complaint against former minister and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president KTR in Hanmakonda on Friday, accusing him of making allegations against Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy.

Expressing criticism towards the allegations, the Congress leader stated that KTR made false and misleading claims against Chief Minister Reddy, alleging that he had collected Rs 2,500 crores from contractors and builders and transferred the funds to Delhi.

“Misleading and baseless allegations are being made by KTR and disrupting peace and security,” Bathini Srinivas Rao said in his complaint.

According to the ACP of Hanumakonda, “a zero FIR under IPC sections 504 and 505(2) has been filed against KTR on the complaint of Congress leader Bathini Srinivas Rao for making allegations against Telangana CM Revanth Reddy.”

Earlier on Friday, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy responded to KT Rama Rao’s remark that ‘phones may have been tapped’ and Reddy warned that anyone who was involved in the alleged phone-tapping under the previous BRS government, ‘will be sent to jail’.

“Earlier, the government scared the people who voted for them by putting cases on them and phone tapping. ‘KTR is saying that they tapped a few calls, so what?’ Can anyone speak like that? If you tap phones, you will go to Cherlapalli jail. The officers who listened to them are in jail. We already said that they are evil doers, thieves, and if you listen to them, you will go to jail. KTR is speaking like an unbridled bull. They will pay for it, but the case is under investigation,” Chief Minister Revanth Reddy said.

The phone-tapping case revolves around allegations of widespread phone tapping of political leaders, including CM Reddy, during the previous BRS government led by K. Chandrashekar Rao.

Delhi police file FIR over ‘objectionable’ posters against PM

March 6, 2024, 1:15 pm

Delhi Police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) based on a complaint filed by the New Delhi Municipal Council regarding posters that contained derogatory remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his family. The complaint alleged that unknown individuals had displayed these posters within the jurisdiction of the Tughlaqabad Police Station.

The appearance of these posters follows comments made by RJD Chief and former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, who recently made objectionable remarks against PM Modi. In response to criticism from the opposition, PM Modi stated that the ideology of the INDI Alliance revolves around family first, whereas his ideology prioritizes the nation.

He emphasized his government’s efforts to empower women and create economic opportunities, aiming to make three crore women across the country financially self-sufficient. PM Modi criticized the INDI Alliance, stating that they have no substantive response to the government’s achievements and policies, leading them to attack him personally.

During a rally in Patna on March 3, Lalu Yadav accused PM Modi of spreading hatred in the name of religion and questioned his Hindu identity. Lalu Yadav referenced PM Modi’s response to his mother’s death, where traditionally Hindus shave their head and beard, suggesting that PM Modi’s actions were not in line with Hindu traditions.

Following these events, supporters of the BJP and others changed their social media profiles to include ‘Modi Ka Parrivar’ (Modi’s family) in solidarity with the Prime Minister.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a case against a defense-related corporation for allegedly defrauding the bank to the tune of Rs 30 crore. According to the FIR, a senior official of Indian Bank alleged in his complaint that Adigear International, through its partners/guarantors, with dishonest intent and in criminal conspiracy with unknown public servants and unknown private persons, defrauded Indian Bank (erstwhile Allahabad Bank), causing wrongful loss to the bank and wrongful gain to themselves.

The Ministry of Defence barred Adigear International, a manufacturer of garments and bulletproof jackets, from conducting business with the armed forces in March of this year. The accused named in the FIR have been identified as Adigear International, P N Khanna, Anu Khanna, Sanjay Khanna, Sandeep Khanna and others. The firm is located in Naraina Vihar, New Delhi and persons named in the FIR were partners or guarantors in the firm.

The bank discounted these bills and credited a sum of Rs 7.07 Cr to the cash credit account of the party.

On the due date, Standard Gram Udyog Sansthan failed to make the payment to the bank. When Adigear International was contacted, it was informed that Standard Gram Udyog Sansthan had rejected the goods and had been lying in the factory.

It was also discovered that the borrower firm used the complaining bank’s letter of credit facility in the names of multiple entities, some of which were discovered to be non-existent.
