ADGP (Law and Order), M R Ajith Kumar, who heads the SIT, said the accused Shahrukh Saifi used to watch radicalised videos of controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik and said provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, have been invoked against him based on the scientific evidence collected.
The investigation team has invoked Section 16 of the UAPA which deals with punishment for terrorist acts.

“We went to various states and based on scientific, documentary and oral evidence collected, conducted a comprehensive probe and decided to invoke the concerned provisions of UAPA. He is highly radicalised. He saw radicalised videos of Zakeer Naik and others. He came here in a pre-planned manner to commit the crime,” Kumar told the media here.

He said the investigation team has found evidence in connection with the accused and the crime he committed and was probing whether he received any help from anyone else.
The investigating team, which has been granted custody of Shahrukh Saifi, had on April 12 taken him to Kannur for collecting evidence from the two train coaches of the Alappuzha-Kannur Executive Express train in which he had set fire to some passengers leading to the death of three persons, including a two-year-old child.
Saifi’s police custody is set to expire on April 18.

A Kozhikode First Class Judicial Magistrate had granted 11-day custody of Saifi to police after he was discharged from the hospital upon undergoing treatment for the injuries he suffered during an attempt to escape from the moving train.
Saifi has also confessed to the crime committed by him, according to the police.
On the night of April 2, Saifi had set his co-passengers on fire onboard the Alappuzha-Kannur Executive Express train when it reached the Korapuzha bridge near Elathur in Kozhikode.

Rajasthan HC orders stay on arrest of Ramdev accused of hurting religious sentiments

[ad_1]
The Rajasthan High Court has stayed the arrest of Ramdev over an FIR registered against him for allegedly hurting religious sentiments and directed the yoga guru to appear before the investigating officer for questioning by May 20.
Justice Manoj Kumar Garg gave the direction while hearing a petition by Ramdev seeking quashing of the FIR.
The FIR was filed at the Chohtan police station in Barmer on February 5 on the complaint of Pathai Khan against the yoga guru’s alleged derogatory remarks against Islam and Christianity at a religious event in Barmer on February 2.

In provocative remarks at a meeting of seers, Yoga guru Ramdev had accused Muslims of resorting to terror and abducting Hindu women while comparing Hinduism to Islam and Christianity. He alleged that the two faiths were obsessed with conversion while Hinduism taught its followers to do good.
In his complaint, Khan claimed that Ramdev had made his remarks “deliberately… so that there is animosity against Islam”.
At the gathering of seers in Barmer, Ramdev had allegedly said, “Muslims offer namaz five times a day and then do whatever they want. They kidnap Hindu girls and commit all kinds of sins. Our Muslim brothers commit a lot of sins but they definitely offer namaz as they are taught to do so. Hindu religion is not like this.” A video of his speech had surfaced on social media.
“I am not criticising anyone but people are obsessed only with this. Some people talk about converting the entire world to Islam and others want to convert the world to Christianity,” Ramdev said. He allegedly claimed that these faiths had no other agenda.

Telangana: ED to question key accused in TSPSC paper leak case

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: In a significant development in the Telangana State Public Service (TSPSC) exam paper leak case, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has entered the scene to question tge key accused.
The central agency filed a petition in the Nampally court, seeking permission to question Praveen Kumar and Rajasekhar Reddy, both suspended employees of the TSPSC who are currently in judicial custody.
As there were allegations of money laundering, the ED moved the court to record the statement of the accused under section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The agency submitted to the court that it has the powers to take up investigation under Sections 48 and 49.

The ED has registered an Enforcement Case Information Report, based on the media reports, information in public domain and preliminary inputs from intelligence.
The court was told that a four-member team of ED officials will record the statements of the accused.
The ED also sought court’s direction to Chanchalguda Jail superintendent to allow laptops, printer and other electronic gadgets into the jail for recording the statements.
The agency also mentioned in its petition that it had written to the Central Crime Station (CCS) on March 23 seeking documents and details of the case. It sought a direction to the police to hand over the case details.
The ED has also issued notices to two TSPSC officials, including confidential section officer Shankara Lakshmi. They have been asked to appear for questioning on April 12 and 13. The accused had stolen the question papers from Lakshmi’s computer.

Meanwhile, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Hyderabad police probing the paper leak on Tuesday submitted its investigation report to the Telangana High Court in a sealed cover. Hearing the petition of NSUI leader Balamoori Venkat, the court had directed the SIT to submit the report.
The Advocate General submitted to the court that out of 18 accused, 17 have been arrested by the SIT while efforts were on to arrest another accused who is in New Zealand.
The petitioner’s counsel argued that he has no trust in SIT which works under the state government. He also submitted to the court that the SIT investigation is confined to few lower-rank employees of the TSPSC. Stating that the ED is talking about transactions from abroad, he said investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) alone can bring out the facts.
The court asked the Advocate General whether candidates were allowed to appear in the examinations as per rules and sought details like the name of the agency which was outsourced the task of conducting the exams.
The paper leak issue rocked the TSPSC last month. Two employees broke into a computer system in the confidential section of TSPSC, stole question papers, and shared them with others.
The TSPSC has cancelled four examinations conducted by it including the preliminary exam conducted for recruitment to Group-1 posts in the government departments.
The SIT has also recorded the statements of TSPSC Chairman, Secretary and a member and also questioned several candidates who had scored good marks in Group-1 exam.
