    2019 Gadchiroli blast: NIA court rejects pleas of 3 accused seeking discharge from MCOCA

    [ad_1]

    Mumbai: A special court here has rejected pleas of three accused in the May 2019 Gadchiroli IED blast case in Maharashtra wherein they had sought discharge from provisions of stringent anti-organised crime law MCOCA, saying ample material existed to show they played a “major role in the commission of the crime” and are members of a banned outfit.

    Fifteen security personnel of the Quick Response Team (QRT) and one civilian were killed in an IED (improvised explosive device) blast on May 1, 2019, in Gadchiroli district in the Vidarbha region, carried out by Naxalites.

    Special NIA (National Investigation Agency) court judge Rajesh Katariya rejected the pleas of the three accused — Somsay Madavi, Kisan Hidami and Parasram Tulavi — on March 6. A detailed order was made available on Thursday.

    The trio and six others have been booked under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), Indian Penal Code (IPC) section for murder and provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, an anti-terror law.

    If found guilty of offences covered under the MCOCA, the accused are liable to get the death sentence or life imprisonment, and a minimum fine of Rs 1,50,000.

    In his application filed through advocate Shariff Shaikh, accused Tulavi claimed he has been falsely implicated in the crime.

    During arguments, advocate Shaikh had submitted before the court that to prosecute his client under the MCOCA, the prosecution has to prove the ingredients of alleged offences under the Act.

    There was no material against the applicant in that regard and the sanction granted to prosecute the accused under the MCOCA was invalid, the defence lawyer submitted.

    Similar contentions were raised by the other two accused (Madavi and Hidami) through their advocate Wahab Khan.

    However, special public prosecutor Jaysing Desai opposed the discharge applications, saying the accused are members of the banned organization Communist Party of India (Maoist).

    They were involved in the killing of police personnel and were also part of the conspiracy behind the bomb blast. Many instances have been recorded in the past regarding illegal acts carried out by members of the said organisation (CPI-Maoist), Desai argued.

    The court, after hearing both the sides, held that prima facie, there was ample material to show the applicants are members of the banned organization.

    The perusal of the statement of the co-accused clearly shows the applicants had been part of a major conspiracy linked to the bomb attack and participated in a meeting before the strike, it said.

    “It also shows that applicants had played a major role in the commission of the crime,” the court noted in its order, adding allegations made against them are “specific” in nature.

    The material placed before the court disclosed grave suspicion against the trio and whether or not allegations levelled against them are true is a matter that cannot be determined at the stage of framing of charge, the judge said.

    “Considering the factual matrix, I am of the view that mitigating circumstances are very less and to do the ultimate justice, trial needs to be held,” the NIA court judge added.

    Karnataka bribery case: BJP likely to expel accused MLA

    [ad_1]

    Bengaluru: The Karnataka unit of BJP, which suffered a setback following MLA Madal Virupakshappa being named as the prime accused in a bribe for tender case, is considering expelling him from the party, sources have confirmed.

    The MLA’s bail plea is coming up for hearing on Tuesday, and all eyes are on the court.

    Sources said that the party leaders and high command have taken a call already in this regard. The party has also decided not to issue the ticket to contest election to any of his family members.

    The High Court will give its judgement on the accused BJP MLA’s bail plea. If the bail plea is rejected, his arrest will become imminent. The accused MLA has also submitted a petition seeking the quashing of FIR against him.

    The BJP MLA from Channagiri constituency has been absconding and special Lokayukta teams are trying to hunt him down. His son, Prashath Madal was caught red-handed while receiving Rs 40 lakh bribe towards allotment of procurement of raw materials to the Karnataka Soaps and Detergents Limited (KSDL), a public sector unit.

    The accused MLA was the Chairman of the KSDL and his son was receiving bribes allegedly on behalf of his father.

    The party has already obtained a report from the disciplinary committee in this regard. The committee has recommended the MLA’s expulsion from the party to the central disciplinary committee to recover from the damage done to the party. The party wants to give a message that it won’t tolerate corruption.

    The state BJP unit has requested the high command to make the decision as early as possible. The party thinks that the severity of damages will be more if the action is delayed.

    Former Chief Minister and BJP Central Parliamentary Board Member B.S. Yediyurappa had stated that the party won’t support MLA Madal Virupakshappa and he will be arrested in a day or two. Meanwhile, the issue has become a major weapon in the hands of Congress, JD(S) and AAP parties to attack the BJP.

  • Punjab College Attack: CMO Intervenes, Orders Action Against Accused

    [ad_1]

    by Maleeha Sofi

    SRINAGAR: In a disturbing incident that took place at the Doaba Group of Colleges in the Kharar area of Mohali, Punjab, a group of Kashmiri students were brutally attacked, leaving two of them critically injured. The assault occurred during a fresher’s party hosted by the Kashmiri students when a group of aggressors attempted to forcefully enter the venue.

    According to reports, a teacher from the college attempted to reason with a group of individuals accused of assaulting Kashmiri students, but was met with violent abuse. The situation quickly spiraled out of control when the group of aggressors later entered the hostel mess where the Kashmiri students were having dinner. Shocking CCTV footage has emerged on the internet, showing the aggressors storming into the hostel mess armed with rods and other weapons, and attacking the Kashmiri students. The accused group is believed to include both students and local residents.

    Despite widespread condemnation, the attack on Kashmiri students has been described as a random act and not targeted based on their identity. Out of the five students who sustained injuries, two – Irshad Ahmed Khan and Faiz – are said to be in critical condition. An FIR has been filed at the Sadar Kharar police station, under IPC Sections 307 (attempt to murder), 148 (rioting, armed with deadly weapons) and 149 (unlawful assembly), among others. The number of accused is said to be 26 out of whom 6 have been identified as Jasvir Singh, Harmanjot Singh, Amarinder Singh, Jashan, Likhnesh Gautam and Sodha Ram. While one of the accused has been arrested so far, further efforts and investigation is underway.

    Adil Yousuf Bhat, the North-Zone District President of the Jammu and Kashmir Students Association, has informed the association members that he received an anonymous phone call from an individual claiming to be from Doaba Group of Colleges. The caller allegedly reported oversight of the matter by the college administration. “I received a call from an unknown number. Kashmiri students were attacked and beaten by some locals and are currently in hospital but the college authority is silent and immediate help is needed,” Bhat said.

    Two days after attack, the Punjab chief minister’s office (CMO) on Sunday directed the police to nab the culprits swiftly. The directions came after the national convener of the Jammu and Kashmir Students’ Association (JKSA), Nasir Khuehami, took up the matter with Baltej Pannu, the media adviser to the Punjab chief minister.

    Nasir, in a tweeted statement expressed gratitude towards the Punjab CM’s office for taking notice of the situation. The tweet read, “I thank Punjab CM and his Media Advisor for personal intervention in Kharar Mohali incident where 5 Kashmiri students were injured after being attacked in hostel mess. One person has been detained and FIR under IPC Section 307, 148 and 149 registered against 26 accused. Chief Minister’s office ensured that action will be taken against those found intimidating students from Kashmir valley. These incidents will not be tolerated at any cost.”

    The tweet further read, “There is no such issue related to the beating of students on the basis of being Kashmiri. We have requested CM office, Punjab to take appropriate measures for instilling a sense of security among the students studying in the state and ensure that no student is harmed or harassed.”

  • 2020 Delhi riots: Muslim man’s murder accused gets bail;

    2020 Delhi riots: Muslim man’s murder accused gets bail;

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: A Delhi court has granted bail to a man accused of murder during the 2020 North East Delhi riots, saying in the name of opposing the bail plea the prosecution tried to mislead the court as eyewitnesses did not establish his culpability.

    The court also asked the Commissioner of Police Sanjay Arora to sensitise all Investigating Officers (IOs) about their duty towards assisting the court in a fair manner.

    Additional Sessions Judge Pulastya Pramachala was hearing the bail plea of Rishabh Chaudhary in a case of rioting and alleged murder of a man called Mushraff, whose body was found in a drain near Johripur Pulia in Gokalpuri on February 27, 2020.

    According to the postmortem report, there were 12 external injuries on the body and the cause of death was injuries to the brain produced by blunt force impact.

    “…Cited eyewitnesses have been examined, but they did not establish the incident in question and the other two remaining witnesses did not claim having seen any person in the mob I find the applicant to be entitled to bail,” the judge said in an order passed on Friday.

    “Hence, the bail application is allowed and applicant Rishabh Chaudhary is admitted to bail on his furnishing personal bond and surety bond in the sum of Rs 30,000 each with one surety in the like amount,” the judge added.

    The judge said the statement of an eyewitness before the Investigating Officer (IO) identifying the accused had no evidentiary value and that the same witness in his testimony before the court categorically stated he had not identified anyone in the riotous mob.

    But the IO’s reply did not mention the witness’ statement before the court, the judge said.

    “It is well within the knowledge of the Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) and IO that statement under section 161 (examination of witnesses by police) of the code of criminal procedure (CrPC) cannot stand before the testimony given before the court and hence, the purpose of not mentioning the testimony of this witness given before the court appears to be nothing but to mislead this court ,” the judge said.

    The judge noted the submissions of the SPP that one of the prosecution witnesses had identified Chaudhary as a member of the riotous mob and that the IO had mentioned him in the reply.

    But in his testimony before the court, the other alleged eyewitness did not say anything about the incident which allegedly occurred on February 25 from around 7.30 pm to 8 pm, and which was being probed in the present case, the judge said.

    “Thus, I find that in the name of opposing bail application through a reply the prosecution has attempted to mislead the court rather than assisting in a fair manner to project the correct picture of the developments taking place in the case,” the judge said.

    He said any reply being filed by the IO or prosecution must be with the objective to assist the court and it was imperative to have a fair and transparent reporting of the facts.

    “If the reply is filed in a jealous manner, thereby suppressing the material facts, it cannot be said to be assistance to the court. Hence, I find that there is a requirement to sensitise all the IOs in respect of their duty towards the court, so as to assist in a fair manner, rather than adopting the practice of hide and seek,” the judge said.

    “Hence, once again I call upon the Commissioner of Police to do the needful for proper sensitisation of all the IOs in this respect,” the judge added.

    The Gokalpuri police station had registered an FIR against 12 accused, including Chaudhary for various offences under the Indian Penal Code, including rioting, murder, criminal conspiracy and kidnapping or abducting in order to murder.

    The other accused in the case are Lokesh Kumar Solanki, Pankaj Sharma, Sumit Chaudhary, Ankit Chaudhary, Prince, Jatin Sharma, Vivek Panchal, Himanshu Thakur, Sahil, Sandeep and Tinku Arora.

    In his bail plea, Chaudhary said he was arrested on the basis of the disclosure statement of the main accused Solanki but no recovery was effected from his possession and he was never related to Kattar Hindu Ekta’ WhatsApp group, directly or indirectly.

    Chaudhary’s counsel said the applicant is a student of graduation aged 22 years and no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping him in jail.

    The name of the WhatsApp group had surfaced in a supplementary charge sheet filed by the Delhi Police against nine accused, including Chaudhary, for the alleged murder of a man named Hashim Ali during the riots.

    According to the charge sheet, ‘Kattar Hindu Ekta’ group was created on February 25. Its alleged aim was to exact revenge for the troubles faced by Hindus and promote enmity between different groups on the ground of religion. It allegedly acted in a way which was prejudicial to maintenance of harmony.

    In the excerpts from the chats exchanged by the group filed in the charge sheet dated September 26, 2020, one of the members claimed RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) activists had come to support them.

    Communal clashes had broken out in North East Delhi on February 24 between the supporters and opponents of the new citizenship law. The violence soon spiralled out of control leaving at least 53 people dead and around 200 injured.

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday reserved an order on the bail pleas of Bhima Koregaon case accused Vernon Gonsalves and Arun Ferreira, lodged in jail since August 2018.

    A division bench of Justices Aniruddha Bose and Sudhanshu Dhulia reserved the order after both parties concluded the arguments.

    Gonsalves and Ferreira had approached the Supreme Court against an order by which the Bombay High Court denied them default bail, even as the same benefit was granted to another co-accused, Sudha Bharadwaj.

    In 2018 FIR was lodged in Pune in relation to certain offences in the Bhima Koregaon case.
