ED’s special public prosecutor Nitesh Rana resigns from agency

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Advocate Nitesh Rana on Saturday resigned as the special public prosecutor of the Enforcement Directorate, citing personal reasons.
As a special public prosecutor since 2015, Rana represented the federal agency in several high-profile cases, including those against former Union finance minister P Chidambaram, Congress leader D K Shivakumar, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad and his family, TMC leader Abhishek Banarjee, and Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress leader Sonia Gandhi.
Rana said his office will inform the court about the situation till the time some arrangements are made by the Enforcement Directorate.
He represented the agency in matters such as the Jammu and Kashmir terror finding case against the Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hizbul Mujahideen and in cases against terrorists like Hafiz Saeed and Syed Salahuddin.
He also represented the agency in high-profile matters such as the Air India “scam”, money laundering cases against Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi and Bhushan Power and Steel, Ranbaxy-Religare fraud, Sterling Biotech scam and the West Bengal cattle smuggling case.
The Forbes Magazine selected Rana in its “Legal Powerlist of 2020”.
Rana, 44, also represented the ED in court in the United Kingdom in money laundering probe-related proceedings.

US federal agency funds methane capture project India

[ad_1]
Washington: A federal US agency has approved grant funding for a feasibility study to develop a coal mine methane (CMM) recovery facility in the Jharia coalfield in Jharkhand, said to be the first of its kind in India.
The US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) said on Thursday that to support efforts by the Prabha Energy Private Limited (PEPL) to develop a coal mine methane (CMM) recovery facility in the Jharia coalfield, it approved grant funding for a feasibility study.
Virginia-based Advanced Resources International has been selected to carry out the study, a press release by the USTDA said.
“USTDA is pleased to collaborate with PEPL on this project, which presents a tremendous opportunity to strengthen India’s energy resilience and sustainability using innovative technology that US companies can readily provide,” USTDA Director, Enoh T. Ebong, said.
“This project will prevent the direct release of methane, a harmful greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere. This will have a positive climate impact on India and the world,” Ebong added.
According to the press release, the USTDA-funded feasibility study will develop recommendations on extracting, gathering, compressing, and processing CMM at the Jharia site while using innovative US technologies and solutions. By capturing the CMM, the project has the dual benefit of preventing methane emissions and providing local industries with a cleaner fuel alternative to coal.
“PEPL is pleased to partner with USTDA and ARI on the potential capture of methane gas from the Jharia coal mine in India,” CEO & Director of PEPL, Prem Sawhney, said.
“This project, which is the first of its kind in India, will increase India’s domestic gas resources while also creating avenues for US equipment and technology suppliers,” Sawhney added.

The study advances the goals of the federal agency’s Global Partnership for Climate-Smart Infrastructure to support the use of US technologies and services in overseas climate-smart infrastructure projects and that of the US-India Strategic Clean Energy Partnership’s Responsible Oil and Gas Pillar.
The project also supports the Biden Administration’s commitment to the Global Methane Pledge to reduce global methane emissions and limit global warming, the USTDA said.

Pak probe agency accuses Imran of misusing interim bail

[ad_1]
Islamabad: Pakistans Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Saturday accused PTI Chairman Imran Khan of “misusing” his interim bail to skip court hearings as it petitioned a banking court hearing his prohibited funding case to form a medical board to examine the former Prime Minister, media reports said.
The FIA had in October 2022 booked Khan and other PTI leaders in connection with their party allegedly receiving prohibited funding, Dawn reported.
The case was filed by the state through FIA’s Corporate Banking Circle in Islamabad.
Later, a special court in Islamabad had granted him an interim bail, in which he kept getting an extension on medical grounds, after he received bullet wounds in an assassination bid at a rally in Wazirabad on Nov 3 last year, Dawn reported.
In a fresh application filed with Islamabad’s banking court today, the FIA said a bail application filed by Imran was pending before the court.
“After getting an interim bail, the accused is misusing the concession and not appearing before this honourable court and in fact, he is not cooperating with the process of law and till date, neither he joined the investigation nor he is appearing before the court on one pretext or the other,” the agency said, Dawn reported.
It also said that a “stereotype medical certificate” was being presented from a cancer hospital, “although the petitioner alleges he has issues related to orthopedic”.
The FIA pointed out that the medical report presented by Khan was issued by a hospital which was owned by him, “thus the said reports are otherwise not credible”, Dawn reported.

The agency said, “The principles of fair play and justice requires that the accused is to be examined by the board of expert doctors on the subject from PIMS or polyclinic and if their reports can be entertained.”
“It is respectfully prayed that order of the constitution of a medical board and examination of accused may graciously be passed and said board may kindly be directed to submit report qua physical health or mobility of accused in the light of injuries claimed by him on his leg in the best interest of justice,” the FIA said in its prayer to the court.

Indian govt’s popular news agency ANI makes up sources, experts: Report

[ad_1]
EU Disinfo Lab, a non profit based in Brussels has criticised ANI (Asian News International), a popular Indian news agency for allegedly using quotes and statements from made-up think tanks and experts. EU DisinfoLab, specialises in weeding out disinformation campaigns.
In their new report, “Bad Sources: How Indian news agency ANI quoted sources that do not exist”, they pulled up the organisation for referencing personalities and groups which were allegedly made up.
The EU DisinfoLab research, released on Thursday, is the third in a series of reports on a purported Delhi-based Srivastava Group-amplified Indian influence network based on fictitious NGOs and experts that were published in 2019 and 2020.
The most recent investigation focuses on the website of the International Forum for Rights and Security, a think tank with Canadian roots (IFFRAS). Around 200 times between May 2021 and January 2023, ANI cited IFFRAS.
Though IFFRAS was dissolved in 2014, its website remained online and was being updated. EU DisinfoLab said that the same IP address hosted the IFFRAS website and other websites from the Srivastava group.
The report said that when it tried to trace the speakers mentioned on the website, they discovered that they were mostly non-existent.
“Our guess is that the sole purpose of the IFFRAS is to produce content that can be covered by ANI and then republished widely throughout the Indian press,” said the report.
The EU DisinfoLab researchers also looked into other foreign experts at ‘think tanks’ that were mentioned by ANI.

They discovered the Policy Research Group (POREG), whose “geopolitical specialists” were frequently cited by ANI on topics including Chinese foreign policy and Pakistan’s army doctrines.
According to the study, despite repeated attempts to reach these experts—names like “James Duglous Crickton,” “Magda Lipan,” or “Ms. Valentin Popescu,” depending on the spelling—they did not appear to be available.
A third organisation that ANI began quoting findings from in 2021, was the Center of Political and Foreign Affairs (CPFA), a research group with French roots that is legitimately registered in Hong Kong. However, ANI was also disseminating information that EU DisinfoLab “could not attribute to genuine individuals” in addition to the CPFA team’s reliable findings.
The latest EU DisinfoLab report was released in conjunction with the “Story Killers” project to investigate the disinformation-for-hire-industry. Coordinated by French non-profit Forbidden Stories, the project hopes to continue the work of slain journalist Gauri Lankesh.
