Delhi Excise policy case: Manish Sisodia urges CBI to defer questioning

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Sunday urged the CBI to defer his questioning till the last week of February in connection with the Delhi Excise Policy case as he is busy finalising the city budget.
Sisodia had been called for questioning on Sunday in connection with the case, nearly three months after a charge sheet was filed in the matter, officials said.
The AAP leader has not been named as an accused in the charge sheet as the investigation against him and other suspects is still going on.
“I have written to the CBI and asked for time for February last week as I am finalising the budget of Delhi and it is a crucial time. I have told them that I will come after the last week of February,” he told reporters.
It’s my duty as finance minister to present the budget on time and I have been working 24 hours for it. I have requested the CBI to allow me to come after the last week of February and answer all their questions, he told reporters.
The deputy chief minister in the Aam Aadmi Party government, who also held the charge of the Excise department, was earlier questioned on October 17 last year and his home and bank lockers were also searched in connection with the case.

BJP has already made EC, ED and CBI their election toolkits: Priyanka Chaturvedi

[ad_1]
Maharashtra: Uddhav Thackeray faction leader Priyanka Chaturvedi, Manisha Kayande and others arrived at ‘Matoshree’ in Mumbai today.
Manisha Kayande and others arrived at ‘Matoshree’ after the Election Commission of India (ECI) ordered that the party name “Shiv Sena” and the party symbol “Bow and Arrow” will be given to the Eknath Shinde faction.
“It’s surprising to see independent agencies like EC, which was set up to protect democracy and legislation, stooping so low and taking sides of those who’ve betrayed a political party. ECI is an ‘Entirely Compromised Institution of India’, said Uddhav Thackeray faction leader Priyanka Chaturvedi.
“BJP has already made EC, ED and CBI their election toolkits and now their next aim is the judiciary. Law Minister and Rajya Sabha chairman keep challenging the judiciary. So it is Supreme Court’s responsibility to protect democracy,” Priyanka added.
Previously, on Friday Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Chief Sharad Pawar remarked on the loss of the “bow and arrow” symbol of his ally Uddhav Thackeray faction, stating that it would not have any major impact.
He also stressed that the people would accept the new symbol.
The NCP chief asked Thackeray to accept the Election Commission’s decision and take a new symbol.
“It’s the decision of the Election Commission. Once a decision is given, there can be no discussion. Accept it and take a new symbol. It (the loss of the old symbol) is not going to have any major impact as people will accept (the new symbol). It just would remain in the discussion for the next 15-30 days, that’s it,” Pawar said.

Manish Sisodia called for questioning by CBI in Delhi Excise Policy case

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The CBI has called Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia for questioning in connection with the Delhi Excise Policy case nearly three months after filing the charge sheet in the case, officials said Saturday.
Sisodia, called on Sunday for questioning, has not been named as accused in the charge sheet, they said.
Arrested businessmen Vijay Nair and Abhishek Boinpally were among the seven accused named in the charge sheet.
It is alleged the Delhi government’s policy to grant licences to liquor traders favoured certain dealers who had allegedly paid bribes for it, a charge strongly refuted by the AAP.
“It was further alleged that irregularities were committed including in modifications in Excise Policy, extending undue favours to the licensees, waiver/reduction in licence fee, extension of L-1 license without approval etc.
“It was also alleged that illegal gains on count of these acts were diverted to concerned public servants by private parties by making false entries in their books of accounts,” the CBI spokesperson had said.

Teachers’ recruitment scam: CBI arrests third middleman

[ad_1]
Kolkata: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probing the multi-crore teachers’ recruitment irregularities scam in West Bengal arrested another middleman — Chandan Mondal aka Ranjan — in connection with the scam on Friday.
Mondal is the third middleman who has been arrested by the CBI after it started probing the matter in 2022, the other two being Prasanna Kumar Roy and Pradeep Singh.
Roy is the husband of the niece of former West Bengal Education Minister Partha Chatterjee, who is currently in judicial custody for his alleged involvement in the scam.
Sources said Mondal came to CBI’s Nizam Palace office in Kolkata on Friday after being summoned by the agency for questioning.
After hours of questioning, sources said, the CBI officials decided to take him into custody after he refused to cooperate in revealing information.
He was presented at a special CBI court in Kolkata on Friday afternoon, which remanded him to four-day CBI custody.
Mondal’s name surfaced for the first time when ex-state minister Upen Biswas, who is also a former joint director of the CBI, revealed his name through a video message posted on social media.
In his message, Biswas said that Mondal was responsible for offering several teaching and non-teaching jobs in state-run schools against payment of money.

Since then, Mondal was questioned by the CBI from time to time, but he was not taken into custody.
Meanwhile, after receiving the information of Mondal’s arrest, Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay of the Calcutta High Court, whose order prompted the CBI to launch its probe into the teachers’ recruitment scam, described it as a “very late step” by the CBI.
“What will happen with his arrest now? Nothing will happen. The investigation has been going on for the last seven to eight months. What result will his arrest now yield,” Justice Gangopadhyay asked.

Cattle scam: CBI traces 346 fake bank accounts used to divert crime proceeds

[ad_1]
Kolkata: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probing the multi-crore cattle smuggling scam in West Bengal has traced as many as 346 fake bank accounts opened in the name of third parties with a district cooperative bank in Birbhum for the purpose of diversion of the scam proceeds to different channels.
Sources said that during the course of investigation, it has also been revealed that these accounts were opened in the names of individuals coming from marginalised families in the districts whose identity proofs like Aadhaar card were collected assuring them of getting enrolled for different welfare schemes of the state government.
The CBI officers personally went to the residences of these individuals in whose names these accounts were opened and all of them informed the central agency that they had no knowledge of the existence of such bank accounts in their names.
These 346 accounts were detected by the CBI in three phases in the last few months. The CBI detected 177 such accounts in the first phase, followed by 54 in the second phase and 115 accounts in the third phase.
The manager of the district cooperative bank where such accounts were held was also questioned by the CBI, who admitted that he was forced to allow opening of such accounts following instructions from the higher authorities.
Meanwhile, Trinamool Congress strongman and the party’s Birbhum district President, Anubrata Mondal, will be presented before a special CBI court in Asansol on Friday, where the central agency’s counsel is expected to present the details in this matter to the court.
Mondal is in custody as the prime accused in the cattle smuggling scam.
On Thursday, a CBI team went to the Asansol Special Correctional Home where Mondal is housed and questioned him in the matter. However, sources said that as usual, the accused did not cooperate with the agency and denied having any knowledge of such bank accounts.
