    NIA files chargesheet against 19 more PFI leaders

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday filed a chargesheet against 19 more leaders of the banned organisation Popular Front of India (PFI) in a case related to a criminal conspiracy aimed at destabilising the country, an official said.

    This is the fifth chargesheet filed by the NIA in connection with the matter this month.

    “The investigation has exposed a trail of funding by the PFI to its terror operatives and weapons trainers across the country, both in cash and through regular bank transfers, in the guise of payment of salaries. All these PFI trainers have been arrested in cases registered either by the NIA or by different state police forces,” the NIA has alleged in the chargesheet.

    An official said the NIA also froze 37 bank accounts of the PFI as well as 40 other bank accounts belonging to its 19 leaders.

    The official said that a criminal conspiracy was hatched by PFI to divide the country on communal lines.

    The NIA also learnt that “the ultimate objective of the conspiracy was to overthrow the existing system of secular and democratic governance in India and replace it with an Islamic Caliphate, along with Shariah/Islamic Law”.

    The NIA said that PFI had devised a well-planned strategy to wage “an armed struggle against the Government of India by radicalising and recruiting Muslim youth who had already pledged their allegiance to the PFI and its ideology and tactics through administration of the oath of secrecy and loyalty (bayath)”.

    According to the NIA, “these highly radicalised men were being trained in the use of arms and weapons in various ‘Arms Training Camps’ being conducted by PFI across the country with the intention of raising a well-trained ‘PFI Army’. PFI had hatched plans for its Army to wage a war to disintegrate and dismember the Indian Republic”.

    Officials said the PFI’s activities included empowerment of Muslims and marginalised sections of society through campaigns and so-called social welfare schemes, in the guise of which the organisation was promoting its anti-India and violent agenda.

  • ED files charge-sheet in ‘Halal’ investment scheme fraud

    ED files charge-sheet in ‘Halal’ investment scheme fraud

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) said on Wednesday said that it has filed a charge-sheet before a special court in Bengaluru against Injaz International and its partners, Misbahuddin S. and Suhail Ahmed Sheriff, in a case related to defrauding people by luring them to invest in a ‘Halal’ investment scheme.

    The accused had promised high returns on the scheme offered by the firm. However, they even failed to repay the principal amount invested by the depositors.

    The ED had initiated a money laundering probe on the basis of an FIR registered by the Wilson Garden police station in Bengaluru against Injaz International and its associated group under various sections of the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, Indian Penal Code, and Chit Funds Act.

    “ED probe revealed that Injaz International was neither able to keep up with the returns owed to its investors against the investments made by them, nor was it able to repay the amounts already invested with it. Injaz International lured the public into investing by promising unrealistic returns against their investments and later duped them of such investments and never returned the hard-earned money of the common public,” the ED alleged.

    An ED official said that Misbahuddin S. and Suhail Ahmed Sheriff diverted funds to the extent of Rs 81 crore into the purchase of immovable properties and other business entities operated by them as well as their associates.

    Misbahuddin was arrested by the ED on November 15, 2022, and is presently in judicial custody.

  • Filing chargesheet in each case lodged under SC-ST Act not mandatory: Allahabad HC

    Filing chargesheet in each case lodged under SC-ST Act not mandatory: Allahabad HC

    [ad_1]

    Lucknow: The Allahabad High Court on Friday said it is not mandatory to file a chargesheet in each case lodged under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act after an FIR is registered in the matter.

    “The intention of the legislature is that the investigating officer would file the chargesheet, if, during the probe, he finds adequate evidence against the accused,” the Lucknow bench of the court said.

    A bench of Justices Rajan Rai and SK Pachauri passed the order on a petition filed by Gyanendra Maurya. Dismissing the petition, the bench said the legislative intent has to be understood logically.

    The petitioner had challenged certain provisions of the Act, saying those should be struck down as those mandate that once an FIR is registered, the investigating officer is bound to submit a chargesheet.
