[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: National Investigation Agency on Thursday said that it has filed chargehseet against two members of Lashkar-i-Toiba oufit in connection with the Udhampur blast case.
NIA spokesman said that following through on investigations into the Udhampur IED blast cases by the LeT through their Pak based handlers, NIA filed a chargesheet against 2 LeT operatives today.
The spokesman further stated that Aslam Sheikh alias Adil and Mohd Amin Bhat alias Abu Khubaib alias Pinna have been charged for their efforts towards revival of militant activities in Jammu by carrying out recruitments from the pool of OGWs and surrendered militants and activating & motivating them to carry out militant acts.
NIA had taken over investigations into the case in 15th of November 2022 from Jammu & Kashmir Police, he said.
NIA Investigations revealed that Mohd Aslam Sheikh alias Adil was in touch with Mohd Amin Bhatalias Pinna, an ‘individual militant’ of the LeT listed by Government of India, who was now operating from Pakistan. Pinna recruited Adil to carry out the two IED blasts on buses parked in the public areas of Udhampur District of J&K, which had inflicted injuries to two persons, he said.
Mohd Amin Bhat was initially a resident of Doda district in J&K. In 1997, he joined the terrorist ranks of Hizb Ul Mujahideen and was involved in the execution of various militant acts in J&K. He escaped to Pakistan in 2009 and is presently an active LeT handler who is playing a vital role to revive and accelerate terrorist activities in the Jammu region of J&K, he said.
Adil collected the explosives consignment delivered by Pinna’s associates from across the border in Kathua sector. Pinna used drones and dead drop method for this delivery. Pinna trained Adil in cyberspace on how to prime the IEDs. On 28th September, Adil planted 2 IEDs in two different buses, which were plying between Basnatgarh and Udhampur. One blast took place around midnight on 28th and the other in the early hours of 29th September, he said.
After his arrest, Adil made disclosures about hoarding of explosives for future attacks. Two more IEDs, three Sticky bombs, three detonators and two PTD timers were recovered from Adil’s residence. These were part of the consignment that was delivered from Pakistan, he said.

NIA unravelled all these facts and has filed a chargesheet on 28th against Mohd Aslam Sheikh and Mohd Amin Bhat under sections 120B, 121A, 122, 307 and 407 of IPC, sections 3 &4 of the Explosives Substances Act, 1908 and sections 16, 18, 18B, 20, 23, 38 & 39 of the UA (P) Act, 1967, reads the statement.

Udhampur Blast Case: NIA Files Chargesheet Against Two LeT Operatives

CBI files fresh chargesheet against Mehul Choksi

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Months after Interpol removed a Red Corner Notice (RCN) against fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi, the CBI has filed a fresh chargesheet against him for allegedly pledging lab-grown diamonds valued at 98 percent less than what was projected for getting a loan of Rs 25 crore from the IFCI in 2016, officials said.
In its chargesheet filed before a special CBI court in Mumbai recently, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) alleged that Choksi’s firm Gitanjali Gems took the loan from the Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI) by pledging 896 pieces of studded jewellery, which were valued at more than Rs 45 crore by government-approved valuers.
Once the loan account turned a non-performing asset (NPA), the IFCI moved to realise the pledged jewellery, but came to a rude shock after fresh valuations showed that their value was 98 percent less than what was projected at the time of applying for the loan, the officials said.
The fresh valuation done by the IFCI pegged the value of the jewellery in the range of Rs 70 lakh to Rs 2 crore, the chargesheet said.
“The valuers said the diamonds are of low quality and are lab-prepared chemical vapour diamonds and other inferior colour stones and not real gem stones. Accordingly, the account of Gitanjali Gems Limited was declared as fraud on November 30, 2018,” the chargesheet accessed by PTI said.
The opinion of the valuers gathered by the CBI during the probe also put the value of 896 pieces of jewellery in the range of Rs 69.32 lakh to Rs 76.99 lakh, the officials said.
The CBI recently filed a chargesheet against Gitanjali Gems, its former director and guarantor Choksi, government-approved valuers Narendra Jhaveri, Pradip C Shah, Shrenik Shah and Keyur Mehta, assistant vice-president of the company Vipul Chitalia and its assistant general manager Aniyath Shivraman Nair, they said.
Giving details of the money trail, the federal agency alleged that Rs 25 crore received by Gitanjali Gems on September 30, 2016 from the IFCI were diverted to Premier Intertrade through a cheque signed by Chitalia and Nair on the same day.

It alleged that the company, Premier Intertrade, existed only on paper with dummy partners and employees of Gitanjali Gems as signatories.
The whole amount was reverted to Gitanjali Gems in three tranches, the CBI said, adding that the entire exercise was carried out to change the “colour of the money”.
Choksi allegedly used Rs 20 crore to settle the foreign letter of credit (FLC) issued in favour of Hong Kong-based 4C’s Diamonds Distributors. The investigation showed that the Hong Kong-based firm was also controlled by Choksi and had no genuine business transactions with Gitanjali Gems.
The money was again routed back to Gitanjali Gems, the agency alleged.
The remaining Rs 5 crore were used to repay a fraudulent letter of undertaking (LoU) in the Punjab National Bank (PNB), discharge outstanding liabilities of Gitanjali Gems and towards miscellaneous expenses, the CBI alleged.
An independent body of lawyers under Interpol — the Commission for Control of Interpol’s Files (CCF) — removed Choksi’s name from theN list in November 2022 and it came as a major setback to the CBI. The removal of the notice means Choksi can now freely travel out of Antigua and Barbuda, where he is holed up after fleeing from India in 2018.
Choksi is accused of siphoning off more than Rs 6,344.96 crore from the PNB, using fraudulent LoUs and FLCs.
Officials at the PNB’s Brady House branch in Mumbai issued 165 LoUs and 58 FLCs during March-April 2017, against which 311 bills were discounted.
These LoUs and FLCs were allegedly issued to Choksi’s firms without any sanctioned limit or cash margin and without making entries in the bank’s central banking system to evade any scrutiny in case of a default.
LoUs are a guarantee given by a bank on behalf of its clients to a foreign bank. If a client does not repay to the foreign bank, the liability falls on the guarantor bank.
Based on these LoUs issued by the PNB, money was lent by State Bank of India-Mauritius, Allahabad Bank-Hong Kong, Axis Bank-Hong Kong, Bank of India-Antwerp, Canara Bank-Mamana and SBI-Frankfurt.
“Since the accused companies did not repay the amount availed against the said fraudulent LoUs and FLCs, the PNB made the payment of Rs 6,344.97 crore (USD 965.18 million), including the overdue interest, to the overseas banks, which had advanced buyer’s credit and discounted the bills against the fraudulent LoUs and FLCs issued by the PNB,” the CBI’s supplementary chargesheet in the PNB bank fraud case had alleged.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui files defamation suit in Bombay HC seeking Rs 100 cr damages from his ex-wife, brother

[ad_1]
Mumbai: Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has filed a defamation suit in the Bombay High Court seeking Rs 100 crore damages from his former wife Aaliya alias Zainab Siddiqui and his brother Shamasuddin Siddiqui accusing them of making defamatory and false statements against him.
The suit is likely to be heard on March 30 by a single bench of Justice Riyaz Chagla.
The actor, embroiled in a matrimonial dispute with his former wife, requested the HC to permanently restrain Aaliya and his brother from making any statements or remarks that would defame him.
He also sought a written apology from his former wife and brother.
As per the suit, Nawazuddin had appointed Shamasuddin as his manager in 2008 and “blindly” assigned all financial work to him.
However, Shamasuddin started cheating and defrauding Nawazuddin and purchased properties using the actor’s money, the suit alleged.
It added that when the actor learnt about the fraud and raised queries, Shamasuddin instigated Aaliya to file a false case against Nawazuddin. The actor claimed Aaliya and Shamsuddin have misappropriated Rs 21 crore from him.
When Nawazuddin demanded that properties be returned to him, Shamasuddin and Aaliya joined hands and started blackmailing the actor by uploading “cheap videos and comments on social media”, the suit said.

[ad_1]
Srinagar, March 21: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday said that it has filed the first supplementary Chargesheet against one militant associate of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen oufit in militancy Conspiracy Case.
In a handout to GNS, the NIA said that the case pertains to the conspiracy hatched by the proscribed militant organisations, such as Lashkar-e-Toida (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammaed(JeM), Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), alongwith their frontal organisations, such as TRF, PAFF etc and their Over Ground Workers operating in Jammu and Kashmir to undertake violent militant action in Kashmir valley and in other major cities of India, including Delhi.
According to NIA spokesman, investigations in the case had earlier established the connections of Commanders of these proscribed organisations based in Pakistan with their operatives in Kashmir valley to recruit and train the youth in handling of arms and explosives. They had floated a lot of propaganda material in cyberspace to talent-spot and recruit these individuals who then function as Sleeper cells and cause militant incidents, including targeted killings, acting in small groups or lone wolf actors. 26 persons have been earlier chargesheeted in the case, which include Pakistan based ‘listed individual militants’ Bashir Ahmed Peer @ Imtiyaz Alam and Imitiyaz [email protected] Fayaz Sopore.

He is a dealer in handicrafts and was based out of Pokhra, Nepal. He was found to be channelizing funds for proscribed militant organisations in the garb of legitimate trade of Kashmiri handicrafts. The profits accrued from the sale of the handicrafts were then sent to Kashmir valley through Hawala channels and distributed amongst the militants operating in the Valley through another chargesheeted over ground worker. The Chargesheet has been filed against Md. Rafi Najar on 20.03.2023 under various sections of IPC and UA(P)Act., reads the statement.(GNS)

Teachers’ scam: CBI files fresh FIR against anonymous beneficiaries

[ad_1]
Kolkata: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a fresh FIR in West Bengal’s multi-crore recruitment scam of teaching and non-teaching staff against anonymous beneficiaries of the proceeds of the scam.
CBI sources said that the fresh FIR has been filed following an instruction from the the bench of Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay of Calcutta High Court.
“Justice Gangopadhyay gave the instruction considering that names of more brains behind the scam are yet to surface. Hence, as per instruction, we have filed a fresh FIR in the matter naming anonymous beneficiaries,” a CBI source said.
The source also said that it has been mentioned in the FIR that these anonymous beneficiaries include some insiders in the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC).
As per initial estimates of the CBI, a total of 16,500 individuals, which included both teaching and non- teaching staff, were appointed illegally against monetary considerations.
During a hearing in the matter on March 2, Justice Gangopadhyay pointed out that in 2014, an entity named S. Basu Roy got the contract for evaluation of the answer sheets of candidates appearing for the written examination. He also said that that the charge is that there had been irregularities in the evaluation process where ineligible candidates were granted higher marks.
Justice Gangopadhyay directed the CBI to investigate the reasons behind giving so many important assignments to that entity and why the said entity had access to the confidential section of the WBSSC.
CBI sources said that all the members of the WBSSC’s the-then ad hoc committee responsible for giving these assignments to the said entity will be summoned and questioned by the central agency sleuths and if necessary, will be taken into custody.

On March 2, Justice Gangopadhyay also directed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to become part of the investigation on this count.

ED files caveat in SC on K Kavitha’s plea challenging summons against her

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a caveat application in the Supreme Court on the Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K Kavitha’s plea challenging the summons issued by the probe agency against her in connection to Delhi excise policy case.
A Caveat application is filed by a litigant to ensure that no adverse order is passed against them without being heard.
Kavitha, who is the daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, has approached the Supreme court saying that as per norms, a woman cannot be summoned for questioning before ED in office and her questioning should take place at her residence.
On March 15, the Supreme Court agreed to hear Kavitha’s plea challenging the summons of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 24.
ED has asked the MLC to appear again before it on March 16, but she did not appear citing that her plea is pending in SC.
The court has agreed to hear her petition on March 24 in connection with a money laundering case related to the alleged irregularities in the Delhi excise policy case.
The advocate for Kavitha said that a woman is now being summoned by ED for questioning and that it is “completely against the law”.
Kavitha’s lawyer mentioned the plea before a bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and sought an urgent hearing on her petitions. The court agreed to list it on March 24.

The court asked what was the urgency in the matter, and the lawyer replied that Kavitha has been asked to appear before ED tomorrow.
In a petition filed through advocate Vandana Sehgal, Kavitha has urged the top court to quash the ED summons dated March 7 and 11, stating that asking her to appear before the agency office instead of her residence is contrary to the settled tenets of criminal jurisprudence and thus, wholly unsustainable in law being violative of the Proviso to Section 160 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973.
She has also sought that all procedures carried out by ED, including those in relation to the recording of statements be audio or videographed in the presence of her lawyer at a visible distance inter-alia by way of installation of appropriate CCTV cameras.
She has also sought to set aside impounding order dated March 11, 2023, and declare the seizure made thereunder null and void.
In the petition, she said, “Despite the petitioner, Kavitha not being named in the FIR, certain members of the incumbent ruling political party at the centre made scandalous statements linking the petitioner to the Delhi Excise Policy and the said FIR.”
“The political conspiracy against the petitioner (K Kavitha) unfortunately did not end with judicial intervention by way of the Suit. The Enforcement Directorate filed a remand application qua one of the accused on November 30, 2022, before the concerned Court. This remand application contained the personal contact details of the petitioner. There was no rhyme or reason to include the personal contact details of the petitioner in a remand application which did not even concern the petitioner. The act is all the more egregious considering the petitioner is a lady,” BRS leader said.
“The subsequent events are extremely shameful and in the belief of the petitioner, were orchestrated by the Enforcement Directorate at the behest of the members of the incumbent ruling party at the centre, as part of a larger conspiracy against the petitioner,” she said.
K Kavitha further added that the said remand application containing the contact details of the Petitioner was leaked to the media and the public.
“The remand application was shared extensively over social media. Such an act is petty, illegal, and an unfortunate reflection upon the malicious conduct of the Enforcement Directorate in consonance with the political party in power at centre,” Kavitha said.
She also said that ED has also denied her request seeking to be examined at her residence, and the probe agency made a categorical statement that “there is no provision under the PMLA for the recording of statements at any persons’ residence”.
“That immediately thereafter on March 8, 2023, at 11:03 pm, the Petitioner sent an email asserting her rights to be examined at her residence. However, the Petitioner after reserving her rights intimated to the Respondent that she will appear before them on March 11, 2023,” Kavitha added.

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.

Hunter Biden files response against computer repair shop owner

[ad_1]

Mac Isaac claims the laptop and external hard drive became his property in 2019 when Biden didn’t retrieve the items within 90 days after leaving them at the shop, which attorneys for Biden are challenging. The repair shop owner claims Biden defamed him by saying he had illegally accessed the data.
Attorneys for Biden claimed that Mac Isaac did not act responsibly with the data found on the laptop and hard drive.
”Reputable computer companies and repair people routinely delete personal data contained on devices that are exchanged, left behind or abandoned,” the filing reads. ”They do not open, copy, and then provide that data to others, as Mac Isaac did here.”
Mac Isaac turned the laptop and external hard drive over to the FBI in 2019 and attempted to share the information from the devices with former President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.
Biden’s lawyers are also seeking depositions from Steve Bannon and Giuliani in the suit.
Biden doesn’t confirm in the filing that the laptop is his. “Mr. Biden is without knowledge sufficient to admit or deny the allegations,” the filing states.
The data from the laptop became a point of interest after stories were published by the New York Post before the 2020 election.
POLITICO has not authenticated the Biden hard drive files that underpinned an October 2020 New York Post story, but POLITICO reporter Ben Schreckinger confirmed the authenticity of some emails on the drive in a 2021 book.

Last year, Mac Isaac sued POLITICO, CNN, Hunter Biden, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and the Biden presidential campaign committee for defamation and civil conspiracy in state court in Delaware. Earlier this month, the federal government stepped in for Schiff and removed the case to federal court in Wilmington, arguing that the suit pertains to acts he took in his official capacity as a member of Congress.
Friday’s filing comes as Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chair of the House Oversight Committee, prepares an investigation into Biden. The suit is also part of a broader campaign of legal pushback from Biden’s attorneys, warning those involved in publicizing assertions about his laptop computer that they could face unspecified litigation over their claims.
The Justice Department is reported to be in the final stages of deciding whether to bring criminal charges against Hunter Biden in connection with alleged tax offenses and his alleged failure to disclose his status as a drug user when applying to buy a handgun in 2018.

Hyderabad: NIA files supplementary charge sheet against five PFI ‘members’

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency has filed a supplementary charge sheet against five members of Popular Front of India (PFI) for allegedly provoking and radicalising impressionable Muslim youths, recruiting them and imparting weapons training in specifically organized training camps.
In its supplementary charge sheet filed before a special court in Hyderabad on Thursday, the agency has invoked criminal conspiracy, promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion and provisions of the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act against Shaik Raheem, Shaik Vahaid Ali, Jafrulla Khan Pathan, Shaik Riyaz Ahmed and Abdul Waris.
“The accused persons charged yesterday are trained PFI cadre who were found involved in provoking and radicalising impressionable Muslim youth, recruiting them into the PFI and imparting weapons training in specifically organized PFI training camps,” the NIA spokesperson said.
She said the aim was to carry out violent terrorist activities in furtherance of the conspiracy to establish Islamic rule in the country by 2047.
“These PFI cadre misinterpreted religious texts and proclaimed that a violent form of Jihad was necessary to alleviate the sufferings of Muslims in India. Once recruited into the PFI, the Muslim youth were sent to the training camps organised by the accused PFI cadre where they were trained in the use of lethal weapons to kill their ‘targets’ by attacking their vital body parts such as throat, stomach, head etc,” the agency said.
The NIA had in August last year taken over from the Telangana Police investigation into the case of alleged criminal conspiracy hatched by PFI leaders and cadre to recruit and radicalise youth and organise training camps to put them through arms training for carrying acts of terror and violence.
It filed the first charge sheet against 11 accused in the case in December last year, they said.
“On completion of further investigations into the case pertaining to the criminal conspiracy hatched by PFI leaders and cadre to recruit and radicalise youth and organise training camps to put them through arms training for carrying acts of terror and violence, the National Investigation Agency filed a supplementary charge sheet on March 16, 2023, against five accused in NIA Special Court, Hyderabad in the Nizamabad PFI case,” the NIA spokesperson said.

The agency said the PFI and its many affiliates were declared an ‘unlawful association’ by the Union Home Ministry in September 2022 after its involvement in violent activities came to light during investigations carried out by various state police and national agencies.
