NIA files charge sheets against 68 PFI leaders in Kerala, TN cases

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday said that they have filed two charge sheets against a total of 68 Popular Front of India (PFI) leaders, cadres and members in two separate cases in Kochi (Kerala) and Chennai (Tamil Nadu).
The NIA filed the first charge sheet against the PFI members in Jaipur on March 13 and the second in Hyderabad on March 16.
The charge sheets filed on Friday in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, the two states where PFI is the most active, relate to separate criminal conspiracies hatched by the PFI to create a wedge between people of different communities through radicalisation of impressionable Muslim youth, providing them with training in handling of weapons, and raising funds for carrying out acts of terror and violence with the ultimate objective of establishing an Islamic Rule in India by 2047.
An official said that Kerala PFI case was registered in September 2022 by the NIA to probe the criminal conspiracy hatched by the PFI and its leaders and cadres to create a wedge and between people of different communities through radicalisation of impressionable Muslim youth, training them in handling of weapons and raising funds for carrying out acts of terror and violence with the ultimate objective of establishing an Islamic Rule in India by 2047.
In addition to the above mentioned criminal conspiracy, the NIA, in its Kerala charge sheet, also included the connected case of the brutal killing of a Palakkad resident, Sreenivasan, who was hacked to death by armed PFI cadres.
The NIA investigations had shown some of the accused in the PFI criminal conspiracy case (September 2022) to have been involved in the Sreenivasan killing too.
The accused in the two charge sheets filed on Friday were charged under various sections of IPC, the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the Arms Act.
In the Kerala case, registered in September 2022, the charge sheet has been filed in the Special Court in Ernakulam, against the PFI as well as an organisation and its 58 leaders.

The NIA had arrested 16 of the accused after taking over the case in 2022, while the others were arrested earlier by Kerala Police.
The Kerala charge sheet has been filed after searches were conducted by the NIA at more than 100 locations across the state. The NIA also attached 17 properties as they were identified as ‘proceeds of terrorism’ and frozen 18 bank accounts of the accused during the course of its investigations.
Investigations in the case had revealed that the accused had been conspiring to drive a wedge between different communities and groups living in India, spread the concept of violent extremism and Jihad in India with the objective of dismembering the country and taking it over by establishing Islamic Rule in India by 2047. To achieve these objectives, PFI had established various wings and units, such as ‘Reporters Wing’, ‘Physical and Arms Training Wing’ and ‘Service Teams’.
The NIA investigations also revealed that PFI was using its various campuses, facilities and infrastructure to impart arms training to selected cadres in the guise of Physical Education, Yoga Training etc. They also established a ‘Reporters Wing’ and ‘Service Teams or Hit Teams’ to eliminate their ‘targets’. Whenever required, PFI pressed into service its loyal and highly trained cadres of their ‘Service Teams’, as ‘executioners’ of the orders pronounced by their parallel courts, called ‘Dar-ul-Qaza’.
In a separate case registered and investigated by NIA Branch Office in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, NIA also filed a charge sheet against 10 accused. This case was also registered in September, 2022 to probe the criminal conspiracy, hatched by the PFI and its leaders to divide people based on religious affiliations through radicalisation and weapons-training of impressionable Muslim youth to launch an armed struggle against the Government of India with the objective of establishing Islamic Rule in India by 2047.
The charge sheet, filed before the NIA Special Court Chennai in the Tamil Nadu case, named 10 accused, including Khalid Mohammed, the State Vice President of PFI.
This case was also registered in September 2022, when nine of the accused were arrested by the NIA.
The NIA investigations in the case had shown that the accused had conducted radicalisation programmes to motivate, instigate and recruit gullible Muslim youths, who were then provided weapons training in training camps. PFI cadres used to carry out instructions of PFI office-bearers and leaders to conduct recce and attack adversaries and commit unlawful and violent activities.

Asaram files appeal in Gujarat HC against conviction in rape case

[ad_1]
Ahmedabad: The Gujarat High Court on Thursday admitted to hearing an appeal filed by self-styled godman Asaram against a recent trial court order convicting him of rape.
The Gandhinagar sessions court in January this year sentenced Asaram to life imprisonment in a rape case, based on a complaint filed by a former woman disciple in 2013.
A division bench of Justices S H Vora and Mauna Bhatt heard the appeal briefly on Thursday and admitted it for final hearing.
The sessions court convicted Asaram of rape, unnatural offences and wrongful confinement.
A woman disciple from Surat had alleged that Asaram raped her on several occasions between 2001 to 2007 at his ashram at Motera near Ahmedabad. The 81-year-old `godman’ is currently serving a life sentence in a Jodhpur jail in another case where he was accused of raping a girl at his ashram in Rajasthan in 2013.
In its order, the Gandhinagar court noted that Asaram sexually abused a victim who was younger than his daughter.
“The accused committed a very serious crime against society and such a heinous crime cannot have any place of sympathy and should be punished to the fullest extent prescribed by law…It becomes the moral responsibility not only of the society but also of the court to set an example and prevent such behaviour,” Additional Sessions Judge D K Soni noted in the order.

Delhi Police files chargesheet against Flipkart for selling acid

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The Delhi Police has filed a chargesheet against e-commerce firm Flipkart and its delivery firm Instakart under the Poison Act for selling acid on its website, which was used by three individuals to throw at a 17-year-old girl in December 2022.
The chargesheet has also been filed against three accused who used the acid to attack the girl who was on her way to school. The incident took place in Dwarka’s Mohan Garden area on December 14, 2022.
Speaking with IANS, M. Harsha Vardhan, DCP (Dwarka) said that the chargesheet was filed against Sachin Arora, Harshit Aggarwal a.k.a. Honey and Virender Singh a.k.a. Sonu and two private firms under section 326-A, and 34 120-B of the IPC read with section 4 of Poison Act.
The chargesheet was filed before a Dwarka court judge.
All the three accused are currently in judicial custody.
The Delhi Police is banking on electronic and forensic evidence to collect more information on the matter.
In the forensic report, the acid was found to be ‘Nitric Acid’.
The Delhi Police has mentioned in the chargesheet that the accused also told them that they wanted to buy Nitric Acid, which proves the prosecution (police) story.

After the incident, Delhi Police had sent notice to Flipkart and Instakart, and had asked them regarding compliance of regulations related to the sale of acid.
Sources said that in their reply, they had accepted that it was sold without having proper license.
A 17-year-old girl was attacked by two bike-borne masked assailants in Mohan Garden on December 14 last year when she was on her way to school.
The accused hurled acid at the victim. She had suffered severe burn injuries in the incident.
Later, all the three accused were held.
It was learnt that Sachin and the victim were friends but after their friendship ended, Sachin wanted to teach the girl “a lesson”. Sachin bought the acid and made the payment through an e-wallet.

Man files petition in Supreme court against same marriage sex

[ad_1]
The Supreme Court on Monday directed that a bunch of petitions filed for recognition of same-sex marriages be referred to a five-judge Constitution Bench of the court. Hearing on this issue will begin on April 18. However, amidst this petition a man has filed a similar sounding petition in Supreme Court.
Reportedly, a man has filed a petition in supreme court against same marriage sex, saying that having sex within the same marriage gets boring and couples be allowed to have sex outside the marriage. The man got confused with the trending news of same sex marriage and filed petition in court thinking it’s an equally big matter.
Speaking to The Fauxy, the man said “If court can decide on same sex marriage then why not about same marriage sex? if SC bans same marriage sex, then anyone can have sex with anyone but with their partner, which they already doing, but secretly”
While the sex outside marriage isn’t illegal but can be a valid ground for divorce. Hearing the man’s petition, Supreme Court lambasted the man and put Rs 1 lakh penalty for wasting court’s time.
Reportedly, the man was a playboy in his young age and was forcefully married to a girl by the family. Every-time the man wanted to have sex with different marriage or outside the marriage, his wife asked him for divorce and man is scared of his family getting to know about it.

Santos files paperwork for 2024 reelection bid

[ad_1]

Tuesday’s filing permits Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) to fundraise and spend money on campaign-related expenses. | Francis Chung/POLITICO
New York Rep. George Santos, the embattled freshman Republican who has faced a slew of scandals following his election, has filed paperwork to run again in 2024.
The statement of candidacy filed to the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday — turned in on the final day allowed — keeps the door open for Santos to seek another term but does not guarantee he’ll run. The controversy-stricken lawmaker has yet to officially say whether he’ll try for reelection but has indicated he is open to such a run. The paperwork comes as lawmakers from his own party call for his resignation.
Tuesday’s filing does permit Santos to fundraise and spend money on campaign-related expenses. That could include some $700,000 he lent to his campaign, or legal expenses he could be facing from numerous lawsuits.

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.

Civilian killing: NIA files supplementary charge sheet against Maoist cadre in Bihar

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The NIA on Saturday filed a third supplementary charge sheet against a Maoist cadre who was involved in the killing of a civilian after a “kangaroo court” dubbed him as a police informer in Bihar’s Aurangabad district in 2018, an agency official said on Saturday.
Naresh Singh Bhokta was abducted on November 2 and taken to a “jan adalat or kangaroo court” where the top leadership of the CPI(Maoist) issued instructions to their cadres to kill him after declaring him as a police informer. His body was found near Badhai Bigha village in the Madanpur police station area the same day.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) took over the investigation into the case on June 24 last year. The case was initially registered at Madanpur police station in Aurangabad district in Bihar.
Earlier, the state police filed separate charge sheets against seven accused on January 26 and December 28 in 2019 and November 30 in 2021.
A spokesperson of the NIA identified the accused charge-sheeted on Saturday as Ajay Singh Bhokta, a resident of Kanaudi village in Madanpur, and said, “investigations have revealed that he, along with other CPI(Maoist) cadres, was actively involved in the abduction and murder of the civilian”.
“Ajay is an armed cadre of CPI(Maoist) and he was arrested in the instant case on September 1 last year upon production warrant. Charge sheet has been filed against him in the NIA Court, Patna under various sections of IPC, Arms Act and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act,” the spokesperson said.
The official said the weapons used in the incident have been seized and their forensic examination has been completed.
Three vehicles used by the CPI(Maoist) cadres in the incident have also been seized, the spokesperson said.

“During its investigations, NIA has also been able to unearth the involvement of top CPI(Maoist) commanders, including a politburo member, in the conspiracy for this brutal murder, which was done to create terror in the society while propagating the false and fallacious ideology of people’s war against the State,” the spokesperson said.
