[ad_1]
New Delhi: A Delhi court is likely to pronounce on Saturday its order on framing charges against Aaftab Amin Poonawala, accused of strangling his live-in partner Shraddha Walkar and chopping her body into pieces.
The Delhi Police is also scheduled to file tomorrow its reply to an application of Walkar’s father before the court, urging it that her remains be handed over to the family for last rites as required by tradition and culture.
Additional Sessions Judge Manisha Khurana Kakkar reserved order on April 15 after hearing arguments on framing of charges from the prosecution lawyers as well as the accused.

The probe agency on April 15 had sought time to file its reply to Walkar’s father’s application.
Poonawala has been booked by Delhi Police for offences under IPC sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence).
The Delhi Police filed a 6,629-page charge sheet in the case on January 24.
Walkar was allegedly strangled by Poonawala on May 18 last year, following which he sawed her body into pieces and kept them in a fridge for almost three weeks at his residence in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
He scattered them at different places in the national capital to avoid being caught.

Land-for-jobs ‘scam’: Tejashwi Yadav skips CBI questioning Saturday, seeks fresh date

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav did not appear before the CBI for questioning on Saturday in the alleged land-for-jobs scam citing personal reasons, officials said.
The federal agency summoned RJD leader Yadav for questioning on Saturday after he had skipped the previous date on March 4, they said.
He has cited personal reasons for not attending the questioning session, following which the agency is likely to give him another date, they said.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had recently questioned RJD supremo Lalu Prasad and his wife Rabri Devi — former chief ministers of Bihar — in Delhi and Patna respectively.
The case pertains to people allegedly given employment in the railways in return for land parcels gifted or sold at cheap rates to the Yadav family and its associates, the officials said.
After the recent questioning of his parents, Tejashwi Yadav had alleged that investigation agencies were acting against political opponents of the ruling BJP at the Centre.
“It is an open secret that probe agencies are acting against political opponents of the BJP and helping those who agree to align with that party,” the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader had told reporters outside the Bihar assembly on Monday.
Yadav then said that Prasad, as the railway minister, had “no powers” to give employment in exchange for favours. He got support from the Congress and the AAP, which targeted the central government, alleging that the ruling BJP wanted to “suppress” the voice of the Opposition.

Bihar Chief Minister and JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar on Saturday hinted that he agreed with the contention of ally RJD that the recent crackdown on its president Lalu Prasad and his family members by the CBI and ED was “politically motivated”.
The CBI has filed a charge sheet in the land-for-jobs case against Prasad, Rabri Devi and 14 others under charges of criminal conspiracy and provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act, and all the accused have been summoned on March 15 by a special court, officials said.
The allegations have been denied by members of the Yadav family.
The officials said the fresh round of questioning is taking place as part of “further investigation” on the basis of fresh inputs gathered by it during its ongoing probe.
The CBI has alleged that during Lalu Prasad’s tenure as the railway minister in the UPA government from 2004 to 2009, favourite candidates were appointed in the railways in violation of norms and procedures.
No advertisement or public notice was issued for appointment but some residents of Patna were appointed as substitutes in different zonal railways located in Mumbai, Jabalpur, Kolkata, Jaipur and Hazipur, the CBI has alleged.
As a quid pro quo, the candidates, directly or through their immediate family members, allegedly sold land to the family members of Prasad at highly discounted rates, up to one-fourth to one-fifth of the prevailing market rates.
