Suspended constable Kasim Ali arrested by Delhi Police for being the kingpin of a drug racket: Details

The Delhi police have arrested Mohammad Kasim Ali, the kingpin of an interstate drug racket who was responsible for smuggling heroin consignments from Manipur to Guwahati, Siliguri and then different parts of the country. Kasim Ali was a suspended constable who hailed from Manipur and was apprehended after investigating the information given by two others arrested in the case – Ikbal Khan and Mohammad Ishak. Khan and Ishak were arrested last year and 10 kg of heroin worth 40 crores in the international market were seized.

As per reports, Kasim Ali had lured Ishak and his nephew Ikbal Khan to join in his illegal drug trade by offering an amount of Rs 1 lakh per trip. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Rajeev Ranjan Singh said, “On November, SI Bijender Singh got a tip that Ali would come back from Myanmar border through Churachandpur between 12:10 pm and 12.30 pm to supply huge consignment of heroin to his contact in Churachandpur in Manipur. Accordingly, our team laid a trap and at about 12:15 pm…he was identified and apprehended”.

Rajeev Ranjan Singh noted, “In a family feud over land, he got arrested in a murder case, due to which he has been under suspension and he developed financial issues. During his services at the police department and jail time, he got to know people involved in drug trafficking. To solve his financial problems, he also started trafficking drugs”.

Further, during interrogation, Kasim Ali revealed that he had earlier shipped 10kg of heroin to one Najim in Delhi and another person in Malda last year. Ali told the police that he used to hide the drug consignments in secret compartments in the car to avoid detection by the police. The police are investigating the case to track the suppliers and arrest all the people involved.

AgustaWestland scam middleman Christian Michel goes on ‘indefinite’ hunger strike: Read why and how the Tihar Jail director rubbished his claims

Christian Michel James, the key middleman in the Rs 3,600 crore VVIP chopper scam, who is lodged in Tihar jail since his arrest in 2018, has gone on an ‘indefinite’ hunger strike on Thursday to compel the British government to take cognisance of his case. He is believed to have said that this is the only way to get his voice heard by the British government, who until now has paid no heed to his requests to intervene in his case.

Speaking about the development, Michel’s son, Alois said: “We are urging the UK government to intervene. For three years, he has been asking the UK to support him… nothing happens and no reaction is given. He has no option but to go on a hunger strike,” adding that his father is concerned that the trial will never happen.

Speaking from Paris, Michel’s wife, Valerie, said: “It’s been three long years with absolutely no trial, no justice… My husband has no choice but (to resort to) a hunger strike. We are worried about his physical, mental and emotional health. We don’t know anything about his condition. He is probably in a precarious condition. My children are growing with no father.”

Michel writes to UK PM seeking action on his case

It may be noted that on October 5, Christian Michel had written a 9-page letter to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson threatening to go on a ‘hunger strike’. In the letter, Michel had threatened to commence his hunger strike on November 25 until the UK government takes action on his case. Adding that the British Embassy in Dubai had “refused to intervene”, Michel, in his letter to the British PM, had said that his situation in Tihar jail was akin to being on death row. 

While Michel’s family claimed that he wrote the letter to the British Prime Minister after being denied access to the British High Commission, Tihar Jail Director General Sandeep Goyal dismissed the claims. Goyal said: “None of his rights has been violated. He has been given regular counsellor access as per the procedure. He went on a hunger strike yesterday and has not taken any food. We are monitoring his health; if medical intervention is required, it will be provided to him.”

Michel was extradited to India from the United Arab Emirates on December 5, 2018. He was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) upon his arrival in India, and then by the Enforcement Directorate, a financial investigation agency, a few days later. He has been held in judicial custody at Tihar Jail since then.

Michel had recently sought bail on the grounds that the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) concluded his detention was arbitrary. However, the court, while rejecting the bail, had said the UNHRC WGAD was “not a judicial body and it appears that it did not have complete material before it was forming an opinion”.

After the court had disregarded the UNHRC WGAD recommendation that Michel be released immediately, his lawyer had said that they would petition the UN to take further action.

CBI files supplementary charge-sheet in AgustaWestland scandal, elaborates role of Christian Michel in receiving and routing the alleged kickbacks

On September 19 last year, the CBI filed a supplementary charge sheet against 15 accused, including Michel and accused-turned-approver Rajiv Saxena, in connection with the alleged corruption in the Rs 3,600 crore AgustaWestland VVIP chopper deal. The charge sheet elaborated in detail about the alleged role played by Michel in receiving and routing the alleged kickbacks through a web of entities to alleged beneficiaries, which include bureaucrats and politicians.

Michel’s bail application is listed for hearing before the Delhi High Court on December 2.

PTV withdraws case against Shoaib Akhtar after sending PKR 100 million defamation notice following a public spectacle

Two weeks after the Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV) sent a PKR 100 million defamation notice to former cricketer Shoaib Akhtar, it has withdrawn the case on Thursday (November 25). The development came after the two parties ‘reconciled their differences’ amicably.

While speaking about the case, a PTV lawyer informed that the Corporation had decided to not pursue the case any further. The matter was disposed of by a civil court in Lahore. Earlier, the Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV) had accused Akhtar of wrongdoing and causing huge financial loss to the company.

“(Your) conduct towards official requirements according to the binding clauses of referred agreement has not only been observed as casual, but a total violation of the agreement,” the broadcaster had sent the PKR 100 million defamation notice to the cricketer on November 8 this year for resigning on-air without a prior 3-month notice period.

The Background of the defamation notice against Shoaib Akhtar

On October 26, Akhtar walked out of a live sports programme broadcast on PTV after the host Nauman Niaz asked him to leave on account of being ‘over smart and rude’. The incident took place during the post-match analysis, following the fierce encounter between Pakistan and New Zealand.

Akhtar was asked by the programme host about Pakistan’s chase in a match. The former bowler, however, ignored the question and decided to talk about another pacer.  Rattled by Akhtar’s behaviour, Niaz had said, “You are being a little rude so I don’t want to say this but if you’re being over-smart then you can go. I am saying this on air.” Miffed by the treatment meted out to him, Shoaib Akhtar resigned from the PTV as a cricket analyst.

Apart from the damages, PTV had asked the former fast bowler to pay an amount of Rs 33,33,000, which was equivalent to a three-month salary, to the organisation. Reportedly, PTV also reserved its rights to initiate ‘legal proceedings” against Akhtar. Later, Niaz in an interview on a YouTube channel had candidly confessed to his mistake. and apologised for his behaviour.

Turkey descends into chaos: Protests, 20% inflation, and a plea to ‘eat less meat’ to tackle soaring prices

Turkey has descended into chaos with soaring prices, 20% inflation and protests against the flailing economy. According to reports, Turkey’s currency, Lira, has plunged to historic lows and the 20% inflation has pushed the prices up significantly, devaluing the local currency salaries. While protests rage in parts of Turkey, the Turkish government has urged its citizens to go vegetarian. The Turkish government has decided to switch to vegetarianism and raise awareness against food waste to face the collapse of the Turkish lira and uncontrollable food prices hikes, according to a report in euractiv.com.

“Instead of eating 1-2 kilos of meat monthly, let’s eat half a kilo. We buy 2 kilos of tomatoes and half of them go to the trash. Well, let’s get 2 tomatoes,” said Turkish lawmaker Zülfü Demirbağ who belongs to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s AKP party. He made this statement in light of the total collapse of the Turkish lira and the looming economic crisis, according to reports.

The Turkish government has employed brutal measures to contain the protests that have broken in various parts of Turkey against the economic policies of Erdogan. On Wednesday, it is reported that riot police broke up a protest that was raging on the streets of the capital city.

The protesters, mostly members of left-wing groups, were starting to gather in Istanbul’s Kadikoy district, located on the Asian side of the city, when police intervened.

Demonstrators were chanting slogans calling for Erdoğan’s government to resign.

The police had put up barricades and ended up dragging the protestors away. According to reports, 30 people were detained in the Wednesday protest alone. According to another report, hundreds of social media accounts have been targeted in Turkey for “inciting people to hatred and calling on citizens in the streets to use violence [against price hikes].”

Experts have attributed the slide in the Turkish economy to the insane policies of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Erdogan has described the Interest rate to be the “enemy” and has refused to increase the rate to cool off inflation. The central bank of Turkey also has no autonomy to rectify the slide in the Economy and they are to follow the policies set by the President. Erdogan has fired three central bank chiefs in roughly two years because they refused to reduce the interest rate in accordance with the whims of Erdogan.

Semih Tumen, a former central bank deputy governor who Erdogan dismissed in October, sharply criticized the president’s moves.

“We need to abandon this irrational experiment, which has no chance of success, and return to quality policies that will protect the value of the Turkish lira and protect the welfare of the Turkish people,” Tumen wrote on Twitter, according to a translation.

Another video surfaces from Ghaziabad where Muslim cook was seen spitting on dough before making rotis, arrested

On November 26, another video surfaced where a cook was seen spitting on the dough while cooking tandoori roti at an engagement ceremony in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. The video of the gross act was shared on Twitter by Sudarshan News.

The news channel said that the video is probably from Muradnagar in Uttar Pradesh, where the youth named Shadab Miya was spitting on the dough while cooking tandoori roti at an engagement ceremony. It urged the Ghaziabad police to confirm the authenticity of the video.

The Ghaziabad police, in turn, responded by confirming that as soon as the video came to their notice, the Muradnagar police took cognisance of the issue and registered a case against the accused. They added that Shadab Miya was arrested and sent to jail.

Recently, there has been an increasing number of instances when cooks have been caught spitting on the dough while preparing rotis. On November 15, in a similar case reported from Ghaziabad itself, one of the cooks at a hotel that operates by the name ‘Muslim Hotel’ had been detained by the Police for questioning after he was seen spitting on the dough while making tandoori roti. In the video of the act which went viral on the microblogging site, the man, who was wearing a white skull cap, could be seen spitting while making the roti. A complaint in this regard was filed by Hindu Raksha Dal at Loni Police Station.

Similarly, a month ago, a similar video had surfaced on social media in which a man was seen spitting on roti at a Dhaba in Ghaziabad. The accused arrested in the case was identified as Tamizuddin.

In the month of April, we reported five other such instances where cooks were arrested after their videos of spitting on food went viral.

CJI calls for saving the judiciary from social media trolls, asks central agencies to deal with such ‘synchronised’ attacks

CJI calls for saving the judiciary from social media trolls, asks central agencies to deal with such ‘synchronised’ attacks

Chief Justice of India (CJI) NV Ramana on Friday called for saving the judiciary from motivated and targeted attacks on social media. He said that the onus lies on the central agencies to deal with the synchronised, sponsored attacks against judges on social media.

“An area of grave concern for the judiciary is the increasing attacks on judges. Physical attacks on judicial officers are on the rise. There are also attacks on the judiciary on social media. These attacks appear to be sponsored and synchronised. Law enforcement agencies must deal with them effectively. The government is expected to create a secure environment to let judicial officers work effectively,” he said while speaking at the constitution day celebration organised by the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA)

The CJI further added: ” We are all ultimately part of one large family. Protect the institution from motivated and targeted attacks. Do not shy away from standing up for what is right, and against what is wrong.”

Further urging young lawyers to respect the seniors, the CJI said, “Please respect and pay due regards to your seniors,” adding that they have immense experience, knowledge and wisdom, which no amount of book learning can provide.

“Perhaps, the most important feature of the Indian Constitution is the fact that it provides a framework for debate. It is through such debate and discussion that the nation ultimately progresses, evolves, and achieves higher levels of welfare for the people,” the CJI said.

He added that “the most direct and visible players in this process are, of course, the lawyers and judges of this country”.

The Chief Justice noted that the judiciary “has lived up to the faith reposed in it by the Constituent Assembly” in terms of its duty in relation to the executive. The purpose of judicial involvement, according to CJI Ramana, is to prod the administration toward unresolved public issues, not to supplant its duty.

The Chief Justice emphasised the importance of establishing state and national judicial infrastructure authority, for which the CJI solicited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s assistance, who was also present during the event.

Recalling the contributions of legendry lawyers – Mahatma Gandhi, Dr BR Ambedkar, Jawaharlal Nehru, Lala Lajpat Rai, Sardar Patel, and Alladi Krishnaswamy Iyer – in India’s freedom struggle and the making of the Constitution CJI Ramana exhorted lawyers to take up cases pro-bono whenever possible.

After judges complain of being ignored, CBI seeks Interpol help to nab 2 social media trolls

It may be noted that earlier in August 2021, a bench headed by Chief Justice of India N V Ramana had lamented that judges were not on priority for the investigating agencies and that their complaints of being harassed and intimidated were not being important enough to be addressed despite the involvement of specialised bodies like the CBI in the investigation.

In response, the CBI in November had sought Interpol’s help for the deportation of two men who are currently believed to be in the United States in connection with a case involving derogatory remarks posted against judges and judiciary on social media platforms.

According to the sources close to the CBI, the agency had arrest warrants issued against the two suspects and had also filed six more charge sheets in the case. About 6 people from different places in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have been already arrested and sent to judicial custody in relation to the case. They are accused of making disparaging remarks against judges of the Andhra Pradesh High Court over certain verdicts.

Besides the 6 arrested, the CBI had arrested another 5 accused in July and August and also filed five separate charge sheets against them. 

In addition to this, the probe agency had also questioned Lok Sabha MP Nandigam Suresh and former MLA Amanchi Krishnamohan, both belonging to YSR Congress, in the case. In a separate case in October 2020, the Andhra Pradesh HC had fumed over derogatory posts made by YSRCP leaders after they had accused the judges of being ‘partial’. The YSRCP leaders were criticising the HC after its request for a CBI probe into the ‘Amaravati scam’ was rejected by the High Court.

CBI took over the case in November 2020 and filed a case against 16 people accused of making derogatory remarks against the judges and the Indian judiciary. Until then, the CID, Andhra Pradesh, was probing the matter and had filed 12 FIRs in the case. The original FIRs were registered on complaints of Registrar General of high court of Andhra Pradesh. After taking over the case, the CBI had gotten social media companies to delete the contentious posts, along with getting YouTube channels blocked from the social media platforms and public domain.

Punjab Deputy CM Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa terms protests of contractual employees a drama, tells them ‘do whatever you want’

Protesting contractual employees of state-owned Punjab Roadways confronted Deputy Chief Minister of Punjab Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa and Transport Minister Amarinder Singh Raja Warring on Friday over the regularization of their jobs. The contractual employees have been staging protests demanding to make their contractual jobs regular and also increase the bus fleet size from the present number which is around 2500 to 10,000.

The contractual employees have alleged that Sukhjinder Randhawa misbehaved with them during the altercation. As per reports, the protesters had surrounded the ministers of Punjab and put their demands in front of them on Friday at Sri Muktsar Sahib. While Transport Minister Warring said, “Protesting is your right,” adding, “I along with Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa stepped out of our cars to talk to you.” Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa claimed, “It’s a drama.” Following which the angry protesters replied back and said, “The government is doing drama.”

But Amarinder Singh Raja Warring was not happy with this reply and reminded the protestors that they are talking to ministers. “You are talking to a Home Minister and a Deputy Chief Minister,” he said. After that Sukhwinder Singh Randhawa told the contractual employees, “Do whatever you want then.”

The Deputy CM also directed the DC to suspend the protesting employees who are supposed to be on duty at that time.

The protesting employees have also claimed that the Punjab government made a number of promises before the 2017 elections and they were not fulfilled yet. They had earlier protested during Amarinder Singh’s government and were told that their jobs would be made regular in twenty days. A protester named Gurpreet Singh had said, “We have also held a protest two months back that continued for nine days when Captain Amarinder Singh was the chief minister of Punjab and demanded to make our jobs regular,” adding, “The former chief minister back then promised us to make our jobs regular in twenty days but then it did not happen because he resigned from power and Charanjit Singh Channi took over the CM position. The current chief minister also promised the same. It has been two months now there is no update from this government too,”

The contractual employees in Ludhiana had earlier warned that they would hold indefinite strikes and block roads if the Punjab government did not consider their demands. Gurpreet Singh had said, “from November 23, we will start an indefinite strike, if the government will not listen to us even after that, we will start blocking roads.”

Kanpur resident whose ‘gutkha pose’ went viral during India-NZ test match clarifies about entire incident

A Kanpur resident, who had instantly shot to fame after his picture of allegedly chewing gutkha while talking on the phone during the first Test between India and New Zealand had gone viral, issued a clarification on Friday. He said it was sweet supari and not gutkha or tobacco that he was chewing during the test match that later on became the fodder for meme fest on social media.

Shobhit, a resident of Sarvodaya Nagar in Kanpur, was at the stadium during the second day of the ongoing test match as well. On Friday, he spoke to news channels and clarified that it was sweet supari and not gutkha that he was chewing when the camera panned at him, making him the subject of the online meme fest.

“I had gone to watch the match with my sister. I was talking to someone on my mobile phone while chewing sweet supari when the camera captured the video that later went on to become viral on the internet,” Shobhit told in an interview.

Although Shobit is happy with the fame he has received after his picture went viral, he regrets some of the lewd comments made against her sister. Shobit said, “Such people who made crass remarks against my sister should realise that she is somebody’ sister, someone’s daughter. The comments made against her were totally uncalled for and unwarranted,” said Shobit while adding that he will never eat masala in his life.

Picture of Kanpur man allegedly chewing gutkha goes viral on the internet, triggers a meme fest

Earlier yesterday, the picture of Shobit chewing something while talking on the phone during the India-New Zealand Test in Kanpur instantly went viral, after social media users alleged that he was chewing gutkha. Kanpur is infamous for tobacco and pan masala and there have been several jokes and memes on the same. It took no time for netizens to come up with creative memes to link Shobit’s picture with Kanpur’s infamy, alleging that the man in the picture was chewing gutkha or tobacco.

The picture was widely shared on the internet, with netizens sharing creative and hilarious memes on it.

Former cricketer Wasim Jaffer also partook in the social media frenzy, sharing a popular dialogue from the Bollywood movie Phir Hera Pheri. Jaffer shared a meme that read, “Person on the other side of that call: Muh se supari nikal kar k baat kar re baba (speak after spitting betel nuts).”

‘Farmers’ at Singhu border organise ‘pizza langars’ to mark one year of protest, Rakesh Tikait says protestors will not budge from Delhi borders

‘Farmers’ at Singhu border organise ‘pizza langars’ to mark one year of protest, Rakesh Tikait says protestors will not budge from Delhi borders

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the farmers’ protest. Despite the fact that the central government has been in the process to repeal the farm laws, farmers, in a purposeless display of might, gathered at the Tikri and Singhu border today, pressing for MSP laws and other demands. A Kisan Mahapanchayat has been convened in Sector-13, close to the Tikri border, on a 7-acre plot.

Besides, hundreds of tractors adorned with lights and placards drove through the Singhu border protest site to commemorate one year of protests against the three agricultural laws. Pizza langars have been organised for the ‘farmers’ at the Singh border to mark the occasion.

Despite the central government rolling back the three farm laws, which were primarily introduced to benefit farmers, against which the farmer protests had started, there is no likelihood of the farmers returning from the protest sites on the borders of Delhi where they have erected several semi-permanent structures to live for months. In fact, they have now started threatening the central government yet again with other demands.

Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait said: “It has been 1 year since he was sitting on the borders of Delhi. Even though the government has announced the withdrawal of all three ‘black laws’, the government has remained silent on many other issues including the Minimum Support Price (MSP). The government is not talking to the farmers on this issue. Till all the demands of the farmers are not met, the farmers are not going to leave the borders of Delhi.”

Describing his future course of action Tikait added: “There is a meeting of the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha (an umbrella body of over 40 farm unions that is spearheading the protest) on November 27 and all the issues will be kept in that meeting after which the further strategy of the farmers’ movement will be decided.”

“On November 29, the farmers will take out a tractor rally in front of the Parliament. Now the farmers are not going to sit quietly because the government may have announced the withdrawal of all three agricultural laws but has provided no commitment on the MSP guarantee law which the farmers have been demanding from the beginning. The government should hold talks with us. Otherwise, we will not go home,” Tikait threatened.

Even the open letter submitted to the administration, according to farmer leader Rakesh Tikait, has not received a response. All of these concerns will be discussed at the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha meeting. The farmers’ union will then decide on the next steps for the farmers’ agitation.

Tikait added that the ‘farmers’ have been protesting agricultural laws for a year in the open air, withstanding the cold, heat, and rain. Approximately 750 farmers have been martyred in this one year. Despite this, thousands have been gathering at the three border points of Delhi. The further strategy will only be decided after consultation with the farmers, said the BKU leader.

It may be noted that a large number of farmers from Punjab are gathering again on the borders of Delhi for the Mahapanchayat. In view of this, the Delhi Police has increased the security arrangements at the three border points of Delhi, namely Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur. The paramilitary strength has also increased.

It may be noted that PM Modi, addressing the nation on November 19, had said that by the end of this month, the Centre would complete the process of repealing the three farm laws. He then appealed to the protesting farmers and middlemen to return to their homes on this Gurupurab and stop their protest. He further said that the government will form a committee to formulate laws for the benefit of the farmers. However, Tikait has continued his intimidatory tactics against the government, insisting that the protest would continue unless the farm laws are repealed in the Parliament. “

‘Stop it, Dad’: Drugs case co-accused Arbaaz Merchant gets annoyed at father for asking him to pose for pictures outside NCB office

Arbaaz Merchant, one of the accused in the Cruise Ship Drugs case, was peeved at his father after the latter asked him to pose for the paparazzi outside the Narcotics Control Bureau(NCB) office on Friday. Merchant, along with his father, paid a visit to the NCB office as a part of his bail condition that required the accused to mark their attendance every week.

After marking his attendance, when Merchant left the NCB office, his father Aslam Merchant asked him to pose for the shutterbugs. As Aslam drew Arbaaz close and smiled for the cameras, his son facepalmed and said, “Stop it, Dad,” leaving the photographers in splits. Arbaaz, who looked visibly exasperated with his father’s antics, then walked off and entered his car.

Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant and others arrested in the Cruise Ship Drugs case

On October 3, the NCB officials arrested Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, Arbaaz Merchant, Munmun Dhamecha, along with five others, after a raid at an alleged rave party on a Goa-bound cruise ship. After spending more than 3 weeks in jail, the accused were granted bail by the Bombay High Court on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh each.

Aryan and others were awarded bail by the Bombay High Court with 14 conditions attached. The court specified that even if one condition is violated, NCB would be entitled to apply to the special court for cancellation of bail. As per one of the conditions of their bail order, the accused had to appear before the NCB every week.

Aryan, Arbaaz and Munmun had moved to the Bombay High Court on October 20 after the NDPS court in Mumbai refused to grant bail.

The NCB had arrested over a dozen people in the cruise ship drug case. NCB had stated in Court that Aryan Khan has international links and has been in contact with drug peddlers.

The Court had noted that no drugs were found on Aryan’s person, though the NCB had stated that he was aware that Arbaaz had concealed drugs in his shoes.
