ED searches 29 premises across six cities in share investment fraud case
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 16 (IANS) The ED on Friday conducted searches at 29 offices and residential properties across Mumbai, Ahmedabad and four other cities, seizing digital devices in an investment fraud linked to manipulation of share prices of two listed companies, an official statement said. During the search operations, various incriminating documents, digital devices, records of share transactions, and property documents were seized, the ED statement said. The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Mumbai Zonal Office-I, conducted the search operations at 29 premises across six cities, including Mumbai, Nashik, Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Surat and Bhavnagar, under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, it said. The matter is related to the manipulation of the shares of listed companies, including R M Drip and Sprinklers Systems and R&B Denims Ltd, said the ED. The premises searched include the offices of the two companies, the residences of their promoters, of persons to whom shares were allotted at low prices, offices of stock-broking and finance firms, and premises of persons suspected to have operated the promotional WhatsApp groups, the ED said. The ED investigation revealed that between April 2023 and March 2024, the two companies issued over 3.5 crore shares and convertible warrants to selected persons and entities. A large part of the money paid for these shares came from a small circle of connected persons, firms and lenders. Over the following months, the share prices were steadily pushed up, while the shares largely stayed in the same hands, it said. The investigation also revealed that from the end of December 2025 to February 2026, WhatsApp communities with names such as Multibagger Stocks sent daily uy tips on these shares to gullible retail investors. These groups were run on SIM cards obtained in the names of other persons in Haryana and Mumbai, but operated from Bhavnagar, Gujarat, it said. Lured by the tips, the number of buyers in the two shares rose from about 3,400 to over 1 lakh. On February 25, 2026, the WhatsApp groups were suddenly deleted. Both shares fell to the lower circuit and lost about 70 per cent of their value within days, leaving more than one lakh small investors with heavy losses and shares that could not be sold, the ED said.

Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 16 (IANS) In a major development in the murder case of former MLA Atar Singh Bhadana, the police have arrested the prime accused, Mukesh alias Mukesh Fauji, in Rajasthan's Bharatpur district. He had been absconding since the murder, prompting police teams to conduct raids at the homes of his family members and relatives. Following his arrest, Mukesh Fauji was brought to the Weir police station, where Superintendent of Police Rajesh Meena interrogated him late at night. Investigators are seeking details about the sequence of events leading to the murder, the alleged roles of other suspects and the circumstances surrounding the incident. The administration had also served a notice regarding the proposed demolition of the accuseds house while he remained on the run. Further action will depend on the applicable legal and administrative process. Five other accused in the case have already been arrested. Mukesh Fauji had reportedly been leading a protest for the past two years, demanding the closure of a mining lease. His name has also figured in cases filed by Bhadana's widow. Police are examining his alleged role as part of the ongoing investigation. Investigators have also been examining inflammatory posts circulated on social media in recent days concerning a leased pathway. The posts, featuring both men and women, reportedly went viral before the incident. According to the investigation, a minor dispute occurred on October 7. On the day of the incident, protesters were removed from the demonstration site. Police have also received information suggesting that security personnel associated with Atar Singh Bhadana allegedly aggravated tensions through videos. Some of these personnel are reportedly from the Dholpur region. Police teams are examining the videos and other material to establish the sequence of events and determine the roles of those involved. The five arrested accused -- Bhagmal, Soni, Sher Singh, Baldev and Kunwar Singh -- were produced before Judicial Magistrate Suvihay Hafiz Siddiqui. The police had sought three days of police custody for questioning. However, the court granted a two-day police remand for all five accused. During the search for Mukesh Fauji, police teams raided several locations, including the homes of his relatives. Investigators suspected that he might be hiding in neighbouring villages or in the Bayana region, where residents of Bhaunda village have family connections. The rugged, hilly terrain of the Dang region also complicated the search. According to police sources, the accused managed to evade arrest at some locations before police teams arrived. Teams were additionally dispatched to Haryana and Uttar Pradesh amid suspicions that the prime accused might have fled to either state. With Mukesh Faujis arrest, investigators are expected to intensify questioning to establish the circumstances of the murder and identify the roles of other suspects in the case.

Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International: Newly appointed T20I vice-captain Shafali Verma said on Thursday that her role in the Indian team leadership group will go beyond that title, adding that the side are aiming to play a fearless yet smart brand of T20 cricket in next years Champions Trophy. India, to be now captained by Smriti Mandhana, will begin its preparation for the inaugural six-team tournament, to be played in Mumbai and Vadodara in February 2027, when they open the T20I series against Zimbabwe at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium on Friday. Just talking about vice-captaincy, I have done captaincy in the Under-19 World Cup as well. So, I have that experience. I know vice-captaincy is not just a title. It's a big responsibility. I know we have to just take care of each and every player and make them in a very good headspace. So, I am just trying to make every player very comfortable and just help the captain, Shafali said in the pre-match press conference. She also credited former captain Harmanpreet Kaur for the growth of the women's game and said the team had already mapped out its approach for the road ahead. Harman di has done a lot of growth to women's cricket. The current shape of women's cricket, it's just all about Harman di only. So, just thanks to her and just talking about how we have to move forward in women's cricket. First of all, we have to play a fearless brand of cricket in T20, with smartness as well. So, we have just talked in this series that we have to play the Champions Trophy, the fearless brand of cricket with the smartness and we have done lots of meetings. So, everyone knows what to do and you guys can also see the growth. So, we are just trying to keep growing series by series, she added. Shafali, who has been in prolific form via scores of 64, 68, 40 not out, 100 not out and 48, traced her resurgence to the work she put in after being left out of the ODI side in 2025, before a call-up came following Pratika Rawal's injury led to her dramatic return to the ODI World Cup team and capped it off with a Player of the Match performance in the final against South Africa in Navi Mumbai. When Pratika got injured, I got a direct call to be back in the team. Luckily, at that time I was playing state T20 games from Haryana. So, I worked a lot on myself in 2025 and I think that hard work which I did in 2025, it gave me lots of help right now. So, I am just trying to keep my head down and just keep learning everything. Every day brings every new experience, and I am just trying to learn everything, she said. Shafali recalled that spending time out of the team forced her to take a hard look at her game. I think in 2025, when I got out of the team, I sat down and analysed myself which things I have to work on. First of all, consistency and then fitness, which meant I had to work on my body. Mentally, I have to grow more. So, these three things, I did hard work at that time. I think because of that, everything is going well. So, I am just trying to be more consistent. Shafali, who has also been chipping in with her off-spin, said she had long prepared for the possibility of bowling at the international level. Bowling is nothing new for me because I have been bowling for Haryana since 2021. So, I know when I used to bowl for Haryana, I used to think that someday I will have to bowl for India. So, I used to keep myself mentally prepared at that time that if I get bowling in the Indian team, then how do I have to prepare. With God's grace at that time, I am just trying to get used to the thinking that when I will get bowling in the Indian team, then what do I have to do and luckily I did that. Mentally, I have been ahead only and it's a great thing. Aware that opponents now plan specifically for her, Shafali said she recreates various match scenarios in the nets. I know that the other opponent team does all the preparation for me. So, in the net sessions, I always prepare for that. If my hitting is not good in the net session, then how do I play along the ground? So, I put myself in various situations in every net session. So, I think it is easy for me to go into the match because of that practice. On every skill, on short balls, even on spinner's back foot punch and even the pull shots as well. So, I have worked on that and I can see a very good reflection. So, I have to just keep doing the hard work. In the absence of injured Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali said the batting order had coped well and backed youngster Niki Prasad to step up. Jemi is recovering. But, in the Asia Cup and Asian Games, we were very good in the middle order. We didn't feel so much absence of it. So, I think it is easy for me to go into the match because of that practice. On every skill, on short balls, even on spinner's back foot punch and even the pull shots as well. So, I have worked on that and I can see a very good reflection. So, I have to just keep doing the hard work. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Heera Group Ponzi case: ED completes registration of seven auctioned properties
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Oct 14 (IANS) The Enforcement Directorate (ED), Hyderabad Zonal Office, has successfully completed the registration of seven immovable properties, auctioned for Rs 15.03 crore in favour of the successful bidders in connection with the Heera Group Ponzi case. The properties comprise six flats at H.S. Royal, Shaikpet Village, Hyderabad, and one house at MLA Colony, Road No. 12, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. The ED said in a statement on Wednesday that proceeds realised from the auction of the attached properties shall be transferred to the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) for onward disbursement to the genuine victims/claimants of Nowhera Shaik, Heera Group of Companies and others, in accordance with the directions of the Supreme Court. Nowhera Shaik and her associates duped investors of over Rs 5,978 crore with false promises of 36% annual returns. The auction was conducted on October 6 pursuant to the directions of the Supreme Court. In its order dated March 5, 2025, the Supreme Court allowed the application filed by ED seeking permission to auction immovable properties attached in the case of Nowhera Shaik, Heera Group of Companies and others, with a view to maximising realisation from the attached properties for restitution to the genuine claimants/victims. Subsequently, the Supreme Court directed the Registrar General, Telangana High Court to depute T. Venkateshwar Rao, Registrar (Protocol) for execution of the sale deeds on behalf of the petitioner-accused. Accordingly, the sale deeds in respect of the seven properties have been duly registered in favour of the successful bidders. ED investigation was initiated under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002 against Nowhera Shaik, Heera Group of Companies and others on the basis of multiple FIRs registered by police in different States. Investigation revealed that Nowhera Shaik and others had collected investments of more than Rs 5,978 crore from the public by promising abnormally high returns of more than 36% per annum. However, the entities subsequently defaulted on repayment of the principal amounts and promised returns to a large number of investors. Investigation further revealed that part of the Proceeds of Crime so generated was utilised for acquisition of various movable and immovable properties in the names of Nowhera Shaik, Heera Group entities, her relatives and associates. During the course of investigation, ED, Hyderabad Zonal Office issued five Provisional Attachment Orders (PAOs), attaching properties valued at Rs 428.83 crore under the provisions of PMLA, 2002. Prosecution Complaint and Supplementary Prosecution Complaint have also been filed before the Special Court under PMLA, Hyderabad. The Supreme Court, after taking serious note of the conduct of Nowhera Shaik, cancelled her bail through an order dated April 8, 2026 and directed her to surrender before the jail authorities within one week. Upon her failure to comply, the Special Court under PMLA, Hyderabad issued a Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) on May 7. Thereafter, acting on intelligence inputs, ED traced and apprehended Nowhera Shaik from Gurugram, Haryana on May 21, in a joint operation with Haryana Police, and arrested her in execution of the NBW. She was brought to Hyderabad, produced before the Special Judge, PMLA, and remanded to judicial custody, where she continues to remain. ED said that it will continue to take necessary steps for monetisation of the remaining attached properties and restitution of the proceeds to the victims, in accordance with the directions of the Supreme Court.

PIL in SC seeks uniform judicial terms, abbreviations and court fees across India
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 14 (IANS) A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking directions to the Law Commission of India to prepare a comprehensive report in consultation with the apex court and all High Courts to standardise judicial terminology, abbreviations, phrases, norms, court fee structures, and case registration processes across the country. The plea, filed by advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay under Article 32 of the Constitution, alternatively sought the constitution of an expert committee or directions to the Union Law Ministry to prepare a report to ensure uniformity in judicial procedures and nomenclature. The petition, which has arrayed the Union government, the Secretary General of the Supreme Court, the Registrars General of all High Courts, and the Law Commission of India as respondents, contended that significant variations in judicial terminology, case classifications, abbreviations, procedures and court fees across High Courts cause inconvenience to litigants, advocates and authorities, despite courts operating under the same constitutional and legal framework. The terminology used by different High Courts for different types of cases is not uniform. This causes inconvenience not only to the general public but also to advocates and the authorities as well, the petition stated. It further said that even where courts deal with similar categories of cases, the terms and abbreviations used to identify them differ, making the existing system difficult to navigate. Citing examples from various High Courts, the petition pointed out that criminal appeals are abbreviated as CRA, CR.A, CRAPL and CRL.A in different jurisdictions, while contempt appeals are referred to as CONTA, CONTAPP, CPTA, and ConApp. The plea also highlighted variations in the classification of writ petitions, stating that the Delhi High Court has multiple categories of writ petitions, while the Gujarat High Court deals with such matters under a single category of WRIT PETITION (PIL). Similarly, the petition said, the Gauhati and Himachal Pradesh High Courts have several categories of writ petitions, while the Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court follows its own classification system. It also flagged differences in the nomenclature of company matters, with COMPET used in the Gauhati High Court, COMP in the Gujarat High Court, and COP in the Himachal Pradesh High Court. The plea referred to further inconsistencies within the Bombay High Court and its Benches at Nagpur, Aurangabad, and Panaji, arguing that different terminologies and descriptions for similar case types create difficulties for advocates practising across these jurisdictions. According to the petition, the Bombay High Court's principal seat has 330 case types with descriptions but without abbreviations, while its Nagpur and Aurangabad benches have 77 and 61 such case types, respectively. The petitioner also raised concerns over the absence of uniformity in court fees for similar matters of comparable valuation across different states and High Courts, arguing that such disparities adversely affect access to justice. Judicial equality is a matter of constitutional right, its differentiation based on the jurisdiction of courts violates the Right to Equality enshrined under Articles 14-15 of the Constitution, the plea stated. Citing examples, the petition said that a criminal miscellaneous application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, attracts a court fee of Rs 2.65 in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, compared with Rs 2.50 in the Delhi High Court. It further highlighted that the court fee for a first appeal in matrimonial cases is Rs 19.50 in Punjab and Chandigarh, while the same appeal attracts a fee of Rs 24.50 in Haryana. The plea also highlighted differences in fees for transfer applications and company petitions, arguing that litigants are required to pay different amounts for similar legal proceedings depending on the jurisdiction. Unequal Court Fees in different States discriminate among citizens based on their place of birth and residence, the petition contended, adding that such differences also promote regionalism. It further referred to various state-specific amendments to the Court Fees Act, 1870, arguing that the resulting disparities underscore the need for a uniform court fee structure. The petition stated that the petitioner had submitted a representation to the Chairman of the Law Commission on September 5, seeking uniformity in judicial terminology, abbreviations, norms, phrases, court fees and case registration processes. However, claiming that the authorities had not taken steps to address the issue, the plea said the need for judicial standardisation continued to remain unaddressed. The petitioner has sought directions for a comprehensive exercise involving the Supreme Court and all High Courts to establish uniform standards for case classifications, judicial terminology, abbreviations, court fees and registration procedures across the country.
