Preserve evidence of protest; those responsible will be punished: Rahul Gandhi to students over police 'assault'

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 14 (IANS) Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday urged students who participated in the protest demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to record videos, preserve evidence of police excesses and send them to Congress, asserting that those responsible for any wrongdoing would be punished. Gandhi made the remarks while addressing a press conference alongside protesters who participated in the demonstration. As I said in my press conference, this is India. Amit Shah ji, take a good look at this. There is no Hindu here, no Muslim, no one from any particular caste. There is no woman or man. There is one voice, one protest. It is the voice of India, and you are standing against this voice. The Prime Minister is standing against this voice, he said. I suggest that you do not stand against this voice. No one can stand against this voice. I have told all the students to keep a video record and send that evidence to us. When this entire matter concludes, we will use all the evidence and ensure that everyone who needs to be punished is punished, from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gyanesh Kumar and Amit Shah to even the constable who raises a hand against our children, Gandhi added. He further said that FIRs will be filed as it is all part of the work. See, this is a protest. FIRs will be filed, and that is all part of the work. But, there is one voice, and that voice is being suppressed, he said. Gandhi also introduced a female protester as 'our sherni', praising her for remaining fearless despite allegedly being assaulted. I want to introduce our sherni. She was beaten, but she was not afraid. There was no hatred in her heart, he said. Highlighting the alleged injuries sustained by protesters, Gandhi said Athira, a student from Kerala studying at Delhi University, had lost her hearing in one ear after being struck there. Athira from Kerala has lost her hearing in one ear. She is deaf in one ear because she was struck on that ear. She can no longer hear. Last time, I showed you a boy who had been blinded. Now, she is deaf in one ear, he said. Athira alleged that female police personnel were absent when protesters were detained on Tuesday. She said she had asked the authorities why no female police officer or constable was present, arguing that one should be available during the detention of women. She alleged that the bus subsequently stopped outside the Connaught Place police station, where she was repeatedly hit on the cheek. Because of this, I have an injury to my eye and damage to my ear, she said, describing the injuries she allegedly sustained during the incident.

Crime never dies: Kerala Home Minister on probe against Gyanesh Kumar

Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 14 (IANS) Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala on Wednesday informed the Kerala Assembly that the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) was progressing with the probe into allegations involving Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar dating back two decades, saying that crime never dies. The incident took place 20 years ago, but a crime never dies. The probe has begun, and it will take time as it involves a few incidents. The probe will go forward and look into all aspects. The findings will be announced once completed, Chennithala said. He was responding to a submission by ruling front legislator A.K.M. Ashraf of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) on the Vigilance inquiry ordered against Kumar over allegations linked to his tenure as Kerala's Public Works Department (PWD) Secretary. The fresh inquiry was ordered on October 4 following a petition by Congress leader Malayinkeezhu Venugopal. It will examine allegations that external pressure derailed a preliminary Vigilance inquiry conducted in 2006. The case is linked to the death of Malaysian civil engineer Lee See Been, who died by suicide in Kuala Lumpur in November 2006 after returning from Kerala. He was associated with the PATI-BEL consortium entrusted with upgrading the MC Road under the Kerala State Transport Project (KSTP). Lee's purported suicide note reportedly named Kumar, who was the PWD Secretary at the time. The allegations relate to alleged irregularities surrounding the road project and the circumstances in which the initial inquiry was handled. The state Home Department has sought the relevant records of the earlier Vigilance proceedings. The fresh inquiry will examine how the original investigation was conducted and whether any outside influence affected its course. Chennithala last week directed the Vigilance Director to conduct a thorough inquiry into the allegations of interference and take appropriate action based on the findings. The minister has described the allegations of external influence as serious enough to warrant detailed scrutiny. The renewed inquiry comes at a politically sensitive time, with the Congress leadership in Delhi strongly opposing Chief Election Commissioner Kumar over separate controversies. The Kerala probe, however, concerns allegations linked to his tenure as a state official two decades ago. The reported reference to Kumar in the purported suicide note and the allegations surrounding the earlier inquiry do not establish wrongdoing. The fresh investigation is expected to determine whether the original proceedings were compromised and whether further action is warranted. The government has said the probe will examine all aspects before its findings are made public.

CMRL-Exalogic case: Two VACB teams to probe Pinarayi Vijayan, Mohammed Riyas, Veena

Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 14 (IANS) The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau has formed two special teams to investigate separate cases against former Kerala Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan, his daughter T. Veena, her husband, former Minister Mohammed Riyas and others. Vigilance Director Manoj Abraham on Wednesday ordered the formation of the teams. Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Thomson Jose will supervise both investigations. Superintendent of Police (SP) E.N. Suresh will lead the investigation into the case in which Vijayan is the first accused. Kozhikode Special Cell SP Balakrishnan will investigate the case in which Riyas is the first accused. Both cases were registered under the Prevention of Corruption Act. They followed a Kerala High Court order based on an Enforcement Directorate (ED) report. Vijayan's daughter, T. Veena, is the second accused in both cases. The first case relates to alleged payments made by Cochin Minerals and Rutile Ltd (CMRL) to Veena's company, Exalogic, during the first Pinarayi Vijayan government. The ED alleged that Exalogic received Rs 3.28 crore from CMRL for services that were not provided. It claimed that the payments were made because of political influence and amounted to a bribe to Vijayan. Vijayan is the first accused, and Veena is the second accused in this case. Seven people, including CMRL owner Sasidharan Kartha, have been named as accused. The second case relates to allegations that Riyas generated illegal funds while serving as a minister and transferred money abroad through hawala channels. According to the ED's findings, Riyas and Veena allegedly conspired with some of the former's friends to transfer money to the United Arab Emirates through intermediaries. The alleged transfer amounted to Rs 85 lakh. The ED reportedly found handwritten notes during a search of Veena's residence. These notes have been cited in connection with the alleged transactions. The accused had also reportedly discussed a garment export business in Dubai. Riyas is the first accused, and Veena is the second accused in this case. Eight people, including Riyas's friends, have been named as accused. The two cases relate to allegations from different periods. The FIRs allege that the accused abused their positions or influence to obtain unlawful financial gains. The Crime Branch Special Investigation Team has handed over relevant documents to the Vigilance. These include statements recorded by friends of Riyas. The Vigilance will now conduct separate investigations into the two cases. The allegations are yet to be established through the investigation and legal proceedings.

Foreign links, crypto payments under scanner in Kerala synagogue arson case

Digital Desk | Kochi, Oct 14 (IANS) The arson attack near a Jewish synagogue in Kerala's Ernakulam is being investigated for possible international terror links after police found suspicious messages, foreign-linked communications and references to attacks in different Indian cities on the arrested accuseds mobile phone. Ebin Paul, 32, a native of Puthencruz, was arrested within hours of the October 12 incident in which a fire was set at Blossom Nursery, near the Kadavumbhagam Synagogue in Ernakulam Market. Police suspect that the accused acted on the instructions of a person he referred to as his boss. Preliminary investigations indicate that he was allegedly assigned targets, asked to carry out attacks and send video footage in return for payment. Investigators are examining information that he may have received money through cryptocurrency. The phone reportedly contained messages referring to Jewish places of worship and possible attacks in different cities. Communications with individuals having foreign links were also found, prompting Central agencies to examine whether the incident was part of a wider conspiracy. The accused allegedly arrived at the nursery in a blue car around 2.30 a.m., poured petrol and set fire to the premises. He recorded the act on his mobile phone before fleeing, investigators found. Kochi City Police launched an intensive investigation, treating the location near a Jewish place of worship as a matter of security concern. CCTV cameras at most shops in the market were not functioning at night, posing an initial challenge. However, investigators examined available footage from the market and nearby areas and gathered information from around 150 people. With the help of the cyber wing, police traced the blue car despite being unable to clearly establish its registration number. The trail led them to a rented house in Puthencruz, where Ebin was arrested. Investigators also linked him to an earlier arson incident involving a used car showroom in Muvattupuzha. Police said he admitted his involvement in that case during questioning. Suspicious communications relating to drug transactions were also found on his digital devices. The information has been handed over to Ernakulam Rural Police for further investigation. The police are examining the messages, financial transactions and possible links of the accused to establish the full extent of the alleged conspiracy. The accuseds mental condition is also being examined.

Ranji Trophy: Rahul's Batting Trouble Continues; Jadeja Scalps Three Wickets After Century

Emanjot Singh Chahal: India star batter KL Rahul was dismissed for another cheap score for Karnataka as he followed his four-run outing in the first innings with one run in the second against Andhra in a Group B clash in Vijayawada. Meanwhile, another India veteran Ravindra Jadeja backed his century with a three-wicket haul for Saurashtra in the clash against Chhattisgarh in Rajkot in Group B, while Punjab have started to lose the plot in their Group B encounter against Assam. Karnataka are in trouble as they ended the third day at 176/4 and have only a 32-run lead. This could have been worse if not for an unbeaten 81 from Karun Nair, while captain Smaran Ravichandran is also unbeaten on 21. Rahul was earlier dismissed for one, while Mayank Agarwal also managed to score just 18. With one day remaining, Karnataka need some magic for an outright win, or else they can at most manage one point if the match ends in a draw, as they had a first-innings deficit. Andhra will take six points if they win (seven if they win by 10 wickets) or they will take three points if the match is drawn, as they have the first-innings lead after bowling Karnataka out for 274 and putting 418 in reply. Meanwhile, Jadeja followed his 102 from the first innings with 3-40 in the first essay with the ball to bowl Chhattisgarh out for 312. Saurashtra are 45/0 in the second innings at stumps on Day 3 and would fancy three points or a win on the final day. Punjab are seemingly losing the plot in their fixture against Assam in their Group B fixture in New Chandigarh. They ended the third day at 287/5 and trail by 86 more runs. Salil Arora and Emanjot Singh Chahal are unbeaten on 25 and 28, respectively. In Group A, Madhya Pradesh are 151/5 against defending champions Jammu and Kashmir in their second innings as Shubham Sharma went back unbeaten on 51 to help the team take their lead to 227. Puducherry were dismissed for 313 in their first innings against Vidarbha on Day 3 of the clash in Nagpur. Ritesh Gudge (95), Mohit Kale (78) and Nikhil Gangta (54) scored strong fifties, but Parth Rekhade and Aman Mokhade took three wickets each. In reply, Vidarbha are 22/1 at stumps and have a lead of 137 runs. Goa are trailing Baroda by 238 runs after being asked to follow-on as they ended Day 3 at 35/1. They were earlier dismissed for 199. Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh defeated Bihar by an innings and 267 runs. In Group C, Delhi trail Bengal by 88 runs after ending the day at 101/3. Bengal had earlier posted 429 on the back of Abishek Porel's 149 and Sudip Gharami's 133. Kerala are in all sorts after ending the third day at 269/6 against Jharkhand in reply to 587, trailing by 318 runs. Maharashtra lead Services in Delhi by 172 runs after ending the third day at 66/5. They had earlier bowled Services out for 227. Odisha ended Day 3 against Gujarat at 119/4 and have a four-run lead, but Gujarat took a 115-run advantage in the first innings. In Group D, Mumbai completed a stellar innings and a 155-run win over Chandigarh at Wankhede, while Rajasthan led Yamil Nadu by 170 runs after ending Day 3 at 81/4. They had a 91-run lead in the first innings. Railways have a 158-run trail against Uttarakhand as they were 34/0 at stumps. They were bowled out for 278 in the first innings, while Uttarakhand made 470. In Group D, Mumbai completed a stellar innings and a 155-run win over Chandigarh at Wankhede, while Rajasthan led Yamil Nadu by 170 runs after ending Day 3 at 81/4.
