Brinda Karat urges President's intervention as UP govt moves to withdraw Dadri lynching case
NEW DELHI: Senior Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leader and former Rajya Sabha MP Brinda Karat on Saturday wrote to President Droupadi Murmu seeking her intervention against the permission granted to withdraw charges in the 2015 lynching of Dadri resident Mohammad Akhlaq. In her letter, Karat described the Uttar Pradesh governments decision as a wholly illegal and unjust attempt to subvert the processes of justice, noting that the main witness had already given evidence in the case. She recalled that following nationwide outrage over the brutal murder, the government had assured that those responsible would be punished. On September 18, 2015, a mob gathered outside Akhlaqs home in Bisada village in Dadri after an announcement from the local temple alleged that he had slaughtered a cow and stored its meat in the fridge. The mob, led by Vishal Rana, son of a local BJP leader, and his cousin Shivam, dragged Akhlaq and his son Danish from their home and assaulted them until they fell unconscious. Akhlaq died at a Noida hospital, while Danish survived after undergoing major surgery for severe head injuries. With the Governors permission the UP government has filed an affidavit in the District Court Greater Noida to withdraw the case. I regret that I am forced to write to you on this matter, but since the Governor has been appointed by you and is answerable to you, I felt it in the interests of justice to inform you of the facts and to request your urgent intervention, Karat said. She added that she has been in touch with the victims family since the beginning and is aware of their suffering, courage, and belief that justice would be served. I write to you, with the hope that you will intervene and direct the Governor to withdraw the permission given. The matter is urgent as the government affidavit approved by the Governor which was to be discussed in the Court yesterday (on Friday) was postponed on the request of the prosecution, Karat wrote. Karat further criticised the decision, saying it was aimed not at meeting the ends of justice but at subverting the judicial process, calling it a blatant misuse of CrPC 321. The point however is, if the government is taking such a politically motivated step to withdraw a case of murder, attempt to murder and mob lynching, should not the Governor counsel the government against such a step? Is it not the duty of the Governor to uphold the constitution and the rule of law? If such a case is withdrawn what will be left of the processes of justice? she asked. She also highlighted that the charge sheet had already been filed and that in 2022, the direct witness, the victims daughter, gave evidence, naming and identifying all the accused. At such a time, the UP government has taken a decision to withdraw the case on utterly indefensible grounds such as lathis were used not guns, there was no personal animosity with the victim, continuing the case will lead to communal disharmony and so on. All this time the prosecution has delayed the case, not giving notice to the witnesses to appear and today the delay is being made grounds to withdraw the case, Karat added.

ED summons codeine smuggling kingpin Shubham Jaiswal; warns of NBW, Interpol notice
LUCKNOW: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) Lucknow Zone unit has issued a final summons to Shubham Jaiswal, identified as the kingpin of a codeine cough syrup smuggling racket, warning him that failure to appear on Monday will prompt the agency to seek a non-bailable warrant (NBW) and initiate proceedings for a Red Corner Notice against him through Interpol. Notably, Jaiswal has already been served two summons by the ED but has so far failed to appear to record his statements in connection with the smuggling racket. The ED issued the warning a day after the Allahabad High Court granted interim protection on Friday to Jaiswal and his father Bhola Prasad Jaiswal from arrest until December 17. The father-son duo is accused of running a massive cross-border narcotics racket in Uttar Pradesh. However, the HC relief could not be extended to Bhola Prasad Jaiswal, who remains lodged in Sonbhadra jail in connection with other criminal cases. He was recently arrested at Ranchi airport while allegedly trying to flee the country. Shubham Jaiswal, along with his accomplices, has already fled the country and is believed to be in Dubai. ED sources said Shubham Jaiswal was named in a UP police FIR and is one of the accused in a PMLA case lodged by the agency based on 24 FIRs filed over the past year by UP Police, STF, and FSDA. These cases relate to large-scale seizures of illegal, adulterated, or mislabelled codeine syrups, the arrest of carriers, forged stock records, and suspicious financial activities by pharmaceutical and transport firms. The FIRs cover districts including Lucknow, Chandauli, Varanasi, Ghaziabad, Sonbhadra, Sultanpur, Kanpur Nagar, Jaunpur, Bahraich, Bhadohi, and Ghazipur, pointing to a widespread and structured criminal network. According to sources, Shubham Jaiswal allegedly created fake GST invoices, manipulated stock registers, employed unregistered transporters handling pharma cargo, routed interstate cash movements through informal channels, engaged in unlicensed bottling, and ran suspected illegal manufacturing units. These findings are an offence under PMLA and is an organised financial crime, said a senior official. The ED has also written to UP Police seeking complete case files and bank details of all 67 accused, and has begun examining bank accounts, GST filings, ITRs, property registries, and digital ledgers. The agency is mapping transporters, warehouses, distributors, and interstate logistics, and is scrutinising suspected shell firms used to route profits. Sources said preliminary probes have revealed diversion of pharmaceutical stock, illegal manufacturing, smuggling routes, and laundering of profits, with the investigation still underway.
Brinda Karat Urges President to Intervene in Akhlaq Lynching Case

NEW DELHI: Senior CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat on Saturday wrote to President Droupadi Murmu, demanding her intervention in the Uttar Pradesh government's move to withdraw charges against the accused in the 2015 mob lynching of Mohammad Akhlaq. In a letter to the President, Karat called it a politically motivated step by the government, and also questioned the role of the governor. I write to draw your urgent attention to the role of the Uttar Pradesh governor in the matter of the mob lynching case of Md Akhlaq, which occurred in September 2015. The Governor has given written permission to the UP government to go ahead in its wholly illegal and unjust attempt to subvert the processes of justice and to withdraw the entire case even though the main witness has already given evidence, Karat said. She said the government has filed an affidavit in the Greater Noida district court to withdraw the case, with the governor's permission. I regret that I am forced to write to you on this matter, but since the governor has been appointed by you and is answerable to you, I felt it in the interests of justice to inform you of the facts and to request your urgent intervention, she said. On September 18, 2015, a mob gathered outside Akhlaq's home in the Bisada village in Dadri after an announcement from the local temple alleged that he had slaughtered a cow and stored its meat in the fridge. The mob --led by Vishal Rana, son of a local BJP leader, and cousin Shivam-- dragged Akhlaq and his son Danish out of their home and assaulted them until they fell unconscious. While Akhlaq died at a Noida hospital, Danish survived after suffering severe head injuries and undergoing major surgery. Even today, Danish has not fully recovered and carries the impact of the grievous wounds inflicted on him, Karat said. The CPI(M) leader said the daughter of the victim gave evidence and named and identified all the accused. In other words, evidence against the accused has been presented and recorded in the court. The case is going on, and two other direct witnesses are to give their statements, she said. At such a time, the UP government has taken a decision to withdraw the case on utterly indefensible grounds, such as lathis were used, not guns, there was no personal animosity with the victim, continuing the case will lead to communal disharmony and so on, the letter read. Karat alleged that the case has been delayed by the prosecution -- by not giving notice to the witnesses to appear -- and now the delay has been cited as the grounds to withdraw the case. This is motivated not to meet the ends of justice but to subvert the entire judicial process, she said. Calling it a politically motivated step by the Uttar Pradesh government, she questioned, Should the governor not counsel the government against such a step? Is it not the duty of the governor to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law? If such a case is withdrawn, what will be left of the processes of justice? Will this not then apply to all cases of mob lynching that lathis were used, not guns, that there is no personal animosity, that harmony requires that such cases be withdrawn? she asked. Karat expressed hope that the President would intervene and direct the governor to withdraw the permission given. The matter is urgent as the government affidavit approved by the governor, which was to be discussed in the court yesterday (December 12) was postponed on the request of the prosecution, she added.
Union Minister Pankaj Chaudhary sole candidate in fray for UP BJP chief: Sources
Pankaj Chaudhary has filed his nomination for the Uttar Pradesh BJP chief post. He is the sole candidate, paving the way for an unopposed election. This move is seen as strategic ahead of upcoming panchayat and 2027 assembly elections. Chaudhary, a seven-time MP from the Kurmi community, is considered a key figure.
MoS Pankaj Chaudhary likely to be new UP BJP chief; CM, nine other leaders propose his name
LUCKNOW: The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to get its party chief for the Uttar Pradesh unit on Sunday. The nomination process for the election of the new state chief took place at the BJP headquarters in the state capital here on Saturday afternoon, with Union Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary leading the race. Chaudhary filed his papers, and his name was proposed by 10 senior BJP leaders, including UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. According to sources, Chaudhary is almost certain to get elected unopposed, as no other leader has filed nomination papers. However, a day ahead of the nomination process, BJP national general secretary (organisation) BL Santhosh arrived in Lucknow and met Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. An organisational meeting was also held at CMs residence on Friday night. Amid intense political activity, Union Minister Piyush Goel, appointed as the election officer by the party, arrived in Lucknow on Saturday along with central election observer Vinod Tawde, and Pankaj Chaudhary who is believed to be a close aide of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. While Pankaj Chaudhary was being considered as the front-runner for the post of UP BJP chief, the arrival of former Union Minister Sadhvi Nirajan Jyoti at the party office on Saturday morning added to the buzz of voting, as she is also being considered as a candidate. Moreover, the name of Union Minister BL Verma had also been doing the rounds for the post. The party chief was supposed to be elected in January 2025, but was delayed due to assembly elections in Maharashtra and Bihar. According to party leaders, Piyush Goyal will complete the election process on Sunday. BJP sources said that the party had zeroed in on an OBC face in Pankaj Chaudhary to lead the state. Chaudhary, a seven-time BJP MP from the Maharajganj Lok Sabha constituency of eastern Uttar Pradesh, is regarded as one of the party's cadre. He started his political career in Gorakhpur Municipal Corporation. In 2024, he defeated Congress candidate Virendra Chaudhary by a margin of over 35,000 votes to enter the Union Cabinet. A prominent OBC Kurmi leader, Chaudhury filed his nomination on Saturday in the presence of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, along with several senior party leaders and central representatives. Hailing from Gorakhpur, Chaudhary is being seen as a choice by the party to counter the oppositions PDA (Pichhda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) narrative, while also consolidating OBC support ahead of the panchayat elections next year and the 2027 Assembly polls. Chaudhury has been a member of the Union Cabinet since 2021. If elected as the Uttar Pradesh BJP president, he would become the fourth Kurmi leader to head the party in the state, following Swatantra Dev Singh, Vinay Katiyar, and Om Prakash Singh. He is set to replace Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary, a Jat leader from Moradabad.

Tej Pratap's JJD to contest assembly elections in West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh
PATNA: The Janshakti Janata Dal (JJD), led by former Bihar minister and Lalu Prasads estranged son Tej Pratap Yadav, on Friday announced that it will contest forthcoming assembly elections in West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh. Speaking to the media after launching the partys membership drive in Patna, Tej Pratap said the party will field candidates in the upcoming assembly elections in both states, with the state committee set to take the final decision. The assembly polls in West Bengal are scheduled for 2026, while Uttar Pradesh will go to the polls in February-March 2027. We aim to expand our partys reach at the national level. Party will make members outside the state as well, he said in response to a media query. In the 2025 assembly elections, JJD fielded candidates in 25 constituencies. Tej Pratap Yadav contested from his old Mahua assembly seat but lost. Ahead of the Bihar assembly polls, the party had entered into alliances with some smaller parties. Tej Pratap also announced plans to launch the partys official website soon and said leaders have been assigned the task of expanding the organisation. He extended support to his sister Rohini Acharya, who had left her parental home and announced her decision to quit politics, severing ties with her parents and brother Tejashwi Prasad Yadav following RJDs debacle in the assembly polls. Tej Pratap pleaded for proper security cover for his sister Rohini, who had unsuccessfully contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from Saran. I am also not feeling safe these days. I should also be given proper security, he added.
CBI, FBI dismantles transnational cyber crime network in Noida, six arrested
NEW DELHI: India and the US federal investigative agencies have jointly busted a transnational cybercrime network in Noida, where scammers based in India allegedly defrauded US nationals of USD 8.5 million, the CBI said on Friday. Acting on inputs from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Central Bureau of Investigation arrested six accused from Uttar Pradeshs Noida and dismantled a cybercrime syndicate that had been targeting US citizens since 2022. The accused have been identified as Shubham Singh, Daltanlian, George T. Zamlianlal, L. Seiminlen Haokip, Mangkholun, Robert Thangkhankhual and David. During the period 2022-2025, the accused individuals operating under pseudonymous identities of US Government officials from Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Social Security Administration (SSA), conspired to target US victims by threatening them that their Social Security Numbers (SSN) had been used for money laundering and drug deliveries and that all of their assets would be freezed, the agency said. Claiming the victims funds were at risk, the network allegedly manipulated them into transferring USD 8.5 million to cryptocurrency wallets and foreign bank accounts controlled by the accused. The CBI registered a case on December 9 and launched a coordinated investigation, conducting extensive searches at multiple locations in Delhi, Noida and Kolkata linked to the accused. Officials intercepted six individuals allegedly engaged in ongoing criminal activities at an illegal call centre operating in Noida and dismantled the facility. During searches conducted on Wednesday and Thursday, investigators uncovered what they described as a cyber-enabled financial crime network routing proceeds through virtual assets and layered bank transfers. Searches conducted at premises of the illegal call centre and the accused persons led to recovery of cash amount of Rs.1.88 crores, 34 electronic devices viz. mobile phones, laptops, pen drives, hard disks and incriminating documents pertaining to crime, the agency said. The CBI added that further operations are underway to trace the remaining proceeds of crime and identify additional links in the network.
FSDA writes to UP district magistrates to invoke Gangster Act in illegal cough syrup case
LUCKNOW: While government agencies are conducting raids and cracking the whip on those allegedly involved in illegal diversion of codeine-based cough syrup and trafficking of narcotic-category medicines, the Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA) has shot of letters to 31 district magistrates (DMs) across Uttar Pradesh to book the alleged syndicate operators under the UP Gangsters Act. The FSDA has told the DMs to initiate action under the laws provisions that include seizure of properties disproportionate to the known source of income. Meanwhile, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids in a palatial bungalow worth crores, owned by dismissed police constable Alok Kumar Singh in Lucknow on Friday. Alok Kumar Singh, who was arrested in connection with the cough syrup scam, is currently languishing in jail. The ED raided 25 locations simultaneously across six cities in Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Gujarat on Friday morning in connection with a major illegal network dealing in codeine-based cough syrup, officials said. The size of Alok Kumar Singhs bungalow and its overt opulence were there to take everyone in awe. Meanwhile, the development regarding the letters written by FSDA to the DMs has come three days after the Uttar Pradesh government formed a three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT), led by Inspector General of Police, Law & Order, LR Kumar, to investigate the case. The UP Police and FSDA authorities have carried out raids in 332 firms across 52 districts in UP, during the past two months, lodging FIRs against 133 of them across 31 districts. UP forms SIT to crack Rs 425-crore codeine cough syrup smuggling racket According to FSDA Secretary and Commissioner Roshan Jacob, the department conducted months of intensive investigation spanning Jharkhand, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh and collected evidence, including the business links of Uttar Pradeshs super stockists and wholesalers with those states, before launching the raids two months ago. Jacob has also written to district magistrates to initiate action against the jailed operators under the Gangsters Act. As per the FSDA commissioner, CM Yogi had issued directives for stringent action against the culprits ensuring that no diversion takes place from Uttar Pradesh to any other state or country. He (CM) instructed officials not to trouble small traders during enforcement but ensure firm action against super stockists and wholesalers involved in illicit activities, Jacob said. According to officials, for the first time, cases have been registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS) Act and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for illegal diversion of codeine-based cough syrup. Earlier, such violations were dealt with only through licence cancellations. Informed sources reveal that while probing the records of 332 drug-selling establishments, it was found that many of them did not actually exist and were functioning only as billing points with no purchase or sale records. Many others lacked proper storage arrangements. Out of the 332 firms, 133 were found to be involved in the organised illegal diversion of these medicines for non-medical use. It was discovered that the diverted stock was being routed primarily through state capital Lucknow, Kanpur, Lakhimpur Kheri, and Bahraich to Nepal, and from Varanasi and Ghaziabad to Bangladesh. Cases of trafficking of codeine-based cough syrup for drug abuse have been identified in cities including Varanasi, Jaunpur, Kanpur Nagar, Ghazipur, Lakhimpur Kheri, Lucknow, Bahraich, Bijnor, Prayagraj, Pratapgarh, Sitapur, Sonbhadra, Balrampur, Raebareli, Sant Kabir Nagar, Hardoi, Bhadohi, Amethi, Shravasti, Siddharthnagar, Unnao, Basti, Ambedkarnagar, Azamgarh, Saharanpur, Bareilly, Sultanpur, Chandauli, Mirzapur, Banda, and Kaushambi, officials said.
