CBI moves HC seeking death penalty for RG Kar convict
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed an appeal in the Calcutta High Court seeking the death penalty for Sanjay Roy, who was sentenced to life imprisonment until death for the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The CBI argued that the crime falls under the arest of rare category deserving capital punishment, while the trial court had ruled otherwise. The West Bengal government has also appealed for the death penalty, but the CBI opposed the state's right to file an appeal, claiming it was the prosecuting agency and therefore had the right to appeal on the grounds of inadequacy of the sentence. The high court will hear the appeals from the CBI, the victim's family, and the convict on January 27.

Kolkata doctor's rape-murder: CBI to seek death for Sanjay Roy in HC
New Delhi: The CBI will file an appeal before the Calcutta High Court, seeking death sentence for Sanjay Roy, who was sentenced to life imprisonment until death by a Sealdah court in the rape-cum-murder case of an on-duty doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, officials said Wednesday. The agency received a legal advice suggesting that the case may be categorised as the arest of rare, deserving capital punishment, they said. #CBI to seek death sentence in HC for #Sanjayroy , who got life imprisonment in #kolkataDoctorCase trainee rape-cum-murder: Officials pic.twitter.com/6EvaZTzggv Deccan Chronicle (@DeccanChronicle) January 22, 2025 The agency is likely to file the appeal against the Sealdah court order as soon as possible with detailed arguments in favour of capital punishment, they said. The agency's plea seeking death penalty for Roy was turned down by the trial court, where Additional District and Sessions Judge Anirban Das said that the crime did not fall under the arest of the rare category. The CBI prayed for the death penalty. The defence lawyer prayed that a jail term be given instead of the death penalty. This crime does not fall under the 'rarest of the rare' category, the judge said on Monday while sentencing Roy. I am sentencing you to life imprisonment, meaning till the last day of your life, for causing injury during the act of committing rape on the victim that led to her death..., he told Roy. The West Bengal government has already approached the high court, challenging the verdict and seeking death penalty for Roy. The CBI has opposed the state's right to file an appeal in the case, claiming that as it was the prosecuting agency, it had the right to appeal on the grounds of inadequacy of the sentence. Appearing for the CBI, Deputy Solicitor General Rajdeep Majumdar on Wednesday opposed the state's submission, maintaining that the West Bengal government does not have the right to appeal against the trial court's order on the ground of inadequacy. He submitted that the CBI had prayed for awarding capital punishment to Roy before the trial court. The high court said it would hear the CBI, the victim's family and the convict before deciding on the admission of the state government's appeal. The high court said it will hear the matter on January 27. The trainee doctor was raped and killed in the early hours of August 9 in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital when she had gone to have rest during her graveyard shift. Her body with severe injury marks was found inside the hall by a doctor next morning. Civic volunteer Sanjay Roy was arrested the next day based on CCTV footage in which he was seen entering the seminar hall at 4.03 am on the day of the incident. On August 13, the Calcutta High Court ordered the transfer of the probe from Kolkata Police to the CBI, which took over the case on August 14.

Centre raises raw jute MSP by 6 per cent to Rs 5,650 per quintal
NEW DELHI: The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved a minimum support price of Rs 5,650 per quintal for raw jute for marketing season 2025-26, an increase of 6 per cent or Rs 315 over the previous MSP. The decision was taken at the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, informed Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal. The new Minimum Support Prices (MSP) ensure return of 66.8 per cent over all-India weighted average cost of production and will benefit growers, the minister said. The government has increased MSP of raw jute from Rs 2,400 per quintal in 2014-15 to Rs 5,650 per quintal for 2025-26 marketing season, an increase of 2.35 times. The approved MSP of raw jute for Marketing season 2025-26 is in line with the principle of fixing MSP at a level of at least 1.5 times all India weighted average cost of production as announced by the Government in the Budget 2018-19, an official release said. It is to be noted here that livelihood of 40 lakh farm families directly or indirectly depends on jute industry. About 4 lakh workers get direct employment in jute mills and trade in jute. Last year jute was procured from 1.7 lakh farmers. Eighty-two per cent of jute farmers belong to West Bengal while Assam and Bihar have 9 per cent each of jute production share. The release said Jute Corporation of India (JCI) will continue as Central Government Nodal Agency to undertake Price Support Operations and the losses incurred, if any, in such operations, will be fully reimbursed by the central government.

Union Minister Manjhi threatens to resign over HAM's seat share ahead of Bihar elections
PATNA: Political temperature has heated up in Bihar after union minister and Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) founder Jitan Ram Manjhi threatened to give up his cabinet berth as his party was not getting a fair deal ahead of assembly elections due later this year. Manjhi's statement came at a public meeting held in Munger on Tuesday where he expressed his displeasure over HAM being neglected by the NDA. He cited the case of assembly elections in Delhi and Jharkhand where his party was not given a single seat. Quoting a verse from RamCharitmanas that 'Bin bhay na hot priti (fear begets respect), former Bihar chief minister said that he would have to prove his worth in Bihar. It seems that I will have to resign from the cabinet, he said. HAM spokesperson Danish Rizwan clarified that Jitan Ram Manjhi was misquoted by some media outlets. He didn't mean to say that. He mentioned he was getting late due to a scheduled union cabinet meeting, Rizwan explained. Earlier, Manjhi created a flutter in political circles after he demanded 20 seats in the assembly polls. Manjhi said, Our workers are asking to contest 40 seats in the assembly elections but we think that we should contest at least 20 seats. With the Bihar assembly election due in October-November, the grand alliance started firing on all cylinders to extract maximum political mileage out of Manjhi`s statement. Manjhi`s HAM is known as a hard bargainer and it would be interesting to see how two major constituents of the NDA in Bihar- BJP and JD (U) satisfy the senior leader`s growing ambition. Manjhi has announced plans to demonstrate his party's strength in Bihar, with a party workers' conference scheduled at Gandhi Maidan in Patna on February 28. Don't underestimate us, we will show our strength, said the union minister. JD(U) MLC Neeraj Kumar stated that all leaders in the NDA are united, citing Manjhi's role as a minister in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's cabinet. He added that NDA leaders in Bihar are holding joint conferences, emphasizing that the NDA remains strong on all issues while the grand alliance leaders are free to daydream about problems within the NDA. Senior BJP leader and state health minister Mangal Pandey also asserted that the NDA was intact in Bihar and all constituents were respected. NDA leaders sit together and take decisions through consensus, he remarked. Sensing that the seat sharing exercise in the grand alliance is not going to be smooth sailing, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav even went to the extent of saying that the opposition INDIA block was meant for the Lok Sabha election. Before that, RJD chief Lalu Prasad also said that TMC leader and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee should be allowed to lead the INDIA bloc. Even his remark was seen as an attempt to give a strong signal to Congress. Although a remarkable bonhomie between Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and RJD leaders-Lalu-Tejashwi was seen during the formers visit to the state capital, it is doubtful whether they will keep the same warmth when they huddle together to discuss seat sharing for the assembly election. In the 2020 election, Congress contested 70 seats but could win only 19 seats. On the other hand, CPI (ML) won 12 out of 19 seats it contested.

2K IDs blocked to stop scamsters from having first right over railway tickets
CHENNAI: Even after eight years since the Tatkal ticket booking scandal using illegal software on the IRCTC portal came to light in New Delhi, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, and other parts of the country, the railways is unable to fully address the portals vulnerabilities, allowing touts and agents to continue using illegal software to book tickets, particularly on high-demand routes. The regular arrest of touts and seizure of tickets by the RPF have failed to deter the malpractice. On November 11 last year, TNIE , in an article, threw light on the difficulties passengers face due to IRCTC portal crash during Tatkal bookings, resulting in ticket unavailability. Meanwhile, agents are selling tickets for the same day at double the rate. However, neither the railways nor IRCTC could provide an explanation for these anomalies. In this backdrop, the Southern railway on Monday announced that 2,003 individual and IRCTC user IDs and 119 agent IDs were blocked, and 10 different illegal software tools used for bulk and Tatkal ticket bookings have been disabled. It also disclosed the implementation of advanced AI technology to curb the use of illegal software in ticket booking. This system aims to detect and block suspicious transactions in real time, including multiple bookings from the same IP address or through VPNs. In December 2017, a programmer with the CBI, a former employee of the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) that maintains the IRCTC portal, was arrested in New Delhi for selling illegal software to travel agents. In this backdrop, the IRCTC introduced a feature that disabled ticket booking in less than 60 seconds and implemented various measures to prevent illegal software from transferring data to the IRCTC database. Despite these efforts, illegal software continues to enable users to bypass Captcha codes and bank OTPs, facilitating bulk and Tatkal ticket bookings. Agents use multiple windows on computers or laptops, each with different user IDs, to book tickets more efficiently. While the general public faces huge ordeal with frequent portal crashes and delays, software users consistently manage to book tickets within 10 to 20 seconds. Over the past 10 months, rail passengers in Tamil Nadu and other states have been complaining about frequent IRCTC portal crashes during Tatkal bookings, resulting in ticket unavailability. However, travel agents have been exploiting the situation by selling tickets at exorbitant prices, particularly on high-demand routes such as Chennai/ Tiruchy to Howrah, Shalimar, Guwahati, Jaipur, Jodhpur, New Delhi, and other northeastern cities, as well as Katpadi to West Bengal routes and Tiruppur/Erode to Bihar and other northern cities. In response to recurring complaints, the railways on Monday outlined measures to curb the misuse of illegal software by agents. In Southern Railway zone alone, 391 cases were registered last year, leading to the apprehension of 404 touts and seizure of 7,506 tickets valued at Rs 1.2 crore last year. Inspector General and Principal Chief Security Commissioner of Southern Railway G M Eswara Rao said AI systems will monitor booking behaviours to detect anomalies indicative of touting activities. Machine learning algorithms will identify and block suspicious transactions in real-time, including multiple bookings from the same IP address or those using VPNs.

BSF jawan injured in stone pelting by Bangladeshi smugglers
GUWAHATI: A jawan of the Border Security Force (BSF) sustained serious head injuries in stone pelting by Bangladeshi smugglers. The incident occurred on the intervening night of January 20 and 21 near the Narayanganj border outpost falling under the BSFs 90th Battalion in Cooch Behar, West Bengal. The BSFs Guwahati frontier in a statement said the troops deployed on the border observed suspicious movement of a large number of miscreants on the Bangladesh side on January 20. These individuals had illegally and wilfully violated the sanctity of the international border and were attempting to smuggle contraband items with the help of their Indian associates. Alert BSF jawans challenged them to stop their unlawful activities and return to Bangladesh territory. However, the Bangladeshi miscreants ignored repeated verbal warnings, the statement said. The statement further stated that by adopting an aggressive posture, the smugglers abused the BSF personnel and resorted to stone pelting in which a jawan of the force sustained serious head injuries. He was evacuated to a BSF hospital for treatment. The BSF said despite the attack, the troops exercised utmost restraint and used non-lethal measures to disperse the smugglers. Following a search later, the personnel recovered 50 bottles of contraband items. In light of the vulnerability of the border and the increasing activities of trans-border criminals and anti-national elements, BSF troops remain ever vigilant to curb trans-border crimes. They continue to make every effort to ensure that the Indo-Bangladesh international border remains crime-free, the statement said.

Father slams Mamata as govt appeals life sentence for doctor's murderer
The father of a 31-year-old trainee doctor, who was brutally raped and murdered by Sanjay Roy at RG Kar College and Hospital in Kolkata, has criticized Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over her handling of the case, as the West Bengal government moved the Calcutta High Court to challenge the life imprisonment verdict. The government is pushing for capital punishment for the accused, who was sentenced to life imprisonment by Sealdah Court. Government's Appeal to the High Court On Tuesday, the state government filed an appeal in the Calcutta High Court, demanding that Roy receive the death penalty instead of life imprisonment. This legal action comes after the Sealdah courts decision, which left many dissatisfied, including the victims father. The governments decision to appeal to the higher court has reignited tensions surrounding the case, and the victim's family is closely following the developments. Victim's Fathers Reproach In a statement to the media, the victims father expressed his displeasure at Mamata Banerjees response to the case. He said, Let us get the order copy tomorrow, we will go through it and then decide what we want to do. She (Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee) does not have to do anything in a hurried manner. Whatever the chief minister has done till date, she should not do any further. His words clearly reflect the frustration and emotional toll the family has endured during the prolonged legal battle. Allegations of Evidence Tampering The victim's father also made serious allegations against the authorities, accusing the police and the CBI of tampering with evidence in the case. She can say a lot of things, but she only tampered with evidence the then CP and others, they had tampered with it. Could she not see all that from the beginning? he questioned. His comments suggest a deeper frustration with the investigation process, which he believes hindered the pursuit of justice for his daughter. Calls for Justice The case, which has been a source of national outrage, continues to captivate the attention of the public, as demands for justice grow louder. The victims family is steadfast in their pursuit of a harsher sentence for Roy, with many advocating for the death penalty to send a strong message against violence and crimes targeting women. The West Bengal governments appeal to the Calcutta High Court has sparked fresh debates about the legal process, justice, and accountability. As the case progresses, both the family and the wider public await a resolution, hoping for justice and a stronger stance on crimes of this nature.
