  • NIA DySP Demands Rs 2.5 Cr Bribe To Spare Family From Terror Charges, Arrested By CBI

    NIA DySP Demands Rs 2.5 Cr Bribe To Spare Family From Terror Charges, Arrested By CBI

    GNS ONLINE NEWS PORTAL

    NEW DELHI OCT 04:–The CBI arrested an NIA deputy superintendent of police posted in Patna and two middlemen on Thursday for allegedly accepting a Rs 20 lakh bribe to extend favours to a person in an ongoing probe, officials said.

    The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had received a complaint from Rocky Yadav, the owner of the Ramaiya Construction, that Deputy SP Ajay Pratap Singh had been extorting money from him by threatening to falsely implicate his family in a case of illegally stocking unlicensed assault weapons.

    The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted searches at Yadav’s premises on September 19 and asked him to appear for questioning on September 26 before Singh who was the investigation officer of the case, officials said.

    It is alleged that Singh, who is in the NIA on deputation from the Income Tax department, threatened Yadav and demanded a bribe of Rs 2.5 crore to allow him to “escape consequences”, they said.

    Yadav accepted the demand to save his family from false charges, an official said.

    “The accused deputy SP asked the complainant to pay an initial amount of Rs 25 lakh on September 26 (the day of interrogation) and provided him with a handwritten note containing a middleman’s mobile number.

    “Subsequently, it was alleged that the complainant arranged Rs 25 lakh and directed his relative to deliver the money after contacting the mobile number. The money was delivered to the recipient, who arrived in Aurangabad, Bihar,” a CBI spokesperson said.

    The CBI alleged that Singh was in contact with the accused middleman who along with another middleman was present in Aurangabad, Bihar, around 11:30 pm on the day of the incident, corroborating the reported delivery of the bribe.

    Singh again summoned Yadav on October 1 where a demand of Rs 70 lakh was made with instructions to deliver half the amount the same day in Patna, the CBI alleged.

    “The accused deputy SP again gave Yadav a handwritten note containing a mobile number. Later, the complainant contacted the given phone number and sought some time to arrange the money and assured that the money would be delivered on October 3 in Gaya,” the CBI spokesperson said.

    The CBI informed senior officers of the NIA about the entire episode.

    After verification of the inputs, the CBI laid a trap in coordination with the NIA.

    “The CBI today apprehended the accused investigation officer, Deputy Superintendent of Police (Dy SP) Ajay Pratap Singh, and his two agents while accepting an illegal gratification of Rs 20 lakh from the complainant,” said a statement issued by the NIA.
    The two alleged middlemen, Himanshu and Ritik Kumar Singh, were also arrested by the CBI.

    Searches are being conducted at several places in Gaya, Patna and Varanasi during which Rs 20 Lakh bribe money has been seized, it said. (AGENCIES)

  • Never advocated gun, violence; talks, not polls way forward to resolve Kashmir issue: Mirwaiz Umar

    Never advocated gun, violence; talks, not polls way forward to resolve Kashmir issue: Mirwaiz Umar

    GNS ONLINE NEWS PORTAL

    Says GoI must acknowledge ground reality, take steps towards resolving issue through talks, We talked with Vajpayee, Advani, Manmohan Singh, same thinking needs to be carried forward; Don’t want guns in hands of our youth; Don’t want Kashmir to take shape of Palestine; Mainstream parties must unite to save whatever is left with us.

    SRINAGAR OCT 04:- (KNO) Kashmir’s head priest Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Friday said he has never advocated gun and violence as a means of solution to the issue and that elections can’t be misconstrued as the settlement of Kashmir issue that is lingering since past seven decades.

    He also said that the Hurriyat was never against elections but against the “claims of projecting polls as a resolution to the vexed Kashmir issue that is lingering since past seven decades.”

    Addressing the Friday congregational gathering at the historic Jamia Masjid here, Mirwaiz spoke his heart-out and said that the unilateral decision taken by the Government of India on August 5, 2019 should in no case be misconstrued as the resolution of Kashmir issue. “The vexed issue is lingering and very much alive. We have always been advocating dialogue as the peaceful means of resolving this issue for the everlasting peace in the region but there was no seriousness on the other side,” Mirwaiz said as per news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO). He said that it was the Hurriyat leadership who talked on table with the then leaders that include Atal Bihari Vajpayee, L K Advani and Manmohan Singh.

    Mirwaiz said that the Kashmir issue should be resolved before it takes ugly shape like “we are seeing in the middle east how countries are locked up in a deadly battle. “United States has double standards as it calls for a ceasefire on one hand, and on the other, it provides special weapons to Israel to bombard Palestine, Iran and Lebanon,” he said. “I hope the Kashmir issue is resolved before it takes an ugly turn and takes the shape of war.”

    “I believe that there is a need for the same approach to carry forward,” Mirwaiz said. “Iron fist policy is not the solution. On August 5, 2019, our political rights were snatched and we lost our control on land rights, jobs and what not.”

    He said that Hurriyat doesn’t want to see guns in the hands of youth as “Kashmir conflict” has already consumed three generations. “We always vociferously call for a meaningful dialogue for the permanent settlement of the issue,” Mirwaiz said.

    Taking a jibe at J&K’s mainstream leaders, Mirwaiz said that they all claimed that they are fighting elections for the protection of rights of people. “Had they really been serious, they should have united and fought unitedly. But they preferred their personal interests over the larger interests of Kashmir,” Mirwaiz said.

    He said Hurriyat was never against elections but against the claims being made that these elections are resolution or referendum on Kashmir issue. “The reality remains that Assembly or Lok Sabha elections are only for the resolution for day-to-day issues that include Sadak, Bijli and Pani. The large issue which is the political dispute remains there. Elections can’t be misconstrued as the settlement of the Kashmir issue,” the head priest said.

    He said GoI must begin the process of resolving the Kashmir issue through “table talks.” “No iron fist policy will work,” he said. “Hurriyat leadership may be under jails serving detentions. Many of them are booked under PSA and many under UAPA. The fact, however, remains that Hurriyat continues to represent genuine aspirations and sentiments of people of Kashmir.”

    He also sought answers from the J&K administration as to why historic Jamia Masjid is closed on special religious occasion that include Shab-e-Qadr, Rabi-ul Awal, Jumat-ul-Vida etc. “Cant you see how people of Kashmir cooperate when there is religious festivals of other communities. Don’t you see how we cooperate to make Amarnath Yatra a grand success? Why is Jamia being locked and prayers disallowed when there are special Muslim rituals,” he said. Mirwaiz said that he has to attend the court in connection with his house arrest again. “I hope the better sense prevails and we also allowed to attend religious functions wherever they are held. Now that Rabi-u-Saani month has commenced, there are many programs, I am hopeful that I will be allowed to attend all,” he said—(KNO)
