Cops tweak murder report, court calls for action
The court of ADJ observed that the "deliberate negligence by the IOs during their probe into a case of brutal murder is certainly worth a revisit..."
"The IOs deliberately removed the name of accused Rohit Gupta, a trader, who hired his employee, Mohd Imran, to kill Dr
Sanjay Singh
. Before the chargesheet, Rohit's name was dropped, despite the trader being named by the victim's brother, Hariom Singh (also the eyewitness), in the FIR.
After Hariom's testimony, prosecution filed an affidavit highlighting negligence, and the court allowed a trial. Rohit then challenged the order in Allahabad HC, which is pending. And Rohit is being separately tried in Bareilly court," ADGC Sachin Jaiswal told TOI on Thursday.
Jaiswal added: "On Sept 16, 2020, Dr Sanjay, Hariom and their uncle were at the hospital. All of a sudden, Hariom heard the doctor screaming for help and they rushed towards him.

There, they saw Imran stabbing him. Hariom tried to catch Imran, but he fled. Rohit, who was seen waiting outside the hospital, was accused of staging the attack. Hariom claimed Rohit had earlier issued threats to kill the doctor."
During the trial, it was revealed that "the doctor ran a hospital on Rohit's land" in Bareilly. The local trader was pressuring him to vacate it, but the doctor asked for more time.
The court observed: "Despite having this information, no evidence was collected regarding the property dispute and rivalry between Sanjay and Rohit, nor was this evidence presented before the court.
Rather, in the last probe document, Rohit's name was separated from the investigation and a chargesheet was filed only against Imran."
The court of ADJ, Amrita Shukla, on Wednesday while pulling up the two IOs for the "biased probe", sentenced Imran to life in jail for the doctor's murder along with a fine of Rs 40,000 on him.
Meerut: A court in Bareilly has directed the DGP and SSP to probe the "biased actions" of two investigating officers — Virendra Singh Rana and Shoaib Miya — for trying to protect a trader accused of orchestrating the murder of a city-based doctor over a property dispute in 2020.

Rs 170000000000 loan fraud: Anil Ambani to appear before ED today in money laundering case
Rs 170000000000 crore loan fraud: Anil Ambani to appear before ED today in money laundering case Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani will reportedly appear before the Enforcement Directorate for questioning in a money laundering case linked to an alleged bank loan fraud worth crores of rupees against his group companies, official sources said on Friday. The federal probe agency, will record his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) once he deposes, has also notified a Look Out Circular (LOC) against the 66-year-old businessman to stop him from travelling abroad, the sources said. What is the case? The summons come after the federal agency conducted searches at 35 premises of 50 companies and 25 people, including executives of his business group, last week. The searches, launched on July 24, went on for three days. Some executives of Ambani's group companies have been also been summoned over the next few days. The action pertains to alleged financial irregularities and collective loan 'diversion' pegged at more than Rs 17,000 crore by multiple group companies of Anil Ambani, including Reliance Infrastructure (R Infra). The agency found, on the basis of a Sebi report, that R Infra 'diverted' funds disguised as inter-corporate deposits (ICDs) to Reliance Group companies through a company named CLE. It is alleged that R Infra did not disclose CLE as its 'related party' to avoid approvals from shareholders and audit panels. What has Reliance responded? A Reliance Group spokesperson said in a statement that the allegation regarding alleged diversion of Rs 10,000 crore to an undisclosed party was a 10-year-old matter and the company had stated in its financial statements that its exposure was only around Rs 6,500 crore. Reliance Infrastructure had publicly disclosed this matter on February 9, 2025, nearly six months ago, the statement said. 'Through mandatory mediation proceedings conducted by a retired Supreme Court judge and the mediation award filed before the Hon'ble Bombay High Court, Reliance Infrastructure arrived at a settlement to recover its 100 per cent exposure of Rs 6,500 crore,' it said. The company added that Ambani was not on the board of R Infra since more than three years (March 2022). The ED is also looking at allegations of 'illegal' loan diversion of around Rs 3,000 crore, given by Yes Bank to the group companies of Ambani between 2017-2019. The ED, the sources said, has found that just before the loan was granted, Yes Bank promoters 'received' money in their concerns. The agency is investigating this nexus of 'bribe' and the loan. What is ED probing? The sources said the ED is also probing allegations of 'gross violations' in Yes Bank loan approvals to these companies, including charges such as back-dated credit approval memorandums and investments proposed without any due diligence/credit analysis in violation of the bank's credit policy. The loans are alleged to have been 'diverted' to many group companies and 'shell' (bogus) companies by the entities involved. The agency is also looking at some instances of loans given to entities with weak financials, a lack of proper documentation of loans and due diligence, borrowers having common addresses and common directors in their companies, etc., the sources said. The money laundering case stems from at least two CBI FIRs and reports shared by National Housing Bank, SEBI, National Financial Reporting Authority and Bank of Baroda with the ED, they had said. These reports, the sources said, indicate that there was a 'well-planned and thought after scheme' to divert or siphon off public money by cheating banks, shareholders, investors and other public institutions.

Tribunal orders ₹49.46 lakh compensation for motorcyclist's death
The tribunal in the order on August 2 noted the accident was a result of contributory negligence, assigning 75 per cent blame on the offending truck driver and 25 per cent to the deceased motorcyclist Press Trust of India Thane The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) in Thane has awarded a compensation of Rs 49.46 lakh to the parents of a 24-year-old IT engineer who died in a road accident in 2019. The tribunal, presided over by member RV Mohite, in the order on August 2 noted the accident was a result of contributory negligence, assigning 75 per cent blame on the offending truck driver and 25 per cent to the deceased motorcyclist. The claim petition was filed by parents of the deceased, Swapnil Suresh Gulvi. According to the petition, Gulvi was riding his motorcycle on January 11, 2019, on Ghodbunder Road in Maharashtra's Thane city where he attempted to overtake a bus from the right near a bus stop. The bus driver allegedly applied sudden brakes, causing the motorcycle to collide with it and the rider to fall. Subsequently, a truck coming from behind ran over the motorbike rider's head, leading to his death. The deceased was an IT engineer, earning Rs 30,000 per month. The truck owner and the bus owner remained ex-parte, while their respective insurers contested the claim. The tribunal absolved the bus driver of any negligence, saying there was nothing on record to show he suddenly applied brakes to stop the vehicle at the bus stop. It observed that both the deceased and the truck driver failed to maintain a safe distance from vehicles in front of them, leading to the accident. "As proper distance was neither maintained by the deceased nor by the driver of the offending truck, then whole negligence is on the part of rear vehicles, i.e, of the deceased and of the driver of offending vehicle in regard to the occurrence of the accident," the MACT said. It also noted the truck was moving at an excessive speed at the time of the accident. Based on the analysis, the tribunal assessed the negligence of the truck driver at 75 per cent and that of the deceased at 25 per cent. The MACT calculated the total compensation as Rs 65,94,700, including loss of future income, future prospects and non-pecuniary damages. After applying the 25 per cent deduction for the deceased's contributory negligence, the final award was set at Rs 49,46,025. The tribunal directed the truck owner and its insurer to jointly and severally pay the amount to the claimants with an annual interest of 9 per cent from the date of the petition.
