Patna hospital murder case: 3 days police remand for prime accused
The court also sent to judicial custody the three co-accused who were arrested along with Tauseef in Kolkata and brought here on transit remand.
'All four arrested accused were brought here from Kolkata on transit remand. They were produced here before the competent court. The court ordered three days' police remand for Tauseef and sent three others to judicial custody. Tauseef has been sent to jail from where he will be taken into police remand (custody) on Tuesday for interrogation," Patna SSP Kartikeya K Sharma told PTI.
The Bihar Police, in a joint operation with Kolkata Police Special Task Force (STF), arrested Tauseef, the prime accused, his cousin Nishu Khan and their two associates Harsh and Bhim on Saturday.
Chandan Mishra, a resident of Buxar district who was a murder convict and out on parole, was shot dead by gunmen inside a private hospital in Patna on July 17 morning.
A purported CCTV footage of the incident, which went viral on social media, showed five armed men entering the ICU of the hospital and opening fire at Mishra.
According to the police, Tauseef was identified in CCTV footage.
'The remaining four shooters have also been identified but are absconding. A search is underway to arrest them," the SSP said, declining to divulge their identity.
Tauseef was wanted by the police in several criminal cases, and also booked in Arms Act and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Nishu was also wanted in cases related to the Arms Act, the police said. PTI PKD RG

Claim of order to arrest Bhagwat: Court says can't take as evidence
A DAY after the Special Court acquitted seven accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, allegations by a former Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) officer that he was asked to arrest RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat found mention in the detailed judgment, a copy of which was made available on Friday. The court, however, said that since he was not examined as a witness in the case, and his statement was made before a Solapur court, it cannot be construed as evidence. The order, which has a separate section titled 'Directions to arrest RSS chief', states that the lawyer of one of the accused, Sudhakar Dhar Dwivedi, had, during the trial, brought a statement made by the former ATS officer, Mehboob Mujawar, in a Solapur court which said: 'The senior ATS officers had given directions to him (Mujawar) to arrest Mr Mohan Bhagwat (RSS chief) by taking him in custody.' According to the statement, Mujawar denied Bhagwat's role and declined to arrest him. A false case was then allegedly filed by the ATS against Mujawar, who was later acquitted. The court observed that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) had already inquired with the former ATS officer on his allegations. On Thursday, Mujawar repeated these claims before the media. He named an IPS officer, who, he claimed, had asked him to arrest Bhagwat. He alleged that since he did not arrest Bhagwat, a false case under the Arms Act was registered against him (Mujawar) at the officer's behest and he was suspended. Mujawar claimed that a Solapur court later acquitted him in the case. The officer against whom the allegation was made did not respond. Posting a video clip of Mujawar's statement, the BJP said on X: 'This is not just a scandal, it is an abuse of power, a conspiracy against the nation, and a sinister plot to malign nationalists. Who were the higher authorities? Who has the political cover for this witch-hunt? Who tried to falsely frame the RSS chief?' In its order, the court said: 'The PW-320 (ACP Mohan Kulkarni, ATS chief investigating officer) had denied the suggestion given in his cross examination that Mehboob Mujawar was sent by them to bring one senior office-bearer of RSS. But admitted that he was sent to find out / trace out AA-1 (absconding accused Ramji Kalsangra) and AA-2 (absconding accused Sandeep Dange). He also denied the suggestion that Mehboob Mujawar publicly declared that the ATS shot dead two persons and hence, his name was not included in the list of witness filed with chargesheet.' The order also refers to the deposition of Anil Dubey, NIA's investigating officer, who said that Mujawar was called to the agency's office and they inquired with him about his statements in the media about the deaths of Kalsangra and Dange. In 2016, Mujawar had claimed that he was 'witness to their killings and the disposal of their bodies as victims of 26/11 terror attacks'. He claimed that the duo had been shot dead in custody by the ATS, and he was later asked to lead attempts to look for them. The two wanted accused have not been traced till date. The court said Mujawar was not listed as a witness, nor was he examined as a witness by either the prosecution or the defence. On the documents containing Mujawar's allegations mentioned in the Solapur court, the court said: 'The statement recorded u/s 313 of CrPC (Criminal Procedure Code, statement of accused) cannot be construed as evidence on the counts that the statement is not recorded before this court and in support of those documents, he is not examined as a witness before this court. So, merely placing some documents is not sufficient. It must be proved through the cogent and reliable testimony of the concerned witness.' 'Moreover, those documents show that it was his defence before the particular court and not before this court. Therefore, I did not find any force in the aforesaid contention raised by the Ld (learned) Advocate for the A-10 (Sudhakar Dhar Dwivedi),' concludes the section on Mujawar's allegations.

Minister's family running dance bar under mother's name gives up licence
Mumbai: Following allegations that the minister of state for home, Yogesh Kadam, was running a dance bar with a licence in his mother's name, the Kadam family reportedly surrendered the orchestra licence of Savali bar in Kandivli on Friday. Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Anil Parab criticised the licence surrender, stating it proves his allegations were right and that a dance bar with immoral activities was being operated by the Kadam family for years. Demanding Kadam's resignation, Parab argued that just because a thief returns stolen goods, he cannot be let off. "Yogesh Kadam must resign on moral grounds, but it seems the CM is helpless and can't take action against him. The law was broken by the MoS home, who is supposed to be the protector of the law," Parab said. Kadam did not respond to calls and texts from TOI on Friday. You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai Parab had met CM Fadnavis Tuesday to submit evidence that Kadam was allegedly running a dance bar with a licence in his mother's name. He also presented evidence that sand extracted from the Jagbudi river, intended for houses for poor farmers, was allegedly being diverted to a dental college linked to Kadam's family in Ratnagiri. Parab on Friday demanded action against Kadam, warning that if the CM does not take action, it will be assumed that he too is shielding dance bars. "The MoS home, who is the protector of the law, is trampling the law. It's a pity that the CM can't take action and is helpless. It's not too late. I have already given all the evidence to the CM. So far, there is no action on the licence holder. The police are under political pressure. So first, Yogesh Kadam must resign; otherwise, this will show the CM is helpless. The CM must show some spine," Parab said. "There is a Savali bar, its licence is in the name of Yogesh Kadam's mother. There were bar girls dancing there, obscene dances, and money was being thrown. All this information is in the police records and FIR. I got this information under the Right to Information (RTI) Act. Therefore, it cannot be false. Accordingly, when the raid was conducted, action was taken against 22 bar dancers, 22 customers, and four employees in the bar. They say that they do not run the dance bar; it is given to someone else to run. I am telling you the provisions of the law for your information: if a servant or someone authorised by the owner commits a misdemeanour, the responsibility lies with the owner. Police have all video footage of a dance bar being run there," Parab said.
