Punjab: ‘Nothing wrong has happened': Takht head granthi backs Mehron's act
The Akal Takht Sahib's head granthi, Giani Malkit Singh, on Monday justified the recent murder of social media influencer Kanchan Kumari, also known as 'Kamal Kaur Bhabhi', stating that the act was 'appropriate' in light of her alleged role in promoting obscenity. 'We should not listen to vulgar songs... This kind of treatment should be meted out to those who indulge in spreading vulgarity and defaming Sikh community. Nothing wrong has happened. This has happened earlier as well,' he told reporters. The Takht head granthi is the second highest position after the jathedar. While jathedar focuses on the issues concerning the entire community, head granthi looks after 'maryada' and daily routine rituals and ceremonies held at the highest Sikh temporal seat. Kumari's body was found inside a car in the parking area of Adesh University in Bathinda on June 11. According to police, Kanchan, a resident of Lachman colony in Ludhiana, was strangled to death. Two suspects, Jaspreet Singh and Nimratjit Singh, have been arrested while the main accused, Amritpal Singh Mehron, is reported to have fled to the UAE, as per police. Bhatinda senior superintendent of police Amneet Kondal said on Sunday that police had already issued a lookout circular against Mehron, a resident of Moga. Mehron (30) is a self-styled Sikh radical leader who heads a radical organisation, 'Qaum De Rakhe'. He is also accused of issuing threats to at least two other Punjab-based women social media influencers. The police said they have also blocked some of his social media handles. After the alleged murder, a video had surfaced on the internet where Mehron claimed that Kanchan was killed due to her 'immoral and vulgar content' on social media and two of his accomplices have been arrested in connection with the case. He also warned other influencers creating 'objectionable content' to refrain from such activities. Targeting another Punjab-based influencer, he said it is 'not necessary that a body will be found every time', as he indirectly referred to Kanchan's body being left in her car. Meanwhile, Amritsar-based social media influencer Deepika Luthra was provided security by Punjab Police after she received similar threats from Mehron and others.

Karnataka high court declines to bin CBI case againstCEO of US-based defence supplier
Bengaluru: The high court has declined to quash criminal proceedings against the president and CEO of California-based Akon Inc in a CBI case related to the supply of allegedly defective engines to an Indian defence establishment. Surya Sareen, named as accused no. 4, had sought to have the proceedings quashed, denying his direct involvement in the case. Justice M Nagaprasanna held that the case presents a prima facie instance of offences under Sections 420 (cheating) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of Indian Penal Code (IPC), involving disputed and documented facts that require examination during trial. The matter stems from a global tender floated on March 23, 2007, by the Defence Avionics Research Establishment (Dare), a Bengaluru-based lab of DRDO. Akon secured the contract and received a purchase order on July 11, 2007. According to the contract, 90% of the payment was to be made through a SBI line of credit upon delivery, with the balance payable after technical approval. Akon delivered 35 units between Feb 19 and 27, 2009, and Dare acknowledged receipt by March 11, 2009. However, concerns about irregularities in shipment emerged, prompting a CBI inquiry. Between 2009 and 2011, correspondence was exchanged among Akon, other accused parties and Dare regarding technical issues with the supplied equipment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo On March 16, 2012, Dare filed a complaint with the director (vigilance) highlighting procurement irregularities and unauthorised payments. Following an investigation, CBI filed a chargesheet on Dec 12, 2022. A special judge subsequently issued a summons to the accused on June 5, 2023. Sareen argued that no specific allegations of conspiracy were substantiated. He also raised concerns about delays in the investigation and maintained that Akon had multiple shareholders, questioning the attribution of liability to him individually. CBI maintained that Sareen, in his capacity as president of Akon, had knowingly supplied non-functional VO-based radio frequency engines, thereby misleading Dare. The agency also submitted that delays in the investigation were due to the sensitive nature of the case and prolonged communication with various parties. In his order, Justice Nagaprasanna observed that delays were justifiable given the international scope of the probe. He further noted that the presence of potential civil remedies does not preclude criminal proceedings, especially where both civil and criminal aspects coexist.
