ED raids Baghel's residence in Chhattisgarh
Baghel's office confirmed the development through a post on social media, stating, 'The ED came. Today is the final day of the Assembly session. The issue of logging in Tamnar for Adani was to be taken up. 'Saheb' has sent the ED to the Bhilai residence.'
ED officials said that after obtaining fresh evidence in the case, the Prevention of Money Laundering Act was invoked against Chaitanya who resides with his father.
Similar raids were conducted in March.
The ED suspects Chaitanya received criminal proceeds from the scam. The Chhattisgarh treasury suffered significant losses with Rs 2,100 crore which was diverted into the hands of the liquor syndicate.

Rising Suicide Cases Over Dowry Harassment Earlier this month, a 32-year-old Kerala woman was found dead with her toddler in Sharjah, with the police filing a case against her husband and in-laws. Vipanchika Maniyan -- a native of Kollam district -- allegedly died by suicide at her apartment on July 8. Her one-year-old daughter was also found dead. According to a report, a handwritten note in Malayalam -- believed to have been written by the dead woman -- was found in the house, detailing emotional distress and allegations of abuse. Maniyan's family has also accused her husband, Nidheesh Valiyaveettil, and his family of physical and mental harassment. They reportedly got married in 2020 and moved to Sharjah. Her mother claimed that following her marriage, Maniyan was regularly harassed over dowry, humiliated over her appearance, and isolated by her husband and in-laws. In a separate case, a woman in Uttar Pradesh's Baghpat, allegedly facing harassment by her in-laws over dowry, died by suicide earlier this week. 28-year-old Manisha, who got married to Kundan, a resident of Noida, in 2023, also left a suicide note written on her body. In the note written on her arm, legs, and stomach with a pen, she expressed the pain she was going through due to the harassment by Kundan and his family. "Kundan and his family are responsible for my death," she wrote in Hindi. She alleged they repeatedly asked her for a car and a huge amount of cash, despite her family spending Rs 20 lakh for the wedding and already having given a Bullet motorcycle in dowry.

Big Supreme Court Order In 2023 Custodial Torture Case In J&K's Kupwara
New Delhi: In an important ruling against custodial violence this morning, the Supreme Court has ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the alleged torture of a police constable back in 2023 at a Joint Interrogation Centre (JIC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara. The accused officials involved in the alleged custodial violence must be arrested within a month, said a bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta, drawing up a one-month deadline for the federal agency to complete its probe. The Jammu and Kashmir administration has also been ordered to pay a compensation of Rs 50 lakh to Khursheed Ahmad Chohan, who had sought legal remedy against custodial torture, for the violation of his fundamental rights. The court has asked the CBI to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the custodial violence allegedly occurred at the Kupwara JIC during February 23-26, 2023. The latest ruling reinforces the constitutional safeguards against custodial violence that constitutes violations of fundamental rights. It sets aside a high court ruling that had refused to quash charges under Section 309 (suicide attempt) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) against Mr Chohan. The constable had alleged that he was illegally detained for several days at JIC Kupwara in February 2023, during which he faced inhuman treatment that even included mutilation of his private parts. Quashing the FIR against Mr Chohan, Justice Mehta wrote in his judgment that continuing criminal proceedings against him under Section 309 (IPC) would be a travesty of justice. The court also ordered the CBI to look into the "systematic issues" at the JIC Kupwara, highlighting the need to assess the causes that led to the custodial abuse.

One held for committing financial frauds
Tirupati: The Government Railway Police (GRP) and Railway Protection Force (RPF) of Tirupati jointly arrested a fraudster on Sunday who had been cunningly deceiving train passengers by exploiting their trust and misusing their mobile phones for financial fraud. The accused, identified as Venu Babu from Ongole, was apprehended following a coordinated operation by the GRP and RPF teams. He had been targeting unsuspecting passengers by purchasing regular train tickets and blending in with fellow travellers. Through friendly and casual conversations during the journey, he would earn the trust of co-passengers before requesting their mobile phones under the pretext of needing to contact his relatives or friends. Once in possession of the victim's phone, Babu would covertly access mobile payment applications like PhonePe, Google Pay, and Paytm to transfer funds to bank accounts of his choice. The victims remained unaware of the fraudulent transactions until much later. During interrogation, Venu Babu confessed to a similar crime committed in October 2024 at Tirupati Railway Station, where he duped a passenger and fraudulently transferred Rs 87,000. Following diligent investigation, the authorities managed to recover the entire defrauded amount from the accused. Legal proceedings against him are currently underway. The GRP and RPF have urged passengers to remain cautious during train journeys. They specifically advised travellers not to hand over their mobile phones to strangers and to refrain from accepting food items or any goods from unknown individuals. Commending the swift action of the security forces, the Railway Department lauded the efforts of Dharmendra and Ramakrishna Reddy of the RPF, along with their teams, under the leadership of RPF Inspector Sandeep Kumar and GRP Inspector Aasirvadam.
