US just dept. to probe pardons issued by Biden in last days in office
Washington, June 3 (UNI) US Pardon Attorney Ed Martin informed his staff that he has been instructed to investigate the pardons issued by then-President Joe Biden during the final days of his administration, Reuters reported, citing the senior official's email. More specifically, Martin plans to investigate whether Biden "was competent and if others were exploiting him through the use of AutoPen or other methods," the report said on Monday. US President Donald Trump, along with senior officials and Republican lawmakers, has claimed that Joe Biden used an autopen to sign nearly all documents, raising questions about whether he was the sole individual with access to this device. Martin's investigation is centered on the preemptive pardons Biden granted to several family members, as well as the clemency that spared 37 federal inmates from the death penalty, converting their sentences to life in prison, according to the report. In his final days in office, Biden granted clemency to his siblings—James Biden, Frank Biden, and Valerie Biden Owens—along with their spouses, John Owens and Sara Biden. Additionally, on December 1, Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, who had pleaded guilty to tax violations and was convicted on firearms-related charges. On May 18, Biden's personal office said that the 82-year-old has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. UNI SPUTNIK GNK

TN CB-CID unearths multi-crore Iridium Copper scam posing as RBI officials, six held
Chennai, June 3 (UNI) In a significant breakthrough, the Tamil Nadu Crime Branch-CID wing has unearthed a multi-crore Iridium Copper scam by the culprits posing as RBI officials and arrested six people in this connection. A CB-CID release here on Tuesday said those arrested included five from Tamil Nadu and one from Telangana and several incriminating materials were seized from them. It was a case of cheating of public by some groups across Tamil Nadu and neighbouring states by collecting unauthorized deposits claiming that several thousand crore rupees has been received from the central government through RBI for the sale of iridium copper. They also con them saying service fee has to be paid to RBI and commission has to be paid to higher officials of RBI to release the said amount. These scamsters assure exorbitant returns in the range of crores by showing fabricated RBI bonds to make the victims believe their scam. The scam came to light when a complaint was lodged by a civilian in February 2024 on the 'Sachet' website of Reserve Bank of India for lodging complaints against unauthorized deposit accepted by unincorporated bodies. Subsequently, a complaint was filed by RBI Assistant General Manager A.J. Kennedy in May 2024 to the Chennai Police Commissioner and the same was directed to the CBCID. After conducting a preliminary enquiry, a case has been registered in Salem OCU CBCID unit U/s 419, 465, 468, 471, 420 IPC and 66 D Information Technology Act 2000 r/w five Emblems and Name (Prevention of Improper use) Act, 1950 and taken up for investigation in March 2025. During investigation, the accused persons Nithyanandham, Chandra (both from Thanjavur district of Tamil Nadu) were arrested and remanded on May 28. Further investigations led to the arrest of four more accused Anbumani from Dharmapuri district, Muthusamy a native of Salem district, Kesavan also from Salem and Gadi Charla Kishore Kumar of of Telangana state. They were subsequently remanded in custody. The release said a gold-coloured metal, few forged documents, Cell phones with incriminating materials have been seized from the accused persons. Inquiries revealed that the accused have cheated many people across Tamil Nadu and in Andhra Pradesh. So far, around 20 victims from Chennai, Thanjavur, Coimbatore, Salem, Namakkal and Dharmapuri, have been identified and said to have been cheated of money to the tune of Rs 4.5 crores collectively by the accused persons. The scamsters induced victims to invest money in the allegedly secretly maintained central government Iridium trade scheme by showing forged credit certificates in the name of the depositors with RBI emblem. Thereafter, when the victims contacted them for the promised returns, the accused kept dodging them. After a point, they hired persons to pose as RBI officials and meet the victims in star hotels in Delhi or Mumbai and assure them of returns. Once this is done, they even go to the extent of creating a bank account and share credentials with the victims saying money will be deposited in this account. Investigation is going on to arrest remaining persons of this racket and to identify more victims. UNI GV 0630
