Rs 200-Cr Mall Scam: Delhi High Court Slams Authorities Over Undue Delay In Probe
Last Updated: The HC noted Anti-Corruption Branch's submissions that, despite repeated communications, the competent authority had not granted sanction to proceed against key public officials The Delhi High Court has strongly criticised the sanctioning authority for its failure to provide the necessary sanctions for the registration of a first information report (FIR) against public officials implicated in a scam involving the illegal commercial exploitation of a mall property. The high-ranking officials were involved in a Rs 200-crore scam relating to the illegal commercial exploitation of a mall property originally leased to SS Con-Build Private Limited. A single-judge bench of the High Court, presided over by Justice Shalinder Kaur, expressed severe displeasure at the undue delay and directed the authority to provide a detailed explanation within six weeks. The case involves the alleged continuation of commercial operations, despite the Delhi Development Authority's (DDA) termination of the lease in January 2020 due to unpaid dues exceeding 200 crore rupees. This continuation allegedly occurred through forged documents, shell companies, and the complicity of various government officers. During the hearing, the High Court noted the Anti-Corruption Branch's submissions that, despite repeated communications, the competent authority had not granted the required sanction to proceed against key public officials. 'Such delays not only impede the course of justice but also raise serious questions about institutional accountability and undermine public trust and frustrate the objective of an independent investigation," the bench said. Senior Advocate Vikas Pahwa, Advocate Gaurav Gupta, and Advocate Thakur Ankit Singh appeared for the petitioner. The matter is now listed for further hearing in August.

"Bhagwant Mann must resign and apologise": BJP slams CM Bhagwant Mann's comments over Operation Sindoor
Chandigarh (Punjab) [India], June 3 (ANI): The BJP has launched an all-out attack on Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann after he made a crass comment on Operation Sindoor. Mann, while addressing a news conference, referred to reports that the BJP would distribute Sindoor in households, saying, 'Will you wear sindoor in Modi's name?' Is this 'One Nation, One Husband' scheme? BJP Punjab spokesperson Pritpal Singh Baliawal shared the video of CM Mann's comments on X and said, 'Bhagwant Mann crosses all limits! Mocking Operation Sindoor, he shamelessly asks: 'Will you wear sindoor in Modi's name? Is this One Nation, One Husband?' Baliawal clarified that Operation Sindoor was a response to terrorists killing Hindus after checking their religion, with sindoor being a marker used to identify women. He accused Mann of having 'zero sensitivity' and criticised him for mocking the Indian Army, insulting Veer Naris, and turning sacred symbols into jokes. 'Let's set the record straight: There is NO BJP activity sending sindoor to every household. The name Operation Sindoor was used because terrorists were killing Hindus after checking their religion -- sindoor was a marker they used to identify women. This operation was about terrorism, martyrdom, and the protection of Indian lives, but how would Bhagwant Mann, a man with zero sensitivity, understand that? A man who mocks the Indian Army, Insults Veer Naris, turns every sacred symbol into a joke. Such a person will never understand the value of sindoor, which carries sacrifice, love, and devotion,' the post read. 'Bhagwant Mann must resign immediately and apologise to the entire nation,' the BJP Punjab spokesperson further said. BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari also hit out at Mann, saying, 'Shameful! Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann ridicules Operation Sindoor. Once again, the opposition shows its true face -- Disrespecting our armed forces and belittling a successful military operation. If this isn't anti-India in spirit, then what is? On May 7, India launched Operation Sindoor as a decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists in which 26 people were killed. Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen. After India's strike on terror infrastructure, Pakistan responded with cross-border shelling across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir and the International Border, as well as attempted drone attacks targeting civilian areas along the border regions. In response, India neutralised Pakistani air defence apparatus, radar infrastructure, and communication centres, and inflicted heavy damage across 11 airbases in Pakistan. After this, on May 10, an understanding on the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan was announced. (ANI)
