In UK, Yunus says no direct communication with British PM
Yunus told 'The Financial Times' newspaper that the UK has a 'moral responsibility' to assist Bangladesh in tracing and retrieving funds 'stolen' by the previous regime and allegedly funnelled into Britain. Downing Street sources indicated that no formal meeting had been agreed during the Chief Adviser's visit to London this week. London, Jun 12 (PTI) Bangladesh interim government Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus has said that he has had no direct communication with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in connection with the recovery of 'stolen money' allegedly under the previous Hasina regime in Dhaka. 'I have no direct conversation with him,' Yunus told the 'Financial Times' with reference to Starmer. 'I have no doubt he would support us. This is stolen money… We need the support from the people of Great Britain,' he said. The 84-year-old Nobel Laureate took over as the head of the interim government after former prime minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted in a massive student-led protest in Bangladesh in August last year. She is believed to be living in exile in India since then. In December, an anti-graft panel in Bangladesh had launched an investigation against Hasina and her family in connection with the allegations of embezzling USD 5 billion in the Rooppur nuclear power plant. Yunus, who is currently in the UK on a four-day visit, is on a mission to 'bring out more enthusiastic support,' the Chief Adviser added. Hasina's niece and Labour party MP in UK, Tulip Siddiq, had resigned as a minister in the Starmer Cabinet in the wake of allegations against her family benefitting from Hasina's Awami League regime. She has denied any wrongdoing and had sought her own meeting with Yunus during his UK visit. 'This is a legal issue… a legal process. It's not personal involving me,' said Yunus, refusing any meeting with Siddiq. On June 1, Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal indicted Hasina, in absentia, and two others on several charges, including mass murder, for their alleged role in the violent crackdown on student-led protests last year.

SC junks plea of conman Sukeshs wife for expeditious bail hearing
Last Updated: New Delhi, Jun 12 (PTI) The Supreme Court has rejected the plea of Leena Paulose, wife of alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekar, in a Rs 200 crore extortion case for an expeditious hearing of her bail plea in Delhi High Court. A bench comprising Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Manmohan observed her bail application was pending before the Delhi High Court and said, 'Considering that the bail petition is partly heard before the high court and is now posted for further arguments on July 2, 2025, we are not inclined to entertain this special leave petition. The special leave petition is, accordingly, dismissed." The top court on Wednesday added, 'It is expected that the High Court shall dispose the bail petition pending before it at the earliest and in accordance with law." Paulose moved the top court against a May 19 order of the high court, which posted her plea in July. Delhi Police has booked Chandrashekar for allegedly duping the wives of former promoters of Ranbaxy Shivinder Singh and Malvinder Singh of Rs 200 crore. Several separate investigations against him in the country are currently underway. Chandrasekhar and Paulose, who are also facing proceedings in a money laundering case of the Enforcement Directorate, were arrested by Delhi Police in the extortion case. The police have also invoked the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in the case. First Published: June 12, 2025, 17:00 IST
