Witnesses saw large pile of cash; Justice Varma filed no complaint: Inquiry panel
Multiple witnesses saw a large pile of currency notes inside Justice Yashwant Varma's residence, but he never filed a police complaint or informed judicial authorities, a Supreme Court-appointed inquiry panel has found. The panel also termed the conduct of the Allahabad High Court judge 'unnatural' and recommended his panel investigating the recovery of a large stash of cash from the residence of Justice Yashwant Varma concluded that there is "sufficient substance" in the allegations against him. The committee found eyewitness accounts and visual evidence of a significant quantity of banknotes — some of them half-burnt — at the judge's Delhi home, and flagged his 'unnatural' conduct, including his failure to report the panel examined 55 witnesses, including Justice Varma's daughter, and found corroborative testimony from fire and police personnel as well as videos and photographs showing "a large pile" of Rs 500 notes strewn across the storeroom floor. One witness told the panel, "I was shocked and surprised by such a large amount of cash it was the first time I saw anything like it in my life".Despite this, neither Justice Varma nor any of his family members reported the matter to the police or brought it to the attention of senior judicial authorities. "No plausible explanation has been given the judge's claim of lack of knowledge is unbelievable," the panel noted, adding that "if there was any conspiracy, why did he not file a complaint or inform the Chief Justice of the High Court or the Chief Justice of India?"WHO ARE THE 10 WITNESSES?advertisementThe ten individuals who testified to seeing the currency notes include senior officials from the Delhi Fire Service (DFS) and the Delhi Police—those who were among the first to respond to the are: Ankit Sehwag (Fire Officer, DFS), Pradeep Kumar (Fire Officer, DFS), Manoj Mehlawat (Station Officer, DFS), Bhanwar Singh (Driver, DFS), Pravindra Malik (Fire Officer, DFS), Suman Kumar (Assistant Divisional Officer, DFS), Rajesh Kumar (from Tughlaq Road Police Station), Sunil Kumar (Incharge, ICPCR), Roop Chand (Head Constable), and Umesh Malik (SHO, Tughlaq Road Police Station).Furthermore, the committee said access to the storeroom, where the fire broke out and the cash was found, was controlled exclusively by Justice Varma and his family. It noted that the room was later cleaned out and the notes 'disappeared'.A private secretary to the judge allegedly directed fire officials to exclude any mention of the currency notes from their official report. According to the fire services, a superior officer told them not to pursue the matter further since "higher ups were involved".While the domestic staff denied seeing the cash, the panel said there was no reason to disbelieve the independent accounts of police and fire committee also rejected Justice Varma's defence that the episode was a 'conspiracy' to malign his image. "Currency notes were seen by multiple people and recorded in real time. It is implausible they were planted to frame him," it also flagged the possible roles of his private secretary Rajinder Singh Karki and his daughter Diya Varma in the 'destruction of evidence or cleaning of the spot.'Justice Varma first came under scrutiny in March when a fire broke out at his official residence. The inquiry has "undeniably established" that a substantial amount of cash, reportedly stacked 1.5 feet high, was recovered from the back to the Allahabad High Court in the wake of the incident, Justice Varma has not been assigned any judicial work. He continues to maintain his innocence and has neither resigned nor opted for voluntary retirement, calling the inquiry a "fundamentally unjust" Watch

Accused Shyamcharan Das reportedly took advantage of his girlfriend's business trip to Sikkim and gave the rented flat's keys to his brother Ramcharan, asking him to steal gold jewellery. He directed his brother to the exact spots where the gold was kept in the flat that he often visited. Shyamcharan himself travelled to Sikkim to meet his girlfriend, ensuring he was not seen as a suspect.
