Singer-Rapper Rahul Fazilpuria Narrowly Escapes Gun Attack In Gurugram
Two shots were fired at singer Fazilpuria's car at Badshahpur Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) in Gurugram. Fazilpuria, whose real name is Rahul Yadav, was driving through the village in Sector 71 when the attack took place. The bullet reportedly hit the pole installed in the middle of the divider, as bullet marks are seen on it. As part of the investigation, the police have uprooted the pole and taken it with them.
Rahul, a friend of YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT Season 2 winner Elvish Yadav, was in the news last year when the probe agency Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioned him in a money laundering case. Rahul was charged for allegedly using rare species of snakes and a .32 bore pistol in a music video.
In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Fazilpuria contested from the Gurugram constituency, representing the Jannayak Janata Party (JJP). He was defeated by BJP's Mukesh Sharma, who secured a victory by a margin of 1.22 lakh votes.

Special court halts further vigilance raids at Majithia's premises
A special court in Mohali has barred the Vigilance Bureau (VB) from conducting further raids at the premises of former Punjab cabinet minister and senior Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia without prior notice. The court directed that if any property assessments are to be carried out, the vigilance team must inform Majithia's counsel, advocate Arshdeep Singh Kaler, at least 24 hours in advance. The decision comes as Monday saw a raid by the VB at the Amritsar residence of the jailed SAD leader. This was the second raid on Majithia's Amritsar residence in the case. The first raid was conducted on June 25, following which the Vigilance Bureau arrested him in the case of disproportionate assets worth over Rs 540 crore. Speaking to the media, Kaler said the court has restricted the VB to assess only those properties specifically listed in the court order. He alleged that instead of being led by the investigating officer, multiple vigilance teams conducted surprise raids on Tuesday at the former minister's premises in Delhi, Amritsar, and Majitha, and deliberately leaked the operation to the media for publicity. 'The court has immediately ordered a halt to such unauthorised raids,' Kaler stated. The judge clarified that future visits to the premises must be strictly for evaluation purposes and only after prior notice to the defense. Additionally, the court directed the Vigilance Bureau to submit complete video recordings of Tuesday's actions as evidence in the next hearing, scheduled for July 22, 2025. The VB registered a disproportionate assets case against Majithia on June 25 at its Mohali headquarters. He was produced in court on June 26, following which the court granted a seven-day remand. During the custody, statements were recorded from several key figures including former DGP Siddharth Chattopadhyaya and ex-ED deputy director Niranjan Singh. Majithia was again presented in court on July 2 and remanded for four more days till July 6, after which he was sent to judicial custody for 14 days. On July 12, Majithia filed a petition citing security threats in jail.

ED attaches Rs 4.18cr properties related to Mukhtar Ansari
1 2 Lucknow: The Allahabad sub-zonal office of ED has issued a provisional order to attach six immovable properties worth Rs 4.18 crore in connection with a money laundering investigation linked to the late gangster-politician Mukhtar Ansari and his associates. The attached properties — belonging to Spectrum Infraservices Private Limited (a company owned and controlled by former Ghosi MP Atul Rai) and Jitender Sapra — include one residential apartment in New Delhi, three residential plots in Varanasi, and two agricultural land parcels in Ghazipur. The action was taken under the provisions of the PMLA, 2002. The ED investigation stems from an FIR registered in Mau district. According to the FIR, Vikas Construction—controlled by the late Mukhtar Ansari—illegally encroached on govt land in Raini village, Mau, where a godown was constructed. The ED found that Vikas Construction was operated under the influence of Mukhtar Ansari, with his relatives and close aides, including Atif Raza, as key stakeholders. Further financial tracing revealed that approximately Rs 8.49 crore of the POC was routed through companies owned by Ansari's network. These funds were layered into the banking system under the guise of business transactions and then transferred to accounts of firms owned by Atul Rai. With this latest action, the total value of property attached in the case stands at Rs 6.40 crore. The investigation is ongoing.

ED conducts multi-city raid; Rs 3.3 crore, luxury watches, high-end cars seized
Enforcement Directorate (ED) Tuesday conducted searches in Mumbai, Delhi, Indore and Ahmedabad in connection with its money laundering case linked to a criminal case in dabba trading and online betting. Dabba trading is an unregulated and illegal form of securities trading. During the operation, agency officials raided four places in Mumbai and seized unaccounted cash of Rs 3.3 crore, as well as luxury watches, jewellery, foreign currency, and luxury vehicles. Agency sleuths also seized cash counting machines. Sources said that during investigations, some applications like VMoney, VM Trading, Standard Trades Ltd, IBull Capital, LotusBook, 11Starss and GameBetLeague, were being probed for suspected dabba trading. Agency sources said that the online betting platforms operated through white-label apps and administrator rights that were exchanged on a profit-sharing basis. The probe agency has identified the hawala operators and fund handlers and were examining digital and financial records. ED initiated a money laundering investigation based on the case filed by Indore's Lasudiya Police Station early this year under sections 319(2) and 318(4) of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita. The ED was examining financial and operational activities of entities involved in illegal trading and betting platforms. Explaining their modus operandi, agency sources said that one Vishal Agnihotri, the beneficial owner of VMoney and 11Starss, acquired administrator rights of LotusBook betting platform on a 5% profit-sharing arrangement. He subsequently transferred these rights to Dhaval Devraj Jain, retaining 0.125% profit while Jain held 4.875%. Dhaval Jain, along with his associate John States alias Pandey, developed a white-label betting platform and supplied it to Vishal Agnihotri to operate Mayur Padya alias Padya, a hawala operator, handled cash-based fund transfers and payments for the betting operations, the agency source added.
