Kidneys Removed During Uterus Surgery; Probe Agency ED Case Against Fake Doctor
New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a prosecution complaint under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) before a special court in Patna against a quack and his assistant in a case of alleged "organ removal and financial fraud". The economic intelligence agency initiated the investigation based on an FIR registered by a police station in Bihar's Muzaffarpur for offences under various sections of IPC, 1860 and the Transplantation of Human Organs Act, 1994, an ED statement said. The ED Patna zonal office filed a prosecution complaint on June 17 under the provisions of the PMLA before the special court (PMLA) at Patna against Pawan Kumar and Ravindra Kumar alias R K Singh in the case of alleged illegal organ removal and financial fraud, the agency said. The special court took cognisance of the prosecution's complaint on July 17. The ED investigation revealed that one Sunita Devi, accompanied by her mother Tetari Devi, visited Shubhkant Clinic in Muzaffarpur for the treatment of her uterus. Pawan Kumar, the operator of Shubhkant Clinic, allegedly in connivance with Ravindra Kumar alias R K Singh, a quack, advised surgery for her supposedly damaged uterus and "demanded Rs 20,000", the statement said. During the operation, both of Sunita Devi's kidneys were allegedly removed along with her uterus, contrary to the claim that only the uterus and tumours were removed. Post-surgery, Sunita Devi's health deteriorated, and she stopped urinating. Subsequent medical examinations confirmed the removal of both kidneys, leading to her death. Additionally, an extorted amount of Rs 40,000 was allegedly taken from Sunita Devi's family members at another hospital, totalling Rs 60,000, which is considered Proceeds of Crime (POC), the ED said. The ED investigation further revealed that Pawan Kumar and Ravindra Kumar allegedly conspired to commit the crime, generating POC amounting to Rs 60,000, which was utilised for their personal benefits, the statement said. In the police case, Pawan Kumar has been convicted by a special court (SC/ST Act), Patna, while Ravindra Kumar is currently facing trial, it said.

Self Chain Ousts CEO Ravindra Kumar After $50M OTC Scam Allegations
Layer-1 blockchain Self Chain announced that it has terminated its CEO Ravindra Kumar after allegations of a $50 million over-the-counter (OTC) scam. The allegations broke on Friday with claims that Kumar was involved in a string of OTC scams including firms such as Aza Ventures, which published the allegations on Telegram. Kumar responded at the time by posting: "I've been accused of serious wrongdoing, which is completely false. My legal team and I are working on a statement to address this matter. Stay tuned for updates." An OTC transaction is one that takes place outside of an exchange in order to avoid slippage on larger transactions. It often involves the buyer, seller and a middleman brokering the deal. The Self Chain token (SLF), which trades on Binance, is now down by 35.9% in the past week after selling off in relation to the allegations. "Ravindra Kumar's role as CEO has been formally terminated," Self Chain wrote in a Monday tweet. "He will no longer hold any position, responsibility, or association with Self Chain in any capacity going forward." No Self Chain founding members have ever been authorized to engage in OTC deals involving $SLF," it continued. "Any other deals circulating in the market have not been officially approved or sanctioned by the team in any way whatsoever." Kumar retweeted Self Chain's tweet and removed reference to himself as CEO from his profile.

Jaikrishn trapped as part of a political conspiracy: BAP
Over a month and a half after Bharat Adivasi Party (BAP) MLA Jaikrishn Patel was caught allegedly taking a Rs 20 lakh bribe, the party said Sunday that it has concluded in its internal investigation that he was trapped as part of a 'political conspiracy'. Party's national president Mohan Lal Roat told The Indian Express that there are plenty of things pointing towards a political conspiracy. 'There are discrepancies in the press conference by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (following Patel's arrest) and the FIR lodged in the case. It is said there were about 48 calls between the two (MLA Patel and complainant Ravindra Kumar). But our MLA replied 1-2 times but most of the calls were by him (Kumar).' Next, Roat questioned the idea of money being given in lieu of 'withdrawing' three Assembly questions when two of these were already answered last year and were in the public domain. 'What was the idea behind taking money to 'withdraw' the questions put up in July last year, when the government had clearly and promptly answered those questions.' Party MP Rajkumar Roat too has questioned the circumstances, saying, 'Since 1952, there must have been about 3,000 MLAs in Rajasthan; excluding those who repeated, there must have been 2,000 to 2,500 MLAs so far in the state. But this was the first time an MLA was trapped. From what our team has investigated, he was trapped as part of a conspiracy.' 'The person on the other end called 40-42 times. Why would the person, who was the MLA candidate for the now ruling party, get scared and give a bribe to the MLA of a regional party? This was planning and this was a conspiracy,' the MP said, referring to complainant Ravindra Kumar's father Ramniwas Meena. While Ravindra Kumar had contested 2023 Assembly elections from Karauli as a BSP candidate and stood third – behind BJP and Congress candidates – his father, Ramniwas Meena and co-owner of the mines, had contested the 2023 election from Todabhim on a BJP ticket but lost to Congress's Ghanshyam Mahar. On May 4, first-time MLA Patel, and a middleman Vijay Patel were arrested by the ACB for allegedly accepting a Rs 20-lakh bribe – the second instalment of a Rs 2.5 crore bribe – in lieu of withdrawing Assembly questions on mining. The ACB had said this was the first instance of it arresting an MLA in the state, and the mines in question are in Todabhim, about 600 kilometres away from the MLA's constituency in Banswara. Party chief Roat said that things would be clearer once they get to meet the MLA. 'We haven't been able to meet the MLA. They are not giving us time to meet, (but once this happens) this will help us clear more things. Moreover, the BJP candidate too had said that he won't let him (Patel) stay around for more than six months,' he said, referring to BJP leader Mahendrajeet Singh Malviya. 'So, due to all of this, we have concluded that he was trapped as part of a conspiracy,' the party chief said. Malviya was elected from Bagidora Assembly in 2023 on a Congress ticket but had left the party to join the BJP last year. He had then unsuccessfully contested the Banswara Lok Sabha (which includes Bagidora Assembly) against BAP's Rajkumar Roat. In the Bagidora bypoll too, BAP's Jaikrishn had defeated BJP's Subhash Tamboliya by a convincing margin of over 51,000 votes. The party's five-member team which investigated the case included party's three MLAs Umesh Meena (Aaspur), Thavar Chand (Dhariyawad), Anil Kumar Katara (Chorasi), party's national spokesperson Jitendra Meena, and party leader Kanti Bhai. MP Roat also said that Patel was 'trapped by people in power as part of a conspiracy. And the people have understood, because the Panchayat Samiti seat which the BJP had won earlier with 600 votes, lost in the by-election. The people have given a befitting reply.' 'We know that if he has made a mistake then his membership might be terminated. But we will have more clarity only once we meet him, and what is said in the chargesheet etc,' party's national president Mohan Lal Roat said.
