DK Shivakumar

NEW DELHI: DK Shivakumar, the head of the state Congress and deputy chief minister of Karnataka, has claimed to have received an income tax notice on Friday night.

The notification, Shivakumar said, related to a matter that had already been resolved.
 
In an interview with the media on the IT alerts to Congress, he revealed this.

"This is a democratic nation.

A law is in place. This type of action and direction to officials is coming from the BJP administration "Sivakumar remarked.

He declared that the NDA will be defeated by the INDIA bloc, which is why they are inciting panic among the opposition. "They are targeting the opposition, which means they are afraid of the Congress and the INDIA Alliance.

"The NDA will be vanquished by the INDIA Alliance. The BJP is aware of this vulnerability. They are aware that they won't win the election. That's why they're attempting to instill terror. I also received a notification from IT last night regarding an issue that has already been resolved," he continued.

Supreme Court requests ED's answer about Sanjay Singh's appeal against his detention and arrest in the Delhi Excise Policy scandal

Sanjay Singh and Supreme Court

In response to a plea filed by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh contesting his arrest and remand by the ED in the money-laundering case about the Delhi Excise Policy scam [Sanjay Singh vs Union of India and anr], the Supreme Court on Monday requested the Central government's and the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) response.

Singh has not submitted a bail request in this case, according to a bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and SVN Bhatti.

"Why do you avoid doing that? Notice will be given, but you must file (standard bail plea). "I don't believe that requesting bail will prevent you from coming here for additional relief," Justice Khanna said.

The Court further stated that the Central government and the ED must file their responses to the petition by the week that starts on December 11.

Singh was also allowed by the judge to apply for bail before the relevant jurisdictional court.

Singh's plea contesting his arrest was denied by the Delhi High Court in October.

As per the High Court's statement, attributing political motivations to the ED might potentially affect the nation's reputation.

The ED searched Singh's home on October 4 and then took him into custody.
The accusations made against Singh centre on his alleged involvement in the formulation and execution of the now-cancelled Delhi Excise Policy, which was purportedly designed to favour specific spirits producers, distributors, and retailers.

He was first placed under ED custody on October 5 and kept there until October 10, which was then extended until October 13.

He was placed in judicial prison for a period of 14 days on October 13. Singh subsequently filed a motion with the High Court, claiming that the arrest was an improper use of the judicial system.

Due to the plea's rejection, the Supreme Court is currently considering this appeal.

Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi defended Singh before the Supreme Court today.

With Singh's arrest, the AAP leader in the excise policy matter has been arrested three times in a high-profile manner.

In-charge of AAP communications While Manish Sisodia, the former deputy chief minister of Delhi, was arrested in February 2023, Vijay Nair was taken into custody in September 2022.

The Delhi High Court has dismissed Sanjay Singh's petition against his arrest by the ED in the Excise Policy case.

On Friday, the Delhi High Court dismissed Sanjay Singh's appeal contesting his detention by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the Delhi Excise Policy scam case and his subsequent arrest for money laundering. Sanjay Singh is a member of parliament for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

The ED is a top-tier investigative agency, and Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma dismissed Singh's appeal today evening while noting that doing so could damage the nation's reputation.

The Court added that there is now insufficient evidence to draw the conclusion that Dinesh Arora, an approver whose remarks helped lead to Singh's arrest, gave false information or acted illegally.

Sanjay Singh's attorney's claims that evidence was fabricated against the AAP leader cannot currently be taken into account, it was said.

The High Court is hearing a case involving Singh's arrest on October 4 following an ED search of his home. He was remanded to ED custody on October 5 for a period that was initially set for October 10 but was later extended to October 13. He was sent in judicial custody on October 13 for a period of 14 days.

Singh filed a petition with the High Court, claiming that the legal system had been abused by his arrest.

Singh was represented by Senior Advocate Vikram Chaudhari, who contended that Singh is a well-known leader who has never been summoned or asked to appear in court.

He added that the grounds for the arrest must be provided in writing by the ED prior to making the arrest, citing the Supreme Court's October 3 ruling in the M3M Reality case (Pankaj Bansal v. Union of India).

"The Supreme Court made a pretty unusual statement. The ED is a prime agency, and as such, it must be fair, according to one paragraph. According to the Supreme Court, they cannot be retaliatory. Nevertheless, they are still the juror, judge, and executioner," Chaudhari continued.

The accusations made against Singh centre on his alleged involvement in the formulation and execution of the now-cancelled Delhi Excise Policy, which was purportedly designed to favour specific spirits producers, distributors, and retailers.

With Singh's arrest, the AAP leader in the excise policy matter has been arrested three times in a high-profile manner.

In-charge of AAP communications September 2022 saw the arrest of Vijay Nair. Manish Sisodia, the former Delhi deputy chief minister, was taken into custody in February 2023. They are both still incarcerated.

Nanded hospital dean, doctor arrested for woman's death, and infant deaths

No comments

The police have registered a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder against Dr Shyamrao Wakode, the dean Dr Shankarao Chavan Government Medical College and Hospital and another doctor after a woman and her infant died at the hospital in Maharashtra’s Nanded district, officials said. The state government-run hospital has recently witnessed the deaths of 37 people, including 18 infants, in a span of four days.

Officials in Nanded Gramin police station on Wednesday night booked Dr Wakode and the chief doctor of the paediatric department on the complaint of Kamaji Mohan Tompe, the father of Anjali Manchek Waghmare, 22, who died Wednesday unaware that her baby girl had died two days ago.

According to Tompe, a farmer from Nanded, Anjali was first rushed to a primary healthcare centre by her family, and from there she was referred to a sub-district hospital. Since her condition did not improve, the family followed the doctor’s instructions at the sub-district hospital and got her admitted to the Dr Shankarao Chavan Government Medical College and Hospital on September 30, he stated.

"On October 1, she gave birth to a girl early, and my daughter and the baby were well at the moment. But, after a few hours, medical personnel told me that Anjali was bleeding and that her situation was getting worse. We were requested to set up blood by the doctors. No one was there when we organised blood packages and proceeded to the ward to deliver them to medical professionals and personnel, the man said in the complaint.

Tompe claimed to have seen Dr. Wakode and informed him that neither a doctor nor any personnel were available to care for his daughter. I had to wait a very long period. There was no personnel or physician dispatched to the patient. I was assaulted and kicked out when I followed up with Dr. Wakode about the situation. He added that the hospital staff did not provide his daughter or the child with any care and that he was not even permitted to meet them.

"Doctors and nurses were not dispatched to treat the patient despite being aware of their poor state. On October 2, around 6 am, the newborn passed away. Anjali also passed away on October 4 at 10:30 a.m., according to Tompe's statement in the FIR.

Nagnath Tompe, Anjali's brother, said that the family was not informed of the circumstances surrounding his sister and her child's deaths. "Doctors basically claimed Anjali died from heavy bleeding, while the infant died from polluted water in her mouth. My sister was still not able to be saved even though we had brought 14 to 15 packets of blood, Tompe stated.

According to Anjali's father, the family spent Rs 45,000 on prescription drugs and blood packs. Nagnath Tompe claimed that because his sister's health was in poor condition, the family did not tell Anjali about the newborn's passing. "We believed that this would have had a negative effect on her health. But she passed away tonight while receiving treatment," he added.

The family members were having a hard time comforting Anjali's mother at the hospital. Tompe stated, "My family and relatives are in great sorrow and don't know how to deal with a circumstance where two of your family members perished in just a matter of three days.

Manchek, the spouse of Anjali, works in a brick industry. The police will shortly take the dean and the other doctor's statements after they were arrested for guilty home invasion not amounting to murder and common interest, respectively, under sections 304 and 34 of the Indian Criminal Code (IPC).

In the aftermath of ED searches on AAP MP Sanjay Singh, BJP hoardings in Delhi demand Kejriwal's resignation.

On Wednesday, the Bharatiya Janata Party slammed Arivnd Kerjriwal's Aam Aadmi Party, saying, "AAP signifies 'Aur Adhik Paap.'" The remarks came after the Enforcement Directorate raided MP Sanjay Singh's home in connection with a money laundering investigation relating to the suspected Delhi excise policy scam.

"AAP signifies 'Aur Adhik Paap,' and the 'paap' (sin) of booze scam is coming out day by day," BJP National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said in a video message on X, previously Twitter.

"Now, we see that instead of delivering a report card on the liquor scam that has taken place under Arvind Kejriwal's watch and patronage, they are playing the victimisation card," said a BJP spokeswoman.

"If Mr Arvind Kejriwal has stated that they (AAP members) are 'Kattar Imandar' (very honest) and have committed no corruption, why are Manish Sisodia and Vijay Nair still in jail?" "Why haven't they been helped?" Poonawalla inquired.

"Today, when two approvers, one of whom is Dinesh Arora - a key architect and mastermind in the entire case (liquor scam) and he has allegedly also given a confession as to how Sanjay Singh is involved, how he was the one to introduce Manish Sisodia, how money was collected and funnelled into AAP's election campaigns in Delhi and other parts," he continued.

Poonwalla stated that there are other proofs, including digital evidence, of how evidence was destroyed and falsified. "There is now information that demonstrates that the 2.5% commission was hiked to 12%." The sting operation revealed how money was gathered and extorted..."


"It is also clear that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) permitted banned and manufacturing enterprises to enter and took no action against them. All of this documentary, digital, and other evidence was presented in court, and the party received no relief. Even now, the AAP plays the victim card "The BJP spokesperson stated.

"Arvind Kejriwal has admitted that there was corruption because they reverted to the previous policies and even extended them. Instead of assisting the people of Delhi during COVID-19, Kejriwal and his team put up liquor outlets in every ward of the national capital "he stated.

ED raids at AAP's Sanjay Singh residence

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) searched Sanjay Singh's home on Wednesday in connection with a money laundering investigation related to the suspected Delhi excise policy fraud. The raids were carried out a day after a court granted approval to two of the case's suspects.

The ED has already questioned the Rajya Sabha MP from AAP and people connected to him in this issue.

The Delhi government's excise policy for 2021-22, which grants licences to liquor merchants, is said to have facilitated cartelisation and favoured particular dealers who reportedly paid bribes for it, a claim strenuously denied by the AAP.

Raghav Magunta, son of YSR Congress Party Lok Sabha Member Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, and Delhi-based businessman Dinesh Arora were granted approval in a money laundering case relating to the alleged Delhi excise policy fraud by a Delhi court on Tuesday.

Magunta and Arora were both pardoned by Special Judge M K Nagpal, who also ordered them to help with the inquiry and provide whatever information they had regarding the crime to the investigators.

Singh wrote to Finance Secretary T V Somanathan in May of this year, claiming that the ED Director and Assistant Director purposefully connected his name to the alleged liquor scam without any foundation, ruining his public image and defaming him. He also stated that his name was inserted based on Dinesh Arora's remarks.
