Police freeze 12 more bank accounts of Trinamool with over ₹1,000 crore

Police freeze 12 more bank accounts of Trinamool with over ₹1,000 crore The West Bengal Police on Friday (June 10, 2026) froze 12 more bank accounts of the Trinamool Congress with deposits of over ₹1,000 crore, following complaints of illegal diversion of funds. The police, and later the Enforcement Directorate, had earlier frozen the party’s three bank accounts with ₹440 crore. The Trinamool then challenged the police order in the Calcutta High Court, which allowed the party to use withdraw money from the accounts under judicial supervision. Party chief Mamata Banerjee moved the court on Friday (July 10), challenging the ED action. According to police officials, the 12 accounts were frozen after the cybercrime unit of the Bidhannagar Police sent a notice to several national and private banks. “We have also sought the details of those accounts. For now, they have suspended those accounts, considering investigation purposes,” an officer said. The action came on a first information report (FIR) registered on a complaint from MLA Sandipan Saha, who has now joined the Ritabrata Banerjee-led faction of the Trinamool. He has alleged illegal fund diversion from those accounts.

Supreme Court closes IPS officer’s plea on postpartum training policy

Supreme Court closes IPS officer’s plea on postpartum training policy The Supreme Court of India on Friday (July 10, 2026) disposed of a petition filed by Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Urvashi Sengar on a 36-year-old policy of the Union Home Ministry, which requires new mothers like her to take a year’s postpartum break from training. Sengar to pursue her pending case on the same issue in the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT). Sengar’s case without being prejudiced by subsequent orders passed by the Delhi High Court against her. In fact, the Centre undertook to withdraw its case against her in the High Court and protect her seniority in service. Sengar gave birth to her child on September 29 last year. Though she had volunteered for the requisite police service training, which was to commence on June 22 this year, the department refused her permission, citing the Ministry’s Office Memorandum (OM) of August 23, 1993, which provided for “a year’s hiatus in training post delivery”. Sengar had challenged the OM before the CAT, which permitted her to take part in the training programme. However, the government had moved the Delhi High Court and got a stay of the CAT’s interim order.

Expert panel against approving ₹10,000 crore Sharavathi Pumped Storage Project citing irreversible ecological harm

Expert panel against approving ₹10,000 crore Sharavathi Pumped Storage Project citing irreversible ecological harm In a major setback to the Karnataka government, an expert committee, appointed by the National Board for Wildlife (NBWL) has not only recommended against approving the proposed ₹10,000 crore Sharavathi Pumped Storage Project in Shivamogga and Uttara Kannada districts but also questioned the very rationale of the project proposed by the Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL). “...the proposed project activities are likely to result in habitat fragmentation, disturbance to wildlife, cumulative stress on forest and riverine ecosystems, and long-term degradation of ecological integrity in an area already under pressure from existing infrastructure. The present proposal lacks compelling technical merit, environmental sustainability, or alignment with public interest. Accordingly, in adherence to statutory conservation mandates, the committee does not recommend its approval,” it has been stated in the report of the site-appraisal committee. The report was submitted before a Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Vibhu Bakhru and Justice K.S. Hemalekha during the hearing of a PIL petition filed by Akhilesh Chipli of Shivamogga and two others from Shivamogga. The petitioners have challenged the project, situated within the Sharavathi Valley Lion-Tailed Macaque Wildlife Sanctuary and its Eco-Sensitive Zone, while contending that such a project is barred in a sanctuary area under Section 29 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. Singh, Raman Sukumar and Shivakumar C.M, Inspector General, National Tiger Conservation Authority, had submitted its report to the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change after inspecting the project area between December 27 and 30, 2025, and submitting its report to the NBWL’s Standing…

Delhi High Court orders Rajpal Yadav’s imprisonment in ₹9 crore debt case

Delhi High Court orders Rajpal Yadav’s imprisonment in ₹9 crore debt case The Delhi High Court on Friday upheld the conviction and sentence of actor Rajpal Naurang Yadav and his wife, Radha Rajpal Yadav, in multiple cheque dishonour cases linked to a financial dispute with Murli Projects Pvt. In a strongly worded judgment, the Court dismissed 21 petitions filed by the couple, ruling that there was no reason to interfere with the findings of either the trial court or the Sessions Court. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma observed that the petitioners had repeatedly failed to fulfil the commitments they made despite being granted exceptional leniency by the Court over several years. While reviewing Rajpal Yadav's conduct during the proceedings, the High Court noted that the predecessor Bench had indicated at the very first hearing that it was not inclined to interfere with his conviction on merits. However, his sentence was suspended after he expressed a willingness to settle the matter amicably with the complainant. The judgment records that Yadav repeatedly sought additional time to arrange the funds and, both personally and through his senior counsel, assured the Court on multiple occasions that he would repay the complainant. Trusting these assurances, the Court granted repeated adjournments and continued to suspend his sentence. Despite receiving several opportunities over an extended period, the actor failed to honour the undertakings given before the Court.
