1. Dipke granted bail after undertaking to maintain peace for one year following preventive arrest

Dipke granted bail after undertaking to maintain peace for one year following preventive arrest

Delhi Police placed Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke under preventive arrest and released All India Students’ Association president Neha Bora early Saturday morning after detaining both on Friday. Later in the day, Dipke was granted bail after submitting a written undertaking to maintain peace and tranquillity for one year. According to police, Bora was released after completion of formalities under Section 65 of the Delhi Police Act. Preventive action was taken against Dipke under sections 126 and 170 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. Bora was detained from Mandi House and taken to RK Puram police station, where she was kept overnight before being released around 5am Saturday. An officer said she was detained before sunset and kept at the police station. After her release, Bora questioned the repeated detention of protesters during the movement over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. She alleged that people were being detained without clear reasons, kept for hours and released the next morning or evening. Bora said that while the practice had existed for a long time, it was now being witnessed every day, and alleged that the government had crossed the boundaries of legality. She asked why the detentions were taking place and how they were being used to instil fear among ordinary citizens, adding that they witnessed it first hand. On Friday night, a delegation of lawyers and civil society members reached Parliament Street police station, demanding Bora’s release, and remained there for several hours until late into the night. Dipke was detained outside a residence in Jhandewalan in central Delhi ahead of CJP’s ‘Lehra Do Tiranga’ march at Delhi’s Connaught Place on Friday. Before the detention, a team of more than 10 police personnel reached the residence and asked him not to proceed with the proposed demonstration. Police cited the possibility of traffic congestion, concerns over public safety and disruption to commercial activity as reasons for opposing the march. The latest action comes days after Dipke and fellow CJP members Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were detained in connection with the protests. The three were released on Oct 11 after furnishing surety bonds of Rs 50,000 each and undertaking to maintain peace and good behaviour for one year.

3. ED arrests Mukesh Kumar Pukhraj Jain in Rs 30,000 crore cyber fraud case, PMLA court remands him to ED custody till 19 October

ED arrests Mukesh Kumar Pukhraj Jain in Rs 30,000 crore cyber fraud case, PMLA court remands him to ED custody till 19 October

The Enforcement Directorate arrested Mukesh Kumar Pukhraj Jain, also known as Mukesh Bhai, on Friday in connection with transactions linked to cyber fraud and digital arrest proceeds across the country. A special PMLA court sent him to ED custody until 19 October. Jain is accused of arranging, for a commission through brokers, deposits via RTGS into bank accounts connected to a network of cyber fraudsters. The ED is investigating suspicious financial transactions worth about Rs 30,000 crore. The probe began after a first information report was registered by Goa Police on 9 June 2025. It is alleged that cyber fraudsters, by threatening a woman in Goa with digital arrest, got her to transfer Rs 2.60 crore into secret surveillance accounts between 21 May and 2 June 2025. The investigation found that the fraud proceeds reached about 400 bank accounts, after which cash was withdrawn and converted into foreign currency. According to the ED, business entities linked to the network carried out banking transactions of more than Rs 27,850 crore, while Rs 2,904 crore was deposited in cash. The bank accounts of these entities were linked to 163 first information reports registered in 20 states and union territories and about 300 cyber fraud complaints. A total loss of Rs 417.49 crore was reported in these cases. In digital arrest, cyber criminals pose as police or investigation agency officials and use audio or video calls to frighten people and pressure them to transfer money. There is no legal provision for digital arrest in India. Victims of such fraud can file a complaint on cyber helpline number 1930 or the website cybercrime.gov.in. Separately, in Kozhikode, Kerala, a 57-year-old woman was defrauded of Rs 1.35 crore by cyber fraudsters. The accused claimed to be officials of the Mumbai Crime Branch and threatened to implicate her in criminal cases. According to police, the woman received WhatsApp calls between 22 September and 15 October. The fraudsters got her to transfer Rs 1.35 crore in 13 instalments on the pretext of verification with the RBI. The investigation is ongoing. The report cites inputs from news agency PTI.

4. Kerala High Court declines stay on state government order reconstituting Waqf Board

Kerala High Court declines stay on state government order reconstituting Waqf Board

The Kerala High Court refused to stay the State government's reconstitution of the Kerala State Waqf Board. A Single Bench of Justice S. Manu considered two petitions filed by former board chairperson K.S. Hamza and member C.K. Usman Haji seeking immediate intervention. The court held that the State government possessed the implied authority to cancel appointments made to the previous board. It also stated that formidable contentions had been raised in the petitions and said the reconstitution order would be subject to the outcome of the petitions before it. Mr. Haji argued that the nomination of nine out of the 11-member board was challenged in a batch of public interest litigation petitions pending before a Division Bench. He said the Division Bench had issued orders finding prima facie that the previous Waqf board's constitution was not in tune with the United Waqf Management, Empowerment, Efficiency and Development (UMEED) Act, 2025. He further argued that the State government was not authorised to reconstitute the board; it was only allowed to reconstitute after meeting specific conditions under the UMEED Act and after allowing time for the board to show cause why it should not be superseded. He argued that the reconstitution order violated the governing law and should not remain in force. Mr. Hamza alleged that the government order reconstituting the board was violative of a previous High Court directive to fill vacancies on the previous board. He alleged that the government's move contradicted its undertaking before the High Court that it would fill the vacancies in accordance with the UMEED Act. Mr. Hamza argued that the State government was not authorised to supersede an earlier government order appointing the chairperson and members of the board, whose term was for five years. He had been appointed as chairperson on March 13, 2026.
