Bhopal ‘dowry death' case: Lookout notice issued against deceased woman's absconding husband

Bhopal ‘dowry death' case: Lookout notice issued against deceased woman's absconding husband Bhopal ‘dowry death' case: Lookout notice issued against deceased woman's absconding husband He has been on the run since the FIR was registered. He moved the Jabalpur court seeking anticipatory bail after and his plea may come up for hearing on Friday. The legal battle surrounding the death of 33-year-old former model-turned-actor Twisha Sharma intensified on Thursday, with both her family and her absconding husband, Samarth Singh, moving the Madhya Pradesh High Court. As the courtroom drama escalated, Madhya Pradesh police tightened the noose around Samarth Singh, a lawyer by profession and issued a Lookout Circular (LoC) to prevent him from fleeing the country and tripled the cash reward for information leading to his arrest to ₹30,000. Twisha, a Noida woman who is alleged to have been harassed for dowry, was found dead on the night of May 12 at her marital home in Bhopal's Katara Hills area. Police registered an FIR, charging her husband and her mother-in-law, Giribala Singh, a retired district additional judge (ADJ) with dowry death and harassment. Samarth Singh, who has been on the run since the FIR was registered, moved the High Court at Jabalpur seeking anticipatory bail after being denied relief by a sessions court, and his plea may come up for hearing on Friday. Twisha's family has approached the High Court to challenge a magistrate court's decision to grant bail to Samarth's mother Giribala Singh who currently chairs the Bhopal Consumer Court.

SC seeks Cabinet records in Rs 8,415-crore Yes Bank AT-1 bond write-off case

SC seeks Cabinet records in Rs 8,415-crore Yes Bank AT-1 bond write-off case - Litigation - 2 min read SC seeks Cabinet records in Rs 8,415-crore Yes Bank AT-1 bond write-off case The Supreme Court on Wednesday pulled up the Finance Ministry over the 2023 write-off of Yes Bank’s Rs 8,415 crore AT-1 bonds and asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to produce Cabinet meeting records, quorum details and related documents by 3 PM. Coming down heavily on the Finance Ministry, the Supreme Court on Wednesday asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to produce the Cabinet resolution, minutes of the meeting and related documents on the basis of which the decision to write off additional tier-1 (AT-1) bonds worth Rs 8,415 crore was taken in 2023. Mehta has to produce the minutes of the Cabinet decision by 3 PM today. A bench led by Justice Dipankar Datta asked Mehta, appearing for the Finance Ministry, to also submit “full disclosure of rules of the Cabinet meeting”, details of the quorum and the names of members present at the meeting that took the decision. The solicitor general suggested that he first produce the documents and then let the court take a view. “Is there any immunity that the court cannot see the file?” the judge asked the solicitor general, who argued that the Department of Financial Services under the Finance Ministry had written to the RBI about the Cabinet decision. Yes Bank, RBI and the Finance Ministry had moved the Supreme Court in 2023 against the Bombay High Court’s January 2023 order quashing the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) and Yes Bank’s decision to write off additional tier-1 (AT-1) bonds worth Rs 8,415 crore. Institutional investors such as mutual funds, including Reliance Nippon, and bondholders, including financial institutions and retail investors, had invested as much as Rs 8,415 crore in Yes Bank’s AT-1 bonds.

परमब्रत चटर्जी-स्वास्तिका मुखर्जी की बढ़ीं मुश्किलें, चुनावी हिंसा भड़काने का आरोप, FIR की मांग

परमब्रत चटर्जी-स्वास्तिका मुखर्जी की बढ़ीं मुश्किलें, चुनावी हिंसा भड़काने का आरोप, FIR की मांग बंगाली फिल्म इंडस्ट्री (टॉलीवुड) से बड़ी खबर सामने आ रही है. जिसके मुताबिक कोलकाता के गरियाहाट पुलिस स्टेशन में बंगाली सिनेमा के दो सबसे मशहूर और दिग्गज कलाकार परमब्रत चटर्जी और स्वास्तिका मुखर्जी के खिलाफ एक औपचारिक शिकायत दर्ज कराई गई है. जयदीप सेन नाम के एक शिकायतकर्ता ने पुलिस से मांग की है कि इन दोनों कलाकारों के खिलाफ तुरंत एफआईआर (FIR) दर्ज की जाए. शिकायत में इन दोनों पर मई 2021 में पश्चिम बंगाल विधानसभा चुनाव के नतीजों के बाद राज्य में भड़की हिंसा को बढ़ावा देने, लोगों को उकसाने और भड़काने का बेहद गंभीर आरोप लगाया गया है. 21 मई 2026 को दर्ज कराई गई इस शिकायत के बाद से ही मनोरंजन जगत और राजनीतिक गलियारों में हलचल काफी तेज हो गई है. सोशल मीडिया पोस्ट से जुड़ा है पूरा विवाद यह पूरा मामला आज से करीब पांच साल पुराना है, जो साल 2021 में पश्चिम बंगाल विधानसभा चुनाव के नतीजों वाले दिन का है. शिकायत के मुताबिक, यह सारा विवाद 2 मई 2021 को किए गए एक सोशल मीडिया पोस्ट से शुरू हुआ था. इसी दिन राज्य के चुनाव नतीजे घोषित किए जा रहे थे. आरोप है कि उस दिन शाम को करीब 4:00 बजे एक्टर परमब्रत चटर्जी ने अपने आधिकारिक सोशल मीडिया हैंडल से बंगाली भाषा में एक ट्वीट किया था. उन्होंने लिखा था— “আজ বিশ্ব রগড়ানি দিবস ঘোষিত হোক!” (जिसका हिंदी अनुवाद है: 'आज के दिन को विश्व 'रगड़ानी' [मारपीट या सबक सिखाने] दिवस घोषित किया जाए!'). शिकायत में आगे कहा गया है कि परमब्रत चटर्जी के इस ट्वीट के कुछ ही मिनटों बाद, यानी शाम 4:13 बजे एक्ट्रेस स्वास्तिका मुखर्जी ने भी इसमें अपना रिएक्शन दिया. स्वास्तिका ने कथित तौर पर इस ट्वीट का समर्थन करते हुए इसके जवाब में लिखा— 'Hahahah Hok Hok" (हाहाहा, होने दो, होने दो). शिकायतकर्ता जयदीप सेन का तर्क है कि दोनों कलाकार समाज की जानी-मानी और प्रभावशाली हस्तियां हैं. ऐसे में एक बेहद संवेदनशील माहौल के बीच उनकी तरफ से आए इस तरह के गैर-जिम्मेदाराना बयान साफ तौर पर जनता को हिंसा के लिए उकसाने और माहौल को खराब करने वाले थे. यह बयान उस वक्त आए, जब राज्य में पहले से ही…
