Bihar: Life term to 7 Maoists for killing 2 persons 1st look out circular against Mallya for his detention was not sustainable in law: CBI ‘Some forces in JNU waging war against India’
MUNGER (BIHAR): A court here Tuesday awarded life imprisonment to seven Maoists for killing two persons in this district in 2010.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Tribhuwan Nath also slapped a fine of Rs 50,000 on each of them.
Of the total 11 accused, two were awarded life term on September 13 while two others died during the course of trial.
These Maoists had killed the duo including a chowkidar by slitting their throat on March 1, 2010 at Gugaldih village under Haveli Kharagpur police station of the district, Public Prosecutor Sandeep Kumar Bhattacharya said. NEW DELHI: The CBI said Tuesday that the first look out circular against embattled businessman Vijay Mallya for his detention at airport was not sustainable in law and needed correction as there was no warrant against him at that time.
The agency reiterated its position that there were no grounds to arrest Mallya on November 24, 2015 when he returned from London on the basis of the look out circular (LOC) issued on October 16, 2015 calling for his detention, agency sources said.
The first circular needed modification as Mallya had been cooperating with the agency, the evidence were still being collected, he was a sitting MP and there was no warrant against him, the sources said.
Realising the need for correction in the notice, the agency wrote to immigration authorities to change it from seeking Mallya’s detention to informing the CBI whenever he was travelling abroad.
The corrected look out circular was issued on November 24, 2015 and even after the issuance of the notice, Mallya continued to provide documents and answer questions of the investigating team, they said.
He appeared for questioning thrice and made foreign trips four times after the new LOC was issued, they said.
Sixty-two-year-old Mallya, facing charges of fraud and money laundering amounting to around Rs 9,000 crore, left the country on March 2, 2016 and is fighting litigation against his extradition to India. NEW DELHI: Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman Tuesday alleged there are forces in the Jawaharlal Nehru University which are “waging a war” against India and they are even seen with elected representatives of the institution’s students union.
The comments come days after candidates backed by Left groups won all four key posts in the JNU Students Union elections. Clashes broke out between members of the RSSbacked Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and the Left-affiliated All India Students Association (AISA).
“There are forces which are waging a war against India and it is they who are also seen with elected representatives of students union. That makes me
“The kind of things which have happened in the last few years (in JNU) are not really encouraging at all. It is very different to have a party whose ideology you may not agree with. But the way in which they were probably got led by forces which are anti-india,” she said.
“They are waging a war against India, say pamphlets. Their brochures say that. Such people leading the JNUSU or JNUSU members openly participating with such forces, you do not need to hesitate to say anti-india, therefore,” she said.
On February 9, 2016, an event against Afzal Guru’s hanging was held on the JNU campus during which antinational slogans were allegedly raised, propelling the varsity to the centre of a countrywide debate on nationalism.
