editor February 4, 2024Leave a comment

New Delhi, Feb 4: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal received a new notice from the Delhi Police Crime Branch on Sunday, requesting that he provide proof by Monday in response to his accusations of BJP poaching attempts. In the poaching claim case, the Crime Branch also served minister Atishi, a leader of the AAP, with a notice requesting a response within three days. "The Crime Branch of the Delhi police is looking into a complaint regarding your claims that the BJP has promised the sitting AAP MLAs Rs 25 crore each in exchange for their departure from the party and joining the BJP. It further stated, "The notice from the Crime Branch states that it looks from your tweet that you have information and evidence related to a cognizable crime. Please submit the information and answers to the Crime Branch by February 5." AAP leader Atishi was served a notice earlier in the day by a Crime Branch team in relation to her allegations that the BJP was attempting to overthrow the government as part of "Operation Lotus 2.0" by luring the party's MLAs away with financial inducements.Fellow party leader Jasmine Shah commented on the notices sent to Atishi and the AAP convenor, stating that they are only a few letters on a piece of white paper and do not refer to the FIR that the BJP filed in relation to the poaching allegation. A Delhi Police Crime Branch squad visited Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's home yesterday. Their intention was to give him a notice. Before giving the warning to a CM office representative, they waited for five hours. The notice is neither a summons, nor does it contain any reference to the FIR. Not even a mention of a preliminary investigation is made. Additionally, no reference is made to any IPC or CrPC section. It's just some words written on a white paper," he remarked. Shehzad Poonawalla, the leader of the BJP, responded to the AAP by claiming that Kejriwal and his "henchmen" are not only the "un-crowned kings of corruption," but have also turned into "fugitives." "They hit and run when accusations are made against them, and they flee when accusations are made against others. If you have proof that your accusations are not unfounded, provide it to the authorities, assist with the inquiry, and let everyone know which MLA and how they were lured. Is this the same kind of accusation you made against Nitin Gadkari and the late Arun Jaitley, only to later issue an apology? In the past, they had threatened to quit if even one accusation was made against them and an inquiry was ordered. Forget about quitting now—they're not even prepared to assist with the probe," he remarked. Pravesh Verma, a BJP MP, claimed that the AAP frequently makes false accusations to deflect attention away from accusations or prosecutions brought against them."Up until now, Kejriwal has not disclosed which MLAs were contacted and offered financial incentives to switch." He hasn't disclosed who from the BJP met these AAP leaders either. When we met with the commissioner of Delhi Police, we warned him that we would not take such charges against our party lightly. They fled when the Delhi Police Crime Branch showed up at their door to deliver summonses for evidence. They would have volunteered and replied to these notices if there was any validity to their allegations, according to Verma. Gautam Gambhir, a BJP MP and former cricket player, once claimed that people who are sincere and honest never elude the law.Rather than hiding and making excuses to flee, they confront every circumstance. It merely serves to highlight their way of thinking and perspective, stated Gambhir. Atishi had earlier said that the BJP had threatened and offered payments to a number of AAP MLAs in an attempt to win them over to their cause.

According to the statement, the ATS has detained Satendra Siwal, the son of Jaiveer Singh, who lives in Shahmahiuddinpur village in the Hapur district police station area. According to the statement, Siwal is currently assigned to the Indian Embassy in Moscow, Russia, and works for the Ministry of External Affairs.The statement said that the ATS was receiving intelligence from a number of confidential sources indicating that the handlers of the Pakistani intelligence agency, ISI, were using certain individuals to entice Ministry of External Affairs employees with money in order to obtain strategically significant information about the Indian Army. This information is likely to pose a serious threat to both India's internal and external security. In its investigation using electronic and physical surveillance, the ATS discovered that Siwal was engaged in anti-Indian activities with the network of ISI handlers and that he was giving them crucial, secret information about the strategic undertakings of the Ministry of External Affairs, the Ministry of Defence, and the Indian military establishments in exchange for money.According to the statement, Siwal was invited to the ATS field unit in Meerut and subjected to a legal interrogation. During the interview, he confessed to his wrongdoing because he was unable to provide adequate explanations. Under Section 121A of the IPC (waging war against the country) and the Official Secrets Act of 1923, a FIR has been filed against Siwal, who is employed as the India Based Security Assistant (IBSA) in the Indian Embassy in Moscow, Russia, as of 2021, at the ATS police station in Lucknow, according to the statement.

SRINAGAR, Feb 3: Following the arrest of a self-styled doctor, officials in district Anantnag today requested information on all physicians working at private hospitals and clinics in the area in order to keep an eye on and identify medical professionals with questionable qualifications. In this context, the names of practicing physicians, their degrees, J&K Medical Council registration numbers, and mobile numbers have all been requested from the district's private healthcare managers.In a related circular, all private clinics and hospitals in District Anantnag were asked to provide information about their practicing physicians within three days, emphasising the importance of systemic transparency. The Chief Medical Officer (CMO), Anantnag, took the necessary measures after discovering a doctor working at a clinic in Mehman Gali, Anantnag district, who was purportedly using phoney degrees. Through the efforts of a social activist in the district, the so-called doctor, named as Gulzar Ahmad, who was accused of posing as a gastroenterology falsely, was brought to light.After over ten days of fieldwork, social activist Dr. Abdul Bari Naik and his team discovered that the practitioner was not only in Anantnag but also in several other areas like as Srinagar, Budgam, and Ganderbal. "We discovered that the individual was seeing patients at Dar Medicos, Ganderbal; National Drug Store, Hawal; and Mankind Pharmacy, Nowshera, in addition to Medwin Pharmacy in Anantnag," Dr. Bari stated. Additionally, claims were made that the doctor's degrees were falsified and did not actually belong to him.The prescription reveals that he has an MBBS degree with an MD in general medicine as well as a certified superspecialist in gastroenterology. "Even the degree he has been showing from PGI Chandigarh is tampered with; it indicates that he has also studied in London, which does not seem to be the case," Dr. Bari said. Nevertheless, the so-called doctor made the decision to run away and ask for forgiveness when the activist and the "Excelsior" team tried to speak with him about the situation. "He gave me someone else's registration number when I visited the clinic as a patient. "I verified; every degree was fraudulent," Dr. Bari remarked.District health authorities became aware of the situation and quickly closed the facility and started an inquiry. Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Anantnag, Dr. M.Y. Zagoo, stated to: "We have taken action; the pharmacy was sealed quickly, and we are currently looking into the allegations; we will make sure his credentials are verified, and appropriate action will be taken; in addition, we have directed private hospitals and clinics to submit information about practicing physicians."It should be mentioned that a case involving a fraudulent doctor who was observed wandering the Lal Ded Hospital claiming to be a cardiologist had surfaced earlier this year. Following a public outcry, the authorities established an inquiry committee tasked with investigating the situation and submitting any necessary recommendations. Nevertheless, neither the committee's findings nor the authorities' knowledge of the corrective actions implemented to avoid future incidents have been made public as of yet.
