The inquiry conducted by the NIA revealed instances and proof of document forgeries, concluding that Rabi Islam and Mohammad Usman had got Aadhaar cards through illegal means.The spokesperson claimed that in order to further hide their genuine identities, the pair had also opened bank accounts and obtained more SIM cards using these cards. The official stated that the NIA, which began investigating the case on November 7 of last year, has made a substantial progress in locating and destroying a large-scale global human trafficking network with the release of this charge sheet.   [caption id="attachment_10283" align="alignnone" width="300"] 3 Nationals Of Myanmar Charge-Sheeted By NIA In Human Trafficking Case[/caption]

MLA Poaching Claim | Crime Branch Serves Fresh Notice On Kejriwal, Asks Him To Respond By Tomorrow

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.

In order to strengthen surveillance capabilities and create safer settings, the police in attendance were urged to become involved with local communities and help install CCTV cameras. Gupta also emphasised the necessity for strong action against drug dealers and other anti-social elements, as well as specific measures to accelerate the conclusion of cases that are still under investigation, such as backlogs and inquest hearings.The representative added that finding missing people and promptly handling complaints and online issues were also priorities. In response to the drug problem, Gupta asked the cops to eradicate the threat by using a mission-oriented strategy. In order to eradicate this threat to society, he urged for increased efforts to locate and destroy the networks involved in the illegal drug trade.
