ED Gets 7-Day Custody Of Former Minister Lal Singh Arrested In Money Laundering Case

Jammu, Nov 8: A day after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) detained former Jammu and Kashmir minister Lal Singh in connection with a money laundering case, a judge in this city remanded Singh to the agency's custody for seven days. A special court denied Singh's appeal for anticipatory bail, and he was taken into custody from his home in the Chawadi neighbourhood of Sainik Colony on Tuesday night. Singh is the chairman of the Dogra Swabhiman Sangathan Party (DSSP).The Enforcement Directorate was looking into Singh in relation to a case involving an educational trust that his wife, the former lawmaker Kanta Andotra, was running. The arrested accused was shown before the special court, according to special public prosecutor Ashwani Khajuria, who gave the ED a seven-day remand instead of the 14 days that the agency had requested. According to Khajuria, who quoted the decision, the special judge noted the accused's statement of physical discomfort and requested that he get a proper medical examination. Singh complained of being uneasy, according to officials, and was moved to the Government Medical College (GMC) Hospital in the early hours of the day.At approximately 3 p.m., he was escorted directly to the court after being released from the hospital. Singh, however, said that despite being brought to the hospital, he did not receive the necessary medical attention. "Even though I was at the hospital's emergency room, I was not given the proper medical attention, and numerous tests were not completed and my admit paperwork was not produced. As he was carried to the court, he informed reporters, "They have forced the physicians to state that I refused to get a CT scan. A large number of his fans had gathered outside the hospital in front of the Lok Sabha elections the following year, chanting anti-BJP chants and alleging that their leader was being set up in a bogus case.Singh, a three-time MLA and two-time MP, joined the BJP in 2014 after leaving the Congress. He served as a minister in the PDP-BJP cabinet that fell apart in June 2018 due to the national party's withdrawal from the coalition. A few months prior to the collapse of the government, Singh announced his resignation from the BJP and founded the DSSP due to controversy over his involvement in a demonstration endorsing the defendants in the January 2018 rape and killing of an eight-year-old girl in Kathua.He justified his attendance at the demonstration, nevertheless, by saying that his goal was to "defuse the situation." In an effort to investigate possible money laundering related to anomalies in the property transaction that resulted in the establishment of Andotra's educational trust and the involvement of a former government official, the Enforcement Directorate searched Jammu and its surrounding districts last month. On October 17, the federal agency raided approximately eight locations in Jammu, Kathua, and Pathankot, Punjab, in connection with a lawsuit brought against the head of the RB Educational Trust and a former revenue official named Ravinder S.The Jammu and Kashmir Agrarian Reforms Act, 1976 imposes a ceiling limit of 100 standard kanals. The money laundering case stems from an October 2021 charge sheet filed by the CBI in this case, which alleged criminal connivance in the issuance of land between January 4 and January 7, 2011, without mentioning details about violation of the act, thereby giving undue pecuniary advantage to trust. According to the CBI charge sheet, the trust used this information to purchase several parcels of land totaling roughly 329 kanals through the execution of three gift deeds on January 5 and January 7, 2011.   [caption id="attachment_5270" align="alignnone" width="300"] ED Gets 7-Day Custody Of Former Minister Lal Singh Arrested In Money Laundering Case[/caption]

“Congress President controlled by remote,” : PM Modi in Damoh

MADHYA PRADESH: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stepping up his campaigning for the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections, took aim at the Congress, accusing its esteemed president Mallikarjun Kharge of being controlled by a remote. Speaking at an electoral rally in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, on Wednesday, Prime Minister Modi stated that the public must continue to be vigilant of the Congress party. "Now is the moment to stay informed about the Congress party. That party divides society, plunders impoverished people's money, and engages in scams; to Congress, the growth of a state or the country is of little consequence.The president of Congress is operated via a remote. It is all he can do.He mistreats Sanatan when the remote is functional (Dharma). He mentioned the Pandavas and mentioned that the BJP is made up of five of them yesterday while the remote control was broken. We take pride in following the Pandavas' way," Prime Minister Modi remarked. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and Income Tax (IT) as the "panch pandavas" of the BJP while speaking at a campaign rally in Thatipur, Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior. "But these are not the actual pandavas (of epic Mahabharata fame), but the ones that need to be defeated," said Kharge. PM Narendra Modi continued his assault on the Congress, claiming that although the powerful party had power in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, its chief ministers were engaged in "satta" (betting) and the creation of black money. "Congress implies 'barbaadi ki guarantee'. There is betting in Chhattisgarh and a'red journal' of Congress atrocities in Rajasthan.The Congress made several untrue promises in the states of Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh. The party is aware that because of their history of corruption, the youth of MP don't trust them. Farmers were promised a discharge of their loans in 2018, but after waiting for 15 months, nothing changed, he continued.He continued by saying that I ruptured every tyre on the corrupt apparatus of the Congress when the BJP formed a government in the centre in 2014. "We created a 'trishakti' of Aadhaar, bank accounts and mobile that Congress' corrupt machine could not bear," he stated. "Our commitment is to move our nation forward, not to plunder its resources. Our pledge is to increase the capabilities of our compatriots, not to get votes," he declared. The Prime Minister went on to say that India is receiving praise from all quarters, including space. "All throughout the world, praise is being said today about India. Where no other country has gone, India's Chandrayaan-3 has succeeded. Everyone has been talking about the G20 meeting that was conducted in India. Every day, our athletes break new marks. With your blessings, I will carry on fighting corruption," he declared. One of the five states scheduled to hold elections in a single phase on November 17 is Madhya Pradesh. Voters will be tallied on December 3. Legislators from 230 Assembly constituencies will be chosen by voters. [caption id="attachment_5258" align="alignnone" width="300"] "Congress President controlled by remote,"…
