Postmortem report reveals ND Tiwari's son died 'unnatural' death: Police

Delhi: DP Special Cell arrests JeM terrorist from Red Fort area

Banned cricketer S Sreesanth, who was earlier arrested in connection with the 2013 spot-fixing scandal, Wednesday claimed in the Supreme Court that he had made the confession about his involvement in the alleged crime as Delhi Police had threatened that his family members would be implicated and tortured.&nbsp;

Taking into account his submissions made through his lawyer, the apex court questioned him why he had not immediately brought it to the notice of the BCCI that he was being approached for alleged spot-fixing during the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2013.

The apex court observed that the conduct of Sreesanth, facing a life ban, in the entire episode was "not good".

Sreesanth, who was discharged by a trial court in 2015 in a criminal case related to alleged spot-fixing, told a bench of justices Ashok Bhushan and K M Joseph that life ban imposed on him by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was harsh and there was no evidence to substantiate the claim that he indulged in any illegality.

"The police had threatened me that my family members would be tortured and implicated unless I confess," senior advocate Salman Khurshid, appearing for Sreesanth, told the court.

The 35-year-old cricketer has challenged in the apex court the decision of a division bench of the Kerala High Court which restored the ban imposed on him.

Khurshid said it was not established that any spot-fixing was done in the match played between IPL teams Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab at Mohali in May 2013 and there was no evidence that the cricketer received any payment for doing this. "Why didn''t you (Sreesanth) bring it immediately to the notice of the board (BCCI)," the bench asked Khurshid after he referred to recorded telephonic conversations between alleged bookies.

The senior counsel said Sreesanth had failed to inform the board about him being approached for spot-fixing but even if he did not do this, the maximum ban that could be imposed upon him was five years. 
"All this indicates that conduct of S Sreesanth was not good. There is no doubt about this," the bench said.

Khurshid argued that as per allegations, Sreesanth was supposed to concede 14 runs in an over but he gave away 13 runs in that over which he bowled to "two of the best batsmen" -- Adam Gilchrist and Shaun Marsh. "At the worst, it could be said that I (Sreesanth) had the knowledge that somebody was trying to do fixing and I should have brought it to the notice of the authorities. If that is the case, the total ban could be up to five years," he said.

He said the world over, bans have been imposed on cricketers for indulging in such activities and except former South African captain Hansie Cronje, who later died in 2002 in a plane crash, life ban was not imposed on anyone.

Khurshid referred to the case of former Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin, who was accused for his alleged involvement in a match fixing scandal of 2000, and said that life ban was imposed on him but it was reversed later.

On November 8, 2012, the Andhra Pradesh High Court had termed the life ban imposed by the BCCI on Azharuddin as illegal and said it is unsustainable in law.

"My (Sreesanth) desire is to get back my honour," Khurshid told the bench, adding, "Ultimately, I am wasting my professional career. At least, let me play outside India. Every year, I am getting offers to play.

"I have been given life ban for an offence which is not at all established," he said, adding that there was no evidence of payment of Rs 10 lakh to Sreesanth for the alleged fixing.

Khurshid said recorded telephonic conversations did not show that the match was fixed and evidence produced by Delhi Police was not accepted by the trial court. Senior advocate Parag Tripathi, appearing for Committee of Administrators (CoA) of BCCI, raised the issue of veracity of translation of the telephonic conversations referred to by Sreesanth''s counsel and said he needs to file a reply on this.

Tripathi said he would also respond to the additional documents filed by the petitioner. The bench asked Tripathi to file his response and posted the matter for further hearing on February 20.

The apex court said that Sreesanth''s counsel may also file the certified copy of complete transcripts of telephonic conversations that have been brought on record.

Sreesanth had earlier told the top court that he has offers to play English county matches and life ban imposed on him by the BCCI is "too harsh".

The apex court had last year asked the Delhi High Court to decide expeditiously the appeal filed by the Delhi Police challenging a trial court order discharging several accused, including Sreesanth.

Delhi Police had arrested Sreesanth, along with cricketers Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan, and others on charges of spot fixing.

As many as 36 accused in the spot-fixing case, including Sreesanth, Chavan and Chandila, were discharged by a trial court here in July 2015. The BCCI had, however, refused to alter its disciplinary decision of life ban on Sreesanth even after the trial court''s verdict.

A single-judge bench of the Kerala High Court had lifted the life ban imposed on Sreesanth by the BCCI and had set aside all proceedings against him initiated by the board.

Later, a division bench of the high court had restored the ban on a petition filed by the BCCI against the single-judge bench''s order.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday asked the Delhi Police to change its attitude and treat the people in a friendlier manner.

He said that the police officials should pay more attention towards this."If someone comes to the police station to lodge a complaint, can`t we talk to them politely? If a complainant is waiting for hours, can`t we ask them for water?" Singh asked.

Singh`s comments came while addressing the gathering on the occasion of the flagging off a fleet of 300 modified motorcycles-- Raftaar of Delhi Police--to tackle street crimes and make the city safer for women.

The Home Minister also asked the Delhi Police to become a role model for other states Police forces. He also asked it to take stern action against those involved in criminal activities.

Singh said, "I will ask Police Commissioner to ensure arrangements of tea stalls for complainants at police stations if possible and the Home Ministry will provide funds for it. Why can`t police personnel present themselves as role models?"

Speaking about enhancing the strength of the police, Singh said that the Home Ministry is considering filling up 12,000 posts out of which approval has been given for the recruitment of 4,000 posts.

The Home Minister said that 300 more such modified motorcycles would be inducted soon in the Delhi Police for better patrolling.These motorcycles are equipped with modern communications technology, GPS and alarm system.

Delhi LG Anil Baijal and Delhi Police Commissioner Amulya Patnaik were also present on the occasion.&nbsp;

Rajnath asks Delhi Police to treat people politely

Seven policemen, including an assistant commissioner of police, were injured as protesting farmers turned violent while trying to enter the city from Uttar Pradesh in defiance of prohibitory orders, Delhi Police claimed on Tuesday.

As it drew flak for what the opposition parties termed as "brutal" action against the protesters, the city police said it used only "minimum required force" to control the situation.

Police said a section of protesters, who were participating in the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) march, suddenly turned violent as the cops tried to persuade them not to break the barricades.

Police said they used 20 tear gas shells and water cannons to manage the crowd, adding it was "minimum required force". As many as 3,000 police personnel were deployed to ensure that the farmers were not able to enter Delhi.

Since morning, the farmers gathered at Ghazipur border between Delhi and Ghaziabad in several thousands.

Senior officers including Special Commissioners of Police (Law and&nbsp;Order), joint commissioners of ranges and district deputy commissioners of police were personally supervising the arrangements, and maintained constant liaison with their UP counterparts, the Delhi Police said.

Announcements were regularly made on public address system about promulgation of prohibitory orders and requests were specifically made not to attempt entry into Delhi forcibly on tractor-trolleys since there was no permission for the same, they said.

"The protesters were also assured through their leaders that their demands are being projected at appropriate levels, and their movement will be duly facilitated in an orderly fashion without tractor- trolleys," the police said, adding it had specially deployed buses for ferrying the farmers to the city.

Talks were also going on in this regard with the leaders of various factions of the protesters, they said.

Despite requests that the protesters wait for the outcome of the talks between their leaders and the government, a section of the crowd suddenly turned violent and tried to break the barricades with tractor-trolleys and were also carrying lathis, they added.

"Tractor-trolleys were used with violent force by this aggressive section to break down three layers of strong barricading.&nbsp;Some protestors also resorted to stone pelting and wielded lathis causing injuries to police personnel deployed on duty," the police alleged.

"Under these circumstances, only the minimum required force was used to contain these aggressive and violent protestors.

"However, after using water cannon and tear gas shells on a limited scale, the situation was brought under control, and thereafter use of any force was discontinued forthwith, resorting again to persuasive tactics," they added.

Seven police personnel, including an assistant commissioner of police, were injured during this process. The ACP suffered a shoulder dislocation after he was roughed up by some of the protesters, the police said.

No other serious injury was reported to Delhi Police, they said.

The situation was brought under control and was closely monitored thereafter so as to facilitate talks between leaders of the farmers union and the government.

The city police had on Monday imposed prohibitory orders in east and northeast Delhi, anticipating law and order problems as thousands of BKU headed for Delhi.

The main demands of the agitating farmers include implementation of the recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission report, removing ban on the use of tractors which are more than 10 years old, clearing out pending payments of sugarcane purchase, increased price of sugar supplied and minimum support prices.&nbsp;

Crowd turned violent despite requests: Delhi Police on action against protesting farmers

JNU student leader Umar Khalid has filed a complaint with the Delhi Police that he and Gujarat's Independent MLA Jignesh Mevani had received death threats from a man who identified himself as fugitive gangster Ravi Pujari, a senior official said today.

Khalid tweeted that he has asked for police protection.

"Filed a complaint with @DelhiPolice regarding Ravi Pujari's death threat to Jignesh and me. He said that I am on his HIT LIST! I have asked for police protection, given the fact that this is the same person who had previously also issued similar threats of killing me in Feb 2016 (sic)," he said.

Yesterday, Khalid approached the police with a complaint over the threats and a case was registered, the police official said, adding that they are investigating the matter.

The student leader said that he was informed by Mevani about the threats, and he has not received any call himself till now.

"Mevani has been receiving death threats for the last two-three days. In one of the calls he received, the caller had mentioned my name too. He had mentioned that if we don't stop giving speeches we would be killed.

"Mevani informed me and I approached the police. A case has been registered and they said that they will do a threat assessment and take a call on providing police protection," Khalid told PTI.

Mevani too had alleged yesterday that he has received death threats from Pujari.

When asked whether the calls were being received in relation to the arrests made by the Pune Police on June 6 in connection with the Bhima-Koregaon violence, he said, "I am not aware about the context. Pujari has not mentioned that he was calling in that context. I don't feel it is a coincidence that the calls (to Mevani) started coming from that day (the arrests were made)."

Elgar Parishad, organised to commemorate 200 years of the Koregaon Bhima battle, was held on December 31 at Shaniwarwada. It was attended by Mevani, Khalid along with Rohit Vemula's mother Radhika Vemula and Bharip Bahujan Mahasangh President Prakash Ambedkar.

In 2016, Khalid's father Syed Qasim Illyas Rasool had filed a police complaint, claiming that he has received a phone call "threatening to kill" his son if he doesn't leave the country.

This incident had happened when the police was looking for Khalid in connection with the sedition case filed against him, former JNU students' union president Kanhaiya Kumar, and Anirban Bhattacharya for allegedly organising an event against the hanging of 2001 Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.

Guru was hanged in 2013.

CBSE paper leak: Delhi Police arrest two teachers, coaching centre owner

Days after Economics and Maths paper leaks rocked the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) examination, a whistleblower has come forward with the claims that Political Science paper was also made public.

The Economics question paper of class XII and Maths question paper of class X were leaked on social media hours before the examination.

The Economics exam was held on March 26 and Maths on March 28.

Talking to ANI on the condition of anonymity, the man said, "I am 100 per cent sure that Political Science question paper was also leaked.

He had contacted the person through YouTube who was leaking the paper and informed the CBSE about the paper leak on March 17 but no action was taken.

Protests by the students outside the CBSE office in New Delhi continued today. "Students are suffering due to CBSE's mistakes," a protesting student said.

A Special Investigation Team has been formed to investigate the case and will be headed&nbsp;by Joint Commissioner Alok Kumar, Special Commissioner of Police RP Upadhyaya said.

Section 144 has been imposed near Human Resource Minister Prakash Javadekar's residence in the national capital's Kushak Road.

The SIT will conduct a press conference tomorrow.

"Seven college students, 11 school students and seven tutors have been questioned," said RP Upadhayay, Special CP (crime).&nbsp;

Sources told DNA that a few students caught hold of an insider who had access to question papers. Police officials are also scanning the roles of the printing press.

The college students who were questioned are mostly first-year students. They are from the same school as the students who received questions or met them at institutes.

The police is also trying to trace from where leaks were transmitted. Crime Branch sleuths have asked CBSE to explain the process of setting up papers, where they are stored and how they are distributed, DNA reported.

The protesting class 10 and 12 students yesterday alleged that the CBSE leaked question papers of Maths and Economics were being sold outside a Delhi school in Kailash Nagar for Rs 8,000 to Rs 18,000, media reports said. 
 
The Delhi unit of the All India Democratic Students' Organisation yesterday demanded a high-level probe into the CBSE question paper leak case, and said it showed the board's "utter negligence" in conducting examinations fairly.

The person, Vicky, is the main suspect in the paper leak, Delhi Police said.

"College students claimed they passed on questions received through WhatsApp just to help juniors. Message trail is being tracked. Vicky was first questioned on Monday, but no evidence was found against him and he was let off then," a police official said.

The CBSE officials are also being questioned in the paper leak case.&nbsp;

The CBSE also said that the fax it received mentioned two schools in the same area who were involved in the alleged exam paper leak.&nbsp;

Police was trying to establish the trail — who leaked the paper, how was it transmitted and who were the beneficiaries, special commissioner of police (crime branch) RP Upadhyaya said.

“We have no information that CBSE paper leak is pan-India, but if such a thing emerges, we will send teams outside Delhi,” Upadhyaya said.

The Delhi Police said on Thursday that they have registered two cases. The first case in connection with the leak of economics paper was lodged on Wednesday while the case pertaining to mathematics paper was lodged on Thursday, following a complaint by the regional director of CBSE.

The examination for Class 12 Economics paper was held on March 26 and the exam for Class 10 Maths was conducted on March 29 (Wednesday), hours before the CBSE announced its decision to re-conduct the two examinations.

CBSE Chairperson Anita Karwal said on Wednesday that the decision to hold re-examination of two subjects was taken in favour of the students and the new dates for the tests would be announced soon.

The remarks came a day after the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), in a circular, said that students would have to take re-test for Class 10 mathematics and Class 12 economics subjects.

We have taken the decision in favour of the students and in utmost fairness. Very soon we will announce the dates (for re-test). Any further decision would also be taken in the favour of the students, she said.

"Students don't have to worry about anything. We are with them," she added.

The Congress has demanded the sacking of the CBSE chairperson for the alleged lapse.

The opposition party also sought the resignation of Prakash Javadekar and a probe by a high court judge.

Javadekar termed the CBSE examination paper leak issue "unfortunate" and said the culprits would not go scot-free.

The minister said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken the issue "very seriously".

We are trying to ascertain the source of these messages. Since Whatsapp messages are end-to-end encrypted, we are facing a bit of difficulty in tracing the source," said an officer privy to the probe. Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Union human resource development minister Prakash Javadekar on Wednesday, calling for strict action against paper leaks in keyboard examinations. Reports about the economics paper being leaked had circulated on social media, including on WhatsApp, several hours before the paper commenced on Monday. The CBSE, however, denied any leak and urged students and parents not to panic. "We have checked with all exam centres and the paper was not leaked. The source of circulation of this information is not known yet. We want to urge the students and parents to not panic and assure them that the board is doing its best to ensure sanctity of the examination," a senior CBSE official had said. On Monday, panic had gripped students of Class 12 following claims on social media that the economics paper had been leaked even though the Central Board of Secondary Education denied there was any slip-up. Dates for the re-examination of the Class 10 mathematics and Class 12 economics papers would be posted on the CBSE website within a week, the circular said. On March 15, the Delhi Government had said it had received complaints of the Class 12 CBSE accountancy paper being leaked.The government had ordered a probe, even as the board denied any leak.

The Jawaharlal Nehru University Teachers Association (JNUTA) had on Thursday announced a march to Parliament on Friday in support of their demands including immediate withdrawal of notifications replacing chairpersons who were opposed to implementing compulsory attendance.

The teachers&#39; body had requested other associations to join the protest march.

The JNUTA had earlier launched a three-day &#39;Satyagraha&#39; inside the campus to raise these demands.

On the University Grants Commission granting full autonomy to JNU, Minz had said, &quot;JNUTA strongly opposes such moves which are being implemented in order to promote privatisation in the name of autonomy.

&quot;In these circumstances we are left with no other option but to intensify our struggle to save the public university,&quot; she had said.

The JNU administration has appealed to students and professors to restore normalcy in the campus and allow the institution to function without interruptions.

JNU row: Police detains protesters agitating over compulsory attendance

V K Jain, the advisor to Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, has resigned citing personal reasons and family commitments, days after he was questioned by police in connection with the alleged assault on Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash, sources said today.

&quot;Jain has resigned from the post of advisor to the Delhi chief minister citing personal reasons and family commitment,&quot; one of the sources told PTI.

He has submitted his resignation letter in the Chief Minister&#39;s Office (CMO) and sent a copy to the lieutenant governor, the source added.

He was appointed to the post in September last year, days after he had retired as the CEO of the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB). The board is chaired by Kejriwal.

Jain had not been coming to the CMO since the incident and had gone on a week-long medical leave, the sources said.

Prakash was allegedly assaulted by AAP MLAs during a meeting at the chief minister&#39;s residence in the evening of February 19.

The Delhi Police had last week told a court that during interrogation, Jain disclosed that AAP MLAs Prakash Jarwal and Amanatullah Khan surrounded the chief secretary and saw them assaulting him at Kejriwal&#39;s residence.

However, Jain had earlier said that he did not see anything as he had gone to the washroom at the time of the incident.

The alleged assault on Prakash took place in the presence of Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia.

In solidarity with Prakash, IAS and Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar Islands Civil Services (DCS) officers have not been attending meetings with AAP ministers, and only maintaining written communication with them.

The joint forum of the Delhi government employees has demanded action against Kejriwal and Sisodia in connection with the case.&nbsp;

The Crime Branch of city police today brought 2008 Ahmedabad serial blasts accused Abdul Subhan Qureshi here from Delhi, over a month after the Delhi police&#39;s special cell arrested him, a top official said.

He was produced in the special court set up for conducting the trial of the blasts case, which remanded him in police custody till March 23.

Serial blasts killed 56 people and injured 240 others in Ahmedabad on July 26, 2008.

&quot;Qureshi is one of the key conspirators of the 2008 blasts. He had been in touch with the absconding accused, such as founder leader of the banned outfit Indian Mujahideen Riyaz Bhatkal, and had worked with some of the arrested accused,&quot; Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) J K Bhatt said here.

So far, police have arrested 81 persons in the blasts case, while thirteen are absconding.

&quot;Qureshi stayed in Vatva locality in Ahmedabad where he trained and mentored other accused...And was in touch with IM mastermind Bhatkal. We have learnt he also attended a terrorist camp in Halol and another camp in Kerala,&quot; Bhatt said.

&quot;We will take him to Vatva, Vadodara, Halol and another place where he had stayed before the blasts. We would like to find out how he was associated with the SIMI and IM, and who helped him,&quot; the senior police official said.

Qureshi, who holds a diploma in electronic engineering, is technology savvy, and played important role in making the explosive devices used in the blasts by getting information from the internet, Bhatt said.

He could be involved in other blasts in the country too, the official added.

&quot;We have learnt that after the blasts in Ahmedabad, he fled to Nepal where he lived for six years and taught English. He also went to Saudi Arabia. We will try to find out what he did in Saudi Arabia and who helped him in Nepal,&quot; Bhatt said.

&quot;We are coordinating with the Delhi Police&#39;s Special Cell. They are forming an interrogation squad so that we know more about his Nepal stay,&quot; he said.

Qureshi was arrested from Ghazipur in east Delhi in January this year.

Delhi police alleged that Qureshi was indoctrinating unemployed youth to fill the void left by the fall of top IM operatives, and planned to revive IM&#39;s terror network in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.

He was wanted by the National Investigation Agency in the December 2007 Wagamon SIMI arms training camp case, and by Maharashtra Police in July 2011 Mumbai blasts case.
