"Justice Must Prevail": Families Of Mumbai Blasts Victims Demand CBI Probe
Mumbai: Hours after the Bombay High Court acquitted all 12 men convicted in the 2006 Mumbai train blasts case, families of the victims on Monday voiced strong concerns and demanded a fresh investigation, urging the Centre to hand over the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The victims questioned the integrity of the initial investigation and called for accountability, expressing fear that justice may have been denied to the 189 people who lost their lives and over 800 who were injured in the devastating attack. Speaking to IANS, Radhe Shyam Dubey, one of the injured in the blast, said, "There must be a proper re-investigation. The CBI should take over the case. Those responsible should not be allowed to go free. There seems to be serious collusion in this matter. I urge the government to act - this case should go to the Supreme Court. Around seven coordinated blasts happened that day. So many families were destroyed. We deserve answers. Justice delayed cannot mean justice denied." He added, "There have been irregularities from the start. Kirit Somaiya led the charge back then, but now it's unclear what happened. The truth must come out, and justice must prevail." Another family member of one of the victims said, "This is heartbreaking. If they were truly guilty, they should not walk free. We are confused. We don't fully understand what changed in the case. If the High Court found them innocent, we have to respect that, but it still leaves us with unanswered questions." The Bombay High Court's verdict, delivered by a bench comprising Justice Anil Kilor and Justice S.G. Chandak, has overturned the 2015 decision of a special MCOCA court, which had convicted 12 men - sentencing five to death and seven to life imprisonment. With Monday's order, the High Court directed the immediate release of the 12 accused, stating that the prosecution had failed to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. Out of the 13 men originally arrested, one - Dr. Wahid Sheikh - was acquitted by the special court in 2015. The remaining 12 have now been exonerated as well. The 2006 blasts - one of the worst terror attacks in Mumbai's history - occurred during evening rush hour on July 11. In a span of 11 minutes, seven bombs exploded in pressure cookers hidden inside bags across local trains travelling between Churchgate and Borivali, killing 189 people and injuring 824. Forensic investigations had confirmed that the bombs were composed of RDX and ammonium nitrate, raising suspicions of cross-border terrorism. The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) had filed a chargesheet under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), alleging involvement of Pakistan-backed Islamic militants.

Crooks cheat oil firm managing director of Rs 25L on pretext of selling petroleum products
Bengaluru: A group of crooks introduced themselves as associates of an oil company based in Uttar Pradesh and, on the pretext of selling petroleum products, allegedly cheated a city-based lubricant-manufacturing firm of Rs 25.1 lakh. The managing director of the company has lodged a complaint with the CEN Crime police, seeking action against the fraudsters who have gone incommunicado. The accused introduced themselves as Akshaya Mishra, Apoorva Mishra, Sharma, and Akanksha on June 11, through a WhatsApp message from the number 9667274437. They proposed a deal, claiming they had a huge stock of petroleum products. Akshaya claimed he wanted to sell the stock at subsidised rates as their partnership was in the process of being closed for financial reasons.

The senders made him believe their credentials by sharing photocopies of cheques, PAN card, and GST details. After collecting details of the products and finding the prices quoted reasonable, the MD agreed to buy them and a deal was struck for Rs 25.1 lakh. Subsequently, Akshaya came up with a story that he had another buyer ready, and if the complainant didn't proceed with the deal, he would close the offer. He pressured the MD to transfer the money to his account number. Based on such representations and telephonic and WhatsApp communications, the company agreed to remit payments in advance for the purported supply of petroleum products. The crooks assured him they would transport the products soon after receiving the money. The complainant, through his company, transferred the deal amount in 12 different transactions on July 10. However, despite repeated follow-ups via phone, the accused failed to deliver the promised goods and instead became unreachable and evasive in their communication. Their mobile numbers were switched off from July 14, prompting the victim to approach the cops. A senior police officer said a case has been registered under the Information Technology Act and BNS Section 318 (cheating).
