6 ‘associates' of Bishnoi acquitted in attempt to murder case
The Chandigarh District Court has acquitted six persons, reportedly associates of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, due to lack of evidence in an attempt to murder case. Those acquitted are Monty Shah of Burail, Parvinder Wadhwa, Deepak Wadhwa, and Virendra Soni from Hanumangarh (Rajasthan), and Vinay Kalyan and Mohit Kumar from Kalka (Haryana). A seventh accused, Kuldeep Singh Ghosal, passed away during the trial, and thus proceedings against him were stopped. All of them were booked five years ago under IPC Sections 307 (attempt to murder), 120B (criminal conspiracy), and various sections of the Arms Act by the Sector-34 police station. The case was filed based on a complaint by Tirath Singh, who had alleged that the accused had tried to kill him and the brother of slain cable operator Sonu Shah, Parveen. However, during the trial, the complainant turned hostile and refused to identify the accused in court. Advocate Palwinder Singh Lucky, who represented Vinay, Parvinder, and Deepak, argued that the police had falsely implicated his clients and that they were not even present at the crime scene. He accused the police of fabricating a story to frame them. As per allegations, Tirath Singh, a resident of Burail and business associate of Sonu Shah and his brother Praveen, was targeted shortly after Sonu's murder on September 28, 2020. Tirath had alleged that Monty Shah, holding a pistol, tried to kill him and Praveen, owing to personal enmity. He recounted that around 11.30 pm, while he was on a call outside his office, Monty approached him with a pistol. Tirath managed to escape into his office as shots were fired. Monty and his accomplices then fled in a car. Based on Tirath's statement, the police had arrested Monty and the other accused. But with the complainant retracting his testimony in court, all accused have now been acquitted.

Mumbai: CBI arrests Customs superintendent while accepting Rs 10 lakh bribe
A Customs Department superintendent was arrested on Saturday by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs 10,20,000 from a Customs House Agent (CHA) firm for facilitating clearance of consignments, the agency said on Sunday. The accused, Krishan Kumar, was posted as the Superintendent of Customs, at the Air Cargo Complex, Sahar, Mumbai. On Saturday the CBI laid a trap and caught him red-handed while accepting Rs 10,20,000 as a bribe. He was produced before court and remanded to CBI's custody up to August 6. CBI sources said that the accused official has demanded a bribe from executives of the CHA firm, in lieu of clearing the consignment through customs channels. The complainant firm refused to give any bribe to the accused customs officer; despite this the accused officer continued demanding bribe money from the complainant firm. 'As per the complaint, the accused persisted with the demand and issued threats. It was alleged that non-payment of the bribe would lead to deliberate withholding of consignments,' CBI stated. Frustrated over this, the complainant firm approached the CBI and filed a bribery case complaint. The CBI duly verified the allegations between July 25 and August 1 through recorded conversations and other evidence and lodged a corruption case against the accused and other unknown public servants and private persons. It was alleged in the complaint that the accused was demanding bribes at the rate of Rs 10 per kilogram of imported cargo, both for himself and on behalf of his senior officers, to ensure smooth clearance of consignments, the CBI said. During the preliminary probe by CBI, it was found that the accused was found to have demanded Rs 6 lakh (RS 5,80,000 for his senior officers and Rs 20,000 as his share for himself) against previously cleared consignments; ? 10,00,000 for facilitating the release of a currently held consignment; and ? 10 per kg for smooth clearance of future consignments, the central agency stated. The agency is further investigating the case and checking the role of other accused and associates of the arrested officer.
