Two arrested for printing, circulating fake currency notes in Delhi
The accused, Adnan and Danish, were producing counterfeit notes for the past four to five months. They targeted smaller denominations, particularly Rs 100, to avoid scrutiny.
Acting on a tip-off, the Special Cell arrested Adnan on June 20 while he was delivering Rs 30,000 in fake Rs 100 notes to a decoy customer in Delhi's Dallupura area, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Amit Kaushik said.
'During questioning, Adnan revealed he and Danish printed the notes using a colour printer at Danish's house. A raid at the premises led to the recovery of fake notes worth Rs 14,500 in Rs 100 and Rs 200 denominations, unfinished prints, a colour printer, paper sheets, cutter, and green tape,' the officer added.
Police said Adnan previously worked at a pathological lab and learned counterfeiting techniques from an acquaintance. He later involved Danish, who was unemployed and needed money. 'Both the accused are in custody,' police said.

SEBI allows Jane Street to resume trading in Indian market
Eighteen days after barring Jane Street from India's capital markets over alleged manipulative trading in Nifty futures, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has permitted the New York-based proprietary trading firm to resume operations, according to market sources. However, the US firm will stay away from trading in both the options and cash markets until it resolves several issues with the regulator, according to a Reuters report citing sources. The development follows Jane Street's request to SEBI to lift certain restrictions imposed in its interim order dated July 3. In response, the firm deposited Rs 4,843.57 crore — the amount SEBI alleged it had unlawfully gained — into an escrow account with a lien in favour of the regulator. After reviewing the matter in line with its earlier directions, SEBI allowed the firm to re-enter the market, though legal proceedings are ongoing. Jane Street clarified that the deposit was made without prejudice to its legal rights and remedies, which it intends to pursue. In the July 3 order, SEBI accused Jane Street of manipulating Nifty futures and ordered it to cease all trading in Indian securities markets until the alleged profits were recovered. The interim action had an immediate impact — on July 11, the first weekly expiry after the ban, NSE's equity derivatives turnover dropped nearly 21% compared to the July 3 session. Legal experts say SEBI was within its rights to ease restrictions once Jane Street complied with the monetary directive. 'The July 3 order was interim. Now that Jane Street has deposited the amount, SEBI can consider modifications,' one expert noted. Jane Street, a major player in India's derivatives space, had strongly rejected SEBI's allegations. In internal communications, the firm called the regulator's claims 'extremely inflammatory' and said it was deeply disappointed. The firm denied orchestrating any 'intentional, well-planned and sinister scheme,' and insisted that its trading on January 17, 2024 — a key date in SEBI's probe — was standard arbitrage activity, a common and legitimate strategy. Jane Street also disputed SEBI's use of certain metrics to assess market manipulation and said it did not ignore the National Stock Exchange's (NSE) concerns. On the contrary, it claimed to have voluntarily paused trading to address feedback and later revised its strategies accordingly. 'We believed we had reached a shared understanding with NSE and reflected that in our trading adjustments,' the firm stated in an internal memo. 'Since February, we've made repeated efforts to engage with SEBI but have been consistently turned away.'

11/7 acquittal: HC slams prosecution's failure to establish type of bombs used to hit Mumbai trains
Mumbai: The prosecution failed to even establish the type of bombs used in the crime, the Bombay High Court said on Monday castigating the shoddy probe that resulted in the acquittal of 12 accused in the 2006 Mumbai train blasts. "The prosecution has utterly failed to establish the offence beyond the reasonable doubt against the accused on each count, it is unsafe to reach the satisfaction that the Appellants/Accused have committed the offences for which they have been convicted and sentenced," said a bench of Justices Anil Kilor and Justice S. Chandak. On July 11, 2006, seven bomb serial blasts in packed Mumbai local trains brought the maximum city on its knees within 11 minutes. The terror attack left 189 dead and 800 injured. Out of the 12 people convicted by the trial court, five were handed death sentences and others were given life imprisonment. The High Court's acquittal order is a major blow to the investigation agencies which, according to Justices Kilor and Chandak, failed to even present evidence on the type of bombs used in the serial blasts. "The circuit boards recovered from Mohd. Faisal Shaikh and Mohammad Sajid Margub Ansari are of no help to the prosecution to establish the present offence as the prosecution failed to bring any evidence on record and to establish the type of bombs used in the present crime," the High Court said. Justices Kilor and Chandak said, "Though the prosecution brought on record the technical report of the expert about the circuit board, it failed to establish the type of bombs used in the present crime. Thus, the said recovery is not relevant." On Monday, the 12 accused -- incarcerated for 19 years -- also succeeded to establish in the High Court the fact of torture inflicted on them to extort confessional statements. As a result, the High Court held the statements inadmissible saying, "On all the tests relating to voluntariness and truthfulness of the confessional statements, the prosecution failed." The prosecution case against the accused was weakened further when it failed to share with the defence the Call Detail Record -- which were relied upon heavily to file charges. In 2015, a special court had convicted 12 accused in the case -- sentenced five of them to death and seven others to life imprisonment. Faisal Shaikh, Asif Khan, Kamal Ansari, Ehtesham Siddiqui, and Naveed Khan were sentenced to death. They had challenged this sentence in the High Court. The prosecution had argued that the attack was planned by Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI, and carried out by operatives of Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Toiba with help from the Students' Islamic Movement of India, a banned Indian group.
