Eyewitness in 1984 Pul Bangash Gurudwara case denies ‘falsely' implicating Tytler
The 70-year-old woman eyewitness had also claimed before Special Judge Jitendra Singh that she kept mum, fearing for her only son's life and revealed Tytler's name for the first time in 2016 to the CBI after her son passed away. Earlier on Friday, Harpal Kaur Bedi, an eyewitness to the killing of three men by a mob that torched the north Delhi gurdwara during the riots, had deposed that she had seen Tytler instigating the mob and asking them to 'loot and kill the Sikhs'. New Delhi, Jul 12 (PTI) A key witness in the Pul Bangash Gurdwara case related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots on Saturday told a Delhi court that she was not pressured by the CBI or Sikh leaders to 'falsely' implicate Congress leader Jagdish Tytler. During her cross-examination by Tytler's counsel on Saturday, Bedi said, 'It is wrong to suggest that I was pressurised by the CBI or leaders of the Sikh community to name Jagdish Tytler in the case to falsely implicate him. 'It is further wrong to suggest that my entire testimony is a deliberate attempt to frame accused Jagdish Tytler in the case. It is wrong to suggest that my testimony is false and fabricated.' The court has posted the matter for recording the statement of another witness on July 21. The CBI had on May 20, 2023, filed a chargesheet against Tytler in the case. Tytler 'incited, instigated and provoked the mob assembled at Pul Bangash Gurudwara Azad Market' on November 1, 1984, that resulted in the burning down of the Gurdwara and the killing of three Sikhs — Thakur Singh, Badal Singh and Gurcharan Singh — the CBI alleged in its chargesheet. The CBI had also said in its chargesheet that Tytler came out of a white Ambassador car in front of the gurdwara on November 1, 1984, and instigated a mob by shouting 'kill the Sikhs, they have killed our mother'. Anti-Sikh riots had erupted in several parts of the country in the aftermath of the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards on October 31, 1984.

Police in UP's Sitapur launch probe after video shows man confronting SI over bribe
The video shows Deepak Mishra of the Reusa police station area confronting SI Srinivas Pande, alleging that the latter had demanded a Rs 25,000 bribe to settle a dispute arising from an accident involving Mishra's tractor and a pickup vehicle that had occurred in the past. According to police, the incident occurred on Thursday evening in the Tambour police station area. Sitapur (UP), Jul 12 (PTI) Sitapur police have launched an inquiry after a video went viral purportedly showing a man confronting a sub-inspector (SI) over a bribe payment. Mishra told media he has already paid Rs 15,000 of the demanded sum. In the video, Mishra is seen physically stopping Pande's motorcycle, demanding the return of his alleged bribe money. A heated argument ensued, which was eventually diffused by bystanders, leading to Mishra letting go of the bike. Following the video, police initiated an inquiry under Leharpur circle officer. Officials stated that preliminary findings suggest the parties in the original accident had settled the matter with Deepak. In a statement issued on Saturday, Sitapur police asserted that Mishra appeared to be in a 'drunken state' in the video, adding that his allegations of the SI taking money are 'insufficient evidence' to prove the claim. The police are continuing their investigation into the matter. PTI COR CDN AMJ AMJ This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.

ED attaches assets worth over Rs 762 crore in PACL case
The money-laundering probe of 2015 stems from a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) FIR against Pearl Agrotech Corporation Limited (PACL), PGF Limited, its main promoter, late Nirmal Singh Bhangoo, and others for operating 'fraudulent' investment schemes to deceive investors. A provisional order has been issued under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to attach the 68 immovable properties located across Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Maharashtra, and in Australia, the central probe agency said in a statement. New Delhi, Jul 12 (PTI) Assets worth more than Rs 762 crore of PACL (the Pearls Group) and its promoters have been attached under the anti-money laundering law in a case linked to an alleged Rs 48,000 crore Ponzi scheme, in which numerous investors were duped, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) said on Saturday. Through these schemes, PACL and its directors 'defrauded' the investors of about Rs 48,000 crore, the ED said. 'The funds fraudulently collected from lakhs of gullible investors were systematically diverted and layered through multiple transactions to conceal their illicit origin,' the agency added. The attached assets are in the name of Bhangoo, his family members and entities related to PACL, it said. The total value of these properties is Rs 762.47 crore, the ED said. Bhangoo died in August last year. PTI NES RC This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.
