Has the country become banana republic, asks CPI MP on arrest of Kerala nuns
According to media reports, the Kerala-based nuns were arrested at a railway station in Chhattisgarh recently on charges of human trafficking and forced conversion raised by right-wing activists.
"This is a strange, shocking case. The charges are under (section) 143 of the BNS, which is human trafficking. If more than one victim is involved, it is an offence punishable with more than 10 years of imprisonment," Kumar told PTI Videos.
"What is this human trafficking from Durg station to Agra station? Has this country become a banana republic?" he asked.
"Under the BJP's raj, all minorities are being targeted. Christian nuns and fathers are afraid of wearing their dresses," he said.

Trinamool highlights unnatural death migrant worker in Pune, blames it on targeting of Bengali speakers
Raising its pitch against the targeting of migrant workers from West Bengal in other States, the Trinamool Congress on Friday highlighted the unnatural death of a 28-year-old worker from State's Jalpaiguri district at Pune in Maharashtra. 'This is no longer about detention, harassment, or deportation. This is targeted elimination. Bengalis are being hunted, assaulted, and murdered with impunity in @BJP4India -ruled states. @India_NHRCwon't bat an eye because this state-sponsored violence is orchestrated and enabled by BJP,' the Trinamool Congress posted on social media. The deceased worker was identified as Dipu Das (28), a resident of Binnaguri panchayat area of Rajganj of West Bengal's Jalpaiguri district. The family members of the migrant worker claimed that he was murdered. The West Bengal's ruling party on social media said that a blood-soaked photo of the migrant worker's body was sent to his family members by a contractor from Pune. 'His body bore multiple injury marks, including a deep wound on his neck clearly inflicted by a sharp weapon,' the Trinamool Congress said. Several leaders and spokespersons of the party including Kunal Ghosh took to social media and demanded investigation in the manner. 'In light of a series of such alarming incidents in -ruled states,@BJP4India this cannot be dismissed as an isolated case. We demand a prompt, transparent, and independent investigation into the matter. The culture of targeted hate and impunity must end,' Mr. Ghosh said. Another Trinamool Congress spokesperson Debangshu Bhattacharya warned that the 'BJP will face consequences far graver than they can imagine' if this 'brutal campaign against Bengalis continues'. A few days ago, Abu Bakkar Mandal, a migrant worker of Baduria, North 24 Parganas, was murdered under Bhasi police station area of Maharashtra. The Trinamool Congress government had claimed that the migrant worker was targeted for being a Bengali. However, later the investigations revealed the youth was murder due a strained relationship with a woman in Maharashtra. The family members of the deceased migrant worker from Jalpaiguri, particularly his brother Apu Das said that his brother used to work for a contractor, who told the family that he met with an accident and later was informed that his brother had died. The family members said that they became suspicious after seeing the blood-stained photographs of his brother sent from Pune. The development comes at a time when hundreds of migrant workers from West Bengal have alleged harassment and torture at the hands of police on suspicion of being Bangladeshi nationals in different States including Maharashtra. The Trinamool Congress has launched a 'language movement' to protest the targeting of migrants.

‘Political speeches are often exaggerated': Telangana HC quashes criminal defamation against CM Revanth Reddy
The Telangana High Court Friday quashed a criminal defamation case against Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. The case stems from remarks made by the CM against the BJP during the Lok Sabha election campaign at Kothagudem in May 2024. On Friday, the Bench of Justice Lakshman allowed the petition filed by Reddy to quash the proceedings against him in the case pending trial before a Special Judicial First Class Magistrate (JFCM) for Excise cases (designated MP-MLA court) in Hyderabad. He was booked under Section 499 (defamation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Section 125 (promoting enmity between classes in connection with an election) of the Representation of the People Act. The complainant, Telangana BJP unit represented by its General Secretary Kasam Venkateshwarlu, contended that the statements, such as 'the BJP, if voted to power, would change the Constitution and abolish reservations to SC/ST and BC communities', were part of a 'fake and dubious political narrative' to confuse voters and promote enmity between communities. The BJP alleged that the speech lowered the party's reputation and caused damage during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The Special JFCM for excise cases in August 2024 had issued a summons to Revanth Reddy, asking him to appear personally before it. Subsequently, the chief minister approached the high court challenging the complaint and seeking to stay the proceedings initiated against him. The high court had earlier granted him an exemption from personal appearance before the trial court. The petitioner's counsel, T Niranjan Reddy, informed the court that political speeches should not be the subject of defamation, 'as elections inherently involve parties seeking to lower each other's reputation.' He said the 'alleged speech is a routine activity of a political leader to criticise the opposition and is not defamation,' and that such speeches are protected under Articles 19 and 21 of the Constitution. The petitioner, among other allegations, argued that the complaint was filed with a political vendetta to harass the petitioner and constitutes an abuse of the legal process. On his part, the counsel for the respondent, Devineni Vijay Kumar, argued that the statements created mistrust and fear among voters, bringing disrepute to the BJP. After hearing both sides, the court rejected the contention of the petitioner that political parties do not enjoy reputation and cannot maintain a complaint for criminal defamation. The court also found neither the complainant (BJP Telangana) nor its representative, Kasam Venkateshwarlu, was authorised by the national unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party to file the complaint. Refraining from discussing the contents of the alleged speech and the issue of its defamatory nature, the court noted, 'Political speeches are often exaggerated. To allege that such speeches are defamatory is another exaggeration.' 'It is trite law that, power of quashing should be exercised very sparingly and circumspection and that too in the rarest of rare cases. However, where the initiation of criminal proceedings suffers from material defects or where such criminal proceedings constitute abuse of process, the inherent powers can be exercised to quash criminal proceedings,' the court stated in the order.

Eight of gang that kept Gandhinagar doctor under ‘digital arrest' for 103 days, cheated her of Rs 19.24 crore, held: Police
A few weeks after they placed a Gandhinagar-based doctor under 'digital arrest' for 103 days, threatening her into handing over Rs 19.24 crore to them, eight members of a gang of alleged conmen have been arrested, the State Cyber Crime Cell of the CID said on Friday. The accused have been identified as Yashpalsinh Bharatsinh Chauhan (24), Naaz Ibrahim Razsumra (23), Nilesh Jaman Raank (32), Jaydev Bankesh Nirmal (20), Ameer Hussain Anwar Manek (21), Shabbir Hanif Samvat (23), Rashid Ramzan Pathan (21), and Ismail Bachu Khumbiya (29). They were arrested from Rajkot, Amreli and Jamnagar with the help of local police and brought over to Gandhinagar, police said. On how they cracked the case, a statement from the State Cyber Crime Cell said they followed the money trail to bank accounts into which the victims had been made to deposit the money. They had received alerts that more than Rs 50 lakh had been withdrawn from eight of the accounts through self-cheques, police said. Based on this banking information, three teams were formed by Detective Inspector ND Ingrodiya. These teams sought help from local police, tracked down the accused persons in the three cities, and placed them under arrest, said police. Police are yet to recover the money that the cybercriminals cheated out of the victim since they have spread it over a vast network through angadia (informal courier) firms, Superintendent of Police (SP) Dharmendra Sharma said. The search for other unknown accused persons is also underway. Case background On July 28, the State Cyber Crime Cell said it was investigating a case where at least five accused persons, identifying themselves as a telecommunications official, police sub inspector, two public prosecutors, and a notary officer, had contacted the complainant through different mobile numbers and accused her of money laundering. They cheated her of Rs 19.24 crore in the guise of verification of her properties, police had said. The accused told the woman that a case of money laundering had been registered against her. The accused then sent a fake letter in which the complainant had been named as accused in a purported case of violations of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) as well as under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). They warned the victim against talking to anyone about the matter, said police. According to a statement from the State Cyber Crime Cell, 'The accused persons then kept their hapless victim under digital arrest for 103 days, from March 15 to June 26, through WhatsApp video calls. (She) was told that a man in civilian dress was keeping an eye on her and if she wanted to get out of the case, she would have to provide information about all her properties.' It further said, 'After the complainant provided the information about the properties, the accused persons made her withdraw her Fixed Deposit (FD), sell the gold in her house and take a loan against the gold in her bank locker. They made her sell her house and shares in her stock market portfolio, and got her to transfer a total amount of over Rs 19 crore to different bank accounts on a fake receipt of 'Financial Supervisionary Freezing Certificate' on the false promise that the money would be returned to her after investigation.' Investigation in the case is underway.
