Judicial custody of 11 accused extended till AugUST 1
Vijayawada: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) special court here on Tuesday extended the judicial remand of 11 accused in the Andhra Pradesh liquor scam case up to August 1. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) officials produced the accused before the court upon completion of their previous remand period. The accused include Kessireddy Rajashekar Reddy, former IT adviser to former chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy; K Dhanunjaya Reddy, secretary in the CMO; Krishna Mohan Reddy, officer on special duty (OSD) to then CM; director of Bharati Cements Balaji Govindappa; former MLA Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy; Rajashekar Reddy's personal assistant Dilip Kumar, Chanikya and Sajjala Sridhar Reddy. Nine accused were brought from the district jail in Vijayawada, while the remaining two were brought from Guntur jail. After the court extended their custody, they were sent back to jail. The court extended judicial custody till August 1 so that all 12 accused arrested in the case so far can be produced together on completion of their remand term. YSRCP MP P V Midhun Reddy was arrested in the case on July 19. The court had sent him to judicial custody till August 1. He is currently lodged in Rajahmundry Central Jail. The alleged scam had occurred during YSRCP rule between 2019 and 2024. After TDP-led NDA came to power last year, a case was registered at CID Police Station in Mangalagiri under sections 409, 420, 120 (B), r/w 34 and 37 of IPC and section 7, 7A, 8, 12, 13 (1), (b), 13 (2) of Prevention of Corruption Act 1988. The Crime Investigation Department (CID) initially conducted an investigation following a complaint by an official of the Excise Department. Later, the government constituted SIT, headed by NTR District Commissioner of Police SV Rajashekhar Babu, to probe the case. The SIT found large-scale irregularities and fund misappropriation in the liquor policy implemented during 2019-24. Investigators reportedly uncovered a kickback network involving nearly Rs 3,500 crore siphoned off over five years. There are allegations that the YSRCP leaders encouraged a new liquor policy, floated new brands, and received kickbacks from the distillery companies, causing huge losses to the government.

Bhupesh Baghel's son sent to judicial custody till August 4 in liquor scam
Chaitanya Baghel, son of former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, was sent to judicial custody till August 4 by a special PMLA court in Raipur on Tuesday in connection with the alleged multi-crore liquor scam. He was produced before the court following the completion of his five-day custodial remand with the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Advocate Saurabh Pandey, representing the ED, said, "Chaitanya Baghel's custodial remand was ending today, so he was presented in front of the court today. As of now, he has been sent to judicial custody till August 4. In this money laundering case, if evidence is found against anyone else, they are summoned." Chaitanya's counsel, Advocate Faizal Rizvi, opposed the ED's request for judicial custody, alleging procedural lapses and suppression of facts by the agency. "His 5-day custodial remand ended today. ED has demanded 14-day judicial custody. We have raised an objection to have said that ED has suppressed documents and has presented false things in their have said that ED has made the arrest without letting us (Chaitanya Baghel) speak. This shows that the ED's action is biased and one-sided," Rizvi told reporters outside the court. Chaitanya was brought to the court under tight security. Former CM Bhupesh Baghel and Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring were present during the hearing. The ED sought 14 days of judicial custody, citing Chaitanya's alleged involvement in financial irregularities and the investment of illicit funds. Outside the court, Chhattisgarh BJP chief Kiran Singh Deo defended the ED's action and dismissed allegations of political vendetta. "If his son has been found involved in some scams that have occurred over the past few years, then the investigative agencies will naturally perform their duty. If you want to commit scams and then want no one to raise objections against it, then that's not possible... Instead of politicising this issue, they should reflect on their actions that led to this," Deo said. Deputy Chief Minister Arun Sao also criticised the Congress party's state-wide economic blockade protesting the arrest, calling it a total failure. "Congress party's economic blockade turned out to be a total flop. People of the state, trade organisations, labour organisations and everyone opposed it. Nobody supported the economic blockade," Sao said. Referring to the ED's findings, Sao added, "ED has very clearly said that he invested Rs 16.70 Crores in his real estate company and was involved in a discrepancy of Rs 1000 Crores. Do not try to hide behind Adani when it comes to a corruption case. They did this economic blockade against the son's arrest. He has serious allegations by ED against him." Chaitanya Baghel was arrested by the ED on July 18. The arrest followed a raid in March, during which the agency recovered Rs 30 lakh in cash from the residences of Bhupesh and Chaitanya Baghel. The search operation, spanning 14 locations across Chhattisgarh, was part of an investigation into alleged irregularities in the state's liquor trade, including suspected illegal commissions and money laundering. According to the ED, Chaitanya Baghel is a recipient of "proceeds of crime" in the alleged liquor scam, where around Rs 2,161 crore was siphoned off through various schemes.

Sebi shares Jane Street probe details with SEC
Mumbai: The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has sought details from its counterpart in India about the Jane Street probe over allegations of manipulating the derivatives market. Sebi has replied to the specific queries of the SEC , said people familiar with the development. The SEC and Sebi didn't respond to queries. "A regulator that's a signatory to the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) pact is obliged to share any info requested by any other signatory under articles 6 to 8," said Sandeep Parekh, managing partner of Finsec Law Advisors. Agencies No Legal Action from Co for Now "As both are signatories, the SEC can seek any information required and Sebi would be obliged to give it for regulatory action or investigation," Parekh said. IOSCO is a grouping of national securities regulators. "This has been used multiple times by Sebi, most notably in the UBS matter two decades ago to get information about the Swiss company from the US regulator," Parekh said. The Securities and Exchange Board of India had on July 3 imposed a trading ban on the firm in an interim, ex-parte order and directed it to return Rs 4,844 crore, quantifying this as illegal gains from market manipulation. Jane Street, which has denied any wrongdoing, deposited the entire amount stipulated by Sebi in an escrow account. Following this, Sebi lifted the trading ban on the firm, albeit with conditions, on July 21. Jane Street, which has offices in all the key financial centres of the world, uses complex algorithms developed in-house to execute high-frequency trades. It isn't challenging Sebi's findings in court for the time being. But it has told Sebi that it reserves the right to seek legal and equitable rights and remedies. 21 days to submit response The regulator has informed the trading company's law firm about the dates for hearings into the case, said one of the persons cited above. Jane Street had been given 21 days to respond to the interim findings. Its legal representatives are preparing a formal reply to the regulator, rebutting the allegations, said people with knowledge of the matter. Sebi said the NSE's Bank Nifty Index - comprising the stocks of India's top dozen lenders - had been manipulated in a complex and illegal manner, aided by the Jane Street Group's trading, financial and technological prowess. Jane Street would drive up prices with heavy buying in the morning and send them down through a selling spree later in the day, according to Sebi. It also sought to push index levels down with heavy sell orders close to the option expiry, the regulator said. This caused losses to those at the other end of the trade, mostly retail investors, it said. Sebi invoked the prohibition of unfair trade practices (PFUTP) regulations for market manipulation, which covers any act or practice. It focused on Jane Street's trading data of about 20 random days showing the highest profits.
