Calcutta HC orders Shami monthly payment of Rs 4 lakh as maintenance to estranged wife, daughter
Jahan had moved the high court against a district sessions court's order directing the cricketer to pay Rs 50,000 to his wife and Rs 80,000 to her daughter in 2023.
"In my considered opinion, a sum of Rs 1,50,000 per month to the petitioner no.1 (wife) and Rs 2,50,000 to her daughter would be just fair and reasonable to ensure financial stability for both the petitioners, till disposal of the main application," the order passed by Justice Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee on Tuesday stated.
"However as regards petitioner's child the husband /opposite party No 2 will always be at liberty to voluntarily assist her with educational and/or other reasonable expenses, over and above the aforesaid amount," the order added.
Jahan had lodged an FIR at the Jadavpur police station against Shami and his family in March 2018, four years after their marriage in April 2014, alleging "enormous physical and mental torture" under Section 12 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violation (PWDV) Act, 2005 and "sustained indifference and neglect" of her minor daughter.
Besides domestic violence, she also accused Shami of dowry harassment and match-fixing while alleging that Shami had stopped shouldering financial responsibility for running her family expenses.

Bihar: NIA charge sheets another accused in the PFI case, funds traced to Dubai
Patna: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has charge sheeted Md Sajjad Alam of East Champaran, Bihar, in connection with the anti-national activities of the banned Popular Front of India (PFI), making him the 18th accused to be arrested and charge sheeted in the case. The NIA filed its supplementary charge sheet before the NIA Special Court, Patna, charging Sajjad under various sections of the IPC and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UA(P)A). Sajjad, an active PFI cadre, was arrested at Delhi's IGI Airport in January this year upon his arrival from Dubai. According to NIA investigations, Sajjad was channelling illegal funds from Dubai to PFI operatives in Bihar through a syndicate operating in Karnataka and Kerala. These funds were allegedly used to further the criminal and unlawful activities of PFI even after the organisation was banned by the Union government. The NIA stated that the broader PFI conspiracy aimed to 'establish' Islamic rule in India by 2047 and involved activities designed to terrorise people and disrupt peace by spreading communal enmity. The case was originally registered on 12 July 2022 at Phulwarisharif Police Station, Patna, against 26 individuals under IPC sections. The NIA took over the probe, invoking the UA(P)A and previously charge sheeting 17 accused. The PFI module was initially busted by the Patna Police and the ATS in 2022 while conducting physical training camps for Muslim youths at Phulwarisharif under the PFI banner. The camps, held at the house of Mohammad Jalaluddin, a retired Jharkhand police sub-inspector, along with Athar Parvez, allegedly aimed at brainwashing youths against India. Athar Parvez's brother, Manzar Alam, was involved in the 2013 Patna Gandhi Maidan serial blast during Narendra Modi's 'Hunkar Rally'. The then Patna SSP, Manavjeet Singh Dhillon, had recommended handing over the case to the NIA, following which the agency began its probe. The NIA has indicated that further investigations in the case are ongoing to uncover deeper financial and operational networks of the banned PFI in Bihar and other states.

After probe report on financial irregularities, all but one clinical trials cancelled at Ahmedabad Hospital
When the investigation into the alleged financial irregularities in clinical trials at an Ahmedabad-based government hospital began, 10 trials were underway at the hospital while seven, for which agreements had been signed, were yet to begin. With the irregularities coming to light, all the clinical trials that were in their initial phases were shut down, while those that were yet to begin were cancelled, said a senior official of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC). As of now, only one clinical trial is underway at the Sheth Vadilal Sarabhai General Hospital, Medical Superintendent Dr Parul Shah confirmed with The Indian Express. Meanwhile, at least four to five doctors accused in the scam have returned the amount deposited in their bank accounts, said Dr Shah. 'We have sent the doctors notices that as per the report, we need to recover the money they received directly for the clinical trials. At least 4-5 doctors have already paid back the amount. The rest are also going to pay us back,' said Dr Shah. When asked if the hospital would conduct more trials in the coming days, an official said, 'We have decided to not do any clinical trials at the moment till all these irregularities are sorted out.' As reported by The Indian Express on July 1, a probe panel in Gujarat found financial irregularities in about 65 human clinical trials conducted at the hospital run by the AMC, where 15 doctors allegedly diverted at least Rs 1.87 crore directly to their personal accounts from 2021 — money that should have gone to the hospital first, according to a senior official. It has now also been learnt that the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) has asked the hospital not to conduct any more trials without proper standard operating procedures and permissions. The clinical trials that the hospital was conducting included those of drugs and formulations from 34 different pharmaceutical companies and clinical research companies (CROs), and were being managed by up to eight Site Management Organisations (SMOs). Of the 65 trials, a total of 48 had been completed, 10 were underway and seven were yet to begin, for which agreements had been signed. However, according to hospital officials, currently, only one trial is still underway. An official from the AMC Medical Education Trust (AMCMET) said, 'We had stopped most of the clinical trials that were in their initial phases before the investigation began. Only one trial is underway and we will complete that trial in the interest of the patients. No patients have had to suffer due to the financial irregularities.' Dr Shah said, 'The DCGI team that conducted its investigation here at the hospital said that the clinical trials themselves were conducted in a proper manner. Whatever discrepancies were there, were in the financial aspects. The trials were not compromised.' The DCGI, when it conducted its three-day investigation in May, asked the hospital to immediately stop the trials, form an ethics committee and get it vetted by the authorities if they wanted to conduct more trials, said sources. A total of 15 doctors were alleged to have siphoned off Rs 1.87 crore, proceeds from 58 clinical trials, into their personal bank accounts. Only Rs 10.63 lakh had been found to have been deposited in the account of the hospital. An inquiry committee found that a retired Medical Superintendent, an Associate Professor and 12 contractual doctors had been involved in the alleged scam
