Motoring influencer suspected of faking disappearance, fleeing abroad
MUAR — Motoring influencer Tengku Nizaruddin Tengku Zainudin (picture), 38, who was reported missing after his car allegedly plunged into Sungai Tui, Jalan Bukit Kepong here last Monday, is believed to have staged his own disappearance and fled to a neighbouring country. Muar police chief ACP Raiz Mukhliz Azman Aziz said investigations showed that the suspect's younger brother was also involved by providing false information for personal reasons. He said Tengku Abd Aziz, 30, lodged a report at the Lenga Police Station claiming that his brother, also known as Ija, went missing while heading to Muar to repair his car. 'A search and rescue operation was launched after the case was classified as a missing person. However, further investigation raised doubts about the report, and police believe the disappearance was fabricated. 'Investigations also revealed that the suspect had submerged his wife's Perodua Axia in the river before fleeing to a neighbouring country. His brother later admitted to being complicit and pretending to help with the search,' he said in a statement today. Raiz Mukhliz said statements from both individuals have been recorded and further investigation will proceed once police obtain an order to investigate (OTI) from the deputy public prosecutor. The case is being investigated under Section 182 of the Penal Code for providing false information and Section 109 for abetting a criminal offence. Earlier, media reported that the man, a businessman and vehicle accessories shop owner, had gone missing after the Perodua Axia he was driving was believed to have plunged into the river. — BERNAMA

‘Nava Kerala Sadas' speech: Kerala HC stays proceedings against CM Pinarayi Vijayan
Kochi: High court on Thursday stayed for three months the further proceedings in the case alleging that chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan 's 'life saving' speech at Kannur during the Nava Kerala Sadas tour in 2023 amounted to the offence of abetment under Section 109 of IPC. The bench of Justice V G Arun issued the interim order while considering a petition by the chief minister challenging the Ernakulam chief judicial magistrate (CJM) court's order of July 3. The CJM court had held that the alleged speech prima facie contained elements of abetment, observing that it instigated the use of muscle power to suppress protestors. The court also held that cognizance of the offence could be taken only upon production of a sanction for prosecution from the governor. While considering Vijayan's petition, HC observed that there appears to be prima facie substance in the petitioner's contention that the CJM exceeded his jurisdiction by entertaining the complaint, since the alleged incident occurred outside the court's territorial limits. The bench also noted that the contention that the contents of the alleged speech do not attract the offence under Section 109 IPC is a matter requiring serious consideration. HC posted the matter for Oct 14. The case arises from a complaint filed by Ernakulam DCC president Muhamed Shiyas, alleging that a speech delivered by the CM at Kannur on Nov 20, 2023, during the Nava Kerala Sadas tour, amounted to abetment under Section 109 IPC. In the speech, the CM praised bystanders who prevented protestors from coming in front of the moving Nava Kerala Sadas bus, describing their actions as 'life saving.' The complaint alleged that this statement led to brutal attacks on Youth Congress workers who were protesting against the Sadas, accusing the govt of maladministration. The attacks were allegedly carried out by CPM, DYFI and SFI members. Earlier, acting on the CJM's directive, police had submitted a report finding no material against the CM. However, the CJM rejected the report, observing that the speech prima facie amounted to the instigation of criminal offences. In his petition, Pinarayi contended that the CJM, Ernakulam, lacked territorial jurisdiction to entertain the complaint since the alleged incident took place in Kannur. He also submitted that the complaint is politically motivated.

‘SIT making craters in probe'—HC's earful to Chandigarh Police in Colonel Bath assault case
The court was hearing an urgent petition filed by Colonel Bath in continuation of his long demand for handing over the case to CBI for an impartial investigation. The officer and his son Angad were beaten up outside a famous eatery in Punjab's Patiala on the intervening night of 13 and 14 March this year, allegedly by a group of seven-eight personnel of Punjab Police, including Ronnie Singh Salh, Harjinder Singh Dhillon, Happy Boparai, Rajvir Singh and Surjeet Singh. The high court pulled up the Union Territory Police for no real progress in the investigation, despite having probed the matter for over three months, and its opinion to drop Section 109 (attempt to murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. New Delhi: Calling the probe conducted by the Special Investigation Team of the Chandigarh Police 'tainted', the Punjab and Haryana High Court Wednesday transferred the case of alleged assault of serving Army officer Colonel Pushpinder Singh Bath by Punjab Police personnel to the Central Bureau of Investigation. Initially, Punjab Police had registered an FIR against unknown suspects based on a complaint by the Dhaba owner. However, amid furore over the assault of a serving Army officer, the police booked its officers—also for attempted murder—on 22 March. Although Punjab Police had formed an SIT under the supervision of an officer at Additional Director General of Police level, Bath had moved the high court seeking the transfer of the case to CBI. After expressing deep concern over procedural lapses and delay in registering the FIR, the court had on 3 April ordered the Chandigarh DGP to appoint an IPS officer of Superintendent rank to probe the matter within four months. 'Weighing the facts and circumstances of the present case on the anvil of law settled, this Court finds that there are no prospects of free and fair investigation in the case by the Investigating Agency of UT, Chandigarh,' Justice Rajesh Bhardwaj observed in Wednesday's order. 'In the facts and circumstances of the present case, the Court cannot be a moot spectator to the conduct of the Investigating Agency in conducting the investigation in a tainted manner. Hence, the investigation of the case is withdrawn from UT, Chandigarh with immediate effect. Hereinafter, the investigation of the case is handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation,' the court further said.

He alleged that one of the accused, Ronnie Singh Salh, had not been arrested by the SIT, despite an undertaking by the UT Police to do so in the event of rejection of his anticipatory bail plea in court. The high court had rejected the petition on 23 May. Taking cognisance of the petition and fresh arguments made by Colonel Bath's counsels, Preetinder Singh Ahluwalia and Deepinder Singh Virk, the court had summoned IPS officer Manjeet, SP, who was leading the SIT. Submitting the opinion of a doctor, the IO argued that injuries suffered by Colonel Bath and his son Angad Singh Bath were not dangerous, and therefore, offence under Section 109 of BNS was not maintainable. Subsequently, he submitted, custody of the accused was not mandatory after dropping the attempt-to-murder charge. The court, however, took strong objection to these arguments, saying that the probe did not move at right pace, and the investigating officer decided to drop the attempt-to-murder charge even before the probe had concluded. 'So far progress in the investigation is concerned, except saying that the investigation is in progress, there is no material to convince the Court that the investigation is being carried out in a free and fair manner. Time limit of four months granted by this Court is almost over. Without concluding the investigation, the Investigating Agency has already made up its mind to delete the offence under Section 109 BNS (Section 307 IPC), which substantiate the apprehension of the petitioner that the Investigating Agency is proceeding in a tainted manner to give benefit to the accused,' Justice Bhardwaj remarked in the order Wednesday. The court also reiterated the reason for transferring the case out of Punjab to ensure a free and fair probe, which, it said, was not done by Chandigarh Police either. 'From the overwhelming circumstances of the case, the Court is convinced that the Investigating Agency is not only trying to create loopholes in the investigation, but trying to make craters in the investigation so as to ensure that once the chargesheet is filed before the Court, the case of the prosecution should hardly be able to crawl in the Court,' the order read. CBI's counsel present in the court accepted the notice on the agency's behalf, setting the stage for it to register a case.
