Telangana high court refuses to quash case against Telangana ex-MLA in BMW crash cover-up
Hyderabad: Justice K Lakshman of the Telangana high court on Tuesday refused to quash the criminal case filed against former Bodhan MLA Shakil Aamir Mohammed, his son Raheel Aamir, and several associates in connection with the Dec 2023 Begumpet barricade incident. The judge directed all accused, including the former legislator, to appear before the trial court whenever summoned. The case stems from an incident on Dec 24, 2023, when a speeding BMW rammed the barricades near the chief minister's camp office in Begumpet, causing damage. Initially, the Panjagutta police registered a case naming Abdul Asif as the driver. However, the investigation later revealed that the actual driver was Raheel, son of the former MLA. According to police, upon learning of the accident, Shakil allegedly pressured the Bodhan station house officer to coordinate with the Panjagutta SHO and falsely name Asif as the accused. The two SHOs involved were subsequently suspended and added as accused in the case. Prosecution against them is pending sanction from the state govt.

Raheel, after securing bail from the trial court, allegedly left the country and has since ignored police notices. His absence has stalled the investigation, preventing the filing of a chargesheet. Police officials who responded at the scene on Dec 24 reportedly identified the driver and even conducted a medical test to determine if he was under the influence. A test identification parade is now pending, but it cannot proceed without Raheel's presence. Shalini Saxena, assisting the public prosecutor, informed the court that the investigation is at a standstill due to Raheel's non-cooperation. Justice Lakshman also dismissed a separate plea filed by M Hanuman Nani, another accused, who is alleged to have helped an SHO evade legal proceedings. The court reiterated that all accused must appear before the trial court and face trial as per procedure.

Six death-row convicts await HC verdict for over 3 yrs
6 death-row convicts await J'khand high court verdict for over 3 years. HC reserved verdicts in early 2022, yet to pronounce. NEW DELHI: In an unprecedented judicial inaction causing anxiety and uncertainty to those under the shadow of death sentence, the Jharkhand high court had reserved verdicts more than three years ago on appeals filed by six death-row convicts challenging their convictions and capital sentences and is yet to pronounce verdicts. Arguing their appeals filed in the supreme court through its legal services committee against non-pronouncement of judgments for years, advocate Fauzia Shakil told a bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi that it is a serious infraction of the right to speedy justice. Justice Kant asked whether these judgments were reserved by the same Judge who was called out by the apex court on an earlier occasion for similar inaction in delivering judgments. Shakil answered in the affirmative and said though these are 10 judgments which are reserved for a long time, the status report submitted by the HC on delayed pronouncement of verdicts to the SC did not reflect eight of them. Interestingly, in all these 10 appeals – six of whom have been awarded death sentence and rest life terms in murder cases – justice Rongon Mukhopadhyay is the presiding judge of the benches which heard and reserved verdicts in nine cases between Jan 2022 and Aug 2022 and in one in Aug 2023. The death-row convicts are Nitesh Sahu (judgment on appeal reserved on Aug 28, 2022), Sanatan Baski (Feb 3, 2022), Sukhlal Murmu (Feb 3, 2022), Gandhi Oraon (Jan 10, 2022), Rohit Rai (Jan 25, 2022) and Bandhan Oran (Jan 13, 2022). Earlier a similar inaction by the HC in pronouncing judgments in four cases of lifers was brought to the notice of the SC through Shakil and a bench led by Justice Kant had sought a status report from the HC about such cases being kept in limbo. Within a week of the SC entertaining the four cases, the HC had pronounced the verdicts which were reserved for years. Three were acquitted and in one there was a split verdict entitling the accused bail. Shakil informed the apex court that among the present 10 petitioners have been convicted and sentenced to death or life imprisonment. 'It is pertinent to note that each one of them has served an actual custody period ranging between over 6 years to over 16 years,' she said. The petitioners pointed out that non-pronouncement of judgments by the HC for more than three years breached the Jharkhand HC Rules, 2001, which provided that 'Reserved judgments should ordinarily be pronounced within six weeks of the conclusion of the arguments. In the event of the judgments not being pronounced within three months of the conclusion of the arguments, the chief justice may either post the case for delivering judgment in open Court or withdraw the case and post it for disposal before an appropriate Bench.

Two more identified in hospital video scandal
Two more individuals allegedly involved in making inappropriate videos of female patients at Kahuta THQ Hospital have been identified and are currently under investigation by the District Health Authority's inquiry committee. The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) had previously arrested Shakil, a radiology machinist, and Zainul Abideen, a ward servant at Tehsil Headquarters Hospital (THQ) Kahuta, for harassing female patients and recording illicit videos. Shakil is also accused of blackmailing women using the footage. The arrests, made on July 9, 2025, followed a complaint that led to the filing of an FIR under the PECA Act of 2016, marking a significant breach of medical ethics and public trust. Kahuta Health Authority CEO Dr Asif Arbab Khan Niazi, in a statement to the APP on Thursday, revealed that the issue dates back to 2022, when Shakil was warned and monitored by male and female officials under Dr Zaheer's supervision. Despite an earlier inquiry and punishment, Shakil did not reform his behaviour. "Recently, a complaint with the videos was submitted to the FIA, leading to the arrest of Shakil and another individual. We've suspended them, launched a new inquiry, and also suspended two other staff members who knew about the videos but failed to report them. The department has ordered strict punishment to prevent such incidents in the future," the CEO stated. "We have expanded the inquiry, and two more employees are being investigated for not informing the hospital management despite being aware of the illicit activities," he added. "The health authority will not tolerate any malicious acts by hospital staff." The initial inquiry into the allegations confirmed that Shakil acted inappropriately with a female patient in the X-ray room, while Zain recorded the incident. A three-member inquiry committee has been formed by the DHA.

Former KT photojournalist Mohammad Shakil Qaiser passes away at 73 after battle with leukemia
Mohammad Shakil Qaiser, former senior staff photographer at Khaleej Times, passed away on the morning of April 29 in Lahore at the age of 73. A dedicated photojournalist, a loving family man, and a cherished colleague, Shakil left behind not just striking images, but deep bonds that spanned decades. He joined Khaleej Times in October 1981, just two months before Haji Raja Khan Muhammad, former editorial services executive, joined the paper. 'He was always humble and very cooperative,' remembered Haji Raja Khan. 'Shakeel was the best photographer I've known. He never shied away from assignments, even those that others were hesitant to take. He always gave his best.' Their friendship went far beyond the newsroom. 'My office was opposite the darkroom, so he'd always stop by to greet me first before stepping in,' he said. 'During Ramadan, he would invite his colleagues over for Iftar. On Eid, we would visit each other's homes. We have lost a dear friend, a gentle soul. May Allah grant him the highest place in Jannat Al Firdous.' Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels. Shakil was known for his calm, cheerful nature, even as he quietly fought battles that most never knew about. When Suresh Pattali, the current executive editor, joined the newspaper in 1989, Shakil was already there and dealing with leukemia. 'He had to go to Abu Dhabi every month for blood transfusions,' said Suresh. 'But he never once showed he was sick. He always had a joke, always smiling. He was jolly, the kind of colleague you looked forward to seeing.' The two produced some of the best front pages of Khaleej Times together. 'He would wait for me to come for the night shift so he could get a good spot on Page 1. We worked on so many memorable stories, some that only KT published. And even after I moved to Singapore, he would call from Dubai to share story ideas. We always kept in touch.' Suresh shared one memory that had stayed with him. 'He once told me about an Indian man who helped pay for his surgery in the UK. He never forgot people who were kind to him. That was Shakeel, full of gratitude and full of heart.' Similarly, Imtiaz Ahmed, senior editor at Khaleej Times, said that Shakeel Qaiser would always be remembered as a humble person who was always ready to help. 'He was known for his dedication and hard work while working at here. If you need any photograph at any time, he would never say 'no'. An able photographer, his professional integrity was unparalleled,' said Ahmed. Wile remembering the special touch he added to KT, Neville Parker, former sports editor and deputy editor, said "very few photojournalists have it in them to pursue their 'hobby' to a degree that's picture-perfect". "Shakil Qaiser epitomised that quality — his 'clicks' for KT for more than two decades embellished the newspaper's editorial credibility. The era of black-and-white photography produced some classic shots in which Shakil competed with the best of that time. And later when digital cameras came into existence he continued to stay at the top of his profession." Parker hailed Shakil's dedication to the field and the newspaper. "He never missed an assignment in all those years and, in fact, 'scooped' pictures that reporters would put words to." "On many occasions he would turn up at the news desk with his 'exclusive artistry' and ask us to script appropriate captions. RIP Shakil, you commanded much respect from the editorial team and earned frequent applause from KT readers," added the former editor. Shakil's son, Shiraz Shakil, said his father's spirit never faded, not even in his final years. 'He had dementia, but his long-term memory was very sharp,' Shiraz said. 'He didn't remember short-term things, but in his mind, he was still young, still snapping pictures. His body didn't understand, but his heart never let go.' Nineteen years ago, when doctors said Shakil had only five to six years to live after a failed treatment for leukemia, the family prepared for the worst. But his daughter Sobia launched a fundraiser in the UAE, and the community came through. A well-known Indian businessman covered much of the cost, his brother donated bone marrow, and the surgery was a success. 'He got 19 more years after that,' Shiraz said. 'We are grateful for every one of them.' In his final two years, Shakil suffered from Alzheimer's, complete heart block, and severe lung issues. 'He couldn't breathe or swallow near the end,' said Shiraz. 'But he was surrounded by love. He had all his photos, awards, letters, everything displayed in his room like a mini museum. That was his pride.' Shakeel was one of the standout photographers during the golden era of UAE photojournalism. He regularly won the prestigious Minolta-Cosmos awards in the 1990s, until they eventually barred three-time winners. In 1999, he received the Dubai Duty Free Award for Best Sports Photograph at the Dubai Tennis Open. He is survived by his wife, daughter, son, son-in-law, and three beloved granddaughters, whom he never forgot, even as his memory began to fade. Shakil Qaiser will be remembered not just for the images he captured, but for the warmth he radiated and the friendships he nurtured. His legacy lives on in the archives of Khaleej Times and in the pages of history he helped shape.
