He also allegedly offered to secure government contracts for supplying T-shirts to the Maharashtra Police Academy, further enticing his targets with the prospect of official connections.

Day after rapping Tamil Nadu, Supreme Court says ADGP's suspension is in order
Representative Image NEW DELHI: A day after intensely questioning Tamil Nadu's decision to suspend additional DGP H M Jayaram being probed for his role in an alleged kidnapping of a youth, Supreme Court Thursday found M K Stalin govt's administrative step well couched in All-India Service Rules that governs IPS officers. On behalf of TN, senior advocate Siddharth Dave told a bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan & Manmohan that Jayaram's suspension was not influenced by Madras HC's order to arrest him in the alleged kidnapping case, in which it was alleged that his vehicle was used to whisk away the teen from his home after his brother married a woman of another caste and her parents lodged a complaint. Dave said AIS empowers a state govt to place an IAS or IPS officer under suspension if he is being investigated or facing trial in a criminal case. "We did not want to give the impression that the law will be applied differently to high-ranked officers. Once the probe is complete, and depending on its outcome, a decision will be taken on whether to continue the suspension or revoke it," he said. On nudging of the bench, Dave took instructions from state govt and told the court that TN would have no objection if the probe into the case is transferred from local police to CB-CID. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo The bench also ordered for transfer of investigation to CB-CID. While staying the HC order for action against Jayaram, the bench said though it would not interfere with the suspension order, it was open to the IPS officer to challenge its legality in an appropriate forum. It also requested the Madras HC chief justice to assign hearing of the cases related to the kidnapping incident to a judge other than the one who had passed orders for action against Jayaram. On Monday, HC's Justice P Velmurugan directed police to arrest Jayaram saying "a strong message should go to public that no one is above law". This order was passed during the hearing of an anticipatory bail plea of MLA K V Kuppam, who is also an accused in the case. HC had refused relief to the MLA and ordered him to cooperate with the investigation into the kidnapping case.

'Rakshas Raj in Bihar': Tejashwi Yadav slams NDA government after gunfire outside his Patna residence
PATNA: Two motorcycle-borne criminals opened fire at a youth near the high-security Polo Road, adjacent to the official residence of Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, in the state capital on Thursday. The victim, Rahul Kumar, fortunately escaped unhurt as the bullets missed their target. However, the miscreants managed to snatch Rs 450 from his pocket. Polo Road is a high-security zone that houses the residences of ministers, MLAs and senior bureaucrats. The Raj Bhawan and the chief minister's residence are also a stone's throw away from the site of the incident. The daylight firing has raised serious concerns over the law and order situation in Patna. The incident occurred just hours before young IPS officer Kartikey Sharma took charge as Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Patna. Sharma replaced Avakash Kumar, who was removed from the post allegedly for his failure to control crime in the capital. Prior to this posting, Sharma was the SP of Purnea. Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Prasad Yadav seized the opportunity to launch a scathing attack on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the NDA government. Recalling the incident, Tejashwi said, 'There is complete lawlessness. It's a reign of criminals. There is no sign of governance left, and the Chief Minister has lost all authority.'
