Delhi Court discharges man wrongfully accused in 2003 Australia murder case after forensic report confirms mistaken identity
New Delhi [India], June 14 (ANI): A Delhi court has discharged an Indian man wrongfully accused in connection with a murder in Australia's Redfern in 2003 after forensic tests confirmed it was a case of mistaken identity. Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Pranav Joshi on June 13 exonerated Mohammed Basheeruddin, who had been arrested last month, after a report from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) revealed that his fingerprints did not match those found at the crime scene in Australia. 'The fingerprints of the arrested individual do not match those of the original fugitive criminal,' the judge noted in court. 'In view of this, Mohammed Basheeruddin is discharged from the present proceedings.' The murder occurred on the night of June 29, 2003. The body of Shoukat Mohammed was found stuffed inside a sleeping bag placed in a wheelie bin on James Street, Redfern. The victim had been drugged, assaulted, and ultimately strangled to death, triggering a long-running homicide investigation in Australia. According to New South Wales authorities, the case remains open. The NSW Government has announced a reward of AUD 100,000 for any information leading to the arrest of the fugitive criminal responsible for the killing. During the court proceedings in Delhi, Basheeruddin's lawyer, Farhat Jahan Rehmani, argued that her client had been falsely implicated due to a name mismatch. The actual name mentioned in foreign records was 'Bashiruddin Mohd,' she said -- not her client's full name, Mohammed Basheeruddin. She also pointed out that he obtained his Indian passport only in 2016, and since then, he had never traveled abroad except to Saudi Arabia. (ANI)

Criminal justice system enters new era: Shah
Kolkata: Union Home Minister Amit Shah emphasized that India's criminal justice system is undergoing a transformative shift towards a more secure, transparent, and evidence-based model. His remarks came during a two-day visit to West Bengal, where he inaugurated the new building of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) in Rajarhat, Kolkata. While addressing the gathering, Shah stated, 'The Indian government is creating a secure, transparent and evidence-based criminal justice system. It is necessary that those who stop crime should be two steps ahead of the criminals. Our criminal justice system is entering a new era.' He highlighted the essential role of forensic science in modern law enforcement and the need to continuously advance in this area to combat evolving criminal activities. Shah underscored the foresight of the central government in establishing the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) in 2020, even before the introduction of three significant criminal laws – Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA).
