Supreme Court To Hear TVK Party Plea On Karur Stampede Probe, Seeks Independent Investigation

Leave a comment

New Delhi:

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear on Friday a plea filed by the actor Vijay’s political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), through its General Secretary Aadhav Arjuna. The plea seeks an impartial investigation into the Karur stampede, calling for a probe conducted by a panel led by a retired top-court judge.

The plea, filed through advocates Dixita Gohil, Pranjal Agarwal, and Yash S Vijay, challenges the Madras High Court’s October 3 order that constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the tragic stampede. The SIT is headed by the Inspector General of Police and comprises senior officers from the Tamil Nadu Police.

TVK’s plea contends that despite the High Court’s clear doubts about the independence of the police probe, the Court still directed that the SIT be formed solely with state police officers. The petition states, “The Petitioner-party as well as its leaders are prejudiced by the order which appoints an SIT composed solely of officers of the State Police, especially in the face of the observations of the Hon’ble High Court expressing its dissatisfaction with the independence of State Police and its conduct, and prejudicial factual findings against the Petitioner.”

The plea further argues that the possibility of a pre-planned conspiracy by certain miscreants to create trouble at the rally site cannot be ruled out. Therefore, an independent investigation where all contesting facts can be examined is necessary.

Additionally, the plea raises concerns over certain strong observations made by the High Court against TVK, which it claims have caused severe prejudice to the party and its office-bearers. It argues that the High Court’s observations and directions were made in violation of the principles of natural justice and fair trial, without conducting any factual inquiry, verifying evidence, or providing TVK or its officials a chance to be heard.

Specifically, the plea challenges the High Court’s observation condemning TVK’s leadership for allegedly “fleeing from the scene of occurrence” and failing to provide assistance to the public. According to the plea, these claims are factually incorrect, misleading, and contradictory to the actual record.

“The contemporaneous sequence of events clearly establishes that, upon receiving information that certain individuals had fainted during the event, the Petitioner’s leadership and Party cadre took immediate and coordinated steps to ensure medical aid and relief were provided without delay,” the plea asserts.

On October 3, the Madras High Court ordered the constitution of the SIT headed by the Inspector General of Police to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the stampede that claimed 41 lives and left many injured. The Court also banned political rallies, roadshows, and similar public events along state and national highways in Tamil Nadu until Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are formulated.

The High Court strongly criticised TVK party workers for allegedly failing to rescue the public left stranded during the incident and questioned the State government’s lenient approach towards holding the event organisers accountable.

Bar Council of India suspends advocate who tried to hurl shoe at CJI Gavai

Leave a comment

The Bar Council of India (BCI) on Monday suspended the practice of Advocate Rakesh Kishore, a 71-year-old lawyer who allegedly attempted to hurl a shoe at Chief Justice of India (CJI) BR Gavai during court proceedings. The council has also initiated disciplinary proceedings against him, news agency PTI reported.

In a shocking breach of decorum, Kishore reportedly approached the dais during a hearing and tried to throw a shoe at the CJI, but was promptly stopped by security personnel.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association (SCAORA) has strongly condemned the incident in a unanimous resolution, according to PTI. Headed by Vipin Nair, the association described Kishore’s act as a “disrespectful and intemperate gesture” by an advocate.

In a statement, SCAORA secretary Nikhil Jain urged the Supreme Court to “take suo motu cognizance of the said conduct and initiate appropriate proceedings for contempt of court, as the act/gesture is a calculated move to scandalise the authority of the Hon’ble Supreme Court and lower its dignity in the eyes of the public.”

The association emphasised that freedom of speech carries a duty of restraint, particularly for members of the legal profession, who are officers of the court.

It expressed “deep anguish and disapproval at the recent act of an advocate who, by his unwarranted and intemperate gesture, sought to disrespect the office and authority of the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India and his companion Judges.”

According to SCAORA, such conduct is unbecoming of a member of the Bar and undermines the mutual respect between the “Bench and the Bar.” The body added that this behaviour is antithetical to the dignity of the legal profession and contrary to constitutional values of decorum, discipline, and institutional integrity.

“Any attempt to malign or a personalised act/gesture aimed against a sitting judge of the Hon’ble Supreme Court constitutes a direct assault on the independence of the judiciary and undermines public faith in the justice delivery system,” SCAORA stated.

The association condemned the incident as a “cowardly and disrespectful act” and affirmed its complete solidarity with the CJI and the entire judiciary in upholding the majesty, independence, and impartiality of the Supreme Court.

Relief For Robin Uthappa As Sessions Court Sends 2019 Cheque Bounce Case Back For Fresh Hearing

Leave a comment

In a relief to former cricketer Robin Uthappa, the sessions court has sent the cheque bouncing case against him back to the magistrate court for a fresh hearing due to non-compliance with mandatory legal provisions.

Earlier, the magistrate court had initiated proceedings against the firm where Uthappa served as a director in connection with the cheque bouncing case. However, the sessions court has now set aside the summons issued by the magistrate against Uthappa. The court noted that the magistrate court should have carried out a preliminary investigation under the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code to determine if there were sufficient grounds to summon the accused, especially since Uthappa resides outside the court’s jurisdiction.

Accordingly, the sessions court has directed the magistrate court to hear the case afresh.

### Background of the Case

The complaint was filed against Centaurus Lifestyle Brands Pvt Ltd, where Robin Uthappa was a director. It is claimed that Centaurus Lifestyle had engaged Senior Marketing as their sole distributor for their products in Mumbai, Thane, and Navi Mumbai.

### Cheques Bounced in 2019

The dispute arose when Centaurus Lifestyle engaged two additional distributors in October 2017 without the consent of the complainant firm. Following a meeting, the complainant returned all stocks, and Centaurus agreed to make the payment.

In July 2018, goods were dispatched, and in February 2019, Centaurus issued post-dated cheques amounting to Rs. 22.22 lakh. However, these cheques bounced in March 2019 due to insufficient funds, leading to the current proceedings.

Mumbai: Businessman Files Police Complaint Against Kurla’s Fauziya Hospital For Alleged Negligence Toward Elderly Mother

Leave a comment

**Businessman and Former Maharashtra Minority Commission Chairman Files Complaint Against Kurla’s Fauziya Hospital Over Alleged Negligence**

Haji Arafat Alamgir Shaikh (47), a prominent businessman, former Chairman of the Maharashtra State Minority Commission, and BJP Transport Cell President, has lodged a police complaint against Fauziya Hospital in Kurla. The complaint centers on allegations of gross negligence and mistreatment of his 71-year-old mother, Shama Shaikh, who was admitted for medical treatment at the facility.

**Background of Admission**

Shama Shaikh, who has been living with diabetes for five years and had previously suffered a paralysis attack, was admitted to Fauziya Hospital on September 15 following complaints of vomiting.

**Alleged Fall Due to Safety Lapses**

According to the FIR filed at the VB Road Police Station, on September 16, while Shama was asleep on her hospital bed, she allegedly fell to the floor as the bed lacked safety railings. She sustained injuries to her face, eyes, stomach, legs, and knees. Haji Arafat claimed that although a domestic aide tried to raise an alarm immediately, no nurse or ward attendant attended to her for nearly 20 minutes.

When the hospital staff finally responded, the night doctor reportedly dismissed the incident, remarking, “These small things happen in hospitals. Shift the old woman, we’ll see in the morning.”

**Delayed Medical Attention**

Despite the visible injuries, Shama Shaikh did not receive any medical treatment for over 12 hours. No doctor reportedly examined her until 10 a.m. the following day. By that time, swelling and black marks had appeared on her face and under her eyes, indicative of internal bleeding.

Haji Arafat further alleged that medical procedures were only initiated after his family doctor, Sohail Khan, visited the hospital and insisted on immediate treatment.

**Accusations Against Hospital Staff**

The complaint names hospital director Dr. Anjum Deshmukh, administrator Usman Shaikh, and duty nurses Amisha Mali and Pratima Gupta as responsible for negligence. Additionally, Riyaz Shaikh, a hospital staffer who arrived to conduct an X-ray 24 hours later, is accused of rude behavior toward the elderly patient. According to the complaint, Riyaz Shaikh said in an insulting tone, “Eat later, don’t you understand? I don’t have time for this now.”

**Police Action and Investigation**

Citing neglect, irresponsibility, and inhumane behavior, Haji Arafat filed a formal complaint at VB Road Police Station. Based on his statement, a case has been registered against the hospital’s directors and staff members. The V.B. Marg Police have initiated an investigation into the matter.

Further updates will be provided as the case develops.

‘I Am Deeply Sorry’: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Begs Judge for ‘Another Chance’ and Claims He Will ‘Never Commit a Crime Again’ in Rapper’s Final Plea Before Sentencing

Leave a comment

**Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Makes Final Plea for Mercy Ahead of Sentencing**

*Published October 2, 2025, 6:40 p.m. ET*

Sean “Diddy” Combs is making one last plea to be a free man, begging Judge Arun Subramanian for mercy just hours before his sentence is handed down, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

While the prosecution is pushing for the disgraced rapper to serve 11 years behind bars, Combs faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

### Combs Apologizes for 2016 Attack on Cassie Ventura

In a new letter dated Thursday, October 2, and obtained by RadarOnline.com, the music mogul opens with a heartfelt apology for his past actions.

He writes, “I apologize for my actions, and for all of the hurt and pain that I have caused others by my conduct. I take full responsibility and accountability for my past wrongs.

“This has been the hardest 2 years of my life, and I have no one to blame for my current reality and situation but myself.”

Combs then references his 2016 assault on ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles—a shocking incident captured on camera.

“The scene and images of me assaulting Cassie play over and over in my head daily,” he says. “I literally lost my mind. I was dead wrong for putting my hands on the woman that I loved. I’m sorry for that and always will be. My domestic violence will always be a heavy burden that I will have to forever carry.”

### Life Behind Bars: Combs Reflects on His Time in Jail

The “I’ll Be Missing You” hitmaker then reveals the harsh reality of his incarceration at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, where he claims he “has not breathed fresh air in nearly 13 months.”

“Jail is designed to break you mentally, physically, and spiritually. Over the past year, there have been so many times that I wanted to give up. There have been some days I thought I would be better off dead. The old me died in jail, and a new version of me was reborn. Prison will change you or kill you – I choose to live,” Combs writes.

He adds that he has made positive changes during his time behind bars, stating he is now “sober for the first time in 25 years,” and spends his days “reading books, writing, working out, or in therapy obtaining the tools and knowledge to deal with my past drug abuse and anger issues.”

“One of the most beautiful things I have experienced is being asked by my fellow inmates to teach and mentor them,” he shares.

### The Moments He Missed: A Father’s Heartache

Combs also speaks about his seven children, pleading, “I ask you for mercy today, not only for my sake, but for the sake of my children… As I write you this letter, I am scared to death. Scared to spend another second away from my mother and my children. I no longer care about the money or the fame. There is nothing more important to me than my family.”

He goes on to chronicle the milestones he’s missed while locked up: “I have missed my three daughters’ proms and graduations. I have missed taking one of my daughters to college. I have lost the freedom to teach my two-year-old how to speak, dance, play, or be there to console her when she falls down or has a nightmare.”

### A Plea for a Second Chance

In closing, Combs makes one final appeal to the court.

“I would ask Your Honor to make me an example of what a person can do if afforded a second chance. If you allow me to go home to my family, I promise I will not let you down and I will make you proud,” he states.

“Today, I humbly ask you for another chance – another chance to be a better father, another chance to be a better son, another chance to be a better leader in my community, and another chance to live a better life.

“I am writing this not to gain any sympathy or pity. This experience is simply the truth of my existence and has changed my life forever, and I will never commit a crime again…”

### What’s Next for Combs?

Sean Combs faces up to 20 years in prison after being found guilty of two felony counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. However, he was found not guilty of racketeering and both charges of sex trafficking—the more serious allegations.

The Bad Boy Records founder’s legal team has condemned the prosecution’s recommended 11-year sentence as “indecent, and deeply troubling,” calling it “a draconian sentence.”

As the judge prepares to make a ruling, all eyes are on Combs and whether his final plea will sway the court toward leniency.
