Two office bearers of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) were sentenced on Tuesday to 14 days’ judicial custody in connection with the stampede that occurred during a party rally. The tragic incident, which took place on September 27, resulted in the death of 41 people and left nearly 60 injured, according to police reports.

The accused are TVK’s Karur West District Secretary, V P Mathiyalagan, and Karur Central District Secretary, Kasi Pounraj. Both were named in the First Information Report (FIR) and have been remanded to judicial custody.

Additionally, TVK state general secretary Bussy Anand and deputy general secretary Nirmal Kumar have also been named in the FIR, but they are yet to be arrested, police confirmed.

The accused have been booked under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including:

– Section 105: Culpable homicide not amounting to murder
– Section 110: Attempt to commit culpable homicide
– Section 125: Endangering life of others
– Section 223: Disobedience to order

In response to the incident, the Tamil Nadu government has constituted a one-member commission, headed by retired judge Aruna Jagadeesan, to probe the alleged stampede during the TVK chief’s rally in Karur on September 27.

Leave a comment

At the outset, Senior Advocate Tanveer Ahmed Mir requested the court to hear arguments on camera. Consequently, the hearing was conducted in camera (closed session). The court has listed the bail plea for hearing on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) extended the judicial custody of Samir Modi until October 6. He was produced before the court after the expiry of one day’s judicial custody.

Delhi Police filed a reply on Saturday opposing the bail plea of businessman Samir Modi.

Senior Advocates Ramesh Gupta, along with Advocates Punit Mittal, Shailendra Singh, Ishaan Jain, and Surya Pratap Singh, appeared for Samir Modi. On the other hand, Senior Advocate Tanveer Ahmed Mir, along with Shubham Mahajan and Ravish Thakur, represented the complainant.

During the hearing on Saturday, Senior Advocate Ramesh Gupta contended that a Look-Out Circular (LOC) can be issued within five days of an FIR being registered. He submitted that the FIR in this case was registered on September 10, and the LOC was issued within four days.

It was further submitted that Samir Modi traveled to London on a return ticket, returned from London, and was detained at the airport before being handed over to the police on September 18.

The counsel requested the court to inquire with the police about how an LOC could be issued within four days. Additionally, he urged the court to direct the police to investigate the complaint filed by the accused, alleging extortion by the complainant.

Additional Sessions Judge Vipin Kharb expressed his interest in understanding how the LOC was issued within four days.

On September 19, the Saket Court granted a two-day further remand of Samir Modi to the Delhi Police. He was subsequently sent to judicial custody on Sunday. The court also asked the police to look into the complaint filed by Samir Modi.

The court conducted the hearing on Friday in camera, requesting the media and others to leave the courtroom. Senior Advocate Ramesh Gupta noted that bail plea hearings are typically not conducted in camera. Nevertheless, the court insisted on the closed-door session.

Baseless: Poll body junks Rahul Gandhi’s vote chori charge against Gyanesh Kumar

Leave a comment

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has dismissed the allegations of voter deletions made by Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, during his recent press conference. The Commission called these claims “incorrect and baseless,” emphasizing that no votes can be deleted online by the public.

However, the poll body did acknowledge that certain unsuccessful attempts were made to delete electors in Karnataka’s Aland Assembly Constituency. In response, the ECI has filed an FIR to investigate the matter further.

Rahul Gandhi began his press conference by stating that someone had attempted to delete 6,018 votes from the Aland seat in Karnataka using software and phone numbers from outside the state. He also displayed the cell phone numbers that were allegedly used in the attempt to manipulate the voter list.

The Election Commission continues to monitor the situation and is taking necessary steps to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
