Bengal school job case: Prime accused Sujay Krishna Bhadra hospitalised

Published

on

Kolkata, Dec 30: The process for framing of charges in the cash-for-school-job case at a special court of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in Kolkata on Monday received a setback, as a prime accused in the case had to be hospitalised in the morning after he fell unconscious at the correctional home which he is housed now.

It is learnt that Sujay Krishna Bhadra, the said accused, complained of uneasiness in the morning and after that he became unconscious. Thereafter, he was shifted from Presidency Central Correctional Home in South Kolkata to state-run S.S.K.M. Medical College & Hospital also in South Kolkata.

Earlier this month a single judge bench of the Calcutta High Court granted bail to Bhadra in the case registered by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the case.

However, that bail could not ensure that he was freed from behind bars since after the bail was granted to him in the ED-registered case he was shown as arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is conducting a parallel probe in the school job case.

The CBI after showing him as arrested took him to custody for three days for the purpose of interrogation. However, on December 21, the CBI refrained from seeking an extension of his custody as the special court.

The CBI counsel informed the court that since being taken into custody Bhadra had been refusing to consume food and even medicines prescribed for him. As a result of that he developed certain medical complications, the central agency counsel informed the court.

In the last and fifth charge sheet filed by ED in the matter at the special court, it was mentioned that their officials have confiscated an amount worth Rs 7.47 crore from a private corporate entity linked to Bhadra and are in the process of confiscating another Rs 2.70 crore of the same corporate entity.

The ED arrested Sujay Krishna Bhadra alias ‘Kalighater Kaku (Uncle from Kalighat)‘ in May 2023 and then the CBI took his custody in December 2023.

Kunal Kamra row: 3 more FIRs filed over Shinde jibe, merged with Mumbai case

Published

on

Mumbai, March 29: In fresh trouble for controversial comedian Kunal Kamra, three additional FIRs filed against him in different cities have been merged with the one registered in Mumbai’s Khar police station over his alleged jibe at Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

The stand-up comedian courted controversy for cracking an allegedly objectionable joke during a show last month, using the term ‘gaddar’ (traitor) to make a veiled reference to Shinde.

The three zero FIRs that have been merged with the main case registered in Khar were filed in Thane, Nashik and Buldhana by Shiv Sena workers.

The three FIRs were filed by Sunil Jadhav from Nandgaon Manmad, Nashik; Sanjay Bhujbal from Jalgaon Jamod, Buldhana and Mayur Borse from Manmad, Nashik.

The complainants in the three FIRs said that the comedian allegedly created hatred between political parties by making ‘objectionable’ remarks against Shinde. They also alleged that Kamra’s remarks defamed Shinde’s ‘conduct’.

The three FIRs were registered under penal provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita dealing with defamation and public mischief.

Kamra, who has been granted protection against arrest till April 7 by the Madras High Court, has been summoned by Khar police for recording his statement on Monday – this will be the third police attempt to call him as he has not responded to two earlier requests.

Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone 9 (Mumbai), Dixit Gedam said two offences have been registered at Khar police station.

One is against Kamra for derogatory comments, while the other is against people who vandalised the Unicontinental hotel in Khar where the shoot of his stand-up comedy act titled ‘Naya Bharat’ took place.

Kamra landed in trouble after giving a comic spin-off to a popular Hindi song in which he indirectly described Shinde as a ‘traitor’, referring to the 2022 Maharashtra political crisis which eventually led to the collapse of the Uddhav Thackeray-led state government.

The controversy snowballed after Kamra uploaded a clip from the show on social media last Saturday. Angry Shiv Saniks vandalised the hotel, resulting in the arrest and the subsequent granting of bail to 12 Shinde supporters.
