Evidence Deleted: Minister After Alleging Official Favoured Son's Company

Delhi Vigilance Minister Atishi has submitted an additional report to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claiming that the 'digital evidence' related to Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar's son's company and ILBS are being destroyed, sources said on Saturday.

This came a day after the Vigilance Minister raised serious allegations against Delhi Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar, claiming that the latter unfairly benefited his son Karan Chauhan in getting a tender from the Delhi government, among others.

Minister Atishi also submitted a supplementary report to CM Kejriwal, with all the accusations against the chief secretary mentioned in it with various details.

It was alleged by the Delhi Government that Naresh Kumar's son Karan Chauhan's company MetaMix was allegedly tasked with the job of making an AI software "without tender" from the Delhi government's ILBS Hospital. Also, it was alleged that the company made windfall profits worth hundreds of crores from it.

Naresh Kumar, the Chief Secretary of Delhi, is also the Chairman of the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) Hospital.

However, the hospital later refuted the claims of Vigilance Minister Atishi and said that Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar's son Karan Chauhan is not related to the hospital in any way.

The hospital further clarified that Karan Chauhan is not a signatory to the MoU.

Meanwhile, in today's additional report, Atishi also questioned the clarification issued by ILBS on Friday, sources said.

She also said that the 'digital evidence' is being deleted from various social media platforms.

"Within 24 hours of the Metamix-ILBS investigation report, Multiple web posts and links related to Karan Chauhan (Chief Secy Naresh Kumar's son), MetaMix and the partnership between ILBS-MetaMix are being deleted in a bid to destroy evidence and suppress the facts" Atishi said in the additional report.

"The official LinkedIn profile of MetaMix including a post made about 4 months ago announcing the partnership between MetaMix and ILBS to set up an innovation lab at ILBS has been taken down," it claimed.

The report also said, "A post on Twitter/X profile of ILBS Hospital (@ILBS_India) dated September 1, 2023 referred to the ILBS-MetaMix partnership deleted."

"ILBS statement does not deny indisputable facts that have resulted in huge financial and reputational gains to MetaMix," it added.

Moreover, MetaMix Technologies Pvt. Ltd. in a statement said that the company has neither any stakeholder having the name 'Karan Chauhan' nor any Director or employee with such a name.

India Calls On Canada To Respect Vienna Convention On Diplomatic Ties

India on Thursday called on Canada to provide for a conducive environment in line with provisions of the Vienna convention on diplomatic relations so that its officials can discharge their duties without any hindrance or security concerns.

India's fresh call to Ottawa came days after certain pro-Khalistani elements in Vancouver attempted to disturb a camp organised by the Indian consulate in that city.

The ties between India and Canada came under severe strain following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations in September of "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

India strongly rejected the allegations.

"Our High Commission and consulates in Canada regularly organise consular camps. One such camp was organized near Vancouver on November 12 to provide life certificates to pensioners," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said during his weekly media briefing.

"The event was held successfully despite attempts by a few radical elements to cause trouble. Our Consul General was not present at that camp," he said.

"We reiterate the need for nations to respect the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations so that our diplomats can discharge their diplomatic obligations," he added.

Asked about reports of an incident near Brampton during Diwali, Mr Bagchi it was sort of an "unrest' between two groups.

As regards to events that you alluded to near Brampton in Diwali. I think that was more in the nature of unrest between the two groups, he said.

"I don't think there has been any complaint that our consulate has received... I saw some social media reports. We also understand that the authorities there are looking into that incident," he said.

Days after Mr Trudeau's allegations, India temporarily suspended issuance of visas to Canadian citizens and asked Ottawa to downsize its diplomatic presence in the country to ensure parity.

Canada has already withdrawn 41 diplomats and their family members from India. India has resumed some of the visa services.

Earlier in the day, Kejriwal shared a post on X in response to one made late on Tuesday by a user, alleging insanitary conditions in the hospital's toilets.

"Delhi's sick hospital toilets are overflowing, full of filth; this is how the hospitals of Delhi are. The picture is of the largest GTB hospital across Yamuna, where patients, attendants, and staff have to pass by a toilet with a cloth over their mouths. The cleanliness system in the hospital is zero," the user alleged in the post, along with a photograph.

Responding to the post, Kejriwal directed Bharadwaj to visit the hospital and take "corrective steps" to improve amenities at the facility.

"Karnataka Celebrated Diwali In Darkness Due To Power Cuts": KTR

The "stable government and able leadership" of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has enabled Telangana to make rapid strides in development since 2014, BRS Working President and IT Minister K T Rama Rao on Tuesday said.

The BRS government ensured major development in the state which Congress could not do in six decades, he claimed.

Addressing the Telangana Builders' Association members here, Rama Rao said the land value in Hyderabad has increased 10-20 fold in the last decade.

"Value of lands increased not just in Hyderabad but across Telangana under CM KCR's governance. Stable government and able leadership has played a key role in ensuring development in the state," Rama Rao said, according to a release issued by his office.

Rama Rao, also known as KTR, said that Telangana is seen as a progressive state and has no communal riots or other disturbances, and hence investments from other states and countries are coming here.

Taking a dig at the Congress, Rama Rao claimed, "Karnataka celebrated Diwali in darkness due to power cuts. So decide if you want current (electricity) or Congress".

He said that Maoism prevailed in the Telangana region during the Congress government and charged that Congress failed to give water, jobs, and any kind of social and economic security which encouraged a few to take up Naxalism.

Talking about the plans for Hyderabad, KTR said that the new Hyderabad will be developed between Outer Ring Road and Regional Ring Road. He said that the regional ring road of 330 km will connect Bhongir, Choutuppal, Shadnagar, Sangareddy, and other areas.

He said, "The development you see in Hyderabad now is just the trailer. You will see the movie in the future. If you want the progress and development story to continue, vote for BRS in the coming election." Assembly elections in Telangana will be held on November 30.

CBI ने LG से दिल्ली के पूर्व मंत्री सत्येंद्र जैन के खिलाफ एक और मामले में जांच की मांगी अनुमति

सीबीआई ने दिल्ली के उपराज्यपाल से दिल्ली सरकार के पूर्व मंत्री सत्येंद्र जैन के खिलाफ एक और मामले में जांच करने की अनुमति मांगी है, इसको लेकर आम आदमी पार्टी खासी नाराज है. उसका कहना है कि ये कानून का मखौल उड़ाने के अलावा और कुछ नहीं है.

सूत्रों के मुताबिक दिल्ली के उपराज्यपाल दफ्तर से सीबीआई ने सत्येंद्र जैन के खिलाफ एक और मामले में जांच की अनुमति मांगी है. 

दिल्ली के पूर्व स्वास्थ्य मंत्री सत्येंद्र जैन पर आरोप है कि उन्होंने महाठग सुकेश चंद्रशेखर समेत कई कैदियों से प्रोटेक्शन मनी की उगाही की. CBI ने इस मामले में तत्कालीन तिहाड़ जेल सुपरिंटेंडेंट राजकुमार के खिलाफ भी जांच की अनुमति मांगी है. CBI ने प्रिवेंशन ऑफ़ करप्शन एक्ट के प्रावधानों के तहत ये अनुमति मांगी है.

ये कानून का मखौल- AAP
इस बार आम आदमी पार्टी ने कड़ी प्रतिक्रिया जारी करते हुए कहा है कि केवल और केवल देश के सबसे बड़े ठग सुकेश चंद्रशेखर के बयान के आधार पर सीबीआई ने सत्येंद्र जैन और अन्य लोगों के खिलाफ जांच की अनुमति उपराज्यपाल से मांगी है. ये कानून का मखौल उड़ाने के अलावा और कुछ नहीं है. AAP स्पष्ट रूप से जैन और सुकेश चन्द्रशेखर या उनके किसी भी सहयोगी के बीच किसी भी संबंध, संचार और किसी भी पैसे के लेन-देन से इनकार करती है.

सुकेश के बयान को सत्य मान लेना ठीक नहीं- आप
आप का कहना है कि, चूंकि केंद्र सरकार ने सुकेश चन्द्रशेखर के बयानों को सत्यवादी हरिश्चन्द्र की तरह सच मानना ​​शुरू कर दिया है, इसलिए उसे सबसे पहले सुकेश चन्द्रशेखर के दावों की पूरी तरह से सीबीआई जांच शुरू करनी चाहिए, जिसने 2020 में बिजनेसमैन फैमिली से 200 करोड़ रुपये की उगाही की.
