Mumbai, Feb 5:  A local esplanade court in Mumbai acquitted five persons who were arrested soon after serial blasts in Mumbai’s local trains. The police had arrested them for being members of banned organisation SIMI and indulging in unlawful activities, however the police could not prove charges against them.mumbai

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mahesh R. Natu held that the crime branch failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt and acquitted Irfan Sayed, Najeeb Bakkali, Firoz Ghaswala, Mohammed Ali Cheepa and Imran Ansari.

Unit 11 of detection crime branch in Mumbai had arrested all these accused after a police officer had received a tip off that Irfan was a member of SIMI and he was indulging in anti-social activities. The police kept a watch for sometime and arrested these five persons.

On the other hand, defence lawyers Ishrat Ali Khan, Tahwar Khan Pathan, Jamal Khan, Styaram Gaud and Aftab Qureshi claimed that the police falsely implicated the accused and allegedly planted articles that were shown to have been seized from the accused.

According to advocate Pathan, the major problem with this case was that police obtained faulty sanction to impose UAPA. The defence pointed out that the articles seized from the accused were not sealed and hence were not acceptable as evidence in the court of law.

After hearing both the sides the court acquitted all the five accused.

Bengaluru, Jul 30: As the protest by Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers entered the 20th day, Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu on Wednesday assured them that he would take up their demands with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa.

The ASHA workers are sitting in protests with a number of demands that include a minimum salary of Rs 12,000 per month.

Assuring that their matter will be taken up, Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu said while speaking to reporters, "We know how hard ASHA workers have been working as frontline warriors in the fight against COVID-19. I will discuss with CM about their demand for a minimum wage of Rs 12,000 per month and the final decision will be taken soon."

"We went to the police to allow us to protest. Officials then took us to the CM. During the meeting, he demanded some time to sort out our issues. 

We told him we are protesting for the past 20 days and that it was he who needs to call a meeting with us. Only then will he know the problems being faced by ASHA workers," an ASHA worker said clad in her signature pink sari.

"When asked as to why salaries of ASHA workers were not hiked, while it was done for doctors and other healthcare officials, the CM requested for time to look into the matter. 

We are not much happy now, but will if he comes in front of the media and promises to sort out our issues, then we will listen to him", she added.
