Jaypee cement company MD Sunny Gaur booked for murder, court issues arrest warrant against him

Sunny Gaur, the managing director (MD) of Jaiprakash Associates Limited, which is commonly known as Jaypee group, has been charged with murder.

Gaur and his associates Rajneesh Gaud, KP Sharma, Ramesh Gupta, Ajay Singh Rana, Shiv Shankar Chaubey, DP Rawat, Sanjay Kumar Singh and Raghunandan have been booked for murder.

The Rewa district court has now issued non-bailable arrest warrant against all these seven persons. The case dates back to September 22, 2007 when agitating farmers were shot at the gate of JP cement factory in Rewa.


In the protest, Raghvendra Singh, was killed and 50 others were injured. But no case of murder was registered. The FIR had nine names but instead two security personnel were made accused in the case. The CID inquiry also brought no result as the case was closed.

Later the public interest litigation (PIL) was filed in Jabalpur high court. It led to directions given to Rewa court to take cognisance. The Communist party and other local leaders have been alleging that the Jaypee group has the support and protection of the ruling BJP government.

The court has now booked all accused for murder. The accused Sunny Gaur and all others named in case have a non-bailable arrest warrant issued against them. The case assumes importance as it shows lack of interest on part of police in taking action against culprits.

IT raids at Dilip Suryavanshi, Sudhir Sharma's premises stir BJP in Madhya Pradesh

The Income Tax (IT) department raids at the premises of builder Dilip Suryavanshi, who is linked to BJP, and Sudhir Sharma, have created a stir in the political atmosphere of Madhya Pradesh.

Suryavanshi was known for even getting bureaucrats plum postings by using his clout in the State government. Sudhir Sharma who has stakes in mining was an Acharya at Saraswati Shishu Mandir six years ago, and is now a multi-millionaire because of his links with a BJP minister.

The police found a minister's foreign-made firearm from Sharma's house. Raid was conducted at the residence of Ujjain range IG's brother Devendra Jain, who is a partner of Suryavanshi. Such is the nexus that a milk seller turned crorepati within years after BJP came to power.

Sharma earlier sold milk, and is now owning Audi car. Suryavanshi also has a fleet of expensive high-end cars. His turn over went up from 13 crore to 1100 crore in seven years. Dilip Buildcon was getting all the contracts in Madhya Pradesh.

On one hand illegal mining mafia was digging entire Madhya Pradesh, the builder mafia was running the government. Suryavanshi owns over a dozen companies and has huge investments including deposits in foreign banks.

India Today mentioned that unaccounted wealth of Rs 1,000 crore was unearthed. The news magazine in its report said that the money was seized from BJP's close aides like Suryavanshi, alleged to be a personal friend of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

The raids (conducted on June 20) are on and hawala transaction angle is also being probed. As Enforcement Directorate and other officials take up the issue the entire corruption mafia could be exposed. The need is to nab the politicians and IAS officers who invested with these men.

At least, the myths were ended. People against whom  no one wrote a word in newspapers have finally fallen. The mighty have been grounded. And that was just a raid by IT. If CBI takes up this case, it can dig out the entire corruption saga in state.

Shehla Masood murder case solved but questions remain on conspiracy, politicians' nexus with criminals & investigation

Shehla Masood

First the CBI said that Zahida Parvez, an interior designer, had planned RTI activist Shehla Masood's murder and hired contract killers for shooting Shehla in front of her house in Koh-e-Fiza in Bhopal.

But the CBI didn't reveal much about the motive. It hinted that Zahida was obsessed with BJP's Bhopal MLA Dhruv Narayan Singh, a philanderer, who had many more girl friends, and is known to be a socialite in the high circles in capital.

Was Zahida upset that Dhruv was getting close to Shehla also? She got in touch with 'supari' killers through Bhopal-based man Saqib alias Shakib Danger. Two or three people rode the motorcycle on August 16 and one of them had fired just a single gunshot that killed Shehla.

But the identity of the killers remains a mystery. The name of Kanpur's Shanu Olanga was doing rounds first. Irfan and Salim were the other names. Later it was said Shanu Olanga was murdered because one after the other all the sharp-shooters involved in the case were being targeted.

Investigators then hinted that Shanu was not the shooter at all. Irfan was arrested but where was Salim? Irfan agreed that it was not Shanu but he himself had fired the gunshot. So CBI was unable to extract information from Irfan even after many days of custody.

Then police arrested Tabish. Names like Kasid, Raees Banarasi, Mamavind and others also are now doing rounds. Polygraph test revealed a lot about Dhruv Narayan Singh and his relations. For the police, the biggest challenge is to recover the weapon used in the crime.

Even after keeping the accused in custody, and interrogating them for weeks, it seems that the agency has not able to piece together the story. There are lot of grey areas in the versions. CBI and UP STF that played an important role in cracking case, have their own versions.

Will the high and mighty be exposed and the replies of the persons on whom polygraph was conducted brought in public domain or again it will be hushed up? One hopes that the CBI breaks its silence soon and comes up with a convincing motive and the entire turn of events that led to one of the most mysterious of murders in India.
