CBI May Be Arrest BP Acharya Soon

HYDERABAD: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) questioned senior IAS officer and home secretary BP Acharya for more than four hours on Wednesday leading to speculation that the premier investigation agency will arrest him shortly.

 

Basing the interrogation on clinching evidence of Acharya's involvement in the Emaar Properties case, CBI sleuths took the high ranking IAS officer to an unidentified place and grilled him thoroughly. Though CBI joint director VV Laxminarayna would not confirm Acharya's questioning, other sources said that the top babu was indeed quizzed in detail by CBI sleuths.

Acharya was questioned with clear evidence of his involvement in the Emaar scam. Acharya too cooperated with the officials and volunteered information that the agency was seeking. The CBI officials showed him the documents they seized from APIIC, Emaar offices and asked him the sequence of events that led to controversial decisions.

CBI sleuths also confronted Acharya with former Emaar director Vijaya Raghavan's confessional statement and asked him what he had to say. Vijaya Raghavan has been cooperating closely with the CBI and sources said that he "has spilled the beans in his statement." BP Acharya is prime accused in Emaar properties case in which CBI has already filed an FIR and submitted a report on the progress of investigation to CBI special court. After obtaining permission of the CBI special court, sleuths are now focusing on questioning of accused. Sources said that arrests will follow in both cases within a week.

Modi Is Not Our PM: Owaisi

MIM is a recognized state political party based in the Indian state of Telangana, with its head office in the old city of Hyderabad, which has its roots in the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen founded in 1927. Unlike most of the regional and national level parties, MIM party leaders ‘fight’ only for the well-being of Muslims, whereas no other party has such communal feelings. In their each and every speech, MIM leaders speak only about Muslims. If these leaders are here to fight for Muslims, then why there are no development works are happening in old city area for decades. Akbaruddin Owaisi faced criticism for making hate remarks on Narendra Modi and Hindus. Recently, his elder brother Asaduddin Owaisi made some notorious annotations. In a one-on-one debate between BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi on the topic of demonetization in a popular Hindi channel, the former left no stone unturned in exposing the latter’s communal designs. Owaisi claimed how most of the Muslim community still remains unbanked and that demonetization has caused severe inconvenience to Muslims. He even went on to say that ATM’s in Muslim-dominated areas weren’t fed enough money. He indirectly alleged that the Modi government hadn’t done anything for Muslims. Even after being pressurized Owaisi didn’t call Narendra Modi as his Prime Minister. He went on said, “Your Prime Minister…” On the other hand, Sambit spoke wisely and called Owaisi a leader of small stature because he talked only of Muslims. He said that no area was Muslim or Hindu and that all areas belonged to India. Owaisi was constantly quoting an RBI report, to which Sambit challenged him to show where the RBI had used the word ‘Muslim’. Sambit even said that if a Muslim leader speaks of Muslims it’s not an issue, but the moment a VHP leader speaks of Hindus people go crazy accusing them of imposing the Hindutva ideology. The most amazing of his counters was to Owaisi’s claims of Muslims not having been brought into the banking system. Sambit said that when banks or ATMs are to be opened in Muslim areas leaders like Owaisi shout that banking is un-Islamic and that Muslims should refrain from it! This video of debate between Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi is going viral in social media.
