Kerala government replaces prosecutor in ED assault case amid bail controversy, appoints Special Public Prosecutor

Kerala government replaces prosecutor in ED assault case amid bail controversy, appoints Special Public Prosecutor The Kerala government on Sunday (June 28, 2026) appointed senior advocate A. Santhosh Kumar as the Special Public Prosecutor in the case relating to the alleged assault on Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials following a raid on the residence of the Leader of the Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan in Thiruvananthapuram recently. The appointment comes amid controversy over the handling of the prosecution after the ninth accused, Harish Kumar, a Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) worker, was granted bail. The outcome prompted the Thiruvananthapuram City Police to seek the removal of the existing prosecutor T. Geena Kumari whose conduct in the bail proceedings has come under intense scrutiny. The police alleged that she failed to effectively oppose the bail application, despite a detailed report recommending its rejection. According to official sources, a report citing 13 grounds for denying bail was not adequately presented before the court. They further contend that the prosecutor argued that custodial interrogation was unnecessary, a stand that allegedly facilitated the grant of bail to the ninth accused.

AJUP chief Humayun Kabir booked for allegedly threatening BJP

AJUP chief Humayun Kabir booked for allegedly threatening BJP The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leadership in Murshidabad has lodged a First Information Report against the chairperson of the Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AJUP), Humayun Kabir, for allegedly threatening to harm a religious community during a rally on Friday (June 26, 2026). Kabir, who is also an MLA, sparked controversy with his remarks at a rally in the Rejinagar constituency. “The FIR was lodged by the BJP’s youth wing and Ram Sita Sewa Mandir. The complaint was based on a viral video from the rally in which Mr. Kabir allegedly called for the mobilising of a particular religious community against another if they cross the line,” said an official from the Behrampur police station. He issued a stern warning to the Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, demanding an immediate end to the BJP’s political stranglehold in Murshidabad district. He said, “The day I mobilise and take to the field, I will strike back so hard that there won’t be anyone left even to carry their party flag.” This comes a day after a BJP leader from Malda’s English Bazar lodged another FIR against Mr.

New portal for social auditing of rural schemes launched

New portal for social auditing of rural schemes launched Ahead of the implementation of the Viksit Bharat - Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) from July 1, Union Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched ‘Rural Internal Audit Portal’ during the Rashtriya Gramin Vikas Sammelan here on Sunday (June 28, 2026). The Ministry said the AI-enabled portal marks a significant step towards enhancing transparency, accountability, and technology-driven governance. The portal is a unified digital platform for end-to-end management of internal audits covering both risk-based and compliance audits. “Conceived by the Office of the Chief Controller of Accounts (CCA), Ministry of Rural Development, and developed in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre (NIC), the Portal represents a significant milestone in the Ministry’s digital governance journey,” the Ministry said, adding that the portal has transformed internal audit from a fragmented, paper-intensive, and largely manual exercise into a transparent, technology-enabled, and data-driven management system. Chouhan said when he was the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, he had noticed irregularities in implementing the erstwhile MGNREGA in many places. He said there were shortcomings such as use of machines for work instead of labourers, errors in muster rolls, and incorrect attendance that led to significant misappropriation of funds. “We are making certain changes such as increasing the working days of labourers from 100 to 125. No needy labourer will be left without work,” he said, adding that the Narendra Modi government had consistently increased allocation to the rural job guarantee scheme and involved local self-governments in its implementation. He said the revamped scheme would have improved implementation and the…

Kerala Police warn companies against ‘boss scam’ cyber fraud

Kerala Police warn companies against ‘boss scam’ cyber fraud The Kerala Police on Sunday (June 28, 2026) warned companies and institutions about the ‘boss scam’, a cyber fraud involving the impersonation of senior executives to trick employees into transferring funds. In a statement, the police said fraudsters first create panic by sending fake urgent messages purportedly from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) or official audit teams to senior executives and Finance department staff. They then send ZIP files containing malware, which, once opened, allow them to gain access to an organisation’s computer systems. Once they gain access, the fraudsters either create fake profiles of senior officials or hijack their accounts. They then use WhatsApp Web to send messages posing as CEOs or other top executives, directing employees to urgently transfer money and siphoning off company funds. The police advised employees not to rely solely on WhatsApp or email messages when processing financial transactions. They should directly contact senior officials and verify any request before transferring large sums of money. Unauthorised devices The statement also cautioned against opening ZIP, EXE or DLL files received from unknown sources and advised organisations to regularly check the “linked devices” section of WhatsApp to ensure that no unauthorised devices are connected.

Amendments to Medical Devices Rules proposed

Amendments to Medical Devices Rules proposed The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has proposed amendments to the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, to shorten the timelines for the grant of manufacturing licences for medical devices across different risk categories. The draft notification, published in the official gazette, seeks to simplify and expedite the licensing process while ensuring continued compliance with quality, safety, and performance requirements, the Health Ministry said on Sunday (June 28, 2026). The proposed amendments seek to rationalise the timelines for the grant of manufacturing licences for medical devices across different risk categories. The initiative is aimed at enhancing the ease of doing business, improving regulatory efficiency, and facilitating the timely availability of quality medical devices in the country, the Ministry said. Under the Medical Devices Rules, 2017, medical devices are classified into four risk-based categories — Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D — with Class D comprising the highest-risk devices. The rules prescribe statutory timelines for processing applications for manufacturing licences for each category. The proposed amendments seek to reduce these timelines, thereby enabling faster regulatory approvals while maintaining the established standards of quality, safety, and performance. For Class B medical devices, which include low to moderate risk devices, including blood pressure monitors, hypodermic needles and pulse oximeters, the timeline for grant of manufacturing licence has been proposed to be reduced from 140 days to 115 days.
