Bills to increase CBI and ED chiefs’ tenures to be introduced in RS

According to agency reports, the government is expected to introduce two bills in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday to extend the terms of office of the directors of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Bureau (ED) for up to five years. These bills are intended to replace two decrees issued before the start of the parliamentary winter session last month.

The Central Vigilance Committee (Amendment) Bill 2021 and the Delhi Special Police Agency (Amendment) Bill 2021 may be submitted to the House of Lords for deliberation and approval. After various amendments proposed by the opposition party were rejected, the two bills were passed in the People’s Chamber on December 9.
The Central Vigilance Committee (Amendment) Act 2021 was introduced in the People’s Chamber on December 3 and aims to amend the Central Vigilance Committee Act of 2003, while the Delhi Special Police Agency (Amendment) Act 2021 seeks to amend the Delhi Special Police in 1946 Year establishment law.

According to the PRS legislation study, according to the 2003 Act, the term of office of the law enforcement director is at least two years. The Central Vigilance Committee amendment stipulates that the term of office can be extended by up to one year until the first appointment is completed for five years. The bill says that such extensions can be approved in the public interest based on the committee’s recommendations.
The Delhi Special Police Agency (Amendment) Act of 2021 also inserted a similar extension of the term of the CBI Director.

Some political parties and activists opposed the amendment, claiming that it was an attempt to subvert the independence of the two main investigative agencies and undermine these agencies. However, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has defended the amendments necessary to combat large-scale corruption. Earlier, when these bills were passed in the House of Commons, Federal Minister Gitendra Singh stated that the independence of the CBI was the top priority of the federal government.

On Tuesday, Federal Minister of Finance Nirmala Sitharaman will introduce the 2021 Appropriation (No. 5) bill in Lok Sabha. The bill aims to authorize certain payments and appropriations from the India Joint Fund in the 2021-2022 fiscal year.

Reports from various standing committees, including the welfare of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, agriculture, animal husbandry and food processing, N agriculture, animal husbandry and food processing, will be submitted to both houses of parliament.

2 ‘Kala Jatheri gang members’ killed in encounter with F’bad cops in Fatehabad

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody
The Faridabad police gunned down two members of the Kala Jatheri gang in an encounter near Fatehabad on Friday, officers said. A constable was injured in the gunfight, they added.

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody.

The identity of one of the deceased was not known, while the other was identified as Ravi (single name), who had 28 cases lodged against him in multiple districts.

Aman Yadav, assistant commissioner of Police (ACP), Faridabad said the incident occurred when the police van stopped near a roadside eatery on the outskirts of Fatehabad while transporting Ravi back to Faridabad jail after a court appearance in an Arms Act case.

“Four armed individuals attacked the police team, firing multiple rounds to facilitate Ravi’s escape. In retaliation, police returned fire, killing Ravi and another suspect on the spot,” Yadav said.

Constable Sarjeet Yadav suffered a gunshot wound to his left forearm. He was rushed to a civic hospital, where his condition is reported to be stable, said police.

Yadav said that Ravi, who had been lodged in Faridabad jail since April 24, 2023, was being transported after attending an appeal hearing at the Fatehabad court. The ambush, allegedly orchestrated by Ravi’s associates, was intended to secure his release from custody. The police’s swift response thwarted the plan.

Ravi had a long history of violent crimes, including murder, attempted murder, dacoity, robbery, and Arms Act violations. His activities spanned multiple districts, such as Sonipat, Jind, Rohtak, Faridabad, and Delhi. He was a key member of the Kala Jathedi gang, led by the notorious gangster Sandeep alias Kala Jathedi, who is currently in Tihar Jail.

Kala Jathedi himself is implicated in over a dozen cases across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. In 2020, he famously escaped from Haryana Police custody during a similar ambush orchestrated by his gang.

ACP Yadav confirmed that police teams are actively investigating to identify the remaining attackers involved in the ambush. “We are working to uncover the identities of the other suspects who participated in the operation. Stringent action will be taken against all involved,” Yadav said.

This encounter is part of an ongoing crackdown on organized crime, with authorities aiming to dismantle gangs operating in the region.
