Money more serious than murder.

"The Supreme Court granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the alleged Delhi excise policy case." "The Supreme Court's critical 2013 remark likening the CBI to a 'caged parrot' resurfaced...as the apex court emphasized the need for the agency to project an image of independence." ET. In Justice Bhuyan's opinion, "For 22 months, the CBI does not arrest the appellant but after the learned Special Judge grants regular bail to the appellant in the ED case, CBI seeks his custody. In the circumstances, a view may be taken that such an arrest by the CBI was perhaps only to frustrate the bail granted to the appellant in the ED case." Live Law. CBI is the Criminal Bureau of Investigation and ED is the Enforcement Directorate. ED is under the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance (enforementdirectorate.gov.in) and the CBI is "functioning under Dept of Personnel, Ministry of Personnel, Pensions & Public Grievances, Government of India." (cbi.gov.in). Thus both the investigative agencies are under the control of the Central government. In June, "Jharkhand High Court...ordered ex-CM Hemant Soren's release on bail after 149 days in custody, observing that 'none of the registers/revenue records' cited by ED in its land scam and money laundering probe 'bear imprint of the direct involvement of the petitioner'." After release Mr Soren said, "A story was concocted to keep me inside jail for five months." "At times I get worried at the way politicians, CMs, ministers, social workers, writers and journalists are being imprisoned at recent times in an effort to muffle their voices." TOI. In Kolkata, West Bengal, "On August 9, a 31-year old post-graduate trainee doctor was found dead in semi-naked condition in the seminar hall of state-run RG Kar Medical College & Hospital." She had been raped and murdered. Mint. In the early hours of 15 August "a group of miscreants broke through barricades, manhandling protesting doctors, and damaged hospital property, including the emergency building where the body of a woman doctor was found last week." TOI. "A video has surfaced on the internet which is a proof that the mob had vandalised the seminar room of RG Kar Hospital on purpose, to destroy evidence." "The video shows rioters talking among themselves, asking each other to move to the seminar room." Republic World. After taking over the case suo Motu, the Supreme Court asked protesting doctors to get back to work or face "disciplinary proceedings under relevant regulations". HT. Isn't it bloody marvelous? Chief ministers are held in prison for months on unproven charges while no hint of justice on the succession of rapes and murders in Bengal (gondwanauniversity. org.) with no convictions. Probably because, "Sirsa-based Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim, a convict in rape and murder cases, walked out of Rohtak's Sunaria jail...on a 21-day furlough," and "has been granted furlough for a total of 253 days through eight orders since Feb 7, 2022." TOI. Haryana had a BJP led government. India Today. Is India becoming a 'failed state' (wikipedia)? Partially at least.
