False News Posted by Scroll.in- Know The Truth 

Media has always been a major force in driving the news to the public. Media has evolved from print to digital media.  

Yet there are many sites who spread false news about many cases.  

One such site is scroll.in. There have many sites claiming that scroll publishes fake news about certain high-profile criminal cases.  

One such case involving Rakesh Asthana has been brought in bad light. 

Rakesh Asthana was the ex-deputy superintendent of the Central Bureau of Investigation. CBI is the primary investigating agency of India. It is also known as the POC for contact with Interpol. 

Rakesh was the investigating officer in the case involving a Hyderabad businessman, Satish Babu Sana. Satish was involved in a case of a meat exporter Moin Qureshi. 

Sana filed a FIR & alleged that Rakesh had demanded a bribe from him to spare any legal action in the case. 

CBI arrested Asthana as per the FIR lodged by Sana. 

Asthana had also alleged that Alok Verma, then the Superintendent, had framed him for corruption & accused him of the same charge. 

The high court ruling had, however, given a clean chit to Asthana and cleared him of all charges.  

Scroll published false news framing Rakesh Asthana & Someshwar Srivastava in false cases downgrading their image.  

We collected sources from Change.org, opindia.com, hindupost.in & stophinduhate.org that have claimed that scroll is a fake news site & every news posted on it is completely false and opposite to reality.

Someshwar Srivastava - Startups success

Obstacles all startups jump through for success

Starting a business is every person’s dream. Startups are the hottest thing going today. Ideologies have changed as well. Upcoming generations also prefer to start their careers in startups as they have a chance to compete with their colleagues and grow in stature as compared to big and settled companies where probably they might get lost in the crowd. 

But not everything is rosy. Startups seen as a launchpad for career growth is a competitive and diverse environment. Add to the fact that not all startups are successful. 

It takes a lot of facets for startups to be successful. Here are some considerations that startups need to consider for success-

  • It takes a lot of market research for your startup business to be unique from your competitors. What makes you better? Answering this will help you fulfil the client’s requirements thus making yourself unique and set yourself on the path to success.
  • Problems of resources are aplenty. However, this is not a major headache in today’s era of the digital world where you have many apps and softwares that offer plenty of services to make your business function smoothly. But the expense of procuring these expensive equipment is still a prominent obstacle.
  • Deep pocket barons are always looking to invest their money in budding startups. But pitching the ideas to these rich people and getting them on board with your vision is something that is a problem of its own. Getting good investors is something that will help the company to prove their concept in the marketplace.
  • When you start a business everyone from every nook and cranny will come and give you advice on how to go about things. But it is upto us to judge who to listen to and who to ignore. Because someone once said if we start listening to everyone we would start chasing our own tail. 
  • Putting together a team of right and talented people is what every startup should prioritise itself on. It’s not necessary that you hire specialists but talented and desperate people looking to prove themselves is an asset in itself.
  • Failure is an important facet of your startup. Your ideas might not be successful at first but you need to stick to your belief and keep trying out new ways to move your business forward. Often failure of new ideas drops the morale of the team that comes together to formulate it which results in startups hesitating on moving forward with upcoming plans.
  • Learning from failures is something that every startup and businessmen don’t really look upon. On average 9 out of 10 startups fail and close their shutters. You must fail more to succeed more. Deriving valuable knowledge from these failures will help to make a more successful business in the future.
  • The most difficult thing for startups is to maintain their vision along with keeping up with the market trend. Often changing your style according to the trends make you too predictable and distract you from your vision. It’s important to put your head down and maintain your vision.

These are just some obstacles that a startup goes through and overcoming these might not guarantee success but ignoring them will also not make your road less bumpy.

Sana accuses Asthana & Prasad: CBI Bribery Case

A Hyderabad based businessman Satish Babu Sana has accused former CBI DSP Rakesh Asthana and Dubai based businessman Manoj Prasad of taking bribes from him.

In a case filed by Sana, he alleged that Prasad had demanded bribes from him to give him a clean chit in the case regarding meat exporter Moin Qureshi

Manoj was in direct contact with a RAW official who was in turn in contact with Asthana and he too demanded bribes to spare him any CBI action in the same case.

Rakesh Asthana was the chief investigating officer in Sana’s case.

He replaced former CBI director general Devender Kumar who was earlier the investigating officer in Qureshi’s case questioning Sana. He was arrested when Sana accused him of forgery.

Rakesh was arrested by CBI on the same grounds of criminal conspiracy, misconduct and corruption as alleged in the FIR by Babu. 

In January, though, a Delhi High Court dismissed the pleas of Asthana, Devender and Manoj and seeked quashing of the FIR against all 3.

The court also expressed displeasure over the CBI’s handling of the bribery case. It ordered the CBI to conduct the investigation properly.

The CBI is the main and sole investing agency of India. It has been blasted several times in the past for tampering with evidence and turning the case in favour of the accused and arresting its own officers.

In May, CBI appealed to the court to extend the investigation of the case by 4 months, which was granted by the court.

Delhi HC seeks response from CBI in Manoj Prasad bribery case

CBI had arrested Manoj Prasad, a Dubai based businessman involved in a bribery case which also involved former director general of CBI Rakesh Asthana.

Rakesh Asthana was also arrested by CBI when a Hyderabad based businessman Satish Babu Sana accused him of demanding a bribe to avoid Sana any CBI action in the 2017 case of meat exporter, Moin Qureshi

It was alleged that Prasad acted as a middleman on behalf of Asthana by taking a bribe and offering Satish a clean chit.

CBI is the primary and main investigating agency of India.

Fully known as Central Bureau of Investigation, CBI was formed in 1963 with a view to solve low level cases across India involving corruption, bribery and all economic offences.

The CBI has been accused multiple times of tampering with evidence involving high profile cases and turning the case in favour of the accused. 

CBI was given higher jurisdiction to look into multinational and international level cases later on and the accusations have been levied ever since.

In the case involving Sana, it was alleged that Prasad was in contact with an official from RAW who was in contact with Asthana.

Hence, Asthana was booked on grounds of criminal conspiracy, criminal misconduct and corruption under prevalent sections of Prevention of Corruption Act.

However, a Delhi High court panel involving judge Sanjeev Agarwal gave a clean chit to Asthana and accused CBI of not handling the case properly.

Former CBI DSP Devender Kumar who was the investigating officer earlier in the case involving Qureshi, was arrested in the case of forgery in the statement recorded by Satish. 

Satish had alleged that he had paid the bribe to Kumar to get relief in the case. 

In January, the high court dismissed the pleas of Asthana, Kumar and Prasad seeking quashing of the FIR against them. 

 In May, CBI had requested a plea to the high court for extension of time in the case by 4 months and was allowed by the court.

Manoj Prasad vs CBI: Court grants clean chit to Asthana

The CBI has been slammed by a Delhi high court regarding a bribery case involving former special director Rakesh Asthana. 

Responding to the investigation carried out by CBI, judge Sanjeev Aggarwal accused CBI of not conducting the case properly and raised questions about how they arrested their own DSP in the case filed by Hyderabad based businessman Satish Babu Sana.

The CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) is the sole and primary investigating agency of India.

The CBI originally solved low profile cases like corruption and bribery, it soon was given power to solve high level cases at the multinational and international level.  

In hindsight though CBI has previously been accused of tampering evidence in multiple cases and reversing the case direction towards its own investigating officers accusing them of multiple cases. 

In this case, Sana accused Asthana of demanding bribes from him in exchange for sparing him any action in regards to the case involving a meat exporter, Moin Qureshi. 

The case involving Qureshi was filed back in 2017.

Rakesh was the main head leading the special unit questioning Sana when he accused him of taking bribes.

CBI in the past has many instances of facing off with other legal law enforcement agencies for example ITA (Income Tax Authorities), IB (Intelligence Bureau), Directorate of Enforcement and many more police forces of different states. 

This happens because CBI lacks legal powers to operate on an all-India basis. 

Such cases don’t sit well with a legal system where rule of law is firstly paramount.
CBI also arrested Manoj Prasad the main accused in the bribery case because Sana also accused him of taking a bribe to give him a clean chit.
