Advocate files plea in Telangana high court to trace over 2,000 missing kids

https://ift.tt/2QLdVuh HYDERABAD: An advocate, whose letter played a key role in ridding Yadadri of its infamous child trafficking and prostitution tag, has now set his eyes on tracing the missing children in Telangana. He stated that had police not closed missing cases and carried out proper investigation, Hajipur killings could have been averted. Advocate Rapolu Bhaskar, whose letter on the woes of children caught in the clutches of trafficking mafia moved the high court, has now filed a public interest litigation (PIL) on the missing children. The high court had converted his letter into a PIL and ordered crackdown and freed Yadadri from the menace. In his latest PIL, the advocate mentioned about the cases of missing children in Telangana. “Between 2015 and 2018, 2,000 children—1,350 girls and 650 boys — went missing. What is alarming is the fact that police are closing these cases without tracing the children,” he stated in his petition. “Children are being kidnapped by mafia elements and are trafficked. Girls are being forced into prostitution,” he said. “The menace is more prevalent in Adilabad district, where the kidnapped children are being trafficked out to other states. Telangana has the dubious distinction of being at eighth place in the country in trafficking girls,” he said. Most missing children belong to socially and economically weak sections. Police were not filing charge sheets in all the cases of missing children, he alleged. LATEST COMMENT if any family want to adopt a child from Orphanage run by government the procedure is costing nearly 1 lakh rupees and takes 4 to 5 years in the adoptation formalities Bhojmanb SEE ALL COMMENTS ADD COMMENT Bhaskar urged the court to direct the director-general of police (DGP) and home secretary to reopen all the closed cases pertaining to missing children. “This would unearth the real criminals playing with the lives of children in particular and people in general,” he said. He cited the Hazipur killings as an example where the rape and murder of three minor girls came to the fore long after the police closed these cases. “Had police investigated the cases properly, then the crimes would have been averted,” he said.

Friends in all the wrong places

https://ift.tt/2BVSIXZ Striding past the glistening rows of duty-free liquor, watches and perfume, the two international travellers moved like men who could fight. Richard ''Gelly'' Gelemanovic had broad shoulders and a confident gait, while his companion, convicted heroin trafficker Amad ''Jay'' Malkoun, had a physique honed during his 16-year stint in prison. It was July 3, 2003, and Malkoun was recently out of jail, having gained public notoriety after being charged in 1988 as a key player in the state's biggest drug syndicate, which had been busted with $5.5 million of heroin. Amad 'Jay' Malkoun was described by police as 'a powerful standover man'. The federal police who were secretly watching Malkoun at Melbourne's international airport described him in a report as ''a powerful stand-over man … actively involved in the Melbourne drug trade''. The profession of his travelling companion, the man Jay called ...

https://ift.tt/2ZRtSmM A panel of judges acquitted Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) of falsifying documents in order to illegally wiretap the telephone of Turkish journalist, academic and author Mehmet Hasan Altan. According to documents obtained by Nordic Monitor, the intelligence agency falsified the legal briefs submitted to the court to secure authorization for the wiretapping of Altan’s two mobile phones on October 30, 2008. In its brief MIT claimed that it wanted to identify an international espionage network and terrorist activities and listed Altan as a suspect under the fake code name “pastor.” The Istanbul 14th High Criminal Court judge approved the request without knowing that the suspect mentioned by MIT was actually a prominent journalist. MIT requested an extension of the wiretap on February 9, 2009 from a judge at the the 11th High Criminal Court and a second extension on May 8, 2009 from the 14th High Criminal Court. Both requests were approved. MIT fil...
