Courts Curb ED Case and Gag Order as Police Press Patani Firing Manhunt and BMW Probe

Judicial pushback on overreach sets the tone for a week of high-stakes policing across headline cases.

Overview

  • Bombay High Court quashed the ED’s PMLA proceedings against Krishna and Prasanna Chamankar, ruling a money‑laundering case cannot continue after a final acquittal in the predicate offence.
  • A Rohini district judge set aside a lower court’s one‑sided takedown order in an Adani defamation suit, holding that journalists must be heard before any interim restraint on reporting.
  • In the Disha Patani house‑firing case, UP STF and partner agencies killed alleged shooters Ravindra “Kallu” and Arun in Ghaziabad, recovered Glock and Zigana pistols, linked the attack to the Goldy Barad–Rohit Godara network, and released images of two suspects, Nakul and Vijay, who remain at large.
  • In Delhi’s BMW crash, accused Gaganpreet Kaur remains in judicial custody until 27 September as the court issued notice on preserving CCTV and listed her bail hearing for 20 September, while police denied a rescue van driver’s claim that his vehicle was seized.
  • Other active probes include Hyderabad police arresting two domestic workers in Renu Agrawal’s killing and bringing them back on transit remand, a Bijnor tanker double death under investigation with families alleging murder, and an FIR in Rajasthan’s Kapasan after a youth was assaulted.
