Ahead Of INDIA Bloc Meet, Arvind Kejriwal Greets Opposition Leaders

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, summoned by the Enforcement Directorate for questioning, is meeting a flurry of Opposition leaders who are in Delhi for tomorrow's INDIA Bloc meet.

Earlier today, he met Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. It is not known what they discussed in the 45-minute meeting.

A meeting with Uddhav Thackeray and his close aide Sanjay Raut was held later in the evening. Tomorrow, he is expected to meet Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin.

Mr Kejriwal was summoned for questioning by the ED today. This was the second time he was summoned. He had skipped the first summons citing the recently concluded Assembly elections.

While his office has not responded to the latest sumons yet, the Aam Aadmi Party said he has Vipassana classes boked months earlier.

One can skip summons from a Central agency thrice, after which a non-bailable warrant is issued. AAP has spoken at length on the possibility of Mr Kejriwal's arrest.    

Tomorrow's INDIA meet is expected to be crucial in view of the Congress's electoral reverses in the heartland states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The party lost Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh to the BJP and failed to win Madhya Pradesh -- a situation that has opened it to massive criticism from INDIA allies.

Today, Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress declared that the Congress should quit its "Zamindari culture" and work towards presenting senior leaders like Mamata Banerjee as the face of the alliance.

The Congress "Can't treat its partners as its subjects. To ensure that the INDIA bloc wins, it must make Mamata Banerjee, who is a three-time chief minister and three-time union minister, and other senior leaders the face of the INDIA bloc," said Trinamool spokesperson Kunal Ghosh.

Nobody Wants India To Become "Industry Of Renting Womb": Delhi High Court On Surrogacy

The Delhi High Court Friday said the law regulating the procedure of surrogacy is intended to curb the exploitation of surrogates and no one wants India to become an "industry of renting a womb".

The court made the observation while hearing a plea by an Indian-origin couple living in Canada challenging the March 14 notification issued by the Centre amending the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act to ban donor surrogacy by altering Form 2 under Rule 7 of the Surrogacy Rules, 2022.

"This reproductive outsourcing was supposed to be curbed by the legislature and that too at the instance of the Supreme Court and we cannot go beyond it," a bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Mini Pushkarna said.

"This is a beneficial act and it is primarily intended to curb the exploitation of surrogates. India is still a developing country and it's not a fully developed country. Because of economic reasons many people may be swayed towards this and CII (Confederation of Indian Industry) in one of its reports is supposed to have stated that India at one point in time was a 2.3 billion dollar industry," the bench said. The counsel for the petitioners said they were Indian citizens and residing in Canada only for work purposes, responding to which the bench said they could undertake the surrogacy facility in that country itself.

"They are coming to India for a certain reason, because of the economic disparity over here that people can rent a womb. No one wants this country to become an industry of renting a womb. That's not the industry we want to promote. The legislature has taken a call on it," the bench said.

It further asked the petitioners what was the harm in going through this procedure in Canada and why they were coming to India for surrogacy when they were settled there.

To this, the petitioners' lawyer said their extended family is in India and that they have genuine medical issues.

As the bench said the availing of the facility has to go beyond commercialisation, the lawyer maintained that there was no commercial transaction being entered into by the couple for surrogacy.

However, Justice Manmohan responded, "Why will any third person do it? There does not stand any reason." The bench said the option of adopting a child is also available to people and if there are some good couples who are willing to adopt those kids their lives will be changed.

The lawyer, who agreed that adoption should be encouraged, however, added that in the case of adoption, there is no biological connection of the child with the couple.

To this, the court said, "...The mindset that adoption should not take place is very wrong. Adoption needs to be encouraged in a country like India." It said there is some intent behind it which is why the executive and legislature have restricted surrogacy and it cannot be said to be arbitrary or irrational or violative of fundamental rights.

"The fact that there is abuse by this industry is rampant and we have seen it. According to CII, it became a 2.3 billion dollar industry in India at one point in time..." "The same thing is with organ donation. If we allow organ donation in this country half of the poor people will lose their organs, that is why the state has prohibited it. You are not understanding the social dimension of it. You cannot see it only from the prism of your clients, you have to look at it from a larger perspective," the bench said.

The counsel representing the authorities told the court that as of now, no surrogacy procedure involving the couple has begun and that it was a premature petition.

The bench said the petition was filed at a premature stage as the procedure for surrogacy of the couple has still not begun.

The petitioners said they are Indian nationals who got legally married according to Hindu rites and ceremonies and are permanent residents of India. They added that they are a childless couple and have a medical condition that necessitated gestational surrogacy through which they intended to become parents.

It said the couple was granted a certificate of medical indication for surrogacy with a donor oocyte in December 2022, stating that they can undergo a surrogacy procedure as an advanced treatment for infertility.

However, on March 14, 2023, the Centre issued a notification amending the surrogacy regulations and banning donor surrogacy.

As the bench was not inclined to entertain the plea, the petitioner's lawyer later withdrew it with the liberty to file afresh in case the need arises.

12-Year-Old Babysitter In US Arrested After Attacking 3-Year-Old With Belt, Smashing Him Into Wall

A 3-year-old boy in the United States is fighting for his life after allegedly being beaten by his 12-year-old babysitter. According to Fox 59, Noah Brown is currently on life support in Indiana after being attacked with a belt and smashed into a wall. He is currently at the Riley Children's Hospital, where he has suffered multiple seizures as a result of the November 29 beatdown at his father's home in Indianapolis. In an online petition, Noah's mother Michelle Lane said that the babysitter was her ex-husband's stepson, who was supposed to care for the 3-year-old and his 5-year-old brother. 

According to Fox 59, the 12-year-old, whose name hasn't been revealed, was arrested by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department over the incident. He has been charged with aggravated assault, two counts of serious bodily injury to a person under the age of 14 and possession of personal weapons.

Speaking to the outlet, Noah's family described the 3-year-old as a very active child. "He's energetic. He's a happy little three-year-old. He wouldn't harm nobody, and nothing keeps that kid down," the family said. 

Further, revealing the horrifying details of the incident, Noah's grandmother Candy King said that the 12-year-old boy has anger issues, so when Noah started crying, the babysitter couldn't handle it. "He beat him with a belt and threw him towards the bed and his head hit the bed frame of the bunk bed," Ms King said. She further revealed that the 12-year-old also rammed Noah's head into a wall, following which he collapsed under the bed after trying to get away.

"He has had to be placed in life support and has had a part of his skull removed due to the intensity of his injuries," Noah's mother said in an online petition. "The 12-year-old boy told his biological father that my son was being 'annoying' while crying so he hit him with a belt, hit his head on the bunk bed frame and rammed him at a wall," she wrote.

Ms Lane stated that her 3-year-old suffered multiple seizures. "He has a long road to recovery. It's not guaranteed what his quality of life is going to be but we're praying and hoping for the best that he comes out just fine," she told the outlet. She also revealed that the little boy had Covid at the time of the attack which means that he has a really long road to recovery ahead of him. 

"It's not guaranteed what his quality of life is going to be but we're praying and hoping for the best that he comes out just fine," the mother said.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Breaks World Record, Becomes Highest-Grossing Tour Ever

Taylor Swift has been making headlines ever since she began much-talked about Eras Tour. The tour is now officially the highest-grossing music tour ever, becoming the first to surpass $1 billion in revenue, as per the Guinness World Record .

Eras Tour began in March this year and is set to conclude in December 2024 after a total of 151 shows across the globe. According to Pollstar, the ongoing concert tour has earned $1.04 billion. This surpasses the record set by Elton John's farewell tour, which ran for five years and brought in $939 million across 328 performances before concluding earlier this year. 

The "Lover" singer described her shows as a trip through all of her musical "eras," spanning more than 3.5 hours and consisting of a set list of 44 songs split into 10 segments. Swifties, her ardent fan following, have flocked in great numbers to see their idol, overwhelming websites with ticket sales, packing hotels to capacity, and even creating seismic activity similar to earthquakes during some of her gigs, as seen in July in Seattle. With an average attendance of 72,000 people and ticket prices of about $238, the tour is making over $17 million every performance.

Meanwhile, the US Federal Reserve report published in July also attributed Eras Tour due to its significant economic impact on the country. The US Federal Reserve recently in its Beige Book, or the Summary of Commentary on Current Economic Conditions which is published eight times a year stated that hotel bookings in Philadelphia had risen to their highest level since the beginning of the pandemic. The report attributed this growth to Ms Swift's concert dates in the city.

"Despite the slowing recovery in tourism in the region overall, one contact highlighted that May was the strongest month for hotel revenue in Philadelphia since the onset of the pandemic, in large part due to an influx of guests for the Taylor Swift concerts in the city," the report read at that time.

The Grammy Award winner was also named 'Person of the Year' by Time Magazine. They call the musical force of nature the "hero of her own story."Taylor Swift found a way to transcend borders and be a source of light... Swift is the rare person who is both the writer and hero of her own story," Time editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs wrote in a statement.

"Much of what Swift accomplished in 2023 exists beyond measurement. She mapped her journey and shared the results with the world: She committed to validating the dreams, feelings, and experiences of people, especially women, who felt overlooked and regularly underestimated."

Supreme Court Transfers Over 40 FIRs Linked To Bitcoin Scam To CBI

In a significant development, the Supreme Court Wednesday ordered transfer of over 40 FIRs related to the Bitcoin cryptocurrency scam to the CBI for further investigation and shifted the trial to a Delhi court.

Observing that the accused, who are on anticipatory bail, cannot be allowed to "stultify" the ongoing probe, the top court vacated its August 30, 2019 order granting them the relief of pre-arrest bail.

A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said now the accused, if not granted regular bail by other courts, will have to seek the relief from the Delhi High Court.

It said the trial of cases wherein the FIRs have been registered will now be conducted at a special CBI court at Rouse Avenue in New Delhi.

The FIRs were lodged by several agencies, including the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate, besides the local police of Maharashtra, West Bengal, Delhi, Chandigarh, Punjab, Karnataka and Jammu and Kashmir.

Dismissing as many as 32 petitions filed by the accused, the bench said, "We are of the view that allegations levelled in the FIRs merit investigation. The exercise of jurisdiction under Art 32 is not warranted." "We are of the view that all the FIRs in question be transferred for further investigation to the CBI. The amount (of Rs 1 crore) deposited before this court pursuant to the interim order shall stand transferred to the special CBI Court at Rouse Avenue, New Delhi," the bench said.

Article 32 of the Constitution allows Indian citizens to seek constitutional remedy directly from the Supreme Court if they are deprived of their fundamental rights.

While taking back the relief of anticipatory bail granted earlier, the bench said, " We cannot allow you to stultify the investigation by not cooperating with the probe agency".

Senior advocate Siddharth Dave, appearing for the accused, said the legal status of Bitcoin is completely a "grey area" and the accused are made to run from one part of the country to another to face the probe agencies and courts.

Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, appearing for the ED, said she was not opposed to the transfer of the probe to the CBI and the trial to a single court in Delhi. "But the interim protection of anticipatory bail must go," the law officer said.

"We are not entertaining the petition under Article 32...We will permit the petitioners to surrender and apply for regular bail before an appropriate court," the CJI observed orally.

The court said the amount of Rs 1 crore deposited with the apex court registry by the accused as a precondition for grant of anticipatory bail will have to be transferred to the trial court in Delhi.

Earlier, the top court was irked over non-compliance of its prior order by Amit Bhardwaj, the key accused who later died. He had allegedly not shared his username/passwords with the Enforcement Directorate.

"Why have you not shared your username and password when it was recorded in our earlier order? We will dismiss your writ petition if there is non-compliance. The Supreme Court is not some district court, where you can play with the orders. You yourself had made the statement that you will share the username and passwords and now there is non-compliance. This is not a Tis Hazari Court," the bench had said.

On March 28 last year, the top court had asked Bharadwaj to disclose the username and password of his Bitcoin wallet to the ED and cooperate with the investigation in the money laundering case against him.

The top court was dealing with cases related to the quashing of multiple FIRs registered against Amit Bhardwaj and others for allegedly cheating investors across India by inducing them to trade in Bitcoin after promising them high returns.

The Enforcement Directorate had said around 47 FIRs were registered against the accused for allegedly duping people across the country. The cases involved trading of 87,000 Bitcoins worth Rs 20,000 crore.

Amit Bhardwaj, his two brothers and their father are accused in the case.

The allegation against Bhardwaj was that he along with other co-accused, who are mostly his family members, had induced unsuspecting people to invest in Bitcoin through a "multi-level marketing scheme" on the false promise of securing for them 10 per cent assured monthly returns for 18 months, a cumulative profit of 180 per cent.

It was alleged that due to the inducement, customers invested their Bitcoins in the scheme but did not get the assured returns.

The FIRs also said in order to escape inevitable punishment under the law, Bhardwaj and other accused collectively, in a dishonest manner, and with the deliberate intention of destroying the evidence, shut down the fake 'gainbitcoin' website through which investments were made.

12-Year-Old Girl Threatens Teacher With Knife During Class At French School

A 12-year-old schoolgirl threatened a teacher with a knife at a school in northern France on Wednesday, the latest in a growing number of incidents that have raised tensions in the French education system.

No-one was injured in the incident in the northwestern city of Rennes but prosecutors said that they have opened a criminal investigation.

"This morning, a pupil threatened a teacher with a knife during a lesson. The pupils, shocked, were immediately moved to safety," the local education authority said in a statement.

Born in 2011, the schoolgirl "came to class armed with a large knife with the apparent intention of killing her English teacher," said Rennes prosecutor Rennes Philippe Astruc.

"During the lesson, in class, she brandished the knife at the victim who fled running" before she was "disarmed by the staff of the establishment" of the Hautes Ourmes junior high school, he added.

There have been growing tensions in schools in France, which has large Muslim and Jewish communities, sometimes linked to the war between Israel and Palestinian Islamist group Hamas.

In October, a radicalised Islamist stabbed his former teacher Dominique Bernard to death in the northern town of Arras.

Earlier this week teachers at a school outside Paris refused to work after a group of pupils objected to the showing in class of a painting by Renaissance master Giuseppe Cesari containing several nude women.

Meanwhile, a French court last week convicted six teenagers for their role in the 2020 killing of teacher Samuel Paty outside his secondary school near Paris by a radicalised Islamist.
