Tells HC plea of Rona Wilson on tampered computer not maintainable
The Maharashtra government on Tuesday told the Bombay High Court that Bhima Koregaon accused Rona Wilson’s plea to quash his chargesheet is not maintainable. Mr. Wilson is lodged at Taloja Central Jail and relies upon a report by a digital forensic analyst Arsenal Consultancy in the United States of America that has debunked all the electronic evidence gathered by the NIA and said the attacker planted malware in Mr Wilson’s computer and that it was compromised. On February 10, 2021, he moved the High Court mentioning the report by Arsenal Consulting which was consulted by the American Bar Association (ABA) to examine the clone copy of the hard disc of Mr Wilson’s computer. The report stated that a hacker controlled his computer for a period of 22 months through malware to plant documents which led to an investigation that supposedly unravelled a conspiracy to eliminate Prime Mnister Narendra Modi.The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
