Kasaragod: In a tragic incident that occurred at Bovikkana, on Wednesday, a two-year-old child died after a television set fell on him. 

The deceased toddler has been identified as Muhammed Shakir (2), an only child to Ukrampadi’s couple Nisar and Fayiza. The incident is said to have occurred during the afternoon hours at the Child’s grandmother’s residence in Bovikkana.

Reportedly, while the child was playing in the house, he is said to have pulled the cable connected to the TV causing the Television and the stand holding it to fall on him. Upon hearing the loud noise, the members of the household ran to the child and found him beneath the TV and the stand. 

Although the family immediately took the grievously injured child to Kasaragod Hospital, it proved to be futile as little Shakir succumbed to his injuries.

New Delhi (PTI): The Enforcement Directorate on Monday sought time to file its reply on a plea by actor Jacqueline Fernandez seeking to turn approver in a Rs 200 crore money laundering case involving alleged conman Sukesh Chandrashekar.

Special Judge Prashant Sharma posted the matter for further proceedings on May 8.

The court had earlier on April 17 issued notice to the agency after the actor's counsel filed the application.

Fernandez, who was summoned by the ED several times in connection with the investigation, was named as an accused for the first time in a supplementary charge sheet filed by the agency.

On July 3, last year, the Delhi High Court dismissed her petition for quashing the Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) in the money laundering case.

Two months later, the Supreme Court refused to interfere with the high court's order.

Delhi Police had booked Chandrasekhar for allegedly duping the spouses of former promoters of Ranbaxy, Shivinder Singh and Malvinder Singh, of Rs 200 crore.

There are other ongoing investigations against him in several cases across the country.

Chandrasekhar and his wife, Leena Paulose, facing proceedings in a money laundering case, were arrested by Delhi Police along with others.

The police invoked the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in the case.

Paulose and Chandrasekhar were alleged to have used 'hawala' routes and created shell companies along with other accused persons to park the money earned as proceeds of crime.
