SM Krishna’s son-in-law named in Panama Papers scam: S.R Hiremath
Hubballi, September 14: Social activist and senior advocate S.R Hiremath alleged that the name of Umesh Mohan Hingorani, the second son-in-law of former chief minister S.M Krishna, was mentioned in the Panama Papers which leaked the details of ill-gotten assets of noted personalities of the country and abroad.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, Hiremath said that Umesh Mohan has invested illegally in England. He was an employee in UB Company and how did such a person get so much of money to invest in foreign country in the name of SDU Ventures? He has eight companies in his names and all the companies have Bengaluru address. He would write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to conduct a high-level probe from an independent agency, he said.
When Umesh Mohan started his company in the foreign country, S.M Krishna was the Foreign Affairs Minister. So, it was a serious issue and the truth could come out from an impartial investigation. The names of many international leaders including former Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif and others were leaked. But he was shocked to see the name of Umesh Mohan in the list, he said.

Congress voices concern over safety of minorities in Bangladesh
New Delhi (PTI): The Congress on Wednesday expressed deep concern over the "atmosphere of insecurity" being faced by religious minorities in Bangladesh and the arrest of Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das.
In a statement, Chairman of the party's Media and Publicity Department Pawan Khera said, "The Indian National Congress expects the government of India to prevail upon the Bangladesh government to take necessary steps and ensure security of life and property of minorities in the country".
"The Indian National Congress expresses its deep concern at the atmosphere of insecurity being faced by religious minorities in Bangladesh. The arrest of the ISCKON monk is the latest example," he said.
A lawyer was killed on Tuesday during clashes between security personnel and followers of Das, who was denied bail and sent to jail by a court in the port city of Chattogram in Bangladesh in a sedition case.
Das, the spokesperson for Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote, was arrested from the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka a day earlier.
India on Tuesday noted with "deep concern" the arrest and denial of bail to the Hindu leader, and urged authorities in the neighbouring country to ensure the safety and security of Hindus and all other minority groups.
Bangladesh reacted sharply to the Ministry of External Affairs statement, saying it was unfounded and stood contrary to the spirit of friendship between the two countries.
In its statement, Dhaka said it does not interfere with the country's judiciary, which is fully independent
