The Supreme Court has released video footage and images depicting unaccounted cash allegedly recovered from the official residence of High Court Judge Justice Yashwant Varma. The visuals reveal partially burnt currency notes scattered across the floor. This cash was reportedly stored in four jute bags, and the discovery occurred when fire department personnel arrived at Justice Varma’s residence to address a minor fire that broke out on Holi day.

The images were accompanied by an inquiry report from Delhi High Court Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyay concerning the controversy involving Justice Varma. CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO

In his report, Chief Justice Upadhyay recommended a more thorough investigation following Justice Varma’s denial of the allegations, which he claims are part of a conspiracy against him. Justice Varma stated that neither he nor any family member had placed cash in the storeroom where it was discovered. He clarified that he and his wife were in Madhya Pradesh at the time the fire occurred at his residence, leading to the cash’s recovery.

In response, Chief Justice of India, Justice Sanjiv Khanna, has mandated a comprehensive investigation into the issue. Justice Khanna has formed a three-member committee to examine the circumstances surrounding the alleged recovery of the significant amount of unaccounted cash. He has also instructed Chief Justice Upadhyay of the Delhi High Court not to assign any judicial responsibilities to Justice Varma during the inquiry.

The committee will consist of the Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Justice Sheel Nagu, Chief Justice of the Himachal Pradesh High Court, Justice GS Sandhawalia, and a judge from the Karnataka High Court, Justice Anu Sivaraman.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
