‘Not conducive’: Centre opposes Balwant Rajoana’s death commutation plea in Supreme Court
Rajoana, a former Punjab Police constable, was convicted for his involvement in a suicide bombing outside the Punjab Civil Secretariat in Chandigarh on August 31, 1995
A Kibera court has postponed the plea-taking of Francis Kamau Karanja, a man accused of cyber harassment, directing him to appear before the Milimani Law Courts. The prosecution requested the transfer of the case to Milimani Law Courts due to the alleged message sent to Magistrate Margaret Murage on September 28, 2026. The message, sent from a mobile number linked to Karanja, allegedly threatened Murage, stating that the prosecution of Gabriel Saka was biased and that Karanja would stop at nothing to ensure justice.
The prosecution claims the message could cause fear or apprehension of violence. Karanja faces a charge under Section 27(1)(a) of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act. The court ruled that proceeding with the trial in Kibera could lead to bias allegations and ordered Karanja to remain in custody until his plea is taken before Milimani Court 1 on Thursday.
