#News Bureau March 28,2025
Where there is a case of Delhi High Court, can anyone fool the police with the magic of words and reach the burnt cash? The fire at the residence of Delhi High Court judge Justice Yashwant Verma had already created a sensation, but now the entry of a mysterious woman has given this story the color of a suspense thriller. Who was this woman, who allegedly entangled the policemen with her sweet talk and found the way to the storeroom where the pile of burnt cash was hidden?
The controversy that started after the fire at the official residence of Delhi High Court judge Justice Yashwant Verma on 14 March 2025 has now reached a new turn after the name of a woman came up. After this incident, news of a huge amount of burnt cash being recovered from Justice Verma’s house had come to the fore. On this, the Supreme Court constituted an inquiry committee. But now a new revelation is in the news – a mysterious woman. She allegedly entangled the policemen in conversation and reached the storeroom where the fire broke out and the cash was kept. The question now arises who was this woman and what was her motive?
On the night of March 14, a fire broke out in a storeroom at Justice Verma’s residence in Lutyens’ Delhi. At that time Justice Verma was out of Delhi with his wife. While extinguishing the fire, firefighters reportedly found piles of burnt cash there. This news not only created a stir in judicial circles, but also forced the Supreme Court to take immediate action. The Supreme Court formed a three-judge committee to investigate the matter, which includes Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court Sheel Nagu, Chief Justice of Himachal Pradesh High Court GS Sandhawalia and Judge Anu Sivaraman of Karnataka High Court.
According to the latest reports, Times of India has claimed that after the fire, a woman reached Justice Verma’s residence in a car and reached the storeroom by engaging the policemen present there in conversation.
This claim raises several questions – was the woman trying to remove or save cash that was not completely destroyed in the fire? Was she connected to Justice Verma or his family, or was she part of a larger conspiracy?
Police sources are saying that the identity of this woman and her role is being investigated, but there has been no official confirmation yet. Media reports are saying that the mobile phones of the fire brigade and policemen who reached first after the fire can reveal many secrets. Their mobile phones have been seized for investigation.
Justice Verma has completely rejected all these allegations. In his response, he said that neither he nor any member of his family had kept any cash in that storeroom. He called it a conspiracy to trap and defame him. Justice Verma also told that the storeroom was separate from his main residence and it was generally used to keep useless items. According to him, when he returned from Bhopal on the evening of March 15, he did not see any burnt cash.
The story of this mysterious woman has made this case more complicated. Delhi Police visited Justice Verma’s residence on March 26 and questioned the staff and security personnel present there. Investigation of CCTV footage is also going on. But there are many questions whose answers are not being found-
Was this woman actually present, or is this an attempt to derail the investigation?
If she was, how did she influence the police and what was her real motive?
Was there a third party involved in the incident, who was trying to remove the cash?
This news has also gained momentum on social media. Some people believe that this could be a diversion tactic, so that attention can be diverted from the main issue of the presence of cash and its source. At the same time, some are considering it an attempt to create sensationalism.
This case is no longer limited to Justice Verma or the judiciary. It is giving rise to a major debate on judicial accountability and transparency in India. The Allahabad High Court Bar Association has opposed the transfer of Justice Verma to his parent court and has demanded that all his decisions be reviewed. On the other hand, the Supreme Court has taken this matter seriously and has tried to put it in front of the public in a transparent manner, as is evident from the release of videos and photographs of burnt cash.
This story of the mysterious woman at Justice Verma’s residence is unfolding like a suspense thriller. Was this woman really an important character, or is it a ploy to confuse the investigation? Only the investigation of the Supreme Court’s inquiry committee and the Delhi Police will be able to unravel this mystery.
