Patrick Jane x reader - similar

May I request a Patrick Jane x Holmes Reader (I just recently started watching The Mentalist and I'm obsessed) where the reader is Sherlock's sibling and just as observant as him, maybe the reader and Jane meet on a case or something? - @elemental-of-magic💜

You didn’t particularly like want to go to America, but you Mycroft needed to send someone over to help and out of you and Sherlock he decided you were the best fit.

So here you stood at the crime scene, arms crossed over your chest as you just looked around.

“Excuse me, are you supposed to be here?” A man asked.

You flicked your gaze to him, looking him up and down.

“I can ask you the same thing Patrick Jane, you’re not part of the CBI, you’re not a agent or a detective for that matter.”

He rose a brow at you.

“And you’re not part of the CBI either, but you are a detective.”

You smirked a little, reaching into your pocket, you pulled out a badge cover and tossed it over to him.

“Government agent.” You said.

“But going to be a senior agent aren’t you?”

He walked over and handed you the badge back.

“It’s not about age, it’s about efficiency.”

He nodded his head and looked at you.

“So, what’re you doing so far from home?”

“You’re criminal is actually my criminal, and I know exactly how to find him.”

“Then you better act fast because we’ve just found another body.”

You turned around to look at a woman and you were quickly introduced to them all.

It only took you a few hours to locate your criminal, and he was arrested, and you looked at your phone.

Mycroft: good job. Come home in a few days.

You didn’t bother to reply, you just set it back on the desk and you looked around in boredom.

You grew tired of just banging about the office, so you made you way to their kitchen to make some tea.

“I know you’re behind me.”

“How?”

“You’re not exactly quiet walking.”

“Observant.” Patrick said.

You turned around, setting your cup on the table you sat down and he sat opposite you.

“So, if you’re so observant tell me about me.”

You scanned him up and down, and you began to list everything about him, only leaving out the part about his reason for being with the CBI.

He nodded along.

“You left things out.” He said.

“I assume they would be rather sensitive topics for you.”

“Thank you.”

You gave a nod and sipped your tea.

“You know, revenge won’t do you any good, it won’t give you closure or heal the pain you feel.”

“How’d you know I just didn’t want him arrested.”

“After what he did you’d want more than him to be thrown in prison. But let me tell you, it isn’t worth it. Let him rot away for the rest of his life, sitting with the knowledge that when you find him and arrest him, he has to know he’ll never see the outside world again.”

Patrick nodded his head a little.

“Do you have to leave soon?”

“Not unless my brothers need me.”

“Perhaps you can help me track down Red John?”

You leant back in your chair.

“It is not my war to fight.”

“I understand, I just thought you could offer some insight is all.”

You looked at him.

“I will help you either way, but I will do nothing more than review any evidence you already have. This is not my fight Patrick Jane, it is yours and yours alone, but I will offer you support.”

“Can I ask why?”

You took a small breath.

“I understand the pain of loosing someone you love. I believed my brother was dead for two years, and nothing could heal that pain.”

“He’s not dead?”

“No the bastard faked his death with the help of our older brother. Currently I’m not on talking terms with either of them.”

“I understand why not.”

You looked away and turned back to him after a moment.

“I haven’t introduced myself yet.”

“(Y/N) Holmes, I put it together based on the initials on your badge.” He smiled

'Leave Parents Alone': Trinamool On 'Money Offer' To Kolkata Doctor Family

Amid the massive row over the serious allegations by the parents of the Kolkata doctor, who was raped and murdered at a state-run hospital, the Trinamool Congress today blamed "vulture politics" by the Opposition and doubled down on the charge that fake narratives are being created.

"A video has gone viral and it suggests that the parents were offered money by the police to hush up the case. In another video, the parents have said this allegation is false. They said they only want justice for their daughter. They are heart-broken. There should have been no politics here. Political parties should not bother them," state minister Shashi Panja told the media.

A massive row has erupted after the 31-year-old doctor's parents told the media yesterday that the police offered them money when their daughter's body was still at their home. It is not clear if this money was offered as a compensation.

Soon after, Trinamool supporters started sharing another video, in which the parents are asked if they were offered money in an attempt to hush up the case. "Nothing like this happened, we just want justice," they are heard saying.

The Trinamool today played the second video at their press meet and said the CBI's silence on the progress of its investigation has created a vacuum in which fake news and narratives are being manufactured. "Leading this fake news creation is BJP and its IT cell," she said. "We have earlier seen much talk about the post-mortem report too… sensational claims like 150 gm semen, this is injustice towards the victim."

"Twenty-three days have passed after the transfer of the case from Kolkata Police to CBI. There is no progress report from CBI. We demand that the CBI provide a detailed progress report of their investigation. When Kolkata police was investigating this, regular updates were given out through press conferences," state minister Bratya Basu said.

The ruling party, which is under fire over the shocking incident, questioned if the CBI has nothing in the rape-murder case apart from what Kolkata Police handed over. It also suggested that the focus of the central agency's investigation appears to have shifted from the rape-murder to financial irregularities, in which connection Dr Sandip Ghosh, former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital was arrested.

"The BJP has alleged that evidence was wiped off, why is CBI not coming out then and saying this?" Mr Basu asked.

The Trinamool leaders did not comment on the other allegations levelled by the victim's father.

The doctor's family has alleged that they wanted the body preserved, but police created so much pressure that they were forced to go ahead with the cremation.

"We wanted the body preserved, but so much pressure was created. About 300-400 cops surrounded us. We returned home and found some 300 cops were standing outside. They created such a situation that we were forced to cremate her," he alleged. He also said the cremation was rushed and the cost was not taken from the family. "My daughter went knowing that Bapi (father) could not even pay for this," the victim's father said. He also alleged that some police officers tried to get his signature on a blank sheet of paper. "I tore it up and threw it away."

BJP leaders have targeted the Trinamool over the father's allegations and said the police's role in the case has been exposed.

BJP MLA Agnimitra Paul said the parents' interaction with the media last night has "exposed the role of Kolkata Police". "And YOU Mamata Banerjee tried to suppress this case and protect the conspirators and deviate the direction of this case. You will be forced to answer the people of Bengal," she said in a post on X.

ED Arrests Himansh Verma in Rs 1,257 Crore Syndicate Bank Fraud Case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has apprehended a significant conspirator involved in the Rs 1,257 crore Syndicate Bank loan fraud. On October 15, Himanshu Verma, also known as Himansh Verma, a resident of Chandigarh, was arrested and subsequently presented before a special court in Jaipur. The judge has remanded Verma to ED custody for 10 days, until October 25.

ED Initiates Money Laundering Investigation

The ED initiated a money laundering investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, against officials of the former Syndicate Bank (now Canara Bank) and other suspects. This investigation was based on First Information Reports (FIRs) and a charge sheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

Details of the Syndicate Bank Fraud

According to the ED's Jaipur-based Zonal Office, from 2011 to 2016, the main fraudster Bharat Bomb, a Chartered Accountant from Udaipur, Rajasthan, colluded with bank officials to defraud the Syndicate Bank of Rs 1,257 crore through fraudulent loans and fake cheque discounting.

Himansh Verma's Role in the Fraud

The ED's investigation revealed that Himanshu Verma was a key associate of Bharat Bomb, receiving approximately Rs 85 crore in proceeds from the crime. Properties worth Rs 14.88 crore belonging to Verma and his family have been attached by the ED.

"Himanshu Verma received proceeds of crime in various bank accounts he operated and controlled, using complex transactions to place, layer, and integrate the tainted funds," stated the ED.

Verma's Criminal Background and Evasion Tactics

The agency also highlighted that Verma is a hardcore criminal with multiple FIRs registered against him and his family members in various police stations across Punjab and Chandigarh. He is wanted by both the Punjab Police and the CBI.

In an attempt to evade authorities, Verma changed his name to Himansh Verma, obtained a fraudulent police verification report, and secured a new passport under his new name. He traveled abroad via Nepal before the passport authorities canceled his passport upon discovering his criminal background.

Lack of Cooperation with ED Investigation

Despite multiple summonses from the ED, Verma remained uncooperative throughout the investigation, appearing only once.

Patrick Jane × platonic! Medic!Reader

Word count: 600 words

It was a busy day at CBI, when the newest addition of the team , a young medic had entered the building. With newfound hope and a bit of nervousness she was ready to help Lisbon's team in any way she could.

' Morning. You must be Y/N. I am agent Lisbon, and this is my team. '

' that's Grace, Rigsby, Cho and the guy sleeping on the couch is Jane. Welcome to the team.'

Y/N smiled gratefully at Lisbon's kindness and went to her office to set up medical supplies.

Y/N was initially a quiet girl, minding her business but always ready to help whenever she could . The team quickly warmed up to her kindness and optimism.

But Jane, as always, was skeptical of her , trying to figure her out. The problem was that Y/N wore her heart on sleeves, but he still was intrigued by her.

He had noticed her gaze on him from time to time but never asked her the reason.

One day, things took turn for the worse , and Jane had just escaped a near death situation. He had bruises on his head that were being tended to.

Y/N was silently patching him up, but her wet eyes told a different story to Jane.

' you must be tired of patching me up now, huh Y/N?'

Silence.

' what, cat got your tongue darling?' he chuckled.

Tears reached her cheeks and Jane felt guilty.

' Say something, please'

' Why? Why are you like this, Mr. Jane? You don't give a damn, do you? You don't care about the team, about us, about Lisbon.'

' Of course I do Y/N.' Jane said.

' No, you don't. Because if you did, you wouldn't be out there being so reckless with your life. You think everything is a joke, a fun game. It is our lives Mr. Jane. You are an important part of our lives and we need you. I see the hate you have for yourself, the fake smiles you put out for the world,the sarcasm you use to cope with what's lost. That's not what your family would have wanted, you know. You deserve to be happy.'

' Y/N I - ' Jane tried.

' No, you listen to me and you listen to me good. I don't know what kind of person you were in your past. But now, for me, you are a good man, with a big heart, and you deserve to be happy, you deserve to smile even if you don't think so. And most importantly you deserve to be loved. Do you know , how worried Lisbon was? Her heart was in her throat for god's sake. She did everything to save you, and here you are joking. You better apologize to her Mr. Jane or the next time I will make sure to break your bones instead of patching you up, do you understand?'

Jane stood up, and smiled, looking at her affectionately

' Yes ma'am'

He then kissed Y/N's cheeks as a thank you and embraced her, content in knowing the amount of care the young medic held for him.

Huge BJP Protest Against Arvind Kejriwal Over Delhi Liquor Policy Case

Arvind Kejriwal has refuted allegations that "kickbacks" from the now-scrapped liquor sales policy were used to fund the AAP's election campaign in Goa last year.

New Delhi: The BJP on Saturday organised a huge protest outside the Aam Aadmi Party's offices in Delhi, demanding Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's resignation over allegations of corruption linked to the now-scrapped liquor sales policy

BJP workers were seen clashing with the police and trying to breach the barricades put up to control the crowd. Others stood with placards and shouted slogans.

The BJP has targeted the Chief Minister over the recently filed second charge sheet by the Enforcement Directorate and said it proved that he was involved in corruption.

A court on Thursday accepted the supplementary charge sheet against five individuals and seven companies in connection with alleged irregularities in the Delhi excise policy.

The policy was withdrawn last year by the AAP government after a CBI probe was ordered by the capital's Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, a representative of the BJP-led government at the centre.

The Enforcement Directorate, which investigates financial crimes and also reports to the BJP-led government at the centre, claimed that a part of the alleged ₹ 100 crore "kickbacks" earned from the policy was used in the AAP's campaign for last year's Goa assembly election.

Mr Kejriwal has strongly refuted all charges, and said that the case was "fake" and aimed to help the BJP "topple" governments.

The agency has also claimed that an accused in the alleged scam - Aam Aadmi Party communications in-charge Vijay Nair -- had arranged a FaceTime video call from his phone between Mr Kejriwal and the boss of a liquor firm who has been arrested.

On behalf of AAP leaders, Vijay Nair received ₹ 100 crore as advance for licenses in Delhi liquor policy, the agency has alleged.

Vijay is "his boy," and Mr Kejriwal had apparently told Sameer Mahendru, chief of Indospirits, to "trust him and carry on with him," the ED has claimed in the chargesheet, which has been accessed by NDTV. Mr Kejriwal is not named in the chargesheet as an accused.

AAP sources claimed that there is no truth in the allegations of the Enforcement Directorate and that Sameer Mahendru has told a court that his statement was obtained under duress.

The Enforcement Directorate and the CBI have claimed that irregularities were committed while modifying Delhi's excise policy with connivance and kickbacks from a lobby known as the "South Group".

The group comprised Kavitha of Telangana's ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi, Magunta Srinivasalu Reddy, an MP from Andhra Pradesh's ruling YSR Congress, and Sarath Reddy of Aurobindo Pharma, the agency has alleged.

Under it, the licence fee was waived or reduced, and undue favours were extended to liquor licence holders, the agencies have claimed.

Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has been named as an accused and questioned in the case. The others accused in the case include then Excise Commissioner Arva Gopi Krishna, Deputy Commissioner Anand Tiwari and Assistant Commissioner Pankaj Bhatnagar.

AAP had claimed that the case, which came up in the run-up to the Gujarat elections, was a diversionary tactic of the BJP, which later swept the polls. Mr Sisodia, after a nine-hour questioning session by the Enforcement Directorate officials, claimed they asked him to quit AAP.

Manish Sisodia says ‘Op Lotus’ in mind, entire Delhi excise probe fake; CBI responds

Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia on Monday was questioned by officers of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for about nine hours in the Delhi excise policy case. Sisodia, who had arrived at the CBI office in the national capital at 11.15am, was seen leaving the place around 8.55pm.

After exiting the central agency’s office, Sisodia told reporters that there is no case in excise policy and the entire interrogation is to make “Operation Lotus” (a term used by Opposition camps to refer to BJP’s alleged attempts at toppling governments across the country) successful in Delhi.

“Today I saw in the CBI office that there’s no issue of any scam (excise policy case). The whole case is fake. I understood all that in the 9hr-questioning today. The case isn’t to probe any scam against me, but to make Operation Lotus successful in Delhi,” Sisodia said.

He further said that he was asked to leave the AAP, failing which more such cases will be registered against him, to which he replied he would not leave the Arvind Kejriwal-led party for the BJP.

“I was asked inside the CBI office to leave (AAP), or else such cases will keep getting registered against me. I was told ‘Satyendar Jain ke upar konse sachhe cases hain?’…I said I won’t leave AAP for BJP. They said they’ll make me CM,” he said.

The CBI later refuted the Delhi deputy chief minister’s allegations and said he was questioned in a professional and legal manner.

“Manish Sisodia’s statement will be verified, further action will be taken as per requirements of investigation,” a CBI spokesperson told PTI.

Sisodia, who is in charge of the Delhi government’s excise department, besides education, has been named as the number one accused in a first information report (FIR) filed in the excise case back in August.

The Delhi deputy chief minister has been under the scanner for alleged deliberate and gross procedural lapses that provided undue benefits to the tender process for liquor licenses for 2021–22.

According to the CBI and Enforcement Directorate (ED), irregularities were committed while modifying the excise policy, with undue favours being extended to licence holders. They said licence fees were also waived or reduced and the L-1 licence was extended without the competent authority’s approval.

In August, agencies carried out searches at his official residence along with several other locations.

Other accused in the excise policy scam case include a former employee of Pernod Ricard Manoj Rai, director of Brindco Sales Amandeep Dhal, authorised signatories of Mahadev Liquors Sunny Marwah, Arun Ramchandra Pillai and Arjun Pandey.
