Doctor among 6 arrested in Vizag kidney racket case

[ad_1]
Visakhapatnam: Visakhapatnam Police have arrested a doctor and five others in a kidney racket case.
Cases under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 307, 326 and 420 have been registered against them. More accused are likely to be arrested.
Police said on Sunday that they have arrested Prameswara Rao, doctor of a private hospital, and middlemen Kamaraju, Srinu, Shekhar, Elina and Kondamma.

Visakhapatnam Police Commissioner Trivikram Varma told a news conference that the gang was targeting families facing financial problems.
The police chief said kidney surgeries were performed at Tirumala Hospital in the city. Police investigations revealed that recently two kidney operations were performed on Vinay Kumar and Vasupalli Srinivasa Rao.
The racket came to light two days ago after Vinay Kumar, a resident of Vambay Colony in Visakhapatnam, approached police complaining that an agent lured him to sell one of his kidneys. The agent promised that this could fetch him Rs 8.5 lakh but after removing his kidney at a private hospital, he was paid only Rs 2.5 lakh on December 16, 2022.
The police focused on the involvement of doctors in the racket. Two doctors were found to have played a key role in kidney surgery.
Narla Venkateshwar Rao is alleged to have played an important role. He was arrested and jailed in the past for a kidney racket.

Taking serious note of the illegal kidney transplants, Vizag district administration on Saturday sealed Tirumala Hospital.
The authorities have registered criminal cases against the hospital, which was operating without the requisite permissions.
Health Minister Vidadala Rajini has said that the government has stepped up the vigil in view of the rise in cases of illegal kidney transplants.
She said investigations have been ordered into the kidney racket which was being operated by Tirumala Hospital located at Pendurthi.
The health minister has promised that no one involved in this racket will be spared. She said a state-level committee would be constituted to recommend measures to prevent such incidents.

Poonch Attack: Local ‘Imam’ Among Seven Arrested So Far

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Expanding the scope of the investigation into the Poonch attack, the Special Operations Group (SOG) of the Jammu and Kashmir Police on Saturday detained a religious leader (Moulvi) from Jammu’s Bathindi area for allegedly having links with the militants involved in the recent attack. Although security forces are tight-lipped on the incident and restricted from sharing news with the media, reliable sources informed the news agency KNO that during the interrogation and questioning of detainees, the name of a Poonch-based Moulvi surfaced, allegedly having links across the border.
“A team of SOG detained Moulvi Manzoor from the Madrassa, Markaz-ul-Maarif in Bathindi on suspicion of having links with the Poonch attack,” sources said, adding that the accused is a teacher in the Madrassa and hails from the Poonch district. The fresh raid in Jammu took place a day after Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police (DGP) Dilbagh Singh claimed that the terror plot had been uncovered and six locals had been arrested for sheltering the militants.
Earlier, on April 20, militants ambushed an army vehicle in which five soldiers were killed, and one was left injured. The soldiers were from a Rashtriya Rifles unit deployed for counter-terror operations.
According to DGP Singh, the explosives and weapons came from Pakistan through drones. Singh said that the police had so far questioned more than 200 people, and the operation to neutralize the involved in the attack is underway. “Six persons (of a module) have been arrested. They include those who have provided material (weapons, ammunition, explosives) to the militants besides shelter and food and guided them from one to another place,” Singh told reporters during a visit to Rajouri district. He also claimed that there are 10 to 12 such elements operating in the area.
Earlier, Army’s Northern Commander Lt. Gen. Upendra Dwivedi also visited the attack site and said that necessary action is underway against the militants responsible for the deadly attack on an army truck in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district that left five soldiers dead.
Meanwhile, a massive search operation to track down the militants is underway in Bhata Dhurian following the ambush. (KNO)

International drug cartel busted in Goa, Olympic medallist among 3 held

[ad_1]
Mumbai: The Narcotics Control Bureau has busted an international drug cartel in Goa and arrested two Russians – a 1980 Olympic silver medallist woman swimmer and a former policeman – along with an Indian, and seized various drugs including cocaine and charas, an official said on Saturday.
The operation was conducted by the NCB’s Goa unit over the past two weeks, he said.
“Based on a tip-off that a Russian drug cartel was actively operating in Arambol and its adjoining areas in Goa, a probe was launched. As per the intelligence inputs, a Russian woman named S Varganova was found involved in the supply of drugs to foreign nationals. During the investigation, we also received information that led to the identification of a local man named Akash,” the NCB official said.

“During further probe, it was learnt that Akash was part of a larger network and he was working on the directions of a Russian person, who acted as the kingpin of the cartel,” he said.
Immediately after that, Akash was put under discreet surveillance. After extensive intelligence-based operations, a Russian national named Andre was apprehended and 20 LSD blots were seized from him.
Andre revealed that he was growing hydroponic weed at his local residence, the anti-drug agency said.
Thereafter, tree pots of hydroponic weed plants were recovered from his house, the official said.
During the entire operation, different kinds of drugs, including 88 LSD blots, 8.8 grams cocaine, 242.5 grams charas, 1.440 kg hydroponic weed, 16.49 grams hash oil, 410 grams hash cake – were seized along with Rs 4.88 lakh cash, he said, adding that the NCB also recovered Indian and foreign currencies, fake documents, IDs and material required to grow hydroponic weed.
“The arrested Russian woman, S Varganova, is a 1980 Olympic silver medallist in swimming, while Andre is a former policeman from Russia. The latter has been operating a drug cartel in Goa for a long time. He had visited many cities to spread his network and had been managing the well-spread network of street peddlers,” the NCB said.

Along with the Russian nationals, local citizen Akash has also been arrested, the official said, adding that further investigation was on.
Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said in Panaji the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) of Goa Police has been cracking down on the illegal drug trade in the state.
He said various agencies in the state are trying to uproot the illegal drug trade and they are working in coordination.
“In the last four years, main drug paddlers have been arrested by ANC,” Sawant told reporters.

UP: Atiq Ahmad’s 2 jailed sons among 6 booked for attempt to murder, extortion

[ad_1]
Prayagraj: Police here have filed a fresh FIR against gangster-politician Atiq Ahmad’s two sons Umar and Ali, who are currently in jail, and four others on charges of attempt to murder and extortion.
The FIR was registered at Khuldabad police station on the basis of a complaint lodged by a builder, Mohammad Muslim, police officials said.
Atiq and his brother Ashraf, both of whom were booked in the Umesh Pal murder case, were shot dead here on April 15 by three men posing as journalists while they were being escorted by police personnel to a hospital for a checkup.

Mohammad, a resident of Chakia, started working as a builder in 2006. Atiq, his brother Ashraf and their henchmen encroached on his land and demanded money from him, according to the FIR.
Fearing Atiq, Mohammad left Prayagraj and went to Lucknow. However, Atiq’s henchmen kept threatening him, the officials said.
Mohammad owns land in Devghat village which is worth about Rs 15 crore. Atiq’s aide Asad Kalia visited Lucknow several times and threatened Mohammad to force him to transfer his land in the name of Ali and Umar Ahmad, they said.
A few years ago, Mohammad was surrounded, forced into a car and taken to Atiq’s office, where he was locked in a room and beaten up, they added.
On the basis of Mohammad’s complaint, an FIR under sections 307 (attempt to murder) and 386 (extortion), among others, of the Indian Penal Code has been registered against Umar and Ali Ahmad, Asad Kalia, Ehtesham Karim, Ajay and Mohd Nasrat, the officials said.

While Umar is lodged in Lucknow jail, Ali is lodged in Naini jail.
Atiq’s third son, Asad, who was also named in the Umesh Pal murder case, was gunned down in a police encounter on April 13.

Trump lawyers: Notes for calls with foreign leaders are among classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago

[ad_1]

POLITICO obtained a copy of the letter sent to House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio). Tim Parlatore, one of the letter’s signatories, told POLITICO that it was also sent to House Intel Democrats and to Republicans and Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee. The letter was first reported by CNN.
“Please know that despite the differences in the cases, we do not believe that any of these three matters should be handled by DOJ as a criminal case,” Trump’s lawyers wrote. “Rather, the stakeholders to these matters should set aside political differences and work together to remediate this issue and help to enhance our national security in the process.”
The letter said two of Trump’s lawyers, Parlatore and Jim Trusty, reviewed 15 boxes of documents that were taken to Mar-a-Lago after Trump left the White House and then later sent to the National Archives.
“Following its review of the materials, NARA inserted placeholder pages where it had removed documents with classification markings,” reads the letter, signed by Parlatore, Trusty, John Rowley and Lindsey Halligan. “That allowed Messrs. Parlatore and Trusty to discern what the documents were, as well as what other materials in the boxes were in the proximity of the marked documents when the White House staff packed them. The vast majority of the placeholder inserts refer to briefings for phone calls with foreign leaders that were located near the schedule for those calls.”
The appearance of documents marked classified at Mar-a-Lago, the lawyers continue, was “the result of haphazard records keeping and packing by White House staff and GSA.”

Smuggled gold worth Rs 10 cr seized at Mumbai airport; 18 Sudanese among 19 held

[ad_1]
Mumbai: The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) busted a gold smuggling racket and arrested 18 Sudanese women as well as an Indian woman with 16.36 kg of the yellow metal in paste form valued at Rs 10.16 crore at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport here, an official said on Tuesday.
In a follow up search at related premises 1.42 kg of gold valued approximately at Rs 85 lakh along with foreign currency worth Rs 16 lakh and Indian notes of Rs 88 lakh were also recovered, he said.
Based on specific intelligence that gold in paste form is going to be smuggled into India by a syndicate of passengers travelling from the UAE to Mumbai on Monday, DRI officials mounted a surveillance at the city airport, the official said.

Passengers suspected to be part of the syndicate travelling in three flights were identified and intercepted by a team of the DRI at the airport, he said.
During their search, the DRI recovered 16.36 kg of gold in paste form, gold cut pieces and jewellery, collectively valued at Rs 10.16 crore, said the official.
Eighteen women from Sudan carrying the smuggled gold and an Indian woman who was coordinating the movement of the passengers were arrested, he said.
Most of the recovered gold was found concealed on the body of the suspect passengers, making it extremely difficult to detect the precious metal, said the official, adding further probe was underway.

Indians among 60 delivery drivers held for working illegally in UK

[ad_1]
London: As part of a week-long crackdown on illegal migration, 60 delivery drivers, including Indians, have been arrested across London for working illegally, the UK Home Office said.
The drivers, working for companies including Deliveroo, JustEat, and UberEats, were arrested for offences, including illegal working and possession of false documentation.
The majority of offenders were of Brazilian nationality. Indian and Algerian nationals were also found to be working without the right to do so in the country, a UK Home Office statement read.

Of those arrested, 44 were detained by the Home Office, pending their removal from the UK, with the remaining 16 being released on immigration bail. It is also expected that a number of the arrests will result in voluntary departure from the UK.
“Illegal working damages our communities, cheats honest workers out of employment and defrauds the public purse. As the Prime Minister has set out, we are committed to going further and faster to prevent the abuse of our laws and borders,” Britain’s Indian-origin Home Secretary Suella Braverman said in a statement.
“The British public deserve a labour market that is fair and honest and must have confidence that goods and services they buy are from legitimate businesses,” she added.
The operation also led to the seizure of weapons and cash suspected of being linked to criminal activity. Following thorough searches of properties linked to the arrests, imitation firearms and other weapons were found, while over 4,500 pounds was seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act, the Home Office statement said.
Immigration Enforcement carried out extensive intelligence-gathering ahead of the operation, to identify hotspots for illegal moped delivery drivers. Alongside relevant police forces, the Home Office deployed officers on six consecutive days (16 to 21 April), to make the arrests and detentions.

Indians are among the second-largest group of migrants crossing the English Channel illegally on small boats, with 675 recorded between January and March this year, according to recent statistics released by the UK Home Office.
The UK government said is clamping down on illegal working to ensure all companies and workers are contributing to the UK economy by complying with its tax and other regulations.
More widely, it can also be a pull factor for illegal migration, often trapping vulnerable people in poor conditions and exploitation while undermining the UK’s labour market. Employers in the UK can be jailed for five years and could pay an unlimited fine if they are found guilty of employing someone they knew or had ‘reasonable cause to believe’ did not have the right to work in the UK.
