  • BJP leader arrested in Amethi for selling land to police on forged documents

    BJP leader arrested in Amethi for selling land to police on forged documents

    [ad_1]

    Amethi: A local BJP leader has been arrested here on Tuesday for allegedly selling a piece of land to police for the construction of the Police Lines for Rs 2 crore with the help of forged documents, while he had already taken a loan of Rs 78 lakh against it.

    Superintendent of Police (SP) Elamaran G. said that BJP leader Om Prakash alias Prakash Mishra had committed forgery and a case had been registered against him.

    The SP also said the accused had taken a loan from the Bank of India by mortgaging his land. However, through forged documents, he sold the land for the construction of Police Lines. The land is located in Chauhanpur village under Sadar tehsil in Amethi’s Gauriganj.

    On July 27, 2017, Mishra had executed a sale deed of 0.253 square metre land. Before selling the land, he had taken a loan of Rs 78 lakh from the bank by mortgaging the land.

    After executing the sale deed, the BJP leader received a payment of Rs 1.97 crore from the Amethi police.

    During the registry, Prakash did not give any information on whether there was any loan or outstanding dues against it.

    In January this year, the recovery officer at the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Allahabad (Prayagraj) had sent a recovery notice, following which the matter came to light.

    Based on the complaint lodged by the Reserve Inspector at Police Lines, Amethi, a case has been registered against Mishra.

    The case has been registered under sections 409 (criminal breach of trust), 419 (cheating by personation), 420 (cheating), 467 (forgery of valuable security, will, etc.), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating) and 471 (using as genuine a forged document or electronic record) of the Indian Penal Code.

    Amethi district’s BJP chief Durgesh Tripathi said that Mishra is a party worker and a case has been registered against him.

    He said the law will take its own course, and if found guilty, action will be initiated against Mishra.

  • You have 24-hr ultimatum, release arrested Sikhs: Akal Takht Jathedar to Punjab govt

    You have 24-hr ultimatum, release arrested Sikhs: Akal Takht Jathedar to Punjab govt

    [ad_1]

    Amritsar: Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh on Monday gave a 24-hour ultimatum to the state government to release all Sikh youths who were held during the police crackdown against radical preacher Amritpal Singh and his aides.

    He also condemned the state government for invoking the National Security Act against a few persons during the police crackdown.

    The Jathedar of Akal Takht, the highest temporal seat of Sikhs, had convened a special gathering of Sikh organizations, including intellectuals, Sikh lawyers, journalists, religious and social leaders here to discuss the current situation in Punjab following the March 18 action against elements of ‘Waris Punjab De’ headed by Amritpal Singh.

    Addressing the gathering, the Jathedar gave a 24-hour ultimatum to the Punjab government for releasing all Sikh youths in Punjab, saying otherwise the anger of Sikh community would remain simmering.

    He also attacked certain TV channels, accusing them of promoting hate propaganda against Sikhs by describing the youths who have been held as separatists.

    The Jathedar asked the state government to revoke the detention of some persons under the NSA and demanded that those who have been sent to Dibrugarh jail in Assam should be brought back to Punjab so that law can take its own course.

    He said it would be wrong to say that there was a threat to national security due to the Sikhs who have been detained.

    Without naming anyone, Singh said the NSA should also then be invoked against those who speak about ‘Hindu Rashtra.’

    The Jathedar said it would extend all help to those “innocent Sikhs” who have been held in this matter.

    The Jatehdar claimed around 400 Sikh youths had been “arrested” and 198 had been released.

    But the Sikh community wanted release of all arrested Sikhs, he said.

    He also asked the police to release the impounded vehicles of the Sikhs.

    Punjab Police on Sunday had said it has released 197 persons out of total 353 taken into preventive custody on apprehension of breach of peace and disturbance of law and order.

    The police had last week launched a crackdown against elements of ‘Waris Punjab De,’ headed Amritpal.

    The elusive preacher himself, however, gave the police a slip and escaped their dragnet when his cavalcade was intercepted in Jalandhar district.

  • Andhra official’s murder: Colleague, two others arrested

    Andhra official’s murder: Colleague, two others arrested

    [ad_1]

    Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Police on Monday claimed to have cracked the mystery behind the murder of an Animal Husbandry Department official in Kadapa district with the arrest of three men, including an employee in the same department.

    The body of Kadapa Animal Husbandry Deputy Director Chinna Acchanna, 58, was found at Guvvalacheruvu Ghat in Ramapuram Mandal of Annamayya district on March 24, about 12 days after he went missing.

    The murder of a Dalit official in the Chief Minister’s home district had triggered a row with opposition parties and some Dalit groups staging protests.

    A special panel of Kadapa and Annamayya district police cracked the case.

    Kadapa’s Superintendent of Police K.K.N. Anburajan on Monday told reporters that Subhash Chandrabose, working in the same department as assistant surgeon, committed the crime with the help of two others.

    According to police, Chandrabose had differences with Acchanna over some departmental issues and had developed a grouse after the latter had removed him from the Comprehensive Financial Management System (CFMC), stopped his salary, and later surrendered his post to the government.

    Police also arrested Chenna Krishna and Balaji Nayak in the murder case.

    The SP revealed that Chandrabose, along with two others, hatched the murder plot at a lodge in Porumamilla.

    On March 12, when Acchanna was returning from prayers at a church, the accused kidnapped him and took him to Guvvalacheruvu Ghat in a car. They later murdered him near the Ghat. The assailants threw Acchanna’s mobile phone on a hill at another place.

    The SP said the police cracked the case with the help of phone call data of the accused. The police investigations were on to know if any other person is involved.

    The murder of the Dalit officials had sparked outrage.

    Leaders of the Left parties, Jana Sena, Lok Satta and BSP and BC leaders had staged a protest in front of the Animal Husbandry Department office demanding authorities to speed up the enquiry and set up a committee headed by a sitting judge.

    They alleged that the apathy of authorities led to the death of the Dalit employee. They further alleged that although Acchanna’s son complained to the police on March 12, the police didn’t take any action.

    On March 12, Achanna’s son Klinter Chakraborty filed a complaint with the Kadapa One Town Police. He had also named a few colleagues of Acchanna for harassing him and passing casteist remarks.

    Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS) leader Manda Krishna Madiga demanded a probe by a sitting judge. He alleged that police took no action on the complaint by Achanna’s family for 12 days. He said the police booked a case only after his body was found. He warned that if any attempt was made to shield the culprit, MPRS will launch a state-wide protest.

    Chhattisgarh: Woman made to walk on burning coal, three arrested

    [ad_1]

    Durg: A woman was allegedly made to walk on burning coal and iron nails by her husband’s relatives to prove that she did not practice black magic in Chhattisgarh’s Durg town, police said on Saturday.

    The woman, who sustained burns on her legs, was hospitalised after the incident that took place in Kailash Nagar area of the town on March 20, an official said.

    The police have arrested two women and a man, and detained a minor boy, who claimed to be a tantrik, he said.

    Talking to PTI, the victim, Mamta Nishad, a resident of Karidih locality here, claimed that her husband’s younger brother, his wife and her elder sister-in-law used to harass her by accusing her of being involved in witchcraft.

    On the night of March 20, when her husband was away, the trio allegedly took her to a tantrik in Kailash Nagar and asked her to prove that she did not indulge in black magic, she alleged.

    The victim claimed that the tantrik had made her walk 12 times on burning coal and nine times on a bed of iron nails. The victim informed her husband about the ordeal, following which a police complaint was lodged.
