Hyderabad: Cops arrest two for selling land using fake documents

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Rachakonda police detained two habitual offenders indulging in creating counterfeit documents to sell real estate.
The arrests were made as a part of an ongoing drive against routine offenders to ensure the safety and security of the general public.
The accused – Dadi Dharmender Reddy and Donthi Sathi Reddy – have been detained in the Cherlapally central jail under Preventive Detention (PD) Act.
According to the police, they operate by identifying open plots which were registered prior to 2002, collecting certified copies, and making counterfeit documents with the help of Shoukat Ali, a resident of SR Nagar.
They sold these lands to genuine customers by duping them with fake documents and paid actors posing as the land owners, police said.
Dharmender is involved in 18 cases registered under Keesara, Ghatkesar, Kushaiguda, Ibrahimpatnam, Hayathnagar, Sangareddy and Bibinagar police stations while Sathi was involved in four cases under Bibinagar police station.
The police alleged that there was no change in their attitudes despite taking legal action through several cases.
In April 2019, Dharmender and Sathi identified two plots belonging to K B Khurana and Anil Khurana, created counterfeit documents and obtained an Agreement of sale-cum General Power of Attorney (AGPA) on the name of Chakali Ramu s/o Late Mallikarjuna.

Further, they divided the two plots into five parts and sold them to individual purchasers for an amount of Rs 65,00,000.
When the original owners who are currently residing in Delhi visited their plots, they realised that they were sold illegally and reported the issue to Bibinagar police.
Bibinagar police in a joint operation with the Special Operations Team (SOT) of Malkajgiri zone arrested the accused and remanded them to judicial custody. The police seized Rs 7,00,000 cash, two cars, and a few cell phones.

Modi a contender for Peace Prize? ‘Fake news’, says Nobel committee member

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Following several reports stating that Primi Minister Narendra Modi was the frontrunner for the Nobel Peace Prize, Deputy leader of the Norwegian Nobel committee Asle Toje on Thursday rubbished all claims.
Earlier on Thursday, an ‘exclusive’ report by Times Now claimed that Toje had termed PM Modi as the biggest contender for the Nobel Peace Prize which was then reported by several media outlets. However, the same evening, Toje in a video interview made it clear that he categorically made no such statement.
“It’s fake. Let’s not give it energy or oxygen. I categorically deny that I said anything resembling,” what is being reported, said Asle Toje clarifying he said nothing resembling what was being reported.
In the interview with Times Now, Toje appreciating the court had stated, “India’s intervention to remind Russia of the consequences of using Nuclear weapons was very helpful…We need more of that in International politics”.
“PM Modi has intervened on a positive note in the Ukraine crisis, warning Russia against using Nuclear weapons. I think any responsible leader in the world should give this message. It is all the more important when it comes from an important country like India,” he said while appreciating the Prime Minister.
He said that Modi, who has been India’s prime minister for almost nine years now, is an elder statesman in world politics. “It is interesting to see that India has, in record time, gone from being a developing country to becoming one of the primary economies of this world,” he added.
Toje said, “When India speaks, it tends to be with a friendly voice and without threat”.

Lulu group chairman Yusuffali dismisses reports of ED summons, calls them fake

[ad_1]
Dubai: Lulu Group Chairman Yusuffali M A on Tuesday dismissed reports of being summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the LIFE Mission case and termed them as fake.
He stated that the group would not give in to any “misinformation campaign” and may take legal action against those who spread such rumors against the group and himself.
His name came to the fore after the chat messages between Swapna Suresh and M.Sivasankar, the now jailed former principal secretary to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, got out.
Lulu Group Chairman Yusuffali says his firm is a structural company
On Wednesday, he said that his firm is a structural company having thousands of employees.
In a press meeting held in Dubai, Yusuffali said, “Just ask the people who report that I got the summons and clear it. Mine is a structural company employing 65000 people. 310 crore rupees are paid as monthly salary outside India, and 25 crore rupees inside India. We have no problem with anyone saying anything. I have been in the Gulf for 50 years.”
“We have to live under the rule of law. Will proceed accordingly. Yusuff Ali is not one to run away in fear when there are problems. I will not be afraid even if some social media people accuse me day and night. I will not back down from the cause of the poor and from my business. Lulu’s legal department will look into it if legal action is required,” Yusuffali said while speaking to the media in Dubai.
Life Mission
The bribery case pertains to Vijayan’s pet project — Life Mission flat project for the weaker sections of the society.
The Wadakkanchery project in Trissur district is mired in controversy, and the work has come to a standstill after the bribery case surfaced.

The funds for the project came from a UAE-based charity organisation — Red Crescent — and Swapna had alleged that a huge commission money had changed hands in the project. She made the allegations after the builder of the project — Santhosh Eapen — was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate.
Lulu Group Chairman Yusuffali’s name figured after it surfaced that he was also a part of the discussion about the project.

Stalin takes veiled swipe at BJP over fake news on migrant workers

[ad_1]
Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Tuesday took a veiled swipe at the BJP by saying that ‘some political forces’ utilise technology for spreading rumours and cause deterioration of law and order.
In his address, inaugurating the 50th edition of ‘Bridge (Building human capital for a trillion dollar digital economy)’ conference, an initiative of the ICT Academy Stalin said all steps are being taken by the State government to take Tamil Nadu to the numero uno spot in the country in Information Technology sector.
Technology has two sides to it and the objective for which it is used decides its usefulness. “The younger generation should use technology for their growth and must not become its slaves. Crimes, involving use of technology for duping people are more,” he said. “Some political forces utilise it for spreading rumours and spoil law and order,” he said without naming anyone.
Recently, fake information was spread in social media that migrant workers were attacked in Tamil Nadu leading to unrest among labour force belonging to States including Bihar. The government had to reach out to workers to calm them that the claims were false and cases were registered by police including one against a Hindi daily and a BJP spokesperson as well.
The CM further said, “obscene websites are also on the rise and human lives are becoming fatalities in online card game Rummy.” Hence, the youth should grow in thier lives by using technology in the right manner and work for the nation’s development.
The Raj Bhavan had on Wednesday returned a Bill banning online Rummy to the Tamil Nadu Assembly for reconsideration.
Stalin said Tamil Nadu is a pioneer in successfully implementing National e-Governance Plan and State government e-Governance initiatives.
Underscoring various government initiatives during 1996-2001, when late DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi was the Chief Minister, including coming up with a IT policy in 1997, he said such pioneering initiatives is behind the achievements the State has made in the field.

His government, working on the social justice-led Dravidian model of governance is continuing such work.
Due to such efforts including e-office, people could soon avail ‘paperless, transparent services.’ Data is the new digital era fuel and TN government has unveiled its Data centre policy fulfilling the first objective of facilitating building of related infrastructure. To address ‘skills gap,’ the government has ensured appropriate learning modules for 50,000 IT/computer students.
The Information Technology sector should grow and it should be nurtured to see that in Tamil Nadu it is developed better than other States in the country.
According to the ICT Academy, the Bridge conference aims at bridging the industry academia gap.
“Bridge is a platform for all the stakeholders to discuss improving the industry-institute interaction primarily on the key issues that includes the role of technology, innovation, applied research, entrepreneurship, future virtual world, curriculum change, industry expectations, skill development etc.”
It is an opportunity for both industrialists and academicians to share their thoughts, ideas and ways for preparing academic campuses to “deliver high value industry relevant output.”
Ministers including T Mano Thangaraj (IT), J Jeyaranjan, Vice-chairman, State Planning Commission, top officials, technologists, Hari Balachandran, CEO of ICT Academy of TN participated.

TMC’s Moitra targets BJP MP Nishikant Dubey for ‘fake MBA’

[ad_1]
TMC MP Mahua Moitra on Friday asked Lok Sabha MP Om Birla if lying on the election affidavit and faking an MBA degree along with getting a ‘dodgy Phd’ are grounds for termination of Lok Sabha membership.
She was targetting BJP MP Nishikant Dubey for seeking the termination of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s membership from Lok Sabha while deposing before a parliamentary panel for the former’s remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the discussion on the Adani-Hindenburg row.
“Oh just btw isn’t lying on affidavit & faking an MBA degree from DU’s FMS & then getting a dodgy PhD also grounds for termination of Lok Sabha membership? Privilege committee, are you listening @ombirlakota?” she tweeted.
Oh just btw isn’t lying on affidavit & faking an MBA degree from DU’s FMS & then getting a dodgy PhD also grounds for termination of Lok Sabha membership?
Privilege committee, are you listening @ombirlakota ?
— Mahua Moitra (@MahuaMoitra) March 10, 2023
A public interest litigation (PIL) was filed in 2020 in the Jharkhand High Court alleging that BJP MP Nishikant Dubey had submitted a fake degree to the Election Commission of India in his election nomination papers.
The PIL, filed by one Danyaal Danish, sought directions for an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and a high-level enquiry by the ECI.
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Friday sought termination of Rahul Gandhi’s membership from Lok Sabha while deposing before a parliamentary panel over his privilege notice against the Congress leader.
Following Gandhi’s speech in the first part of the Budget Session, in which he commented on the Hindenburg-Adani issue, Dubey moved the privilege notice against him on February 7.
Presenting his case before Lok Sabha’s privilege committee chaired by BJP MP Sunil Singh, Dubey said despite Gandhi’s remarks expunged by Lok Sabha Speaker, they are still available on his and Congress official YouTube channels.

“Not only one but three types of privilege apply to him, and he is habitual offender and therefore his membership should be terminated,” a source quoting Dubey said.
Dubey also presented documents and reports to substantiate his point that all allegations made by Gandhi are baseless.
He cited expulsion of Subramanian Swamy 1976 from Rajya Sabha to buttress his demand for Gandhi’s termination.
Dubey also said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is Lok Sabha member and leader of House and without notice one cannot make allegations against him.

Another FIR registered by Bihar Police for ‘fake’ videos of attacks on migrants in TN

[ad_1]
Patna: Days after the arrest of a man for allegedly sharing “fake” videos of attacks on migrants in Tamil Nadu on social media, the Bihar Police on Friday registered a fresh FIR against four persons as part of its probe into the case.
The Economic Offences Unit (EOU) of the state police filed the FIR against Youtuber Manish Kashyap, Yuvraj Singh and two others “on the charges of indulging in spreading fake videos of migrants being killed and beaten up in Tamil Nadu on social media”, a senior officer said.
“Despite repeated summons by investigators, both Manish Kashyap and Yuvraj Singh did not turn up before the EOU sleuths. They are absconding. Now the EOU has initiated a process to arrest them,” Bihar Police (Headquarters) Additional Director General JS Gangwar told reporters here on Friday.
The EOU had on March 6 registered its first FIR in connection with the case and booked four persons.
Those named in the case are Aman Kumar, Rakesh Tiwary, Yuvraj Singh Rajput and Manish Kashyap.
It had already arrested Kumar from Jamui in connection with its probe into the case.
“Investigations by the EOU have revealed that the accused were indulging in spreading fake videos of migrants being killed and beaten up in Tamil Nadu on social media. Thirty such videos were shared on social media, forcing migrant workers from Bihar to flee Tamil Nadu in panic”.
Notices have already been sent to social media service providers for “preserving 42 such videos for further investigation”, the ADG said.

“A 10-member team of the EOU is analysing these videos…and those posting and sharing such videos for spreading rumours will be dealt with strictly. The Tamil Nadu police have also registered 13 cases to probe the matter,” Gangwar said.
The Tamil Nadu administration has opened help desks for the people to lodge complaints against those who are indulging in such activities and also for those who need any assistance, he said.
The Bihar government had, last week, sent a four-member team to the southern state to coordinate with officers who were investigating the matter there.

Fake videos of attacks due to my call for oppn unity against BJP: Stalin

[ad_1]
Chennai: As various social media content of alleged attacks on migrant workers from Tamil Nadu have turned out to be fake, Chief Minister M K Stalin has alleged the “lies spread” regarding such assaults in the State was a fallout of his recent call for opposition unity to dislodge the ruling BJP at the Centre next year.
He blamed the saffron party functionaries for doing so.
A Facebook user shared a video of an overcrowded passenger train claiming that migrants from Bihar were returning to their home state in large numbers from Tamil Nadu. In its investigation, the PTI Fact Check found that the train in the video posted on social media travels between Bihar’s capital city Patna and Barka Kana in Jharkhand.
It doesn’t travel from Tamil Nadu to Bihar, as the social media post claims. The unrelated video was shared on social media with a misleading claim.
A Facebook user shared a video which purportedly showed a train teeming with people. The text in the video reads Tamil Nadu to Bihar’, which implied that they were migrant workers from Bihar leaving the southern state.
Earlier too, a social media post showing purported clipping of a Hindi newspaper, claiming it reported the alleged killing of the Hindi-speaking migrant labourers in Tamil Nadu turned out to be fake following an investigation by the PTI Fact Check Desk.
Stalin, in his “Ungalil Oruvan” question and answer series, asserted no migrant worker in the State has been assaulted as alleged.
Many such workers were employed in Tamil Nadu for a long time and never have they faced any issues, the chief of the ruling DMK said.

“Some have been preparing fake videos and spreading lies. The BJP functionaries in north India have done this with an agenda. You will understand the conspiracy behind doing so, if you notice that such lies were spread the very next day I highlighted the need for political organisations opposed to the BJP joining hands at the national level,” he said.
At his birthday rally here on March 1, attended by leaders including Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Stalin had stressed for opposition unity to defeat the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
The Chief Minister said that soon after he received information about the alleged attacks, he enquired if the migrant workers were targeted anywhere in the State and it emerged that it was not the case.
“I have informed Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar that not even a small irritation has been caused (to the workers),” he said, adding the official delegation from that state which had visited TN over the issue has returned with ‘satisfaction.’

Police bust fake call centre near Kolkata, seize Rs 4 cr cash

[ad_1]
Kolkata: Following a surprise raid by the officers of the Bidhannagar Police Commiserate on Wednesday evening, unaccounted cash worth around Rs 4 crore was seized from a fake call centre in the Rajarhat-Newtown area on the outskirts of Kolkata.
A police officer said that the exact amount seized was a little over Rs 3.82 crore.
“Apart from the cash, gold and silver jewellery in substantial quantities as well as several high-end premium brand wrist watches were also recovered from the fake call centre. The valuation of the seized items is yet to be done,” the officer said.
Apart from that, four high-end premium vehicles were also seized from outside the call centre.
The police have arrested six persons in this connection, out of whom two are residents of Liluah in Howrah district, two are from Maharashtra and one from Gujarat. The police suspect that besides running the fake call centre, the arrested persons were also involved in illegal hawala transactions.
The officer said that through this call centre, these persons mainly targeted elderly citizens in different parts of the globe.
“We suspect that the arrested persons are part of an international forgery racket. We will interrogate them to collect information on their partners and masterminds in this illegal trade,” the officer said.
