AP: Anakapalli DSP caught using car seized in a Ganja smuggling case

[ad_1]
Anakapalli Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) B. Sunil was reportedly found using a car, which was seized in a Ganja smuggling case, for his personal use.
The incident came to light when the officer travelling in the car along with members of his family met with an accident in Visakhapatnam.
The videos of the DSP on the four-wheeler soon went viral on Sunday followed by several TDP leaders from Anakapalli and Visakhapatnam districts criticising the police officer for his action.
The car was seized by the Kasimkota police in July last year after the peddlers sped away leaving the car in the Mandal in the Anakapalle district.
Later, the accused asked the police to hand over the car to his mother.
However, his mother had left for Rajasthan by the time the police shifted the car to Anakapalle rural police station.
Since then, the police have been reportedly using the seized car as no case was registered nor complaint launched by any.
Also, the number plate of the car was reportedly changed and given to the DSP to go to a hospital in Visakhapatnam to meet one of his family members, who was undergoing treatment.

Police have sought the details and initiated a probe into the matter.

Over 370 Indian passports seized for breaching Yemen travel ban

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Union Minister of State for External Affairs, V. Muraleedharan, told the Lok Sabha on Friday that the government has seized a total of 372 passports of those who have travelled to Yemen over the past few years, violating a travel ban to the contry.
The minister’s response came while responding to questions raised by IUML MP E.T. Mohammed Basheer, who sought to know if the government has noticed that a large number of passports have been seized by the immigration department for travel to Yemen and other banned countries.
India has banned travel to Yemen since 2017. In 2016, Father Tom Uzhunnalil, a Kerala state priest, was kidnapped by terrorists from Aden, which triggered a travel ban.
Muraleedharan said that 372 passports have been seized from across the country, out of which 102 have been released.
However, seizure/release of passports is a continuous process and the data keeps changing.
“The seized passports are liable to be impounded or revoked under Section 10(3) of the Passports Act, 1967 and the holder of the passport is liable to be refused a passport under Section 6 of the said Act for a period of seven years from the date of revocation of such passport,” stated the minister’s reply.
Basheer had also sought details on the steps taken by the government to penalise and return the passports since most of the people working abroad belong to the poor/weaker sections of the society.
Muraleedharan also said that a provision to permit Indian nationals to visit Yemen for specific and essential reasons has also been made wherein prior approval of the Ministry of External Affairs is required to be obtained.

The maximum number of passports seized was from Kerala — 241. The least was seized from Chattisgarh, Odisha and Goa — one each.
Two passports were seized from Andhra Pradesh and Telengana.
Others states in the list are Bihar, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.

‘Perfume Bomb’, Yes, JKP Says They Seized One, First Time

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Police Chief, Dilbagh Singh has stated that the police have recovered a perfume bomb. It is for the first time that such an explosive is said to have been seized during more than 30 years of counter-insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir.

The bomb is said to have been recovered from a government school teacher, Arif, who is a resident of the Reasi district. The recovery occurred during the ongoing investigations into the twin blasts in Jammu’s Narwal locality on January 21. Nine civilians were injured in the explosion that took place amidst high alert owing to Bharat Jodo yatra’s entry into Jammu.
“This is the first time we have recovered a perfume IED,” DGP Singh told a press conference in Jammu. “We have not recovered any perfume IED before. The IED will blast if anyone tries to press or open it. Our special team will handle that IED.”
It is basically a bottle of perfume that has been converted into a bomb. It explodes when one attempts opening it.
“Arif is a government employee and is an active militant of Lashkar-e-Toiba outfit. He was working at the behest of Qasim, a Reasi resident and his uncle Qamardin, also a Reasi resident, presently in Pakistan, who are part of LeT,” the DGP said. He said Arif was involved in three IED blast incidents—Shahstri Nagar, Katra and January 21 incident of Narwal, Jammu.
“So far we had seen IED with explosive materials, sticky bombs and timer fitted IEDs but a new type of IED was recovered from Arif which is Perfume IED. This IED is in a bottle form and seems like a perfume bottle but contains explosive material,” the DGP said, adding that “since the IED is new to us, experts will see how harmful and how powerful it can be. We have not touched it so far.”
Singh said the arrest and recovery was part of the 11-days investigations in the Narwal case. “Arif was a very clever operative. He had burnt all the evidence be that his clothes, shoes and that he even set ablaze his mobile phone as well. But police worked hard on even small inputs and leads that led to the arrest of Arif,” Singh said, asserting a strong dossier is in making about his activities.
Police also claimed that Arif, during interrogation has admitted to his role in the attack on a bus carrying Vaishno Devi pilgrims in which four people were killed in May 2022. As many as 24 passengers were injured in that blast.
