Time of India4 days ago
Hyderabad: The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) has filed a prosecution complaint against Al Kabeer Exports and its director under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) on Aug 5, as acknowledged by the special PMLA court in Hyderabad.
The ED initiated the investigation following a complaint by the Telangana State Pollution Control Board (TSPCB) before the court of Special Mobile Judicial First Class Magistrate in Sangareddy.
According to the complaint, Al Kabeer Exports, which processes frozen buffalo meat, failed to comply with TSPCB norms for classifying and disposing of solid waste generated during animal slaughter. The company was accused of violating Sections 24 and 43 of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act by not adhering to the proper treatment protocols for solid waste.

Further investigation revealed that Al Kabeer Exports did not comply with statutory requirements for treating hazardous solid meat waste at their premises. Instead, the company disposed of the hazardous waste in open areas, resulting in pollution of the surrounding surface and groundwater.
Additionally, the ED discovered that the company generated proceeds of crime amounting to Rs 61 lakh. Rather than using this amount for treating hazardous waste, the company and its director diverted the funds for other purposes.
Earlier, the ED had attached movable property, specifically a fixed deposit of Rs 61 lakh, belonging to Al Kabeer Exports.

Four hardcore Maoists surrender in Chhattisgarh's Gariaband district

In a major success for anti-LWE operations in central India, four notorious Maoists surrendered before security forces in Gariaband district, marking a significant setback for the insurgent network active in the region. Among those who laid down arms was Deepak a.k.a. Bhima Mandavi, a divisional committee member (DVCM) with a reward of Rs 8 lakh. The total bounty on the surrendered cadres stood at Rs 19 lakh, senior police officials said. The other three included Kailash a.k.a. Bhima Bhogam, a member of the Protection Team; Ranita a.k.a. Paiki, an Area Committee member; and Sujita a.k.a. Uren Karam. With rewards ranging from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 5 lakh, all four had been active in the Dhamtari-Gariaband-Nuapada Division since 2013. Acting on Intelligence shared by the surrendered Maoists, security forces recovered Rs 16 lakh in cash from suspected hideouts. The operation also yielded 31 live cartridges, two empty magazines, detonators, eight BGL rounds, 12 bore ammunition, and a trove of Maoist literature believed to be used for indoctrination and recruitment. Their surrender is being seen as a strategic breakthrough, especially in the wake of recent setbacks suffered by the Maoists organisation, said the officials. Based on information provided by the surrendered cadres, security forces recovered Rs 16 lakh in cash, 31 live cartridges, two empty magazines, eight BGL rounds, detonators, 12 bore ammunition, and a cache of Maoist literature. Officials believe the cash was part of the group's operational funding, hidden in forested hideouts to support logistics and recruitment. The development comes months after a high-impact offensive in January 2025, when 16 Maoists — including Central Committee member Jairam alias Chalpathi—were killed in a joint operation near the Chhattisgarh-Odisha border. That operation, backed by drone surveillance and coordinated intelligence, has since triggered a visible breakdown in the Maoist command structure. Raipur Range IG Amarendra Mishra and IG Naxal Operations Ankit Garg, confirmed that the organisation is facing a deepening crisis. The financial and leadership vacuum has accelerated the pace of surrenders. Cadres are demoralised and increasingly choosing to abandon the movement, Mishra said. Security agencies believe the cumulative impact of leadership losses, financial disruption, and sustained pressure is pushing more Maoists toward surrender. With each defection, the operational grip of the insurgents continues to loosen—offering a measure of relief to communities long caught in the crossfire. The latest surrender not only weakens the Maoist infrastructure but also signals a shift in morale, suggesting that the state's strategy of coordinated action and rehabilitation is beginning to yield results.

Digital trail under scanner after Dharmavaram man's arrest for extremist links, says SP

Confirming Saturday's arrest in Dharmavaram town of Sri Sathya Sai district, Superintendent of Police V. Ratna on Sunday (August 17) briefed the media here, attesting that 42-year-old Kotwal Noor Mohammad, residing in the town for 15 years, was actively connected to the Pakistan-backed social media groups, circulating jihadi propaganda. The SP, along with Deputy SP (Dharmavaram) U. Narasingappa, disclosed that Noor Mohammad was initially thought to be a passive member, but he turned out to be an active participant in discussions intended to glorify extremist ideology. She said that the police seized the accused's mobile phone and some literature linked to the jihadi campaign in Saturday's predawn raid. 'This Dharmavaram incident is a clear proof as to how social media platforms are being mishandled and misused to negatively impact youth and gullible minds at the local level by the terrorist groups,' the SP said. Although Noor Mohammad was held on Saturday (August 16), the real investigation 'has begun now,' Ms. Ratna said, adding that the seized mobile had been sent to forensic laboratories to unravel his 'digital footprint' to map his network. She did not rule out the possibility that the accused might have acted as a recruiter or sympathiser beyond the Sri Sathya Sai district. The SP said that the case was booked under the stringent sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. Immediately after the arrest, Noor Mohammad was produced before the Kadiri court in the district and was shifted to the Kadapa Central Prison on a 14-day remand. 'We are waiting for the forensic revelations which will expose the depth of his involvement in the cross-border terrorism activities,' the SP said.

Fake credit limit call centre busted in Delhi, 6 held in Rs 85 lakh cyber fraud

The police recently busted an illegal call centre masquerading as a credit limit extension service, leading to the arrest of six cyber fraudsters in Delhi, Haryana, and Telangana. The operation exposed a network that allegedly duped citizens of nearly Rs 85 lakh by siphoning money from their credit cards and bank accounts. The case came to light after a Dwarka resident, Virender Kumar, 42, lodged a complaint in June, stating that he had received a call regarding the generation of a PIN for his newly issued private bank credit card. Soon after, he discovered an unauthorised transaction of Rs 2.81 lakh. A case was promptly registered, and investigators began tracing the money trail. Technical surveillance revealed that calls to victims originated from Vikaspuri, while mule bank accounts and SIM cards were being managed from Panipat, Bhatinda, and Hyderabad, said the police. Raids were carried out simultaneously in Delhi and Telangana, leading to the arrest of six men identified as Vijay Kumar Sharma, the alleged kingpin, Moolchand Mishra, Gaurav, Hemant, Amit, and Pradeep Sahu. Vijay Sharma, the police said, ran the fake call centre with the help of four women employees who initially contacted potential victims before handing over calls to him. The police said Vijay Sharma, 46, is a commerce graduate with an LLB degree and software training, while others had relatively modest educational backgrounds, ranging from primary school to Class 12. From their possession, 41 mobile phones, a laptop, a router, and diaries containing bank customer data were seized. Investigators said 95 complaints linked to the seized phones were found on the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal, collectively reflecting a fraud of approximately Rs 85 lakh. The team cracked the case by analysing IP addresses, IMEI numbers, UPI transactions, telecom trails, and banking details, said the police.
