B'deshi armed group under scanner of Mizoram Police
1 2 3 4 Aizawl: Senior police officials in Mizoram are reportedly taking a serious view of the alleged illegal activities of the Parbottya Chattagram Jana Samhati Samiti (PCJSS), a Bangladeshi armed group led by Jyotirindra Bodhipriyo Larma alias Santu Larma, in both Mizoram and Tripura. A senior police official said appropriate action will be taken against the Bangladesh-based Chakma outfit if its cadres are found venturing into Mizoram and indulging in illegal activities, as they have reportedly done in the past. Hundreds of people, both tribals and non-tribals, on Wednesday protested at Nutan Bazaar in South Tripura, submitting a memorandum to their CM Manik Saha, demanding expulsion of members of the Bangladeshi armed group from India. According to the memorandum, the PCJSS (Santu faction) has been accused of spoiling the lives of youths in the northeast through drug trafficking, using India as a shelter after committing murders in Bangladesh, and also carrying out anti-India activities from Bangladesh. This includes the alleged formation of the Tripura United National Front (TUNF) and sheltering them in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHTs) of Bangladesh. In India, members of the PCJSS (Santu) group are allegedly involved in trafficking of arms, drugs (including Yaba tablets), Burmese cigarettes and cows, which protestors claim is "destroying the youths of Tripura and Mizoram." The memorandum detailed recent seizures linked to the outfit's activities. Last year on Dec 30, Tripura Police reportedly seized 2,720 Burmese cigarette packets worth Rs 9 lakh from Raishyabari in Dhalai district. Recently, on June 19, the Assam Rifles reportedly seized drugs worth Rs 10 crore from Lunglei town in Mizoram. Furthermore, on Feb 12, Mizoram Police reportedly confiscated a significant cache of weapons. On June 4, Tripura Police arrested 13 cadres of the group and subsequently deported them to Bangladesh. The protestors alleged that the PCJSS (Santu) has evolved into a "transnational trafficking gang."

Fruit seller held for strangling former custom officer after stealing UP pin, siphoning money
Jaipur: A 31-year-old fruit seller was arrested Thursday for strangling an 88-year-old retired custom officer after stealing his PhonePe PIN and siphoning off nearly Rs 3 lakh from his account in Ramnagariya area. The accused, Kamlesh Kumar Sharma, who ran a fruit stall outside Lotus Villa Society in Jagatpura, allegedly recorded a video of the victim, Omprakash Khobar, entering his UPI PIN while paying for fruits. Over time, Sharma used the code to transfer money from Khobar's PhonePe account. When the victim noticed the unauthorised transactions and confronted him, Sharma lured him to his flat and killed him to silence him. The body was found in Flat No. 105 of the apartment on July 25. Initially, police suspected natural death due to the victim's age. However, scratch marks on the neck and the missing mobile phone raised suspicions. A post-mortem confirmed death by strangulation. Investigators recovered transaction alerts and call records indicating fund transfers from Khobar's PhonePe to Sharma's account. CCTV footage from the building placed Sharma at the scene during the time of the crime. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The World's Most Comfortable and Luxurious Airports [Photos] Luxury Levels Undo To mislead investigators, Sharma didn't flee.

Sharma was operating his fruit stall outside the society for some time and was familiar to several residents. The victim, police said, lived alone in the apartment.
