‘Jealous' of fiancee's ex, man & aides abduct, rob him
Ludhiana: Model Town police arrested three individuals, including a woman, for abducting her former boyfriend. The accused allegedly abducted him in a car, thrashed and robbed him before dropping him near Jalandhar Bypass.
Police said that the woman was engaged but would often talk to the victim, which her fiancé objected to. He forced her to call the victim for a meeting to resolve the matter. However, instead of talking it out, he called his friends and abducted the victim, Soojal of Dhillon Nagar, Shimlapuri.
Police lodged an FIR against Harveen, her fiancé Sahil Ghai, and two aides, Kunal Sidhu of Bhora Mohalla, Jalandhar Bypass, and Jatin of Sunder Nagar, on Soojal's complaint.
Soojal, 19, said that he received a phone call from Harveen, who insisted on meeting him. He said that he refused twice, but agreed on her insistence. Harveen called him to meet her near the Atam Park area. When he reached the spot, he met Harveen and her fiancé, Sahil Ghai, who said that they wanted to talk.
From there, Soojal, Harveen, and Sahil reached Jalandhar Bypass on Soojal's bike. On reaching the bypass, Sahil called his two aides, Kunal and Jatin, who came in a car and abducted him.

Assets case: Court rejects vigilance clean chit to ADGP
Thiruvananthapuram : The Special Vigilance Court here on Thursday rejected the vigilance department's report that exonerated ADGP M R Ajith Kumar in the disproportionate assets case, citing that the inquiry was "incomplete" and lacking in essential procedures. The court directed the recording of the statement of petitioner Adv Neyyattinkara Nagaraju, who sought a proper investigation of allegations against the additional director general of police, before deciding whether to order a fresh probe. After examining the report approved by the govt, it said the vigilance inquiry — conducted by a special unit on the state govt's directive — failed to meet even basic investigative standards. It noted that the officer's annual asset statements and income tax returns from 1994 to 2025 were never collected, while the raids on his residence and flat yielded no critical documents. There was no valuation certificate for gold, silver, diamonds and other valuables, despite the possibility of such an assessment by relevant authorities. The court further observed that bank accounts, fixed deposit receipts and bank lockers were not examined, nor was permission under the All India Services (Conduct) Rules, 1968, produced for the purchase or sale of movable and immovable assets. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Authorities like the registration IG and the land revenue commissioner were never contacted to identify undisclosed assets. The investigators also failed to collect call detail records from nodal officers or analyse the call and tower location data of the accused through the hi-tech enquiry cell, it said. No clear distinction was made between legitimate income and alleged unexplained wealth, and the percentage of asset growth over the period was never calculated. It also cited the failure to trace the teak logs allegedly removed from the Malappuram SP office and accused the vigilance of deliberately withholding incriminating evidence. A key omission flagged by the court was the disregard for the testimony of the Vanchiyoor SBI home loan chief manager that the construction of a multi-storeyed residence by the accused in Kowdiar was a Rs 3.58-crore project — a figure absent from the final report. The vigilance probe, which followed allegations raised by former MLA P V Anwar, concluded that the property transactions and construction records were in order and there was no proof of illegal wealth accumulation. The officer had courted controversies earlier too, with allegations coming up over his role in last year's Pooram sabotage row, his meetings with RSS leaders, his tractor ride to Sabarimala and links with a gold smuggling racket.

PCMC recovers 167cr property tax in amnesty period
Navi Mumbai: Panvel City Municipal Corporation recovered Rs 167 crore property tax paid by 60,082 property holders. Since the launch of the amnesty scheme, 37,519 property owners have taken 90% fine exemption with a day left (Aug 15) and collectively availed Rs 64.8 crore. A protest was held on Wednesday on the property tax. The scheme was effective from July 18 to Sept 20 but split into four tiers. Those clearing their outstanding property tax between Aug 16 and Aug 31 would get 75% rebate, between Sept 1 and Sept 10 would get 50% discount and from Sept 11 to Sept 20, a 25% waiver of the fine amount. Thousands hit the streets in Panvel to take part in a protest rally covering about 1 km between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Chowk and PCMC head office. Seven major political parties besides various social and other forums joined the protest terming the property tax levied as unlawful, impractical and intended to divert public attention. You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai | Gold Rates Today in Mumbai | Silver Rates Today in Mumbai The protest was led by ex-MLC and PWP leader Balaram Patil, city Congress chief Sudam Patil, Shiv Sena (UBT)'s Baban Patil and Shirish Gharat, NCP (SP) chief Satish Patil, MNS and other parties. Kharghar Colony Forum president, Leena Garad, had appealed to the residents not to pay the property taxes even under the amnesty scheme. Later, leaders jointly handed over a memorandum to the PCMC chief, Mangesh Chitale. Talking to the media, Patil alleged that the ruling party had promised to not hike any tax for five years but started collecting the property tax with fine/interest. There is no rebate offered on the basic property tax but the amnesty scheme launched is only to provide relief on the fines/interest amounts. The parties have alleged that despite PCMC being a 'D' class municipal corporation, the property tax levied is equivalent to that of 'A' class civic body like Mumbai.
