Fresh FIR against Nikant Jain for Rs 4 crore bank fraud
1 2 3 Lucknow: Hazratganj police on Tuesday lodged a fresh FIR against Nikant Jain, the alleged kingpin in the Rs 8,000-crore solar commission scam. This is the sixth FIR against Jain, who is currently lodged in Lucknow district jail. Three FIRs were lodged starting March 20 from his arrest in Gomtinagar, then in Wazirgaj on May 26, and then in Hazratganj on June 10. The other FIRs are one each in Meerut, Etah, and one more in Wazirganj lodged in 2019. This new case is linked to a massive financial fraud involving forged property valuations and criminal conspiracy to defraud Indian Bank of Rs 4 crore in 2017–2018. The new FIR was registered on the complaint of Ashish Jindal, branch manager of Indian Bank's Stressed Asset Management Branch, Lucknow. As per the FIR, Jain, along with his co-accused — Sukant Jain and Vaishali Jain —fraudulently obtained a loan of Rs 4 crore in the name of their registered company, M/s SSJ Agrotech Pvt Ltd. The loan was taken against two properties mortgaged by the company. However, later, the company sought permission from the bank to substitute the first property with a third property. This substitution was approved by the bank. Things took a turn in 2018 when the account turned into a Non-Performing Asset (NPA). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like SNS에서 화제인 그 팔찌, 예쁜데 의미까지... 굿네이버스 더 알아보기 Undo During SARFAESI proceedings, a fresh valuation of the substituted property revealed that its actual market value was significantly lower than earlier presented.

‘More AC trains in Mumbai without increase in fares'
Mumbai: More AC trains will be introduced on Mumbai's suburban railway network without increasing fares, said CM Devendra Fadnavis in the aftermath of the CR accident in Mumbra. At a presser on Tuesday, Fadnavis said he had a 45-minute interaction with Union railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on the need to further improve the suburban train system. Admitting there is a load on the suburban network, Fadnavis said, "This is going to be there till all metro lines are completed." He said in 11 years, the Modi govt has invested in a big way in railway infrastructure, whether it is passenger amenities, new signalling systems, widening of platforms or laying railway lines. However, it is true that during peak hours, carrying capacity is inadequate and needs to be further strengthened, he said. "Our railway minister has said existing trains will be retrofitted so doors close, as such instances are more because doors do not close. Yesterday's accident was unfortunate. The railway minister told me additional trains will be introduced on suburban routes with more AC trains. If automatic doors are installed (in non-AC trains), govt will take care of ventilation. AC trains will be introduced without increasing fares," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Consigue audifonos de alta calidad sin gastar ni un solo centavo Top Audifonos Undo On BMC elections Fadnavis said, "Who will form an alliance with whom, one cannot tell now. One thing is clear: Mumbaikars will stand with Mahayuti, and it will win BMC elections. Mumbai's mayor will be from Mahayuti." On BEST The CM said, "Under no circumstances will BEST be shut. We will strengthen it. BEST has placed an order for 5,000 new buses. Once these are delivered, BEST will function more efficiently. We have drafted the UMTA (Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority) law, whereby we will bring all public transport under one umbrella. Today we launched the common card, and the trial is on, which is successful. If BEST is not strengthened, neither the metros nor suburban railway can work efficiently. " On ending Naxalism "Highly effective work has been done under the Modi govt on ending the Naxal movement. Union home minister Amit Shah has promised to end Naxalism by March 2026. Active Naxalism will be ended. In 10 years, good work has been done in Maharashtra against Naxals and Maoists, but five years of Congress govt in Chhattisgarh led to an increase in Naxal recruits. Since BJP govt was formed in Chhattisgarh, both govts are working jointly against Naxalism," he said. On Dharavi Fadnavis said the people of Dharavi support the redevelopment project and have even taken out a morcha in support of the project. "Merely because four Congress leaders take out a morcha does not mean people are opposed to it. This is the country's biggest urban transformation project. All eligible residents will get a house in Dharavi, and all eligible business establishments will be rehabilitated in Dharavi. Those ineligible will also get housing. No one will be left out. In fact, 8-10 lakh people will get housing. It is the world's biggest urban transformation project. Some do not want the poor to be pulled out of poverty. Congress has been doing this kind of politics," he said. TNN
