Gadchiroli (Maharashtra) [India], June 6 (ANI): Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Friday that around 12 naxals, having a total bounty of over Rs one crore, surrendered before him in Gadhchiroli. Speaking with the media, CM Fadnavis urged the Naxals to surrender, adding that if they don't, then action will be taken against them. 'Today, around 12 naxals with a total bounty of over Rs 1 crore surrendered before me here. This is a big blow to Naxalism. The Naxals want to join the mainstream now. I believe this is a significant incident. There are very few Naxals left in the state today. I urge them to surrender. If they do not surrender, then action will be taken against them,' the Maharashtra CM said. According to a press note from the Office of the Superintendent of Police, Gadchiroli, a total of 704 active Maoists till date have surrendered before the Gadchiroli Police.

Speaking with ANI, CM Fadnavis highlighted that earlier, even the administration could not reach here, but the Maharashtra Police opened an outpost here, thus providing security to the people here. 'Kawande is like the first village at the border or the village that comes first after entry from Chhattisgarh. There is the Abujhmarh forest nearby, and even the administration could not reach here. But our Police opened an outpost here. Due to this outpost, not just Police dominance, but we also filled a security vacuum. We also set up a 4G tower here. Police provided security, and we provide government schemes through this outpost. So, this has built confidence among people,' CM Fadnavis asserted. Speaking on the deadline to eliminate naxalism, the Maharashtra CM emphasised that under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has pledged that the country will be Naxalism-free by March 2026.

UP Govt advisor Awanish Awasthi visits Vrindavan, holds talks over opposition to Banke Bihari corridor
Mathura (Uttar Pradesh) [India] June 6 (ANI): Awanish Awasthi, advisor to the Uttar Pradesh government and former Chief Secretary, arrived in Vrindavan on Friday to address the ongoing opposition to the Banke Bihari Temple Corridor project. Awasthi began his visit by holding a meeting with officials to review the situation. He then visited the Banke Bihari Temple, where he performed the Dehri Pujan and offered Itr Seva. Following the rituals, he met with the temple's Goswami Sevayats to discuss the project, the resistance it has faced, and the potential benefits it could bring. After the discussions with the Goswamis, Awasthi's convoy proceeded to the Tourist Facility Centre (TFC) in Vrindavan, where he is currently holding a meeting with representatives from various sections of the local community to address concerns and deliberate on the corridor project. Earlier on May 27, the Supreme Court slammed the Uttar Pradesh government for 'hijacking' the litigation between two private parties over management of the Shri Banke Bihari temple in Vrindavan. A bench of Justices BV Nagarathna and Satish Chandra Sharma said that if the state government starts entering into private disputes between parties, it will result in a 'breakdown of the rule of law. The bench asked the counsel appearing for the state, 'Was the state a party to the proceedings? In what capacity has the state entered the dispute? If states start entering into private disputes between parties, it will break the rule of law. You can't hijack the litigation. In private litigation between two parties, a state filing an impleadment application and hijacking it is not permissible.' The apex court's observation came while hearing a petition seeking the modification of its order permitting the Uttar Pradesh government to utilise funds from the Shri Banke Bihari Temple in Vrindavan to purchase five acres of land around the temple for corridor development. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for petitioner Devendra Nath Gooswami, told the bench that a fund of Rs 300 crore has been given to the Uttar Pradesh government without making him a party. 'They can't take away the funds of a private temple,' said Sibal. On the other hand, counsel appearing for the Uttar Pradesh government told the bench the state has passed an Ordinance and set up a trust to manage the Banke Bihari temple and oversee work on the proposed corridor. 'Now, the enactment has come into force. Funds are with the Trust, not with the state. This enforcement will dilute the direction of the apex court. The state is not using the funds. The Ordinance bars the state from implementing the court's direction, and the Ordinance says the Trust will manage funds and the state has no role to play,' said the counsel of Uttar Pradesh. The apex court then directed the counsel for the state government to place on record a copy of the Ordinance passed concerning the Trust. It directed the concerned Principal Secretary to file an affidavit by July 29. The petition filed by Gooswami said he was a 'lineal descendant' of the temple's founder, Swami Hari Das Goswami, and his family had been managing the affairs of the sacred temple for the last 500 years. He said he actively managed the temple's daily religious and administrative affairs. In filing the plea, he said the implementation of the proposed redevelopment project was practically unfeasible, and any attempt to redevelop the temple premises without the involvement and input of those who were historically and operationally associated with the temple's functioning was likely to result in administrative chaos. On May 15, the top court had permitted the state to use the Trust's fund and also allowed the use of Sri Banke Bihari Temple Trust's fixed deposits after taking into note the state government's Rs. 500 crore development plan for the corridor.

Andhra Pradesh: Rs 9 crore cyber fraud busted in Kakinada, two held
Kakinada (Andhra Pradesh) [India], June 6 (ANI): Two youths were arrested for their involvement in cyber crimes, with authorities uncovering illegal transactions amounting to Rs nine crore carried out through 48 bank accounts, as per Kakinada district police. During the operation, police seized bank passbooks, diaries, and two mobile phones. District SP Bindu Madhav shared details of the case. Kakinada District Police have arrested two youths involved in cyber crimes, who opened bank accounts in the names of innocent individuals and used them for illegal transactions. Authorities identified 48 such bank accounts across multiple banks, through which around Rs nine crore in illicit financial transactions were carried out. District SP G Bindu Madhav stated that this is likely the first time in the state that cyber fraud of this scale has been successfully thwarted. Kakinada SP Bindu Madhav held a press conference on Friday at the district police office and disclosed all details about the case. The two arrested individuals have been identified as Narni Satish Chandra and Dasari Veera Venkata Satyanarayana, both from Samarlakota. Two other main accused, Putta Ramu and Uday Kiran, are currently absconding. A Look-Out Circular (LOC) has been issued against Ramu. The investigation began based on a complaint by Korra Lovakrishna, a resident of Sambamurthy Nagar, Kakinada. Lovakrishna had opened a bank account at Karnataka Bank in the Kakinada One Town Police Station limits on January 31, 2025, with the help of Satish Chandra, who promised bank loans and a monthly payment of Rs 5,000. Lovakrishna, along with his friends, handed over their bank passbooks, ATM cards, chequebooks, and mobile SIM cards to Satish without proper understanding of the consequences. When no loans or payments were received even after several days, Lovakrishna grew suspicious and questioned Satish, who gave vague and evasive answers. Upon checking with Karnataka Bank, Lovakrishna discovered that his account had been used for illegal transactions totalling Rs 50 lakh. Alarmed, he filed a complaint at the Kakinada One Town Police Station. Based on the complaint, a case was registered, and three special investigation teams were formed. Following an investigation, both Satish Chandra and his associate Dasari Veera Venkata Satyanarayana were arrested, while Uday Kiran and Putta Ramu remain absconding. According to SP Bindu Madhav, the accused had been targeting naive and financially vulnerable people, getting them to open bank accounts under the guise of providing loans and monetary benefits. These accounts were then used for large-scale cyber fraud, with operations linked to Bengaluru and Dubai. In total, 48 bank accounts were used across Karnataka Bank, HDFC, IDBI, and Chaitanya Godavari Grameena Bank, involving Rs 9 crore in fraudulent transactions. Approximately 50 victims have been identified in the Samarlakota and Kakinada areas. SP Bindu Madhav warned that cybercriminals are now specifically targeting the poor and unaware individuals in society, enticing them with promises of easy money and bank loans. She urged the public to be vigilant and not to fall for fraudulent offers. Renting out bank accounts or giving access to them can jeopardise one's entire life, she said. SP Bindu Madhav appealed to people to not trust fraudsters or their misleading promises and to stay alert. Anyone approached with such suspicious proposals should immediately report to the local police station. Police officers, including Kakinada DSP Manish Devaraj Patil, Two Town CI V Naga Durgarao, Peddapuram Crime CI R Ankababu, and Kakinada Crime CI V Krishna were present during the press meet. (ANI)
