‘Used it as sacred seat for decades': EOW seizes tiger hide from woman during raid in DA case against son in Madhya Pradesh

BHOPAL: A tiger skin gifted by her father-in-law in 1977 has now landed a 70-year-old woman in Jabalpur, MP, behind bars. It resurfaced unexpectedly during an Economic Offences Wing raid at her home, a fallout of an ongoing disproportionate assets case against her son, Jagdish Prasad Sarvate, deputy commissioner in the tribal welfare department. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Savitri Sarvate was arrested under the Wildlife Protection Act by the forest department, and sent to judicial custody on Thursday. She said she was unaware of the legal implications of possessing a tiger skin and had been using it for over four decades as a 'sacred seat' during religious rituals. Forest officer Aniruddha Majumdar and a senior scientist from the State Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur, confirmed the skin was that of a tiger. Measuring 5ft and 5inches in length and 5ft and 3 inches in width, it was handed over to the Special Tiger Task Force. Assets worth Rs 6 cr seized from Sarvate Forest officials said possession of tiger parts, even if acquired decades ago, remains a serious criminal offence under the Indian law if not registered. The tiger skin was just one element of the larger recovery from Sarvate's properties. The EOW raid, which started on July 22, is being conducted at Bhopal, Jabalpur, Sagar and Mandla districts. Valuables and documents worth Rs 19 lakh were seized from the family's ancestral home in Adhartal. A joint locker in the name of Jagdish Prasad and his mother at SBI's Tularam branch yielded gold and silver jewellery worth Rs 18.41 lakh. So far, investigators have unearthed assets worth Rs 6.75 crore linked to Sarvate and his family, vastly disproportionate to his declared income of Rs 1.56 crore. From his govt residence in Sagar, Rs 2.80 lakh was recovered. Fifty-six bottles of liquor, seized from a property in Jabalpur, have been handed over to police.

Rameshwaram Cafe in Bengaluru files complaint alleging blackmail to tarnish brand

BENGALURU: The Rameshwaram Café has lodged a police complaint against a group of individuals accusing them of attempting to malign the brand and extort money by staging a false incident of food contamination at its Bengaluru airport outlet. A video showing a group of people alleging that they found a worm in a Pongal dish at the outlet in the airport went viral on Thursday. However, the cafe strongly denied the allegation and claimed that the incident was staged to blackmail the brand. In a press statement, the cafe said a group of five-seven people created a disturbance at the outlet on Thursday morning and later demanded Rs 25 lakh to prevent the video from being circulated. The cafe has filed a police complaint and submitted call logs, screenshots and other evidence. Divya Raghav, founder of Rameshwaram Cafe, called the claims 'baseless' and added that similar blackmail attempts had occurred in the past.

Altogether, Rs 16.78 lakh was under-reported over this period. During 2018-2022, she served as Writer at the unit and was responsible for handling challans. After 2022 she was transferred from Muvattupuzha Traffic Enforcement Unit. She is currently serving at Vazhakulam police station,' an officer said. After these manipulations were discovered in the recent audit, the Ernakulam Rural Police Chief initiated an internal probe. Following the probe, a case was registered against Shanthi Krishnan, and she was suspended from service, officers confirmed. Police are also probing the involvement of any other cops in the graft. Police officers said that corruption took place before digital system was introduced for issuing challans. 'Earlier, challans were issued manually. After paying the fine amount, a receipt was issued to offenders. The amount was later deposited in the bank on a daily basis. Currently the entire system has been digitised ending such malpractices,' he said. The case was registered under various sections of the IPC and Prevention of Corruption Act. 'We plan to transfer the probe to the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) for a detailed investigation. The initial report has already been submitted to VACB,' he said.
