Neighbour assaults elderly woman, held
According to police, the shocking assault occurred around 2.15pm when Sasidharan barged into her home and assaulted her. He first grabbed a stick she attempted to defend herself with, then dragged and thrashed her mercilessly.
Police were alerted by other neighbours and Sasidharan was taken into custody soon. The authorities confirmed that a longstanding dispute between the two neighbours over property is believed to have triggered the violent incident.
Residents say clashes between them were frequent, but this was by far the most severe episode.
Sarasamma was admitted to a nearby hospital with multiple injuries. Medical staff reported that her condition is stable and that she is under close observation. Further details about the exact nature of her injuries have not been disclosed. Investigators say Sasidharan will be formally charged with grievous assault under relevant provisions of the Bharathiya Nyaya Samhitha.

ED's Kolkata zonal office conducted the searches at the premises of suspects located at Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad and Lucknow; Rajasthan's Sri Ganganagar; and Maharashtra's Mumbai on August 11 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002.

Live Events Over 500 FIRs have been registered against various Sahara Group entities, with more than 300 involving scheduled offences under the PMLA, alleging large-scale cheating of depositors through forced redeposits and denial of maturity payments. ED investigation revealed that "Sahara group was operating a Ponzi scheme through entities like HICCSL, SCCSL, SUMCS, SMCSL, SICCL, SIRECL, SHICL, and others by luring depositors and agents with promises of high returns and commissions." "The funds were managed in an unregulated manner without depositor oversight, maturity proceeds were not repaid, instead reinvested under coercion or misrepresentation, and books were manipulated to camouflage such non-repayments," said the federal agency. Despite financial incapacity, ED stated that the group continued to collect fresh deposits, part of which was "siphoned off for dubious share transactions, creation of benami assets and personal expenses." "Assets of the group were also sold for partial cash payments, further denying rightful claims of depositors. During the search, incriminating documents and records were seized and statements of key persons were recorded," it further pointed out. Earlier, the agency said, three provisional attachment orders in the instant case have been issued attaching 707 acres of land having approximate market value of Rs 1,460 crore in Amby Valley; 1,023 acres of land having approximate value of Rs 1,538 crore in Sahara Prime City Ltd and movable assets of Chandni Roy, wife of Seemanto Roy, worth Rs 14.75 crore. Further, ED had earlier arrested Anil Vailaparampil Abraham, Executive Director of the Sahara group chairman's Core Management (CCM) Office, and Jitendra Prasad Verma, a long-time associate and property broker of the Sahara group. They remain in judicial custody.

'Trials get dragged for years in India ...': Another AI crash victim's kin moves US court; seeks info from the black-box
NEW DELHI: Son of a Ahmadabad plane crash victim has moved US federal court against aircraft manufacturing company Boeing and sought "raw details of information from the black-box. " Hir Prajapati, son of victim Kalpana Ben Prajapati said that he filed the suit in US for an early verdict and cases in India get dragged for years. "We have hired Mike Andrews. We expect the raw details of information from the black-box to come before us at the earliest so that we can make further decisions regarding the next course of steps, along with our lawyer," Hir said. "In India, trials get dragged for years. We are fighting the case in the US so that a decision is pronounced early. We believe we will get justice. When the incident happened, the Govt helped us a lot. Police too helped us. We are thankful to the doctors too who handed over the bodies to us after a swift DNA mother, Kalpana Ben Prajapati, died in the accident. I had initially booked a 9th June flight for her but she had fast and she told me that she cannot travel that day. So, I then rescheduled it to 11th June. But she told me that she doesn't want to travel on an odd date. So, I finally booked a ticket for 12th June," he added Meanwhile, prominent US-based law firm Beasley Allen will represent at least 65 families from India and the US whose relatives died in the AI-171 plane crash in Ahmedabad. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Do you have a mouse? Play this for 1 minute and see why everyone is crazy about it. Play Game Undo The law firm's aviation attorney and the lead lawyer for the AI-171 crash, Mike Andrews, is on a visit to India to meet families. He visited the plane crash site in Ahmedabad. Talking to media persons, Andrews said that the families he met in the UK and India expressed a burning desire for answers, transparency, and information. Andrews said that the legal options available to the family will primarily be based on what data shows and what the investigation reveals. "We visited the crash site and spoke with some of the individuals who were there. We were able to take some photographs and get a feeling of the size of the scene," said Andrews. The Boeing 787-8 plane en route to London from Ahmedabad crashed into a medical hostel shortly after take-off, killing 241 out of 242 people onboard and 19 on the ground. Andrews said that the data will give them an idea of which entity may or may not be responsible for the crash. He added that if Boeing is found to be responsible for this crash, the cases will be filed in the Federal court in the US. When asked about reports of a pilot error being responsible for the incident, Andrews said that more often than not, pilots who are deceased are the ones who are blamed. He added that in other incidents where the planes landed safely, the pilots were not blamed because those pilots can still speak for themselves. Andrews said that previous crashes taught us that the rush to reach a judgement on any crash is premature and speculative. "We need to wait to get all of the data," he said.

No Game Zone: Chhattisgarh village decides to slap penalty on parents of young gamers
RAIPUR: Forget fines for spitting or smoking in public, the latest crackdown in this Chhattisgarh village targets thumbs, not tobacco. In a first-of-its-kind move, a village has warned parents they'll be slapped with a Rs 5,000 penalty if their children are caught playing 'dangerous' mobile games like 'PUBG' or 'Free Fire' and the village head has even put a Rs 1,000 bounty on tipping off about young gamers flouting the ban. Gram Panchayat of Gahirabhedi in Chhuriya block of Rajnandgaon district has taken this initiative aiming to prevent children wasting time on mobile games and engage in physical activities in stead of being glued to phones and spend the day sitting at one place. Besides, steering children towards studies and other activities is also the motive. Sarpanch Bedbai Porte said the decision was taken collectively by the Panchayat and villagers. 'To ensure real implementation of the rule in letter and spirit, we decided to reward the informers to give a tip-off about youths playing mobile games. They will get Rs 1000 from village funds. The diktat is being hammered into the minds of people and making them aware about the seriousness of the initiative, the village kotwar goes out on bi-cycle making public announcements (munaadi) about the new rule. It's repeated thrice a month,' sarpanch said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like NRIs Living In Ukraine Are Eligible For INR 2 Lakh Monthly Pension.
