ED Conducts Raids In Goa And Pune In Rs 10 lakh Land Grabbing Case
The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Panaji Zonal Office, carried out search operations at eight locations across Goa and Pune on July 4 in connection with an illegal land grabbing case. The raids were conducted under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA). The action was taken based on an FIR registered by Porvorim Police Station in North Goa, which alleged a criminal conspiracy to fraudulently acquire an ancestral property measuring 5,000 sq. meters at Survey No. 210/5 in Socorro, North Goa, said the press release of the ED. The property belongs to the complainant, Jeronimo Oliveiro Desouza, said a release. The ED is investigating the role of John Paul Valles, Sandeep Vazarkar, and their associates in allegedly orchestrating the conspiracy. According to officials, the accused allegedly fabricated inventory proceeding No. 134/2019/C, falsely claiming that the father of two women, Sandra De Sa and Maureen Saldanha, were the same person as the complainant's late father. This fraudulent declaration enabled the transfer of ownership to the two women. John Paul Valles subsequently secured a Power of Attorney (POA) from the women in Pune and proceeded to subdivide the property, selling multiple plots to different buyers. Sandeep Vazarkar, who accompanied Valles to Pune for the execution of the POA, admitted during the investigation to have received Rs 10 lakh as brokerage, said the agency. Authorities also detected large, unexplained cash deposits in his bank accounts. During the searches, ED officials seized multiple electronic devices and a significant volume of documents, including Deeds of Sale, POAs, and inventory proceeding records. A diary listing cash transactions was also recovered. The seizures were made from premises linked to Sandeep Vazarkar, John Paul Valles, Sandeep Manjrekar, and Avinash Naik. Officials say the recovered evidence is expected to yield key leads in tracing the proceeds of crime and advancing the probe into the land-grabbing conspiracy. Further investigation is underway.

4 dead, 4 injured after portion of coal mine collapses in Jharkhand
Four people were killed and four others injured after part of an abandoned coal mine collapsed during 'illegal' mining in Jharkhand's Ramgarh district in the early hours of Saturday, an official said. The incident happened at the Karma project in Mahua Tangri in Kuju Outpost area. 'Four bodies have been recovered from the accident site, while four injured were rescued,' Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) of Ramgarh Anurag Kumar Tiwari told PTI. The deceased were identified as Md Imtiyaz, Rameshwar Manjhi, Wakil Karmali and Nirmal Munda. All of them hailed from nearby villages. The relief and rescue operation has been called off after the debris was removed, a police officer said. 'There is no possibility of any person being trapped inside as the debris has been removed,' Ramgarh's SDPO Parmeshwar Prasad said. SP Ajay Kumar said the abandoned mine belonged to Central Coalfields Ltd. 'The company has its own security personnel to stop such illegal activities. We extended our cooperation to CCL after we received the information,' he said. A section of villagers demonstrated near the CCL Karma Project office to protest the incident and demand compensation. Accusing CCL of negligence, the protestors demanded compensation of Rs 20 lakh each for the kin of the deceased and Rs 5 lakh for the injured. 'The company left the mine open. Poor villagers went to extract coal for cooking fuel, and the incident happened. If there was barricading and adequate security in the mine, this accident could have been avoided,' Md Kalam, a villager, said. A meeting of the villagers and CCL management also took place on the compensation. The outcome of it is yet to be known. Kuju police outpost in-charge Ashutosh Kumar Singh said that some villagers were involved in 'illegal' mining of coal at the site when the incident happened. The district administration issued a show-cause notice to the CCL management over the incident, officials said. Union Minister Annapurna Devi termed the incident unfortunate and said that the state government should be sensible and immediately take steps to check the recurrence of such incidents. 'It appears that the state government is ignorant and it has nothing to do with such incidents. I would urge the state government to take action over such incident,' she said. Leader of the Opposition Babulal Marandi of the BJP demanded a high-level probe into the incident. 'I am deeply saddened by this news. Many of our labourer brothers are feared to be buried in illegal coal mines. I pray to god for their safety and express my deepest condolences to the bereaved families,' he said in a post on X. He also claimed that this was not an accident, but murder. 'This is due to the negligence of the corrupt and incompetent government, which turns a blind eye to the illegal business going on in broad daylight,' he alleged. Marandi questioned that if the CCL had closed the mine, how the coal mafia was operating there.
