10 mnths after disappearance, constable's skeletal remains found in Sivasagar, 4 held
1 2 3 Dibrugarh: Skeletal remains of a 51-year-old constable missing for 10 months were found in a pit behind the house of one of the four murder accused in a village in Assam's Sivasagar district Saturday, prompting police to arrest his second wife, her two sons from her previous marriage, and an accomplice. The victim, Rabirul Hussain, was allegedly drugged with sleeping pills by his second wife, Baby Begum (47), and her two sons — Idul (22) and Mahfuz (19) — before being smothered and hacked to death. His body was then buried behind the house of Mukib Ali, a dumper driver, in Rohdoi Ali village, police said. Hussain, posted in Mankachar, had travelled to his native village of Habigaon in Sivasagar for Eid in July 2024. He was last seen alive on July 27, the day he was scheduled to return to duty. Although Baby Begum filed a missing person report, the case took a new turn when Hussain's first wife approached Charaideo police a month and a half later, suspecting foul play. "The case had hit a dead end until the fresh complaint from his first wife prompted a re-investigation. We started from scratch using technical surveillance and human intelligence," said Charaideo SP Surjeet Singh Panesar. Following the murder, Mukib fled to Chennai. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Contagem (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo But his luck ran out when a team led by DSP Aryan Nath tracked him down and arrested him in Sriperumbudur. During interrogation, Mukib confessed to the crime and led investigators to the burial site. "DNA profiling of the remains will be carried out," said SP Panesar. Subsequently, police arrested Baby Begum, Idul, and Mahfuz. "The constable had taken a bank loan and even bought a car in Baby's name. However, he was also supporting his first wife. The motive appears to be financial — to prevent him from continuing to spend money on his first wife. This is the preliminary motive we've gathered," the SP added. Police are proceeding with charges of murder and criminal conspiracy against all four accused.

Couple found dead at house, kin alleges threat from bank
Thiruvananthapuram: A couple, who were reportedly facing a severe financial crisis, were found dead at their house in Karamana, allegedly after receiving a call from a nationalised bank informing them that their house would be attached on Monday as part of revenue recovery. Police identified the deceased as Satheeshan, 55, of Keshava Bhavan near Kochu Kattanvila at Thamalam and Bindu V, 49. Bindu's body was found hanging in the bedroom and Satheeshan's body was lying on the floor. "Only after a postmortem can we confirm whether it was suicide or whether there was any foul play. The cause of Satheeshan's death has also not been confirmed. There was some bleeding from his body," said police. The relatives of the deceased alleged that the bank cheated the deceased by charging an enormous amount as interest on the loan taken. According to relatives, Satheeshan took a loan of Rs 60 lakh about seven years ago. He suffered a stroke in 2021. Following this, he could not repay the loan amount. "Two years ago, the bank offered him some money as a top-up of the existing loan. However, he received no money, and the bank asked him to pay Rs 1.10 crore to avoid revenue recovery. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is USDJPY on the Upward Move? IC Markets Sign Up Undo In April, the bank staff members had reached the house to seal the property, but due to the resistance by local people, they did not proceed with it. The bank later directed him to pay back Rs 2 crore. Following that, he filed a case against the bank demanding a reassessment of the way the repayment amount was calculated and also for threatening him on the phone continuously," said Binu T, brother of Bindu. Binu also said the family was planning to sell the house to repay the loan, but by projecting a huge amount, the bank ruined their plans to clear the dues. Locals recently protested in front of the bank demanding justice by waiving off some part of the interest. But the bank was not willing to do so, alleged Binu.

Jammu and Kashmir: Raids in Poonch to bust terror links
Representative image (ANI) JAMMU: J&K police conducted raids Sunday at eight locations in Jammu's Poonch to dismantle infrastructure of terror and thwart attempts by Pakistan-based operatives to use locals and plot attacks. Officials said the searches covered locations in Sawjian and adjoining areas in Poonch, targeting homes of people associated with Pakistan-based terrorists. 'J&K police launched the simultaneous raids as part of a crackdown on Pakistan-based terrorists to use contacts for motivating gullible youth to carry out subversive activities in the region, disturbing peace and harmony,' an official said. The raids focused on gathering leads about cross-border connections and support systems for terrorists. 'The operation is part of ongoing efforts to tighten security and check efforts to revive militancy in the region,' the official said. Earlier on June 4, similar raids were mounted at 60 locations in the frontier district to smoke out suspected OverGround Workers (OGWs) who provide logistical and other support to terrorists. Security agencies believe that terrorists can't survive long without the help of OGWs. On May 18, nearly one-and-a-half dozen places were searched, mostly houses of OGWs and relatives of terrorists operating from Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Found THIS Chat on Her Husband's Phone and Vanished Overnight medalmerit Learn More Undo These searches were not confined only to Poonch but also extended to the neighbouring border district of Rajouri. On November 25 last year, multiple raids in Rajouri as part of terror probes led police to claim seizures of incriminating material and documents. The cases pertained to some OGWs conniving with proscribed outfits such as Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) to organise and execute terror-related activities, police said.
