To nab bogus TC, real ones go ticketless on Exp train
Kalyan: Kalyan Govt Railway Police caught a bogus ticket checker, Ramprakash Mandal (40), on Kushinagar Express train. The arrested bogus TC, taking advantage of rush in the general compartment due to summer vacation when TCs hardly check tickets on trains, had looted many posing as TC and issuing bogus fine receipts.
Kalyan GRP sources said that recently, senior divisional commercial manager (Works) Arun Kumar received a complaint of bogus fine receipts given to passengers on the Kushinagar Express. He formed a team of TCs led by Haresh Dahilkar who, with his team, posed as passengers without tickets, and boarded the Kushinagar Express on Wednesday. They caught a suspect in a TC's unfiorm and badge, asking people to show their tickets in the general compartment.
Kalyan GRP said that when the genuine TCs team asked the accused, saying they were four without tickets and wanted tickets from LTT to Gorakhpur, the bogus TC asked them pay a fine of Rs 2,640. When the team checked the receipt, they found it fake. The team, with help of RPF personnel, caught him and handed him over to Kalyan GRP, who arrested the fake TC. —Pradeep Gupta

‘Our life's savings stolen': North Kolkata family robbed of Rs 2 crore in night heist; while family asleep
KOLKATA: Burglars broke into a five-bedroom apartment in a building on Ultadanga Main Road close to Hudco crossing early on Monday and decamped with cash and jewellery worth Rs 2 crore. The family members, who were asleep during the break-in, told police they suspected insider involvement as the burglars were aware where the jewellery was kept and did not touch costly electronic items lying around. The apartment is owned by 62-year-old businessman Sushil Kumar Bajaj, whose son, Shubham, told police that the accused entered the first-floor apartment through a window in the prayer room after cutting and removing the iron grille. With the keys dangling in the almirah, the accused had no problem accessing the gold and diamond jewellery kept inside. Cops said a wedding had taken place at the house more than a year ago and the family members had not returned the jewellery to the bank locker. The break-in was discovered around 6.15 am when Shubham's mother noticed the window grille in the prayer room was missing. Besides Rs 2 lakh in cash, jewellery that were stolen included a gold set of necklace, earrings and bangles weighing 80-100 grams and valued at Rs 70 lakh. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tukarkan Bitcoin dan Ethereum - Tanpa Dompet Diperlukan!

'These weren't just valuable items, they included family heirlooms,' said a family member. Shubham said he suspected an insider could be involved. 'They did not touch the electronic items that lay scattered around our flat. They knew where the almirah with the ornaments was and even ventured into the kitchen and ate some almonds,' he said. 'Our life's savings have been stolen. My father has serious heart ailments, and my mother is diabetic. We need to keep cash with us for sudden hospitalisations. Last month, too, my father spent days at a hospital in Alipore. I remain busy with my job. I married a few months ago and these were very much all we had as our savings,' he added. Police are examining footage from CCTV cameras in the neighbourhood and have deployed a forensic team to collect evidence from the crime scene, an investigating officer said. An FIR under BNS 305 (theft in a dwelling house) has been lodged at Ultadanga police station. The detective department is also helping with the probe. This incident has raised concerns about security in the Ultadanga area. Residents of neighbouring buildings expressed concern at the daring theft that took place despite the presence of family members in the house.

22 quintals fake cotton seeds seized; 6 arrested
Suryapet: Police in Suryapet seized approximately 22 quintals of fake cotton seeds valued at around Rs 65 lakhs. In connection with this case, six accused individuals were arrested. The CCS police, along with staff from Mothey Police Station and Atmakuru Police Station, conducted simultaneous raids in different areas during which four suspects were arrested in the Atmakuru case, and two in the Mothey case. The fake business was effectively stopped by police, who explained that these seeds falsely claimed to have weed-resistant properties and higher yields, thereby deceiving farmers. District SP Narasimha clarified during a media briefing that no official manufacturing of such seeds with these characteristics is taking place. He advised farmers to remain vigilant, avoid falling into the trap of fake seeds, and only purchase seeds from government-recognized dealers. He emphasized the importance of consulting agricultural officers' advice. The SP also warned that strict action, including the possible implementation of the PD Act, will be taken against those supplying fake seeds and deceiving farmers. He appreciated the CCS staff for their excellent work during the investigation. The police assured that they will continue to monitor and prevent such fake seed gangs for the benefit of farmers.
