Buds Authority seeks collector's help for remitting lease premium paid to Kinfra by Nirmal Krishna scam accused
Earlier, the authority attached all the properties owned by the accused as part of recovery measures and one of the attached properties was the 50-cent land at Kinfra. However, during the process, the authority found that the land was actually owned by a woman entrepreneur Usha Umesh, 53, and it was fraudulently taken by K Nirmalan, the key accused in the Nirmal Krishna fraud.
As per the Banning of Unregulated Deposit Schemes (Buds) Act, the authority has no power to attach a tri-party asset and its powers are limited to attaching the assets directly owned by the accused.
Buds Authority revoked recovery measures against the land and requested Kinfra to remit the lease premium paid after deducting the amounts for the years the land was used by the accused. Despite sending several reminders, there was no progress from Kinfra. Following this, Buds Authority sent a letter to the district collector asking to direct Kinfra in this regard.
An RTI application was filed by the woman entrepreneur seeking the details of the pact between Kinfra and the accused regarding the land. However, Kinfra claimed they were not in possession of such a document. This raises questions about how the accused possessed the land in Kinfra, which was owned by a woman. The woman alleged that she was evicted from the land by the accused with the help of officials concerned and some trade union workers.

Man Sends Parcel Bomb In Speaker To Husband Of Woman He Loved; Arrested
Police say gelatin sticks were used as the main explosive, and the speaker's casing would have acted as deadly shrapnel on detonation. A 20-year-old electrician in Chhattisgarh, obsessed with a married woman, allegedly tried to kill her husband by sending him a parcel bomb disguised as a speaker gift, police said on Sunday. The accused, Vinay Verma, was reportedly infatuated with the woman since her college days. After she married Afsar Khan a few months ago, Verma allegedly conspired to kill Khan. He assembled an improvised explosive device (IED) using online tutorials, and hid it inside a brand-new music system speaker. According to police, the IED was wired to explode as soon as it was plugged in. His Google search history included disturbing queries like: 'how to kill a person using a bomb without being caught by police." The case came to light when a suspicious, gift-wrapped parcel, falsely labelled with an India Post logo, was delivered to Khan's shop in Manpur village under Gandai police limits a few days ago. Khan found it odd and immediately informed police. A bomb squad arrived and discovered a 2-kg IED hidden inside the speaker. 'Technical analysis showed the IED was designed to detonate upon being plugged into a power source. The current would reach a detonator connected to the speaker's wiring, triggering the explosion," said Superintendent of Police Lakshya Sharma. Police say gelatin sticks were used as the main explosive, and the speaker's casing would have acted as deadly shrapnel on detonation. With Verma's arrest, the police also uncovered an illegal explosives smuggling racket, used to procure the materials. In total, seven people have been arrested, including Parmeshwar Verma (25), Gopal Verma (22), Ghasiram Verma (46), Dilip Dhimar (38), Gopal Khelwar, and Khilesh Verma (19). Police investigations revealed that the explosives had been siphoned off from a stone quarry in Durg district. Parmeshwar allegedly paid Rs 6,000 to buy gelatin rods from Gopal and Dilip. Ghasiram delivered the materials, while Khilesh prepared the fake India Post label. Verma and Gopal delivered the parcel. Raids at the homes of Gopal and Dilip led to the seizure of 60 gelatin sticks and two detonators. Police said the quarry operator in Patharia from where the materials were stolen will also be questioned. 'This action not only thwarted a planned murder but also exposed a network of illegal explosive supply in the region," SP Sharma said. He added that further investigation is ongoing, and strict legal action will be taken against all involved. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

BHUBANESWAR: Director General of Police (DGP) YB Khurania on Friday suspended Rajesh Baliarsingh, inspector-in-charge (IIC) of Astaranga police station in Puri, for gross misconduct and dereliction of duty. During the suspension period, he will remain under the disciplinary control of Central Range IG.

Earlier in the week, Koraput police had summoned Baliarsingh and asked him to appear before them at a police station in Bhubaneswar for questioning in this regard.
