Election Commission begins BLO training in West Bengal amid speculation on SIR
The Election Commission of India (ECI) started training Booth Level Officers (BLOs) in West Bengal on Saturday, amid concerns that a Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, currently being held in neighbouring poll-bound Bihar, will be held in the state too. During the training session, West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer Manoj Agarwal did not deny that SIR could be held in the state too. 'It may be held in the future. SIR is a sub judice matter. Let the judgment come,' Agarwal said. 'We are also giving SIR training because we cannot call BLOs every time. They are not our permanent staff. We are ready for any type of exercise, even SIR,' he added. Agarwal said that there were 81,000 booths in West Bengal, which would be increased by 14,000. 'We will give training to every worker in each booth,' he added. On Saturday, the training of BLOs, assistant electoral registration officers and supervisors of Murshidabad, Nadia, South and North 24 Parganas districts began at Najrul Mancha stadium in Kolkata. 'This is a training for Special Summary Revision, which is held in West Bengal every year in September. This year, it will happen a month early,' Dibyendu Das, Additional CEO, West Bengal, said. Meanwhile, the ECI has revised the remuneration of BLOs and BLO supervisors in West Bengal, where Assembly elections are due early next year. The poll panel also declared that BLOs will get additional incentives for taking part in special drives. According to sources, the ECI has sent a letter to all CEOs stating, '…the Commission has directed that following minimum annual remuneration should be granted to BLOs and BLO supervisors: Booth Level Officer (BLO)-Rs 12,000, BLO Supervisor-Rs 18000, Special Incentive to BLO (for SSR/SR and any other special drive) Rs 2000.' ECI sources said that BLOs used to get Rs 6,000 earlier. The ruling Trinamool Congress, meanwhile, said that the party will not allow an SIR in Bengal. 'The Election Commission is working to help the BJP in all voting states. They will try that, but the work in Bengal will not be easy, because in every booth of the state, the TMC has an organisation. Every valid voter has contact with the TMC. This conspiracy will not work in West Bengal, because the TMC activists will stand at all booths across the state,' TMC spokesperson Jayprakash Majumder said.

ED raids against Anil Ambani Group companies continue on day 3
Enforcement Directorate searches against the companies of Reliance Group chairman Anil Ambani in Mumbai continued for the third day on Saturday with the agency recovering a number of documents and computer peripherals from multiple locations, official sources said. The raids were launched on July 24 by the federal probe agency as part of an alleged Rs 3,000 crore worth bank loan fraud-linked money laundering case apart from multiple other allegations of financial irregularities with crores of rupees by certain companies. The searches, being conducted under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), are continuing at some locations out of the more than 35 premises that were covered in Mumbai since Thursday, the sources premises belong to 50 companies and 25 people including a number of executives of the Anil Ambani Group companies. ED sources had said the investigation primarily pertains to allegations of illegal loan diversion of around Rs 3,000 crore, given by the Yes Bank to the group companies of Ambani between 2017-2019. Reliance Power and Reliance Infrastructure, two companies of the group, had on Thursday informed the stock exchanges saying while they acknowledge the action, the raids had "absolutely no impact" on their business operations, financial performance, shareholders, employees, or any other stakeholders."The media reports appear to pertain to allegations concerning transactions of Reliance Communications Limited (RCOM) or Reliance Home Finance Limited (RHFL) which are over 10 years old," the companies had ED, the sources had said, has found that just before the loan was granted, Yes Bank promoters "received" money in their agency is investigating this nexus of "bribe" and the sources said the ED is also probing allegations of "gross violations" in Yes Bank loan approvals to these companies including charges like back-dated credit approval memorandums, investments proposed without any due diligence/credit analysis in violation of banks credit loans are alleged to have been "diverted" to many group companies and "shell" (bogus) companies by the entities agency is also looking at some instances of loans given to entities with weak financials, lack of proper documentation of loans and due diligence, borrowers having common addresses and common directors in their companies etc., the sources said. The money laundering case stems from at least two CBI FIRs and reports shared by the National Housing Bank, SEBI, National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA) and Bank of Baroda with the ED, they said. These reports indicate, the sources said, that there was a "well-planned and thought after scheme" to divert or siphon off public money by cheating banks, shareholders, investors and other public institutions. The Union government had informed the Parliament recently that the State Bank of India has classified RCOM along with Ambani as 'fraud' and was also in the process of lodging a complaint with the CBI. A bank loan "fraud" of more than Rs 1,050 crore between RCOM and Canara Bank is also under the scanner of the ED apart from some "undisclosed" foreign bank accounts and assets, the sources said. Reliance Mutual fund is also stated to have invested Rs 2,850 crore in AT-1 bonds and a "quid pro quo" is suspected here by the Tier 1 (AT-1) are perpetual bonds issued by banks to increase their capital base and they are riskier than traditional bonds having higher interest rates. An alleged loan fund diversion of about Rs 10,000 crore involving Reliance Infrastructure too is under the scanner of the agency.A Sebi report on RHFL is also part of the ED companies also said in their filings before the stock exchanges that Anil Ambani was not on the Board of either Reliance Power or Reliance Infrastructure and that they had no "business or financial linkage" to RCOM or RHFL. Any action taken against RCOM or RHFL, the companies said, has no bearing or impact on the governance, management, or operations of either Reliance Power or Reliance Infrastructure.

BB OTT 3 Fame Adnaan Shaikh SCAMMED In Gym Business Of Rs 5 Lakh By Close Friend: 'I Trusted…'
Adnaan Shaikh said that a person he had known since childhood, someone from his inner circle, ended up scamming him. He told Hindustan Times, 'The very person I trusted most, someone from my inner circle, mismanaged my gym business and scammed me. It led to the loss of money and theft of costly gym equipment – over rupees 5 lakhs." It all started in June this year when the individual, a close friend of Adnaan's brother, reached out for support. 'He was well known to me and my brother. He was more like a friend and also lived close by. I even helped fund his sister's wedding," Adnaan said. When Adnaan launched his first gym in Mumbai, a dream he had nurtured for years, he gave the person the responsibility of managing its social media. 'Soon he requested a job, and I gave him one in my gym. But sadly, within a year and a half, he broke that trust," Adnaan said. Adnaan said that he initially ignored discrepancies in the accounts, but things eventually added up. 'I avoided the prevailing discrepancies in accounts for some time. But then I had to confront him," he added. The person attempted to cover up the fraud with a false excuse. Adnaan revealed, 'I cross-checked only to know it was a lie. That's when I realised it was all made up. Eventually, he confessed to stealing around Rs 4 lakh." The betrayal hit Adnaan hard, prompting him to take legal action. 'After this incident, I've become very cautious. It has made it difficult for me to trust new people. Rebuilding that kind of faith takes time," he also mentioned. Looking back, he admitted that warning signs were there. 'Despite occasional doubt, I continued to trust him because of our long-standing association," he explained. Now, Adnaan has a strong message for others, 'I ask all to be cautious about who you trust with your business or personal responsibilities. No matter how long you've known someone, always maintain proper accountability and regularly monitor your finances. Learn from my experience. Stay alert, stay aware, and protect your hard-earned money." Adnaan Shaikh is a popular social media influencer, who makes content on fitness, travel, and his family. He got married last year after participating in Bigg Boss OTT 3 with Sana Makbul, Ranvir Shorey, Delhi's famous Vada Pav girl Chandrika Dixit, and others. The influencer was recently blessed with a baby boy.
