Blue plaques go missing from 3 heritage structures
1 2 Kolkata: Blue plaques, installed by KMC to indicate the heritage status of old structures in the city, have gone missing from three Grade I structures — two temples and a chapel — in the past month. The thefts were reported a month ago from Circular Road Baptist Chapel on AJC Bose Road near Nonapukur, Sabarna Roy Choudhury family's Dwadash Mandir and Sanjher Atchala temple—both in Behala—within five months of the plaques being installed at the heritage structures. KMC officials suspect drug addicts, selling metals for money, might have stolen the plaques. "We were informed about the thefts last month, and our team inspected the heritage sites and found the plaques indeed missing. We suspect that drug addicts might have stolen them," a senior official of KMC's heritage department told TOI. "We have informed police about the missing blue plaques." Circular Road Baptist Chapel founded in 1821 is in Ward 61. The heritage properties of the Sabarna Roy Choudhury family are on Sabarna Para Road in KMC's ward 126.

The civic body has installed the boards on 540 Grade I heritage buildings in the city at a cost of Rs 16.2 lakh, according to a KMC official. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pink Salt: The Greatest Enemy of Body Fat (Watch) GoldenEraCoverage Undo After the Baptist Chapel theft was reported, KMC reinstalled the plaque a week ago. But the plaques are yet to be reinstalled at the Behala temples. "We completed the blue plaque installation on heritage buildings in the city a few months ago. Tenders were floated for the procurement of the plaques, based on KMC's list of Grade I heritage buildings. Right now, we don't have extra blue plaques in stock. To get them, we will have to float a new tender, and the process will take some time," said a senior official. Dwadash Mandir—12 Shiva temples with a 'dol mancha' — was established in 1852 and in 1917, Barisha Girls' High School came up on its premises. The Roy Choudhury family also founded Sanjher Atchala temple in 1608. Devarshi Roy Choudhury, secretary of Sabarna Roy Choudhury Paribar Parishad, said, "Last month, we discovered that the plaques had disappeared from Dwadash Mandir and Sanjher Atchala temple. We alerted the KMC and requested officials to install them again. " Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Bikaner man held for faking his death to claim Rs 50L insurance
1 2 Jaipur: A 29-year-old male nurse who faked his death to claim a Rs 50 lakh life insurance policy was arrested in Bikaner after police uncovered forged documents, including a fabricated cremation receipt. Sub-Inspector Devendra Soni of Jai Narayan Vyas Colony police station told TOI that the accused, identified as Mangilal Jiyani, a resident of Sriganganagar district, worked as a day care provider. He was arrested Saturday following a probe triggered by the insurance company's suspicion over irregularities in his claim file. According to Soni, Jiyani purchased a term life insurance policy worth Rs 50 lakh on Aug 9, 2023, paying a monthly premium of Rs 1,221. After just two instalments, he was declared dead of a heart attack on Oct 14, 2023, and a claim was filed in his name. The company flagged the case after noticing the unusually short payment history. Investigations revealed that Jiyani's associate opened a fake bank account to receive the payout and was listed as the policy nominee. To support the claim, the associate presented a forged death certificate and a fabricated cremation receipt. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The latter was allegedly used to secure a false death certificate from the Bikaner Municipal Corporation. Soni said Jiyani went underground after the claim was filed, but investigators continued to pursue the case. "The insurance company suspected that there were contradictions and a lot of inconsistencies in documents submitted to prove his death and suspected that he was still alive," he said. The insurance company denied his insurance claim and began looking into his documents. Police said the fraud came to light after the insurance company's legal officer lodged a complaint on Aug 22, 2024. The inquiry established that Jiyani fabricated documents and staged his death, while his friend attempted to encash the policy. Police are now investigating the involvement of others in the conspiracy and how the fake documents were procured. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Inter-caste, same-village marriage forces Dalit family to flee
Bathinda: A Dalit family from Ena Khera village in Muktsar district has been forced to live outside their village for over a month following the inter-caste, same-village marriage of their son. The family alleges that in their absence, their home was vandalised and looted by members of the girl's family. Twenty-two-year-old Surinder Singh, belonging to a Dalit family, married an 18-year-old Jatt Sikh girl from the same village on July 7. The couple solemnised their marriage at a gurdwara in Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, and obtained a legal certificate. However, their union sparked outrage in the village, where the panchayat had earlier passed a resolution opposing same-village marriages. Surinder's father, Malkit Singh—a baptised Granthi—and his uncle Gurmeet Singh, a painter, said they were forced to leave the village after the couple eloped. They took shelter with relatives. Days later, they learned that a group led by the girl's family had broken into their house, damaged property, and stolen belongings. When they returned to check on their home, they were allegedly subjected to casteist abuse. The family has filed a police complaint seeking justice. "The village panchayat may oppose our son's return, but that doesn't justify the humiliation and violence we are facing," said Malkit Singh. Police action and ongoing investigation Malout DSP Iqbal Singh Sandhu confirmed that a complaint was received on Friday. Acting on it, police arrested three individuals, including the girl's father and brother, under preventive provisions of Sections 126/170 of the BNSS. "We are taking steps to prevent escalation and ensure the matter doesn't turn into a larger inter-caste conflict," he said. This incident follows a similar case in Ghal Kalan village, Moga, where the mother of a boy was assaulted on July 29 after her son married a girl from the same village. The Punjab State Women Commission had taken cognizance of that case, and an FIR was registered, including against the village sarpanch. Rising opposition to same-village marriages Several village panchayats across Punjab have recently passed resolutions opposing marriages within the same village, citing social customs and community pressure. Activists and legal experts have raised concerns over such resolutions, calling them unconstitutional and discriminatory.
