MDA reclaims encroached land in west Mysuru by demolishing illegal structures
MDA special land acquisition officer KR Rakshith, who is the in-charge commissioner of MDA, informed TOI that the property was situated in a prime location in west Mysuru and attached to the Outer Ring Road. Temporary structures constructed by encroachers were demolished using earthmovers.
The structures were built with the intention to grab the property that was acquired by the urban body in the early 1990s. The illegal occupants left their aged relatives and parents to avoid any legal complications involving themselves.
The MDA team, which sought police protection for the operation, successfully evacuated them by removing all their belongings from the temporary sheds and safely vacated them from the spot. Earthmovers were used to bring down the sheds.
According to Rakshith, the total value of the market is about Rs 160 crore. About two families, all aged people, lived on the MDA land.
MDA would clean up the area and fence it to avoid any further encroachment of the land in Vijayanagar IV stage.

An officer claimed the land, approximately 8 acres and 18 guntas, was acquired by the MDA (earlier Muda) in the early 1990s and award money was deposited in the court. "However, younger members of two families, claiming the land belonged to them, camped there for years," the officer said.

Gangster found hanging in Delhis Mandoli Jail, police suspect suicide
New Delhi, Aug 16 (PTI) A notorious gangster with several criminal cases registered against him, including those for murder and extortion, was found dead in his cell at Mandoli Jail here on Saturday, officials said. They said police suspect that he died by suicide. The inmate, identified as Salman Tyagi, was found hanging during a routine inspection in Jail Number 15. Prison authorities said he had used a bedsheet to make a noose. He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead, they said. Police and jail officials have launched an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding his death. 'A probe has been initiated. We are examining how the incident occurred and what could have led him to take this step. A detailed report will be submitted," a senior officer said. Tyagi was widely known in Delhi's underworld. Convicted under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, he had a long record of offences, including cases of extortion and organised violence. He began his criminal career with the infamous Neeraj Bawana gang but later attempted to build his own network, investigators said. Sources said that in recent years, Tyagi sought to align himself with the Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate. Even while lodged in jail, he allegedly continued to issue instructions to his associates. Last year, he reportedly ordered an attack on two businessmen in Delhi to extort Rs 50 lakh from them. Police believe the move was intended to show his influence and gain Bishnoi's trust. Beyond crime, Tyagi cultivated a flamboyant image on social media. Officers said he was deeply influenced by Bollywood actor Salman Khan and copied his hairstyle and appearance from the 2003 film 'Tere Naam'. He often posted pictures and videos on Instagram and YouTube, projecting himself as a larger-than-life figure. 'Even after his arrest, he directed his aides to film him during court appearances and circulate videos to maintain his online presence," a police source said. Prison officials said CCTV footage and security measures are being reviewed to check for any lapses. Further investigation into the matter is underway, they added.

20-yr-old NCB case: Court allows copies of papers destroyed in fire
Mumbai: After the original case papers were destroyed in a 2013 fire, a special court for Narcotic Drug and Psychotropic Substances Act on Wednesday granted the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) permission to present secondary evidence or copies of the original documents in a 20-year drug case in which the trial is yet to commence. "NCB has filed the report and affidavit of officer and satisfied that the original record is destroyed due to fire. It is not attributed to the fault of the complainant," said special judge SM Bukke. The order directed the prosecution to conclude the trial within two months. The case deals with the illegal purchase, sale, and dealings of "Bunogesic Injection". Mumbai's NCB inspector said the documents were either misplaced during an office shift or damaged by water from heavy rain. The report stated that the fire broke out due to a defective electric circuit, damaging computers and servers. While the record room was mostly saved from the fire, it suffered minor damage from water logging and smoke during the firefighting efforts. The judge's order noted that under Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, secondary evidence is admissible when original documents are unavailable due to reasons beyond a party's control, such as loss or destruction. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

They contended that NCB had not provided details of the time, date, and manner of the documents' destruction claiming there was no heavy rainfall in the NCB office area. The defence also pointed out that the loss was not proven to be beyond the NCB's negligence or default, and the application should be dismissed.
