Cops identify Maoist mastermind behind theft of explosives
1 2 Bhubaneswar: Odisha police have identified Anmol, a Jharkhand-based Maoist leader, as the mastermind behind the recent theft of around 5,000 kg of explosives from a stone quarry at Banko in Sundargarh district. Anmol, 45, also known as Anmol da, Samar, and Lalchand Hembram, is a state committee member (SCM) of the outlawed CPI (Maoist). He carries bounties of Rs 15 lakh in Jharkhand and Rs 20 lakh in Odisha. Originally from Itwabeda Jarwa village under Penk-Narayanpur police station in Jharkhand, Anmol was previously active in the Bihar-Jharkhand-Odisha regional committee. Until 2018-19, he coordinated Maoist operations in Sambalpur-Deogarh-Sundargarh division of Odisha and led several attacks on security forces along the Odisha-Jharkhand axis. His knowledge of Naxal operations in Odisha and tactical proficiency facilitated the bold theft at the stone quarry in Banko, under K Balang police limits in Rourkela on May 27. The location's proximity to Jharkhand's Saranda forest, with its thick vegetation and challenging terrain, offered suitable cover for Anmol and his associates. "We have identified those Maoists involved in the explosives loot. Efforts are on to arrest them," DGP Y B Khurania told TOI. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 42-year-old woman changed drastically in a few months!

"Of the approximately 5 tonnes of gelatin sticks stolen, 3.8 tonnes have been retrieved. All credit goes to the personnel engaged in the massive joint search operation, which is still continuing. We aim to make complete recovery," Khurania said. The DGP acknowledged that the Sundargarh Naxal incident revealed areas for improvement. "We came across some learning points. We are reviewing standard operating procedures for explosive transport, storage in Naxal-affected areas, and compliance verification. Corrective and remedial measures would be implemented," Khurania said. He said police have begun inspecting firms involved in explosive trade in the state, particularly in Maoist-affected regions. Odisha police said they would not suggest to the ministry of home affairs (MHA) to reinstate Sundargarh under the Centre's security-related expenditure (SRE) scheme for Naxal-affected districts. Sundargarh was excluded from the SRE scheme after being removed from the left-wing extremism (LWE) affected areas list last year. The top cop reported a significant reduction in Naxal operations in Odisha, expressing confidence that law enforcement will successfully support the Centre's objective of establishing a 'Maoist-free India' by March 2026.

NCLT allows govt to freeze Gensol Engineering accounts in fraud probe
The Ahmedabad bench of National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on Wednesday permitted the central government to freeze the bank accounts and lockers of Gensol Engineering Ltd, its 10 subsidiaries, and several individuals after multiple investigations revealed major financial irregularities, The Economic Times reported. In an order on Wednesday, the NCLT said the companies had diverted funds—raised for specific purposes—to related parties, a serious violation of the Companies Act, 2013. 'The funds, raised for specified purposes by the companies, were illicitly transferred to various related parties, in gross violation of the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013,' the NCLT said, as reported by Live Mint. Widespread impact of fraud allegations The tribunal noted that 'the pattern of illegal fund diversion, asset misstatement, and share price manipulation has caused irreparable harm to public shareholders, creditors, and other stakeholders". The court's order is based on findings by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), and the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO). The MCA had sought 10 urgent actions in the case, which the tribunal has approved. The court said Gensol Engineering and related parties 'have committed grave violations of corporate governance norms", including 'diversion of company funds by the promoters and allegations of manipulating financial statements and illegal alienation of assets". The NCLT concluded that the MCA, Sebi, and SFIO findings 'prima facie support the petitioner's claims of systemic fraud involving substantial public interest,' and accordingly granted interim relief. The next hearing is scheduled for June 3. Personal liability for directors The MCA has invoked Section 339 of the Companies Act, which could make company directors and officers personally responsible for debts if fraud is proven. The tribunal also directed the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Indian Banks' Association to freeze the bank accounts and lockers of those under investigation. Further, the court barred the individuals and companies from selling, mortgaging, or transferring properties, securities, or valuables. Insolvency and past enforcement actions Earlier this month, state-owned Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (Ireda) initiated insolvency proceedings against Gensol over a loan default of ₹510 crore. Ireda has also approached the Economic Offences Wing (EoW) of the Delhi Police. The matter gained wider attention after Sebi, on April 15, barred Gensol's founders from trading in the stock market or holding leadership roles in any listed company. Sebi also ordered a forensic audit of the company. Sebi's investigation revealed that the Gensol promoters, Anmol and Puneet Jaggi, had allegedly used loans from Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and Ireda for personal expenses.

Controversial line calls at Singapore Open badminton hurts Indians but coaches advise Anmol Kharb and Kiran George to move on
Tai Tzu Ying would wander away and simply resume the next rally quickly. Akane Yamaguchi wouldn't even acknowledge that a point was lost and wear her oblivious expression. Even Carolina Marin, the tempestuous Spaniard, would grin cheekily, and carry on battling. If a line call did not go their way – as happens umpteen times in badminton with its non TV courts – they seldom argued or let it mess with their equilibrium. 'Just forget it and move on. There's nothing you can do,' is Pullela Gopichand's pithy advice to all Indians. On Tuesday he was courtside to deliver it himself to young Anmol Kharb, at the Singapore Open as she lost 21-11, 24-22 to Chen Yufei. India copped an unfair few on a terribly fraught Tuesday. Badminton, even at the highest levels – Singapore Open is a tier just below the top – does not offer review technology on all courts, and it's especially aggravating in early rounds with side courts on non TV days. In the first round of the Super 750, Anmol Kharb and Kiran George – yet to make a big mark on the international circuit – faced the worst of it. The opponents were both Chinese, and Kiran lost 21-19, 21-17 to Weng Hong Yang after leading 18-17 in the opener. But the takeaway was – as tough as it gets, 'The players have to accept the chair umpire's decision,' as his coach Sagar Chopda opined. Anmol viewed playing Chen Yufei as an opportunity, and after a tentative start she was at 17-17 in the second, sending down a straight smash past Yufei's absent backhand – a whipped hit that hilariously had the Chinese coach instinctively applauding before he froze and stopped. Anmol next employed the long rally which was troubling the Tokyo Olympic champion slightly in that she couldn't adequately tame the Indian's smart lifts and sent it wide. 19-17. Hopes of pushing a decider. Yufei pulled it back with a body attack on Anmol, but the Indian sent another drilling, proper smash to Yufei's left. 20-18. Nerves and finishing fright might have led to Anmol spraying the next smash way wide. A proper botch up. But in the next rally, playing extremely well with one set point intact, and making Yufei hustle, the Chinese sent a cross drop on the sideline, that Anmol thought landed out. Without replays, it was impossible to judge but it was ruled in, and the score was 20-20. Anmol's next return in the net was the worrying reaction that coaches fear mess with equanimity. 20-21. On a day when only PV Sindhu and HS Prannoy expectedly progressed, Anmol had the chance to take the Chinese star to the decider. She shrugged off the poor call, and played perhaps the best point of the match for 21-21. A push drop wrong-footed the always assured Yufei, whose anticipation skills and footwork are legendary. Another well constructed long rally saw Yufei go for broke, send a floater to the back corner, which Anmol believed had drifted out. The shadow of the shuttle was out, but even 20 repetitions wouldn't give clarity without Hawkeye summoned. This was Court 3, Day 1 – with no recourse to a review. Anmol tried arguing with the umpire, who had no intention of yielding. Mercifully, she didn't go to pieces. Anmol has one of the cleverest push-drops – which suddenly dips after crossing the net – and she sent one that caught the great Yufei in two minds and her feet in tangles. It was rather delightful as ripostes go. 22-22. Though the inevitable followed. Anmol sent the next sailing long, and though she tried what is essentially a pullback push-drop to Yufei's forehand net, a swell idea, the execution was imperfect and wide, and she went down 22-24, making Yufei labour for 50 minutes for her straight sets win. Poor line calls blighted Kiran George's match, a much closer 21-19, 21-17 margin in 47 minutes. The two horrendous line calls had a bearing, but it only highlighted how tough it gets at this level with badminton's rationed reviews. 'If they continue to argue then there's a possibility of a yellow card,' coach Sagar Chopda said, adding BWF needs to mull over cheaper review technology implemented on all courts and across all levels of tournaments. Parupalli Kashyap insists chances of calls being overturned are next to zilch. 'Just have to complain and make sure your voice is heard. So that it's not getting deliberate. Or the umpires are not taking it easy,' Kashyap says. 'The linesmen are doing their job the whole day from morning to evening for days together so there will be times when they are not focussed enough or haven't seen it properly,' he explains. 'That being said you can't do much once decision is given,' he says. It's part of the learning curve for young Anmol.

Meet Anil Ambani's son Jai Anmol Ambani, who revived father's debt-ridden companies and paid Rs 1 crore fine to....
Jai Anmol Ambani is the eldest son of businessman Anil Ambani and former actress Tina Ambani. While he grew up in a wealthy and well-known family, his journey hasn't been as smooth as it might seem. Despite carrying the powerful Ambani surname, Anmol has faced many challenges, especially after his father's financial troubles became public. In recent years, Anmol has taken on a more active role in the family business, trying to make a name for himself. However, it hasn't been easy. His father's bankruptcy issues, the downfall of several family companies, and some of his own legal troubles have made things tough. Anmol was born on December 12, 1991. His parents mostly kept him away from the limelight while he was growing up. He studied at the Cathedral and John Connon School in Mumbai, then went on to Sevenoaks School in the UK. Later, he completed a Bachelor of Science degree from Warwick Business School. From an early age, Anmol was interested in the world of business. But instead of jumping straight into the family empire, he took his time to learn how everything worked. His education abroad helped him understand global business better, but at the same time, he had to deal with the pressure of living up to a big legacy. Anmol Ambani's journey into business Anmol Ambani started his journey in the business world early. At just 18, he interned at Reliance Mutual Fund, where he got hands-on experience in the financial sector. By 2014, he officially joined the family business and began working with Reliance Mutual Fund. His career took a big step forward in September 2017 when he was made Executive Director of Reliance Capital. The following year, in 2018, he became a board member at Reliance Nippon and Reliance Home Finance. However, in 2019, both Anmol and his younger brother, Jai Anshul Ambani, stepped down from their roles at Reliance Infrastructure. Back in 2014, Anmol was said to have played a major part in Reliance's Rs. 12,000 crore deal to acquire Jaypee Associates' power assets. During this time, Reliance Capital's then-CEO, Sam Ghosh, guided and mentored him through the process. Those who worked with Anmol described him as someone who brought fresh, modern ideas and believed he had the potential to grow into a strong and capable leader. Anmol Ambani's SEBI fine In September 2024, Anmol Ambani found himself in legal trouble when SEBI, India's stock market regulator, imposed a fine of Rs. 1 crore on him. The penalty was for approving loans of Rs. 40 crore to certain companies without getting proper approval from the board, even though the board had already decided that those loans shouldn't be given. SEBI's investigation stated that Anmol didn't follow the right process and failed to act responsibly. While the matter was settled with the fine, it attracted negative attention. Sebi said that Jai Anmol gave approval for unsecured loan of Rs. 20 crores to Visa Capital Partners and Rs. 20 crore to Accura Production Pvt Ltd. Anil Ambani's Bankruptcy Anil Ambani made headlines when he declared bankruptcy in a UK court, revealing that he couldn't repay loans he had taken from Chinese banks. In February 2020, the court ordered him to settle the dues, but Anil stated that he no longer had the funds to do so. The matter was eventually settled through private agreements with some of the lenders, and formal insolvency processes were initiated for key companies like Reliance Communications. To manage the situation, the group was forced to sell off several assets. Although some debts were cleared, the once-sprawling business empire of the Ambanis was significantly scaled down.

Delhi Man Beaten, Stabbed To Death For Objecting To Sister's Relationship
New Delhi: A 27-year-old man was allegedly beaten and stabbed to death by a group of three persons in west Delhi's Khyala area after he objected to the relationship between his sister and one of the accused, a police official said on Tuesday. The accused have been identified as Anmol alias Hunny (23), Pritpal (25) and Piyush alias Pannu (23), the official said, adding that Pritpal has been arrested. The victim, identified as Ishmeet Singh, was brought to Deen Dayal Upadhyay (DDU) Hospital in an unconscious condition by his father on May 19 and succumbed to his injuries during treatment. "Preliminary inquiry revealed that the incident was triggered by a long-standing dispute between Ishmeet and the prime accused, Anmol, over the latter's relationship with Ishmeet's sister," a senior police officer said. Ishmeet's family had reportedly opposed the relationship and warned Anmol to sever ties. Ishmeet had also counselled him several times, which allegedly led to mounting animosity between the two. "On the evening of May 19, Ishmeet returned home and found Anmol and two of his associates - Pritpal and Piyush - standing near his residence. A fight broke out between them, which quickly escalated into a physical altercation," he said. The accused allegedly overpowered Ishmeet and began assaulting him with punches and kicks. During the attack, one of the assailants stabbed Ishmeet in his left leg, causing serious injury. The group fled the scene immediately after the assault. A case under relevant sections of the BNS has been registered. Multiple teams have been deployed to carry out raids in possible hideouts to trace and arrest the other accused.
