Police impostors kidnap hospital director, demand 55L ransom
Rajkot: One of the directors of a hospital in Chotila, Rama Badmaliya, was allegedly kidnapped and threatened with false charges of carrying out prenatal sex determination tests unless she paid Rs 55 lakh by four persons, three of whom posed as policemen from the special operations group in Gandhinagar. Bhavnagar district sanitary inspector Ranjit Mori, his driver Pradeepsinh Parmar, a pregnant woman, an unidentified man and others are listed as accused in the FIR. According to the FIR, the accused posed as officers of the Special Operations Group (SOG) from Gandhinagar and entered the hospital on Monday. They proclaimed that the hospital was conducting illegal prenatal sex determination tests — which Rama firmly denied. Rama, who has been managing the hospital for 17 years with her partner Munna Gilani, said the group stormed into the hospital at about 9.00am. Two men first entered the hospital's medical store, run by Rama's son, Abhishek, and questioned his credentials. Rama was informed of the commotion and returned from her residence. She was confronted by Ranjit Mori, who showed her an SOG ID. He was accompanied by his driver and a pregnant woman. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Поза во сне может многое рассказать о вашем характере! Удивительные Новости Undo The group took Rama to her office, seized her phone and recorded a video claiming that a prenatal sex determination test and financial transaction had occurred — all staged using the pregnant woman. The accused threatened her with jail time and the arrest of her entire family unless Rs 55 lakh was paid. The demand was later reduced to Rs 40 lakh. Rama was then forced into an SUV and driven away. A video was filmed near the Jalaram Mandir, making it seem as if she was casually having tea with them. A WhatsApp call was made from her phone to coordinate the ransom payment. Meanwhile, Chotila police were alerted at about 3.00pm. They tracked down the accused using the WhatsApp call logs from Abhishek's phone. Rama was rescued and Ranjit Mori and Pradeepsinh Parmar were caught at the meeting spot. Police said Rama was kidnapped between 10.30am and 10.45am. The operation was led by investigating officer R M Sangada after intelligence was received on the extortion plot. On Wednesday, both accused were produced before court, where police sought seven days of custodial interrogation. The scope of involvement of the pregnant woman and unidentified man is also being probed.

Desiree Ellis praises Banyana Banyan a veteran Lebogang Ramalepe ahead of Wafcon quater-finals
BANYANA Banyana wingback Lebohang Ramalepe is challenged by Aicha Samake of Mali during the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations match on Monday. | BackpagePix Image: BackpagePix WHEN Banyana Banyana scored four unanswered goals against Mali in their final Group C match of the Caf Women's Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) on Monday, the world of football surely felt that the team that they have come to know had finally arrived in Morocco but coach Desiree Ellis was more impressed by veteran defender Lebogang Ramalepe. The 33-year-old went away with a Player of the match award after two assists and a goal in Oudja to send the defending champions to the quarter-finals against Senegal on Saturday. That match will also be played at 9pm after the match between Algeria and Ghana at 6pm. Ramalepe, one of the legends of Banyana and South African women's football with over 100 caps for the national team, has played all three group matches at wingback - a more forward role than her usual right back.

Next Stay Close ✕ Ellis had nothing but praise for the player known affectionately as Rama in football circles. 'We've seen Rama at Mamelodi Sundowns play at wingback as well,' said Ellis. 'We're fortunate that she can play in that forward role because it is similar to when she is playing at fullback, (but this position) I think it just gives her more freedom to play further up the field and to create space and assist without shedding her defensive duties. 'It is the same with Karabo (Dhlamini) as well on that left side. You can see the combinations with Gabriel (Salgaldo) when she came on. It was good to see her (Ramalepe) get more minutes and to score.' Ramalepe's game trademark has always been her endurance, tactical intelligence and attacking instincts, which has over the years benefitted the likes of Ma-Indies, Sundowns and Banyana. After the game she was quoted by saying: 'The win for the team is something we worked so hard for. We knew it was not going to be an easy game. The three points really made things easy for us,' she said, before she reflected on he Player of the match award. 'It really showed that I did my best. It was also a collective effort. I would like to thank my teammates.' As they had to the knockout stages, Banyana will again be put under scrutiny as it happened with their last group outing, in which they needed a positive result after drawing 1-1 with Tanzania in their second match in Oudja. 'It's not going to be an easy game. It's a knockout stage and a matter of trying to stay composed,' reflected Ramalepe. '(We will have to) play our normal game and make sure we convert our chances — then we will be heading to the semifinals.'
