BJP councillors, police clash during march to corporation office over laptop graft allegation
Thiruvananthapuram: The protest march by BJP activists and councillors towards the corporation main office on Saturday turned violent as they clashed with police over allegations of corruption in a laptop distribution initiative run by the civic body. The agitators accused the administration of misappropriating public funds meant to benefit students and demanded a transparent probe. As the march reached the gates of the corporation office around 11.30am, police used water cannons to disperse the crowd. The situation grew tense as some protesters attempted to jump over barricades, prompting further police intervention. The police and the protesters even had a scuffle before the cops forced them to disperse. The protest, which was inaugurated by BJP district president Karamana Jayan, follows dramatic scenes from Thursday's corporation council meeting, which turned chaotic after LDF councillors levelled serious graft charges against two BJP councillors, Punnakkamugal's P V Manju and Pappanamcode's G S Asha Nath. The councillors were accused of illegally diverting Rs 2 lakh collected as user fees by Haritha Karma Sena. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo The council meeting descended into disorder when BJP councillors disrupted proceedings in protest. Some reportedly stormed the mayor's dais and allegedly manhandled deputy mayor P K Raju, resulting in the abrupt suspension of the session. Following the incident, the corporation secretary lodged a formal police complaint. In Saturday's protest, Museum police registered a case against the demonstrators. Defending the protest, BJP leaders claimed the corporation's laptop initiative was mired in corruption and a betrayal of student beneficiaries. The corporation, however, refuted the allegations, calling the protest a politically motivated attempt to divert attention from the corruption charges against BJP members. "We followed proper procedures for procurement and distribution," said a senior official of the corporation. "Let there be a performance audit, but there is no room for such political theatrics and violence," the official added.

Poonthura woman loses lakhs in Jordan visa scam
Thiruvananthapuram: Amid moves to hand over the probe into the Jordan visa fraud to crime branch, a Poonthura-based woman on Saturday alleged that the accused in the case defrauded Rs 4 lakh from her and her husband by offering them Israeli work visas, last year. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The accused, Biju Jalas, 44, of Thumba, took John Mary, 48, and her husband Romance, 52, to Jordan on Jan 7, 2024, promising Israeli work visas with an attractive salary. After reaching Jordan, the couple were placed in separate congested rooms for nearly three weeks without proper food and water. In the meantime, Romance died of a heart attack. Mary struggled to bring his body back home as the agent did not provide her any help. "I went through the toughest days of my life. Communication was also difficult as I did not even know the language there. We boarded the flight dreaming of a better life and to provide excellent education to our daughters. But his death shattered me completely, and the loss was something irreversible. The Indian Embassy in Jordan helped me travel back to India with his body, but I had to arrange an additional Rs 5 lakh. I became even more in debt, and the thought that I was alone in the journey ahead affected my mental health. No person should suffer like this. The agent made us believe that the cost of an Israeli visa is much less in Jordan and the process was also easier. But it was a lie. He deserves maximum punishment," said Mary. She said that when she requested her money back, the accused refused to provide her any. The fraud came to light only on Feb 10, 2025, after Thumba native Thomas Gabriel Pereira, 47, was shot dead by Jordanian soldiers while attempting to sneak into Israel through the Jordan border. His brother-in-law, Edison, 44, was also injured in the leg in the firing. Edison was later deported back to India by Jordan, and it was he who informed the relatives about Thomas's death. Poonthura natives Jincy, 32, her husband Norman, 35, Ajeesh, 28, Judit, 29, and Binu, 22, were also reportedly cheated by the same accused. All of them had to leave Jordan after failing to get Israeli work visas.
