Jharkhand: East Singhbhum DC instructs BDOs, CIs to probe list of Maiyan Samman Yojana beneficiaries
Following a preliminary inquiry, Mittal said it has come to notice that several beneficiaries of the scheme had received funds through the same bank account — an act in violation of the scheme's guidelines.
"All BDOs and CIs have been directed to verify the list of bona fide beneficiaries within their respective jurisdictions and submit a report to the district headquarters within three working days," an official statement said.
According to the statement, two or more beneficiaries were found to have availed the benefits from 2,912 bank accounts across the district.
The highest numbers of such cases were reported from the following circles and blocks: Potka , Jamshedpur Circle , Golmuri-cum-Jugsalai , Mango Circle , Ghatsila , Bodam , Chakulia Block , Gurabandha , Patamda , Dumaria , Baharagora , Musabani , Dhalbhumgarh and Chakulia Circle , the statement added.
Issuing a strict warning, Mittal said, "Such irregularities will not be tolerated at any cost. The names of ineligible beneficiaries will be removed from the list, and the amount disbursed will be recovered from them."
He further warned that departmental action would be taken against any official or employee found involved in such fraudulent practices.
The Maiyan Samman Yojana aims to financially empower needy and eligible women, and the benefits are meant to reach the rightful recipients only.
The district administration also appealed to the public and recipients of the scheme to provide accurate information.
"If anyone has knowledge of irregularities under the scheme, they should come forward and inform the administration, which will take prompt action," the statement added.

Businessman gets life for Pinjore murder disguised as accident
1 2 Chandigarh: In a chilling reminder of how deep-seated grudges can turn deadly, a sessions court in Panchkula on Friday sentenced 65-year-old businessman Sanjeev Kumar Arora to rigorous life imprisonment for the cold-blooded murder of trader Narinder Kumar Mittal — a crime masked as a road accident but rooted in a bitter property dispute. Arora, who ran over Mittal with his SUV in Pinjore in Sept 2020, was also fined Rs 25,000 by the district and sessions judge Ved Parkash Sirohi. Mittal, a trader from Sector 26, Panchkula, was found dead near his mangled scooter on a slip road near the HMT premises in Pinjore on September 27, 2020. At first glance, it looked like a tragic accident. But something didn't sit right with the police — and certainly not with Mittal's son, Sachin Jain. As investigators combed the scene, a broken piece of a number plate — later traced back to Arora's SUV — cracked open the case. Sachin, who identified his father's body at the mortuary, told police that Arora had long harbored a grudge over a residential property in Baltana. His father had even complained of being followed and threatened. The police acted swiftly. Arora was arrested, and during interrogation, he confessed to the crime and led police to the exact spot where it occurred.

While the defence pleaded for leniency, Tanwar pushed for an exemplary sentence — and the court agreed.

Panchkula man sentenced to life for murder over property dispute
The Sessions Court in Panchkula Friday sentenced 65-year-old Sanjeev Kumar Arora to life imprisonment for the murder of Narinder Kumar Mittal, a businessman, in a deliberate hit-and-run incident on September 27, 2020. The verdict, delivered by Sessions Judge Ved Parkash Sirohi, also imposed a fine of ₹25,000 on Arora, with an additional year of simple imprisonment in case of non-payment. The case, registered under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at Pinjore police station, stemmed from a property dispute. According to the prosecution, Arora harboured a grudge against Mittal over a house transaction in Saini Vihar, Baltana. Mittal's son, Sachin Jain, had purchased the property from Pinki, but Arora claimed he had an agreement to sell the same house and demanded that Mittal execute a sale deed in favour of his chosen buyer. When Mittal refused, Arora allegedly threatened him and his son, leading to escalating tensions. On the morning of the incident, Arora, driving his Maruti Brezza, intentionally struck Mittal's scooter from behind on the Panchkula-Shimla Highway near HMT, Pinjore, causing fatal injuries. The prosecution, led by advocate Akash Tanwar, presented compelling circumstantial evidence, including a broken number plate of Arora's car found at the scene, CCTV footage from Chandimandir Toll Plaza showing his vehicle near the crime scene, and a Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) report confirming that plastic pieces from the site matched the grill of Arora's car. The court noted that Arora failed to explain the presence of his vehicle at the scene, strengthening the case against him. Despite defence arguments that the incident was an accident and that the prosecution failed to prove motive due to the death of key witness Sachin Jain, the court relied on the chain of circumstantial evidence. The judge said that the absence of an eyewitness did not weaken the case, as the evidence unerringly pointed to Arora's guilt. The court also dismissed claims of procedural lapses, affirming that the prosecution had established the intentional nature of the act. During the sentencing hearing, Arora's counsel pleaded for leniency, citing his age, health issues, and status as the sole breadwinner for his wife and three children. However, Akash Tanwar, the public prosecutor, argued that the gravity of the crime warranted stringent punishment to deter similar offences. Judge Sirohi, agreeing with the prosecution, sentenced Arora to rigorous imprisonment for life, emphasising the deliberate and malicious nature of the murder. The court ordered that the period Arora spent in detention during the investigation and trial be set off against his sentence. The case property is to be disposed of after the appeal period or in accordance with any appellate court ruling. A copy of the judgment was provided to Arora free of cost, and the case file has been consigned to the record room.
