Rtd engr duped of 1cr in land fraud
Lucknow: A retired assistant engineer of the UP Awas Vikas Parishad has lodged a complaint with the Lucknow Police Commissionerate, alleging that a gang of fraudsters duped him of nearly Rs 1 crore using forged documents related to govt land. The complainant, SB Tripathi (65), a resident of Virat Khand, Gomtinagar, claimed that when he demanded his money back, the accused threatened to kill him. In his complaint, Tripathi said that on March 1, 2024, one Devesh Dev Bhatt and his associate, Rita Rai, approached him with an investment proposal. They introduced him to Ajay Kumar Dixit of Bada Chandganj and Mohammad Siraj of Sheikhapur, Aliganj. The accused allegedly showed him a fenced property near Rahimnagar Chauraha, claiming that the 9,230 square metre plot was jointly owned by Azhar Sultan of Farrashkhana, Wazirganj, who held legal ownership and power of attorney from other co-owners. The gang allegedly produced eight registered power of attorney documents, purportedly signed by the co-owners, and convinced Tripathi to invest his retirement corpus in a partnership with Dixit and Siraj. Believing their claims, Tripathi made multiple payments between April and June 2024, amounting to nearly Rs1 crore. Tripathi said he became suspicious when he was asked for additional funds to execute the sale deed. Upon verification at the Sadar Tehsil, he discovered that the land in question actually belonged to Hewett Polytechnic and was government property. Police have launched a probe into Azhar Sultan, Mohammad Siraj, Ajay Kumar Dixit, Devesh Dev Bhatt, and Rita Rai.

Five of bike theft gang active in Indore, Dewas held
Indore: Lasudia police have busted a notorious gang of motorcycle thieves active in Indore and Dewas with the arrest of five people. Also, 34 stolen motorcycles worth Rs 22 lakh, were recovered from them. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Additional DCP Amrendra Singh said that acting on specific input, police arrested five persons involved in a series of two-wheeler thefts reported at several police stations in Indore and Dewas. During the operation, police also seized equipment used to tamper with engine and chassis numbers, along with three motorcycles that were already altered with fake identification numbers. The gang members, who learned motorcycle theft techniques from a Kanjar settlement at Piplarawa in Dewas, initially stashed the stolen vehicles in abandoned buildings and isolated spots within the city before delivering them to buyers based on demand. The accused used tools such as grinders, gas lighters, chisels, and specialised dyes to erase original numbers and stamp. So far, 19 FIRs were linked to the recovered motorcycles. ACP Aditya Patel said a team led by inspector Taresh Soni began intelligence gathering after receiving alerts on July 13 about a gang operating in Lasudia area and across Indore using Kanjar-style methods of bike theft. On the same day, two gang members — Abhishek Malviya (22) and Kailash alias Golu (24) — were arrested near Scheme 136 with a stolen bike and an illegal knife. Both sustained minor injuries while trying to flee. During questioning, the duo revealed that they were trained in Piplarawa and were active in thefts over the past couple of years. They confessed to selling bikes on demand, especially to one Jenpal Singh Sendhav (39) of Talod village, who was also arrested for buying and reselling the stolen motorcycles in rural markets, Patel said. The ACP said later, two more accused — Rahul Malviya (23) and Anil Panwar (22)— both involved in the theft and modification of the bikes were arrested. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The accused revealed that they would cut ignition wires, hot-wire motorcycles parked in isolated places, and later hide them in vacant property until a buyer placed an order. Each of the accused played a specific role ranging from theft to tampering and selling. The massive haul includes vehicles registered in police cases across Lasudia, Vijay Nagar, Heera Nagar, Kanadia, Khajrana, Tilak Nagar, and several police stations in Dewas district.

Dalit youths allege illegal detention and custodial torture by cops in MP
Bhopal: Four Dalit youths accused police in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur district of illegal detention and custodial torture. The youths alleged they were stripped, beaten for four days, and had chilli powder rubbed into their private parts to force a confession in a theft case. The victims, residents of the Kanjadpur Dharampura area, stated they were returning from a housewarming ceremony on July 15 when they stopped to urinate by the roadside. A Dial-100 police vehicle allegedly picked them up without explanation. One youth, who is disabled, was released, while the remaining four were taken to the police station, hung upside down, beaten with belts, and tortured. Police had previously claimed to have arrested five individuals for stealing transformer oil. The incident prompted protests by Bhim Army workers and the victims' families, who marched to the SP office demanding action under the SC/ST Act and the suspension of the accused policemen. A sit-in was held outside the SP office, where authorities responded by locking the gates and cutting power to the premises. DIG Lalit Shakyawar later visited the site and assured that a medical examination would be conducted and action taken after investigation. Three of the victims have since undergone medical tests. "We have asked a senior officer to investigate the matter. CCTV footage from inside the police station is being examined," said Chhatarpur SP Agam Jain. Families also alleged that one of the five detained youths is missing and feared he may have died in custody. A victim's father-in-law further accused the police of threatening him with arrest and eviction from govt land if the protest continued. Former Congress MLA Neeraj Dixit also visited the protest site and demanded justice. A heavy police force from multiple stations was deployed. Investigations are currently underway.
