Notorious goon, accused in murder case, arrested from Betul
The incident occurred past midnight on June 30.
According to police, Naseem was brought back to Bhopal from Betul, during which he attempted to escape police custody three times. While being taken to his residence as part of the investigation, he even jumped from a roof in a bid to flee, resulting in a fractured leg. Despite the injury, he was produced before the court and was remanded to three-day police custody for further interrogation.
Past midnight on June 30, Naseem, along with his accomplices Wasim and three others, arrived in Liladhar Colony on two motorcycles. A confrontation broke out between the group and Raja Khatik and his associates. During the altercation, Naseem opened fire using a country-made pistol. Of the three rounds fired, one misfired, while two bullets struck the deceased Amit Verma, 22, who later died from the gunshot wounds.
The police investigation revealed that Naseem, Wasim, and Raja Khatik previously worked together in robbery cases. Tensions escalated after a dispute over the division of loot money between Raja and Nadeem, Wasim's brother. Following a physical assault on Nadeem by Raja, Naseem and his gang reportedly decided to take revenge by targeting Raja. However, during the shootout, Amit Verma was fatally shot.
Before the murder, the accused were also reportedly seen brandishing swords and arguing with pedestrians on VIP Road.
Bhopal Police Commissioner Harinarayanachari Mishra announced a reward of Rs 30,000 for information leading to Naseem's arrest. Teams from Crime Branch and Zone-4 were deployed in search of the accused, ultimately resulting in his capture from Betul.

From The Hindu, July 10, 1975: Special IT squads to study posh houses
New Delhi, July 9: Special income tax squads have been appointed in the four metropolitan towns of Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta and Madras to check unaccounted money invested in luxury houses. The special squads have been appointed in accordance with the Prime Minister's 20-point economic programme. The special squads will consist of a number of units depending upon the area to be covered in each metropolitan town. To begin with these squads will function in more posh and conspicuous localities where there has been a spurt in the recent past in the construction of luxury houses. The special squads will collect information about the land, its sale price, the plinth area, the number of stories constructed and other details. This will be followed by spot inspection by income-tax officers and executive engineers who will immediately report the variations in the estimated value of the property and the actual value of the property given by the owners. Where the properties are either not disclosed or where the difference in valuation is 15 per cent of the squad valuation or Rs. 25,000, whichever is more, action will be initiated for realisation of income-tax or wealth tax as the case may be, along with arrears and penalties. Each inspection squad and the income-tax authorities concerned have been asked to submit fortnightly reports of the action taken. The appointment of the special squads is in addition to the action initiated by income-tax authorities to discover tax evasion through under-valuation of properties for purposes of sale.

Demolition of Chhangur Baba's mansion in Balrampur continues on day 2
1 2 3 Lucknow: The Balrampur district administration continued the demolition of the lavish mansion linked to Chhangur Baba, the alleged mastermind of a religious conversion syndicate operating in Uttar Pradesh, for the second consecutive day on Wednesday. The structure, located in Madhpur village under Utraula police station, is registered in the name of his close associate Neetu Rohra alias Nasreen, who is also under investigation. According to revenue officials, nearly 75% of the illegally constructed building on govt land was razed. The remaining 25%, which includes key portions of the fortified premises, is scheduled to be demolished on Thursday. The operation involved the use of 10 bulldozers. The illegal construction findings led officials to demolish 1,500 square feet of unauthorized structure inside the nearly Rs 3 crore estate, located on the Utraula–Mankapur main road. The mansion, spread across three bighas, includes over 70 rooms and halls, with 40 rooms marked as illegal. A total of 2,041 square feet of the property was declared unauthorized by the administration. Of this, 1,500 square feet were already razed over two days—1,000 sq ft on Tuesday and 500 sq feet on Wednesday. The remaining portions, including part of the hall, main gate, and boundary wall, will be demolished on Thursday, according to Tehsildar Rajendra Bahadur. The team found a mini power station inside the property, high-end foreign-branded items in the bathrooms, and a tethered horse inside the premises. Six German Shepherd dogs were initially taken by villagers but returned after a police warning. The opulence inside the mansion was evident—luxurious tiles and imported marble, a 15x15 feet modern kitchen, plush sofas, imported furniture, 10 CCTV cameras, a 500-meter private driveway, and an electrified perimeter wall to prevent trespassing. Chhangur Baba was arrested by the ATS on July 5 from Lucknow, along with his female associate Neetu alias Nasreen, after being on the run. Nasreen, whose conversion Baba allegedly orchestrated, was the legal owner of the mansion. The ATS suspects the mansion served as the operational base for Baba's illegal religious conversion network, which targeted vulnerable individuals, particularly Hindu women. ATS gets 7-day custodial remand of mastermind, accomplice Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) secured a one-week police custody remand of the key accused, Jalaluddin alias Chhangur Baba, and his close aide Neetu alias Nasreen. The remand was granted by the NIA court to facilitate further investigation into the wide network, funding sources, and operational details of the conversion syndicate.
