Congress leader and former Union Minister Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has written a letter to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, demanding a thorough investigation into alleged malpractices and inhumane treatment at de-addiction centres across the the letter, Chowdhury alleged that some police stations are financially involved with certain de-addiction centres and that 'looting is taking place in the name of de-addiction.' He wrote, 'There is information that some police stations have financial dealings with certain de-addiction centres and looting is taking place in the name of de-addiction. People kept in these centres are subjected to severe mental torture.'advertisementChowdhury also detailed serious instances of abuse and torture within these centres. 'Those who are put in and stay in the Punishment Room face brutal abuse. They are given very little food, and four people are forced to bathe together naked, that too within a time span of 1 to 2 minutes,' he said. Chaudhary further claimed that the inmates lack basic human rights and hygiene facilities. 'The inmates do not have enough space to sleep properly, and are not allowed to use the toilet whenever they need to, with access allowed only once every 3 hours, and that too, for a short duration. They are made to drink water from the tube-well which is foul-smelling and unhygienic,' Chowdhury also accused the centres of extorting the families of the inmates. 'When a family member visits an inmate, a fee of Rs 400 is charged for the meeting. In the case of each in-mate, exorbitant amounts of money are demanded, ranging from Rs 8,000 in some cases to Rs 24,000, which can stretch up to even Rs 47,000. At the time of release, an additional Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000 is charged.

Huge sums of money are being earned by those running the centres, with the connivance of those in Authority.'He specifically named Disha Home in Berhampore, located near Panchanantala, as one of the centres allegedly involved in such concluded his letter by urging Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to launch a comprehensive investigation into the allegations.- EndsMust Watch IN THIS STORY#West Bengal

Inquiry report exposes irregularities in Nemom Service Cooperative Bank
Thiruvananthapuram : An inquiry into the irregularities surrounding Nemom Service Cooperative Bank, held as per Section 65 of Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, revealed fraud committed by members of the society's administrative panel. The report states that the bank received investments worth Rs 112 crore and Rs 52 crore were given as loans. Most of these loans were benefited by the accused and also by people close to them. However, not even a single penny was repaid, the report said. As per report, former secretary Balachandran Nair's wife P K Sreekala took loans worth Rs 10 lakh. A R Rajendran, who is also a former secretary, along with his wife Sreejakumari, children and son-in-law, also took loans worth lakhs of rupees. Some of the accused took loans up to Rs 25 lakh from the bank by pledging properties. However, they soon got the documents released with the help of the then secretaries. The existing liabilities of the loans at the bank were not marked in the encumbrance certificates even as the accused took loans using the same documents from other banks.

They collected the interest on the deposit but did not repay the interest or the loan amount. Even the elections of panel members did not comply with the rules, the report said. No general body meeting was held at the bank since 2018, the report added. Using the documents of properties of people who took loans from the bank, the accused took other loans without their knowledge.

But the accused appointed their kith and kin at various positions at higher salaries and the bank incurred a loss of Rs 14.21 lakh because of this. The fixed deposit (FD) receipts have to be certified by the secretary, but here even retired staff were found to have certified FD receipts. "The report reveals grave irregularities, and the accused must be brought before the law at any cost. Measures must be taken to provide money back to the depositors," said Santhivila Mujeeb Rahman, patron of the depositors' forum. There are as many as six accused in the case. Former secretary of the bank S Balachandran Nair and former president R Pradeep Kumar were arrested earlier. The third and fourth accused former secretary A R Rajendran and cashier Vasanth along with two other board members are still absconding and the search has been intensified for them," said the probe team.

Man in jail plots RTI activist's murder in Ghaziabad, 4 he hired held
1 2 Ghaziabad: Three persons were arrested on Saturday and Sunday in connection with allegedly trying to kill RTI activist, Amit Kishore Jain. The fourth accused was already held earlier this week. According to police, the four accused are Ashwani alias Dilawar, Amit Yadav, Priyanshu Gautam alias Yash, and Priyanshu Teotia. On July 2, police nabbed Teotia and sent him to judicial custody. Based on the interrogation, it was revealed that Anurag Garg, an accused named in the FIR and already in police custody, allegedly hired them to murder Jain. The case stems from a June 17 complaint by Jain, a resident of Ramprastha Colony, who complained that unknown assailants fired at him with the intent to kill, leaving him injured on Link Road. A case was registered under BNS sections 61 (conspiracy), 109 (attempt to murder), and 232 (threatening false evidence).

He also paid them an advance amount of Rs 50,000 with the promise of the remaining Rs 4.5 lakh upon completion of the job. Following this transaction, the accused conducted a thorough study of Jain's residence, carefully studying the layout and surroundings of the property in preparation for the planned attack. After confirming the location's viability, the accused decided to execute the murder on June 16, 2025. Ashwani and Teotia were equipped with firearms and ammunition, with Ashwani retaining the Lava mobile. Following the plan, Yadav and Gautam dropped Ashwani and Teotia on an Apache motorcycle at Ramprastha Colony. After shooting Jain outside his home, the duo disposed of the weapon during their escape and subsequently hid the gun, motorcycle, and mobile phone at different locations before reporting the completed task.
