Mom, partner get life till death for murdering kids in 2018
CHENNAI: Seven years after a 33-year-old woman and her partner were arrested by the Kundrathur police for poisoning her two children to death, a special court in Kancheepuram, on Thursday, convicted and sentenced them to life imprisonment until death and slapped a fine of Rs 15,000 on each of them. The investigation carried out by the Kundrathur police found the children were killed by the woman, V Abhirami, as she felt they posed a stumbling block to her plan to live with her partner Meenakshisundaram, alias Sundaram, a vendor at a biriyani shop. The duo had hatched a conspiracy, and Abhirami poisoned the milk fed to the kids, causing their death. The complaint regarding the death of the children — Ajay and Karunika, aged six and four respectively — was filed by Abhirami's husband Vijay, a private bank employee and a resident of Kundrathur, in September 2018. The police said the woman had planned to elope with Sundaram after killing her children and husband, and that she had kept the poison-laced milk for Vijay as well. But, Vijay had a close shave as he didn't drink it, for he had work till late that night, the police said. Abirami and Sundaram were charged with conspiracy and murder and were arrested a few days after the case was registered. The Kundrathur police filed a charge sheet before the court after two months. As many as 25 witnesses were produced by the prosecution before the judge during the trial. The trial court found the prosecution, led by public prosecutor Sasirekha, had proved the charges beyond doubt, and convicted the duo.

Bank fraud case: Court orders auction of sports academy, land of ex-MLA
A special anti-money laundering court has ordered the auction of properties linked to former MLA Vivekanand Shankar Patil to facilitate repayment to creditors of a cooperative bank based in Panvel in Maharashtra's Raigad district. The properties, comprising a multi-acre sports academy and a land parcel in Panvel, have been attached by probe agencies in an alleged fraud of over Rs 512 crore at the Karnala Nagari Sahakari (cooperative) Bank. Patil, the prime accused in the case, represented Panvel as a Peasants and Workers Party of India MLA for three terms and was a legislator from Uran once. A total of 87 properties, including some ancestral assets of Patil, were attached under the MPID Act, or the Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (in Financial Establishments) Act, by Navi Mumbai police's Economic Offences Wing. The Enforcement Directorate (ED), which is also probing a money laundering case linked to the fraud, has dual attachment to some of these properties. Special PMLA Judge Satyanarayan Navander on Tuesday ordered the release of these attached properties, allowing a plea by the bank's liquidator. The liquidator had sought release of Karnala Sports Academy and a plot of land, both located in Panvel taluka, to discharge the bank's liabilities to its creditors, including depositors. All the parties, including the accused, had given their no objection to proceed with the auction of these properties. Given the consensus among all parties, the court deemed it proper to make the attachment of these two properties absolute. It then directed the immediate commencement of the auction process in the interest of the bank's depositors. The ED case is based on an FIR registered against Patil and 75 others in February 2020 by the Economic Offences Wing, which had alleged irregularities of Rs 512.54 crore in the Panvel-headquartered Karnala co-operative bank.
