Patna hospital murder: Gangster in Bengal jail hatched plot with help of Chandan Mishra's family associate

Hans India2 days ago
Kolkata: Bihar-based gangster Onkarnath Singh a.k.a. Sheru, who is currently behind bars at a correctional home at Purulia district in West Bengal, reportedly planned the murder of his opponent, Chandan Mishra, in a hospital in Patna with the help of the latter's family associate.
As per the sources in the West Bengal Police, one of Mishra's family associates, who is still the 'missing link' in police terms, supplied crucial information to Sheru regarding Chandan Mishra's parole details.
'That missing link was also reportedly responsible for convincing Mishra to get admitted to the Paras Hospital in Patna as per instructions of Sheru so that the latter could plan and execute the murder easily,' the state police insider said.
According to him, Sheru and Chandan had together committed various crimes in Bihar's Buxar area. After that, differences erupted over various issues between the two friends, which ultimately led to their fallout. They both decided to part ways and start their respective gangs. Eventually, the two became enemies.
State police sources further said Sheru had used the close associate of Chandan, who was lodged in Beur jail, to monitor the movements and activities of the latter. "This associate was involved in the murder conspiracy. The person supplied crucial information to Sheru, which was used to plan the murder," said a police source.
After receiving news that Chandan was being released on parole for 15 days, Sheru hatched a plan to murder him.
The police have learned that Chandan sought medical advice from his family associate, who also happened to be a close associate of Sheru. On Sheru's instruction, that person advised Chandan to get admitted to Paras Hospital in Patna. Accordingly, Sheru hired Tauseef alias Badshah for the murder.
Tauseef, the prime accused, and three others were arrested from Kolkata on Saturday in a joint operation by the Bihar Police and Special Task Force (STF) of West Bengal Police.
Police sources said that Sheru first asked Badshah to find out which hospital would be convenient for them to execute the murder. "Badshah had suggested Paras Hospital in Patna as he was born and raised in the Phulwari Sharif area of Patna. He knew the area like the back of his hand, and Paras Hospital is not far from there. Sheru told Chandan's family associate about it. The associate then asked Chandan to get treated at Paras Hospital," said the police source.
It was also learned that Badshah had visited one of his associates undergoing treatment at Paras Hospital several times in the last few days. He had learned about the lack of security in the hospital and chose it as a convenient place to conduct the operation.
After killing Chandan Mishra, Badshah and his associates entered Bengal from Bihar at Sheru's advice.
"We are looking for that associate. The phone calls and WhatsApp chats of others, including the arrested Tauseef, are being examined to get information about that person," said a police officer.

ED raids call centres in Chandigarh Tricity running tech support scam

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday said it had conducted midnight searches on multiple illegal call centres operating in the Chandigarh Tricity region. These centres were duping foreign nationals by offering fraudulent tech support services. According to the ED, the companies had created overseas counterparts to receive payments from unsuspecting customers through payment gateways. The funds were then routed to India through formal banking channels as well as hawala. While the firms advertised services such as web designing and fixed wireless internet, they did not disclose details of promoters or staff. Many employees lacked the technical expertise normally associated with software or BPO services, indicating that the operations were entirely clandestine. One such entity, FSAL Technologies Pvt Ltd, was found running a fake call centre through an overseas front named Bios Tech in the United States. It falsely claimed to provide support for Microsoft, HP printers, routers, and other hardware. However, its director, Faisal Rashid Peerzada, failed to produce any agreements or authorizations from Microsoft, HP, or Arlo to offer such services. Investigators found that FSAL was controlling the backend of Bios Tech's website and monitoring payments received from foreign customers. Another associate, Arshdeep, a friend of Faisal, was listed as the director of Bios Tech. 'Similarly, Terrasparq and Visionaire, operated by Sahu Jain, have been running similar tech scams since 2016. Jain's sister, Ms. Priya, owns a US-based company, CTS Mobility, which acted as the overseas counterpart. ED officials recovered emails and WhatsApp chats showing the creation of fake Microsoft popup alerts and periodic fraudulent credit card transactions from foreign customers for non-existent services,' said an ED statement. The websites of these companies claimed to offer services such as mobile device management, network and device management, and Device-as-a-Service (DaaS), but provided no promoter details. Photographs displayed on the websites portrayed large IT park offices, which were contrary to the reality. The ED has confirmed that further investigation is underway. The directors are likely to be summoned for questioning, and more action is expected as the probe into the multi-crore tech support fraud progresses.

Digi arrest: Delhi cops arrest Kol loan manager

Kolkata: Buddhadeb Hazra, a loan department manager, was arrested in the city by Delhi Police, with help of Kolkata Police and Barrackpore Police, for allegedly orchestrating more than 10 digital arrest fraud cases across six states. The arrest was carried out after a Delhi-based doctor lost nearly Rs 15 lakh in this crime. The arrest follows the arrest of his accomplice, Md Sahin Khan, from Bangalore's Victoria Hospital on July 2. Hazra, who completed his postgraduate MBA degree in Ghaziabad, previously worked in the loan departments of various banks for over three years. Under the influence of one John, Hazra reportedly started recruiting corporate account holders for online fraud operations. The investigation began when a Delhi doctor filed a complaint at the Cyber Central District police station, reporting that he fell victim to a "digital arrest" scam. The victim was coerced into transferring Rs 14,85,921 by fraudsters impersonating govt officials who threatened legal action.

Life convict on parole dies

A life convict, who had been enlarged on parole, died on Thursday. Police said former village assistant Sankaranarayanan, 68, of Mangalakudiyiruppu under Thatchanallur police station, was awarded life imprisonment in a honour killing case. As he suspected that a woman had helped his son for marrying a railway worker despite his opposition, Sankaranarayanan murdered the pregnant lady. After a court here awarded him death sentence, it was commuted to life imprisonment by the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court. Sankaranarayanan, who was out on parole, had to return to Palayamkottai Central Prison on July 20. But, he was found near the railway track close to Balaji Avenue in Thatchanallur on July 19 evening with serious injuries and admitted to the Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital for treatment, where he died on Thursday. Police suspect that Sankaranarayanan might have ended life by jumping in front of moving train.
