Gujarat: 27 TN pilgrims stranded on flooded causeway rescued in overnight operation

BHAVNAGAR: In an overnight operation, 29 persons, including 27 pilgrims from Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, were rescued from a bus that was stranded on a flooded causeway in Gujarat's Bhavnagar district, officials said on Friday. The bus got stuck on the raised path on a stream near Koliyak village on Thursday evening, said District Collector RK Mehta, who was at the spot to supervise the rescue operation that went on for nearly eight hours. The pilgrims were headed towards Bhavnagar city after visiting Nishkalank Mahadev temple near the village. Due to heavy rains in the region, the causeway on the river was submerged. Despite that, the bus driver decided to cross the river, said Mehta. However, due to the force of the water, the front of the bus dipped into the river while the rear remained stuck on the causeway, he said. During the operation, rescuers reached the site in a mini-truck and transferred all the 27 pilgrims from the bus, its driver and cleaner to the vehicle through the rear window of the bus, he said. But there was more challenge ahead. The mini-truck carrying the 29 persons also got stranded on the causeway, said Mehta, adding that most of the pilgrims were senior citizens. We then sent a large truck and transferred these 29 persons on that vehicle. Around 3 am, after nearly eight hours, all of them were brought to safety. We provided them with accommodation and food in Bhavnagar. We have also conducted their medical tests, said the collector.

Ahmedabad Diary | BJP faces backlash in Vadodara in viral video

The ruling BJP has been grappling with protests following recent rains in Vadodara. In a viral social media video, Bhartibehan, a woman reportedly linked to the ruling party, accused BJP MLA Keyur Rokadia and other leaders of corruption. She said, You leaders collect money through scams, but what about ordinary citizens? In the video, Bhartibehan asked Rokadia why he speaks of the past, referencing 1972-75, when Vadodara has consistently voted for the BJP over the last 30 years. BJP candidates have won in every poll. Gujarat has had a BJP government for three decadeswhat has been accomplished? she asked. MP writes to Collector over officials neglect In Chhota Udepur district, there is a buzz that officials are ignoring the regions leaders. A letter circulating on social media has fuelled the buzz, raising concerns that officials are not engaging with the public or meeting elected representatives.

'OTP for injection': How a patient at Gujarat hospital was tricked into taking BJP membership

AHMEDABAD: A startling revelation has emerged from Visnagar Civil Hospital in Gujarat's Mehsana district, where a patient seeking treatment was reportedly made a BJP member without consent. The incident came to light after the hospital staff allegedly took the patient's mobile number and requested an OTP while the patient was receiving an injection. A video of the event has gone viral on social media. In Guj, a patient goes to civil hospital to get an injection. There, he was asked to share an OTP that he received on his mobile. The moment he shared the OTP, he received a message that he got enrolled as the BJP member as part of ongoing membership drive. #politics pic.twitter.com/5CaymsOAdM Mahesh Langa (@LangaMahesh) September 18, 2024 The BJP's ongoing Primary Membership Campaign - 2024 is facing growing scrutiny as fresh controversies emerge. Another video surfaced on Tuesday showing Bhavnagar corporators allegedly offering money to those who enrol new BJP members. Now, in a separate incident at Visnagar Civil Hospital, a patient seeking an injection was reportedly enrolled as a BJP member without her knowledge. According to the patient's husband, he along with his wife named Prakash Ben Darbar visited the Visnagar Civil Hospital on Wednesday for an injection after she was reportedly bitten by a dog. This morning, I took my wife to Visnagar Civil Hospital, and for the first time, we were asked for an OTP to get an injection. Initially, we were told to check in at the registrar, and when we proceeded for the injection, the hospital worker requested an OTP. I asked why it was needed, and they replied, 'If you want the injection, you must provide the OTP.' When I questioned this rule, they claimed it was a new civil hospital regulation, Vikumbha Darbar, the patient's husband told local media after the incident. It soon came to light that the staff at the hospital were allegedly collecting OTPs to enrol people as BJP members. I gave the OTP, trusting it was part of the hospital procedure, but shortly after, I received a message confirming BJP membership. I immediately realized it wasn't related to the hospital and confronted the worker, saying, 'This is for BJP membership, not the hospital.' The worker left without a word. I told the hospital staff they were acting unlawfully, Darbar recounted. The civil authorities, however, denied receiving any complaints regarding the incident. Visnagar Civil Hospital Superintendent Parul Patel told local media, I have not received any formal complaint regarding this incident. I became aware of it only after seeing the video. I also discovered that the employee involved is not a permanent staff member. There is no BJP membership activity happening at the hospital. The individual in question was recently placed here by an external agency. Meanwhile, in a viral video that surfaced on Tuesday, Yuvraj Singh Gohil, former chairman of the BMC Standing Committee in Bhavnagar, has sparked widespread attention on social media. In the video, Gohil is heard offering a deal, stating, Make 100 BJP members and take 500 from me. The incident was also widely discussed and has become the talk of the town.

Patel instructed the collectors to remain alert and ensure the safety of people and their livestock by constantly monitoring the rainfall situation, the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) stated. Amid forecasts for more rains in the state, Chief Secretary Raj Kumar chaired a review meeting on Sunday evening. The India Meteorological Department has predicted heavy to very heavy rains in Gujarat over the next week.

The chief secretary said the administrations should remain especially vigilant in places where people are likely to gather in large numbers considering the upcoming festivals during Shravan month to avert any rain-related tragedy. Local administration should also ensure that roads closed due to flooding are restored immediately and electricity supply is not disrupted for long. With the current spell of rains, districts in south Gujarat have received over 105 per cent of the average annual rainfall so far, the highest in the state. Eight districts of south Gujarat and Saurashtra have received more than 100 per cent of their average annual rainfall.

Hyderabad: 36 Arrested in Major Crackdown on Online Fraud

Hyderabad: In a major crackdown on online fraud, Hyderabad police have arrested 36 persons from Gujarat in the last two months for their involvement in cases of investment fraud, courier fraud and other internet based crimes. These individuals were accused in 20 cybercrime cases registered in police stations across Hyderabad, including 11 cases of investment fraud, four each of trading fraud, courier fraud and one case of 'know your customer' (KYC) fraud. Just these 20 cases amount to Rs 12.49 crore in crime proceeds. These 36 arrested persons have 983 cases registered against them in the country. Hyderabad police has frozen Rs 4.4 crore funds of the accused and returned `1.5 crore to the victims. More Rs 2.90 crore is set to be returned to the victims. In a press meet on Saturday, police commissioner Kothakota Sreenivas Reddy appreciated the efforts of the cybercrime personnel. Our cyber cell received a complaint from a 74-year-old woman doctor who stated that the accused contacted her through a video conference call posing as police officials from Andheri, Mumbai, and stated that there is a case against her in a money laundering case, Srinivas Reddy said. The fraudsters demanded the victim to come to the Andheri police station for questioning and threatened to arrest her if she failed to do so. Later, the fraudsters agreed to question her through a video call and sent her letters with forged letterheads of the Reserve Bank of India, the Supreme Court and the Central Bureau of Investigation. The victim panicked and transferred Rs 1.6 crore in two separate bank accounts, the details of which were provided by the accused, the commissioner said. The accused in this case were identified as Sagar Goradhanbhai Prajapati of Surat, and Parmar Kirit Nathubhai of Bhavnagar in Gujarat. They said one Deepak Rawat from Kolkata had helped them open a current bank account which they used to cheat people. On May 22, Prajapati deposited Rs 2.15 crore in multiple bank accounts. Upon analysing the bank account details, police found that 10 police cases were registered against the holder of the same bank account, which helped in cracking the case. Police seized Rs 10,08,000 in cash, 17 cheque books, 22 debit cards of different banks, among others. The same police team busted an online investment fraud with the arrest of Chudasama Kuldeepsinh Anopsinh, Jedeja Daivatsinh Kiritsinh and Sinojiya Ketan Sureshbhai from Rajkot, Gujarat. The victim, a local from Ramkote, lodged a complaint with the city police stating that fraudsters contacted him through WhatsApp and told him of 500 per cent profit plan. They lured him to invest `2 crore. In a separate investment fraud, the police arrested another two fraudsters involved in an investment fraud from Surat. The accused targeted and defrauded `60,88,730 from a 60-year-old retired man from Begumpet. The prime accused Kanani Nikunj Kishore Bhai is a chartered accountant. The other accused Pravinbhai Kalubhai Vasoya had sent the message to the target. The cyber crime team seized Rs 27,20 lakh in cash, bank cheque books and accounts from the possession of the accused.
