The Telangana Rising 2047 Global Summit brought together policymakers, industry leaders, and global experts to chart a long-term vision for the states inclusive and sustainable growth. Organized by the Government of Telangana, the summit focused on the future of urban development, economic expansion, and equitable access to housing. As real estate plays a crucial role in shaping the states urban transformation, the sessions dedicated to affordable housing saw strong participation from both government and private-sector representatives. Ajitesh Korupolu, Founder & CEO of ASBL with Sri Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, Honble Minister for Revenue, Housing, and Information & PR, at the Telangana Rising 2047 Global Summit ASBL s Founder and CEO, Ajitesh Korupolu , was invited as one of only two developers from Hyderabad to join the distinguished panel discussion on Investing in Inclusion: Prospects in Affordable Housing. The conversation explored how Telangana can address the growing demand across EWS, LIG, MIG, and rental segments while encouraging private sector participation. Ajitesh brought a data-driven and structural perspective to the discussion, beginning with the need for the government to simplify the land side of the ecosystem, particularly in core city areas where the government holds significant greenfield and brownfield parcels. He emphasized that slum lands, which today informally serve affordable demand, can become strong formal housing assets if ownership structures are streamlined. He also highlighted how Hyderabads high-FSI regime is a key reason the city remains one of Indias most affordable metros, comparing per-sq-ft costs with cities like Bengaluru and Gurugram to showcase Hyderabads relative strength. Building on this, Ajitesh stressed that future affordable housing models must balance ownership and rental pathways. With rising EMIs and limited financial bandwidth among households earning under INR 10-12 lakhs annually, he argued for a structured rental housing model supported by cap rates of 7-8%, backed by global institutions like IFC and ADB that already fund such initiatives. He emphasized that government innovation should focus on land ownership reforms, while developers must invest in R&D and construction efficiency. Speaking about technology, he noted that prefabrication is likely to become the most viable future solution for large-scale housing, provided transportation costs are optimized through decentralized manufacturing yards. He also pointed out the need for construction-worker training schools to adapt to new technologies as the sector transitions into more advanced building methods. 1 trillion economy ambition. His core message for public-private partnerships was summed up in a clear principle: The objective of the entire PPP model should be that the government does not lose money, the private sector makes money, and people find solutions. The panel also included an interactive segment where innovators were encouraged to participate in solving on-ground challenges. Responding to a question on construction automation, Ajitesh invited young entrepreneurs to collaborate with ASBL, noting active interest in technologies like autonomous tower cranes and RMC automation due to nationwide workforce shortages. He reiterated the companys openness to supporting such innovations with real use-cases and potential capital participation. In conclusion, the Telangana Rising 2047 Summit underscored the urgent need for cross-sector collaboration to expand the supply of quality, affordable housing. Ajitesh Korupolus participation highlighted both ASBLs growing leadership role and the importance of market-aligned, technology-driven solutions in shaping the future of housing in Telangana. The discussions at the summit are expected to inform the states upcoming Affordable Housing Policy, aimed at making urban growth more inclusive, efficient, and future-ready.

Gujarat police nabs murder convict absconding for nine years from Haryana
AHMEDABAD: After evading arrest for nine years after jumping parole in a wife-murder case, a life-term convict has been arrested by Surats Sachin Police in Haryana, ending one of the forces longest manhunts under an operation codenamed Operation Prison. Surendra Kallu Prasad Verma, sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife back in 2007, was traced and arrested following a meticulously planned crackdown that pieced together old case files, ground intelligence and sustained surveillance. In 2016, Verma was released on parole but failed to return to prison, choosing instead to disappear and evade authorities for nearly a decade. His parole jump forced police to reopen the case as a live manhunt, tracking his movements across multiple states. To crack the case, the Sachin Police launched Operation Prison, reviving decade-old leads and retracing the accuseds movements starting from his native Beohra village in Chitrakoot district of Uttar Pradesh. Investigators found that Verma had deliberately cut off contact with his parents and brother, leaving even family members unaware of his whereabouts. As part of the operation, police pasted Vermas photographs at rickshaw stands in Karvi taluka, acting on inputs that he had worked as a rickshaw driver. The strategy yielded partial success when a rickshaw puller informed police that Verma had appeared in Shankarganj about six months earlier for his brother-in-laws wedding, had remarried, and had briefly lived as a tenant in Navi Duniya Bankat. Subsequent raids, however, failed as Verma had already moved again. Fresh intelligence eventually placed him in Ghata village in Gurugram, Haryana. A Sachin Police team travelled to the village, operated in plainclothes, posed as locals and maintained surveillance for nearly eight hours. Verma was finally apprehended when he stepped out to buy biscuits for his son, unaware that police were closing in. Confirming the arrest, Assistant Commissioner of Police N P Gohil said, This accused believed that by changing locations, identities and cutting off family ties, he could escape the law. Operation Prison was launched to prove the opposite. After nine years of sustained effort, we have ensured that a life convict who jumped parole is finally back in custody. He added that inter-state coordination, local intelligence and on-ground verification were crucial to the operation. Such arrests send a clear message, no matter how long it takes, absconding convicts will be traced and brought to justice, the officer said. With Verma now in police custody and legal procedures underway to return him to prison, Sachin Police have closed a long-pending case while underscoring that time, distance and disguise cannot keep fugitives beyond the reach of the law.

The officials claimed that they had suspected that a hundred illicit bottles would be found, but the quantity of seized goods left them shocked. Deputy Excise and Taxation Commissioner Amit Bhatia claimed that this is the largest illegal stock of foreign liquor ever seized in the state and added that more raids and arrests are expected as the investigation progresses.

Antara Senior Living Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Max India Limited, has joined hands with Max Estates to exclusively manage the senior living residences and amenities at Estate 361 - a forest-themed, wellness-first 18.23-acre development along the Dwarka Expressway, which is one of Gurugrams most rapidly emerging corridors. This marks Antaras second project with Max Estates after the milestone success of Estate 360, Delhi-NCRs first intergenerational community, wherein 292 residences for seniors were sold out in just 11 months. The recently launched Estate 361 will have a total of 360 senior living units and will also have a curated integrated wellness centre combining modern medicine with ancient Indian wisdom to impact quality of life of Seniors. The Antara Integrated Wellness Centre brings together primary healthcare - in-house doctors, 24x7 nursing and paramedics, emergency services, ambulance, specialist consultations - with wellness programmes including Ayurveda, homeopathy, naturopathy, acupressure, acupuncture, UV therapy. By combining modern medicine with the wisdom of traditional therapies, Antara will enable seniors to access proactive, preventive and personalised care which grows with them. Explaining the concept, Mr. Rajit Mehta, MD & CEO, Antara Senior Care , said, Ageing is a second coming of empowerment. Its a phase where seniors rediscover their aspirations and themselves. Its also a stage marked by increased need for physical, emotional and social wellbeing. With so many seniors navigating chronic conditions, mobility challenges and emotional vulnerability, wellbeing must be clinically guided, compassionate and woven into everyday life. Ageing actively calls for purpose designed communities. This is where intergenerational living embedded with integrated wellness can play an impactful role. Senior living models, like the one at Estate 361, can help Indias ageing population stay active, engaged and confident for longer. At Antara, our mission is to build senior care ecosystems that bring all this together so seniors can age with dignity, ease and joy. Designed with nature and wellbeing at its core, Estate 361 offers over 250,000 sq. ft. of forest greens, water bodies and sensory pathways carefully planned to enhance cognitive, emotional and physical health. It has 200,000+ sq. ft. of planned amenities for active ageing, including dedicated sports and recreation facilities: paddleball courts, golf putting greens, all-weather swimming pool, hydrotherapy pool, a senior-focused gym. The Antara Club will have our Residents Engagement Team curate year-long calendars of activities based on residents interests and passion. The senior living residences are designed with accessibility in mind to promote autonomy. They feature wheelchair-friendly layouts, rounded wall edges, anti-skid flooring, strategically placed grab bars, senior-friendly elevator bays with lavatories and rest seating, panic alarm buttons, centralised fresh air circulation and glare-free lighting. Living is made truly hassle-free with the little things taken care of by Team Antara: Gourmet dining, Ghar ka Khaana facility, dietician-planned nutritious meals, laundry and even housekeeping, all done with Sevabhav. India is reaching a demographic and social inflection point. The countrys senior population, according to the ASLI-JLL report Elevating the Golden Years, is projected to rise from ~147 million in 2024 to nearly 350 million by 2050. As per the UNFPA, the fastest-growing senior segment - the 80+ population - is expected to surge by 279% (1) . Simultaneously, Indias traditional care ecosystem of joint families is being replaced by nuclear families leaving families overwhelmed with care responsibilities, or seniors ageing alone with one in three reporting depressive symptoms or loneliness. Together, these factors signal an urgent need for structured, professionally managed senior living solutions. All these factors, NRI investment and the increased investor interest in senior living underscore a decisive transition: India is actively seeking dignified, dependable, holistic senior-living environments, not piecemeal services. Backed by the Max Groups expertise in healthcare, hospitality and real estate, Antara is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation. About Antara Senior Care Launched in 2013, Antara is the senior-care business of Max India Limited, part of the $7-billion Max Group. It is an integrated ecosystem for senior care, operating in two main lines of business Residences for Seniors and Assisted Care Services. Antaras first senior residential community in Dehradun, comprising nearly 200 families, caters to their social, recreational, educational, wellness, and health-related needs. In the near future, it will open its second senior living community in Noidas Sector-150, with families moving into the 340 apartments built in the first phase. Expanding its footprint in Gurugram, Antara will manage senior living residences, dedicated spaces for senior living, and primary healthcare services at Estate 360 and Estate 361, developed by Max Estates. Antaras Assisted Care Services include Care Homes, Memory Care Home, Care at Home and AGEasy.

Its Care at Home services, offered in Delhi NCR, Bengaluru and Chennai, provide well-equipped, trained professionals offering care to seniors inside their homes comfort. AGEasy, an online and offline store focusing on senior-specific products and solutions to manage chronic health conditions at home, has touched over 5 lakh lives since inception in 2023. india.unfpa.org/sites/default/files/pub-pdf/iar_2023_rgb_web.pdf

Repo Rate Slashed to 5.25 percent; Softer Rate Cycle Reignites Demand Across Real Estate Sector
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has unanimously cut the repo rate by 25 basis points, bringing it to 5.25 percent. This marks the fourth rate reduction in 2025, totalling a cumulative 125 bps cut since the start of the year. This decisive move comes against a backdrop of easing inflation, stable growth, and an eagerness to boost liquidity and credit flow. For homebuyers, particularly those looking at affordable, mid-income, or even premium housing across NCR and other urban corridors, this signals a fresh wave of affordability. As banks adjust lending rates, borrowers with floating-rate home loans may soon see lower EMIs, reviving demand and giving impetus to property purchases. The softer interest rate environment is thus set to underpin stronger housing demand through the remainder of 2025 and into 2026, a period likely to see many fence-sitters finally turning into homeowners. Repo Rate Slashed to 5.25 percent; Reignites Demand Across Real Estate Sector Real-estate developers welcomed the decision, noting that it could accelerate demand, convert cautious buyers into committed ones, and provide the needed boost to both residential and commercial launches in the coming year. Sandeep Chhillar, Founder and Chairman, Landmark Group , says, " The RBI bringing the repo rate down by 25 basis points marks a strong pro-growth signal and undoubtedly benefits the real estate sector. With home loan rates likely to fall further, affordability will improve, especially for first-time homebuyers. This move is expected to reignite demand, sustain buyer interest, and create a favourable environment for continued growth across the housing market. " Umang Jindal, CEO, Homeland Group , says, The 25 bps rate cut is a welcome breather for the industry, especially at a time when growth is spreading beyond metros. In Tier-II cities, were seeing families upgrade to better homes and businesses look for organised commercial spaces. This reduction nudges both trends forward. It lowers borrowing costs, improves sentiment, and makes it easier for developers like us to fast-track mixed-use neighbourhoods where people can live, work, and shop within the same ecosystem. As we head into 2026, Tier-II markets are set to witness stronger absorption, better retail activity, and sustained demand for quality residential projects driven by aspiration and improved affordability . Sehaj Chawla, Managing Director, TREVOC Group , says, The cumulative softening of rates with the latest 25 bps cut bringing the effective lending environment to 5.25 percentfrom 6.50 percentlast year marks a total reduction of 1.25 percent, which is a major boost for homebuyers. Lower borrowing costs directly translate into higher purchasing power and faster decision-making. Supported by stable inflation and strong GDP momentum, this move sets the stage for accelerated growth across the real estate sector . Harinder Singh Hora, Founder Chairman, Reach Group , says, " Retail thrives on consumer confidence, and the RBIs move to bring the repo rate down to 5.25 percentis exactly the sentiment boost the sector needed. For developers, this signals a stronger investment climate, easier access to capital, and faster decision-making from brands planning expansion. We anticipate higher leasing activity across high-streets, malls and experience-led retail centres in Gurugram, as occupiers move quickly to secure prime spaces before the new year. By 2026, this policy shift will contribute significantly to a more vibrant, liquid, and future-ready retail ecosystem across NCR, benefiting both developers and brands ." Shyamrup Roy Choudhury, Founder and Managing Director, Aura World , says, The 25 bps rate cut is a highly encouraging development for the luxury housing segment, where sentiment and confidence play a far larger role than affordability. Affluent buyers tracking macro trends will view this as a strong green signal to advance large-ticket purchases. Further, the reduced rate will strengthen liquidity for developers building high-spec, design-led communities. As we look toward 2026, luxury housing will continue gaining momentum, powered by wealth creation, asset diversification, and Indias rising global economic position. Ankit Kansal, MD, 360 Realtors , says, The recent decision by RBI to lower the Repo Rate is a welcome step, as it will enable reduction in home loan rates and make property more affordable in numerous urban corridors such as MMR, NCR, Bangalore, Pune and Chandigarh. The inflation rates are benign, and the economy appears to be on a strong footing marked by healthy agrarian output, a rise in rural demand and strong corporate savings. In such a situation, it is seemingly a prudent move to lower the REPO rate and infuse liquidity in the market . Ashwani Kumar, Pyramid Infratech , says, " The 25 bps cut, especially after two consecutive status-quo policy announcements, signals a renewed push toward affordability and market confidence. For Gurugrams end-user-driven corridors, this will encourage families who were delaying decisions due to rate uncertainties. As we enter the year-end buying cycle and prepare for 2026, this move is set to enhance absorption across well-connected micro-markets and support long-term stability in premium housing ." Azad Ahmad Lone, President, Business Development and Operations, Biigtech , says, " The RBIs 25 bps repo rate cut couldnt have come at a better time for NCRs commercial sector. Cities like Noida-Greater Noida are becoming Indias most credible alternative to traditional commercial hubs, due to strong connectivity, a deep talent pool, and highly competitive rentals. Were seeing GCCs and global MNCs actively exploring sizeable office mandates here. This rate reduction will only make capital deployment smoother for new Grade A offices, high-street clusters, and integrated workretail spaces. Moving toward 2026, we expect sharper pre-commitments, longer leases, and a robust pipeline of institutionally backed commercial assets ". As the market absorbs the implications of the RBIs 25 bps rate cut, the momentum clearly tilts toward a more active and confident real estate cycle. Lower EMIs, improved liquidity, and a sentiment boost across buyer segments position the sector for a healthier close to 2025.
From a Vision to a Trusted Name - The Inspiring Journey of Property Master and Its Leadership Duo
In 2009, when Faridabads real estate was buzzing with possibilities, homebuyers and investors still longed for guidance they could genuinely trust. It was in this moment of opportunity that two driven entrepreneurs, Paras Rai and Goldi Arora, came together with a shared vision to redefine how people experienced property decisions. They believed the market deserved more clarity, more honesty, and a more professional approach, and they set out to deliver exactly that. From a modest office with big dreams, they built Property Master on the simple but powerful idea that real estate should feel transparent, reassuring, and human. Over the years, this vision has expanded beyond Faridabad to Mohali and Gurugram, helping clients across multiple regions navigate real estate with confidence. From a Vision to a Trusted Name The Inspiring Journey of Property Master and Its Leadership Duo Founders Complementary Strengths What truly fuelled Property Masters rise was the complementary strength that Paras Rai and Goldi Arora brought into their partnership. Goldi, a graduate of MJP Rohilkhand University, stepped into real estate with a natural flair for people, communication, and business development. Over the years, he built an impressive network of satisfied clients and some of the biggest sellers in Greater Faridabad through his honest dealings, strong relationships, and instinctive marketing expertise. As Managing Director, he led from the frontdeveloping new services, strengthening client connections, expanding the companys reach, and nurturing a 50-member marketing team with tireless dedication. Complementing him perfectly was Paras, a Delhi University commerce graduate with a diploma in IT who brought a structured, analytical approach to real estate advisory. Paras quickly earned a name as a transparent, detail-oriented professional whose financial acumen helped investors make informed, profitable decisions. His deep involvement in portfolio management, asset planning, and investor education steadily grew the companys investor base and reinforced Property Masters reputation for credibility. Beyond business, both founders share a strong commitment to social welfare and community upliftment. Together, Goldi and Paras form a formidable leadership duoone driven by people and strategy, the other by finance and precisionshaping Property Master into a brand built on trust, expertise, and purpose. Building Property Master as a Trusted Brand From the early days of shared ambition, Property Master steadily grew into one of the most trusted real estate advisory brands across Faridabad and Mohali, driven not by scale alone but by the ethics, diligence, and transparency that defined its founders. What began as a two-member venture soon evolved into a 100+ strong team, each individual aligned with the companys customer-first philosophy and commitment to doing right by every buyer and investor. Over the years, Property Master expanded its reach, representing more than 150 projects and building strong collaborations with leading developers across the region. Its services grew with the needs of its clients, spanning buying, selling, leasing, registration support, investment consultation, and complete documentation handholding. Through every step, the goal remained simple and unwavering: to make real estate decisions clearer, easier, and more trustworthy for everyone who walked through their doors. Ethos That Builds Property Master At the heart of this growth lies an ethos that has remained unchanged since day oneintegrity above all else. Property Master earned its reputation not through grand promises but through honest conversations, ethical dealings, and the assurance that every recommendation came from a place of responsibility. This sincerity became its strongest differentiator, inspiring long-term relationships with clients who returned again and again, often bringing friends and family through referrals. Each repeat customer became a testament to the trust the brand had built. By upholding professionalism and offering clear, transparent advisory at every step, Property Master set new benchmarks in Faridabad and Mohalis real estate ecosystem, proving that when a business is grounded in values, trust naturally follows. Leadership With Purpose What strengthens Property Masters identity even further is the leadership with purpose.

Goldi has long been involved in social welfare initiatives, dedicating time and resources to uplift weaker sections of society through hands-on community work. Paras, too, has consistently supported charitable causes, contributing generously to initiatives focused on education, healthcare, and social well-being. Their shared commitment to giving back reflects a leadership ethos rooted in humility, responsibility, and purpose beyond profit, shaping Property Master not just as a respected brand but as a values-driven organisation that stands for more than business. Scaling the Vision Building on their strong values and human-centric leadership, Property Master steadily evolved into a go-to real estate advisory not only in Faridabad but also in Mohali and Gurugram, serving homebuyers and investors seeking clarity, confidence, and trustworthy guidance. Its success lies in a combination of transparent processes, expert advisory, deep market knowledge, and a relentless customer-first approach, complemented by robust partnerships with leading developers. In Gurugram, the company has established a strong presence in key micromarkets, including SPR, New Gurgaon, Golf Course Road, Golf Course Extension Road, and Sohna Road, providing both residential and investment solutions. At the helm, Paras and Goldi continue to balance each other perfectly; Paras brings financial insight and investor-focused strategy, and Goldi steers marketing, business development, and relationship-building. Together, their complementary strengths ensure that every client experience is not only professional and profitable but also reassuring and seamless, making Property Master a name synonymous with trust across multiple regions. Looking Ahead Property Master remains committed to its mission of simplifying real estate decisions for every buyer and investor, ensuring clarity, confidence, and peace of mind at every step. The company envisions expanding its services, embracing technology to enhance client experiences, and deepening its reach across Faridabad and beyond. Guided by the same values and leadership that shaped its journey, Property Master aims not just to advise but to become a trusted partner in every property journey, helping clients navigate the complexities of real estate with expertise, integrity, and a human touch.

After Delhi blast connection, Nuh linked to MP cybercrimes
BHOPAL: Haryanas Nuh district, which is under glare as an operational base of the white-collar terror module linked to 10/11 Delhi blast case, has also come out as the nucleus of Madhya Pradeshs biggest-ever inter-state cybercrime ring. MP polices cybercrime unit has traced masterminds of the racket to Nuh. The cyber fraud ring involved over 1000 bank accounts of people in Vindhya and Mahakoshal region of MP, being used as mule accounts to park and circulate fraud money. More than 25 people from MP, Haryana and Bihar have been arrested and charge-sheeted. As the investigations progress, its becoming clear that operatives based in Nuh are the masterminds of the racket. They sourced SIM cards and mule accounts mostly from MP and used them for their inter-state racket, said a MP police involved in the probe. The men in Nuh operated an illegal call centre at a flat in Gurugram, which was used to make calls to people for duping them. The SIM cards, sourced by operatives in MP and other states, reached the kingpins through middlemen based in Patna. The mule bank accounts served as the pipeline through which more than Rs 3,000 crore was routed. The funds were actually proceeds of cybercrimes committed in various parts of the country, religious charity money as well as money from unknown sources suspected to have been used possibly for terror funding. Large sum of money was routed through mule accounts to the Middle East, the officer added. The fraudsters also operated shell companies in Hyderabad and parts of Maharashtra. The 25-plus men arrested over the last 11 months have been charge-sheeted. Now we are going to zero in on the racket masterminds in Nuh, he said. Years back it was Jamtara in Jharkhand, but crackdown saw newer hotspots in West Bengal. Over last couple of years Nuh and adjoining Rajasthan districts have emerged as the cybercrime hub, SP (cybercrime cell) Pranay Nagwanshi said.
Haryanas Nuh emerges as key operational base in white-collar terror module
BHOPAL:The Nuh district of Haryana has emerged as an alleged hideout, operational base for sourcing materials and recruitment ground for the white collar modules operatives. This comes against the investigations' progress into the white-collar terror module and the 10/11 Delhi blast case. The same southeastern Haryana district has also turned out to be the nucleus of Madhya Pradeshs biggest-ever inter-state cyber crime ring, which was busted by the police in early 2025. As the MP polices cyber crime unit accelerates its probe into the inter-state racket, men operating from Nuh (Haryana) have emerged as the kingpins and masterminds, which is believed to be worth more than Rs 3000 crore. Anatomy of a white collar terror module The cyber fraud ring involved more than 1000 bank accounts of people in the Vindhya and Mahakoshal region of MP, being used as mule accounts to park and circulate fraud money and hundreds of SIM cards sourced from MP were used by cyber fraudsters for committing crimes across the country. More than 25 persons, hailing from MP, Haryana and Bihar, have so far been arrested and charge-sheeted in the court in MP. The men in Nuh (mostly school dropouts) operated an illegal call centre at a flat in Gurugram, which was used to make calls to people for duping them via various kinds of cyber-crimes, including job offers, gaming and cryptocurrency investment frauds, etc. The SIM cards, which were sourced by the rackets kingpins from their operatives in MP and other states, reached through middlemen based in the Bihar capital Patna. Cybercrime police bust ATM card cloning racket, nab onefrom Haryana The bank accounts, which were used as mule accounts (around 70 per cent of them were originally held by low-income people in MPs Vindhya and Mahakoshal regions), served as the pipeline through which more than Rs 3,000 crore was routed to various destinations. The funds which were rotated through these accounts were actually proceeds of cybercrime committed in various parts of the country, religious charity money, as well as money from unknown sources suspected to have been used possibly for terror funding. A large sum of money was actually routed through the mule accounts to the Middle East, a MP police officer added. The men operating from Nuh even operated shell companies/firms in Hyderabad and parts of Maharashtra. These shell firms/companies were particularly used for cyber fraud and the transfer of illicit money. The 25-plus men who have been arrested in the case over the last 11 months have already been charge-sheeted in the court. Now we are going to zero in upon the real kingpins/masterminds of the racket in Nuh, the officer maintained. As per MP police sources, its not the first time that Nuhs name has cropped up in a major cybercrime case. Nuh has gradually emerged as a prime cybercrime hotspot in the country. Years back, it was Jamtara in Jharkhand, but a sustained crackdown witnessed newer hotspots emerge in West Bengal, adjoining parts of Odisha and later some parts of western UP. But over the last couple of years, Nuh in Haryana and adjoining districts of Rajasthan have come out as the prime cyber-crime hub of India, Madhya Pradesh polices SP (state cyber crime cell) Pranay Nagwanshi said. Children are linked to cybercrime in at least three of every 3,000 cases, say experts

RISE Infraventures began in 2021 as a young idea with big conviction, but it has quickly grown into something far more significant than a real estate advisory firm. Today, it stands as a leadership-driven institution that is actively reshaping Gurugrams realty ecosystem. In a market long dominated by traditional brokerage practices, RISE has brought in professionalism, structure, and a values-first mindset that feels refreshingly different. The leadership duo behind RISE Infraventures Two Minds with One Vision At the heart of this transformation are the two minds who envisioned a better way forward: Sachin Gawri and Shantanu Gambhir. Sachin Gawri, the Founder & CEO , brings the instinct of a strategist sharpened by years in sales, marketing, and frontline dealmaking, along with an unwavering commitment to good governance in real estate. Shantanu Gambhir, the Managing Director and Co-founder , complements him with decades of experience as a wealth manager and a financial strategist who understands risk, returns, and long-term value like few others do. With expertise in sales, negotiations, and financial strategy, Shantanu leads from the front, ensuring that RISE remains agile and future-focused. Together, their combined expertise spans investments, advisory consulting, market intelligence, and relationship-building. But what truly defines their partnership is a shared belief in doing things the right wayanchored in transparency, innovation, and a deeply customer-first approach. It is this alignment of vision and values that has set the tone for RISEs culture and its remarkable journey so far. The Shared Vision: Redefining Indias Advisory Landscape What unites Sachin and Shantanu is a clear and uncompromising vision: to redefine real estate advisory in India by making it ethical, data-driven, and deeply relationship-oriented. They believe the sector deserves far more than transactional interactionsit deserves clarity, consistency, and advisors who genuinely understand long-term value. Guided by this conviction, they set out to build a 360-degree advisory that seamlessly serves residential buyers, commercial occupiers, and serious investors. For them, RISE was never meant to be just a sales engine; it was envisioned as a platform that simplifies decision-making, brings credibility to every touchpoint, and introduces a structured, transparent approach in a market that has often struggled with opacity. RISEs Reputation Today, RISE works alongside the countrys most respected names: DLF, Emaar, Central Park, Godrej, Adani, Sobha, Tata, Lodha, M3M and many more, reflecting the credibility it has built in a short span. Its expanding network of over 3,000 channel partners further amplifies its reach and reliability, creating an ecosystem where information flows transparently and opportunities scale seamlessly. The Leadership Synergy At the centre of RISEs journey is a mission that guides every conversation and every recommendation: building an advisory model where trust is the true currency. Sachin and Shantanu have hardwired transparency into the organisationwhether its pricing clarity, honest inventory insights, responsible project selection, or continued handholding long after a sale is closed. Their belief has always been that real estate decisions shape lives, and therefore advisors must prioritise long-term relationships over short-term wins. This philosophy influences everything at RISE, from the way teams are hired and trained to the partners they choose to associate with. Building a Culture of Excellence At its core is a high-energy environment powered by young, driven teams who thrive in a fast-paced ecosystem that rewards performance, fresh ideas, and ownership. This dynamism is supported by a 360-degree leadership ecosystem, with seasoned professionals like COO Bhupindra Singh, CSO Ajay Malik, CBO Sonakshi Wadhawan, and Retail Head Manish Srivastava, whose expertise strengthens execution, strategy, leasing, and the companys nationwide expansion roadmap. Complementing this is a formidable sales leadership bench with VPs Mohit Gawri, Sumit Choudhary, and Kapil Chugh, who serve as the organisations backbone. Their ability to close complex, high-value transactions while sustaining long-term relationships has been instrumental in RISEs consistent momentum. Besides, across the company, a strong culture of learning and discipline ensures that advisors are constantly leveling up through training, market intelligence deep-dives, and financial literacy sessions, all reinforced by direct mentorship from senior leadership. And binding everything together is a simple non-negotiable: ethics first. Every recommendation, every detail shared, every deal closed is grounded in integrity, accurate information, and transparent communication, ensuring that trust remains the organisations most defining asset. Why Developers Trust RISE Infraventures For developers, RISE has become a partner they can count on. Its teams consistently deliver qualified, conversion-ready leads backed by sharp insights into pricing strategy, product positioning, and evolving investor sentiment. The firms track record of closing high-ticket transactions with speed and precision has further strengthened its credibility among top developers. Just as importantly, RISEs ethical communication and accuracy of information significantly reduce developer-side risks, ensuring that every campaign, sales mandate, or leasing engagement is handled with professionalism and clarity. This combination of performance and integrity is why developers increasingly view RISE as a strategic ally. Why Homebuyers Choose RISE Infraventures For homebuyers, RISE represents as a trusted guide in one of lifes most significant decisions. Every advisor is trained to put the customer first, prioritising long-term security and value over short-term sales targets. RISE has built a reputation for responsible recommendations, promoting only projects that meet standards of stability, credibility, and clarity. From the first discovery and site visit to documentation, handholding, and even resale guidance, the firm offers end-to-end support, making the homebuying journey seamless, reliable, and stress-free. The Road Ahead RISE Infraventures is entering a new phase of growth that extends far beyond Delhi-NCR. With plans for nationwide expansion across commercial, residential, and investment verticals, the firm is sharpening its focus on corporate leasing, GCC clients, and high-street retail advisory, creating a truly comprehensive service ecosystem. Guided by the ambition to achieve a billion-dollar valuation, the strategy remains rooted in structured advisory excellence rather than rapid scale alone. At its core, RISE envisions becoming Indias most respected ethics-led real estate advisory, setting a benchmark for professionalism, integrity, and long-term value creation across the industry.
Data-Driven Leasing: How Tenant Mix Drives Retail ROI
The retail real estate landscape is evolving into a far more intelligent and intuitive ecosystem. Instinct and legacy brand appeal are now being complemented and often guided by sophisticated data insights. Developers today are mapping catchment behaviour, footfall patterns, spending profiles, and dwell times with precision, using these indicators to curate experiences rather than just lease spaces. Amid this scenario, the tenant mix has become a refined exercise in strategy, bringing a balance between aspiration and utility. By aligning fashion, F&B, entertainment, and daily retail needs through data-led decisions, developers are maximising both engagement and return on every square foot. Data-Driven Leasing: How Tenant Mix Drives Retail ROI According to data from Cushman & Wakefield, retail leasing across top eight cities has reached about 2.41 million square feet (msf), growing by 7.6% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) and a massive 45% year-on-year (YoY). The Delhi-NCR region is among Indias top three retail markets, clocking 0.51 msf of leasing - a huge growth of 70% compared to Q2CY25 - led by fashion, food and beverage (F&B) and entertainment. The data further showed that fashion (21%), Food & Beverage (19%), and entertainment (16%) accounted for over half of the leasing activity in the September quarter. Behind every successful retail destination today lies a quiet layer of intelligence: the science of tenant mix. Leasing teams are no longer relying on conventional wisdom; theyre decoding consumer behaviour in real time. Advanced tools such as Wi-Fi tracking, heat mapping, and loyalty app analytics now reveal how shoppers move, pause, and spend within a space. This continuous flow of insights allows developers to fine-tune their leasing strategy, reshuffling underperforming categories and reinforcing those that resonate with evolving demand clusters. Its a dynamic, data-informed process that keeps retail environments fresh, relevant, and consistently revenue-generating. Yukti Nagpal, Director, Gulshan Group says, Real-time data from parking systems and visitor-tracking apps is enabling a far sharper understanding of consumption rhythms. These insights help us identify under-served segments, refine floor zoning and curate a tenant mix that maximises both retailer performance and overall mall ROI. We consistently observe that when F&B, entertainment and fashion are strategically balanced, dwell time increases meaningfully. Data is becoming the new leasing compassensuring every square foot delivers measurable and sustainable value . Pankaj Jain, Founder and CMD, SPJ Group , says, In Gurugrams high-potential micro-markets, premium retail thrives on understanding the subtle shifts in consumer intent. These neighbourhoods attract a blend of globally exposed professionals and affluent families, and their expectations from a retail space are evolving rapidly. What we see from consumer behaviour is a strong preference for experiential formats: boutique fashion, fine dining, wellness, and curated leisure. This is of utmost importance to study consumers' expectations and buying behaviour patterns, to create a much more desired and impactful brand thereby create the greatest impact . Giving views on how data shapes retail strategy, Umang Jindal, CEO, Homeland Group , says, In high-density markets, leasing is all about precision. Here, data has become essential to shaping a retail environment that truly mirrors the aspirations of the catchment. The audience is younger, tech-savvy, and experience-driven, which means every leasing decision must be backed by clear behavioural insights. Our analytics framework tracks category performance to ensure each tenant strengthens the ecosystems overall vitality. Ultimately, data helps us build not just a mall, but a living ecosystem that evolves with its consumers . Siddharth Katyal, CEO, Bhumika Realty , said, Earlier, tenant curation was based largely on intuition and brand relationships. Today, its a quantifiable process. We rely on a blend of demographic analysis and performance mapping to identify which categories resonate most with our visitors. For instance, data may reveal a higher conversion potential in F&B or family entertainment for a specific micro-market. The goal is not just to fill space but to ensure a symbiotic ecosystem where anchor brands pull traffic and smaller stores benefit equally. Thats how leasing becomes a value chain, not a random assortment. Moreover, data has quietly become the new differentiator in retail leasing -the factor that separates intuitive design from informed precision. Developers are increasingly collaborating with PropTech and retail analytics partners to forecast demand, measure performance, and predict shifting consumer preferences with remarkable accuracy. This analytical foundation enables more strategic brand curation, resulting in stronger synergies between tenants and a healthier revenue mix. Ishwin Singh Hora, Director, Reach Group , says, Retail ROI today is shaped by how thoughtfully a developer interprets and integrates customer insights. Assessing catchment behaviour, footfall variations, and spending patterns helps in curating tenant mixes that maintain a balance between experiential offerings and everyday convenience. This approach fosters consistent footfall and long-term value creation. While data informs our decisions, it complements-rather than replaces-industry experience. The real strength lies in harmonizing analytics with a nuanced understanding of local culture, consumer behaviour, and evolving lifestyle dynamics . Ajendra Singh, Vice-President, Sales and Marketing , Spectrum@Metro , says, In malls, data has become the quiet architect of experience. What we earlier viewed as isolated metrics: peak hours, repeat visits, or category sales now stitches together a holistic picture of how people actually live their day inside a retail space. For us, the goal is not just higher footfall but meaningful engagement. Insights help us create intuitive journeys: placing discovery-led brands where curiosity is highest, or strengthening convenience zones where families gather. When you use data to understand intent, leasing stops being transactional; it becomes a way to design joy, loyalty, and long-term value . Therefore, as developers increasingly harness predictive analytics and digital intelligence, tenant mix emerges as the true measure of retail success. Every decision, grounded in data yet shaped by instinct, contributes to creating destinations that are adaptive, enduring, and emotionally engaging, transforming retail into a living, learning experience, one dataset at a time.

He added that the numbers reflect intensified monitoring across high-risk corridors, supported by dedicated night-time patrolling. Special police teams have also been deployed at all toll plazas from 6 p.m. to 10 pm, equipped with alco-sensor and e-challan machines so that drunk drivers can be checked on the spot and action taken without delay. On-the-spot checks allow officers to act immediately against offenders, significantly boosting highway safety and deterring risky late-evening driving behaviour. While enforcement remains strict, police officials emphasise that the campaigns primary goal is to change behaviour, not merely issue challans. The message is clear: drunk driving endangers the driver as well as every other commuter on the road, he said. Haryana Police has appealed to citizens to stay alert and advise family, friends and colleagues not to drive under the influence of alcohol. About 15 days ago, Haryana DGP O P Singh had suggested out-of-the-box ideas to curb drunken driving without humiliating anyone. For example, talk to the restaurant owner. If there are four people in a group, they could serve only three so the fourth wont drink. Or the owner could tell them that if all four have had drinks, take an Uber. The police can even coordinate with restaurants to ensure drunk patrons get home safely instead of being harassed at checkpoints, he had said. He further noted that Gurugram is like Amsterdam, Singapore or Hong Kong, cities known for their energy, youth and single working populations. Many single men and women working here have no family; their friends are their family. When they finish work on Friday, they go out this happens globally. So please, do not harass them when they are returning, he had said. He urged officers to avoid excessive barricading and traffic jams and instead explore smarter solutions such as real-time surveillance, technology integration and partnerships with nightlife establishments. Singh emphasised that while drunken driving is unforgivable, the enforcement approach must remain humane and non-confrontational.

Two-thirds of Air Indias Boeing 787-8 fleet will be upgraded by end of 2026: Campbell
GURUGRAM: Air India CEO and Managing Director Campbell Wilson on Monday said the year 2026 is set to witness significant changes to the airlines fleet. Nearly two-thirds of the wide body Boeing 787-8 aircraft would be upgraded next year while the entire fleet would be upgraded by 2027. Briefing newspersons at the Air India Training Academy at Gurugram, Wilson spoke at length about the wide body upgradation programme underway. The first two of our 787-788 legacy aircraft are undergoing upgradation in California and are receiving a completely new interior and wi-fi connectivity. They will come into service by February 2026. Thereafter, we will be pushing through two to three aircraft every month. So , all the 26 legacy 787-8 aircraft will be upgraded by the end of 2027. By the end of 2026, about two-thirds of the 787-8 fleet will be upgraded. These aircraft operate to mainland Europe, Australasia, and some of the major markets in SouthEast Asia. Over the course of 2026 you will see more and more of those routes being operated by the new world class Air India aircraft, he added. Air India has begun receiving the wide bodies purchased back in 2022. The first wide body aircraft manufactured specially for Air India, the line fit 787-9 should arrive just before Christmas and will go into service in January. Throughout the course of 2026, we should receive six new wide bodies a mix of 787-9s and A350-1000s along with atleast a couple of dozen narrow body aircraft, he elaborated. The customer experience on Air India flights will be much better in 2026, the CEO stressed stating that the retrofit of the interiors of the narrow body aircraft was taking place. Pic of the retrofitted 787-8 aircraft. Presently about 83% of the narrow body fleet has been upgraded. And the 17 aircraft that are yet to be upgraded were originally planned to be retired but decided to keep them later because of slow deliveries from Airbus and Boeing. For the Vistara aircraft, the liveries have started arriving. We will start the interior branding from this month. So, we are nearly at the end of the narrow body upgradation programme. He pointed out that 52% of the international routes are presently operated by the new aircraft and they are primarily to London Heathrow, New York, San Francisco, Singapore and Dubai. By the end of 2026, 81% of the international services would be operated by the upgraded aircraft, he said. Wilson said that 524 out of the 570 aircraft that it had placed firm orders are yet to be delivered and will be done in the next few years. They will start coming in significant volumes in 2027 and 2028. Along with it, the retrofitting of 50 `White tails of Air India Express aircraft are underway. These tail aircraft with a two class configuration were ordered by another airline but the delivery could not be taken due to COVID. So, we have started the process of converting the two-class configuration into a single class configuration. That will be completed by 2026. The travel demand to the US had been impacted due to air space restrictions and other issues but it was a transitory phase, he added. New beverage menu would be introduced soon on its aircraft. The upgraded portfolio will have a choice of aged single malts and boutique wines, the MD said. A world class lounge would soon be launched at Delhi international airports T3 while a new domestic lounge is planned by mid-2026, he added.

Delhi blast: White-collar terror module stockpiled explosives for two years, NIA probe reveals
CHANDIGARH: The investigations into the Faridabad white collar terror module linked to the Delhi blast case have reportedly revealed that the network spent nearly two years procuring explosives and remote-triggering devices. Sources claimed that one of the accused, Dr Muzammil Ganaie, during questioning by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), has reportedly admitted that 26 quintals of NPK fertilizer was procured from Gurugram and Nuh in Haryana. It was allegedly converted into explosive material under the supervision of Umar un-Nabi, who also arranged remote detonators and circuitry for the devices, as he handled the technical part of the operation. The explosives were prepared meticulously over a long period, as they were not built overnight. An official, on condition of anonymity, said, Ganaie was sourcing fertilizer and other precursor chemicals, and this material was bought for approximately Rs 3 lakh. Ammonium nitrate and urea were also stockpiled. It is learnt that Muzammil left a grinding machine and another machine used to melt metal at a taxi drivers house in Dhauj village. The driver was later detained by the NIA along with the machines. Questioning has revealed that the network spent nearly two years procuring explosives and remote-triggering devices. Sources claimed that the worrying factor is that the terrorists seem to have figured out a mix of incendiary chemicals and ammonium nitrate that lowers the kindling temperature of the improvised explosive device fabricated by this terror module. A day before the blast, a joint team of J&K and Faridabad police had seized 360 kg ammonium nitrate and other explosive material from a rented room of Dr Muzammil at Dhauj village. Additionally, 2,900 kg ammonium nitrate was recovered, clearly indicating the modules plan to carry out a major operation. So far, three doctors, Ganaie, Shahid and Adeel Rather, have been arrested. Muzaffar Rather, suspected to be part of the same network, is believed to be in Afghanistan, complicating efforts to bring him into custody. Meanwhile, authorities are also searching for Nissar ul-Hassan, a colleague of the accused at Al-Falah Medical College, where several of the suspects worked together. Sources claimed that Rs 26 lakh was allegedly raised among five doctors to finance the conspiracy. While Ganaie reportedly contributed Rs 5 lakh, Adeel Ahmad Rather Rs 8 lakh and Muzaffar Ahmad Rather Rs 6 lakh, Shaheen Shahid Rs 5 lakh and Dr Umar Un-Nabi Mohammad Rs 2 lakh. The entire amount was handed over to Umar. It is further alleged that Muzammil and Umar were involved in a fight at the university over the funds, witnessed by several students.

Haryana to set up ATS after Faridabad universitys links with Red Fort explosion surface
CHANDIGARH: Following the November 10 Delhi blast and the discovery of Faridabad white-collar terror module linked to it, the Haryana Police has fast-tracked its plan to establish an anti-terrorist squad (ATS) with focus on Islamic extremists and Khalistani separatist networks. Sources said that the new ATS structure will rest on three coordinated wingsintelligence gathering, complex investigations, and field operations modeled after the units across the country. The ATS will mainly focus on the NCR, which comprises 14 districts of Haryana, including Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonepat and Jhajjara belt that has repeatedly figured in national security alerts. A senior official indicated that the headquarters of ATS might be set up either at Panchkula or Gurugram. The ATS, officials say marks a generational shift in states approach to counter-terror ops: integrating intel, investigation, and operational capacity within a singular, high-tech framework. The commandos at ATS disposal will be trained for precision operations based on information from field and digital surveillance, said a senior police officer. Haryana DGP, OP Singh said, Our effort is to scan every layeranalogue and digitalfor the earliest signs of mobilisation. We want to transition from reactive policing to proactive, intelligence-led disruption of threats. Sources added that each of over 150 police stations in NCR districts will dedicate at least one security agent solely for the purpose of terror-intelligence collection.

Haryana Police fast-tracks Anti-Terror Squad plan after Red Fort blast
CHANDIGARH: After the November 10 Red Fort blast that killed 15 people and the exposure of a Faridabad white-collar terror module linked to the attack, the Haryana Police has revived and fast-tracked its long-pending plan to set up an Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) focused on Islamic extremist factions and Khalistani separatist networks. The ATS will prioritise counter-terror operations across the National Capital Region (NCR), covering fourteen Haryana districts, including Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonepat and Jhajjar, areas repeatedly flagged in national security alerts. Sources said the dormant proposal has now been pushed into action. The planned ATS will be equipped with three integrated wings, intelligence gathering, complex investigations and field operations, modelled on other elite units in the country. Officials said the squad will concentrate on emerging threats from Islamic extremists, Khalistani outfits and nodes of left-wing extremism. Officials said the ATS marks a generational shift in the states counter-terror approach by integrating intelligence, investigation and operational capacity into a single, high-tech framework. The commandos at the ATS disposal will be trained for precision operations based on information from field and digital surveillance, said a senior police officer, highlighting the units tech-driven vision. A senior official said the ATS headquarters may be set up in Panchkula or Gurugram to ensure synergy with NCR-focused operations and proximity to national agencies. The unit will employ advanced surveillance tools and analytic systems to monitor both online and offline spaces for early signs of mobilisation. Each of the more than 150 police stations in NCR districts will assign a dedicated security agent for daily terror-intelligence collection under the direct supervision of a senior officer. Speaking to the TNIE , Haryana DGP O P Singh said, Our effort is to scan every layer, analogue and digital, for the earliest signs of mobilisation. We want to move from reactive policing to proactive, intelligence-led disruption of threats. ED arrests Al Falah University founder Jawad Ahmed Siddiqui in PMLA case amid Red Fort blast probe A critical plank of the ATS is its operational wing, a force of 500 commandos trained in advanced counter-terror tactics, urban warfare and critical incident management, Singh added, emphasising both manpower and modernisation in the proposed units effectiveness. He further said, Our mandate is early neutralisation of threats through layered intelligence, swift investigation and precise operations. Haryana will not be a soft target. ATS is not a one-time exercise but a continuous vigil. This squad will embody our long-term commitment to internal security and public trust. The ATS will work in coordination with central agencies and ATS units in Delhi, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. Terror knows no boundaries between states. Seamless sharing of actionable leads and synchronised interventions are essential to prevent catastrophic events, said another senior officer involved in the planning. The final plan is still being refined, though officials say the structure will draw from best practices across elite North Indian units. Currently, the Haryana CID handles intelligence gathering related to terrorist activity.

SC stays Haryana STF's probe against Delhi lawyer; confirms interim bail in murder case
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed the Haryana Police Special Task Force investigation against a Delhi-based advocate who was arrested in a murder case. A bench comprising Chief Justice B R Gavai and Justices Prasanna B Varale and K Vinod Chandran also confirmed the interim bail granted earlier by it on November 12 to lawyer Vikram Singh in the case. It took note of the submissions of senior advocate Vikas Singh and said that the probe, qua the lawyer, will not proceed. I am not asking for discharge today, let the status report be called from the CBI, after that, if the bench thinks it's fit for discharge... The way the prosecution is behaving in this case is atrocious! the senior lawyer said. The bench, however, did not stay the entire investigation in the matter and said the plea for handing over the probe to the CBI will be taken up later. On Wednesday, the senior advocate alleged that the lawyer had been subjected to custodial torture and arrested solely to extract information about his clients. He was tied to a pole all night and made to sleep like that. WhatsApp messages were sent despite this court's order restraining such communication. He was given third-degree torture. He was threatened that his hair would be cut, and it was cut immediately at the police station, Vikas Singh said. He also alleged that STF officials were pressuring Vikram Singh to settle a gang-war because he represented certain accused. How can a lawyer settle matters between hardened gangsters? he asked and urged the bench to confirm the interim bail already granted and to transfer the probe to the CBI, considering the seriousness of the allegations. He also pointed out that although the top court ordered the advocate's release on November 12, he was freed only on November 13 at 8.30 pm. The counsel for Haryana denied any wrongdoing and submitted that Vikram Singh's bail bond was furnished only the next day, and that the release followed immediately thereafter. He also said that the petitioner was making misleading statements and that the grounds of arrest had been duly supplied. He added that it was the advocate who had initiated WhatsApp communication with the investigating officer. Opposing any move to involve the CBI, the state counsel said that the murder case was being handled by the STF and transferring the present grievances would amount to transferring the entire investigation. So what is the issue? The CBI will investigate it much better, the CJI said and listed the plea for the hearing on Thursday. Earlier, while granting the bail, the court had directed that Vikram Singh be released forthwith on furnishing a bail bond of Rs 10,000, and posted the matter for Wednesday. The bench directed the registrar (judicial) of the top court to communicate the order to the Gurugram police commissioner for immediate compliance. At the outset, Vikas Singh, who is also president of the Supreme Court Bar Association, said that anybody practising criminal law will now be susceptible to these kinds of coercive measures. He said the arrested advocate was representing gangsters, but these kinds of police atrocities against lawyers were impermissible. Vikram Singh, an advocate enrolled with the Bar Council of Delhi since July 2019, was lodged in Faridabad jail before the grant of bail. In the course of his professional duties, the petitioner has represented several clients in criminal cases between 2021 and 2025, including persons alleged to have connections with one Kapil Sangwan @ Nandu. All such representations were undertaken purely in the discharge of his professional obligations and in conformity with the Advocates Act and the standards of professional ethics. However, instead of respecting the independence of the Bar, the investigating agency has sought to criminalise the petitioner's professional association with his clients, thereby undermining the rule of law and the sanctity of the advocate-client relationship, the plea said. It said the lawyer was targeted after an application was filed before a court alleging custodial assault on one of his clients, Jyoti Prakash alias 'Baba', who reportedly suffered a leg fracture in STF custody. The retaliatory action by the investigating agency culminated in my illegal arrest, the petition said. It said Vikram Singh was arrested on October 31 without a written grounds of arrest or independent witnesses, in violation of Articles 21 and 22 of the Constitution. On November 1, a trial court in Faridabad remanded Singh to judicial custody for 14 days by a mechanical and non-speaking order, devoid of any reasoning or material connecting him to the alleged offences, it said.

ED arrests Lalu Prasad family 'aide' in real estate fraud case
NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate has arrested Amit Katyal, a real estate businessman considered close to RJD chief Lalu Prasad's family, in a money laundering case linked to alleged cheating of homebuyers in Gurugram, official sources said. Katyal was taken into custody by the Gurugram zonal office of the agency on Monday under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), they said. A special court in Gurugram sent him to six-day ED custody. The investigation pertains to the allegations of non-delivery of flats in the Krrish Florence Estate built in Gurugram's Sector 70 over 14 acres. The project was being developed by Katyal's company, Angle Infrastructure Pvt Ltd. Katyal was arrested by the ED also in 2023 in a separate money laundering case related to the railways' alleged land-for-jobs scam involving Lalu Prasad, his wife Rabri Devi, and other family members. The businessman was chargesheeted in August by the federal agency in a third case for allegedly cheating homebuyers for Rs 500 crore through Krrish Realtech, of which he is a promoter.
