Meghalaya police bust criminal network facilitating 'illegal entry' of Bangladeshis
GUWAHATI: Meghalaya police, in coordination with Mumbai police, busted a criminal network that not only facilitated the illegal entry of Bangladeshi nationals but also used their bank accounts, opened with forged documents, to carry out banking and cyber frauds. Officials said Meghalaya police had launched an operation on February 14 after receiving details that a group of suspected Bangladeshi nationals was travelling to Shillong from Guwahati by road. Five persons, including a child, were intercepted in Ri-Bhoi district and taken into custody. They were found possessing Aadhaar and PAN cards, but it did not take long for the police to ascertain their Bangladeshi nationality. All of them had entered India months ago and travelled to Mumbai looking for jobs. The infiltrators admitted that Shaikh Mohd Mujib of Mumbai had arranged Aadhaar and PAN cards for them. He is allegedly part of the network that arranged forged documents using fake address proofs and moved illegal immigrants to Indian cities through middlemen. A Kazi and Jabir Yunus Shaikh, two other Mumbai-based members of the network, opened bank accounts in the names of the immigrants by using forged documents. The accounts were then used for loan fraud and cybercrime. Sometime ago, a Meghalaya police team visited Mumbai and together with Mumbai police carried out a series of raids leading to the arrest of Kazi, Shaikh and Mujib from three different places in the city. Various incriminating documents were seized. Meghalaya shares a 443 km long border with Bangladesh, part of which is porous, and the locals are not viewing the illegal migration of Bangladeshi citizens as an isolated incident. Illegal immigration from Bangladesh has been a growing concern in the state, with various groups and organisations flagging the issue from time to time. They have been demanding to step up vigil along the border after claiming that Bangladeshi nationals were entering India through the Meghalaya border.

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday observed the probe in relation to podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia was complete and said it would on April 28 hear his plea for the return of his passport in a case of distasteful remarks in a YouTube show. On February 18, the top court protected Allahbadia from arrest in multiple FIRs filed over his comments during a YouTube show and directed him to deposit his passport with the investigating officer of Police Station Nodal Cyber Police, Thane. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh said it would consider Allahbadia's plea on April 28. During the hearing, solicitor general Tushar Mehta, appearing for Assam and Maharashtra police, said in the Guwahati FIR, the statement of one co-accused would be recorded whereas investigation was complete in relation to the FIR in Mumbai but a chargesheet was yet to be filed. The bench recorded Mehta's statement and observed the investigation qua Allahbadia was complete. The top court on March 3 allowed Allahbadia to resume his podcast The Ranveer Show subject to maintaining morality and decency and making it suitable for viewers of all ages. Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, was booked for his comments on parents and sex on comic Samay Raina's YouTube show India's Got Latent. The apex court had initially restrained Allahbadia from airing any programme of his podcast which had a direct or an indirect bearing on the merits of the sub-judice cases he was involved in. On February 18, the top court granted interim protection from arrest to Allahbadia while calling his comments vulgar and saying he had dirty mind which put the society to shame. Aside from Allahbadia and Raina, others named in the case in Assam are comics Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh and Apoorva Makhija.

Cracks in Opposition bloc ahead of panchayat polls
GUWAHATI: The two key Opposition parties in Assam the Congress and the Raijor Dal have been at daggers drawn. Though the two parties had earlier planned to contest the upcoming panchayat polls together to defeat the ruling BJP, their differences could throw a spanner in the works. Raijor Dal chief and Sibsagar MLA Akhil Gogoi recently sparked a row by allegedly describing Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi and Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Debabrata Saikia as agents of the saffron party.

Tripura locals anxious as Bangladesh builds embankment along the border
GUWAHATI: Bangladesh's construction of an embankment along the Muhuri river near the Tripura border has set the alarm bells ringing. A Tripura government delegation, led by Public Works Department Secretary Kiran Gitte, visited the border area at Belonia subdivision in South Tripura district on Sunday to conduct a study. They held a meeting with the villagers and assured them that efforts would be made to restore an embankment and repair others. Several embankments along the border were either damaged or washed away in the floods last year. The government identified 43 sites in different districts. Work to repair them will be started soon, the officials said. All repairing and related works will be completed by June this year. Five engineers will be deputed in South Tripura district for the restoration work, Gitte said. He asked locals not to panic and sought their cooperation to complete the work on time. Gitte was accompanied by BSF Tripura Frontier Inspector General Ashwani Kumar Sharma and several senior officials of the Tripura government. The ongoing construction of the Bangladeshi embankment has left border residents of Belonia worried. They fear that annual floods might become devastating for people living in the border areas. Meanwhile, Dipankar Sen, the local CPI-M legislator, requested the state government as well as the BSF to take up the matter with the Centre so that it intervenes. The construction of a similar embankment at a location on the border between Bangladeshs Moulvibazar and Tripuras Unakoti districts had triggered tensions in January this year. Locals viewed it as being against the spirit of the Indo-Bangla Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Peace, which does not allow any permanent construction within 150 yards of the zero point.
