ED raids 12 locations, including six in Jharkhand, in Rs 750 crore fake ITC scam
RANCHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is conducting searches at 12 locations across Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Maharashtra in connection with an ongoing investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. The case pertains to a large-scale fake Input Tax Credit (ITC) fraud involving shell entities and unauthorised financial channels. According to sources, ED teams are conducting searches at six locations simultaneously, including a flat located on the fourth floor of Krishna Apartment in the PP compound. Necessary documents, digital records and possible evidence are being searched at all these places, they said. The investigation stems from the arrest of Shiva Kumar Deora, identified as the key mastermind behind the syndicate, who was charge-sheeted last month following his arrest in May 2025. The case pertains to generation of Rs 750 crore fake Input Tax Credit (ITC) involving shell entities and unauthorised financial channels in Jharkhand. The current searches are being undertaken based on credible evidence that indicates involvement of several individuals and firms in laundering proceeds of crime. Earlier, during the first round of raids in the GST scam, ED had arrested four people, including Shiv Kumar Deora from Kolkata and Amit Agarwal alias Vicky Bhalotia from Jamshedpur. During the interrogation, it was found that by making fake bills, paper trade was shown without purchase and sale of goods and Input Tax Credit (ITC) was misused. After getting information about the involvement of more people in this scam, second round of crackdown was launched by the ED. On June 25, 2024, Jamshedpur scrap businessman Bablu Jaiswal, alias Gyanchand Jaiswal, was also arrested on charges of GST scam. The GST department called Bablu to the Intelligence office in Sakchi on the evening of June 24 and interrogated him and then sent him to jail after his arrest.

Three days after collapse, search begins for trapped workers in illegal mine in Jharkhands Dhanbad
RANCHI: After a delay of three days, a joint team of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the Mines Rescue Wing of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) has finally launched a rescue operation to locate workers allegedly trapped inside a closed underground mine in Block-2, Baghmara, Dhanbad, since 22 July. The operation involves a 35-member NDRF team and 15 personnel from the BCCL rescue wing. While the NDRF conducted an initial survey of the area on Thursday morning, active rescue work commenced in the evening after receiving clearance from the district administration. The efforts continued until 11:30 PM and resumed again on Friday at 11:30 AM. Senior officials including Block-2 General Manager G.C. Saha, NDRF Assistant Commandant Santosh Kumar, Inspector Ravishankar, Circle Officer, and the Officer-in-Charge of Baghmara Police Station, Ajit Kumar, are overseeing the operation. According to Ajit Kumar, the operation was initiated following demands from local Member of Parliament Chandra Prakash Choudhary, who identified three suspected locations where individuals may be trapped. Rescue work has begun at the first site and will continue at the remaining two. Illegal mine collapse in Dhanbads Jamunia area; nine feared trapped, officials remain silent The incident reportedly took place on Tuesday, when the roof of a closed underground mine collapsed during illegal mining activity. Several workers, believed to be hired by a coal theft syndicate, are feared to be trapped under the debris. The collapse occurred near the Jamunia River at Kesargarha, under the jurisdiction of Baghmara Police Station, where at least nine people are suspected to be buried. Locals claimed that around 15 workers were inside the mine at the time of the collapse, which occurred when carbonaceous rocksupported only by weak pillarsgave way with a loud crash. Although BCCL authorities and the Dhanbad police initially dismissed the reports as rumours, Giridih MP Chandra Prakash Choudhary and Jamshedpur West MLA Saryu Roy visited the site and insisted that multiple individuals were trapped. The MP staged a sit-in protest at Baghmara Police Station and submitted a formal complaint demanding immediate rescue efforts. The protest was called off only after Baghmara SDPO Purushotam Singh assured the leaders that a rescue operation would be launched without further delay.
Main shooter in Bihar village chief's murder case arrested in Delhi's Keshav Puram
NEW DELHI: A 39-year-old shooter allegedly involved in the politically-motivated murder of a former village head in Bihar has been arrested in north Delhi's Keshav Puram, an officer said on Wednesday. Rahul Singh Rajput has a history of 31 serious criminal cases and was wanted in a case registered under Aurangabad's Mali Police Station for the murder of Sanjay Singh on November 30, 2024, the officer said. Singh was gunned down as a fallout of an ongoing rivalry between two local groups vying for political dominance. Rahul had been absconding ever since, while seven of his co-accused had already been arrested by Bihar Police, said Harsh Indora, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime). On July 22, a team from the Bihar Police sought assistance from the Delhi Police and a joint operation was launched. The accused was traced to the Keshav Puram area in Delhi. He was finally cornered and apprehended near Prembari Pul, he said. Rahul initially tried to mislead the interrogating team, but eventually confessed to his role in the murder, he said. He was formally arrested by the Bihar Police team and produced before a court for further legal proceedings. Rahul was found involved in cases of murder, attempt to murder, extortion, robbery, Arms Act violations, NDPS Act offences and several other cases under the Uttar Pradesh Gangster Act. He has been booked in at least 31 criminal cases across Uttar Pradesh over the last two decades, the officer said. Rahul's criminal journey began when he was in class 12. Following his first arrest, he abandoned his studies and joined the illegal narcotics trade. His failure to secure stable work in Jamshedpur led him deeper into crime, the DCP said. He gradually built a fearsome reputation as a contract killer and extortionist, expanding his network to Varanasi, Jaunpur, Ghazipur, Chandauli, Bhadohi, and Deoria, the officer said. His association with Rakesh Giri, another gangster from Bihar who he met in jail, led to his eventual involvement in the Aurangabad murder case, he added.

RANCHI: An illegal mine near the Jamunia River at Kesargarha under Baghmara Police Station in Dhanbad district collapsed, with at least nine people feared to be buried under the debris. According to local residents, 15 workers were present in the mine when carbonaceous rock gave way with a loud crash. The collapse is believed to have occurred due to weakly supported pillars within the illegal excavation site. As many as nine people are feared buried under the debris of the illegal mine, which was being operated by a local mining mafia, said a local resident on condition of anonymity. Despite the severity of the incident, there has been no official confirmation. Local police and administrative officials have claimed ignorance. Baghmara Police Station in-charge Ajit Kumar stated that he had not received any information, while Rajiv Ranjan, the nodal security officer of Block-2 area, also expressed unawareness of the situation. Locals alleged that access to the site is being restricted, with no rescue operations initiated until Wednesday morning. Journalists attempting to reach the location were reportedly stopped from entering the area.

Rai named Chunchun Gupta as the alleged operator behind the illegal mining and accused him of working under the protection of influential individuals. Nine workers died tonight due to the collapse of an illegal mine at a place called Jamunia in Bagmara, Dhanbad. The illegal mining mafia is busy disposing of the bodies.

KOLKATA: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit West Bengal on Friday, where he will address a BJP rally in Durgapur, besides laying the foundation stone and inauguration of multiple development projects worth over Rs 5000 crore. With the Assembly elections in West Bengal due in April-May next year, Modis visit assumes political significance, especially because it coincides with Trinamool Congress Chief Mamata Banerjees Martyrs Day rally at Kolkata on July 21. According to political observers, since it is the last Martyrs Day rally of the Trinamool Congress before the Assembly polls, Banerjee is all set to use this platform to give a clear political message to her main political rival, the BJP and is also expected to announce some new schemes to lure voters. In this context, Modis speech in the public meeting at Durgapur will catch everyones attention. On Wednesday, Banerjee held a protest march in Kolkata against the alleged harassment and torture of Bengali-speaking people in several BJP-ruled states. Daring the BJP-led Centre to send her to the detention camp, she had said, The people of Bengal have elected me to serve them. Let me work here. If you create disturbance here, I will tour the entire country. You wont be able to stop me. I will see how many detention camps you can lodge me in. Even there I will speak in Bengali. If Bengalis are sent to detention camps, the people of Bengal through their votes will send BJP to the political detention camp. Bengal is under our control and will remain so. In the coming days, we will also take over Delhi, taking everyone along, she had claimed on Wednesday. On the same day, Leader of Opposition at the West Bengal Legislative Assembly Suvendu Adhikari, went to the office of the Chief Electoral Officer of West Bengal on the infiltration issue. Meanwhile, for the occasion of Modi's meeting on Friday afternoon, two stages have been set up at Nehru Stadium in Durgapur.

After the meeting, the Prime Minister will leave for Delhi. The Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone for Bharat Petroleum Corp.

The Durgapur to Kolkata section, worth over Rs 1,190 crore, is passing through the districts of East Burdwan, Hooghly and Nadia in West Bengal. The pipeline provided direct and indirect employment during its implementation phase and will now facilitate the supply of natural gas to lakhs of households in the region. Boosting rail infrastructure in the region, the Prime Minister will also dedicate to the nation the doubling of the Purulia Kotshila Rail Line (36 KM) in Purulia, worth over Rs 390 crore.

CID takes over probe into Maiyan Samman Yojana fraud involving men from Bihar, West Bengal
RANCHI: After it was revealed that the benefits of the Maiyan Samman Yojana, exclusively meant for the women of Jharkhand, were being availed not only by woman from other states but also men in Bihar and West Bengal, the state Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has taken over the case. Notably, as many as 172 people, both men and women, were booked in Jamshedpur, not only for fraudulently registering themselves with the scheme, but also taking financial assistance of Rs 2500. An FIR has been registered at Galudih police station against 39 residents of Kishanganj in Bihar and 133 of North Dinajpur district of West Bengal on July 9. Interestingly, 40 of the total beneficiaries, taking advantage of the scheme, were found to be men. Not only that, these 40 men have also registered names of men in the column of husband's name in the application form. Now the CID will take over the case registered at Galudih Police Station. It will try to find out whether such fraud has happened in other districts as well and who all are involved in it, said a senior police official, requesting anonymity. The CID will investigate how such a large number of non-eligible beneficiaries were selected and the entire network behind it, he added. In the FIR, lodged in the case, 12 such people were found to not have any clear address, despite this, they were given the benefit of the scheme. All the 172 accused persons forged documents by showing themselves as women during the online application. Out of these, 10 men are residents of Bihar and 30 men are residents of West Bengal, stated the FIR. This FIR was registered at Galudih police station by secretary in-charge of Hendaljuri Panchayat Mangal Tudu under sections 318(4), 338, 339, 336 and 61(2)/3(5) of the Indian Penal Code (BNS) as well as sections 65, 66(C), 66(D) of the IT Act. Though the amount was not mentioned in the FIR, it is estimated that through fake documents, Rs 9 lakh 57 thousand were sent to the bank accounts of 172 Muslims of Bengal and Bihar under the first instalment of Rs 2,500.

Injured elephant dies after suspected Maoist IED blast in Jharkhand's Saranda forest
RANCHI: A six-year-old wild elephant named Gadru, which was seriously injured in a suspected IED blast planted by Maoists in the Saranda Forest of Chaibasa, has sadly succumbed to its injuries despite intensive treatment efforts. The elephant had been spotted wandering in the forest in an injured condition ten days ago. Gadru was believed to have sustained injuries on June 24, but it was only located on June 27 with the help of a drone camera. Despite exhaustive efforts by the Forest Department and veterinary experts, the elephant could not be saved. After several hours of treatment, the elephant finally collapsed late on Saturday evening due to excessive blood loss and infection. It had sustained a major injury to its hind limb, which became severely infected and spread throughout its body, said Saranda Divisional Forest Officer (DFO), Aviroop Sinha. He added that further details would be available following the post-mortem, scheduled for Sunday. A joint medical team comprising members of the Forest Department and Vantara, a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre from Gujarat, had tranquilised the elephant late on Saturday evening. The animal was then transported to Jhariakela from the Digha area of Saranda, but it succumbed overnight due to massive internal bleeding and injuries. Specialised teams were called in from various forest divisions in Jharkhand and Odisha to assist in locating and treating the elephant. The rescue operation was personally monitored by Jamshedpur Regional Chief Conservator of Forests (RCCF) Smita Pankaj and Saranda DFO Aviroop Sinha, with Dr Tenzing from Vantara also on-site. According to local sources, the incident likely occurred between 24 and 26 June. The elephant was last seen near Digha on June 27and was finally traced by drone on July 3. Forest officials confirmed the animal was severely injured, although the exact cause is still under investigation. However, wildlife experts have not ruled out an IED explosion as the cause, given the nature of the injury to the hind limb. With Maoists now deploying capsule IEDs with limited impact, it's possible the elephant was hurt by one of these devices, said a wildlife expert on condition of anonymity. Notably, Maoist activity is now largely confined to the Saranda jungles of Jharkhand, having been driven out of most other parts of the state. Estimates suggest 8590 Maoist insurgents are hiding in the region, which is reportedly littered with thousands of IEDs, posing a grave challenge for security personnel. Since the launch of a joint security operation in the Kolhan region in November 2022, following intelligence reports about the presence of senior Maoist leaders including Misir Besra and Patiram Majhi alias Anal Da, the area has witnessed intense conflict. The IED blasts triggered by Maoists have claimed the lives of six security personnel and around 22 civilians, leaving over 30 others critically injured.

Village Panchayat in Jharkhand passes resolution to reject witchcraft-related complaints
RANCHI: A village panchayat in Jharkhand's Jamshedpur has passed a resolution for not hearing any case related to witch-hunting. According to the Gram Pradhan of Sarjamda village under Jamshedpur Block of Jamshedpur, the decision has been taken in the wake of the growing incidents of killing women and elders after branding them as witches during Panchayat meetings. Not only that, the Gram Panchayat has also amended the rules of the traditional self-governance system, under which, if anyone approaches the Gram Sabha with a complaint accusing a woman or anybody of practicing black magic, his or her complaint will not be entertained. As per the amended constitution, there is no such thing as a witch or witchcraft. Gram Pradhan Suresh Hansda, also known as Manjhi Baba, informed that if someone comes to the Gram Sabha with an application accusing someone of being a witch, it is rejected outrightly and the person referred for counselling, during which, they are told that it is nothing but superstition. Not a single case of witchcraft has recorded in the region after the resolution was taken by the Gram Sabha a few years back, which clearly indicates that the purpose has been solved, said Hansda. Earlier, our forefathers were illiterate, who used to believe in such superstitions, but now after becoming literate, there should not be any space for such thing in society, he added. The resolution not taken orally, but in writing formally on the Panchayat register, said Hansda. Block Development Officer (BDO) Malay Kumar also lauded the initiative taken by Gram Panchayat, calling it a welcome step. As most of the witch-hunting cases are targeted towards the women and elderly, it is really a welcome step, which will further help in checking such incidents, said the Block Development Officer. Other Panchayats should also follow the suit as it has effectively worked in this particular Panchayat, he added. Civil Society Organisations also called it a landmark decision. Such initiative will further inspire other Panchayats to take similar decision as more than 2000 women have been killed the name of practicing black magic across Jharkhand since the state came into being in the year 2000, said Secretary of Association for Social and Humar Awareness (ASHA) Ajay Jaiswal. Padma Shri recipient and social worker, known for raising her voice against the witch-hunting, Chhutni Mahato, also believes that the incidents of murder on the pretext of being a witch could only be stopped when the society becomes aware. Panchayats have an important role to play to check this menace as the decisions of Panchayats are paramount in tribal villages. If initiatives are being taken against such superstitions in tribal panchayats, then it will yield positive results, said Chhutni Mahto. Notably, there are a lot of instances in Jharkhand where people were killed following a decision taken by the Panchayat, branding them as witches. Tribal-dominated Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Telangana are the worst affected states. Hundreds of women have been persecuted, tortured and killed in the garb of witchcraft in past few decades in these four states.

CM Hemant Soren replaces Shibu Soren as JMM President
RANCHI: Chief Minister Hemant Soren replaced Shibu Soren as JMM President. The decision was taken at the 13th convention of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) being held in Ranchi on Tuesday. Meanwhile, a new post Founding Patron has been created by amending the partys constitution for Shibu Soren. The party also abolished the post of Executive Presidenta role previously held by Hemant Soren. In place of the executive president, a new post of Founding Patron has been created for Shibu Soren. Hemant Soren was given the responsibility of executive president during the Jamshedpur convention in 2015 and held it for almost 10 years. Under his leadership, the party won two Assembly elections. Earlier, Nalin Soren proposed the name of Shibu Soren for the newly created post of founder patron of JMM, seconded by Stephen Marandi, which was approved unanimously by the party leaders and workers. After this, Shibu Soren was officially elected as the founder patron of the party. Later, Hemant Soren's name was proposed as the president of JMM. Shibu Soren announced the name of Hemant Soren as the central president of JMM. With this, JMM is ushering in a new era under the leadership of Hemant Soren. Formed in 1972, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha began as a tribal rights movement under the leadership of Shibu Soren. Originally a grassroots platform advocating for the creation of a separate tribal state, the party was instrumental in the formation of Jharkhand in 2000 after decades of struggle and sacrifice. Now, with assembly elections round the corners in the neighbouring states, the JMM appears ready to broaden its reach and redefine its identity on the national stage. After the formation of JMM in 1972, Vinod Bihari Mahto was made the first president of JMM, holding the post till 1984. Later in 1984, when the political circumstances changed, Shibu Soren appointed Nirmal Mahto as the president of JMM. Later, Shibu Soren was given the responsibility and had been serving as the party president since 1987, playing a key role in shaping the direction of the party. Shibu Soren remained party president for about 38 long years. JMM, under Shibu Sorens leadership, intensified the movement for a separate state, giving voice to the aspirations of the people of Jharkhand. The partys symbol, bow and arrow, became a powerful emblem of identity, pride, and rights for the people of the region. From forests and hills to fields, villages, towns, and cities, the party expanded its reach. Starting in the 1980s, JMM also made its mark in electoral politics and gradually gained a foothold in the parliamentary system. According to party leaders, in his new role as Founding Patron, Shibu Soren will continue to guide the party as a mentor.
