Job fraud accused laundered crores through hawala operators in Kerala and AP: Chennai Police

CHENNAI: Investigating a racket which duped 193 people of Rs 2.23 crore by promising jobs in European countries, the Greater Chennai Police has found that the Poland-based kingpin of the racket laundered Rs 1.67 crore of proceeds of crime through multiple entities, including hawala operators. The city polices job racket investigation wing had on July 31 arrested the alleged kingpin, Magam Vinay Vardhan (36) of Nellore, at Chennai international airport when he arrived from Poland, unaware that a Look Out Circular (LOC) had been issued against him. According to police, Vinay, who worked in Poland, partnered with Saifuddin to collect money from gullible job-seekers under the pretext of securing employment in Poland, Italy, Portugal, and the Cayman Islands. Saifuddin was running Saif International, a shell firm through which the racket was operated. He was arrested in February following a complaint from Padmanabhan, who had paid Rs 1.25 lakh for a meat cutters job in Poland. Subsequent investigation revealed 193 victims who were cheated of Rs 2.23 crore using the same modus operandi. Police sources said Vinay received Rs 33 lakh from two individuals, around Rs 1.1 crore through a stationery shop, Rs 17 lakh via a realty investment firm, and about Rs 40 lakh through hawala channels. These entities were based in Andhra Pradesh and Kerala, and Saifuddin allegedly routed the proceeds of crime to Vinay through them, police sources said. This Rs 1.67 crore, police believe, is part of the proceeds of crime. Police also found that Saif International was not registered with the Protector of Emigrants, which is mandatory for firms arranging overseas jobs. Though the case was solved in February, they had been waiting for Vinays return to India. His passport was seized upon arrival and police said investigation will continue to uncover the money trail and recover it.

A temple where Siva was worshipped by Sage Rishyashringa

Thiruvur, in Thiruvallur District, is home to a Siva temple where this deity is worshipped as Singandishwarar (Shringandishwarar). It is an ancient village which was once called Turugur, as revealed by a 13th-century Chola inscription found in this temple. It was a part of a place called Perumulaiyur alias Ulagalanda Chola Chaturvedimangalam, a subdivision of Ikkattu Kottam. The name Ulagalanda Chola Chaturvedimangalam is after the title `Ulagalanda Chola, which, according to scholars, could have been a title of Rajadhiraja Chola I (1018-1054 CE) as perhaps a land-survey was undertaken in his reign. The Singandishwarar temple was, till recent times, in a dilapidated state as photographs inside the temple indicate. Due to the efforts of a few devotees, this temple has been rebuilt and regular worship is now conducted. According to the Sthala Puranam (traditional story associated with this temple), Sage Rishyashringa, who is mentioned in the Ramayanam of Maharishi Valmiki, worshipped God Siva here and hence the name Shringandishwarar (Singandishwarar). It is interesting to note that a 13th-century epigraph belonging to the reign of Vijaya Gandagopala, a chieftain of the Telugu Choda dynasty, mentions the name of the deity as Rishyashringishvaram Udaiya Nayanar, while a 16th-century Vijayanagara inscription refers to Siva here as Singishvaram Udaiya Nayinar. The stone base of the gopuram features a well-carved sculpture of Rishyashringa, with the face of a deer, while an image of this rishi is located in the mandapa near the main sanctum. The entrance to the Singandishwarar temple, with a majestic gopuram , is on the south and leads to a wide open prakaram (enclosure). Two mandapas with pillars featuring numerous sculptures in the Vijayanagara style are located in front of the south-facing sanctum of Goddess Parvati, known as Utphalamba. Close by is the principal shrine for Singandishwarar, with an inner prakaram running around it. This east-facing sanctum has devakoshtas (niches on the outer walls) for Ganesha, Dakshinamurti, Lingodhbhavamurti, Brahma and Durga. The Nandi, dvajastambham , and bali-pitham are on the east in the outer prakaram . Sanctums for Ganesha, Subramnaya, Surya, Chandra, and other deities are also seen here. There are a few inscriptions in this temple, one among which, as mentioned earlier, belongs to Vijaya Gandagopala and is dated 1268 CE. There are several epigraphs of Jatavarman Sundara Pandya (1251-1268 CE), whose capital was Madurai and whose extensive empire extended from Kanyakumari to Nellore. A few Vijayanagara era epigraphs of the reigns of Krishnadeva Raya (1509-1529 CE), and Venkatapati Raya (1586-1614 CE) are also here. The Sthala Vriksham , as in many other Siva temples, is the Vivam. The temple tank is situated a few metres away from the temple. On the other side of the road is a shrine for Vishnu, which is in a very ruined condition. A Vijayanagara inscription in the Singandishwarar temple refers to this Vishnu as Kariya Manikka Perumal, the same name as it is called today. Know your city Thiruvur is approximately 40 km from Chennai and 8 km from Thiruvallur.

NMC ask medical institutes to observe August 12 as anti-ragging day

NEW DELHI: The National Medical Commission (NMC) on Thursday asked all medical institutes to observe August 12 as anti-ragging day. In a public notice, the NMC asked the medical institutes to follow it up with a week-long anti-ragging week from August 12 to 18. The notice was issued following an advisory by the University Grants Commission (UGC) on July 22 to observe these two events. In the past few months, medical colleges have reported a series of ragging incidents, some of which led to the deaths of students. As per NMC, 122 medical students, including 64 MBBS and 58 postgraduates, died by suicide due to various reasons till last year. The latest ragging incident was reported from Kerala in February. Eleven second-year MBBS students were suspended for ragging first-year students at the Government Medical College, Kozhikode. The junior students had lodged a complaint saying that they were physically and mentally harassed by their seniors. The NMC had issued a stern warning after a series of ragging incidents rocked medical colleges last year. Taking note of these incidents, which also led to a student taking the extreme step, the NMC asked them to implement robust anti-ragging mechanisms, failing which, strict action would be taken against them. Last year, a first-year student, Anil Methania, passed away after allegedly being subjected to a ragging incident by senior students in the medical college in Gujarat. According to reports, he was forced to stand for three hours as part of an introduction by third-year students. After enduring the prolonged standing, Anil collapsed and lost consciousness. Apart from the Gujarat incident, a BDS student of Narayana Dental College allegedly died by suicide by jumping from the fifth floor of the college building in Chintareddypalem near Nellore City in Andhra Pradesh in August last year. The deceased's family alleged that Pradeep took the extreme step as he was unable to bear the ragging and sexual harassment at the hands of his seniors. Attaching the UGC advisory, NMC Secretary Raghav Langer said that to prevent ragging, the Commission has framed regulations on curbing the menace of ragging in higher educational institutions (HEIs). These regulations are mandatory, and all institutions are required to take necessary steps for their implementation in toto, including the monitoring mechanism, as per provisions in the above regulations, and ensure their strict compliance, he said. He added that the UGC has taken several proactive steps, including effectively launching media campaigns and awareness activities to prevent ragging. The secretary added that videos on anti-ragging are also uploaded on the UGC website for use by HEIs.
