Sutherland Stars As Australia Moves Closer To Winning ICC Womens Championship

Pacer Molly Penfold: All-rounder Annabel Sutherland hit a brilliant century as Australia moved closer to winning a third consecutive ICC Womens Championship title through a 65-run victory via DLS method over New Zealand in the second ODI at Basin Reserve on Saturday. After hitting a stunning century in the final ODI against India at Perth, Annabel made it back-to-back centuries by being unbeaten on 105 off just 81 deliveries, laced with 11 fours and two sixes at a strike-rate of 129.63. The importance of her knock is further noted with none of the Australian batters touching 35. Pacer Molly Penfold picked her career-best ODI figures of 4/42, but it wasnt enough as Australia posted 291/7. Kim Garth dismissed openers Suzie Bates and Bella Jones, before Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine and Brooke Halliday fell to leave New Zealand in tatters at 131/5 in 30.1 overs, and being 65 runs behind of the DLS-par score when rain interrupted play. It eventually handed Australia a victory via the DLS method, and giving them a 1-0 lead in the series, with the final game scheduled to be held on Monday. Saturdays win also lifted Australia to 37 points in the ICC Women's Championship standings. India, with 25 points, remains the only team capable of matching up to Australia. For that to happen, India must win all six of their remaining matches in the cycle three each against West Indies and Ireland respectively. India, captained by Harmanpreet Kaur, will play their opener against West Indies at the Kotambi Cricket Stadium in Vadodara on Sunday. They will also need New Zealand to upset Australia in Mondays game. But any other outcome, including a tie or draw, will help Australia clinch their third consecutive ICC Womens Championship title.

Gujarat's most accident-prone driver? Man linked to 24 crashes sparks insurance scam probe

AHMEDABAD: Investigators have uncovered a shocking insurance fraud case in Gujarat revolving around a man allegedly involved in 24 separate accidents in the districts of Panchmahal, Dahod and Mahisagar. Aslam Mohammad Chunchala was identified as the driver in all 24 cases. Authorities are yet to determine whether Chunchala was a willing participant or falsely implicated in the scheme. However, the pattern of medical insurance claims tied to these incidents suggests a well-orchestrated conspiracy to cheat insurance companies on a significant scale. The insurance fraud scheme came to light following an investigation into a suspicious claim filed in 2016. The case dates back to October 22, 2015, when Jagdishbhai Laxmanbhai Baria sought 3 lakh in compensation for injuries allegedly sustained in an accident involving a Toofan vehicle. Aslam Mohammad Chunchala was named as the driver, while Sikandar Sulemanbhai Samad was listed as the vehicles owner. Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company, the insurer, was directed to settle the claim. However, a private firm engaged by Bajaj to verify the claim discovered a startling patternChunchala had been named the driver in 23 other accidents across Panchmahal, Dahod, and Mahisagar districts. This finding blew the lid off what investigators suspect to be a large-scale scam. Kalpesh Kantilal Prajapati, the area manager for Bajaj Allianz in Godhra, lodged a complaint at Godhra Taluka Police Station. Chunchala is accused of posing as the driver in multiple fabricated accident cases, allegedly offering his involvement for a fee to facilitate fraudulent claims. The expose has raised questions about the extent of the conspiracy and its implications for the insurance industry. The recent unearthing of an insurance scam in Gujarat highlights a recurring issue in the state, long plagued by dubious claims and fraudulent activities. Just last year, Vadodara resident Hanif Mansuri, a Godhra native, made headlines for admitting involvement in 22 accident casesdespite having no actual connection to any of them. Mansuris alleged activities spanned over a decade, with the first offence recorded at Rajgadh police station in 2008 and the last at Morva Hadaf in 2019. Of the 22 cases, 20 were filed in Panchmahal district, with one each in Dahod and Kheda. His actions came to light when Udesinh Solanki filed a petition with the Halol Motor Accidents Claim Tribunal (MACT) in 2023, seeking an insurance payout from ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company. Gujarat's high claim ratiooften exceeding 130%, nearly double the national average of 60-70%reflects the prevalence of such fraudulent schemes.

Gujarat groundwater crisis: Alarming contamination levels across districts revealed

AHMEDABAD: The Government of India, in a concerning update to the Rajya Sabha, has flagged an alarming situation regarding groundwater pollution in Gujarat. According to the data wise Number of Partly Affected Districts (cumulative) with major Contaminants in Ground Water of India in 2022-23, major contaminants have affected numerous districts across the state. Salinity levels exceeding 3000 micro mhos/cm (EC) were detected in 28 districts, while fluoride levels above 1.5 mg/l plagued 30 districts. Nitrate contamination, surpassing the safe limit of 45 mg/l, was found in 32 districts, and arsenic levels above 0.01 mg/l affected 12 districts. Additionally, 14 districts reported iron concentrations exceeding 1 mg/l.

Cricketers, schoolteachers invested in Ponzi scheme: Gujarat CID

AHMEDABAD: Five to six cricketers and several schoolteachers have invested in a fraudulent scheme floated by a Sabarkantha district resident who is currently absconding, a Gujarat CID official said citing a probe into the 'Ponzi scam'. The investment by the cricketers, whose names have not been disclosed by the police, ranged up to Rs 2 crore. A Ponzi scheme is a type of fraudulent financial plan where investors are promised substantial returns in short-term. Under such a scheme, the operator pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors. Till now, three FIRs have been registered by the Gujarat Crime Investigation Department against the Ponzi scam main accused, Bhupendrasinh Zala, resident of Himatnagar taluka in Sabarkantha district, Additional Director General of Police, CID Crime and Railways, Rajkumar Pandian told reporters on Wednesday. Around five to six cricketers, including from Gujarat and some other states, had invested in Zala's Ponzi scheme. Their investment varies from a couple of lakhs to Rs 2 crore. Many a times, scamsters convince celebrities to invest in their schemes to establish their credibility among the masses, the official said. Declining to give names of these cricketers, Pandian said they will be called for questioning to find out the reasons for investing in a fraudulent scheme. We haven't come across any other celebrities who have invested in this plan, besides cricket players. Our investigation also revealed that many schoolteachers from Gujarat had invested in the Ponzi scheme, the official informed. Admitting that victims were not coming forward to file complaints due to several reasons, Pandian said the police were encouraging the duped people to share information to strengthen the case and secure conviction in court. On allegations that Zala was associated with the ruling BJP, Pandian said it is wrong to link a criminal with a party. It is wrong to associate an individual criminal to any political party or that party's leaders because many people associated with that party are also victims of the scheme, he said. So, it is wrong to claim he was associated with a party just because he was seen with two members of that party. We will not take into account party affiliation while taking action against any accused, the senior IPS officer asserted. A week ago, the CID unearthed transactions of Rs 175 crore in two bank accounts of Zala, who is accused of defrauding people by offering as high as 36 per cent annual return on deposits. Police have so far registered three FIRs, arrested an agent, and seized Rs 16.37 lakh in cash, besides three laptops, 11 mobile phones, rubber stamps, documents and PAN cards during raids on premises linked to the main accused. Based on inputs received through an anonymous application, the police put Zala's activities under surveillance a month ago and learnt he had floated a firm, BZ Financial Services, and opened its offices in north Gujarat, Gandhinagar and Vadodara to collect deposits from unsuspecting people, the CID said in a statement. ala used to identify himself as the CEO of BZ Group and would collect deposits from people in an illegal manner as he never had any approval from the RBI or any other authority. To win people's trust, he used to initially pay investors the promised returns. He had appointed agents on commission basis to lure people, it said.

Haryana serial killer in Gujarat police custody for rape and murder of teenage student

AHMEDABAD: When the Valsad police on November 25 arrested a 30-year-old man from Haryana in connection with the rape and murder of a second-year B.Com student on November 14, hardly do they know that they were dealing with a serial killer who is also a necrophile. During the initial interrogation, the suspect, identified as Rahul Jat alias Bholu Karmvir Ishwar Jat, confessed to multiple crimes including theft, robbery, rape, and murder on trains in several parts of the country. Rahul, who is a pervert, confessed to five killings within 25 days, police sources said. The police on Tuesday took the suspect to the crime scene where the 19-year-old college girl was raped and murdered for reconstructing the crime. Rahul Jat informed the police that on November 14 he arrived in Vapi and took a local train to Udvada. It was while walking on the Udvada-Pardi road that he came across the girl walking near the railway tracks. She was apparently on her way home in Motiwada village. Rahul reportedly followed her, attacked her from behind and dragged her into a nearby mango orchard where he sexually abused her before strangling her to death. He then went away bought a bottle of milk and water and returned to the orchard where he sexually abused the dead body several times before fleeing the place. Upon information, the Pardi police with the help of the girl's elder sister traced the body, took possession of it and sent it to Surat for a forensic post-mortem. A team of 10, including members from the LCB and SOG of Valsad district, conducted an extensive investigation into the case. After reviewing CCTV footage from a tuition class and the road near Udvada railway station, as well as analyzing the call details from the missing girls phone, the police were able to identify and arrest the accused. The breakthrough came after 11 days of intensive efforts. The suspect told the police that after committing the crime he used his nail cutter to extract the SIM card from the girl's cell phone. By that time it was late in the evening. Hence, he abandoned his possessions and fled by jumping over a 10-ft high wall on the other side of the orchard. Following this, he roamed the Udvada railway station and highway area till 1:30 a.m, the police said. The suspect, unable to catch a train from Udvada railway station at night, made his way to Pardi railway station. He boarded the 2:30 pm train to Valsad and, during the reconstruction of the crime, confessed to traveling further to Surat and Vadodara by another train. After the accused was arrested on Sunday, Valsad police produced him in court, where they secured his remand until December 5.
