Ganjam police arrest 18 criminals, seize 17 firearms amid rising violent crime spree
BERHAMPUR: Finding itself on a sticky wicket over a recent spurt in violent crimes, Ganjam police has arrested 18 criminals and seized 17 illegal firearms with 66 live ammunition from them. Addressing mediapersons at Chhatrapur on Sunday, IG (Southern range) Niti Shekhar and Ganjam SP Suvendu Patra said the crackdown was part of preventive policing in the district. The 18 criminals include members of an organised crime syndicate. Patra said Sheragada police arrested six criminals and seized five country-made pistols and 22 live ammunition from them. Similarly, Kotinada police arrested five criminals and seized four pistols and 16 live ammunition. Aska police arrested four criminals and seized three pistols and 12 ammunition. Bhanjanagar, Polasara and Chamakhandi police arrested one criminal each. The arrested criminals are history-sheeters, he informed. Police suspect that the seized weapons were procured from outside Odisha. Special teams will be formed to trace and dismantle the supply chain. Police are also mulling seizure of properties acquired illegally by the criminals. Police have invoked the newly introduced section 111 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita which deals with organised crime along with the Arms Act and other relevant provisions, Patra said and added that patrolling will be intensified in rural areas in the coming days. Notably, the district witnessed seven murders in the last one week. On May 1, a 17-year-old girl was reportedly murdered at her home by a stalker in Karapalli village within Gopalpur police limits in Ganjam district. On April 29, a 30-year-old man was found murdered on the roadside with his throat slit in K Nuagaon police limits of Berhampur. Similarly, an elderly man was beaten to death by his son over a family dispute at Purusottampur in the district on April 28. In the night on April 26, two siblings were allegedly murdered and their bodies set ablaze in Beguniapada. The same night, a 30-year-old man was reportedly killed by his elder brother over a property dispute in Bramhanapadar village within Tarasing police limits. A four-year-old girl was raped and murdered in an under-construction anganwadi centre at Khalingi village in Sanakhemundi block on April 25.
MADURAI: The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has held that for conviction under charges of criminal conspiracy, it is not necessary that the accused should have direct involvement in the crime or be physically present at the crime scene. A bench of justices G Jayachandran and R Poornima observed so while confirming the conviction of eight persons for the murder of a man in Madurai in 2014 while hearing a batch of appeals filed by them challenging the life sentence imposed by a sessions court in 2022. According to the prosecution, the deceased, Alagarsami, had enmity with the first accused Vijayalingam, who was his relative, over a Karuvelam tree contract. A criminal case was also pending against Alagarsami for allegedly trying to murder Vijayalingam. In August 2014, all ten accused (including Vijayalingams minor son) gathered at Vijayalingams house at the advice of his nephew Neethirajan and planned to murder Alagarsami to put an end to the issue. This was reportedly overheard by one of the witnesses and he advised Alagarsami to settle the issue amicably. However, he decided to take legal recourse. A week later when Alagarsami, his father-in-law, wife and minor daughter were waiting at the bus stop, all the accused except Neethirajan came to the spot and hacked him to death. Based on the statement of one of the accused Niranjan, who was inadvertently injured by another accused during the incident, the police registered two FIRs, one for Alagarsami and another for Niranjan, who died two days later. Hearing the appeals, the judges rejected the contention of the convicts that some of their names were not in the FIR. The FIR is not an encyclopaedia. When the offence is committed in furtherance of a conspiracy which is a crime hatched in secrecy, the law does not expect names of all the accused to be mentioned in the FIR, they said. They also opined that when about 10 persons surround a man and attack him indiscriminately, contradictions among the eye witnesses on minor aspects are bound to happen and the same will not affect the overall evidence incriminating the accused. The judges also added that execution of the crime or physical presence at the time of execution is not required to punish a person for the offence under Section 120 B IPC (punishment for criminal conspiracy).
Social justice to be key plank in BJP outreach campaign on caste census
NEW DELHI: After launching a strong political narrative around reforming the Waqf system, the BJP is now preparing a broad outreach campaign on its decision to implement a caste census. It plans to frame it as part of the upcoming national census to boost social justice for marginalised and underprivileged communities. Party sources shared with this newspaper that the campaign will particularly target Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and Dalits, aiming to counter the Congresss historical stance. BJP leaders and workers will tour OBC-dominated regions, promoting the governments commitment to social justice and data-driven policy-making. The partys message will highlight that while Congress allegedly leveraged caste politics for electoral advantage, it failed to fulfil long-standing demands for a caste census. In contrast, the BJP plans toposition itself as the party that has taken concrete action on the issue. Speaking to this newspaper, a senior party functionary said the party intends to expose the Congresss hollow claim on caste census, referencing the partys alleged opposition to caste-based reservations and its shelving of the Kaka Kalelkar report. For Congress and other parties, the caste census has been a tool to garner electoral gains, while for us, it is to ensure social justice and equality through the caste enumeration. remarked a BJP leader. Home Minister Amit Shah recently criticised Congress and its allies for their position on the caste census. The Congress and its allies opposed the caste census for decades while in power and played politics over it while in the opposition. The decision of the Modi government will empower all economically and socially backward classes, promote inclusion and pave new paths for the progress of the deprived, Shah stated. A senior BJP leader, speaking on anonymity, said, This is about acknowledging the realities of social structure and ensuring better targeting of welfare schemes. We want to show the people that under PM Modis leadership, the party has taken bold steps for inclusive development by deciding to include caste enumeration in the next national census. The BJP will remind the public how the UPA government under Manmohan Singh pledged a caste census in 2011 but only carried out the Socio-Economic Caste Census and how its leaders were reluctant about it. With key states such as Bihar, UP, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal heading to Assembly polls and with national elections scheduled for 2029, the BJP plans to hone its appeal to crucial voter groups, particularly OBCs and Dalits, who could play a decisive role in the upcoming contests. BJP hits out at Rahuls Lord Ram remarks The BJP on Sunday slammed Rahul Gandhi for calling Lord Ram a mythological figure and said the Congress leader had exposed his partys anti-Hindu face. Amit Malviya lambasted the Congress and Rahul for the comments that he claimed ridiculed beliefs of billions of Hindus worldwide.
Drug-fuelled crimes on the rise in Kerala
KOCHI: Kerala is witnessing a disturbing trend as the number of crimes committed under the influence of drugs and alcohol continues to rise sharply. In 2024 alone, the state has seen a more than 120% increase in criminal cases involving intoxicated individuals. In January, a 53-year-old woman was hacked to death by her son, Ashiq, 24, in Thamarassery. Ashiq was a known drug addict. Last month, in Engapuzha, Kozhikode, a 25-year-old man under the influence of drugs brutally murdered his wife. In another case, a 35-year-old attacked his elderly parents in Tanur, Malappuram, after they refused to give him money to buy drugs. These incidents are no longer isolated. In 2024 alone, 88 criminal cases, including murder, rape, attempted murder, and assault, committed under the influence of drugs or alcohol have been reported. In contrast, there were 37 such cases in 2023, 28 in 2022, and just 16 in 2021. Between January and March 15 this year, 23 cases have already been recorded. Renowned criminologist James Vadackumcherry believes the actual number of such incidents is much higher, as many cases remain within the confines of the family and go unreported. Son attacking parents, husband assaulting wife, these cases are often hidden behind closed doors. They only come to light when grave crimes occur, James said. According to James, there is a clear link between the rise in drug and alcohol abuse and these violent incidents, especially among youngsters. The government must take proactive measures to curb drug trafficking and substance abuse, he said. Dr Arun B Nair, professor of psychiatry at Thiruvananthapuram Medical College, pointed out that the surge in crime and drug abuse among youth are linked to social isolation, impulsive behaviour, and improper parenting. Youngsters today are more isolated and impulsive. In such a state, drug abuse becomes the final trigger. Drugs impair the prefrontal cortex - the part of the brain responsible for decision-making and social behaviour - leading to violent reactions in adverse situations, he explained. According to him, with access to overwhelming information from multiple platforms, todays youth are losing their ability to think critically. This often results in a dismissive attitude toward parents. To combat the crisis, Arun suggests the need for imparting early education to both children and parents. Reducing demand is key. We need to start training children from a young age. Life skills education that teaches resilience and emotional regulation must be incorporated into school curriculums. Though a curriculum was drafted, it needs to be implemented without delay. Identifying and nurturing each childs talents is crucial. Parents, too, should be part of this process - schools must ensure that fathers, in particular, attend PTA training sessions. Arun also highlighted the importance of extracurricular activities in crime prevention. Encouraging participation in sports and cultural events is vital. Studies show that sports helps reduce digital and drug addictions. Schools must revive defunct clubs and actively promote student involvement based on their interests and abilities, he added.

On Kerala HCs directive, CBI registers its first cybercrime case in the State
KOCHI: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered its first cybercrime case in Kerala, in which an elderly man lost Rs 1.04 crore to scammers. The case, initially registered at the Thrissur cybercrime police station, was transferred to the CBI on a directive of the Kerala High Court in March. CBIs special crime branch has re-registered the FIR with the Ernakulam Chief Judicial Magistrate Court and commenced the probe. According to officers, the case involves a 75-year-old businessman from Thrissur who was targeted by cybercriminals last July. On July 20, 2024, the victim received a phone call from an unknown number. The caller introduced himself as Ajay Kumar of FedEx couriers, Mumbai, and claimed that a parcel booked in the victims name, destined for Russia, had been intercepted by customs for the presence of drugs. The call was then transferred to another individual posing as an officer with the cybercrime department of Mumbai police. This person told the victim that his bank account had to be verified as part of the investigation. The businessman was instructed to transfer his entire bank balance into an account provided by fraudsters. Between July 22 and 24, the victim transferred Rs 1.04 crore. It was only the following day that he realised he had been defrauded and reported the incident to police. The case was handed over to the CBI due to the interstate nature of the crime and the involvement of multiple bank accounts across the country, a CBI officer said. The case had initially been investigated by an assistant commissioner of police with the crime branch, Thrissur City. However, jurisdictional limitations were hindering effective investigation, prompting the court to entrust the case to us. CBI officers confirmed that several bank accounts to which the money was routed had been identified. We have just begun the investigation and are in the process of collecting case files and evidence from local police. The money trail has been mapped by police, and we will interrogate account holders in the coming weeks. Our branches in other states will also assist in tracking leads across India, the officer added. The case has been registered under Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Section 66D of the Information Technology Act, which deals with cheating by impersonation using electronic communication. This is the first cybercrime case to be probed by CBI in Kerala.

K Kavitha calls for 'Samajika Telangana' to eliminate inequalities; vows action for social justice
HYDERABAD: BRS MLC K Kavitha on Thursday said that though a separate geographical Telangana state was achieved, social justice (samajika Telangana) was not delivered to the people. Addressing the gathering during the May Day celebrations organised at her Banjara Hills residence in Hyderabad, Kavitha called for elimination of inequality in Telangana society. During the BRS regime, Rs 10,000 per acre assistance was provided to farmers under the Rythu Bandhu scheme. If a farmer had 10 acres, he used to get Rs 1 lakh. But we failed to deliver justice to agriculture labourers who had no land, she said. The BRS leader also spoke about difference in per capita income of neighbouring districts of Rangareddy and Vikarabad. Rangareddy districts per capita income is Rs 8 lakh. Just 10 km away in Vikarabad, the per capita income is just Rs 1.5 lakh. This is a dangerous sign. There is a need to eliminate this inequality in the spirit of May Day, she said. Kavitha said that she will initiate steps for achieving samajika Telangana and to eliminate inequalities in the state.
