Legacy issues, policies of previous regimes led to corrupt ecosystem, says PM Modi

New Delhi, April 21. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday blamed legacy issues and policies of previous governments that have led to the emergence of a corrupt ecosystem.
Addressing civil servants on the 16th civil services day at Vigyan Bhawan, PM Modi gave examples of results from policies of previous governments and mentioned that there were more than four crore fake gas connections, more than four crore fake ration cards, and support was provided to one crore fictitious women and children by the ministry of women and child development.
He added that even fake scholarships were offered to approximately 30 lakh youths by the ministry of minority affairs and lakhs of fake accounts were created under MGNREGA to transfer the benefits of workers who never existed.
He credited the civil servants for the transformation that has taken place in the system where roughly Rs 3 lakh crore have been saved from landing in the wrong hands, which is now being used for the welfare of the poor.
“For a developed India, the government system should support the aspirations of common people,” he added.
“Earlier the thinking was that the government will do everything, but now thinking is that the government will work for everyone,” the prime minister said while highlighting the change in attitude of bureaucracy.
He added that the motto of the government is ‘Nation First-Citizen First’ and it is prioritising the deprived.
“It is the duty of the bureaucracy to analyse whether a political party is making use of taxpayers’ money for the benefit of their own organisation or for the nation,” Modi said.

Mumbai Cybercrime: 52-Year-Old Police Constable Posted At Bandra Kurla Complex Loses ₹94,103 In Online Fraud

Mumbai: A police constable attached to the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) police station was cheated of Rs 94,103 in an online fraud. The complainant, Constable Sachin Chavan, 52, fell victim when a caller falsely claimed to have mistakenly transferred Rs 30,000 into his account and requested the amount back.
According to the FIR, Chavan, posted at the BKC police station for the past six months, received the call on September 9 at 7.46 pm. The caller said the money was meant for a hospital and asked him to keep the line active while checking bank messages. Chavan then found a message confirming Rs 30,000 had been credited. The caller provided an account number, asking him to first transfer Rs 5,000 and promising further details for the balance.
Chavan transferred Rs 5,000 and shared a screenshot. Soon after, the caller sent a link, instructing him to press it twice and enter a code. Chavan complied, resulting in Rs 77,091 and later Rs 12,012 being debited from his account. A case was registered under sections 318(4) (cheating) and 319(2) (cheating by personation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act, on October 1.

The Police further said that the group changed the procession route without permission.

TN Police launch manhunt for TVK’s Namakkal district secy after Madras HC rejects bail plea

Chennai, Oct 4: The Tamil Nadu Police have intensified efforts to trace and arrest N. Satish Kumar, Namakkal district secretary of actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), after he went missing following the dismissal of his anticipatory bail petition, officials said on Saturday.
Two special squads have been formed under the supervision of Inspector Kabilan to locate the absconding TVK functionary, according to official sources.
The action comes after the Madras High Court on Friday denied anticipatory bail to Satish Kumar in connection with a case registered for allegedly attacking a private hospital in Namakkal.
The incident reportedly occurred when TVK leader Vijay was campaigning in the district ahead of the Assembly elections scheduled to be held next year.
Satish Kumar approached the court seeking protection from arrest.
During the hearing, his counsel, advocate A. Murugavel, said that his client was being falsely implicated for political reasons.
“The petitioner has not committed any crime. The case was filed solely because he happened to be present at the location when the incident took place,” Murugavel added.
However, the prosecution strongly opposed the plea, presenting details of damages caused during the unrest.
Police counsel said that TVK cadres had damaged hospital property worth Rs 5 lakh during the incident.
They also said that eight other criminal cases were already pending against Satish Kumar, including charges related to public property destruction.
The police also submitted photographic evidence from the spot to substantiate their claims.
After examining the images, Justice N. Senthilkumar said that as a district-level TVK leader, Satish Kumar, could not disown responsibility for the violent actions of his cadre.
“If party members were engaged in such acts, how can the petitioner claim ignorance? Shouldn’t he have exercised control over them?” the judge remarked before rejecting the anticipatory bail plea.
With the court’s decision, the Namakkal police have stepped up operations to track down Satish Kumar, who has reportedly been untraceable since the judgment.
Officers said that both squads are actively following leads and scanning possible hideouts.
The move is seen as part of a broader crackdown on political violence and property damage during election campaigns.
Authorities indicated that if Satish Kumar fails to surrender, further legal steps, including issuing a lookout notice, could follow.
The police have appealed to the people to share information on his whereabouts confidentially.
