NIA raids residence of NTK functionary over suspected LTTE links

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted a raid on the premises of a Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) functionary on Friday for reportedly having links with the banned Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
A team of NIA raided the residence of Vigneswaran (27) at Sivaganga.
Sources in the Sivaganga district police superintendent’s office told IANS that the raids commenced early in the morning at his residence near Mannar Duraisingam Arts and Science College road.
Police sources also said that Vigneswaran is alleged to have links with some of the cadres of the now-defunct LTTE and that the 27-year-old was working in Chennai.
The central agencies are on high alert on the possibility of regrouping of the LTTE cadres in Tamil Nadu. A former LTTE intelligence operative, Sabesan alias Satkunam, was arrested in October 2021 on charges of coordinating the smuggling of drugs from Pakistan to Sri Lanka and using the proceeds for activities of the defunct LTTE.
The NTK, founded by actor and director Seeman, has been advocating strong Tamil nationalism. Seeman has also announced the making of a new movie on slain LTTE chief Velupillai Prabakaran. The movie to be directed by Vetrimaaran will be produced by Seeman.

Bihar: BSc Student Shot Dead By Father-In-Law In Front Of His Wife In Darbhanga Over Intercaste Marriage, Accused Beaten Up By Hostel Students

Darbhanga: A shocking incident surfaced from Bihar’s Darbhanga, where a man allegedly shot dead his son-in-law in front of his daughter. The deceased has been identified as Rahul Kumar, a 25-year-old second-year student of BSc (Nursing) at Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital.
The accused, Premshankar Jha, opened fire at Kumar in front of his newlywedded wife, Tannu Priya. Jha was upset due to Priya’s intercaste marriage with Kumar. The victim was rushed to a hospital. However, he could not survive.
Priya is a first-year nursing student. She got married to Kumar four months ago. They reportedly stayed on different floors in the same hostel building. The woman notices that a person wearing a hoodie approached her husband on Tuesday evening.
“He had a gun. It was my father, Premshankar Jha. He shot my husband in the chest, in front of my eyes. My husband fell into my lap,” she said as quoted by the media house. The woman alleged that her whole family was part of the conspiracy to kill her husband.
“We had also gone to court and said that my father and my brothers may harm me or my husband,” Priya added. Kumar’s friends also beat up Jha after he shot at the victim. He was also rushed to a hospital. The video of students beating up the accused also surfaced online.
After receiving the information, a senior official rushed to the spot. Jha was taken into custody. “A love affair was ongoing with the deceased, and a love marriage had taken place in April 2025. After the death incident, the people present there caught and beat Prem Shankar Jha, due to which Prem Shankar Jha is injured and has been sent to PMCH Patna for treatment,” the Darbhanga Police said.

Navi Mumbai: Rabale Police Recover ₹19.13 Lakh Gold, Phone Of Panvel Vegetable Vendor Within 12 Hours Of Complaint

Navi Mumbai: Rabale police recovered gold jewellery worth Rs19.13 lakh and a mobile phone within 12 hours of them going missing, bringing relief to 58-year-old Shakuntala Gaikar, a vegetable vendor from Panvel.
On July 31, Gaikar visited Ghansoli Market for her daily business. After returning home, she realised her bag – with ornaments and phone – was missing. She promptly filed a complaint.
A swift investigation began combing through CCTV footage from Ghansoli to Talavali and within hours, officials traced a suspect and recovered the valuables. The mobile phone proved crucial in tracking the location. Gaikar had been carrying her gold daily out of fear of home theft. “We are checking the suspect’s claim that he found the bag and didn’t steal it,” said a senior police inspector. An FIR was earlier filed against an unknown person, but the case’s direction could change based on further verification.

‘Shirt Photo’ Code Cracked: Mumbai’s Sakinaka Police Reveal Modus Operandi In ₹434-Crore Mysuru Drug Racket, Days After Powai Raid

Mumbai: In a major update to the Rs 434-crore inter-state drug bust, Mumbai’s Sakinaka Police have uncovered the modus operandi of the gangs involved, a unique ‘shirt photo’ code used to smuggle mephedrone (MD) between cities.
Quoting police, two separate gangs worked in tandem to shift the contraband from a drug manufacturing unit in Karnataka’s Mysuru to Mumbai. One gang would deliver the consignment to Bengaluru.
The other, unconnected directly, would pick it up using a WhatsApp image of a shirt as a covert identification signal. This photograph-based code was used to avoid verbal communication and detection. The drugs were then transported to Mumbai via road routes.
This new revelation comes days after a godown was raided in Powai on July 30, where police seized 21.9 kg of MD and chemicals worth Rs 44 crore from Shop No. 9, Prathmesh Galaxy, near Hiranandani in Powai. The accused had disguised the facility as a colour distribution unit on the ground floor of a residential building.
“We were able to trace the Powai godown based on interrogation. The accused had told neighbouring shopkeepers and building members that they were running a colour distribution business. Under that guise, they were storing drugs, chemicals, and equipment,” said Investigating Officer Dayanand Walave. Deputy Commissioner of Police Datta Nalawade said further arrests are likely as more names have surfaced during interrogation.
The bust is a continuation of a larger probe that began on April 24 this year, when Sadiq Shaikh (27) was arrested in Sakinaka with 52 grams of MD. That arrest triggered a chain reaction, leading to multiple raids and arrests across Mumbai, Gujarat and Karnataka.
Eventually, on July 26, police raided a large-scale MD manufacturing unit near Belavatha in Mysuru and seized 214 kg of MD, precursor chemicals, and lab equipment worth Rs 390 crore. This included an additional 4.5 kg of MD recovered from Kaman village, Vasai.
So far, eight individuals have been arrested, four from the Mumbai-Gujarat-Mysuru link and four directly associated with the Mysuru factory. Police say three of the arrested have past criminal records, with one facing as many as 16 cases under the NDPS Act and for assault.
