Advocate General Kishore Dutta has approached the division bench of Justice Debangshu Basak, seeking the death penalty for Sanjay Roy. The matter has been allowed to be filed.

The Sealdah Civil and Criminal Court announced life imprisonment for the accused Sanjay Roy in the RG Kar rape and murder case. Along with this, the court has also fined Rs 50,000 to the accused.

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee Expresses Dissatisfaction

Earlier, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday expressed dissatisfaction over the court giving life imprisonment to the convict in the RG Kar hospital rape-murder case and said if the case had been with Kolkata Police, they would have ensured a death penalty.

“I learned about the sentencing from the media. We have always demanded capital punishment and we continue to stand by it. However, this is the court’s decision and I can’t say much about this. For three other cases, Kolkata police ensured capital punishment through thorough investigations concluded within 54-60 days. This was a serious case. Had it been under our purview, we would have ensured the death penalty long back,” CM Mamata said while addressing the media at Malda.

Victim’s Father Rejects Compensation

On Monday, RG Kar’s rape and murder case victim’s father rejected the Rs 17 lakh compensation and said that he will move to a higher court seeking the death penalty for the accused.

Speaking to Media, the victim’s father said “What the Court thinks as a good judgement based on the evidence produced by the CBI, the Court has given that verdict. We have a lot of questions on the investigation done by CBI. We did not go to the court for compensation. We want justice, not compensation. Kolkata police did wrong and the CBI will have to do something. The Kolkata police have given us more pain than the passing away of my daughter.”

Looting from poor slum dwellers in Byculla! Builder and E ward officials benefited by around 500 crores

Published

Homes built on huts of poor people. The dark truth of collusion between BMCE ward officials and builders.

Mumbai: It is the dream of a common man to have his own house and when, after showing sympathy for them, their house is snatched away, then there is only curse on their lips. We are talking about hundreds of such families who were promised to be given permanent houses in place of their huts and the government also declared them entitled to permanent houses but some corrupt officials of Mumbai Municipal Corporation sold the files of their houses to well-known builders and these builders call themselves clean and righteous.

The work of removing hundreds of huts under E Ward Office started in the year 2017, in which the local corporator Raees Sheikh struggled a lot so that these footpath dwellers get permanent houses and the next generation of footpath dwellers who have been living like animals for many years can live in a good house, but the opposite happened.

You will be surprised to know that the BMC officials who bring shame to humanity have traded their integrity with the builders. Many hut owners were called and threatened to vacate their place and they will not get the house because their documents are not complete and they are ineligible for a government house. The frightened people appealed to social workers and local leaders that where will they go but nothing was achieved.

Assistant Engineer Parveen Mulk, Amjad Khan and other supporting officials working in the maintenance department of BMC E department called all the hut owners individually and held a meeting. In this meeting, the sub engineer and people of the local builder were also kept. The entire work was done under a well thought out conspiracy.

BMC officials issued a notice that you have to vacate the footpath and your documents are not enough to prove that you have been living there for 50 years. Meanwhile, the frightened hut holder was threatened by the builder’s man and then an affidavit was taken from the hut owner that he has given his hut to the builder’s relatives or his employees and in return the builder gave him some money so that he can settle in a rented house somewhere else.

Now the corrupt BMC E department officials have told in their report that when the hut was inspected, the person in whose name the hut was located was not found and the person whom he had allowed to live there, we have considered him as the hut owner and he will be given a house by the government.

In the next episode, this builder requests BMC to give space to the huts taken in his name and the huts in the name of his relatives in the high profile building being constructed by his company, which is accepted after taking money and the slum dwellers who are bogus are told to be shifted to the high profile project of the builder. Not only this, in lieu of giving place to these slum dwellers in his project, the builder also takes a good FSI from the government.

Do not forget to read in the next issue in which buildings houses worth crores have been given to slum dwellers, who are the corrupt officers and who are those kind cheater builders

Torres Jewellery Ponzi Scam: Accused Armen Ataine Booked For Forged Birth Certificate In Mumbai

Published

on

Mumbai: In a shocking development in the multi-crore Torres scam, the Bhoiwada Police have registered a case against accused Armen Ataine (48) for illegally obtaining a fake birth certificate from the BMC’s F-South Ward. Along with Armen, two unidentified individuals who assisted him in acquiring the fraudulent document have also been booked under sections 120B, 34, 420, 465, 467, 468, 471, and 474 of the Indian Penal Code.

During the investigation, the Bhoiwada Police discovered that Armen’s father, Garun Ataine, had lived in Lalbaug’s Jam Building between 1975 and 1978. Armen allegedly used this information to fraudulently secure an Indian birth certificate.

The Torres scam came to light in January, and the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) is currently handling the case. So far, six accused have been arrested, including Armen, who was apprehended a few days ago from Madh Road in Malad. Currently in judicial custody, Armen is expected to be handed over to the Bhoiwada Police for further investigation into the forged birth certificate case.

According to EOW findings, Armen obtained a fake birth certificate from the BMC’s F-South Ward to acquire an Indian passport. Since this ward falls under the jurisdiction of the Bhoiwada Police Station, the EOW requested them to file a case. Following an inquiry, the Bhoiwada Police registered an FIR against Armen and two others late last night.

Further investigations revealed that Armen used an address from the fake birth certificate to claim Indian nationality. The Bhoiwada Police visited Jam Building No. 2, Room No. 22 in Lalbaug, where they spoke to society chairman Mahesh Hendra and other members. They confirmed that Garun Ataine and his family lived there between 1975 and 1978 before moving out.

Armen, who has acted in minor roles in Bollywood films, holds a Ukrainian passport. However, he allegedly sought an Indian passport using the fraudulent birth certificate, which stated that he was born in 1976 in Mumbai. Investigations are ongoing.
