With DNA result awaited, mother seeks CBI probe in missing baby case
After fighting hard to get her missing baby that was forcibly taken away by her parents, 22-year-old Anupama is eagerly waiting to hear the result of the DNA test, and she now wants a CBI probe to dig deeper.
“Yes, I am excited and am waiting to hear the DNA result. We have named our son as Aiden Anu Ajith. We will now seek a CBI probe as we are now certain that truth will never come out if the Kerala Police probes this,” said Anupama, who is on a sit-in protest in front of the office of Kerala State Council for Child Welfare (KSCCWC). She is seeking action against the officials of the Council and also the Child Welfare Committee (CWC).
Incidentally, the first battle was won by Anupama when on Sunday night a four-member team formed on the directions of the CWC returned with the ‘missing’ baby from Andhra Pradesh.
And on Monday, the couple and the baby’s samples were taken for the conduct of the DNA test. The result is expected on Tuesday or Wednesday.
It was a family court here, which acted first and when it was to have given the final clearance for their adoption, a huge media blitz came as a succour to Anupama. The Pinarayi Vijayan government directed the CWC and KSCCWC to act quickly after the court stopped all the follow up procedures for legalising the adoption to the Andhra couple.
Anupama, the SFI activist and granddaughter of one of the topmost yesteryear CPI-M leaders in the state capital, and her husband Ajith had approached the state police chief and the CWC, but it was only after the couple approached the media that things started to move in their favour. Now all eyes are on the results of the DNA.

Mumbai: Wadala TT Police Arrest Constable’s Wife And Son After Probe Reveals Suspicious Death And Property Dispute Motive

Mumbai: The Wadala Truck Terminal Police have arrested a woman and her son in connection with the suspicious death of her husband, a police constable, Pravin Suryavanshi, 52. The accused, Smita Suryavanshi, 42, and her son Pratik Suryavanshi, 22, were arrested on Tues day after a preliminary probe.
The police suspect Pravin was pushed, causing head and hand injuries. The probe revealed that the motive was that Pravin did not give his monthly salary to his family and refused to transfer his properties in Kalyan and Nashik to his son’s name.
The incident occurred on May 9, at the Officer’s Police Colony in Pratiksha Nagar. Initially, the Wadala TT police registered a case of accidental death on June 13. However, the deceased’s siblings suspected foul play.
The post-mortem report was also a crucial turning point, revealing “hemorrhage and shock due to multiple injuries over body, unnatural death”. The report further detailed that Pravin had sustained a staggering 38 injuries.
Police found discrepancies in the statements given by Smita and Pratik, with evidence pointing to at least 15 points of contradiction. The probe uncovered a long history of marital disputes. The day of the incident was no exception.
The police said the couple did not call for help from neighbours or the police; instead, they enlisted a person from an adjacent building to take Pravin to the hospital. Further more, Pratik reportedly went to smoke a cigarette while his father was lying injured in the house. This delay in seeking medical attention is believed to have contributed to Pravin’s death.
Inside the home, investigators found blood splattered in two different locations. The window panes, where a scuffle was believed to have taken place, were found to have fallen inwards rather than outwards.

ED mulls joining probe into luxury car smuggling racket after DRI, Customs crackdown

ED
Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 24: A day after a joint raid conducted by the DRI and Customs officials into the luxury car smuggling racket through its ‘Operation Numkhor’, which exposed tax evasion worth crores through illegal imports routed via Bhutan, the Enforcement Directorate is mulling joining the probe.
On Tuesday, the raid confiscated about 36 cars from various people, including Mammootty’s actor son Dulquer Salman, upcoming actor Amit Chakalackal and others.
The high-profile inspections began Tuesday morning and are being carried out simultaneously at nearly 30 locations across Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam, Kottayam, Kozhikode, and Malappuram districts.
Meanwhile, notices have been served to all the wrongdoers.
Salman and Chackalackal’s vehicles were seized. Even though the raid team reached Prithviraj’s home, they were unable to go further. However, the probe team is likely to serve a notice to Prithviraj.
ED officials collected case files and intelligence directly from Customs officers, following revelations that large-scale financial irregularities were linked to the racket.
The top Customs official had confirmed the need to examine possible money laundering angles, leading to ED’s intervention.
Investigators suspect that funds generated through these vehicle transactions could have been diverted.
Along with ED, other central agencies are also expected to probe.
Initial Customs findings indicated that multiple individuals engaged in financial fraud through the vehicle trade, with deals worth several crores.
ED is examining violations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
Documents relating to these violations have already been collected.
The ED believes that luxury cars were purchased by influential individuals to launder illegally earned money.
Customs had earlier revealed that the racket caused significant Goods and Services Tax (GST) evasion.
The Central GST Department has also initiated a separate investigation.
Meanwhile, Customs is preparing to share details with the Ministry of External Affairs, as forged embassy documents are suspected to have been used in registering some vehicles.
