25 Bangladeshi nationals held in Tirupur for illegal entry, stay
Tirupur: The Palladam police on Thursday arrested 25 Bangladeshi nationals for illegal entry and stay in India. Employed with garment units in the district, all the arrested were residing in and around Palladam for more than five years.
According to a police officer, the illegal immigrants were nabbed based on a specific tip that Palladam police inspector Mathaiyan and team received on the day.
"The team received information that a group of Bangladeshi nationals were residing in rental houses at Kunnangalpalayam near Palladam. They subsequently searched the area and collected identity proofs from the residents. All of them had Aadhaar cards. The team verified the addresses and found that 25 of them with a West Bengal address were Bangladeshi nationals and they had obtained Aadhaar cards by forging documents," the officer said.
He said some of the Bangladeshi nationals were residing in the area for more than a decade. "All the arrested managed to enter India illegally through West Bengal and reached Tirupur by train. They were staying in rental houses at Kunnangalpalayam near Karaipudur. They took the houses on rent by submitting Aadhaar cards as their address proof."
The arrested Bangladeshi nationals were produced before a judicial magistrate court, which remanded them in judicial custody.

Shooting at Mohali disco: Club owner used illegal pistol, say cops
1 2 Mohali: The disco owner who shot a man during a late-night altercation at Skull Club in Bestech Mall, Phase 11, used an illegally procured pistol stored in his desk drawer, police said on Friday. The incident, which occurred around 1 am on Thursday, left the victim, Sidharth Delu of Ganganagar, Rajasthan, critically injured. According to police, the root of the confrontation was an accidental brush between Delu's female companion and the accused, club owner Aditya Vij, on the dance floor. "The victim was dancing with his female friends when Aditya's shoulder accidentally hit one of them. This minor incident triggered a heated argument between Delu and Vij," said DSP Harsimran Singh Bal. The verbal spat escalated and spilled outside the disco, where, in a fit of rage, Vij allegedly retrieved a .32 bore pistol from his office drawer and shot Delu in the stomach. The police confirmed that the weapon used was illegal and added that they will recommend cancellation of the club's bar licence. "It is purely his mistake. He should have de-escalated the situation as the club's owner, but chose to act violently instead. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brass Krishna Idols For Prosperity & Protection In Life Luxeartisanship Shop Now Undo We will recommend cancellation of his operational licence," DSP Bal said.

NMC Digging Ban Junked, Roads Battered All Around
Nagpur: The Nagpur Municipal Corporation's (NMC) ban on road digging after May 31 has turned into a farce as unauthorised excavation continues across the city. NMC's water works department reported digging at at least 18 locations in city, openly defying municipal commissioner Abhijeet Chaudhari's directive. Despite clear instructions to all departments and contractors not to undertake any trenching during the monsoon, civic officials failed to enforce the order, leaving citizens to suffer through crumbling roads, traffic snarls, and unsafe commuting conditions. Chaudhari not only barred digging after May 31 but also ordered restoration of previously excavated roads before the onset of rains. He warned of criminal action and penalties against violators. However, multiple agencies — ranging from utility firms to private contractors — carried on excavation work, particularly for cable laying and infrastructure upgrades, many without permission from the NMC's public works department. Nowhere is this failure more evident than in areas under Mangalwari zone. Near Old Katol Naka Square, for instance, the road remains half-cut and dangerously uneven. Despite being aware of at least two such violations, the zone officials have not acted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Across the city, the situation is no better. Deep trenches at many locations are left unbarricaded, and patchwork left unfinished has turned the stretch into a hazard for two-wheeler riders and pedestrians. Residents report frequent near-miss accidents and daily inconveniences, especially during peak traffic hours. Many key stretches have been dug up and abandoned, with debris dumped by the roadside. In several locations, construction mud and loose gravel lie scattered, adding to the danger with the monsoon approaching. Though some pipeline and power supply damage occurred due to this careless work, the civic body's bigger failure is in not restoring roads and ensuring accountability. Even large projects like AMRUT 2.0 and private cable laying are being carried out without adhering to post-digging restoration norms. Mounds of debris are left unattended for days, further clogging the already narrow roads. OCW, the city's water operator, reported 17 incidents in June where their pipelines were damaged due to such illegal roadwork and has sought action against contractors. While the NMC claims to have lodged FIRs against at least three contractors in connection with damages, there's no visible deterrence on the ground. The commissioner's own order to hold errant officials accountable for failing to stop illegal digging remains largely unimplemented. Even Chaudhari, during his visit to the Hanuman Nagar zone office, was appraised by the ex-corporators that despite levying a Rs1 crore fine on contractors entrusted to carry out sewerage network works under the Amrut 2.0 project, the dug-up roads were still not restored. This shows the casual approach of the NMC's PWD engineers to implement the civic chief's diktat.

Mandya MFI official abducts 2 minors to recover EMI
Mandya: There have been several incidents in the recent past when a section of microfinance institutions (MFIs) operating in Karnataka have been found guilty of adopting unethical loan-recovery methods, prompting the state govt to introduce stringent legal measures to regulate such firms and ensure protection of consumer rights. However, despite the legal safeguards, the menace reared its ugly head yet again as this latest incident in Mandya district reveals, where an executive from a microfinance firm allegedly abducted two minors on Monday over a loan instalment that was reportedly overdue by only a few days. Police said the accused kidnapped two cousins, a minor girl, 7, and a boy, 13, from their home in Chilkunda village while their parents were away, apparently to show him the way to the girl's mother's workplace, where he confronted her over the unpaid EMI. Though the children were later dropped back home by the accused, the minor girl's father filed an FIR on Friday, accusing the finance company and its executive of kidnapping the two children and insulting his wife. The complaint attracts provisions of a new law governing microfinance institutions in the state under the Karnataka Micro Loan and Small Loan (Prevention of Coercive Actions) Act, 2025. Speaking in Bengaluru, home minister G Parameshwara assured that if there was any wrongdoing, strict action would be initiated against the offenders. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Speel gratis in je browser – Geen download of installatie nodig!

"When we asked the children, they said they were not abused, or threatened by the accused, who was warned and let off," Ravichandra added. Sources claimed the finance company official had taken the two children on his bike to the workplace of the girl's mother, who is employed in an incense stick rolling unit.
