Gang near Sealdah hospitals seeks ‘help', dupes youth
Kolkata: Seeking financial help for hospital treatment, followed by intimidation and threats, has emerged as yet another modus operandi being adopted by fraudsters. Ashik Paria (23), a law student, was waiting between the Sealdah bridge and B R Singh Hospital, when a couple approached him, saying they needed an online transaction of Rs 5,000 for a hospitalised relative and that if he paid on the number they provided, they would repay him in cash immediately. The couple even showed Paria a document, which seemed legitimate to the youth, said police. Convinced that the couple's need was genuine, Paria scanned the QR code on the couple's mobile payment service app and transferred Rs 5,000. Once the transaction was completed, the man denied receiving the money, despite Paria showing on his own phone that the money had been sent, said police. Several others, evidently from the same gang, surrounded Paria and intimidated him, telling him to leave. They threatened Paria if he dared to pursue the matter, police added. Paria contacted his bank, trying to recover the money but even after a 48-hour investigation, the transaction could not be reversed. He then lodged a police complaint. "They were all part of a coordinated scam operation, using fear and deception to steal money from unsuspecting victims," stated Paria's police complaint lodged at the Muchipara PS. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Temu Clearance Sale TEMU Shop Now Undo Police said a similar case was reported in front of NRS Hospital, too, suggesting the gang operated around the Sealdah bridge.

With another bank holiday just around the corner, many of us have likely made plans to relax and enjoy the sun in the garden. 2 2 However, there's nothing worse than your sacred haven being peeped into by prying neighbours.

The stylish screen comes in a realistic leaf design, perfect for blending in to your greenery. What are your rights over a fence row? IT'S very important to know your rights if you are embroiled in a fence row with a neighbour. How do I know which side I own? A boundary feature can be a fence, wall, hedge, ditch, piece of wire, or sometimes even just the edge of a driveway. The only way to know for certain who owns what side and to avoid any neighbour disputes, is to refer to the title plan or Land Registry. In this, the T mark is used to indicate who the boundary belongs to and therefore who is responsible for its upkeep, say pros at Jacksons Fencing. Larger developments tend to have some indication provided by the builder, but there are no hard and fast rules People often think they are responsible for the left (or right) hand boundary wherever they live, but there isn't any legal basis for this. You can check with HM Land Registry to see which boundary feature you are responsible for. Often households can't get hold of the paperwork but experts say they shouldn't panic. Homeowners can guess who owns the fence by checking where the rails are. Pros say: "The fence is typically facing away from their property so that their neighbour gets the 'good' side. 'This is the most secure way of facing fencing so there are no rails for anyone to use to climb into your garden. 'This is then repeated with the neighbour on the other side to ensure that each home has both a 'good' and 'bad' fence side.' Walls and fences are often built on the land of the boundary's owner with the edge of the wall marking the limit. While professionals agree a glimpse at the fence can give you a hint, it's not foolproof - so you can't be certain. Fines and punishment It is recommended to always check legal documents before making changes to avoid hefty fines. There is no law that the neighbour has to get the good side of the fence, so it's completely up to whoever owns the fence. Fencing pros have suggested: 'It may be worth selecting a double-sided panel with no 'bad' side as both sides look the same and rails are concealed within the fence panel.' If one boundary backs onto a road or footpath you can install the panels with the rails on the inside But if it's installed on the outside, it can provide an 'easy ladder for burglars to enter your garden'. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Property Litigation Association have created a mediation service to help neighbours resolve disputes over their property boundaries without resorting to court action. RICS also provides a list of surveyors who could assist in boundary disputes. If a dispute continues, it is ultimately a court that makes decisions, but they do not like such disputes being put before them. Changing a boundary If you want to change an existing boundary, such as replacing an old fence with a new one, we always recommend discussing with your neighbour first and making sure it is all agreed. The registered titles can help you to reach an agreement, but only if this information has been added. In terms of decorations on a fence legal advisers recommended asking around over who actually first installed it. But they also urged caution before getting to work on amending the fence without getting more certainty yourself - since there is a danger of actually being prosecuted for criminal damage. How high can a garden fence be? The height of the fence is measured from your ground level, this can have an impact when, due to slopes in the ground, your garden may be at a higher level than your neighbours '. A garden fence can be as high as 100m but you need to get planning permission if it's over than 2m. However, there are some complications to this. If you are thinking about front garden fences, restrictions state that fences alongside a driveway can be a maximum of 1m or 3ft. You would need to get planning permission for putting a trellis on a fence of 2m. But, if any plant that you grow on that trellis exceeds 2m, you do not need to obtain a permit for the growing plant. Plus, the product has been made with premium wood and weather resistant plastic, making it extra durable - so you don't have to worry about it coming down in windy or rainy conditions. A product description reads: "Bring refreshing greenery to your outdoor décor with this artificial hedge panel. "Designed for versatility, it works as a fence screen, wall décor, or garden hedge. "Its durable construction offers UV protection, while the breathable design ensures proper airflow. "Perfect for balconies, patios, or terraces, it combines beauty and practicality without the need for ongoing maintenance." However, the privacy screen is only available online, so you will have to order it via the B&Q website instead of heading to your local store if you are keen to snap up the bargain.
