Mobile lab for cattle in Ambala
Ambala, August 25 Sources said in the absence of facilities available in Ambala, cattle owners of the district used to carry them to Ludhiana or Hisar for ultrasound and other medical tests. Talking to mediapersons here, Deputy Commissioner Sameer Pal Srow said all types of medical tests, including ultrasound examination for the cattle, would now be available at the doorstep of the cattle owners by the animal husbandry department in Ambala district. Srow said, “A fully equipped mobile van is made available at the Veterinary Hospital, Jagadhari Gate, Ambala City, under the scheme of the national agriculture development, a Government of India body, in which animal disease diagnostic laboratories on wheels have been supplied to all district headquarters in the state to provide facilities for ultrasound and other tests.” Srow said a portable ultrasound machine, costing Rs 3.40 lakh, has already been received. Sources disclosed here that a district-level team of professionals would investigate sources of disease outbreaks. The lab’s diagnostic capabilities would reduce the need to transport sick animals and lessen the chances of spreading diseases, said Srow.

Is section apt, court asks police
Panchkula, August 25 The court here raised this question on the bail application filed by Guni Prakash. It has asked the Panchkula Police to reply why it had registered an FIR under Section 307 of the IPC against Guni Prakash instead of Section 188 of the IPC for false information. The court has now deferred the hearing for August 30. In his anticipatory bail application, Guni had pleaded that he was being falsely implicated in this case and he had no connection with this case. But according to the police, Guni, along with three of his accomplices, had conspired to implicate Ashok, Soni, Randeep, all residents of Pharal village in Kaithal district, and his political opponent Ratanmaan, a resident of Karnal, in a criminal case. In this case, the police had already arrested accused Ramsarup, Sukhbir and Ombir, the fourth accused. Guni was undergoing a treatment for a bullet injury at the PGI. Guni was admitted to the hospital with a bullet injury on his shoulder on July 31. He had alleged that Ashok, Soni, Randeep and Ratanmaan, along with another unidentified person, had attacked him. The police, however, found out that all accused were at their houses within an hour of the incident. Even the locations of their mobile phones were found to be in their respective village areas at the time of the incident. According to the police, on the night of July 31 Sukhbir injured Guni by firing a bullet shot on his shoulder at Barwala.

A case under Sections 420,120 of the IPC has been registered at the Sector 34 police station against Kulwinder Kaur, Seema and Nutanu of Career Abroad. The complainant alleged that the accused took Rs 2.4 lakh from her for sending her abroad, but her visa was rejected. Meanwhile, the police custody of the prime accused Amit Kakkar was extended by another two days today. DSP Anil Joshi, who is heading the SIT formed to investigate cases of immigration frauds, today personally appeared in court for the hearing of the case and sought seven-day police custody of the accused. The police custody was sought on the grounds that the accused needed to be taken to various places in Punjab to verify the documents from the banks that were involved. However, judicial magistrate Pritpal Singh refused to give them police custody of seven days and granted only two days’ of custody.
197 bank documents were fake
DSP Joshi said they had detected a total of 261 bank loan cases and 197 cases out of 261 were found bogus. The status of 64 cases was pending with the management of various banks.
Police sources said a majority of fake loan cases, 112 out of 197, were made on the behalf of Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC), Patiala Road, Rajpura, and the scrutiny of five loan cases of OBC bank, Mundi Kharar, revealed that the bank never existed. The others banks, on whose behalf fake loan cases were shown by Healthyway, included State Bank of India (SBI), Syndicate Bank, UCO Bank in Sirmour district of Himachal Pradesh, Allahabad Bank, Jalandhar, and PNB Mohali.
Allow firm to open, accused asks court
The prime accused in the fraud case involving Healthyway Immigrations, Amit Kakkar, today urged the court to allow the opening of his office so that he could process the applications that were pending. Kakkar, who is in police custody since July 13, said he was willing to return all money to the customers but a lot of work was stuck as their office was
shut.
