Industrialist booked for fraud
Ludhiana, October 5 Inspector Gagandeep Singh, in charge of the economic offences wing of the police, said the accused had been booked under Sections 418, 419, 420 and 477-A of the IPC for “fraud and cheating by falsification of accounts”. According to the complainant, Chanderbhan Chauhan, in 2009, he got a contract of Rs 2.12 crore for the construction of industrial units from Jain. Chanderbhan said while Vikas Jain made a partial payment of Rs 1.61 crore, the remaining amount of Rs 51.13 lakh was still pending. Last year, Chanderbhan was in for a shock when Jain told him that he had cleared all the payment. According to Jain, he had issued a cheque for Rs 51.13 lakh to Chanderbhan, who had withdrawn the money from a bank. Chanderbhan cried foul and reported the matter to the police. A special investigation team, comprising the then ADCP (Crime), the ACP (Traffic) and the in charge of the CIA, was formed to probe the case. The SIT found that a bearer cheque was issued by Jain in Chanderbhan’s name. Inspector Gangdeep said instead of handing over the cheque to Chanderbhan, Jain sent his men to the bank, who encashed the amount and handed over the amount to Jain. The fraud came to light during the investigation. "We have registered a case and have started investigation," said Inspector Gagandeep Singh. Jain is the second prominent businessmen from the city to have been booked for a white colllar crime. Earlier, last month Jagjit Singh, owner of NKH Garments, was booked in a fraud case of Rs 26 crore. Accused Director of Oswal Apparels

Keep newborns’ photos in record: SMO
Mohit Khanna Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, October 5 Besides, the Civil Hospital authorities have started attaching a band on the wrist of the newborn. They are also taking the hand and foot impressions of the newborn to maintain a proper record. Till now, no visuals such as photographs were kept in the hospital records. Confirming the development, the SMO said, "I have ordered to get photographs of babies clicked at the time of the brith so that the hospital can maintain a proper record." Sources said the need for maintaining a visual record was felt after Sushila (26) and her husband Sandeep sparked yet another controversy by claiming that the baby girl was born before September 30 and appeared to be 10 to 15 days old. The Health Department has also launched a parallel probe into the matter and has constituted a board of two paediatricians and a radiologist to determine the girl's age. The sources said the baby girl's "age issue" had put the hospital staff in a tizzy as the latter had no visual record to establish that it was the same baby that was born in the hospital. Sources in the Heath Department said apart from conducting a DNA test, the Civil Hospital authorities had no other option to establish the paternity of the child. "The DNA result, too, can prove counterproductive. The Civil Hospital authorities have no record to prove that the newborn girl brought by Sandeep and Sushila is the same child that was born in the hospital on September 30. If the DNA result turns out to be negative, the hospital staff will be in trouble as the parents have levelled allegations of swapping of the baby boy with a baby girl," said a doctor.Intriguingly, it took three days for Sandeep and Sushila to lodge their protest. A Civil Hospital employee said in serious cases such as child swapping, the parents create a major scene at the hospital. However, the fact that Sandeep and Sushila remained quiet for quite some time has raised eyebrows. Politics in the controversy cannot be ruled out. The sources said the appointment of Dr Karkara as SMO had caused much unease among politicians. The sources said an "environment" was being created for Dr Karkara's transfer. However, Dr Karkara refused to comment on the issue. The controversy
Sushila (26) and Sandeep, who already have three daughters, had, on October 3, claimed that their fourth child was a baby boy. They showed documents issued by the hospital in support of their claims. Sushila claimed that she had given birth to a baby boy on September 30. The police has registered a case against the hospital staff for kidnapping and committing a fraud. |

Villagers protest police ‘inaction’
Jagraon, October 5 The protesters carried out a protest march in the city and raised slogans against the police as well as Jagraon MLA SR Kaler. They alleged that the police had been deliberately delaying the arrest of the Sarpanch at the behest of local MLA SR Kaler, who is trying to shield the accused because he belonged to the ruling party. The police had booked Parminder Singh, Akali Sarpanch of Kothe Fatehdeen village, for allegedly raping a minor Dalit girl of the same village more than three months ago. He has absconded since the registration of the case against him. The villagers have staged several protests demanding his arrest. Addressing the protesters outside the Jagraon city police station, CPI(M) state committee member Sukhwinder Singh Sekhon and district secretary Amarjit Mattoo alleged that the police had not been arresting the accused Sarpanch at the behest of Kaler. Showing the copies of the arrest warrants issued by a local court around 25 days ago against the accused Sarpanch to the media persons, Sekhon said: "The failure of the police to arrest the accused has raised a serious question mark over its functioning." Mattoo said: "Being the elected representative of the area residents, Kaler must publicly clarify whether he is willing to get justice delivered to the victim family or shield the accused Sarpanch who belongs to his own party," said Mattoo. The protest continued for more than three hours and the police personnel kept the police station locked from inside during the protest. However, the protesters agreed to end the protest when SHO Mohammad Jamil assured them them that the police would make every possible effort to arrest the accused Sarpanch as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Kaler denied the allegations of trying to shield the Sarpanch. "I never intervene in police matters and there is no question of shielding a rape accused, no matter to which political party he belongs," he said.

regularisation of illegal colonies Shivani Bhakoo Tribune News Service
Ludhiana, October 5 Talking to The Tribune, Aneesh Sobti, a local resident, said he had purchased a plot in Thakur Colony, Pakhowal Road, in 2008. The colony was established in 2004 and the person from whom he had purchased the plot was the first buyer who had purchased the plot in 2007. "I have got all the documents pertaining to the 'chain' of the property. The documents are the proof of the establishment of the colony, still I am being asked to pay as per property purchased by me (in 2008). There is a difference of Rs 80,000 or 90,000 in the fees to be deposited. Besides, the policy by the state government clearly mentions the regularisation charges in case of residential plots/buildings in unauthorised colonies, developed before and after August 17, 2007," Sobti said. He said there were many such persons who had to pay hefty amounts as the authorities were not considering their 'chain' of properties. "When Municipal Corporation is getting the regularisation fees considering the chain, why can not the GLADA do that? Why are we being asked to pay more when the policy is the same everywhere," asked Sobti. Another plot holder, Dinesh Kumar said when the policy was framed it was stated that the authorities would consider the "chain" of a property but now GLADA maintained that the fees would be liable according to as and when the plot was purchased by the buyer. "There is a huge difference in the fee structure for the colonies developed before and after 2007. We are ready to pay the fees but again here, we are being duped by the authorities as we are being asked to pay more. If we register our complaint to GLADA officials, they ask us to contact the higher-ups. How can a common man contact the Secretaries or the ministers?," he asked. Even in the government forms for regularisation of colonies, "the year of establishment" (of property) has been written, which indicates the year when a particular colony was established or developed and not when plots were purchased by buyers later. The Chief Administrator of GLADA, RK Verma, however, said GLADA was charging as per the fee structure mentioned on the PUDA website. "There was some clarification issued later on the fees and we are adhering to the recent directions by the government," said Verma.

Industrialists meet Finance Minister
Mandi Gobindgarh, October 5 The meeting was arranged by MLA, Amloh, Ranndeep Singh, who was also present. They suggested that under the central excise law deemed credit should be allowed on the purchase of scrap and GST should be imposed at the earliest. In the memorandum, it was suggested that "when the industrial growth is well below the level of 5 per cent, fixing of ta\rget for the Income Tax and Central Excise over 15 per cent is a step towards harassment of the industries in the hands of officers. The practice of fixing targets in both central excise and income tax should be discontinued." President of the Association Vinod Vashisht told the Finance Minister that as per data supplied by the Punjab State Power Corporation, 101 steel units in Khanna and Mandi Gobindgarh alone had got their power disconnected due to recession and accrued losses and the remaining units were working at 30 per cent capacity. Another 100 steel units are on the verge of closure.
