Chautala, son held guilty in teachers job scam (Episode 252 - 253 on 31 May and 01st Jun 2013)

Part 1









Part 2







The Inside Story

Sent to Tihar Jail pending sentencing on Jan. 22

The former Haryana Chief Minister and Indian National Lok Dal president, Om Prakash Chautala, his son Ajay Chautala and 53 others were convicted by a special CBI court here on Wednesday for illegal selection of over 3,000 junior basic trained (JBT) teachers by replacing the original selection list compiled from 18 districts with fake ones.



The recruitment was initiated in 1999 to solve the acute shortage of teachers in Haryana and 3,206 vacancies were advertised in 18 districts. The accused persons, including 16 women, were arrested and sent to Tihar Central Jail to await the order on quantum of sentence which would be pronounced on January 22.



The lid was blown off the scam when Sanjiv Kumar, who was the Director of Primary Education (DPE), when the award lists were swapped, approached the Supreme Court in 2003 with a writ petition alleging that he was pressured by Mr. O.P. Chautala to replace the original lists with fake ones.



Mr. Kumar also submitted in the court 15 award lists which he said were fake and claimed that despite political pressure and alleged victimisation, he implemented the original list.



However, Mr. Kumar’s claim to be a whistleblower was exposed by the CBI which found that he was also complicit in the conspiracy to swap the award lists and that the 15 he had submitted in the Supreme Court were actually part of the original lists and not the fake ones.



The CBI realised that two DPEs, who occupied the post before Mr. Kumar, were eased out in quick succession because they refused to cooperate with Mr. O.P. Chautala. The prosecution also told the court that Mr. Kumar had secretly replaced the original lists — kept sealed in an almirah by his predecessor — and then replaced them with the fake ones. The agency said Mr. Kumar then undertook a “de-sealing drama” to demonstrate that the original lists were being taken out of the almirah.



Terming Mr. O.P. Chautala as the “main conspirator,” Special CBI Judge Vinod Kumar convicted all the accused persons of criminal conspiracy, criminal misconduct by public servant, abuse of official position, forgery, and cheating with knowledge that wrongful loss may ensue to person whose interest the offenders were bound to protect.



Among the 55 accused in the Haryana teachers’ recruitment scam, a majority were district-level functionaries of the selection committees that prepared the fake lists of teachers.



Though the lawyers of the former Haryana Chief Minister, O.P. Chautala, claimed that he was unaware of the scheme and that the CBI investigation was motivated by the Congress party, the Special Judge noted that “profuse evidence was available on record to show that Mr. Chautala was managing the whole affair.”



The court noted that he took the JBT vacancies out of the purview of the Staff Selection Commission and handed it to the DPE, and that two honest IAS officers who did not cooperate – R.P. Chander and Rajni Shekri Sibal – were transferred out. It also said that evidence was there on record that Mr. Chautala’s son Ajay, his political adviser, Sher Singh Badshami, and his OSD Vidya Dhar were present in a meeting where Ms. Sibal was asked to change the lists. This, the judge said, “leaves me in no doubt that all of them were acting under the directions and wishes of O.P. Chautala, the then Chief Minister.”



The judge added: “This is a complete chain of circumstances which pin down accused O.P. Chautala as the main conspirator. I may point out that the notings file would show that almost at each and every stage, the note sheets have gone up to the Chief Minister for his approval. From this an inference can be drawn that Chautala was kept apprised of each and every development in these selections… Had these persons been acting without consent and without the blessings of Chautala those accused persons would have been circumspect and not have entered into such discussions in the presence of so many persons. This is another reason to believe the prosecution case that it was Chautala on whose behalf these persons were executing this scam.”



Chandigarh Special Correspondent reports:

Reacting to the conviction of his father and brother, Abhay Singh Chautala, legislator from Ellenabad hit out at the CBI, calling it a tool of the Congress being used to rein in those Opposition leaders raising a voice against the “shady activities of the Congress.”



In a statement, the junior Chautala said the Congress government was using the CBI to stifle the voices of Opposition leaders such as Mulayam Singh, Jayalalithaa, Chandrababu Naidu, Mayawati, and Lalu Prasad.



He said the party was fully with the convicted INLD leaders, adding that this ‘politically motivated’ conspiracy designed to divert the attention of the people from the ‘misgovernance and corruption’ of the Bhupinder Singh Hooda government in Haryana.

Shaitaan - A Criminal Mind: Babies for sale, The Telegraph expose Newborn and legal papers, all for Rs 2.5 lakh (Episode 41 on 26th May 2013)

The Inside Story

baby can be bought for Rs 2.5 lakh in Calcutta for adoption through an illegal process that in the end yields legal papers, two Telegraph journalists have found.



The duo, posing as a live-in couple, set up the adoption of a newborn for themselves in two weeks by knocking on the right door, somewhat accidentally. In the normal, legal process it could take years, though the cost would have been only around Rs 30,000-40,000.



Here is how it happened, in the words of the two journalists who worked on the exposé from September 20 to October 4.



It’s September 20. The search for a baby leads us to a narrow by-lane in the northeastern suburbs, quiet at 1.30 in the afternoon, bar the barking of street dogs. A signboard at the mouth of the lane points to an orphanage that is just a few steps away, housed in a brown building.



The orphanage office on the top (third) floor appears closed, except for the presence of one solitary sentinel. He sizes us up with sharp, shifty glances and asks us to step in after removing our shoes.



“Who told you about us?” the middle-aged, short and stocky man with thinning hair asks several times. “Have you any references?” he enquires when told we are looking for a baby to adopt and have been making the rounds of various adoption agencies for the past two years. We add that we lost Rs 70,000 when the man who had promised us a baby ran away with the cash.



The man’s cloudy eyes light up with interest. He says even his orphanage has no babies to offer for adoption and has stopped registering couples.



“Ami onek couple-der upokar korechhi (I have helped many couples). But the whole process has to be illegal,” he says.



A live-in couple cannot adopt a baby legally. A baby will cost money, perhaps a lakh or more, but it won’t go waste this time, the man assures us. At the end of a week we can walk home with a child.



It hasn’t taken us more than 15-20 minutes to get to the point where he is talking money and delivery schedules — when many couples have not succeeded even in getting their names registered on the list of an adoption agency for two years.



“Had you come three days ago, I could have got you a baby immediately,” brags the man in a whitish half-sleeved shirt, the kind he would wear on the other occasions we meet him. “A nursing home is going to provide you with the baby. They will make the required documents too. All you have to do is pay the required sum, go to the nursing home and sign the birth certificate of the child and other necessary documents. We will deliver the baby to your house. We work in a team.”



The man says he doesn’t want anyone in that office to hear our conversation, and that future discussions will be on the phone.



“By the way, do you have any preferences about the baby’s sex?” he asks.



We only want to know if it will be healthy. “It will be in tiptop condition,” he promises.



While leaving, we tell Ashim-da (that’s how he identified himself) we will call at 8.30 the same evening.



We phone an hour before time, the first of many calls to be made and received till October 4, to be greeted at the other end by a hesitant Ashim-da who seems to be taking time to place us. We say we are impatient and he throws at us a flurry of queries: about our family, medical history and if we have a marriage certificate.



“Then the whole process has to be illegal,” he repeats when we tell him again that we don’t and assure him that money is no bar.





“Most babies come from unwed mothers whom we have to maintain for some months. Only when they are ready to hand over the child, the baby will come to couples like you,” Ashim-da adds.



“Touch-e thakben (keep in touch),” he says as we hang up, setting the date for the next conversation two days later. All calls are to be made in the evenings.



September 22 turns out to be the day the price is named.



Ashim-da explains that the nursing home where the unwed mother will be kept prepares false documents that show the adoptive mother to be the one giving birth. This means the adoptive parents get both the mother’s discharge certificate as well as the birth certificate of the child with their names on them. Since the papers delivered will be “legal”, the cost will go up to around Rs 2.5 lakh.



“Are you ready to pay the price?” he asks.



We say money is not a problem. We just want a baby, fast.



“Do not mention money or baby on the phone,” Ashim-da warns us.



“Sundar jinis paben (You will get a beautiful thing). If you need, I can provide a nurse too,” he says before hanging up.



The next conversation takes place on September 25 when Ashim-da calls at 9 in the morning, saying an unwed mother has been found and has already gone into labour. We have to be prepared.



We talk again the next morning and the following day when we express the wish to see the mother, a demand Ashim-da firmly turns down.



“Even I don’t know in which nursing home she (the mother) is kept. We get information through a network. This way nobody knows which adoptive couple gets which baby. Thus everybody’s identity is kept secret.”



We are asked to keep handy our voter’s ID, PAN card and property documents and half the amount of money.



After a few days’ lull, Ashim-da phones on October 2 to inform us that the baby is “ready”. One of us meets him in the evening near a diagnostic centre in the area where his office is located to tell him that part of the payment will be made the next day. Although Ashim-da is keen to seal the deal on October 3 itself, we put it off for the following day.



On October 4, one of us, accompanied by an acquaintance, meets Ashim-da at 4.15pm in a north Calcutta neighbourhood. He arrives a little late and is upset that the “wife” has not been brought along. “It would be a waste of time for all of us. We need both the parents’ signatures on the hospital admission and discharge forms,” he says, a trifle tense.



A few exchanges later, we are escorted to a doctor’s house nearby, a one-storey building next to a temple. The tall, lean and elderly doctor is not pleased to see just one “parent” — the “wife”, he is told, is unwell.



“Ekla ele amar somoy nosto (why did you come alone? This is a waste of time for me). I had to get all the documents from the nursing home,” he says with a frown.



No documents are signed. We promise the doctor and Ashim that this will be completed the following day when the child, a boy as it turns out, is delivered. Ashim gives us the phone number of a nurse who will help with caring for the baby.



We call a stop at this point for legal reasons. First, a live-in couple are not permitted under law to adopt. Second, the method of adoption pursued here is illegal and punishable as a criminal offence.



This criminal path to the cradle is, however, becoming increasingly popular as desperate couples buy happiness at a high price instead of waiting endlessly for a baby to be delivered to them through the official channel.



The clandestine network is easy to grease, fast and effective.

What happend on 16th Dec 2012 has happened in 1997 also, waqt badlahalaat nahin (Episode 249, 250 on 24th-25th May 2013)

Part 1







Part 2





The Inside Story

BOKARO, APRIL 21: There is curfew in the city. In Patna, the Assembly is adjourned. There are protests elsewhere. In a bleak room in Bokaro's Central Hospital lies the girl who is the middle of all this.



``She faints often. She screams and cries when she is awake. The rest of the time she sleeps, sedated,'' says her father, a senior manager with the Bokaro Steel Ltd.



Her mother, her eyes swollen and tears trickling down, says: "What is there left to be said?''



Maneesha, 16, is a Class XII student. She was gangraped by 19 people on April 5. The police have arrested only 12 of them.



Those arrested include Islam Ansari, Feroz Shah, Habib Ansari and Anwar Ansari, mechanics at the motor repair shop near her father's official residence. All the arrested persons and their families live at Charru Basti on the periphery of Bokaro.



"Whenever Maneesha crossed the shop, the Ansaris and Shah used to wink and whistle at her,'' says Bokaro SP V H Deshmukh, quoting the statement given by her father.



The policesay Maneesha was taking an evening walk outside her house on April 5, she was alone. Suddenly a tempo van stopped near her, two of the three men in its back seat got down. One of them covered her mouth with his hand, they pulled her inside the van and sped off, the police say.



According to the police, she was taken to Churra Basti. For two nights and one day, she was held in a dingy two-room house of Jalaluddin Ansari.



Even though more than a fortnight has passed, the police have failed to arrest any one of the seven, including Jalaluddin, who allegedly raped her on April 5.



After she was abducted, a relative of Maneesha had reportedly informed SHO Rajesh Kumar and Dy SP Mohammad Nihal. But the police couldn't trace her. "We were tipped off by Farooq Ali and Naushad Ali of the same basti on April 7. They said they had rescued her from the clutches of the criminals. We went there and found her in an unconscious state. We brought her to the hospital in the afternoon,'' said the relative. He says thepolice refused to register a complaint on the night of April 5.



Soon Bokaro erupted. On April 9, Bokaro saw a procession taken out by the BSL Employees Union. The next day, life came to a halt with the bandh called jointly by the BJP, Samata Party, CPI, CPI-M and the Shiv Sena. They wanted the arrest of the seven absconding accused and the dismissal of Kumar and Nihal. The parties called for another bandh on April 17 and that day Bokaro witnessed communal clashes.



Three shops belonging to Muslims were set afire and two police vehicles torched allegedly by Shiv Sainiks on the bandh day. Nihal was transferred to Chatra. A shoot-at-sight order was issued, curfew clamped and five companies of paramilitary forces deployed.



"We are doing our best to nab the culprits. They will be booked soon'', says Chotanagpur IG J K Sinha who has been camping here since April 16. The police are yet to record Maneesha's statement as she is in no state to speak. ``Doctors have said we can talk to her only after she is backto normal," says Deshmukh.

After five years, life-term for rapists - Compensation for victim



Bokaro, May 22: The additional district judge I Mahendra Jha today gave life sentences to 22 persons in the gangrape of 15-year-old girl Monica of St Xavier’s School in April 1999.



Of these, six have been sentenced for plotting the abduction of the minor.



Besides life imprisonment, the court has directed the 16 rapists to pay a compensation of Rs 25,000 each whereas six others have been directed to pay a compensation of 20,000 each to be paid to the parents of the victim, Chandra Prabha Prasad and Gaya Prasad. The compensation amount would be for the treatment of Monica, who is fighting for survival.



This is the first judgment of the country when a rape victim has been given compensation for treatment and the rapists and conspirators being sentenced life imprisonment with such conditions, court sources said.



The persons who have been found guilty under IPC 366,34, 376, 2G/34, and 120B include Yunus Ansari, Abbas Ansari, Talib Ansari, Noor Alam Ansari, Mansoor Ansari, Sirajuddin Ansari, Habib Ansari, Anwar, Islam Ansari, Feroz Shah, Abdul Sattar, Gaffar Ansari, Momin Akhtar, Saiyuum Ansari and Khadim Hussain who is still absconding.



The other six who have been sentenced for plotting the abduction of the girl include Muzib Ansari, Shabbir Shah, Iqbal Shah, Quazi Rizwan, Pramod Pillai and Mani Swamy



Monica, now 20 years old, is mentally retarded and unable to walk or move on her own.



She can never lead a normal life nor become a mother said a police officer who went to record her statement on the directive of the court.



On 5 April 1999, Monica, daughter of a senior assistant general manager of Bokaro Steel plant, a student of Class XII, was kidnapped by half a dozen youths and taken to a place called Bharra.



Sixteen persons, aged between 22 and 55, raped the girl at a secluded place and later dumped her at a isolated spot, taking her to be dead.



Monica, a karateka was kidnapped after she thrashed a local police officer’s nephew, who tried to misbehave with her, sources said.



Court sources said, the next morning after the rape, Monica somehow managed to reach a local resident who immediately admitted her to Bokaro General Hospital and the police was informed about it.



But the incident took an ugly turn when Bokaro DSP Mohammad Nihal reported to the then SP V.G.Deshmukh that it was a fake case.



When the incident was reported with the photographs of the girl in the newspaper the next day, thousands of residents started a mass agitation in the city for the arrest of the guilty persons.



Due to the public unrest and arson in the city, curfew was clamped for three days and the then IG Jyoti Kumar Sinha started the manhunt for the culprits in which 21 persons were arrested.



After a DNA test, it was confirmed that all 16 persons were involved in the rape incident.



When the court deputed a police officer to record Monica’s statement, it was reported to the court that the rape victim had virtually turned into a lump of flesh, as she was mentally in a shock, unable to talk or react.



Even the doctors attending on her said Monica will never be able to lead a normal life again.

Teen tormentors in gangrape net



Bokaro, May 20: After five agonising years, the law finally caught up with the rapists of a 20-year-old girl, a former student of the local St Xavier’s School.



Additional district judge I Mahendra Jha held 16 people guilty of rape and charged six more with plotting her abduction in April 1999.



The girl, barely 15 then, was gangraped by 16 men after being kidnapped for vendetta. Mentally-retarded and paralysed after the incident, she is now counting her days at a hospital in Cuttack.



The punishment will be fixed on May 22 by the judge, sources in the court said. On April 5 1999, the Class XII student, daughter of a senior assistant general-manager of Bokaro Steel Plant, was kidnapped by six youths and was taken to a desolate place called Bharra on the outskirts of the town. She was gangraped by 16 men throughout the night and then dumped on the roadside after she passed out. The goons took her to be dead.



The teenager, a karateka, was kidnapped for revenge as she had allegedly thrashed the nephew of a local police officer, who tried to misbehave with her, police sources said. Though the role of the police officer and a section of policemen came under cloud, no action was taken against them.



Court sources said the next morning, the girl, injured and profusely-bleeding, reached the house of a local resident, who admitted her to the Bokaro General Hospital and informed the police. But the incident took a communal turn after then Bokaro deputy superintendent of police Mohammad Nihal told the then police superintendent, V.G. Deshmukh, that the case was fake. When the incident was reported with a photograph of the girl in the newspapers the next day, people took to the streets demanding the arrest of the guilty.



Curfew was clamped for three days after rival groups clashed and tension escalated. A case was later filed at the local police station and the DNA test confirmed the identity of the rapists. The persons found guilty of rape included Yunus Ansari, Abbas Ansari, Talib Ansari, Noor Alam Ansari, Mansoor Ansari, Sirajuddin Ansari, Habib Ansari, Anwar, Islam Ansari, Feroz Shah, Abdul Sattar, Gaffar Ansari, Momin Akhtar, Saiyuum Ansari and Khadim Hussain, who is still absconding.

Missing man’s body found in a nullah (Episode 248, 249 on 18th, 19th May 2013)

Part 1









Part 2







The Inside Story

MUMBAI: A carpenter, who had gone missing from his Kandivli (E) home last week, was found dead in a nullah on Thursday. The police said it's not clear whether Ghanshyam Vishwakarma was murdered or had drowned. Vishwakarma's body was partially decomposed and there were injuries on his head and collarbone.



The deceased, who was in his mid-30s, stayed at Hanuman Nagar with his parents, wife and son. On Thursday, local residents spotted a body floating in Poisar nullah. After the cops made enquiries in the neighbourhood, the deceased was identified. "Vishwakarma's family said he had gone missing on September 16. They had lodged a missing person's complaint with the Samta Nagar police. The body was partially decomposed, so it appears that Vishwakarma had died at least two days ago," said a senior official.

Man arrested for murdering his lover's husband



Mumbai: A 31-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly murdering his lover's husband, whose body was found in Poisar nullah at suburban Kandivli last week, the police said.



The accused, Shyambahadur Yadav, hailing from Uttar Pradesh, was arrested after he confessed to killing the victim Ghanshyam Vishwakarma (41) along with his friend and accomplice Pramod Sharma.



According to the police, the body of Vishwakarma, a carpenter by profession, was found on Thursday.



Vishwakarma had left home after he received a phone call at about 7.30 pm on September 16. After he failed to return home for three days, a missing person complaint was registered at Samata Nagar police station on September 19.



The next day, his body was found and a post mortem report revealed that he was strangled to death, the police said.



"After a through probe, it was discovered that Vishwakarma used to thrash his wife accusing her of having an affair with Yadav. He learnt about the affair between his wife and Yadav in September 2010," a crime branch official said.



Enraged at his lover being thrashed, Yadav allegedly conspired to eliminate Vishwakarma in September 2011 with his friend and accomplice Pramod Sharma.



"Yadav called Sharma to Mumbai on September 13 and told him to stay on rent in Hanuman Nagar area, where the victim stayed. Three days later, Sharma telephoned Vishwakarma to carry out carpentry work at his house. As the victim reached his house, Sharma strangled him to death. He then telephoned Yadav and both of them disposed off Vishwakarma's body in the intervening night of September 16 and 17," senior inspector of crime branch unit XI R Dalvi said.



A manhunt has been launched for Sharma, while Yadav will be produced before a local court tomorrow, the police said.

Baby Sold On Facebook: Grandfather Arrested After Selling Newborn Grandson For $830 (Episode 247 on 17th May 2013)

The Inside Story

A grandfather in India was arrested this week after selling his newborn grandson on Facebook.



Feroz Khan, 47, of Ludhiana city in the northwestern state of Punjab, allegedly kidnapped his daughter Noori's son from the hospital shortly after he was born on April 3, according to Punjab Newsline. He told Noori that her son had died.



With the help of two temporary employees at the hospital where his daughter gave birth, Khan arranged a deal on Facebook to sell his baby grandson for 45,000 rupees ($830), according to the Agence France-Presse.



The newborn baby was sold to Amit Kumar of New Delhi, according to the Telegraph. Noori filed a police report that her son had been kidnapped.



"We acted upon the complaint of the mother, who alleged that her child was stolen from the nursing home in Ludhiana," Ishwar Singh, Ludhiana's Commissioner of Police, told the Telegraph. "After investigations, we found the grandfather of the child had struck a deal with a man in Delhi and had roped-in the nursing staff to smuggle the baby out of the nursing home. We have arrested four people including the grandfather. We have also booked the buyer from Delhi."



Police found the baby at Facebook buyer Kumar’s Ranjit Nagar home on Tuesday, according to the Hindustan Times. The baby was ill and undergoing treatment at Sir Gangaram Hospital.



"All three people who conspired to sell the child have been arrested and we will be interrogating the businessman who paid the money to buy the baby," Satish Malhotra, a senior police officer in Ludhiana, told AFP. The three face seven years in jail if convicted for kidnapping.



Punjab Newsline reports that Khan wanted his daughter, who divorced her husband last year, to get an abortion when she became pregnant. His plan to sell the baby on Facebook was apparently part of "a bid to facilitate the second marriage of his daughter," according to Punjab Newsline.

Bitty Mohanty caught in Kerala after seven years, Jaipur police to seek custody (Episode 243, 244, 245 on 10th, 11th & 12th May 2013)

PART 1









PART 2











PART 3







The Inside Story

Bitti Mohanty had raped a German tourist in Rajasthan's Alwar districton March 21, 2006, and was convicted by a fast-track on April 12, 2006.



The Rajasthan Police will on Monday seek the custody of Bitti Mohanty, facing a seven-year jail term for raping a German woman in 2006, who was arrested in Kerala after absconding for nearly seven years by jumping parole.



A team of Rajasthan Police would reach Kannur tomorrow with jail and production warrants, Jaipur Assistant Police Commissioner Biju George Joseph said.



Bitti was sentenced to seven years imprisonment in 2006 for raping a 26-year-old German woman at Alwar.



Son of former Odisha DGP BB Mohanty, Bitti had been working as a Probationary Officer in a public sector bank in Kannur for the last three years impersonating as 'Raghav Rajan' from Andhra Pradesh.



Bitti has denied that his father helped him jump bail and get a new identity. Police suspect that at least three close relatives were in constant touch with Bitti.



In 2006, Bitti's father had stood surety for his son's return to prison in 15 days. He was given bail on the plea that his mother in Odisha was unwell and wanted to meet him. When Bitti jumped parole, his father was accused of helping him escape.



Bitti has been charged with cheating, forgery and impersonation by Kerala Police. He was remanded to 14-day judicial custody by a magistrate yesterday.



Bitti landed in trouble after the employees of the bank branch at Pazhayangadi grew suspicious of the true identity of their colleague on seeing his photo among pictures of accused in various sex crimes shown by TV channels and those floated on the Internet in the wake of the Delhi gangrape incident. Bitti was picked up from his local residence on Friday evening and during interrogation revealed his true identity after initially trying to mislead the police.



Police said he has a fake passport, a driver's licence and even an MBA degree certificate from Kannur in the name of Raghav Rajan.



The arrest proceedings were completed after police also corroborated their findings by interacting with their counterparts in Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh and Odisha.



He pretended to be an Andhraite and during his stay also learnt to speak Malayalam well, without giving a clue to local people or his colleagues that he is a convict.

Did a faltering love affair lead to Bitty Mohanty's arrest?



Kannur: Was it a love affair with a fellow woman bank officer that ultimately led to the arrest of rapist Bitty Mohanty in Kerala, seven years after he jumped parole?



Mr Mohanty was arrested last week in Kannur, where he was working with a state-run bank. An anonymous letter to the bank's senior officers alleged that the man everyone knew as Raghav Rajan was actually Bitti Mohanty who was sentenced by a Rajasthan court to seven years in prison for raping a German tourist.



Though Mr Mohanty denied this, the Rajasthan police officer, who had arrested him in 2006, identified him and he has been taken to Rajasthan now to cross-check his fingerprints against the ones on record for the convict in the German rape case.



The police has not confirmed or denied whether the tip-off that led to the arrest came from a co-worker who had been jilted by Mr Mohanty. They say the source of the anonymous letter is not their focus.



The woman, who works in another branch of the same bank, according to some reports, had told her parents that she wanted to marry him. They allegedly saw his photo in a TV channel report on rape cases and recognised him as their daughter's boyfriend.

Shaitaan: Swedish model claims evidence of Goa police, drug mafia nexus (Episode 37 May 11th, 2013)

Swedish model Lucky Farmhouse, who used a spycam to expose her boyfriend Yaniv Benaim's links with the Goa police says she has enough evidence to establish a nexus between the police and Goa's notorious drug mafia.

"I have not put out all the [spycam] recordings because I need to save those in case they will be coming after me," the model told the Press Trust of India in an email interview from Sweden today. "If they make any problem for me in the future, I will put it out."

The model, 33, who was having a live-in relationship with Benaim aka Atala, had shocked the Goa police after she posted her boyfriend's clippings on social networking website YouTube.com (see below).

The video clip triggered a crackdown on the police-drug-peddler nexus, which saw Atala and five policemen, including an inspector, arrested for their links with the drug mafia.

Farmhouse alleged that the son of a "big politician" was also involved with the drug mafia. "I have met him in Atala's house many times and will remember his face. It is scary to see his father in the news. He is the reason I have not put out all recordings," she said.

"I'm not afraid of Atala, but I'm little afraid of this police and what they can do," she said.

The drug peddler-police nexus controversy had forced the Goa police to change the way they stock the drugs seized from traffickers.

State home minister Ravi Naik had said that the force will get to the bottom of the case.

Farmhouse claimed that it was not just sleuths from the anti-narcotics cell, but also those from the local police station who were dropping in often at Atala's place and cybercafé to demand bribes.

"Anjuna police were coming every day to his business 'Atala Coffeshop' to pick up smaller bribes, Rs7,000 according to Atala. They did not leave the minibus [police van]. Atala went out where they parked to pay them," she said.

Farmhouse has modelled in Stockholm, London, Paris and Hamburg for a few big brands. She has also participated in The Reality Show, which made her a known name in Sweden.

Narrating anecdote after anecdote of how police were squeezing money from Atala while she was in Goa, Farmhouse said that one night her boyfriend met a police officer on a empty road and gave him Rs47,000, but he was still asking for more.

"This is the same policeman who sold the plastic bag with different drugs in one of the videos and the policeman Atala gave information to about other criminals," she said. "He was driving a motorcycle/scooter when we met.

"I will remember his face. Atala did never tell me he was going to pick up drugs or pay bribes. He felt safe with the fact that I was not interested in his 'friendly contact' with the corrupt police to take over his business," she said.

"He was proud of his friendship with those corrupt men but at the same time scared and wanted someone to come along with him in the car in case something would happen," Farmhouse said.

The model, who left Goa in February 2008 after putting up the videos on the social networking website, said she had to punish Atala.

"I had to punish him and today I'm happy I did. When I met Atala he in the beginning treated me very nicely and really tried to show himself as a good man. He kept his drug problems secret for me," she said.

"After I had gone back to Sweden for two months and was coming back to Goa to move into his house, everything had changed. He was now heavily addicted to cocaine, doing his drugs openly in the house.

"He was very aggressive and violent to me and everyone around. I was very disappointed. I had come all the way from Europe to live with him, [only] to find out he was a junkie," she said.

"Every day policemen came to the house invited by him and discussed dirty business. At first I thought those men were criminals and not from the police because I could not believe how corrupt and greedy they were," she said.

The model said Atala was banned from India in 2006, he had been to jail in Israel, and was not welcome back there.

She said that before he came to Goa he had been arrested in Thailand for drugs and banned there too.

"He had asked around among his criminal friends if someone could get rid of me. So I continued to record when I had the chance and booked a ticket back to Sweden," she said, narrating the story of her days in Goa before she left for her country.

She also said that police should probe Atala's link in British teenager Scarlett Keeling's murder as Scarlett was a regular visitor to his coffee shop.

"The policeman whom the mother, Fiona MacKeown, accused of being involved in the murder was the same policeman visiting Atala in his house and in his business almost every day," Farnhouse said.

She said the police had not yet contacted her to record her statement. "I will tell them everything if they contact me," she said.

By Headlines Today Bureau: Within hours ofHeadlines Todayexposing a sex syndicate pushing young girls into flesh trade by injecting them with oxytocin, the National Commission for Women (NCW) served a notice to Rajasthan Police on Friday.

The state police were also quick to order an inquiry.

Headlines Todayhad exposed how girls aged between 7 and 8 were being injected with the growth hormone and pushed into flesh trade in Alwar, about 190 km from the national capital. The racket has been running in two villages Girwas and Sodawas, where the girls kidnapped from across the country are sheltered in different houses and then sold as prostitutes.

Reacting to the report former NCW chairperson Poornima Advani insisted on the strictest possible action against the culprits.

"It is important that strict action be taken against those involved. They should be behind the bars. This is one case where National Human Rights Commission together with NCW must form a joint team and investigate it. I am sure much more would be unearthed," she said.

Dr Wali, a senior professor of medicine at Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, said, "This is not a normal mentality, not a normal psychology. It is a very abnormal and perverted behaviour of the locals which needs to be checked and they should be counselled, removed from the village."

However, feigning ignorance Alwar MP Jitendra Singh said, "I have no idea so I can't comment on it. I will speak once I get more information. I have to find out about it."

The Inside Story

Jun 15, 2012

BANGALORE: Seshadripuram police here took a 35-year-old man into custody following a tip-off from Chennai police, who had booked a case of cheating against him. A woman, Parveena, had filed a complaint, accusing him of marrying her, while concealing the fact that he was already married.



The suspect, Arif Khan from Mumbai, was trying to flee the country to the Middle East with another woman. He was ready to fly out of Bangalore when police intercepted him, ACP M Sholabeshwarappa of Seshadripuram sub-division said.



Parveena had filed a complaint with Chennai police, stating that Khan had advertized through a prestigious online marriage bureau, contacted her and convinced her that he was a divorcee and offered to marry her. But later, Khan disappeared to Mumbai and married another woman, Reshma, a widow with a 14-year-old son and a native of Ahmedabad. Reshma's relatives are working in the Gulf, and wanted the couple to settle there with them. Parveena had told police that Khan had taken her to Mumbai and other places before finally dumping her at Chennai.



"On hearing that Khan was trying to flee the country, Parveena approached Chennai police to prevent him. City police were alerted and caught Khan," police said.



On questioning, Khan stated that he had not married Parveena, and was only married to Reshma. City police are waiting for Chennai police to arrive and take custody of Khan.
