The Minister said appropriate action would be taken after the inquiry report is submitted.

Earlier, irate local residents staged a road blockade on National Highway-59, demanding action against the culprit. The blockade was withdrawn after police detained a youth, named as the accused in the case.

CCB sources say that the two officers demanded money from an accused in a case to make the evidence go away.

Bengaluru Police Commissioner T Suneel Kumar on Saturday suspended two Central Crime Branch sleuths for allegedly demanding a Rs 1 crore bribe from an accused in a case.

According to the police, an inspector of the CCB’s Organised Crime Wing, Prakash, and head constable Satish were suspended after an inquiry report found that the officers had demanded bribe from an accused.

On December 9, CCB Inspector Prakash received a complaint from several Bengaluru residents that Perkz Aimms Ventures Ltd., a chit fund company located in Jayanagar, had cheated hundreds of people out of an undisclosed amount.

Inspector Prakash and Suresh visited the company’s office and searched the premises. Business partners Pasha Mohammed Mudassir and Shahid Mohammed, along with three other senior employees were arrested.

Up on further questioning, Inspector Prakash allegedly found incriminating evidence against Pasha Mohammed. “Inspector Prakash and the head constable then decided to extort money from the accused. Prakash asked Pasha for Rs 1 crore in order to make the case go away,” a CCB source said.

Prakash and Suresh allegedly demanded a down payment of Rs 35 lakh and the remaining sum was to be given later.

“They had decided to split the money on a 60:40 basis. Prakash would get 60% of the pay off. Pasha Mohammed then informed the police of the extortion after which DCP (Crime) Girish began an inquiry,” the CCB source said.

On Saturday, DCP Girish submitted the inquiry report to Police Commissioner T Suneel Kumar after which the officers were suspended.

“As of now, no case has been registered against the two officers. Generally in bribery cases, officers are suspended for a few months and then transferred out of town. But we don’t know if a case will be registered or now. Based on the commissioner’s orders, we will proceed further,” the CCB source said.

Nasheman News : A 31-year-old Indian man was sentenced to 13 years in jail and 12 strokes of the cane after he pleaded guilty to one charge of sexual assault of a minor and two charges of attempted statutory rape, the media reported.

Udhayakumar Dhakshinamoorthy, a minimart worker courted a 12-year-old girl with gifts and called her his “wife”, grooming her to engage in intrusive sexual acts with him over a period of three months in 2016, The New Paper reported on Friday.

Announcing the sentence at the High Court on Thursday, Judicial Commissioner Pang Khang Chau said that Udhayakumar had exploited the innocence and naivety of the girl and morally corrupted her.

Four other charges were also considered during the hearing, the report said.

The offence, which took place between September and December 2016, came to light after Dhakshinamoorthy’s pregnant girlfriend discovered a nude video of the minor girl on his phone.

The court heard that when Dhakshinamoorthy first asked the girl for sex after taking her to the staircase of a block of flats, she told him she was not sure what sex was, to which he responded that he would teach her, the daily reported.

The man admitted that he tried to have sex with the girl on two occasions, but failed.

After his second foiled attempt, he gave the girl 50 Singapore dollars, ended their “relationship” and no longer allowed her to take things from the minimart for free.

“This proved his previous generosity was merely a facade to get the girl to have sex with him,” said Deputy Public Prosecutor Gail Wong in sentencing arguments.

Dhakshinamoorthy began working at the minimart in a housing estate in September 2016. During their first chat, he asked the girl for a nude selfie of herself, and she complied, according to the report.

After this, he would let her take ice cream, toys and tidbits from the minimart without paying. The man also took the minor to various places to engage in “petting”. 

“He used to give her between 5 and 10 Singapore dollars after each session. This escalated to more intrusive sexual acts, including attempts at sexual intercourse,” the court heard.

He also started referring to the minor as his “wife” and told her he wanted to marry her, while the girl called him “uncle”.

During the period, Dhakshinamoorthy also started seeing a woman. In May 2017, while checking his phone, the woman found the video of the minor girl in her school uniform exposing herself. Later, she lodged a police report against Dhakshinamoorthy.

Nasheman news :  A shocking case of police corruption has emerged from Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh where local cops allegedly burnt an unclaimed body along with waste. Reports suggest that the accused personnel pocketed the money given to them by the department for giving the unclaimed body a proper cremation.

The police officers in question were given an amount of Rs 2,700 by the department to ensure that the unclaimed body is given a proper cremation. They were supposed to use Rs 300 out of the amount to buy a shroud, Rs 400 to move the body to a cemetery and the remaining Rs 2,000 for the cremation.

However, the officers decided to take the money for themselves and instead burnt the body along with tires and plastic waste using kerosene. After reports of the alleged corruption by these officials came to light, a police inquiry was initiated into their actions by the Uttar Pradesh police.

A former Deputy General of Police (DGP) said that it is expected of police personnel to give a proper cremation or burial to unclaimed bodies of unidentified persons. However, the fact that the policemen decided to pocket the money given to them by the department and burn the body along with waste shows not just blatant corruption but inhumane behaviour on the part of the erring policemen.

Delhi techie murders nephew: On the night of Feb 6, 2016, when Jai Prakash was asleep, the accused smashed his head with the motor of a ceiling fan, which was lying in his flat for repair, the officer said.

New Delhi: A 37-year-old man, who allegedly killed his nephew suspecting him of having an affair with his girlfriend, was arrested by the Delhi Police from Hyderabad after three years of the incident, officials said Thursday. Bijay Kumar Maharana, a resident of Odisha’s Ganjam, moved to Delhi in 2012 after his girlfriend shifted to the national capital. In 2015, Bijay’s nephew Jai Prakash also moved to Delhi from Hyderabad and they started living together at a flat in Delhi’s Dwarka area, officials said.

While Bijay used to work in an IT firm in Noida Sector 144, Jai Prakash was an employee of a Gurgaon-based company. Over time, Jai Prakash became close to Bijay’s girlfriend, which he didn’t like. Upset over this, Bijay planned to kill his nephew, Rajender Singh Sagar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka), said.

On the night of February 6, 2016, when Jai Prakash was asleep, he smashed his head with the motor of a ceiling fan, which was lying in his flat for repair, the officer said. He dragged the body to his balcony and buried it in soil, which he had already arranged. He even planted saplings to alleviate any suspicion, the officer said.

After a week, he filed a missing complaint with police saying his nephew didn’t return after he went out with some friends. He stayed in the flat for about two months and then shifted to Nangloi in western fringes of the city. In 2017, he moved to Hyderabad, the officer said.

In October last year, Jai Prakash’s skeleton was found when the building was being renovated. The skeleton was wrapped in a blue-colour jacket, a shirt, a bed sheet, a blanket and a mattress. From the owner of the flat, police found about Bijay. The owner, Vikram Singh, also told police that two other tenants also lived in the flat after Bijay vacated it.

During investigation, Bijay was found missing and no one in his family or his group of friends knew about his whereabouts. He had changed his mobile number and stopped using his bank accounts after withdrawing all his money, the officer said.

With the help of technical surveillance, police located him after weeks of hunt. A team of the Delhi Police first went to Vishakhapatnam on December 26 and later travelled to Hyderabad on January 1 in search of Bijay. Bijay was nabbed on Sunday from Hyderabad and was brought to Delhi, he said.
