"Hollow Ideology": Maoist Carrying Rs 1 Lakh Bounty Surrenders

A Maoist, carrying a Rs 1 lakh reward on his head and who was allegedly involved in the 2017 ambush in which 12 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) men were killed, surrendered before the security forces in Chhattisgarh's Sukma district on Tuesday, the police said.

Kunjam Mukka turned himself in, citing disappointment with the "inhuman" and "hollow" Maoist ideology, Sukma Superintendent of Police (SP) Kiran Chavan said.

Kunjam Mukka was the militia commander of the outlawed organisation and carried a reward of Rs 1 lakh on his head, the official said.

He joined the banned organisation as a Bal Sangham member in 2007, he said.

Kunjam Mukka was allegedly involved in the 2017 Kottacheru ambush attack on the security forces, in which 12 CRPF personnel were killed and was also part of other incidents of violence, the official said.

The surrendered Maoist will be provided facilities according to the Chhattisgarh government's surrender and rehabilitation policy, he added.

"Jagan Reddy's Conspiracy": Chandrababu Naidu's Party On His Arrest

Senior TDP leaders on Monday condemned the arrest of party chief N Chandrababu Naidu and submitted a memorandum to Governor S Abdul Nazeer in Visakhapatnam stating that the former Chief Minister was being framed in the alleged multi-crore scam.

Party leaders Yanamula Ramakrishnudu, MA Shareef, Kavali Pratibha Bharati, Dhulipalla Narendra, Kanna Lakshminarayana, Pattabhi Ram Kommareddy, and others assembled at the party office and deliberated on the recent developments.

In a statement, they said that the ruling YSRCP government foisted the corruption cases against Mr Naidu.

TDP spokesperson Kommareddy Pattabhiram claimed that the CID report had failed to point out Chandrababu Naidu's crime in the alleged multi-crore Skill Development Corporation scam and did not contain evidence or testimonies.

"The issues mentioned in the CID remand report reveal that YS Jagan Mohan Reddy plotted a political conspiracy to send Chandrababu Naidu to jail," Mr Kommareddy told PTI.

TDP legislator Payyavula Keshav charged that the CID wing of Andhra Pradesh Police has been acting as a private army to take revenge on opposition parties.

Senior party leaders Ganta Srinivasa Rao and MLCs Duvvarapu Ramarao and Chiranjeevi, led by TDP state president Kinjarapu Atchannaidu met Governor S Abdul Nazeer in Visakhapatnam and submitted a memorandum, he said.

"The present YSRCP-led government ever since assuming power in 2019 has been consistently pursuing a political vendetta against dissenting voices in general and opposition TDP in particular," they said in the memorandum.

They told the Governor that a fabricated case was created in the name of the Skill Development Scam to arbitrarily and illegally arrest Mr Naidu.

The TDP delegation appealed for S Adbul Nazeer's intervention to release the TDP chief unconditionally and take action against the authorities concerned for their alleged abuse of power.

A local court in Vijayawada on Sunday remanded Chandrababu Naidu in judicial custody for 14 days. The former Chief Minister is lodged in the Rajamahendravaram Central prison in the East Godavari district.

DRI ने 26 करोड़ रुपये से अधिक मूल्य की प्राचीन कलाकृतियां और सामान जब्त किया

दुनिया की सांस्कृतिक विरासत की रक्षा के अपने संकल्प को जारी रखते हुए राजस्व खुफिया निदेशालय (DRI) ने प्राचीन वस्तुएं और ऐतिहासिक कलाकृतियां जब्त की हैं. इनकी बाजार में अनुमानित कीमत 26.8 करोड़ रुपये है.

एक खास खुफिया जानकारी पर कार्रवाई करते हुए डीआरआई ने संयुक्त अरब अमीरात के जेबेल अली से आयात किए जा रहे एक इम्पोर्ट कंटेनर की पहचान की. उसकी विस्तृत जांच सीमा शुल्क विभाग ने की.

जांच के दौरान कंटेनर में पुरानी मूर्तियां, पुराने बर्तन, पेंटिंग, प्राचीन फर्नीचर और अन्य मूल्यवान विरासती सामान पाया गया. इसमें कुछ सामान 19वीं सदी का है. इनमें से कई वस्तुएं कीमती पत्थरों, सोने, चांदी से बनी हैं या फिर उन पर सोने/चांदी की परत चढ़ी हुई है. जब्त की गई अधिकांश वस्तुएं यूरोपीय देशों, विशेषकर ब्रिटेन और नीदरलैंड की हैं. कस्टम्स से बचने के लिए खेप का मूल्य बहुत कम आंका गया था.

ऐसी वस्तुओं की अवैध बाजार में भारी मांग है. इस मामले की जांच जारी है.

No Government Jobs To Persons Accused Of Rape, Says Chhattisgarh

The Chhattisgarh government on Monday issued an order barring those accused in cases of rape, molestation and some other offences from being appointed to government jobs in the state, an official said.

The order was issued by the state's General Administration Department to all chairpersons of revenue divisions, heads of departments, commissioners of revenue divisions and collectors, who have been asked to enforce the directive strictly, he added.

Notably, Chief Minister Bhupesh Bhupesh, in his Independence Day address here, had said those accused in cases of rape, molestation and other crimes against women and girls will be barred from government jobs in the state.

"No candidate shall be eligible for appointment to a service or post who has been convicted of an offence against women. Provided that where such cases are pending in a court against a candidate, his case of appointment shall be kept pending till the final decision of the criminal case," the order said citing Chhattisgarh Civil Services (General conditions of Service) Rules 1961.

"Candidates against whom case of rape, molestation and other crimes under the category of moral turpitude lodged under sections sections 354, 376, 376A, 376B, 376C, 376D, 509, 493, 496 and 498 of the Indian Penal Code are registered and provisions of Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses Act (POCSO) Act will be prohibited from appointment to government services till the final decision of the case," it added.

Commenting on the order, Chhattisgarh High Court lawyer Anish Tiwari told PTI the existing rule and the new rule appears to be the same.

"There is already a provision under the civil services rule that if a case related to rape and molestation is pending in court then the person's appointment to the government job will be kept pending till final disposal of the case," Tiwari said.

Mizoram Polls: Ruling Party Finalises Candidates For 38 Of 40 Seats

Mizoram's ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) has finalised its candidates for 38 out of the total 40 assembly constituencies of the state, a senior party leader said on Sunday.

Elections to the Mizoram assembly are due later this year. Its present term will expire on December 17.

"At a meeting of the party's nomination committee on Saturday, we have finalised 38 candidates. No nominees were selected for Chalfilh and Aizawl South-II seats," the leader said.

Chalfilh is represented by MNF leader Lalrinliana Sailo, who is the current Speaker, while Lalchhuanthanga of the main opposition Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) is the MLA of Aizawl south-II seat.

The leader said that candidates for these two seats will also be finalised soon.

It is not immediately clear why the MNF leadership did not select anyone for these two seats along with others.

A top leader, however, said it is not yet certain whether or not Lalrinliana Sailo will be fielded by the MNF.

The MNF nomination committee nominated debutant Lalremruata Chhangte in the Hrangturzo seat as the incumbent MLA and Home Minister Lalchamliana decided not to contest this time, the sources said.

Chhangte is a former student leader and has previously served as the vice president of the MNF youth wing.

Earlier, the ZPM had declared its candidates for 39 assembly constituencies except the Chakma-dominated Tuichawng seat.

The ZPM has announced that it will fight the assembly elections in the state in alliance with the Hmar People's Convention (HPC). 

According to an agreement signed between the two parties last month, the HPC will support the ZPM and will not field any candidate so that non-MNF votes do not get divided.

The Congress is likely to finalise its candidates for the assembly polls soon.

In the present assembly, the MNF has 27 members, ZPM 6, Congress 5 and the BJP has one MLA. One seat is vacant following the resignation of one MNF legislator.
