Bengaluru, Apr 5: Nitesh Estates Limited, a real estate company, is in the dock for allegedly duping as many as 50 customers of Rs 120 crore after promising delivery of villas and residential apartments. The Central Crime Branch (CCB) has raided the company’s corporate office on M.G. Road.

The raids were the fallout of a series of complaints of cheating by the firm’s chairperson and managing director Nitesh Shetty and the firm’s executive director Vaidyanathan L S.

Sources in the Bengaluru police revealed that several people had filed cheating complaints against the proprietors of the firm at the Halasuru police station. With several others also filing complaints on similar grounds, City Police Commissioner T Suneel Kumar had ordered the transfer of the case to CCB a few days ago.

Confirming the raids on the Nitesh Estates’ office, the police commissioner said: “The CCB team had raided the office and seized documents pertaining to the firm’s various projects. We are further examining the documents as part of the investigation.”

According to the complaints, several people had invested in the firm to purchase villas and flats promoted by the company. “We have not made any arrests in the case yet as we are verifying the documents and other evidence to establish a link as alleged by the complainants,” Kumar added.

Chaitanya Shiroor, a resident of Jakkur, had alleged in her complaint that the firm had promised villas as part of its projects at Yelahanka and mopped up Rs 120 crore from over 50 people. However, the firm failed to deliver on its promise, her complaint stated.

Similarly, another resident from Kadugodi, Mahesh M S, complained that he had paid Rs 3.52 crore for a villa between 2014 and 2016.

“Nitesh Shetty and Vaidyanathan had promised to hand over a flat by 2014 and even five years after the agreement, they have not given me a flat,” alleged yet another investor from Vidyaranyapura, Nandakumar P T.

Clarifying on the charges by several investors, a Nitesh Estates spokesperson said: “An FIR against the company is frivolous. The company is settling the matter and will be making payments to the parties concerned soon.” The spokesperson has also clarified that Nitesh Estates has also filed counter-complaints against those who had protested in front of the office in Halasuru.

Control of state power by Hindus absolutely essential: BJP MP Tejasvi Surya

News Network

August 6,2020

Bengaluru, Aug 6: Firebrand BJP Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya on Wednesday said that control of state power by Hindus is absolutely essential for sustenance of Dharma.

His comments, in a series of tweets, came on a day Prime Minister Narendra Modi performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the Lord Ram temple at Ayodhya.

"Dear Hindus, Most important lesson is that control of State power by Hindus is absolutely essential for sustenance of Dharma. When we didn't control State, we lost our temple. When we regained, we rebuilt. The 282 (seats) in 2014 and 303 (seats) in 2019 to Sri Narendra Modi made today possible!", Surya, who is also the party's BJP youth Wing state general secretary, tweeted.

He also said that the survival of India depends on the survival of Sanatana Dharma.

"The Sanatana Dharma, that is nationalism,' Sri Aurobindo had said in his Uttarapara speech. But what does it mean? Along with Jai Sri Ram, the purohits also chanted Bharat Mata Ki Jai - That is Dharmic nationalism. If Dharma survives, India survives," he said in another tweet.

Teenager steals sports bike to impress girlfriend; she helps cops to catch him

News Network

February 19,2020

Hassan, Feb 19: A 19-year-old boy, in a bid to impress his girlfriend, stole a sports bike from an OLX seller but cops managed to reach him through her on Tuesday.

The accused, Pramod, who works at a bakery, had been involved in a bike-lifting case two years ago too.

On February 9, Pramod saw an advertisement on online marketing platform OLX from Puneeth, a farmer from Shravanabelagola town, who wanted to sell his sports bike for Rs 1.4 lakh. Pramod called him up and the two agreed to meet around 6pm that evening at Shravanabelagola town bus stand.

Once there, Pramod, a college dropout, assured Puneeth that he would buy the bike but wanted to take it for a test drive. The seller agreed. A few minutes passed and when there was no sign of the bike or Pramod, Puneeth tried calling him. The phone was switched off and could not be contacted since. Puneeth immediately filed a cheating case with the Shravanabelagola police.

SP R Srinivas Gowda and ASP BN Nandini put together a team and began tracing Pramod's call detail records. Maximum calls were made to a single number and it turned out to be his girlfriend's.

Cops called the girlfriend and on Tuesday, asked her to contact him and ascertain his location. They traced him near Hassan city's railway station and nabbed him along with the bike. On interrogation, Pramod confessed that he wanted to impress his girlfriend and take her on long drives on the sports bike.

Police said Pramod, who belongs to Bandithimmanahalli village of Alur taluk, dropped out of college two years ago and has been working at a bakery in Sahyadri Circle.

While working, he has been involved in several incidents of bike-lifting. Cops said he appeared to have strained relations with his family and had taken to crime to make a quick buck.
