Mumbai, June 16: Police sub-inspector and 'encounter specialist' Daya Nayak, who was under suspension for nearly six-and-a-half years in a disproportionate assets case, was today reinstated and posted in a local arms wing of the department, police said.

Soon after receiving the order of reinstatement, Nayak took charge today itself. He had been suspended from the service in January 2006 and was arrested by the Maharashtra Anti Corruption Bureau after a court rejected his anticipatory bail plea in the case.

In October 2009, the then director-general of police S S Virk had denied permission to prosecute Nayak in the case with a remark that there were insufficient grounds and cleared him of all charges. Later, his file had been sent to the ACB. This had paved a way for his reinstatement in the force.

"Subsequently, the magistrate of the court concerned was informed that the case does not stand against Nayak. Hence there is no case against him now. So, he is eligible for the reinstatement. The city police commissioner passed an order for his reinstatement and Nayak is now posted at Local Arms wing," an IPS officer told PTI.

A 1995-batch police officer, Nayak had got actor Amitabh Bachchan to inaugurate his school in Karnataka in memory of his mother nearly seven years ago. The ACB had also arrested his two friends, who lent their names to the transfer of his wealth. The ACB also sought to arrest Nayak's wife Komal.

According to the ACB, Nayak's investments include a posh flat at Charkop, a defunct financial company. The school in Karnataka was constructed at a cost of Rs one crore, which ACB officials had claimed were "proceeds of corruption".

Nayak and his wife Komal ran a few companies to launder the money, the ACB had alleged. Nayak had refuted the charge that he donated Rs one crore to this school and submitted a list of donors in an earlier enquiry. Prosecution claims that some of these donors' names are fake.

Nayak, a sub-inspector of the 1995 batch, rose to fame in a short span by killing around 80 criminals including Vinod Matkar, Rafik Dabba, Sadik Kalia and three Lashkar-E-Taiba operatives.

Nayak was unavailable for comment. The movie 'Aab Tak Chappan' was based on his career.

Karnataka: Gulf returnees should be ready to pay Rs 16,800 to Rs 63,000 for private quarantine

May 10,2020

Mangaluru/ Bengaluru, May 10: Nearly 11,000 non-resident Kannadigas who are seeking repatriation from various countries across the world should be ready to shell out a huge amount for a two-week private quarantine in Karnataka before reaching their home.

The Kannadigas stranded in Gulf countries including UAE and Saudi Arabia have already expressed shock over the high airfare for repatriation during coronavirus lockdown. Another shocker is heavy quarantine fee once they reach their home state.

Officials in Mangaluru and Bengaluru have confirmed that administration has fixed charges for quarantine facilities starting from Rs 1,200 up to Rs 4,500, including food per day. 14 day quarantine will be mandatory for all healthy and asymptomatic international passengers. Hence, they should be ready to pay Rs 16,800 to Rs 63,000.

The other option is government quarantine centres: hostels run by social welfare, backward classes welfare and minority welfare departments but they are far from satisfactory. This is in stark contrast to the plush government quarantine facilities in Kerala.

In Mangaluru

The first repatriation flight to Mangaluru International Airport is expected to land on Tuesday, May 12 from Dubai.

The quarantine facilities include lodges, hostels and service apartments. Rates are fixed based on four categories: basic, economy, medium and premium. The basic facilities are mainly hostels of educational institutions, and the rest are budget and star hotels, said Rahul Shinde, probationary IAS officer, who is In-charge of the quarantine facilities for those being repatriated.

In Bengaluru

As many as 350 international passengers are set to arrive in Bengaluru at 3 am on Monday, May 11. So far, nobody has opted for government quarantine facilities, according to Lakshman Reddy, Joint Director, Social Welfare Department.

In Bengaluru, there are 55 hostels of the social welfare department, 51 of the backward classes welfare department and 12 of the minority welfare department. “We provide them with three square meals a day,” he added.
