Enforcement Directorate takes possession of plots of film actor Ramcharan Teja, ex cricketer Chamundeswaranath

Udumula Sudhakar Reddy
In connection with multi crore Emaar-APIIC township scam Enforcement
Directorate on Friday took possession of 19 plots in Boulder Hills including that of film
star Ram Charan Teja and former cricketer V Chamundeswaranath.

The total book value of the properties taken into possession under Prevention of Money
Laundering Act would be Rs 72 crore but the market value will be much higher according to
sources. ED officials lead by Hyderabad Joint Director Mr. N Sridhar has executed the
possession taking process at Emaar Hills Township at Boulder Hills in Manikonda of
Gatchibowli. Four other properties of EHTPL in Delhi were also taken into possession.
 Out of 19 plots most of them are in the fictitious companies and individuals and are
unsold.
CBI in its chargesheet earlier said that film actor Ramcharan Teja son of Union Minister
K Chiranjeevi earlier purchased Plot number B-30 to an extent of 1545 square yards. CBI
has earlier recorded the statement of Ramcharan Teja.
An official said ,”Ram Charan has purchased the plot by making the payment. But
registration is not done in his name and still held on document by EHTPL. As it is unsold
this plot has been attached and taken into possession. Even that of former cricketer
Chamundeswarinath and one Madani are also taken into possession,”
V Chamundeswaranath has purchased three plots then but out of which B-44 measuring 1458
square yards is not transferred in his name though he paid money.

ED official said ,”All those concerned with 19 properties are hereby prohibited and
restrained from transferring or charging the properties by sale, gift, mortgage, pledge
or otherwise in any manner and all persons are restrained from buying or receiving them
too,” The key allegation against EHTPL is that though the plots are sold at Rs 50,000 per
square yard only Rs 5000 was remitted into the accounts thus causing huge loss to the
government partner AP Industrial Infrastructure Corporation.
The residential land spread over 25,810 square yards identified by CBI as belonging to
fictitious companies of EHTPL was attached provisionally by ED on 2012 September by the
Additional director under section 5(1) of PMLA. Adjudicating Authority for PMLA based at
Delhi has confirmed the attachment order in February 2013.  After due process ED has now
taken the possession of the immovable properties under section 8(4) of PMLA.
Two plots purchased by Stylish Homes Private Limited A 21, B 28 was also attached and
taken into possession.  B 28 was booked in 2009 in the name of Mr Prasanth Koneru son of
Koneru Prasad. Chamundeswaranath claimed that he purchased them at the rate of Rs 5000
per square yard.
ED attached the plots in the name of  Delhi and Kerala based fictitious companies
identified as Eco Agrotech, Navgrah Realcon Private Limited, Kingstar Realcom private
limited, Crave Infotech, Frolic Construction, Unicorn Infocom, Proma Professional
Solution, Stamp Comp Consultancy, Kingstar Realcom, Crave Infotech. In the investigation
it was found the properties are purchased in the name of the companies which have been
floated with the names of employees of MGF private Limited at Delhi.

U Sudhakar Reddy
Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy has ordered the State finance
department to release funds to the forest department for purchasing more than 500 weapons
on top priority. Leaders of various forest associations on Monday met Chief Minister
regarding the murder of Forest Range Officer in Nizamabad by the tribals when he opposed

immediate supply of 500 weapons for the staff on ground. He also consented to give
ex-gratia to the family of the Forest Range officer who was killed,”
No control of Tribal and forest land grabbers in Forest areas are leading to massive
destruction of forests.  So far forest rangers without any weapons have to face the
grabbers and smugglers armed with the firearms and axes are attacking officials.
Mr. Sudheer said ,”We have asked CM to appoint a high level committee on land
encroachments and on Recognition of Forest Rights Act. There is a serious issue with
revenue officials where there is no joint inspection. Due to greed the forest is still
cut down. Particularly in Warangal, Nizamabad, Khammam and Adilabad in Telangana and
Vishakapatnam in Coastal Andhra. So far 4.72 lakh acres was recognized and rights were
transferred to the tribals. Still people are trying to clean off the forest,”

Uttarpradesh in Dandakarnya has been treated injured and sick Maoists and the militia

verifying whether he is 'Dr. Rafique' alias Vikas who is heading Dandakaranya medical
team. Police are now working on to track the roots of the doctor who travels widely
within the forest regions in Chattisgarh to serve the outlawed left wing extremists.
A police official said ,” He is part of underground cadre of Maoists. The doctor
is revered as god by locals. In Maad area the Maoist headquarters the doctor plays a key
role in providing medical services. The Maoist cadres arrested revealed that he had big
beard and some claimed he has come from Pakistan. His particulars and background are
still not known. How did he come to this place is still a mystery?”

Shark Fin ban is of little help says experts

U Sudhakar Reddy
While hailing the Shark fin ban to curb the torture of sharks in the
marine habitat experts warned that more important is implementation of policy.  Experts
say that the ban will be of little help as the most of the finning and trading take place
offshore away from the coast. The ban on finning is aimed to prevent the exports to china
which is used for making shark fin soup.

Andhra Pradesh coastline has been witnessing severe depletion of shark population due to
indiscriminate finning.  Lakhs of sharks are killed every year to meet the demand for
shark fin soup, an Asian delicacy.
Ministry of Forest and Environment has issued a policy on shark fins and the police is
aimed to curb shark finning a practice that occurs when fisherman catches sharks, cut off
their finds and throw the live animal back into water where they die a painful death.
Mr. Rajeev Mathen Mathew expert committee member of AP Biodiversity Board says,” Sharks
are caught off shore.  Fisherman on foreign vessels on the borders of territorial waters
of the country waters have been reported to engage in shark finning.  It is very
difficult to monitor these transactions off shore when they are really traded. The policy
on paper will not help. There shall be strict vigilance and it has to be implemented,”
Humane Society International in India wildlife campaign manager C Samyuktha says “We are
overjoyed at India’s decision to adopt a fins naturally attached policy, which experts
worldwide agree is necessary to protect sharks from the cruelty of finning. Humane
Society International has been campaigning hard to see this policy enacted, and we are
delighted authorities have taken this crucial step.”
Experts who are hailing the move also said enforcement is important as India is one of
the largest exporters of shark fins in the world.
Mr. Bhanu Sridharan of Researchers for Wildlife Conservation said,” In the long term, it
is crucial for the Central Government to also develop an effective mechanism for
preventing illegal foreign fishing vessels from engaging in shark finning in Indian
waters, as this is detrimental to marine biodiversity and to the livelihoods of Indian
fishing communities.”
Mr. Gajender Sharma of World Society for Protection of Animals said: “It’s now important
that this policy is fully enforced to safeguard the welfare of sharks, and to end the
inhumane practice of finning in India. This will also provide sharks with a fair chance
of survival, which in turns helps to maintain a balanced marine ecosystem.

Was the bomb maker Yaseen who figured in Indian Mujahideen IR's in 2007 blast is Yaseen Bhatkal?

By U Sudhakar Reddy

 Was the bomb maker Yaseen who figured in the confession statements of
accused Indian Mujahideen operatives arrested in Gokul Chat and Lumbini Park blast case
is none other than Yaseen Bhatkal alias Zarar Ahmed Siddibapa? The questions now
bothering the state intelligence agencies are that how did he missed the accused list
while filing the chargesheet. The argument gained significance in the wake of Yaseen
Bhatkal claiming during interrogation by NIA that he has supplied explosives and bombs in
almost all blast that took place after 2007 in the country.

Mohammed Akbar Ismail Choudary  of Pune one of the accused says , “I was Yaseen who
trained us in Mangalore terror camp. Yaseen had an airgun and we did firing practice.
Yaseen used to tell us about explosives. ..Yaseen brought explosive material in boxes and
bags. It was Yaseen who opened the boxes and made boat shaped wooden frames. Yasheen had
shown us how to use adhesive in plastic bags to spread ball bearings…,”
Yaseen’s name also figured in the Interrogation Reports of Anique alias Khaled named as
accused number 1 in Gokul Chat blast case.  Only seven names figures in the chargesheet
of Lumbini Park blast including two Bhatkal brothers Riyaz Bhatkal and Iqbal Bhatkal.
A senior police official said ,”The terror operatives use different alias names. The
accused told that it was Yaseen alias Waseem. So we can’t confirm which Yaseen was he.
Unless w take Yaseen Bhatkal into custody we will not know whether he is the same man who
figured in the interrogation reports. When Lumbini Blast took place Yasin Bhatkal name
was not that popular as most of the operatives then arrested were in touch with other
Bhatkal brother,”

US travel claims of Bhatkal being verified

 National Investigation Agency sleuths are verifying the claims of
Yasin Bhatkal who revealed that he travelled to United States in 2007 on an Indian
passport.
As Interpol red corner notice was issued against Yasin Bhatkal alias Zarar Ahmed
Siddibaba in 2011 he couldn’t be caught at the airports. Bhatkal also travelled to Dubai
in 2004. Bhatkal’s father Yaqub Siddibapa himself in his recent note said that his son
disappeared from Dubai. Passport issued in Bangalore in the name of Ahmed Siddibapa is
being verified.
Sources said ,”He went to Karachi in 2006 and returned to Dubai. From Dubai he went to
Los Alamos in New Mexico in US on January 8 in 2007 and did not return to Dubai. Yaseen
name came out for the first time in the interrogation reports in 2008 and red corner
notice was issued in 2011. That’s why his international travel was not tracked,”
During investigation it was also revealed that Yasin Bhatkal used to get money through
hawala routes from Pakistan via Nepal.
“He is handled by Pakistan based operatives and was not only in touch with his brothers
Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal who are on the run but also with the ISI. Earlier interrogation
reports also revealed that Iqbal Bhatkal alias Mohammed Bhai was the hawala operator
initially. Indian Mujahideen is nothing but an offshoot of Lashakar E Toiba which is
linked to ISI,” said an official.
Sources said Yasin made Pokhara in Nepal as his shelter to lie low . He initially worked
as tour guide and later started practicing Unani medicine. After Dilshuknagar blasts he
went to Nepal and was shuttling.

Bhatkal brothers of IM used Satphones

Investigation agencies interrogating terror suspect Yasin Bhatkal
have confirmed that the terror suspects of Indian Muhahideen are using satellite phones.
Investigations revealed that Bhatkal brothers used satellite phone to contact handlers in
Karachi while in Nepal and operatives in the country.  Yasin Bhatkal interrogation
revealed several terror modules modes operandi of communication.
Yasin Bhatkal revealed that his cousin Iqbal Bhatkal alias Mohammed bhai alias Bada Bhai
had visited Nepal in 2013 first quarter and was using satellite phone to talk to his
handlers based in Karachi in Pakistan sources said.
There is a ban on Satellite phone services in the country but terror suspects, organized
mafia gangsters and Maoists were using the satphones.
“Terror suspects are in touch with their handlers of Lashkar e Toiba through satellite
phones. It is difficult to track them and to intercept. Even during Mumbai attacks a
satphone used by 10 terrorists was seized from the fishing trawler M V Kuber. While cell
phone used cell towers on the earth the satellite phone used satellite orbiting in the
sky,” said an official.
The investigators of NIA and state police are also trying to elicit information on how
Yasin Bhatkal and Riyaz Bhatkal raised funds apart from the hawala transfers from
Pakistan via Nepal to India.
Mansoor Peerbhoy a techies arrested in IM module revealed that Iqbal Bhatkal was

basically the hawala operated and was seriously involved in transfer of money.

Interstate Operations Teams of Andhra Pradesh SIB to hunt down the surviving top cadres of CPI Maoists

Udumula Sudhakar Reddy

State Special Intelligence Branch has set up two Interstate
Operations teams to hunt down the top cadres of Maoists. The interstate operations are
headed by an Additional SP rank official. One of the ISO teams will be focusing on
Dandakaranya and the other in the rest of the country.

With intensified operations by AP police the Maoist movement is restricted only to
Central region of the country. Sources said that the operations are aimed at neutralizing
the surviving 15 central committee members of CPI Maoists. Out of 45 CC members the
number have now come down to 15 as others were either killed in exchange of fire or
arrested. There was no new expansion of central committee in the recent times.
Maoist cadres  are confined only to Central Region. Dankaranya Special Zonal Committee
that has strong hold in three districts of Chattisgarh and runs Janathan Sarkar has
around 9514 underground cadres including the armed militia. DKSZC is the only biggest
unit now existing in the country and is lead by Ravula Srinivas alias Ramanna.
Recruitments have stopped after Salwa Judum has been closed. “The recruitment has dropped
drastically. Salwa Judum’s alleged atrocities were the driving force earlier and now
there is no motive for the locals,”
Sources said due to the simmering division between local and non local Maoist cadres in
Dandakaranya the locals were made commanders of two battalions including the latest
second battalion formed in DK.
In Bihar Jharkand Special Zonal Committee agencies found that around 5335 underground
cadres for the left wing extremist group and it has 62 squads. Followed by it is Andhra
Oissa Border, Maharasthra and Orissa committees.
North Telangana committee has only 10 squads with 82 armed Maoists and 17 members of
special guerrilla squad and around 10 armed militia taking the underground cadres to 109.
A source said ,”The Bihari cadres want someone from erstwhile Maoist Communist Centre (it
was merged with Peoples war to form CPI Maoist) to be head of Central Committee after
Muppala Laxman Rao alias Ganapathi. Actually Katakam Sudharshan alias Anand was the most
capable of the top cadres and Nambala Keshav Rao is heading central military commission,”
 Out of 15 central committee members except two to three all are from Andhra Pradesh.
