    CBI action after the strictness of Supreme Court, FIR on many builders in cheating from home buyers


    Taking major action on the direction of the Supreme Court, the CBI has registered 6 regular cases against several builders and officials of unknown financial institutions in Kolkata, Bangalore and Mumbai. Along with this, the CBI has raided 12 locations in these three cities.

    This action has been taken after the complaints of thousands of houses buyers who were misled with the connivance of builders and financial institutions. Many victims had reached the Supreme Court directly and there was a case of tricks of home loans called 'Subvention Scheme'.

    Supreme Court ordered CBI

    In April 2025, the Supreme Court directed the CBI to register 7 preliminary enquiries. Out of these, 6 tests were related to the builders of the NCR area, on which 22 cases have already been registered and the investigation is going on. The seventh investigation was on the builders outside the NCR. After the report of this investigation was submitted to the Supreme Court, the court ordered the CBI to register 6 regular cases.

    Among the companies registered on M/s ITHACA Estate Private Limited (Bangalore), M/S LGCL Urban Homes (India) LLP (Bangalore), M/S Ozone Urbana Infra Developers Pvt. LTD (Bangalore), M/S Shashwati Realty Pvt. LTD (in Mumbai-Project Bangalore), M/S MKHS Housing LLP (Kolkata) and M/S Accme Realities Pvt. LTD (Mumbai) includes.

    CBI found necessary evidence in search

    During the search, CBI has found many important documents and digital evidence. The investigating agency says that the raid is still going on. This step is being considered a major legal initiative against the builders who cheated home buyers across the country and financial institutions in collusion with them.

  • 9 killed in Kolkata due to current, TMC leaders said- 'This is suicide', created a ruckus

    9 killed in Kolkata due to current, TMC leaders said- 'This is suicide', created a ruckus


    The comment by a senior official of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) created a political controversy on Thursday (September 25, 2025) after the death of at least nine people due to waterlogging due to heavy rains in Kolkata and the current of electricity. The official commented that stepping on the submerged roads is similar to 'suicide'.

    At least 11 people died in the torrential rains in the city and surrounding areas on the morning of 23 September. Nine of these deaths occurred in Kolkata and in two surrounding areas. In KMC, in -charge of drainage and member of Mayor Congress Council and Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Tarak Singh said that citizens should be cautious and avoid going to flood areas, where electric poles pose a risk of short circuit.

    BJP attacked about controversial remarks

    Singh told reporters, “When we all know that going to the submerged roads can cause short circuit and due to this death can also occur, even if someone comes down in it, it is like committing suicide.” Opposition parties strongly criticized this comment and accused the ruling TMC of being insensitive.

    Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Councilor Sajal Ghosh made fun of Singh's comment, saying, “With this argument, Mayor Firhad Hakim should be arrested first, because he was seen walking in water to his knees with an umbrella in his hand, did he also attempts to commit suicide?”

    CPI will kill deaths

    Marxist Communist Party (CPI -M) Central Committee member Sujan Chakraborty called these deaths as 'suicide, murder' and blamed the state government, KMC and power company for this. He said, 'This is an excellent example of human -borne disaster and many people lost their lives due to the negligence and disability of the administration.'

    Suman Rai Chaudhary, spokesman of the state unit of the Congress, also called Singh's remarks 'shameless rescue'. On the other hand, senior TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee held a meeting with former Kolkata Mayor Sowan Chatterjee on Thursday.
