Eranakulam, Sept 26: A criminal case was filed against builders of three apartments for violating Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) norms in Eranakulam's Maradu in Kerala on Thursday.

Police have registered an FIR against three builders of H20, Alpha serene, and Jain apartments under section 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property).

Over 60 bank accounts linked to the builders have been frozen as part of the investigation.

This comes a day after the state government announced to register a criminal case against the builders of flats for violating CRZ norms.

On September 23, the Supreme Court reprimanded the Kerala government for allegedly allowing multi-storey buildings to come up illegally in a coastal zone and said it will fix responsibility on the erring officials involved in such kind of construction. The court also said it was "shocked" that the construction was allowed in a high-tide area in Kerala, where devastating floods occurred a month back.

The apex court had also said the state cannot undertake illegal constructions with the danger of floods and heavy rain looming large.

Following a report by a court-appointed committee, the apex court had on May 8 ordered the demolition of five apartment buildings -- around 400 flats -- in Maradu municipality.

Kollam: The Chithara police on Sunday arrested 26-year-old Instagram influencer Mubeena, accusing her of stealing 17 sovereigns of gold ornaments from her sister-in-law’s residence. 

The complaint was filed by Muneera, who reported that her wedding chain (6 sovereigns) and a bangle (1 sovereign), along with other ornaments, were found missing in early October. Muneera alleged that Mubeena took the gold while the family was out of the house.

After reviewing CCTV footage, police identified Mubeena as the individual responsible for the theft on September 30. Though she initially denied involvement, Mubeena later confessed, citing a desire to fund a lavish lifestyle as her motive.

“During further questioning, Mubeena admitted to a prior incident of stealing gold from a friend’s house,” the police stated. She was taken into custody under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), signaling a more thorough investigation into her past activities.
