Dayanand Pai facing charge of forgery in a property deal

October 18, 2012

Bangalore, October 18: The city police are not only investigating Tuesday evening's shooting at builder and educationist Dayanand Pai here but also Mr. Pai himself for his alleged role in a forgery case along with Shivajinagar MLA Roshan Baig.

Mr. Pai, a member of the board of management, B.M.S. Institute of Technology, and syndicate member of Mangalore and Manipal Universities, was shot at, allegedly by a local gangster, over a property row near the busy Ramakrishna Ashram junction here five minutes past six on Tuesday evening.

Although the case involving him and Mr. Baig was filed last October, the jurisdictional Bharati Nagar police have reportedly not made any headway.

The case, filed by city builder Ziaulla Sharieff, said Mr. Baig booked a penthouse for his wife on Haines Road by paying Rs. 5 lakh advance with the assurance that the remaining Rs. 45 lakh would be paid in instalments by the time of execution of the sale deed.

Although there was paper work was not done or general power of attorney issued, Mr. Baig took possession of the penthouse and renovated it. When Mr. Sharieff asked for the money, Mr. Baig allegedly threatened him with dire consequences and sold the penthouse to a third party for Rs.1.5 crore, Mr. Sharieff's complaint said.

Mr. Baig allegedly forged the sale deed with the help of Mr. Pai who signed the document claiming to be the apartment's owner.

The Bharati Nagar police sent the documents for forensic examination.

“Preliminary investigation has revealed that Mr. Sharieff has been duped. We are waiting for more evidence,” a police officer who is part of theSecurity

Meanwhile, Mr. Pai has been provided with two police gunmen for round-the-clock security following Tuesday's attack, Additional Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) T. Suneel Kumar said.

Contrary to the police statement that his car was bulletproof, the police clarified on Wednesday that its windows had a fibre sheet placed between two or three thick sheets of glass, which helped resist the force of the bullets fired by the assailants.

The Basavanagudi police, who are investigating, said that the two rounds fired at Mr. Pai's car came from 0.22 bore country-make pistols. “We are checking the CCTV footage on the stretch along with [mobile phone] call record details for the clues,” the police said.

The Central Crime Branch is tracking down Hebbet Manja's men after the gangster claimed on a TV channel he orchestrated the attack.

The police are verifying details about a complaint filed at Rajanakunte police station involving Mr. Dayanand Pai over land dispute which allegedly trigged the attack.

However, the Rajanukunte police denied having received any such complaint.

Block, district presidents in Karnataka will be changed soon: KPCC working president

News Network

September 14,2024

Mangaluru: The block level and District Congress Committee presidents in the state will be changed in the next one month for better reach into society and bring in organisational fortification, said Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee working president G C Chandrasheker on Saturday.

The All India Congress Committee and KPCC have a vision for bringing a change in how the party works with the last man and woman in the state, he said at a press conference here.

"We are looking at bringing development models into the state with a new vision. We are a party that likes to work with the opposition in the developmental aspects and keep all other matters away that do not relate to the development of the state.

"We have a great respect for the people of the coast who are considered to be forward-looking and perceptible, but it is also true that we do not have the numbers in the upper house and in the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)," he said.

"Our endeavour is to not only create a strong pro-development workforce at the base level by strengthening the second and third level leadership in the state," he said.

Chandrasheker, who is also a Rajya Sabha member, said that he and his four colleagues of the rank of working presidents of the KPCC are going to every district to infuse the new thinking in our workers and leaders.

"This move will get a new surge considering the party is facing byelections in Shiggaon, Chennapatna and Sandhur segments and also vacant seats in the legislative council, followed by elections to the Urban Local Bodies and Panchayats" he said.

When asked about the reason for the changes, Chandrashekar said most of the people have already lived their tenures. The party wants to reward those who have not been given tickets to contest in the 2023 state assembly elections and 2024 Lok Sabha elections for political reasons.

There are quite good leaders and hard-working ground level workers who have great potential to lead the party in the coming years, he said.

"Women will get at least one top post in all District Congress Committees and block levels. There is also a move to give responsible positions for the workers and leaders coming from different strata of society, which are deliverable. The party will not shy away from it," he said.

The other two working presidents, Dr Manjunath Bhandary and Vasanth Kumar, were also present at the press conference.

Kumar said some of the regions in the state are dominated by the BJP. "We want to end this run and defeat the divisive models of the BJP." Bhandary said the Indian National Congress was aiming at a high development phase in the state and involve the opposition parties and their leaders in the development plans in the state.
