The earrings made me chuckle... https://www.west-midlands.police.uk/news/burglar-jailed-after-prompt-police-work Burglar jailed after prompt police work Last updated 9th September 2023 A burglar who threatened a homeowner before stealing cash and bank cards has been jailed - after we promptly identified him from CCTV and a fingerprint left at the scene. Amardeep Rana claimed to have a gun after forcing his way into an address in Smethwick during the early hours of 24 March this year. The 34-year-old made off with the items and enquiries established the bank cards were used at two cash points in the area the same day. We quickly reviewed CCTV which showed it was Rana, of Showell Green Lane, Moseley, on both occasions and he was arrested within days. Amardeep Rana who has been jailed after pleading guilty to a charge of aggravated burglary In the meantime we'd obtained fingerprint evidence from a notepad within the burgled address which belonged to Rana. He pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary, and fraud, and was sentenced to two years and one month at Wolverhampton Crown Court on 30 August. The investigation was led by our dedicated Sandwell neighbourhood crime team. We fully understand the devastating impact burglary can have on those affected whether in their home or business environment and we'll always look to identify and prosecute offenders.

https://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/news/more-than-70-years-in-jail-for-money-laundering-and-people-smuggling-network-dismantled-by-the-nca Sixteen people who were part of a West London-based organised crime group involved in international money laundering and people smuggling have been given jail sentences totalling more than 70 years. A National Crime Agency investigation identified that members of the network were likely to have smuggled around £70 million in cash out of the UK, making hundreds of trips to Dubai, UAE, between 2017 and 2019. Around £1.5 million was seized from couriers leaving the UK but flight analysis, evidence from cash declarations in Dubai, and other material seized by the NCA showed the group had succeeded in transporting far more. As part of the investigation NCA officers also uncovered a plot involving members of the OCG to smuggle 17 migrants, including five children and a pregnant woman, into the UK in the back of a van carrying tyres in 2019. The van was intercepted by Dutch police, who were working with the NCA, before it could reach a ferry at the Hook of Holland. In November 2019, following weeks of surveillance, communications and flight data analysis, officers moved in to make arrests. Gang ringleader Charan Singh, 44, from Hounslow, was among those detained in a series of early morning raids across west London. Investigators were able to prove that Singh, who was formerly resident in the UAE, paid for flights to Dubai for other members of the network so they could carry cash. He also kept a ledger showing how much had been transported and when. It showed that at least 58 trips to Dubai were made by Singh and his couriers during 2017 alone. Further arrests followed and 18 people were eventually charged and prosecuted in two trials at Croydon Crown Court, starting in January 2023. The first trial, which concluded in April, saw six people, including Singh, found guilty of money laundering offences. Two defendants were additionally convicted for facilitating illegal immigration along with a third individual. Midway through the second trial, which started in April, six defendants changed their plea to guilty in relation to money laundering offences. Following a three-day sentencing hearing at Croydon Crown Court which concluded today [15 September], Charan Singh was handed a 12-and-a-half year jail term. His right hand man Valjeet Singh got 11 years, while trusted lieutenant Swander Singh Dhal got 10 years for money laundering and an additional five years for people smuggling. The other 15 members of the crime group were given sentences ranging between nine years and 11 months. Proceeds of Crime Act proceedings will now commence, with a view to identifying and seizing assets obtained as a result of the gang’s criminality. NCA senior investigating officer Chris Hill said: “Charan Singh and his network thought they were untouchable, moving tens of millions of pounds of criminal cash out of the UK. “The NCA mounted a long and complex investigation into their activities, and over a two year period we were able to evidence their involvement in money laundering and organised immigration crime. “The sentences handed down today marks the culmination of that investigation and years of work by our officers. 15 September 2023

Do you love India? Do you think all Sikhs should be loyal to India and that any who are not are ‘traitors’? I would do the same as any Sikh ambitious sports person who lives in India and represent the national teams, but they have no choice if they want to be big in sports And most rural Sikhs who join the army because they have no other viable options, not because they love India and want to sacrifice their life for her Urban Sikhs are some of the biggest Indian loyalists who have seem to me, have done little in terms of sacrifice in recent history, for Sikh causes.

Brother of Briton held in India says UK government is ‘more talk and no action’ Geneva Abdul @GenevaAbdul Tue 12 Sep 2023 07.00 BST https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/sep/12/brother-of-briton-held-in-india-says-uk-government-is-more-talk-and-no-action The brother of a British man held in an Indian jail for six years fears the UK government is “more talk” and “no action”, after Rishi Sunak raised the case with Narendra Modi at the recent G20 summit in Delhi. Jagtar Singh Johal, 36, claims to have been tortured and forced to make a confession since he was detained in India in 2017. He faces terrorism charges and the first stages of his trial have only just got under way after repeated delays caused by disputes over evidence. He denies the charges, and he could face a death sentence if convicted. More than 70 MPs had called on Sunak before the summit to request Johal’s release and the British prime minister said he raised the case with his Indian counterpart. He told broadcasters in Delhi: “Yes, I was able to, alongside a range of other consular issues that Prime Minister Modi and I discussed in the time that we had.” Johal’s older brother, Gurpreet, a solicitor and Labour councillor on West Dunbartonshire council who has campaigned tirelessly over the case, said: “I fear that this is just more talk from the UK government and no action.” While he was pleased that the prime minister had raised his brother’s case, he said it was not enough unless Sunak called for his release, in line with findings of the UN working group on arbitrary detention that acknowledged Johal’s arbitrary detention was in breach of human rights law and said he should be freed immediately. The government has previously argued it would not be in Johal’s best interests to do so. “Clearly, the prime minister had no option other than to raise Jagtar’s case after so many members of parliament demanded he do so,” Gurpreet said. “The campaign continues until Jagtar is back home in Scotland.” Jagtar Singh Johal has been held since 2017. Photograph: PA He believes the government is reluctant to take a stronger stance because it is “hellbent” on trying to secure a free trade deal with India. After 18 months of tortuous negotiations, the UK has yet to seal an agreement that was one of the great promises of Brexit. “It is categorically clear why they’re trying to do everything to appease the Indians, but the fact remains that the UK pride themselves on standing up for human rights, then they have to do so here,” Gurpreet said. The legal NGO Reprieve, which is representing Johal, said previous prime ministers had also raised the case but Johal remained in prison. “The government often says ministers have raised the case a hundred times, as if that makes their failure to seek the release of an arbitrarily detained British national any less shameful,” said Reprieve’s joint executive director Maya Foa. “What did Rishi Sunak say to Narendra Modi about the case and how did he respond? Without answers to these questions, the prime minister’s talk is meaningless.” Gurpreet, 38, recalled a phone call he received in the UK on 4 November 2017 from his sister-in-law in Punjab days after the couple’s wedding. She She was in a panic, he said, having seen her husband abducted, hooded and pulled into a van by plainclothes officers. Johal was held incommunicado for 10 days and denied consular assistance or access to a lawyer. He was accused of a role in killings by the Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF), a banned terrorist organisation – a charge he denies. “There’s not a day that goes by that you wish you could turn back the clock and we never went to India,” Gurpreet said. Over the last six years he has had two video calls with Johal. Their last phone call was in early August. “Today it’s my brother, tomorrow it could be yours,” he said. “If Britain doesn’t stand up for its citizens then we’re going to be liable to problems in every single country.” Earlier this year, newly filed court papers revealed that the Foreign Office had asked for claims to be examined in a secret court that Johal was detained and tortured after the security services passed intelligence to the Indian government. Last year, Boris Johnson acknowledged that the Indian authorities had arbitrarily detained Johal and said the UK government had consistently raised concerns about his treatment and right to a fair trial. Gurpreet said: “It’s categorically clear, if I don’t put pressure, with the community and the support that we do have, then the UK government would have sat idle and they will let this drag on for as long as they can. I’ve just got to keep fighting because if I don’t do it, nobody else is going to do it.” A UK government spokesperson said: “The UK government is committed to seeing Jagtar Singh Johal’s case resolved as soon as possible. We continue to provide consular assistance to Mr Johal and his family and have consistently raised his case directly with the government of India.” Gurpreet Singh Johal calls for increased pressure to free brother Jagtar after Rishi Sunak raised case with Narendra Modi The brother of a British man held in an Indian jail for six years fears the UK government is “more talk” and “no action”, after Rishi Sunak raised the case with Narendra Modi at the recent G20 summit in Delhi. Jagtar Singh Johal, 36, claims to have been tortured and forced to make a confession since he was detained in India in 2017.

Hindus dealing with drugs again! https://www.desiblitz.com/content/3-men-ran-2m-counterfeit-drugs-operation-on-dark-web 3 Men ran £2m Counterfeit Drugs Operation on Dark Web Three men from London made £2 million by selling counterfeit drugs from their secret factory on the dark web. Three men were jailed for a total of 24 years after the Met Police busted a £2 million dark web counterfeit drugs operation. Allen Valentine, his son Roshan and childhood friend Krunal Patel were producing and selling Benzodiazepines, a type of sedative, which is a Class C drug. They made at least £2 million in illicit profit. The trio also had several accounts on different dark web markets and advertised the sale of Xanax, Diazepam and in the past, Valium. Detectives launched an investigation in January 2022 after receiving intelligence from the United States’ Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). They discovered that the men were visiting a warehouse unit at Acton Business Centre. This is where the drugs were produced, packaged and supplied. Isleworth Crown Court heard the men were operating under the guise of a company called Puzzle Logistics Limited, which was formed in 2016. ... The pills were analysed and found to contain Class C drugs from the Benzodiazepine group including Deschloroetizolam, Flubromazepam, Bromazolam and Flualprazolam. Allen Valentine told the jury he was a doctor and has qualifications in pharmacy. Enquiries are currently ongoing to verify the claims. The trio were charged with conspiracy to produce Class C drugs and money laundering offences. Detective Constable Alex Hawkins, of the Met’s Cyber Crime Unit led the investigation. He said: “The three men ran a sophisticated, large-scale production of fake pharmaceutical drugs sold on the dark web that appeared to be genuine. “Their operation was solely for the greed of those involved bearing no concern for the vulnerabilities of those purchasing these drugs. “Some of the drugs contained completely different chemicals from those which should be in the genuine tablets; some of them are extremely dangerous. “This is the first seizure of those chemicals in the UK and as such legislation will be amended later this year to include these drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act as Class A substances. .... Allen Valentine, aged 62, of Harrow, was jailed for 11 years. Roshan Valentine, aged 39, of Northwood, was jailed for seven years. Krunal Patel, aged 40, of Harrow, was jailed for six years.

Call the police’: Man told kids he slit throats of his wife and mother JERRY LAMBESep 11th, 2023, 2:12 pm 6 comments SHARE Iqbal Singh and the home where he killed his wife and mother (KYW-TV screenshots) A 66-year-old man in Pennsylvania will spend decades behind bars after admitting to killing his wife and mother inside of his home three years ago, then calling his children and saying, “I killed your mother and grandmother.” Delaware County Common Pleas Court Judge George M. Green last week ordered Iqbal Singh to serve a sentence of 23 to 60 years in a state correctional facility for the slayings of his wife, Jaspal Kaur, and mother, Nasib Kaur, court documents reviewed by Law&Crime show. Singh reached a deal with prosecutors in which he agreed to plead guilty to one count of third-degree murder and one count of aggravated assault causing significant bodily injury with extreme indifference. Judge Green sentenced Singh to 20 to 40 years on the murder charge and three to 20 years on the assault charge. In exchange for pleading guilty, prosecutors dropped charges of criminal homicide, first-degree murder, and possession of a weapon with criminal intent. According to a copy of the probable cause affidavit obtained by the Delaware County Times Daily, officers with the Newtown Township Police Department at about 9:46 a.m. on Aug. 23, 2020, responded to an emergency call at a residence located in the first block of Rockwood Road. The caller — later identified as Singh — reportedly told the emergency dispatcher that he had just killed his wife and mother. Upon arriving at the scene, first responders knocked on the front door. Singh was “covered in blood” when he greeted the officers, telling them that he had just committed a double murder. “Police asked Singh if there was anyone inside the residence hurt,” the department wrote in a press release. “Singh advised officers that he had killed his wife and mother and that they were inside the residence.” ... Days later, Singh reportedly told investigators that he was suffering from depression and had bipolar disorder, saying he “never” would have harmed his wife or mother if he were well.

If this was a gora, they would have made every effort to label it as 'mental health' ; he clearly has mental issues

@kdsingh80 This is what we think of urban Sikhs and their loyalty and damage they have done to the 'Sardaar' image (whilst doing relatively little useful for the wider Sikh community or Sikh issues , unlike rural Sikhs) I bet you are a big supporter of India in cricket! Thank you to @chatanga1 Veer who is giving us a different perspective to Dalsingh's usual 'blame it on jatts' And @dalsingh101 how many of the Kharkhus in Panjab in the 1980s-1990s were from Tarkhaans? Very few it seems to me

https://www.desiblitz.com/content/why-was-the-1st-mahek-bukhari-murder-trial-halted Why was the 1st Mahek Bukhari Murder Trial Halted? TikToker Mahek Bukhari and seven others were jailed for murder but why was the first trial halted by the judge? September 2, 2023 After TikTok influencer Mahek Bukhari and seven others were jailed for murdering two men, the reason why the first trial was halted by the judge in 2022 can now be revealed. It was reported that in the final week of that first trial, there was a “heated” argument in the jury room, with one juror accusing another of being racist. The two jurors were asked to explain the argument. One woman said she had been shocked by the other’s racist views about incest and sinister “connections” between the Asian and Middle Eastern defendants. The second juror wrote a note that confirmed they were unfit to continue as a juror. It was also decided that dismissing the one racist juror would not be enough, due to suggestions in their note that other jurors also agreed with the “shocking” racist views they held. A statement issued in early December 2022 by Mr Justice Saini explaining why the trial was halted can now be reported. It read: “The trial began in early October 2022 and is now in its closing stages. “During a mid-morning break, I received a message from an usher that there was a heated verbal altercation taking place between two jurors. “I asked that they be separated from one another and that they each send me a note of their concerns. I was informed that Juror B was very upset about being ‘called out’ as a ‘racist’ by Juror A.

You LOVE to say/think I and others are simplistic! Maybe I was exaggerating?! I know most Sikhs in India don't want it, for various reasons. Some of the urban Sikhs however, do deserve to be treated with suspicion. They marry into Hindus and mix it with Sikhi and don't see themselves as niara. They also propagate many stereotypes about Sikhs (many are fat - not in a muscle + fat way that many pendus are; many of them drink; many of them wear embarrassing colored Pagris). They also love to be in crowds supporting Indian cricket team. Why are you always slow to stick up for Sikhs when there are pro-Hindutva members posting here?!
