The accused allegedly swindled him and five others out of Rs 56 lakh by promising exceptional returns on stock market investments. In his FIR, the 29-year-old complainant detailed that he encountered Kailash Bulchandani, who operates from a commercial complex in the Satellite area, at the latter's office in 2022. Bulchandani is a native of Adipur in Gandhidham, Kutch. He partners with Neel Mehta from Zundal in Chandkheda. A mutual friend introduced the complainant to the pair when he sought information about investment opportunities. According to the complainant, Bulchandani assured him of doubled returns on investments. After being persuaded by both Bulchandani and Mehta, the complainant proceeded with the investment. Bulchandani reportedly promised monthly returns of Rs 10,000 for every Rs 10 lakh invested in the stock market. They formalised the arrangement through an MoU (memorandum of understanding) guaranteeing regular payments. The complainant revealed that five of his friends also invested through the duo. By Aug 2022, the total invested amount reached Rs 56 lakh. However, the accused only disbursed Rs 10,000 for two months before ceasing all payments. Subsequently, the complainant and other investors approached Satellite police station recently to register a case of breach of trust, cheating, and criminal conspiracy under the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The story began when Bu, a young man in his mid-20s, was found to be in possession of illegal substances and suspected to be involved in a series of criminal activities. It was later revealed that Bu had been harboring a female postgraduate student in his apartment, leading to suspicions of kidnapping or human trafficking. The female student, who was reported missing days earlier, was found in a distressed state but physically unharmed.A rested flock was set to return to the ice after the holiday break as the Ducks geared up to dive headlong into a back-to-back set at home that would see them opposed by the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday and the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday. After last Sunday’s dramatic comeback against Utah HC capped a spurt of three wins in four games, a competitive effort in Vegas in their fourth game in six nights fell short against the Pacific Division-pacing Golden Knights on Monday. In a game where shots on goal, shot attempts and other possession metrics were roughly even, the Ducks’ 0-for-4 performance on the power play loomed large. That was especially true since it was part of a broader stretch that has seen them go 1-for-19 while also allowing their only two five-on-four goals this season, including one against Vegas. They’ve been outscored narrowly overall, 16-14, in the five games they’ve played during that span. “We’ve got to get the power play going. That has been sputtering along,” Coach Greg Cronin told reporters. “When you do get power-play goals, it actually generates some offensive confidence, five-on-five. There’s a lot of frustration on the bench when they don’t score, particularly when we’re not getting a lot of chances and the other team’s getting shorthanded goals and shorthanded chances.” The Ducks were also shorthanded on Sunday in a different fashion, as they lost forward Brock McGinn (lower-body) and goalie John Gibson (upper-body) early in Vegas. Per Derek Lee of The Hockey News, neither player practiced on Saturday, though the Ducks said that Gibson’s absence was related to a separate illness as opposed to his upper-body injury. McGinn should be considered doubtful while Gibson and Lukáš Dostál might still split the two upcoming matches as planned initially. The first of those two games will pit the Ducks against Philadelphia, which has spent much of the year attempting to overcome a six-game winless slump that followed its season opener. Though they’ve cobbled together a pair of four-wins-in-five-games surges, the Flyers most recently lost four of five, surrendering 28 goals in those five outings. Travis Konecny, who signed an eight-year contract worth $70 million over the summer, leads the Flyers in scoring with 41 points. Matvei Michkov remained the frontrunner in the Calder Trophy race, though San Jose’s Macklin Celebrini has become an increasingly formidable challenger while Montreal’s Lane Hutson has emerged as a dark horse. Edmonton has won 11 of its past 13 contests to catapult itself in the standings. As recently as Dec. 5, the Oilers sat fifth in the Pacific, but they’ve since leapfrogged three teams –– the Kings, Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks –– to situate themselves directly behind Vegas.

Wells Fargo has reportedly initiated coverage of energy equipment manufacturer GE Vernova Inc ($GEV) with an ‘Overweight’ rating and a price target of $385. The target implies nearly 10% upside potential from the current levels. Shares of the firm were trading over 2% higher on Thursday afternoon, following the announcement. Notably, GE Vernova was spun-off from General Electric earlier this year. Wells Fargo analyst Michael Blum believes strong AI-related power demand could make GE Vernova a key beneficiary, according to a CNBC report. The analyst noted that gas will be the most in-demand form of energy in the coming times and this could lead to an 8% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for the company in the next eight years. “As power demand grows and more distributed generation is added to the mix, aging grids will require significant investment to manage the increasingly complex and dynamic environment,” Blum stated, according to the report. “GEV’s transformers, HVDC [High-voltage direct current], and grid software offerings are well positioned to benefit from this growing demand,” he added. According to the analyst, power demand is set to grow at a 3% CAGR from 2024 to 2032. “We project high levels of demand for its suite of generation and grid products, and believe the company has strong potential to accrete margin through price raises and lean manufacturing,” Blum stated. Meanwhile, retail sentiment on Stocktwits continued to trend in the ‘bullish’ territory (60/100), accompanied by ‘high’ message volumes. Some Stocktwits users expressed optimism on the stock’s potential going ahead. Since March 2024, the stock has gained a whopping 167%, significantly outperforming the benchmark indices.Tua Tagovailoa says he's had personal security since one of his cars was broken into

A potentially botched traffic stop by three Billings Police officers has led to more than 170 criminal cases investigated by the officers being reviewed, with several felony cases already dismissed. In May 2023, three officers responding to a traffic stop obtained consent from the driver to search the vehicle by what the Yellowstone County Attorney’s Office deemed deceptive means. Starting in October of this year, the county attorney’s office has compiled a list of criminal cases investigated by the three officers and is asking defense attorneys to review those cases for any potential misconduct. “My attorneys are going to get together with defense attorneys,” Yellowstone County Attorney Scott Twito said Friday, “and we’re going to figure out how this issue involving these officers will impact their cases. That’s my constitutional obligation.” The three officers have been placed on leave pending an internal investigation, said Billings Police Chief Rich St. John. In that May 1, 2023, traffic stop, Billings Police Officers Matthew Bistline, Ian Busta and Blaine Lane responded, according to a letter issued by Twito on Wednesday. Although verbal consent seemed to have been given to search the vehicle, one conversation recorded on the officers’ body cameras “appeared to focus on obtaining written consent of the driver through a deceptive manner,” Twito wrote. During that conversation, two of those officers either removed or shut off their body cameras. “Because of these circumstances, it is possible that in this case, the written consent was obtained by deceptive means,” Twito wrote. Tyler Dugger, a defense attorney based in Billings, represented the woman stopped by the three officers. She was charged with criminal possession of dangerous drugs and her case was weeks away from trial when she told Dugger there may have been misconduct on the responding officers' part. Although Dugger declined to share specific details he found from reviewing body camera footage of the stop, he said he found some elements of the officers' behavior to be "concerning" and "problematic." Dugger disclosed his findings to the prosecutor and the case was subsequently dismissed. Starting in October, the Yellowstone County Attorney’s Office launched a massive investigation into all active criminal cases involving the three officers. Not long after Twito’s office became aware of the details revealed in the traffic stop in late October, he made identifying all cases in which the three officers played a role a priority, he said. “It was an added extra obligation,” he said, “but it’s an important obligation.” The intent of the letter, Twito told the Gazette, is to notify defense attorneys their clients may potentially be impacted, and to invite those attorneys to review those cases. “Being a police officer is a tough job,” Billings attorney Joe Zavatsky said, “but we have to hold them to high standards because that is the government, and when the government is treating individuals unfairly that is not good.” Zavatsky, with Alpine Law, is representing two clients whose cases have been flagged by the Yellowstone County Attorney’s Office for review. In the moment after an officer asks for consent to search a vehicle, Zavatsky said, a million things can be going through a person’s mind, regardless of whether or not they have anything illegal in their vehicle. Even if a driver says, “no,” Zavatsky explained, an officer can seize their vehicle pending a search warrant. “You’re in such a hard spot right there to make a decision,” he said, “and if an officer is not being forthright in how they’re explaining that, then it tips the scales in an unjust and unfair way.” with his letter, Twito included a list of all active cases currently under review, and is asking defense attorneys to inform their clients and discuss case resolutions with prosecutors. In total, the YCAO has identified 178 potentially compromised criminal cases. Those active cases date back to 2021, and include men and woman accused of murder, rape and assault. The majority of those cases are in the pretrial stage of resolution. Zavatsky said he received the announcement of the investigation, along with the list of impacted cases on Wednesday. The two cases in which he’s named as a defense attorney, he said, will likely not be impacted. In the case of Panda Emily Aradia, BPD Officer Lane shot Aradia after she brought a loaded handgun into the Billings Clinic and threatened staff. The shooting was captured on camera, Zavatsky said, and as such will not impede the appeal filed on Aradia’s behalf to the Montana Supreme Court. The second client represented by Zavatsky on the list, Jane Nicole Knowshisgun, recently reached a plea agreement with county prosecutors in which she admitted to tampering with evidence in a homicide case. Her case will also likely not be impacted, Zavatsky said. Although Zavatsky has not gone through each case named by the YCAO, he said the role of the three officers will probably be more limited in the serious cases, like the nine murder cases. For homicide cases in particular, he said, BPD detectives perform most of the investigation, and none of the three officers were part of the BPD Investigations Division. Dugger commended county prosecutors and BPD for their proactive response. In the weeks leading up to the letter from Twito, Dugger said he's represented several clients whose cases have been dismissed, and estimated that roughly a third of his 10 active criminal cases mentioned in the list probably will be impacted. Bistline, Lane and Busta have all been disciplined over the past four years for violating BPD policy, according to disciplinary records obtained by the Gazette. Those policy violations have included reaching excessive speeds during pursuits, violating the department’s policy regarding gathering and preserving evidence and violating the BPD’s ethical standards in use of social media. Most of those violations resulted in those officers receiving oral or written warnings. Bistline, who joined BPD in the summer of 2021, has been disciplined five times for violating BPD policy, according to data from the department. Prior to moving to Billings, he was a deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. In March 2020, he was The investigation concluded the shooting was not unlawful. Two years into his service as a BPD officer, Bistline received the Officer of the Year Award from the Montana Association of Chiefs of Police at ceremony in which Gov. Greg Gianforte was present. Bistline was also one of seven enforcement officers in May 2022. Last month, a coroner’s jury concluded that the Gazette previously reported. Officer Lane, another one of the first responders who shot Yellowtail when he drew a toy pistol on police, has been disciplined by the department five times in the past four years. In those four years, Lane has been reprimanded for improper use and care of a police vehicle and violating the department’s code of conduct in his use of social media. Busta has faced five disciplinary actions in the past four years for his conduct as an officer. In 2023, he received an oral warning for violating the department’s video recording policy, and earlier this year he was required to undergo “education base discipline” for violating BPD’s policy regarding emergency responses and police pursuits. In an email to the Gazette, Chief St. John confirmed that the three officers were the subject of an internal investigation focusing on any potential misconduct. "Although no disposition has been determined," St. John said, "the seriousness of the allegation and potential negative effect on criminal justice processes required I put them on leave out of an abundance of caution. More information will be available when the investigation and administrative process are complete." Situations in which the YCAO has to undergo a massive evaluation of its caseload are rare, Twito said, but they do happen, such as in 2018 The technician was fired, and the thefts jeopardized dozens of criminal cases. Working with all of the people who encompass the criminal justice system in Billings, Twito said, there’s always the potential for similar scenarios. “This is a process that’s rare,” he said, “but we’ve gone through it before.” “What I can say is we need to let that process unfold.” Now that prosecutors have combed through their caseload to best of their abilities, Dugger said, it is now the job of defense attorneys to review their own cases to confirm which, if any, will be affected. The cases likely to be impacted the most, he said, are those in which Bistline, Lane and Busta served as the primary investigators. As such, it is more than likely Billings Municipal Court will have a larger number of impacted cases. The City Attorney's Office did not immediately respond for comment. "The next step," Dugger said, "and the open question right now is potential action in closed cases."
In recent years, video games based on the "Indiana Jones" franchise have gained popularity, allowing players to step into the shoes of the daring archaeologist and embark on their own thrilling adventures. However, one point of contention among fans is the portrayal of Indiana Jones in the video games compared to the iconic performance by Harrison Ford in the films.EDMONTON - Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the government is working to get taxpayer value for the money it paid for medication that has yet to be approved and delivered. Smith announced the plan two years ago amid a national shortage of children’s pain medication. The province spent $70 million upfront to import five million bottles from Turkey-based Atabay Pharmaceuticals. But Alberta Health Services said Friday that Health Canada only approved 1.5 million bottles or $21 million worth of product. That left a credit of $49 million. Smith said this week the holdup is with Health Canada, which would have to approve a new suite of imports for the province to get its money’s worth. “We’re waiting for Health Canada to work with AHS to identify the products, get the formulations, approve it, so that we’re able to execute on it. Those things take time,” Smith said in a year-end interview. The premier said the province had to pay the $70 million upfront. “They delivered a portion, and then the supply chains were restored, and we didn’t need to fulfil it with the two products we’d initially ordered. So we have a credit on file with Atabay,” said Smith. The government and AHS declined to say what specific products they’re seeking or when they might arrive. “We want it to be delivered soon,” said Smith. Health Canada was unable to provide an immediate response. AHS said the $70-million prepayment went to Edmonton-based medical supplier MHCare. AHS did not address questions about how common it is to pay the entire contracting fee upfront with no apparent backstops to ensure fulfilment. The costs of shipping, waste disposal and other administration tied to the deal were initially estimated to be an extra $10 million, but are yet to be finalized. NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi said Smith’s United Conservative government signed a deal that didn’t follow normal procurement practices, and it backfired. “The federal government had already signed a deal to get real Tylenol onto the shelves that arrived before the Turkish Tylenol,” he told The Canadian Press. “Albertans should be really angry, because we basically have given$80 million of taxpayers money that could have built schools.” Smith’s government has stood by the decision to import the medication because, in late 2022, parents were desperate to find relief for their children at the height of the respiratory virus season. The purchase has long been mired in difficulties. It was immediately beset by delays, as the province sought regulatory approvals and sorted out packaging and warning labels. Pharmacists had to keep some of the medicine behind the counter to make sure customers who bought it were aware of the comparatively lower dosage. Hospital neonatal units eventually stopped using it due to safety concerns. The purchase also sparked questions about whether the province’s relaxed ethics rules meant elected officials could be bought for the right price. Multiple UCP cabinet ministers have said they accepted free tickets to Edmonton Oilers hockey games during the Stanley Cup playoffs. They said they followed conflict-of-interest rules and denied any claims of disreputable behaviour. Health Minister Adriana LaGrange has said AHS has identified what imported adult medications it could use, is in negotiations with Atabay and is working to get approval from Health Canada. “Once those processes have been gone through, I will be happy to share exactly what those medications are,” she said Thursday. “My goal has always been to get products that we can use, get maximum value out of what’s remaining on the books there, and that’s what’s happening.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 6, 2024.
