The CSI Trust illegally operates a church, educational institute, hostels, and hospitals on 12.66 acres of land near Panneerselvam Park in Erode. The CSI management created fake documents claiming that the land was obtained through an auction from the then-British government 100 years ago, and then requested the Survey officer that the land be transferred to the CSI and a title deed be issued. Following this, CSI trust got the title deed for the 800 crore property.

However, the Special Tahsildar of Erode, who was skeptical of the title deed, petitioned the Administrative Commissioner of Revenue against the CSI management, requesting an investigation. Following an investigation, it was discovered that the land belonged to the government and that the CSI management was illegally occupying it using forged documents. Later, the trial was held in the Madras High Court after the CSI management decided to appeal the Revenue Commissioner’s orders.

Recently, Justice M. Thandapani of the Madras High Court issued an order in this case. Madras High Court Advocate Jayganesh stated in this regard:

” A person named Bobley purchased 12.66 acres of land in the heart of Erode from the British government in 1905 for a London missionary for ₹12,910. Later the place was enjoyed by CSI Trust Management. The place had the then Sub-Collector’s bungalow and grounds around it. However, after the British left, the CSI administration brought the entire place under their control.”

He continued,” On June 30, 2010, Erode Settlement Officer gave the Patta for the land to CSI before few days of his retirement. The then-Special Tahsildar of Erode filed an appeal with the Commissioner of Revenue Administration against the Settlement Officer’s decision. The Commissioner of Revenue Administration ordered an inquiry into the land occupied by the CSI management.”

He proceeded, “The Special Tahsildar of Erode summoned all parties and informed them that the land, valued at 800 crores under current guidelines, belonged to the government. He submitted a 30-page investigation report to the Commissioner of Revenue Administration saying that the land has to be handed over to the government. Meanwhile, according to Erode Corporation’s ‘Master Plan – 2,’ an 80-foot road can be built from a portion of the area to the railway station.”

The CSI and Trustees filed a case in the Madras High Court against the government’s order. The suit has been joined by a group of devotees of the famous Mariyamman Temple, which is located outside the 12.66-acre plot, and the Erode People’s Welfare Association. This case went to trial in 2015. CSI filed the sale certificate for the land they already owned on behalf of the trust management.

Petitioners stated in their affidavit, “Except for the building built by the CSI Foundation for social work on 12.66 acres of government land, the CSI administration has been paying an annual rent of ₹1 per one acre. According to the terms of the agreement, CSI and Trust Management have been paying rent to the government. However, the government has refused to collect the rent beyond the specified period.”

Therefore, the devotees and the government informed the court that, with the exception of the buildings constructed by the CSI Trust, all of the other land belongs to the government.

After examining the documents, Justice M. Dandapani of Madras High Court said, “Because the land belongs to the government, the Erode Corporation can immediately take it for the construction of an 80-foot road in a portion of it. Furthermore, the Chief Secretary, the Secretary of Revenue, and the Commissioner of Revenue Administration should ensure that the road works proceed smoothly.”

He directed that the rest of the land, except for the buildings of CSI, be reclaimed by the government.

Church of South India allegedly sold defence land to metro rail

An FIR was registered against the Church of South India (CSI) on the 20th of August  2019 by the Cubbon Park Police Station for allegedly ‘cheating’ the defence ministry by selling 7,426 square metres of its land located in the All Saints Church complex to the Bengaluru Metro Project without its knowledge and consent. Investigation on the matter is underway.

“We are inquiring into the Defence Ministry’s complaint that the CSI had illegally sold a portion of its land, leased to it over a century ago, for the metro project and collected Rs 60 crore compensation from its operator (BMRCL),” Bengaluru Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Chetan Singh Rathore told IANS.

“We have asked both the parties to submit us all documents pertaining to the prime land to ascertain its rightful owner, as they (records) date back to 1860s when the city was under the British rule and the Mysuru Wodeyars were the owners of public lands then,” said Rathore.

“As preliminary investigation has also revealed that both the parties have contested the land ownership in a city civil court, we will wait for its outcome before proceeding with the case,” added Rathore.

“As KIADB is the state-run agency dealing with sale and purchase of lands for industries and infrastructure projects across the southern state, it has vetted the documents the CSI submitted for acquiring it and compensating for it suitably,” BMRCL official YBK. Chavan told IANS.

“If the Defence Ministry claims that the land was leased to the CSI in the 1860s, the onus is on it to prove that it was its owner and submit the lease agreement they both would have entered into over 130 years ago” Rathore asserted.

Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL) had acquired the disputed land for the construction of the Vellara Junction underground station from Dairy Circle to Nagawara. In total, BMRCL acquired 3,618 sq meters of the church land occupied by tenants such as Tom’s Hotel and Fatima Bakery. It had paid Rs 60 crore as compensation to the Church of South India.

“In the 1860s or subsequently till the mid-1940s, where was the Indian government and the defence ministry to claim that the land in the All Saints Church premises belonged to it unless it was an open land and inherited by the transfer of assets from the British regime,” a Church official told IANS on the condition of anonymity.

A Defence Official said that legal action would be taken against CSI for breaching the lease agreement and Rs. 60 crore would be demanded as compensation for selling the land without taking permission from appropriate authorities.

On December 5, Maharashtra Police arrested an individual named Saif Ali Saleem for raping a 14-year-old Hindu Adivasi girl from Patan town of Satara district.

Patan, Satara: Saif Ali Saleem raped a 14-year-old Hindu girl behind her school in Morgiri. If her scream doesn't shake your conscience, nothing else will. A protest was held today against this incident in Patan. pic.twitter.com/tiVnP0Udmd

The accused sexually assaulted the victim twice in the year and shot videos on his phone. The Police registered an FIR against the accused under the relevant sections of the society.

According to the local reports, the accused, a resident of the Pethshivapur region of Patan lured the Adivasi girl, a resident of Morgiri, Patan, by saying that he was in love with her. He then forcefully took her to a hotel in September of this year and established sexual relations with her without her will and permission.

Later on November 14, the accused again trapped her behind her school in Morgiri and raped her brutally. He also shot videos of the girl and uploaded them on social media platforms. The accused before executing the crime made the girl believe that he liked her and that he was madly in love with her.

The Police immediately arrested the accused after the victim filed the complaint on December 5 and sought his remand for further investigation. According to the Police, the accused didn’t respond well to the interrogation and failed to provide any information regarding the crime. pic.twitter.com/KmqvAa1tFi

The girl who studies in 9th in a school at Morgiri said in the complaint letter that the accused raped her in November after her school, at around 5 pm. The Police immediately arrested the accused after the victim filed the complaint on December 5 and sought his remand for further investigation. According to the Police, the accused didn’t respond well to the interrogation and failed to provide any information regarding the crime.

The Police document reveals that the accused is 26 years old and is a resident of the Pethshivapur area of Patan city. The residents of Patan protested against the accused after the incident came to the fore by closing the shops and shutting the market for 24 hours. The residents have demanded strict action against the accused and justice for the 14-year-old girl from the adivasi community. Earlier this year, a case of a tribal minor was raped and murdered in Maharashtra’s Jawahar taluka.

Meanwhile, the lawyer’s association in the district has also condemned the incident and has decided that no lawyer would take up the case of the accused in the Courtroom. “We’ll help the victim get justice, but no lawyer would take up the case of the accused who abused and raped the minor,” said the president of the association Adv Prashant Mane.

Also, the Hindu community in the district have planned a protest march across the city on December 13 and has demanded strict action against the accused. The accused in the case have been arrested and booked under the relevant sections of the law. Further investigations into the case are underway.

A female Islamic professor claimed that Allah (God) makes it permissible for Muslim men to rape non-Muslim women in order to ‘humiliate’ them.

Muslim Men Can Rape Non-Muslim Women To Teach Them A Lesson, Claims Woman Islamic Professor

A female Islamic professor sparked a controversy when she claimed that Allah (God) makes permissible for Muslim men to rape non-Muslim women in order to ‘humiliate’ them. The astonishing claim was made by Suad Saleh, who is a professor from the renowned Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt during the interview on Al-Hayat TV.

According to The Inquisitr News report, in the video posted by LiveLeak, Saud Saleh said that the rape is allowed during times of “legitimate war” between Muslims and their enemies. “The female prisoners of wars are ‘those whom you own.’ In order to humiliate them, they become the property of the army commander, or of a Muslim, and he can have sex with them just like he has sex with his wives,” Saleh was quoted as saying

While speaking on purchase of slaves from Asian countries for sexual purposes, Saleh said that Allah allows Muslim men to have sexual relations with slave women and that is ‘legitimate’. Saleh suggested that the only time it is acceptable for Muslim men to enslave a woman for sexual purposes is during a ‘legitimate war’ between Muslims and their enemies such as that with Israel.

Saleh further said that enslaving and raping Israeli women is ‘acceptable’ and ‘encouraged’ in Islam. She also condemned Muslim men who are using East Asian women for sexual relationships. She said that only legitimately-owned slaves come from prisoners of war. After Saleh’s interview went viral on social media, Muslim community denounced the claims made by the professor and said that she is propagating a wrong image of Islam.

She is simply revealing what is well known. Plenty of evidence from Quran and Hadith of sex-slavery and rape of non-Muslim women, allowed by Allah.

Will the apologists explain what “women your right hand possesses” means, which Allah makes “lawful”? pic.twitter.com/bL3C3fq9XY

An AC mechanic raped a 5-year-old girl inside a high-rise residential building lift while visiting to service an AC in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra.

⚡️
Raigad, Maharashtra: A 5-yr-old girl sexually assaulted by a 19-yr-old man Mohammad Akhtar Hussain. He took the girl in lift, while she was playing, and sexually assaulted her there. Accused is an AC mechanic and visited the nearby flat. pic.twitter.com/g5jqSnhCvH

The accused, Mohammad Akhtar Mathar Hussain (19), was arrested after the child revealed what had happened to her mother, and other residents gathered to nab Hussain after the girl bravely identified him as he was trying to flee. The incident occurred on Wednesday evening.

“Accused took the girl in a lift, while she was playing, & sexually assaulted her there. Accused is an AC mechanic & was visiting nearby flat. After the girl reached her home, she started vomiting. After being asked by her mother, she revealed the incident & her parents along with neighbours gathered outside eventually nabbing the accused before he could escape, after victim girl identified him,” said Senior Inspector Jeetendra Sonawane, of Taloja MIDC Police.

The accused spotted the child playing in the parking area of the building when he was climbing down the stairs after finishing some AC repair work. He took the girl inside the lift and sexually assaulted her there.

As per a report in Mid-Day,

“The incident took place around 7.30 pm on Wednesday at a high-rise. The girl went to the lift when the accused called her. The police said he raped her in the lift and took her to the 11th floor of the building where he stepped out and fled. The girl went to to her house on the third floor.

“At home, she started crying and vomiting. Her mother asked her what had happened, and she narrated her ordeal. Her mother immediately went downstairs and spoke to the watchman. She asked him whether any unknown person had entered the building premises…

“The watchman claimed he hadn’t seen any such person going inside the building. Hearing the commotion, many residents came downstairs to find out what was going on. The child’s mother told them what had happened and they started to look for the man. The girl suddenly saw the accused trying to sneak out of the building and shouted.

If he gets convicted, his sentence too might be reduced by court because he too was "kind enough" to let a 5 year old live after sexually assaulting her. pic.twitter.com/Qxk2MI8Mj8

“The girl pointed to him saying he misbehaved with her. The man tried to run away but was chased and caught and brought to the Taloja MIDC police station. When he was questioned, he confessed to raping the girl…”

A case has been registered against Hussain under IPC section 376 (rape) and sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. On Friday, a local court remanded him to judicial custody.

It is noteworthy that leading English-language news agency PTI’s report on this heinous crime does not mention the identity of the accused. The same PTI news feed has been carried by leading newspapers like Times Of India, Deccan Herald . Such censorship and downplaying is a standard tactic used by mainstream media as part of their ‘secular’ style-guide, with the objective of maintaining the false narrative of perpetual minority victimhood.

Secular log 😡 pic.twitter.com/iYnzFAJ902

Any crime where a Hindu is a perpetrator and a minority is the victim is highlighted on front pages and deemed worthy of detailed ground zero reporting, even if the victim is a thief who was caught red handed like Tabrez Ansari.

But the most brutal crimes involving Muslim perpetrators receive just passing mention, often buried in the inside pages or accused’s name is with-held like in this case from Navi Mumbai.
