IndiaRF, an investment platform backed by the Piramal group and Bain Capital Credit, is in talks with Ivy Hospital in Punjab to gain a controlling stake in the company. Valued at more than ₹1,000 crore, IndiaRF is looking to buy out over 51% of the hospital chain from the promoters, while still allowing them to retain a significant stake in the business and continue running it. The interested players are being assisted by Una Prime, an investment banking firm, during the due diligence process.

Ivy Hospital was established in 2007 by Dr Kanwaldeep Kaur and Gurtej Singh. Currently, the hospital operates four multi-speciality hospitals across Khanna, Amritsar, Mohali, and Bathinda, with a subsidiary, Ivy Healthcare Infrastructure, managing two multi-speciality hospitals in Nawanshahr and Hoshiarpur. It provides a range of services from cardiology to general surgery across 1,100 beds. In the financial year 2021-22, Ivy Healthcare Group clocked in revenues of ₹367.57 crore and reported a net profit of ₹47.53 crore.

IndiaRF is a fund aimed at distressed and special situation investments within the Indian market. It has a portfolio spanning across multiple industries—from Archean Chemical and Setco Automotive to Impresario Entertainment and Primacy Industries. Its main goal is to turn around specific enterprises through recapitalization.

Gurtej Singh, one of the founders of Ivy Hospital, expressed that there are talks happening with several PE (private equity) funds to explore and capitalize on the opportunities. According to him, it has been a successful 15 years since the hospital chain’s inception and it has become one of the leading healthcare providers in the region.

There is no doubt that the partnership between the two entities will bring in fruitful gains for Ivy Hospital and help increase its presence in the market. IndiaRF will benefit from having a strategic stake in the fast-growing healthcare industry that is still in the process of reviving from the pandemic. It is likely that the discussions may amount to a successful deal with a win-win situation in the near future.

The Delhi Police on Friday arrested four men for operating two ‘gay sextortion gangs’ in south east Delhi who used a popular online dating app, Grindr, to trap their victims. The suspects have been identified as Arun Kumar alias Chotu (22), Vishal Kohli (24), Rajesh Kumar (42) and Anuj alias Banda (21).

These predators employed a new modus operandi, creating fake profiles on the Grindr app and then engaging in friendly conversations with their victims. They lured their unsuspecting marks into compromising situations and filmed them, then using the footage to threaten them with exposure by sharing it with friends and family.

The first incident involved the victim contacting an individual named Rahul on Grindr. Rahul arranged a meeting at Vinobapuri Metro Station, however when the victim arrived two individuals burst in and recorded a video of him. The criminals then demanded two lakh rupees to keep the video a secret. Fearing retribution, the victim complied and paid using the ‘Phonepe’ app.

In the second incident, the victim encountered a man called Nikhil on Grindr. They agreed to meet at Mohan Estate Metro station, however when the victim arrived he was met by three people wielding sticks and knives. The perpetrators then extorted Rs. 33,000 through the Paytm platform.

Using the information obtained from both cases, the police were able to successfully apprehend Arun, Vishal and Rajesh from the Loni area of Ghaziabad, and Anuj from Shahbad Dairy. Investigations into both cases are ongoing to uncover more information about the gangs and to track down the remaining perpetrators.

The arrest has highlighted the reality of sextortion and how sex offenders can use technology and online spaces to gain access to unsuspecting victims. This case also serves to remind us why it is so important to stay vigilant when using online platforms, be aware of potential traps, and always try to maintain a strong online presence.

The company mentioned in this article is Phonepe, an Indian digital payments platform which offers safe and secure mobile payment services. Founded in 2015, the firm is supported by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and operates through UPI (Unified Payment Interface).

The individual mentioned in this article is Rajesh Deo, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast). Rajesh Deo has been working in the Delhi Police Force since 1991 and has had numerous successes in nabbing criminals during his tenure. He has worked on some of the most high-profile cases in the city and is remembered for his dedication and determination to rid the streets of Delhi of criminal activity.

Holding back Recommendations to Curb Student Suicides in Bhopal’s Vidhan Sabha

Holding back Recommendations to Curb Student Suicides in Bhopal’s Vidhan Sabha

Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh has seen a consistent number of students committing suicide after the announcement of results of board examination for classes 10 and 12th. In 2016, this prompted the Chief Minister of the state, Shivraj Singh Chouhan to form a committee in the Vidhan Sabha to look for solutions to this problem. After gathering data from a variety of sources such as psychologists, educationists, media persons, teachers, coaching class operators, the committee submitted its report in March 2017.

The report recommended some drastic changes like mandatory counseling of students at each and every academic level, appointing of male and female counselors in each school, prevention of the assignment of any other work other than teaching the teachers, appointing a teacher guardian for each group of 30 to 35 students, compulsory participation by the students in extra-curricular activities, making Yoga and meditation a separate mandatory subject for schools, awarding extra points to students excelling in such activities, providing coaching class operators with a law to regulate their practices, as well as providing teachers with the necessary training in student psychology.

Unfortunately, six years later, these suggestions have been implemented partially or have not been implemented at all. Some principals have voluntarily chosen to follow a couple of suggestions. Meanwhile, the MPBSE Helpline has received almost 5000 calls from students since announcement of class 10th and 12th results on Thursday, the majority of which dealt with related questions and issues.

Though the Rajya Shiksha Kendra spokesman Amitabh Anuragi claims that these recommendations were implemented to some degree, with schemes such as Anugoonj and Ruk Jana Nahi aimed at curbing student suicides, there is still a need to make the arbitrary implementation of such suggestions, mandatory for the welfare of students. It is also crucial to ensure that the provided solutions are delivered by the authorities effectively, without any bias.
