Meet the man, a fraudster who owns 150 cars, 3,078 bank accounts, 700 acres land and much more

In what could be termed as the biggest revelation on an Indian businessman who has been named as a fraudster. As per an Economic Times report, Rose Valley Group's CMD Gautam Kundu has a total of 700 acres land spread across 12 states, 23 hotels, 150-odd cars, including a dozen imported luxury vehicles, 900 branch offices and 3,078 bank accounts.

The businesses are spread across the nation; and include states like West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar, Assam, Punjab, Delhi, Rajasthan, MP, Tripura, Rajasthan, Jharkhand and Andhra Pradesh.

The directorate, however, has started listing the properties and assets but investigators have alleged possibility of more possessions. They claim that the quantum of land Kundu owns could be over 1,000 acres.

The group, in the past few years, has gained a wealth of Rs 15,400 crore- six times higher than what the redundant Saradha group collected from people in Bengal, Bihar and Odisha.

The investigating agency, ED which is now looking into the complaints against the group, has accessed the software and bank data of the company. The bank details of the firm revealed that the group returned only Rs 900 crore to its investors on maturity. Yogesh Gupta, special director, ED, east confirmed to ET that it has filed a charge sheet in the matter.

The list of Kundu's property, prepared by the investigating company claims that Kundu owns 15 acres in Assam, 10 acres in Madhya Pradesh, 110 acres in Tripura and around 100 acres in West Bengal. Also, it says that he invested in East Midnapore, West Midnapore, Burdwan, Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri , Howrah, Bankura, North and South 24 Paraganas districts.

In East Midnapore alone, he has 12 plots. The group had also claimed to have bought property in Kolkata, Port Blair, North Lakhimpur, Ranchi, Durgapur, Siliguri, Mondarmani, Lataguri, Falakata, Midnapore, Tarapith, Old Digha, Silchar, Haridwar, Goa, Gaya, Jaipur and New Delhi.

The group has 900 branches spread over West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar, Assam, Punjab, Delhi and Andhra Pradesh.

Mars soil successfully grow vegetables

A successful experiment has been carried out by scientists at Wageningen University, under lead scientist Dr Wieger Wamelink to replicate the soil conditions found on planet Mars and grow vegetables. The results have been good and according to Dr Wamelink, the yields came surprisingly close to those grown in normal compost. The species that were grown were tomato, rye, radish, pea, leek, spinach, rocket, cress, quinoa, and chives and it appears that six of these were successfully harvested. 


If all of this reminds readers that something similar took place in the sci-fi movie The Martian, they would be correct as we are reminded that in the movie, astronaut Mark Warney, who was played by Matt Damon, also grew vegetables when he became stranded on the Red Planet. This led the researchers to try to emulate him, which they have done.

As Dr Wamelink pointed out, Mars simulated soil is fine as long as it’s prepared and well-watered, much better than moon soil, and whilst crops grew in this, they did only half as well. The project was the second attempt to try to see what kind of gardening could be done by any future settlers on the moon and Mars. The soils used in the experiments were supplied to the Netherlands by the American space agency NASA; these were designed to be as close as it is possible to the real thing and were obtained from a Hawaiian volcano for the “Martian” style and the “lunar” soil came from the Arizona desert.

Naturally the experiment could not simulate exactly the growing conditions on Mars, growing on the surface would be virtually impossible because the planet is constantly being bombarded by energetic particles, making it impossible. They could however be grown in underground rooms to protect the plants from the hostile environment, including cosmic radiation.

In case anyone was wondering, unlike astronaut Mark Warney, the researchers did not eat their vegetables, due as Dr Wamelink explained, the soils containing heavy metals like lead, arsenic and mercury and also a lot of iron.

It is observed that many of the AdSense account holder having approved account, face it’s disapproval problem by Google after some days, due to some invalid activities. In this article I have discussed some of the reasons by which it can be disapproved by Google team, and some of the tips and measures to protect your AdSense account.

About AdSense
Almost we all are familiar with the most popular search engine – Google, and its services. Google AdSense is also a one of the most important and famous service by Google. Google company serve the advertisements and displays the ads of companies to promote the product or service of that company, and under an agreement it charges a fixed amount from the owner of the brand/legal representative of advertising relations/ or advertiser of the product/service, and then pays a fixed amount to the host/owner of the website/blog/ or page on the internet for serving those ads on his/her site/page, after deducting its profit and costs. As being an advertising company too, Google provides this service worldwide, and helps the companies to promote their products as well as helps the users to get in touch with the companies for buying/selling of the product and services or involving in their activities of business.

Why my AdSense disapproved?

This question is the most common and frequent amongst the users of AdSense account holder who's account get disapproved by Google team after a successful approval of account.
Here are some of the reasons by which your AdSense account may disapprove;

  1.     Accidental click on ads displayed Google on our own page of site/blog can be most common reasons for disapproval of it. Some time when we visit our own page to read or adjust any content, and by mistake we click on any ads, this will considered as an accidental click by user itself and may tend to disapproval of our account. Because Google has a very advance technology and systems, and they track the click very easily.
  2.     Invalid clicks: There are some software in the market which is being used by some fraudsters and people having criminal background, especially in cyber world, or some hackers. They use this software and set some site for virtual visit and click, this tends to a disapproval of our account.
  3.     Click exchange is also a reason which may cause disapproval of our account. This trend is most popular in western countries, and have some impact in India too, many of the users exchange their click with their friends/colleagues or known ones in order to increase their revenue. But this may cause to a problem to the user, because Google is not a small company, it has vast system network which is very advance, and has a very sharp detection on the account holder's activities from the same IP address on which users generally operated their accounts.
  4.     Non genuine activities: Sometime Google also disapprove our account for some non genuine activities like suddenly recording excessive clicks on the ads of a particular account holder in a normal day on the basis of their past average records.
  5.     Excessive promotion of site/blog to some non relevant sites or blogs, like adult sites and other sites on which illegal activities are done are also a big reason for disapproval of one's account. Users generally promote their sites/blogs excessively in order to maximize their revenue in a very short span of time, but unfortunately they lose their account. Being patience is the one and only criteria to avoid this issue.
