Tulu Mondal faces property seizure if he skips surrender deadline
A man named Tulu Mondal is in big trouble with the police.
He is accused of doing illegal mining and not paying taxes.
He ran away and the police cannot find him.
A court in the town of Suri has told him to come to court by September 14.
If he does not come, the court will call him a "proclaimed offender."
That means the police can take away his houses and other property.
The police have already searched 20 places connected to him and his family.
They found a lot of cash, gold, and cars during the searches.
Six people linked to him have been arrested.
The police think he and his family went to Turkey through Dubai.
The Suri court in Bengal ordered fugitive stone mining accused Tulu Mondal to surrender in person by 10:30 AM on September 14.
If Mondal fails to appear, he will be declared a "proclaimed offender" and his properties will be confiscated.
Mondal's lawyer has moved to Calcutta High Court seeking interim bail to avoid imminent arrest by Birbhum police.
Police raided 20 locations linked to Mondal, his associates, and relatives across Birbhum and East Burdwan, seizing cash, gold, and vehicles.
Six persons, including Mondal's relative Minar Mondal, have been arrested; police suspect Mondal and his family fled to Turkey via Dubai before the May 4 election results.
