The Hindu
Its owner is accused of committing cheating and forgery in the Netherlands
The Enforcement Directorate has attached a resort worth ₹32.57 crore, located on National Highway-1 in Punjab's Phagwara, in connection with a money laundering case registered on the request of the Netherlands Government.
The Cabbana Resort & Spa belongs to Shivlal Pabbi and his associates. He is accused of committing cheating and forgery in the Netherlands in connivance with his Indian associates.
Shivlal Pabbi allegedly ran a “hawala” network, an underground banking system, in the Netherlands. The proceeds of the alleged crime were laundered through Dubai-based Pakistani nationals, who transferred the funds to him and his family members’ Non-Resident External accounts in Phagwara.

Devotees of Lord Ayyappa will now have an opportunity to present their own devotional songs at the hill shrine of Sabarimala, thanks to an initiative by the TDB. The temple management board has decided to include newly composed devotional songs by ordinary devotees in the list of songs played through the public address system at the shrine. At present only devotional songs rendered by renowned singers such as K J Yesudas and Jayavijaya are played at Sabarimala, a Travancore Devaswom Board statement said.
