Kolkata:
A week after mobs set fire to the up market Vedic Village resort in Kolkata, its owner Raj Modi has been arrested for harbouring criminals.
Guns and bombs were found on the resorts premises. A land broker, who triggered last Sunday's violence and forced villagers to part with their land for Vedic Village and other projects by Modi's Vedic Realty group, is absconding.
Among Vedic Realty's other projects was an IT city that was being developed in partnership with the West Bengal government.
IT giants Infosys and Wipro had been allotted land there. But with the promoter, Vedic Realty, now coming under a cloud, the government may scrap the IT city project, thus putting the Infosys and Wipro projects into deep freeze.
