Mobile & CCTV lead to arrest of 2 cons in Kashmir
The duo allegedly stole the mobile of a man from Sagar from a train and they subsequently used it to siphon off Rs 5.5 lakh from the victim's UPI-linked bank account.
SP (Rail) Rahul Kumar Lodha said that the investigation began on May 6, when Tanveer Arif, a resident of Sagar and a footwear shop owner, lodged a complaint at GRP Bhopal, saying that his mobile phone was stolen from the charging point of the AC-3 coach of the Rajdhani Express while travelling from Bhopal to Hazrat Nizamuddin. A case was filed.
A day later, the complainant discovered that the stolen mobile was linked through UPI to his two bank accounts, and an amount of approximately Rs 5.5 lakh was fraudulently withdrawn.
GRP (Bhopal) SHO Zaheer Khan said that given the seriousness of the offence, senior officers directed a specialised team to investigate the case on priority. The team traced the movement of funds across various accounts, revealing that the culprits used gift cards to purchase an iPhone. Using cyber tracking tools, the team traced the iPhone to Pune. When the team nabbed the phone user, he revealed that he purchased the phone from a shop in Bangalore.

The team then reached Bangalore, where the mobile shop owner confirmed the purchase.

SHO Khan said that Faizan was arrested with Rs 1.02 lakh in cash. Shaukat was arrested on July 13 from Bhopal. He admitted to transferring the stolen money to a betting app, and the remaining Rs 2.18 lakh was seized. Around Rs 3.2 lakh in cash, expensive devices, and frozen funds were recovered.

Prohibitory orders likely ahead of PUCSC polls amid rising student violence
1 2 3 4 Chandigarh: With Panjab University likely to hold its PU Campus Students' Council (PUCSC) elections on Sept 4 or 5, the administration has started security preparations much earlier than usual. A meeting between the university and police officials, including the senior superintendent of police, is scheduled for Wednesday to discuss the imposition of prohibitory orders around Aug 15 — a first for PU student elections. The move comes amid concerns over rising student violence on and off campus. Nearly 100 police personnel have already been deployed for security, with three permanent checkpoints established near the Administrative Block, Ankur School, and University Institute of Legal Studies (UILS). Police are checking vehicles, enforcing barricading, and monitoring student movement to restrict entry of outsiders. "This time, deployment is not symbolic. We are actively checking for weapons and other suspicious items, especially during evening hours," said a senior police officer posted on campus. The strict measures follow a series of violent clashes involving student groups in PU and other city colleges. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Just a few days back, two FIRs were registered after rival groups clashed at GGDSD College in Sector 32. On April 28, SOPU factions fought at the PU Student Centre. On April 8, the Dalal camp and Joint Action Committee (JAC) clashed outside Boys Hostel No. 4. On March 28, PU student Aditya Thakur was murdered during a fest on the Sector 25 campus. In another case, on March 22, PUCSC joint secretary and others were booked following an ABVP-related brawl in Sector 15. Vice-chancellor Prof Renu Vig confirmed that the university has called the police meeting to finalise steps for ensuring peace. "Various student organisations have multiple factions and hence infighting. The past six months have seen many student groups clashing with each other," she said. PU authorities have also scheduled a meeting with all student parties for Tuesday. Dean student welfare Prof Amit Chauhan said the administration will also meet student leaders. "The aim is to ensure a peaceful environment during elections. We are concerned about outsider involvement and are considering all options, including prohibitory orders, though the matter is yet to be finalised," he said. Sources said the university is also planning stricter controls on vehicle entry and increased surveillance over the next few weeks. Security staff have been instructed to assist police in enforcing discipline across the campus. Police officials said that some student groups are being monitored for alleged connections to gangsters. "We are keeping tabs on movement, contacts, and past involvement of some leaders with criminal elements. This time we are taking proactive steps," said a police officer. With campaigning expected to begin in mid-August, university authorities say maintaining order is the top priority and students will have to operate within strict boundaries.

The complainant, Pooja P, stated that her husband, who works abroad, returned home on July 19. The couple lives in a joint family, and due to the poor health of her husband's grandmother, Ratna, a woman named Geetha from Karwar was hired as a daytime caregiver. On July 20, Pooja, along with her husband, children, and other relatives, visited the Polali temple. Before leaving, she wore a gold bangle from a jewellery box stored inside a safe locker in a bedroom cupboard. The next day, she returned the bangle to the box, placed it back in the locker, locked it, and kept the key under some papers inside the cupboard shelf. The cupboard door was shut but not locked.

20 years on, GDA may file FIR against officials for 134 extra flats in society
Ghaziabad: GDA will take action against several current and former officials who allowed a private developer to construct and sell 134 extra flats beyond the sanctioned 400 units at Express Garden society in Indirapuram's Vaibhav Khand in 2005. A GDA panel, set up on the direction of the Allahabad High Court, is set to submit its report to the Authority's additional secretary later this week. The high court is due to hear the matter in Sept. Officials, privy to the content of the committee's findings, said the panel has recommended "FIR be filed against the architect, developer and the then GDA officials under whose watch the additional units were constructed".

Last Feb, TOI reported that the internal probe by the GDA had zeroed in on some officials deputed mostly at the development authority's enforcement wing between 2008 and 2012, and notices had been served to them. Developer Pankaj Goyal, meanwhile, said he was not aware of any probe by a GDA-led panel against the project. "We did not tamper with the covered area but subdivided bigger flats to carve out 134 extra units," Goyal said. "We are for regularising the extra units as per the provisions of Building Bylaws, 2016, for which we approached the state govt and got the necessary sanction. This will be presented in the court." In 2005, the GDA approved the layout of Express Garden, allowing the construction of 400 flats on plot number 6 of Vaibhav Khand. The construction was completed between 2008-12.
