Drone found near India-Bangladesh border in Assam: Police
A drone was recovered near the India-Bangladesh border on Wednesday evening in Assam's Sribhumi district, police said.
Officials said that the drone was spotted on the roof of a residence at Bipin Paul Road of the Chorakuri area in the district on Wednesday.
'According to our initial investigation, it looks like this drone has come from the other side of the border,' the superintendent of police (SP), Sribhumi, Partha Pratim Das told HT on Thursday.
He confirmed that the drone was made in China, but no memory card was installed in it.
'We are examining it and also investigating the matter further,' he added.
The drone was found at a time when security agencies were conducting a civil defence mock drill in different parts of Assam.
The Border Security Force (BSF) officials, however, denied the possibility of the drone being sent from Bangladesh's side.

A senior officer on Thursday told HT that the drone was found at a distance of 400 meters from the border fence and the flying capacity of it is much lower.
'This drone can fly up to 100 feet, and it was recovered from 400 meters from the fence on the Indian side. So, it is impossible that someone from the other side of the border would send it,' he said.

Indian-origin doctor Mona Ghosh sentenced to 10 years in prison in US for $2.4 million medical fraud
Dr Mona Ghosh sentenced to 10 years in prison in the US for medical fraud. Indian-American physician Dr Moa Ghosh (OB-GYN) who pleaded guilty last year to the fraud charges has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for the $2.4 million medical fraud that she committed through her medical office. The 52-year-old submitted fraudulent claims to insurers for procedures which were not medically necessary, including endometrial ablations and biopsies, ultrasounds, vaccinations, laboratory blood tests, and tests for sexually transmitted diseases. The practice went on from 2018 to 2022. Ghosh inflated the length and complexity of in-office and telemedicine visits and submitted claims using billing codes for which the visits did not qualify in order to seek higher reimbursement rates. Ghosh prepared false patient medical records to support the fraudulent reimbursement claims. 'When physicians submit fraudulent claims to federal health care programs, they divert taxpayer-funded resources away from those who truly need them,' said US Attorney Boutros. 'Dr Ghosh's fraud scheme was particularly egregious because she endangered the health of her patients by performing unnecessary medical procedures, including procedures that severely limited some patients' ability to have children in the future. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo We applaud the victims' strength to come forward and confront this defendant.

'Dr Ghosh spent years traumatizing patients, lying to insurers, and stealing taxpayer money to feed her greed,' said FBI SAC DePodesta. 'The depraved conduct uncovered in this case represents an extreme betrayal of trust toward patients who were simply seeking care and integrity from their doctor. The FBI will continue to aggressively pursue and hold accountable any medical professional who seeks to harm patients for their personal enrichment. ' The convicted doctor has been ordered to pay approximately $1.5 million in restitution.

On May 22, the victim received a WhatsApp message from a UK number, claiming to be a friend of his friend who is studying in London. 'When the victim tried calling his friend, the call did not go through. Later, the fraudster called and mimicked the friend's voice, saying he was flying to Hyderabad from London,' said an officer from the Hyderabad Cyber Crimes police. The fraudster called again claiming he had been detained at Delhi airport by Income Tax officials over foreign currency issues. The victim then received another call, this time from an Indian number. The caller claimed to be an Income Tax officer and said the victim's friend needed to pay ₹55,500 as clearance and tax charges. A fake certificate supposedly signed by officials from Indian Customs and Tax Services was shared to make the demand look legitimate.
