After receiving the complain of the fraud Mumbai Police acted quickly and managed to get back Rs 1.29 crore. The Threat of "Digital Arrest" and Legal Intimidation The scam happened between Monday and Wednesday. The fraudsters first called her on WhatsApp, acting as officials from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). They scared her by saying there were suspicious money transactions from her bank account. Then, another person, pretending to be a policeman, told her she was connected to a businessman under investigation for fraud and threatened her with something called a "digital arrest"—basically saying she would be cut off digitally and face legal trouble if she didn't cooperate. Coercion Through Fear: The scammers didn't stop there. They made a video call, this time pretending to be a judge, and convinced her that transferring money was the only way to avoid arrest. Out of fear, the woman transferred a total of Rs 2.89 crore to the accounts they gave her, all within three days. Timely Intervention: Cyber Police Freeze Rs 1.29 Crore After realising she had been tricked, she quickly called the 1930 cyber helpline, which is set up to help cybercrime victims.

'Baby, We're Ordering That Pill': 15-Year-Old Girl's Secret Chats Shock Brother, Reddit Reacts
Last Updated: A teen's private WhatsApp chat left open on a laptop led her brother to discover a troubling relationship, prompting concerns about family responsibility and youth vulnerability The responsibility of raising and guiding children does not rest solely on parents but extends to every member of the family. A supportive and open home environment is vital to help young people navigate the complexities of adolescence. However, not all feel safe enough to share their struggles. In today's digital age, many youths are increasingly influenced by external forces – peers, online communities, or manipulative individuals – who may lead them astray. As a result, instead of turning to their families, some choose secrecy, hiding important aspects of their lives out of fear, confusion, or misplaced trust. In a recent case, a young man uncovered disturbing information about his sister after she inadvertently left her WhatsApp account logged in on his laptop. Shocked by what he read, he turned to social media to share his experience. Disturbing Details Shared Online A Reddit user, posting under the handle @babidi_bada_boom-500 in the group r/indiasocial, detailed a harrowing experience involving his 15-year-old sister. Accompanying the post was an image of the WhatsApp interface, revealing the source of his distress. The user explained that his sister had accessed WhatsApp on his laptop and failed to log out. Upon opening it, he found private messages, presumably from her boyfriend, that left him stunned. 'I feel my family has failed, I have failed as a brother, and my parents have failed in raising my sister. I cannot describe the pain I feel after seeing this," he wrote. The user stated that he recognised the name of the boy his sister had been speaking to, someone he had previously warned to stay away due to inappropriate behaviour. He was particularly distressed to find the boy persuading his sister to convert to Christianity and noted that his sister appeared complicit in the exchange. The WhatsApp conversation also alluded to the boy procuring medication, implying the couple may have engaged in unprotected sexual activity. While uncertain about the exact nature of the medicine, the brother was deeply troubled and turned to the online community for guidance on how to proceed. First Published: June 06, 2025, 14:27 IST

Case filed for forging letter of minister's OSD
Hyderabad: The Central Crime Station (CCS) has registered a case following the discovery of a forged official letter from the office of the minister for information technology, industries and legislative affairs D Sridhar Babu. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The incident came to light after the minister's officer on special duty (OSD) U Raghu Ram Sharma received a WhatsApp message from an acquaintance on May 10, containing a suspicious letter purportedly signed by him. The forged document, dated April 2, 2025,was related to a cyber security project proposal from an Ahmedabad-based cyber security company. Investigation from the minister's office revealed several discrepancies. The letter used an outdated letterhead format that was discontinued on March 26, and the letter number 4145 was previously used in Oct last year. Official records show that letters issued on April 2, 2025, began with number 7059. "This act not only tarnishes personal and professional reputations but also undermines the integrity of the minister's office," stated Sharma in his complaint. The case, initially registered at Saifabad police station under various sections of the law, was transferred to the CCS and re-registered on June 3 under sections 318(4) (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property), 336(3) (forgery for purpose of cheating), 337 (forgery of record of court or of public register etc), 340(2) (using as genuine a forged document or electronic record) of the BNS.
