Objectionable photos found in phone of Mathura youth arrested over 'provocative' online post
'Objectionable photos and videos allegedly involving Hindu women have been found in the mobile phone of a Muslim youth arrested for sharing a 'provocative' message on social media on Eid,' police said.
They said the youth allegedly lured the women into relationships by pretending to be a Hindu, filmed them in compromising situations and circulated the content online.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Shlok Kumar on Wednesday (June 11, 2025) said he has formed a special team to investigate the matter, which has now taken a serious turn following the recovery of digital evidence.
According to police, Imran, a resident of Machhi Mandi in the Kotwali area in Mathura and an autorickshaw driver, was taken into custody on Sunday (June 8, 2025) after local Hindu leaders complained about a communal and inflammatory social media post made by him on Eid.
Following his arrest, Hindu groups alleged that Imran was involved in "love jihad" — a coinage used by right-wing activists to refer to the alleged campaign of Muslims forcing Hindu girls to convert in the guise of love.
'Based on these allegations, Imran's mobile phone was sent to the cyber headquarters for forensic analysis,' police said.
"Initial investigation revealed that he had written on one of his social media display pictures, 'I have more girlfriends than most people's age'. We have also found photos and videos of Hindu women in compromising situations on his mobile phone," SSP Kumar said.
He said Imran used fake online identities to trap the women and later shared the obscene material on various platforms. 'Emails have been sent to social media companies requesting dossiers of all of Imran's accounts along with associated URLs,' he said.
"Based on phone records, we are trying to identify the victims and encourage them to come forward. Their identities will be kept strictly confidential and if required, counselling will be offered," the SSP said.
Imran was allegedly active on multiple platforms, including WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram. Police have sought detailed activity logs of the past three years from these companies as part of their investigation.

Assam govt orders shoot-on-sight order to quell communal tension in Dhubri
1 2 Guwahati: Faced with communal tension in border town Dhubri and provocative posters on integration of Dhubri district with Bangladesh appearing, the Assam govt on Friday issued shoot-at- sight orders. The govt is also rushing in Rapid Action Force (RAF) and CRPF personnel in the district after mob clashes ensued over objectionable objects being found near a place of worship. Chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma who visited the district on Friday said that at least three posters were retrieved by police at Dhubri which were pasted at various locations by one organization "Nabin Bangla." "Since last one week the law and order at Dhubri has been challenging. A communal group is trying to create disturbances which the government will not tolerate," Sarma said. Sarma later posted on X, "I visited Dhubri and directed law enforcement officers to follow zero tolerance against elements who desecrate….." places of worship. "In Dhubri, a particular group has become active with the intent to damage our temples. We have issued SHOOT AT SIGHT ORDERS," Himanta wrote. A day after Bakrid on June 7, an animal part was found in front of a place of worship, following which both Hindus and Muslims appealed for peace and harmony. The next day again the incident was repeated, and stones were thrown at night, Sarma added. Sarma said that for Bakrid, thousands of cattle were brought from West Bengal by a 'new beef mafia' in Dhubri. "I have ordered an inquiry into this. I have directed the authorities to arrest who has started this cattle trade,' Sarma said. He said that next year, he will be present at Dhubri on the day of Eid and stay the next day as well. "We are fully committed to ensure enforcement of law and order in the district and defeat all communal forces," he added. Dhubri district has the highest Muslim population in the entire state constituting 90 percent of the district's total population, majority of whom are believed to be of Bangladeshi origin. It has become a flashpoint for Assam's socio-political dynamics. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

CBI arrests Mumbai resident in Operation Chakra-V, conducts multi-state raids in 10 locations
New Delhi [India] June 13 (ANI): In a crackdown on cyber financial crimes, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted multi-state searches under Operation Chakra-V, targeting cyber-enabled financial crimes. The CBI carried out extensive searches at 10 locations across Delhi, Hisar, Lucknow, Mumbai, Pune, and Nashik in connection with a cyber-enabled organised investment fraud case. The CBI has also arrested one accused, a resident of Kalyan, Mumbai, after his involvement surfaced in the fraud. The accused was actively involved in supplying pre-activated SIM cards and mule bank accounts to cybercriminal networks, thereby enabling and sustaining their illegal operations. Substantial incriminating material was recovered from his possession during the searches. The case pertains to a well-orchestrated fraud where unsuspecting individuals were cheated through a fraudulent mobile application and WhatsApp groups. The perpetrators deceitfully lured innocent investors by promising shares of reputed listed companies at discounted rates. Once the victims invested their hard-earned money, the accused misappropriated the funds, causing significant financial loss to the public. During the coordinated searches, the CBI seized incriminating digital and documentary evidence from the premises of the accused persons, exposing the intricate modus operandi employed to dupe innocent investors. Operation Chakra-V underscores the CBI's unwavering commitment to dismantling cybercrime syndicates and infrastructure supporting the commission of such offences. Investigation is continuing. (ANI)

Shoot-at-sight order at Assam border amid communal unrest
Himanta said police found at least three provocative posters put up by a group identified as Nabin Bangla at different locations there GUWAHATI: The Assam government on Friday issued a shoot-at-sight order in the India-Bangladesh border town of Dhubri after dusk to rein in what CM Himanta Biswa Sarma described as "a communal group" fomenting trouble over the past week. The immediate trigger for the directive to enforcement agencies, including Rapid Action Force and CRPF reinforcements, was a purported poster campaign by the group for "Dhubri's integration with Bangladesh". The town has been on the edge for several days following mob violence over offal being found near a place of worship. CM, who was in Dhubri district to take stock, said police found at least three provocative posters put up by a group identified as Nabin Bangla at different locations there. "Since the last one week, maintaining law and order in Dhubri has been challenging. A communal group is trying to create disturbances, which the government won't tolerate," Sarma said. He later wrote on X, "I directed law enforcement officers to follow (a policy of) zero tolerance against elements who desecrate places of Dhubri, a particular group has become active with the intent to damage our temples. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Undo We have issued SHOOT AT SIGHT orders." Communal tension gripped Dhubri on June 7, a day after Eid, prompting community leaders on either side to appeal for peace. The next day, offal was allegedly dumped at another location, leading to stone-pelting at night, Sarma said. CM said a large herd of cattle illegally brought to Dhubri from Bengal by a "new beef mafia" was another reason for the disturbances. "I have ordered an inquiry into this. I have directed the authorities to arrest whoever has started this cattle trade." Sarma declared that he would camp in Dhubri for two days on Eid next year to ensure something like this didn't recur. "We are fully committed to ensure enforcement of law and order in the district and defeat all communal forces," he said. CM alleged last week that beef had been "weaponised" in the state. Dhubri has the highest Muslim population among all districts of Assam, constituting 90% of the demography. Suspicions about a large section of them being of Bangladeshi origin make the issue a socio-political hot potato.
