Focus on ayah ID checks after series of home thefts in Kolkata
Kolkata: Kolkata and Bidhannagar Police have issued separate advisories, urging residents to verify the identity and background of domestic workers, especially those hired through ayah centres. This comes in response to a series of thefts and other criminal cases, involving domestic helps in recent months. The advisories stress that employers must collect and retain govt-issued identification from domestic helps, submit their details to the local police stations, and conduct independent background verification before employment. Residents are also advised to maintain CCTV surveillance, keep an inventory of valuables, and limit access to personal and sensitive areas of the house.

Another officer in Bidhannagar Commissionerate said they had urged highrises in Salt Lake and New Town to maintain detailed visitor and staff registers and require clearance from police for all newly-hired domestic workers and caregivers. 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 On June 24, gold ornaments worth 8 lakh were stolen from a house in Beleghata, allegedly by a domestic help. In another incident, an ayah was arrested for fleeing with gold jewellery from a housing complex off EM Bypass. Another 'trusted' caregiver appointed to care for an elderly and ailing resident at a housing complex in Baguiati was arrested three months ago for allegedly stealing gold ornaments and cash worth approximately four lakh from the family she was working for the last two-and-a-half years. Cops said most victims did not inform their local police station before employing domestic help, and some were unaware of verification procedures. Many of the accused were hired through ayah centres without formal verification, sources said. "These centres often do not maintain records or perform background checks, making it difficult to trace individuals," said an officer. KP also issued a set of safety recommendations for residents hiring domestic help, urging employers to collect photo identification and address proof, from prospective hires and submit their details at the local police station for verification. Cops also advised to install CCTV cameras. On Sunday, a maid was arrested for stealing two diamond rings worth Rs 8 lakh from a businessman's home in Thakurpukur. The complainant, Simmi Yasmin, alleged that the accused stole the rings when she was bathing her kids. Cops recovered the stolen ring from her possession. tnn

2 conmen arrested from Tamil Nadu for duping salt lake sisters in investment fraud
KOLKATA: Two conmen were arrested from Tamil Nadu in connection with an investment fraud where a Salt Lake-based woman was duped of Rs 1.3 crores in February this year. According to the complaint lodged at the cyber crime police station, Sreyoshi Pal (38), a resident of FE Block in Salt Lake, and her elder sister Sayantani Chakraborty were duped by the conmen over a period of days. According to the FIR, the fraud began in October 2024, when Pal came into contact with one "Ali Vikas" via WhatsApp, who introduced her to a platform called Stonewall Capital for trading and wealth management. After initially investing Rs 9.9 lakhs, Pal received small returns that encouraged her to recommend the platform to her sister. Sayantani Chakraborty later transferred around Rs 1.2 crore across 12 transactions. When the fraudster demanded more money, the sisters realised they were cheated. The sisters also submitted their grievances on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal, which led to the registration of the case.
