Man dies of suspected poisoning in Kerala, friend held
Agency: PTI Kochi, Aug 1 (PTI) A 38-year-old man died at Kothamangalam here due to suspected poisoning by his female friend, police said on Friday. The man was admitted to a hospital on July 30 morning and died on July 31 night while undergoing treatment. A police officer said a bottle of a herbicide — paraquat — was found at the man's home. 'His female friend is a suspect in the case. Initially a case of attempted murder under the BNS was registered. With his death, it will have to be changed to a case of murder," the officer said. The 30-year-old woman is currently in police custody. Further steps will be taken after the postmortem of the body, the officer said. Three years ago, in a similar incident, a young woman had killed her male friend by giving him an ayurvedic tonic laced with paraquat at her home in Tamil Nadu's Kanyakumari. The male friend died 11 days later from multiple-organ failure at a medical college in Thiruvananthapuram. In January this year, a sessions court in Neyyattinkara sentenced the 24-year-old woman — Greeshma — to death for the murder of Sharon Raj.

Delhi: ED raids against fake call centres duping US citizens
New Delhi, Aug 1 (PTI) The Enforcement Directorate has conducted searches in Delhi as part of a money laundering probe against a 'fake" call centre which allegedly duped US citizens by pitching sale of 'pirated" software, official sources said Friday. Three premises in Khanpur were raided around 10:30 pm on Thursday and the searches are still going on, they said. The action is being undertaken as per the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Preliminary investigation suggests, the sources said, that a call centre was being operated by some persons who misled citizens in countries like the US by pitching 'fictitious or pirated" software under the name of original software like Microsoft Windows. The agency suspects that funds worth Rs 100 crore have been received as foreign remittances over the past few years (2016-17 to 2024-25).
