Film on Raja Raghuvanshi murder in pipeline; family hopes project will present ‘correct image of Meghalaya'
The film, being directed by SP Nimbawat, is tentatively titled Honeymoon in Shillong.
'We gave our consent for the upcoming film on the murder case. We believe that if we do not bring the story of my brother's murder on the big screen, people will not be able to know who was right and who was wrong?' Raghuvanshi's elder brother, Sachin, told reporters.

Five members of interstate cyber gang held from Delhi
1 2 Prayagraj: Cyber cell police of Prayagraj on Wednesday arrested five members of an interstate gang from Delhi that was allegedly involved in duping gullible people of over Rs 28.62 lakh by putting them under 'digital arrest'. Those arrested were Kaustubh Gupta of Jalaun, Bhanu Saini of Saharanpur, Anurag of Delhi, Shani Jha of Kanpur and Himanshu Kumar of Etawah. Cops also seized seven mobiles, three SUVs, including one Range Rover and one Mercedes Benz, one ATM card, 14 SIMs, one POS machine, and five cheque books from their possession. Five members of the gang were earlier arrested from different parts of the country. Police said the fraudsters contacted the victims under the guise of FedEx International Courier agents and claimed that a parcel going from Mumbai to Iran having drugs has been seized. They further claimed the parcel had their IDs and even terrorists were operating using their IDs. In the next step, a person posing as Crime Branch officer would talk over Skype platform and extort money. During interrogation, fraudsters revealed that they were connected to cyber thugs in countries like Laos, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Thailand etc through Telegram. Their nexus worked in two modes. In the first, cyber thugs sitting in foreign countries contacted people of India through their agents by means like allurements, threats (investment scams, online gaming scams, digital arrest, cheating by using fake WhatsApp DPs of big businessmen/leaders), etc and forced them to get money transferred to the accounts mentioned by them. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These 11 Everyday Foods Might Be the Key to Knee Pain Relief Undo In the next mode, agents would lure people from different states of India to earn money and get them to open their current/savings accounts. After taking the account-related documents (cheque book, ATM, internet banking password, etc), they get the OTP forwarder app installed on the phone having a mobile number registered with the concerned bank, due to which the bank OTP received during the transaction reaches the cyber fraudsters sitting in foreign countries directly. After this, they use the mule account in cyber fraud and make transactions in those accounts, giving their commission to the agents sitting in India through USDT (cryptocurrency). To avoid arrest and keep their identity confidential, the accused used techniques like VPN and IP bounce. During investigation, it came to light that these people were connected to many Telegram groups, through which they supplied account numbers to their foreign accomplices.

ED raids unearth multiple property documents linked to former Vasai-Virar civic chief
Mumbai: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) seized multiple property-related documents linked to the former civic chief of Vasai-Virar City Municipal Corporation (VVMC), Anil Pawar, during searches conducted at 12 premises linked to him on Tuesday and Wednesday. ED sources said Pawar had "created a number of entities in the name of his family members, relatives and benamidars to launder the bribe amount collected." The source said, "The formation of shell entities coincides with his posting as VVCMC commissioner (2022). These entities are primarily engaged in businesses where large amounts of cash are absorbed, such as construction and redevelopment of residential towers, construction of warehouses and others." You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai Investigations by the ED showed an organised cartel of VVCMC officers, including the commissioner, deputy director of town planning, junior engineers, architects, CAs, and liaisoners, all operating in collusion. This cartel is responsible for large-scale illegal construction within VVCMC's jurisdiction. Commissioner VVCMC Anil Pawar, an IAS officer, is accused of orchestrating and sustaining this cartel. The ED investigation showed that after Pawar assumed the role of commissioner of VVCMC, the commission fee was set at Rs 20-25 per sq ft for the commissioner and Rs 10 per sq ft for his junior, Y S Reddy (Deputy Director Town Planning), based on the total project area from the builders. During searches at twelve premises associated with Pawar, the ED seized Rs 1.33 crore in unaccounted cash, along with numerous incriminating documents and devices. These included property documents in the names of relatives and benamidars, as well as cash and cheque deposit slips, among others. The ED sources said digital devices seized during the operations revealed Pawar's close involvement in creating a nexus of VVCMC officials and architects, CAs, and liaisoners. The money laundering case pertains to the illegal construction of 41 residential and commercial buildings on govt and private land under VVCMC's jurisdiction since 2009. This includes a 60-acre tract designated for sewage treatment and dumping facilities. Although Pawar was not the VVCMC chief at the time of construction, he failed to take action against the developments after assuming office, despite receiving complaints. The 41 buildings were recently demolished following a Bombay high court order. Flat buyers lost their money as well as their homes. In May, the ED raided 13 locations in Nalasopara, Vasai, Virar, and Hyderabad, seizing Rs 8.6 crore in unaccounted cash and Rs 23.2 crore worth of jewellery and bullion from the Hyderabad residence of Y S Reddy, deputy director of town planning, VVCMC. A few locals in Vasai burst crackers and distributed sweets late on Tuesday after the news of the ED raid spread across the city. They alleged that since Pawar was the administrator, he took unilateral decisions and corruption peaked during his tenure. "We also had written to the Maharashtra chief minister to conduct an investigation about his wealth and properties," said Sushant Patil of the Bhumiputra Sangathan, Vasai.
