Family of nine from Myanmar booked for illegally staying in Unnao, procuring Aadhaar
Kanpur: The Unnao police on Friday lodged an FIR against Myanmar national Mohd Sahil and his eight family members for staying illegally in India and violating the provisions of the Immigration and Foreigners Act.
As per the complaint, lodged by Balu Ghat outpost in-charge Gajendra Singh, Sahil, his siblings Anwar, Habibullah, and Hashmat, father Mohd Yahya, mother Rahima Begum, sister Shenuara Begum, brother-in-law Junaid, wife Ajida, and daughter-in-law Noor Qaida have been residing in Unnao's Shuklaganj area for eight years since leaving Myanmar, without valid documentation.
They have also been booked for allegedly procuring Aadhaar card, with help from a local corporator, who later denied issuing any certificate endorsing their nationality.
The investigating team have now requested details from the Aadhaar-issuing authority regarding certification.
"We have contacted the Lucknow Centre. If we get to know about any link of others in it, they will be included in the investigation," said Kotwali inspector-in-charge Pramod Kumar Mishra.
In view of the allegation, the local police have been asked to keep an eye on the family.
The Unnao police, which visited the family on Thursday, questioned the family and documented their statements.

When misused, law becomes sword instead of shield: Karnataka high court
Bengaluru: The high court has quashed the proceedings in a five-year-old criminal case filed against a real estate developer by a business partner under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. "The courts must remain vigilant against the weaponisation of criminal law for settling civil disputes. The law, when misused, ceases to be a shield and becomes a sword. The complainant, to wreak vengeance or arm-twist the petitioner over a financial dispute, made use of the criminal justice system," Justice M Nagaprasanna stated while quashing the case against Vilas Bhormalji Oswal. Vilas, from Solapur, Maharashtra, established a partnership with Somashekara from Bengaluru and others for purchasing and developing agricultural land. Disputes arose in 2020 when Vilas refused to sign certain documents, hampering the development projects. Somashekara claimed that during a Dec 2020 meeting in a playground in Jayanagar, Vilas threatened him and made caste-based remarks. A complaint was filed with the Directorate of Civil Rights Enforcement in April 2021. Three years later, police registered an FIR, followed by a chargesheet. Vilas contested the chargesheet and summons in the high court, highlighting significant delays throughout the case. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en Libertad (ver precio) Verisure Undo He maintained that he said "do not show your caste mindset" during their disagreement. While Somashekara argued that Vilas knew his scheduled caste status and made caste-specific insults, Justice Nagaprasanna found no evidence of casteist slurs in the initial complaint. The judge noted that witness statements on the Dec 2020 incident were recorded only in March 2024, with the case registered in April 2024. The court found significant discrepancies between the original complaint and the chargesheet, particularly regarding caste-related allegations. "The subject complaint is a blade of vengeance, cloaked in the garb of law. A criminal trial, if permitted to proceed on the glaring facts, would amount to an egregious abuse of legal machinery and would undoubtedly result in patent injustice," the judge observed while quashing the proceedings against Vilas.

Railways suspends 2.5 crore user IDs suspected of fraudulent ticket booking
The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has deactivated 2.5 crore suspect user IDs as part of a digital overhaul of its ticketing infrastructure, officials said on Wednesday (June 4, 2025). 'Through the deployment of anti-bot systems and integration with a leading Content Delivery Network (CDN) service provider, the Railways has curbed unauthorised automated bookings by unscrupulous agents and improved the access of the website to the genuine users,' a senior Railway official said. '131 complaints of the suspicious users have been lodged with the cyber crime cell in the last four months.'

Users not authenticated via Aadhaar can book opening Advance Reservation Period (ARP), Tatkal, or Premium Tatkal tickets only three days after registration, while Aadhaar-verified users can book all tickets without delay. On May 7, IRCTC's Chairman and Managing Director wrote to the Railway Board seeking approval to implement the plan of allowing only Aadhaar/PAN-authenticated users to book opening Advance Reservation Period and Tatkal tickets during the first ten minutes. Boosting performance After upgrading the ticketing infrastructure, the Railways noticed that the average daily user logins increased from 69.08 lakh in the 2023–24 financial year to 82.57 lakh in 2024–25, registering a 19.5% rise. Average daily ticket bookings grew 11.85% in the same period, from 12.41 lakh in 2023-24 to 13.88 lakh in 2024-25. 'E-Ticketing now accounts for 86.38% of total reserved ticket bookings, which is a scale up of 3.7% from 82.68% in 2023-24,' the official said. Also read: IRCTC, IRFC upgraded to Navratna status, complements Railway Minister Officials said that the 'attempt versus booking ratio' has increased from 43.06% to 62.22% in the period from October 2024 to May 2025.
