HSSC Fake Website Racket Busted, Mastermind Nabbed In Gorakhpur
Last Updated: The fraudulent site mimicked the HSSC portal for CET 2025 registration, collecting fees through QR codes. The Haryana Police arrested the key accused behind a cyber fraud that targeted job seekers through a fake Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) website on Friday, as reported by PTI. According to Additional Chief Secretary (Home), Haryana, Sumita Misra, the main accused—whose name has not yet been disclosed—was operating a counterfeit portal created to resemble the official HSSC site. He was arrested from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh. A total of six people have been taken into custody in connection with the scam—four from Gorakhpur, one from Kurukshetra, and one from Fatehabad, PTI reported. Misra explained that the gang designed a fake website that closely imitated the HSSC portal for CET 2025 registration. Hosted on a third-party domain, the site collected registration fees through QR codes, deceiving unsuspecting candidates into making payments. Once the scam came to light, the HSSC complained to the Sector-5 Police Station in Panchkula. The fraudulent website was promptly removed from Google, and the QR code used for payments was deactivated. As per an official statement, at least 77 candidates were duped, with a total fraud amounting to approximately Rs 22,530. Panchkula DCP Srishti Gupta, who is leading the investigation, urged candidates to use only official government websites ending in . and to avoid transactions through QR codes or UPI IDs. 'Anyone found exploiting the dreams of young aspirants will face strict legal action," she said, adding that suspicious links or payment requests should be immediately reported to the nearest police station or the cybercrime helpline. The investigation is being carried out under the supervision of Haryana Police Commissioner Sibash Kabiraj. Meanwhile, the Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) on Tuesday announced the cancellation of the written examination for Assistant Professor (Hindi) posts, conducted on June 1, 2025. The move comes in response to serious allegations of a paper leak, technical disruptions, and security lapses at several exam centres in Panchkula. According to the Commission, the exam faced significant technical problems, particularly related to the printing and sealing of question papers. However, HPSC clarified that there was no evidence of intentional tampering or an organised paper leak. First Published: June 07, 2025, 16:00 IST

Donald Trump signs executive order on drones; White House exec says aimed to deter attacks by two types: Idiots and ...
US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to prevent the country from drone attacks. Reacting to Trump's latest executive order, a White House executive said that it addresses threats from "idiots and evildoers," as well as potentially more sophisticated adversaries. The order focuses on reducing national security and public safety threats posed by drones within the US. President Trump has also directed a task force to boost the detection and identification of drones in the country. The initiative also aims to address unlawful uses, such as spying and drug smuggling. This is a priority given upcoming events like the FIFA World Cup in 2026 and the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. What White House executives said about Trump signing the EO on drones 'We will increase the enforcement of current laws to deter two types of individuals: evildoers and idiots,' Sebastian Gorka, the senior director of counterterrorism at the White House National Security Council, said to reporters. He claimed that this order is the federal response to foreign-made drones and the protection of US military sites, critical infrastructure and large public events has been insufficient. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo He highglighted that the executive order will support the government's counter-drone capabilities. Gorka also mentioned that the FBI would begin training state and local law enforcement to improve their ability to protect against drone threats. The risks of drone warfare have become a priority after Russian strikes in Ukraine and Ukraine's surprise attacks on aircraft inside Russia, Gorka noted. 'The timing couldn't even be better than it is today, given what we witnessed with the remarkable drone operation that occurred just a few days ago in Russia,' Gorka added. This order will also aim to advance US drone development and expand the technology's commercial applications, including for deliveries and other uses. Meanwhile, talking with the reporters, Michael Kratsios, the head of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, said: 'With large-scale public events such as the Olympics and the World Cup on the horizon, taking action on airspace security has never been timelier.' Apart from this, Trump also signed orders intended to pave the way for a new generation of supersonic jets in the US and to promote the development of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, often referred to as air taxis. "Flying cars are not just for the Jetsons," Kratsios added. What to Expect at WWDC 2025: iOS 19, AI, M4 Macs & More AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

Murshidabad violence: Charge sheet filed by Bengal police against 13 in father-son murder case
KOLKATA: The West Bengal Police have submitted a charge sheet against 13 people in the father-son double murder case in Murshidabad's Zafarabad violence in April, a senior officer said. The murders of Haragobindo Das (74) and his son Chandan Das (40) took place on April 11 during the Dhuliyan-Suti-Shamshergunj communal violence, amid protests over the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025 in the district. The riots left at least three people dead and many injured, besides forcing hundreds to flee their homes. The unrest, which lasted from April 8 to 12, had also caused widespread damage to public and private properties, prompting the Calcutta High Court to order the deployment of Central Armed Forces to restore law and order. "We have submitted the charge sheet before the district court within 55 days of the crime and have named 13 people in it," the official said on Friday. In the aftermath of the violence, the police had arrested over 300 suspected miscreants in connection with over 60 FIRs which were lodged at various police stations in Murshidabad. According to police reports at the Betbona village where the Das family residence was targeted, the attackers broke down the main door, dragged out Chandan Das and Hargobindo Das, and struck them with an axe in the back. A man reportedly stood guard until they died. Reports also noted that in some attacks, the rioters cut off the water supply to prevent fires from being extinguished. Although the details of those named in the charge sheet or the sections slapped on them were not immediately clear, a fact-finding team set up by the high court had named local Trinamool Congress leader Mehboob Alam, former chairman of the Dhuliyan Municipality, to have directed the attack. The team, while submitting its report before the high court on May 21, had also stated "inactivity and absence" of the state police, and added that the men in uniform did not respond to calls from the locals during the violence. The committee documented that "as many as 113 houses were badly affected in the village of Betbona", many of which were set on fire.
