Farmer alleges theft of cash and gold from house
The incident occurred at the house of C H Krishnaiah, a farmer from Mamidipally. According to Nandigama police, on July 27, when Krishnaiah's family opened the almirah, they realised the theft. "Gold jewellery weighing about 16 tola and Rs 15 lakh cash went missing," Krishnaiah alleged in his complaint.
During the preliminary enquiry, Krishnaiah told police that about two years ago, he sold some agricultural land in Mahadevpur village of Kondurgu mandal in Ranga Reddy district and got some money.
"Some jewellery was purchased with the proceeds of the sale, and along with that, the remaining cash was kept aside in the almirah for my daughter's wedding in the future," the complainant said.

The almirah lock was also intact. We received the complaint on Friday and started an investigation," Nandigama police said.

Sharing your credit card for rewards? It could trigger a tax headache
Do you let friends use your credit card for big purchases, or swipe it for others to earn cashback and reward points? It may sound like a harmless way to make some extra money, but tax experts caution that it can put you on the Income Tax Department's radar. That's exactly the situation a Reddit user claims to be in. Identifying himself as a student with no job or business, he revealed spending nearly Rs 24 lakh on a credit card in a single year, most of it by letting friends use the card in exchange for cashback and reward points. The massive spend now shows up in his Annual Information Statement (AIS) and Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS), leaving him worried about possible tax notices. Why this is a red flag for tax authorities Under the Income-Tax Act, banks must report credit card payments exceeding Rs 10 lakh a year as Specified Financial Transactions (SFT). 'In this case, the expenses are not commensurate with the student's declared income, which is nil. The department could treat the funds used to pay the bills as unexplained income under Section 69 and impose heavy penalties,' said Ritika Nayyar, partner, Singhania & Co. Nayyar added that while cashback on personal expenses is usually treated as a discount, if total annual cashback exceeds Rs 50,000, it may be taxed as a gift under 'Income from Other Sources'. For simple income sources, ITR-1 could apply, but the choice of form depends on the individual's income profile. Scrutiny triggers and legal exposure 'The transaction qualifies as high-value under Section 285BA read with Rule 114E,' said Saumya, associate, PSL Advocates & Solicitors. 'Tax officers look for mismatches between repayment sources and declared income, multiple cards splitting large spends, high foreign transactions, or signs of money rotation,' she added She warned that letting friends use a credit card violates bank terms and could lead to liability under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) or even cheating provisions under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Safer routes for reward hunting According to Shefali Mundra, tax expert at ClearTax, 'Using a card for others' spending can breach agreements and invite money laundering suspicion. Instead, use cards for personal expenses, maintain transaction records, and report substantial cashback earnings in tax returns.' She cites the case of an Ahmedabad trader who lost Rs 32 lakh after allowing a friend to use 34 credit cards, a costly reminder that 'cashback chasing' can backfire. Bottom line: In the age of AIS and SFT reporting, spending far beyond your declared means, even in the name of reward points, risks drawing the taxman's attention, along with potential legal consequences.

Why Melania Trump is threatening to sue Joe Biden's son for $1 billion
US First Lady Melania Trump has threatened to sue Hunter Biden for over $1 billion (nearly Rs 8,800 crores) over remarks linking her to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. She has demanded that the former president's son retract his statements about Epstein and issue a public apology. Hunter Biden alleged that Epstein had introduced Donald Trump to Melania in the late 1990s The letter is dated August 6 and was first reported on Wednesday. Reuters/File Photo US First Lady Melania Trump has warned that she will sue Hunter Biden for more than $1 billion over his comments linking her to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. She has asked the former first son to withdraw his statements about Epstein and make a public apology. If he refuses, she plans to take legal action to seek damages for what she describes as 'overwhelming financial and reputational harm'. Notably, the Donald Trump administration has recently faced renewed attention over Epstein after the Department of Justice said last month it would not share more details from its investigation into his prison death in 2019, which was ruled a suicide. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD ALSO READ | Why did Trump and Jeffrey Epstein really fall out? In this explainer, we look at Melania's notice to Hunter Biden and the controversy surrounding the case. Let's find out: Inside Melania Trump's $1 billion notice to Hunter Biden Melania Trump's lawyer has demanded that Hunter Biden 'immediately retract the false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements' he made about the First Lady in an interview earlier this month on the YouTube show 'Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan.' 'Failure to comply will leave Mrs. Trump with no choice but to pursue any and all legal rights and remedies available to her to recover the overwhelming financial and reputational harm that you have caused her to suffer,' Florida-based lawyer Alejandro Brito wrote in his letter to Hunter and his lawyer, Abbe Lowell, Fox News reported. Notably, Hunter Biden claimed it was 'beyond a doubt' that the president and Jeffrey Epstein were 'very close friends' and that the sex offender introduced Trump to the future First Lady in the late 1990s. Hunter Biden made the statement in an interview on a YouTube show. Reuters/File Photo He referred to a Daily Beast article based on claims from Trump biographer Michael Wolff. The Daily Beast later removed the story after receiving a letter from Melania Trump's lawyer challenging its headline and framing. The First Lady's legal notice says Wolff's 'false narrative' was the basis for Hunter Biden's remarks and added that if he did not withdraw his statements and issue an apology, she would take further legal action. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'They spent an enormous amount of time together,' Hunter Biden said about the president and Epstein in his interview with Callaghan. 'That's how Melania, and the First Lady and the president met. Yeah, according to Michael Wolff.' Notably, the US President and First Lady have long said that they met through Paolo Zampolli, a modelling agent, at a New York Fashion Week party in 1998. The letter is dated August 6 and was first reported on Wednesday. What happens next? The notice required Joe Biden's son to meet its conditions by August 7. 'If you do not comply with the above by August 7, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. EST, Mrs. Trump will be left with no alternative but to enforce her legal and equitable rights, all of which are expressly reserved and are not waived, including by filing legal action for over $1 Billion Dollars in damages,' Brito wrote. 'You are on notice.' A source familiar with the matter told Fox News that Biden did not meet the August 7 deadline. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The US President and First Lady have long said that they met through Paolo Zampolli. Reuters/File Photo The Epstein files The legal notice follows weeks of calls for the White House to release the so-called Epstein files, which are previously unreleased records connected to the criminal investigation into the convicted paedophile. Epstein was charged in 2019 with sex trafficking minors in Florida and New York. He died in prison while awaiting trial. Although his death was officially ruled a suicide, the circumstances have fuelled speculation and conspiracy theories. A Justice Department memo said no additional documents related to the case would be made public. The decision drew sharp criticism from some Trump supporters who had expected full disclosure under the current administration. Trump has also filed a $10 billion defamation suit against The Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch over a story about a sexually suggestive letter bearing Trump's name, which was included in a 2003 album made for Epstein's birthday.
