Four arrested after Noida bizman's murder unveils currency scam
Noida: Four men have been arrested in Noida for their alleged involvement in a currency exchange scam that culminated in the murder of a 40-year-old businessman earlier this week. The suspects, part of a well-oiled ring, used a network of rented flats, staged foreign exchange deals, and violent tactics to trap and rob currency dealers. The suspects were identified as Ajay Kumar Sharma (48) and his son Mukul Sharma (25), both from Ghaziabad's Indirapuram, along with Akash Upadhyay (24) from Mahoba and Aryan Yadav (25) from Delhi. Police said Mukul and Akash were injured in a gunfight while attempting to flee a checkpoint near Noida's Sector 54. Officers recovered firearms, a stolen motorcycle and cash—both Indian and foreign—worth Rs 10.3 lakh from them. The case came to light after Ompal Bhati, a currency exchange operator from Sector 18, was shot dead in a rented flat in Sector 12. Bhati had reportedly gone there to exchange Rs 10 lakh in cash after being lured into a fake currency deal. Police said the group's modus operandi involved scouting for currency dealers, posing as genuine clients seeking to convert foreign currency, and renting properties briefly with token deposits to stage deals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Once the target arrived with cash, the accused would rob them at gunpoint and flee. Investigators revealed that Ajay Sharma masterminded the operations while his son Mukul, Akash, and Aryan surveyed and met with victims. In Bhati's case, the group had claimed they wanted to exchange Canadian dollars worth Rs 7 lakh. Akash even withdrew Rs 3 lakh to lend credibility to the fake deal. After Bhati arrived at the Sector 12 flat, the suspects attempted to rob him, but he resisted and was fatally shot. The group contacted Ajay post the murder, who advised them to take shelter at Aryan's house in Delhi. Police say they had defrauded another exchange operator of 8,000 dirhams just before their arrest. All four have been charged with murder, fraud, and possession of illegal firearms.

ED flags deep conspiracy in Bhoodan land case; top officials, bizmen under lens
1 2 Hyderabad: In a major revelation, Enforcement Directorate (ED) has informed the Telangana high court that large-scale fraudulent transactions have taken place in the sale of Bhoodan land in Nagaram village in Rangareddy district. The central agency, in its counter-affidavit, claimed land sales registered in survey numbers 181, 182, 194, and 195, including 50 acres of Bhoodan land, were executed without valid ownership by the sellers. The buyers reportedly include senior bureaucrats and businessmen. ED has identified Mohammed Abdul Shukur as the key conspirator behind the fraudulent land deals. Shukur allegedly sold the land using forged documents and fabricated ownership claims, falsely asserting that he had purchased the land back in 1992. However, ED investigations revealed that Shukur had no legal title over the land, and his claims were entirely fictitious. "The actual owner of the land was one Haji Nawab Khan, who held 779 acres in the village," said Gajraj Singh Thakur, assistant director, ED Hyderabad. "By 1957–58, Khan had already sold 564 acres—specifically in these disputed survey numbers—to tenants. The remaining land was gifted to his sons and others, leaving no scope for sale in 1992," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP? Tome isso 1x ao dia se tem mais de 40 anos Portal Saúde do Homem Clique aqui Undo Citing a 1977 order by the land reforms tribunal, ED underlined the said land had already changed hands legally by the late 1950s. Despite this, Shukur allegedly manipulated records to show purchases in 1992, it alleged. ED flagged particularly suspicious transactions where Shukur's minor relatives—aged just 2 and 9 — were shown as purchasers of land in survey No. 194 from the late Nawab Haji Ali Khan. "This clearly indicates foul play and warrants a detailed probe into the authenticity of the documents and revenue records," the agency said. Shukur has already been named in two FIRs — No. 110/2023 and No. 331/2024 — pertaining to grabbing land using forged documents. ED said although its current probe focuses on survey No. 194, the same pattern of fraud appears to extend to survey numbers 181, 182, and 195. The scam, it said, was enabled by forged documentation, manipulation of land records, and a systemic failure—or collusion—of revenue officials. "Our investigation has revealed a deep-rooted conspiracy involving the use of forged documents, deliberate tampering of revenue records, and a complete disregard for facts present in official land records," the ED officer said. The agency added that the role of govt officials—from tahsildar to mandal to CCLA level—is under scrutiny, and further revelations are expected as the investigation progresses.

Gym trainer arrested for cheating, sexually exploiting a T'wood junior artiste
Hyderabad: A 27-year-old junior artiste working in Tollywood has lodged a complaint with Jubilee Hills police, alleging that a 30-year-old gym trainer entered into a live-in relationship with her while concealing his marital status, and sexually exploited her multiple times since 2021 under the false promise of marriage. Following her complaint, Jubilee Hills police registered a case and arrested the accused on Saturday. According to the complainant, she had been living independently in the city since 2019 and met the accused at a gym in Gayathri Hills in 2020, shortly before the pandemic. They entered into a consensual live-in relationship in 2021 after the man allegedly assured her that he intended to marry her. During two separate periods of cohabitation — first in Gayathri Hills in 2021 for two months, and later in Manikonda between 2021 and 2022 for nine months — the complainant claimed the suspect sexually exploited her multiple times on the pretext of marriage. She later returned to her native place in Andhra Pradesh before moving back to Hyderabad in November 2023. Initially, she stayed in paying guest (PG) accommodation in Manikonda and subsequently moved to a rented house in Alkapuri Township at the beginning of 2025. She further alleged that in April this year, the accused asked her to arrange 15 lakh, citing their supposed wedding. Trusting him, she transferred 7 lakh via a digital wallet and handed over a further 7 lakh in cash. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo "He only returned 5 lakh and then started avoiding me. When I confronted him, he suddenly admitted he had already been married twice and stated clearly that he had no intention of marrying me," the complainant said. Feeling deceived, she lodged a complaint with Jubilee Hills police on Thursday, and a case was registered under Section 69 (sexual intercourse by employing deceitful means, etc.) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). She was sent for a medical examination. Inspector K Venkateswar Reddy of Jubilee Hills police station has been assigned to investigate the case. "We arrested the accused on Saturday. He will be produced before the court for judicial remand," the inspector said. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
