The conductor's phone was stolen by a thief inside a moving bus while he was busy with his work.
Cases related to phone snatching and theft have been on the rise, especially in metropolitan cities like Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru and Chennai. These instances are common in transit areas like Buses, Metros and Trains. Now, a conductor's phone was stolen by a thief inside a moving bus while he was busy with his work.
In a CCTV video, shared on X, the conductor is seen busy talking to a passenger, while a young boy is seen standing behind him. As soon as the bus stops and the doors open, he quickly steps forward, steals the conductor's phone from his bag and gets off the bus.
The internet was quick to share their reactions to the video. An X user wrote, 'Itna chupke se kaam nipta diya ek Bharat Ratna isko bhi milna chahiye (He completed the work so stealthily, he should also be awarded a Bharat Ratna)."
The video has been viewed more than 33,000 times since it was shared on X.

The businessman, who runs a popular Chole Bhature outlet, reportedly received a threatening phone call from an international number. The caller warned of dire consequences if the amount was not paid promptly, leaving the eatery owner in a state of fear and distress. According to police, the threatening call came around 4 pm, and the owner immediately took the matter seriously. Terrified by the threats, he contacted the police and filed a formal complaint at around 6 pm the same day. The businessman's prompt action led to Delhi Police launching an investigation into the case.

Punjab-based agent held for arranging illegal US entry through ‘Dunki route'
The 'Dunki route' is a term used for an illicit transcontinental network that helps people illegally cross multiple borders — often enduring dangerous terrains — to enter countries like the US. The accused, Jagjeet Singh alias Jassa (29), a resident of Rajpura in Punjab, was held following the deportation of a 21-year-old Indian youth from the US, who was found travelling with a tampered passport, police said. New Delhi, Jun 9 (PTI) A Punjab-based agent allegedly involved in facilitating illegal entry of Indians into the United States through a 'Dunki route' has been arrested by Delhi Police, an official said on Monday. The matter came to light when Navjot Singh, a resident of Mansa district in Punjab, arrived at the IGI Airport on the intervening night of June 3 and 4 after being deported from the US. During immigration clearance, forged Indian immigration and Kenyan arrival stamps were found in his passport. These entries did not match official records, police said. Subsequent investigation revealed that Navjot had travelled from Mumbai to Kenya on a tourist visa in November 2024. He then moved to Turkey and Spain using a forged Schengen visa and eventually reached Mexico. From there, he entered the US by crossing the Tijuana border with the help of smugglers. Police said Navjot was detained by US authorities and remained in custody for five months before being deported. He was arrested at IGI Airport upon arrival after officials detected the tampered travel documents. On interrogation, Navjot revealed that he had paid Rs 41 lakh to Jagjeet Singh, the alleged mastermind, for facilitating the illegal journey. A team traced and apprehended Jagjeet Singh from Punjab. During questioning, Singh admitted to arranging illegal transits through international agents based in Kenya and Mexico. He said that he has been in the business for two to three years, luring job-seekers with promises of entry into the US. Further investigation is underway, police said.
