Man in Delhi seeks help from friends to recover loan from brother-in-law, both killed
When Raji Ahmed asked his friends on August 10 to help him recover a sum of money that he had lent to his brother-in-law Shami Alam, little did he know what awaited him. In a span of two days, both Raji and Shami were found dead in different areas in Northeast Delhi, police said. The two had partied with four friends on August 10 at Raji's rented accommodation in New Chauhanpur's Mata Vali Gali. Police on Sunday said that while two men were arrested on August 15, in connection with the case, two others were nabbed a day later. These were the same men who were with the deceased at the New Chauhanpur house on August 10. According to the police, they were informed in the wee hours of August 11 that a body was found at Gali no. 26, C-Block, Khajuri Khas. 'A police team, along with forensic experts, reached the spot and examined the crime scene. The body was sent to GTB Hospital for a post-mortem examination. He was identified as Raji Ahmed, 33, a resident of Harkesh Market,' DCP (North East) Ashish Mishra said. During the probe, with the help of CCTV footage and call detail records, police zeroed in on Vicky Tomar (24) and Asfaq (19) and a manhunt was launched. While the police were tracing the movement of the accused on the day of the murder, they ended up at a building in New Chauhanpur and stumbled upon another body on August 12. 'A decomposed body of an unidentified man was recovered from a locked kitchen on the first floor of a house in Mata Vali Gali, New Chauhanpur. It was sent to GTB Hospital and a case under BNS Section 103(1) was filed. The deceased was identified as Shami Alam, 37,' DCP Mishra said. During questioning, the two accused told the police that they had planned upon assaulting Shami as Raji had allegedly asked them to help him recover a sum of money Shami had borrowed from him. 'Raji, Shami, Vicky, Asfaq and two other men — Faizaan (22) and Masoom (25) — had gathered for a party at the said building in New Chauhanpur on Sunday. Raji had taken it on rent. After Raji left, as planned, the four men thrashed Shami, leading to his death,' DCP Mishra said. The accused were now in a bind. They locked Shami's body in the kitchen and went after Raji. Fearing that Raji might tell the police about their involvement in the murder, they killed him as well. 'During questioning, they revealed that after killing Shami, they went to Khajuri Khas and murdered Raji to cover up the crime,' the DCP said. Faizaan and Masoom were arrested based on inputs given by Vicky and Asfaq.

Ambergris worth more than ₹5 crores seized at Dapoli
Mumbai: The Dapoli customs division seized a little over 4kg of ambergris worth over ₹5 crore from Goa fort near Harnai beach at Ratnagiri's Dapoli village on August 12. Ambergris, also known as 'whale vomit' is a solid, waxy substance produced in the digestive system of sperm whales, highly valued in the perfume industry as a fragrance enhancer. Ambergris trade is prohibited since the material is classified as a schedule I animal article under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, making this a rare and high value seizure by the Dapoli customs division. The Dapoli customs division seized a little over 4kg of ambergris worth over ₹ 5 crore from Goa fort near Harnai beach at Ratnagiri's Dapoli village on August 12. (HT) Following a tip off, officers of the customs department rushed to the Goa fort near Harnai beach where they found a viscous jelly like substance suspected to be ambergris. The material, highly sought after in the international market, was seized and samples of it were sent for chemical analysis. It was then handed over to the wildlife department. According to scientists, when whales, a species vulnerable to extinction according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, ingest indigestible materials like squid beaks, ambergris forms within their system as a protective way to expel these objects. After being expelled, the ambergris drifts across the ocean. Only two or three incidents of free-floating ambergris have been reported in the past five years across Indian coasts. 'There have been no sightings (of sperm whales) for quite a while on the Maharashtra coast,' said Mahi Manakeshwar, marine biologist at Coastal Conservation Foundation, who works with deep sea animals such as the sperm whale. He said that Sperm whales were deep sea creatures and ambergris, expelled far out at sea, reaches the coast depending on the currents. 'Fishermen know what ambergris looks like and usually report their findings,' Manakeshwar added.

Teenage girl who fled home rescued from forced marriage in UP
New Delhi: A 13-year-old girl from north-west Delhi's Bharat Nagar, who left home following a dispute with her father, was rescued nearly a month later after being trafficked and forcibly married off in Uttar Pradesh. She boarded a train that took her to Meerut, where two men lured her with false promises and took her to Shamli. There, she was illegally married to a 40-year-old man. A fake Aadhaar card was used to show her age as 19 years.

Police have arrested three men in connection with the case. Police sources said the force got a complaint about a missing girl on July 22. Despite continuous effort by the family and the police, she could not be traced at first. A case was registered under Section 137 (kidnapping) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). "While we were searching for the girl, her family informed us that they had received a missed call from an unknown number. When they called back, a woman answered and said her daughter-in-law might have made the call, then abruptly disconnected it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite? Vitauthority Learn More Undo The number provided by the family had one incorrect digit, and when a police team followed that lead to Mathura, it turned out to be false, a police source said. Later, after obtaining the correct phone number, the team traced the location to Shamli and rescued the girl from a home. Police later learned that the girl had left her home and taken a bus to a railway station and randomly boarded a train that led her to Meerut. While she was wandering in the station, she encountered a 20-year-old man, who promised to help her settle down. However, it was a trap. The man from Hapur, along with a 55-year-old associate from Meerut, took the girl to Shamli, where they forced her to marry a 40-year-old man on July 24 in exchange for Rs 15,000-20,000. They made a fake Aadhaar card to falsify her age as 19 years. Four days after the forced marriage, the girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by the 40-year-old man at his residence. Police are now investigating whether other minor girls — often from impoverished backgrounds — were similarly trafficked and forcibly married to older men. The duo, and the man who married the girl, have been booked under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including charges of human trafficking , exploitation of a trafficked person, and forgery of official documents. Additionally, provisions under Sections 6 and 21 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act as well as Sections 9 and 10 of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006, have been invoked against the trio. The arrests were carried out by a team from the Bharat Nagar police station. When contacted, DCP (northwest) Bhisham Singh said that the investigation was on.
