No coercive action against overage vehicles: Supreme Court
NEW DELHI: In a relief to owners facing the threat of their overage vehicles being impounded by city authorities, Supreme Court Tuesday directed no coercive action be taken against them and agreed to re-examine its 2018 order by which it had banned the plying of over 15-year-old petrol and 10-year-old diesel vehicles. The respite came after SG Tushar Mehta and additional solicitor general Aishwarya Bhati, appearing for Delhi govt, appealed to a three-judge bench led by CJI Gavai to recall the order on the grounds it was causing hardships to citizens of Delhi and that pollution, contrary to assumption, is not directly related to the age of vehicles due to advancements in technology and use of BS VI emission norm. In its application, govt said there was a need for a graded, balanced and technology-driven regime to handle vehicular pollution, and that instead of an age-based blanket ban, a scientific and data-driven framework should be developed that considers all relevant indicators to ascertain pollution by individual vehicles. It submitted such a policy would ensure not only the protection of the environment through the phasing out of polluting vehicles but also preserve the rights of responsible vehicle owners. No scientific basis for taking overage vehicles off roads, govt pleaded in apex court A senior citizen and owner of a 2011 BMW car, apprehending impounding of his vehicle, also moved the court and his lawyer Charu Mathur contended that a complete ban on vehicles based on their age rather than fitness or compliance with emission norms was wrong and needed to be examined.

"Issue notice. Returnable in four weeks. In the meantime no coercive steps should be taken against the owners of (such) vehicles on the ground... List it after four weeks," it said. The 2018 SC order was not vigorously implemented by authorities and was done only last year, which led to public outcry, following which the drive to impound the vehicles was halted. This compelled govt to seek recall of the SC order. The govt in its application said, "It is submitted that if the order of this court dated 29.10.2018 continues to operate, it will result in road worthy, non-polluting BS-VI vehicles also going off the roads in a matter of a few years without a scientific basis for the same. Further, it is respectfully submitted that there does not appear to be a scientific basis for mandating that even BS-IV vehicles which meet PUC norms should be taken off the roads in Delhi NCR. It is submitted that these are serious issues which may require a fresh scientific evaluation". "It is respectfully submitted that the order passed by this court was originally passed as an emergency measure during a period when BS-IV emission standards were in force and the migration to BS-VI, which has much stricter and advanced norms, had not yet commenced," the govt said. "However, it is submitted that to tackle the issue of pollution in NCR, a comprehensive policy is required which gives vehicle fitness based on the actual emission levels of an individual vehicle as per scientific methods rather than implementing a blanket ban based solely on the age of the vehicle," it said.

Money trap: 40% cyber fraud cases this year came as investment bait
Gurgaon: The city appears to have become a fertile ground for cybercriminals preying on people's hunger to earn more and the risk appetite they have. Investment fraud has emerged as the most common cybercrime, accounting for nearly 40% of all online fraud cases reported in the city. It has ensnared thousands, from tech professionals to homemakers and retirees, luring them into fake investment schemes with promises of quick, high returns. The result is often devastation, leaving those who have been targeted chasing shadows and grappling with the loss of their hard-earned money. The city's cyber police cell has registered over 16,000 complaints in the first half of 2025, with 40% cases linked to investment fraud. ACP (cybercrime) Priyanshu Diwan said 1,300 fraudsters were arrested in the first half of this year, up from around 700 in the same period in 2024. "Increased public awareness has helped reduce total financial fraud losses from Rs 155 crore in 2024 to Rs 80 crore in the current year," he said.

Often operating through networks that are run from foreign shores, they bait targets with fraudulent stock trading apps, fake cryptocurrency platforms, or get-rich-quick schemes disseminated through Telegram and WhatsApp groups. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo Initially, victims are shown small, fabricated profits to build trust by cyber cons. Once convinced, they are encouraged to invest large sums, only to find the websites vanish, contacts go silent and their money gone without a trace. A case in point is a 57-year-old private employee from Sector 23, who was added to a WhatsApp group in Sept 2024. The group, comprising 56 members, was formed to give lessons on stock market investment. By Oct, he had downloaded an app and deposited Rs 1.3 crore into various bank accounts provided by the fraudsters. When he attempted to withdraw the money, he was asked to transfer an additional Rs 20 lakh as "investor tax". The moment he stopped transferring money, the fraudsters stopped attending calls. In another instance, a chartered accountant's daughter from Faridabad was conned of Rs 7.6 crore via a Facebook link promising lucrative stock market returns. Despite police efforts, which led to the arrest of 16 people across multiple cities, the financial losses continue to mount. Central to these scams is use of mule accounts — legitimate bank accounts rented or sold for a fee — which help funnel defrauded money and park it. Over 40% of those arrested in cyber fraud cases this year, according to cyber police, were found to have provided their bank accounts to criminals in exchange for cash or commissions. "The network of mule accounts is the lifeline of these fraud networks, enabling fraudsters to move money and hide their tracks," said ACP Diwan. The complexity of dismantling these networks lies in the rapid transfer of money through multiple accounts, conversion to cryptocurrency, and movement abroad, a police officer said. "Some of the mule account holders have even travelled to countries like Dubai and Cambodia to sell information on dozens of their accounts for hefty sums," he added. Police investigations have revealed that fraudsters contact potential mule account providers via messaging apps, offering money in exchange for account details, making money recovery and tracking exceedingly difficult. Police investigations have found that fraudsters pay commissions ranging from Rs 30,000 to Rs 2 lakh in exchange for handing over access to their bank accounts. Many mule account holders, according to police, claim ignorance about larger fraud operations. "Some said they were told their accounts would be used for business purposes or foreign remittances, while others look the other way, tempted by the promise of quick money," said the police officer. ACP Diwan said the cyber police are working extensively to dismantle the mule account network. "Without these accounts, fraudsters would struggle to operate. This year alone, more than 400 suspects have been arrested for providing accounts to criminals," he added. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
