Chinese Cashier Steals Rs 20 Crore To Fund Cosmetic Surgery And Luxury Life
According to SCMP, over a period of six years, the individual underwent cosmetic procedures four times annually, with each session costing an estimated 300,000 yuan (Rs 36 lakh). In addition to her physical transformations, she cultivated an image of wealth on social media, spending approximately two million yuan (Rs 2 crore) each year on high-end goods. These acquisitions included diamond bracelets valued at over 100,000 yuan (Rs 12 lakh) and limited-edition crocodile skin handbags. Further investigations revealed her participation in gambling activities at Macau casinos.
As per the Chinese Media house, the 41-year-old, who used the pseudonym Wang Jing, worked as a cashier for a flower and gardening services company in Shanghai that was founded by a person surnamed Xu in 2018.
To facilitate payments, Xu and Wang set up a secured online banking system that was controlled by Wang.
Xu had hired a professional accounting firm and could monitor the company's finances via her phone, so she felt reassured and placed her trust in Wang.
However, Wang had secretly been treating the company's account as her personal vault, using it to fund an extravagant lifestyle.
She confessed that her sole motivation at work was to transfer company funds into her own account for personal use.
"I am blinded by vanity, I have never spent money on any man. I just want to make myself look better," Wang told SCMP, adding: "I enjoy being praised and looking young."
The scheme unravelled in July 2024 when the tax authorities made an unannounced visit to the company and discovered discrepancies between its actual operations and its tax declarations.
At that time, the company's accounts were empty, forcing Xu to use her personal savings to cover employee social security payments.
The Changning District People's Procuratorate in Shanghai officially indicted Wang Jing on charges of embezzlement and fraud. The case is ongoing.

Pakistan cuts mobile data in Balochistan to disrupt militant coordination
Pakistan has suspended cell phone data services for three weeks in the restive southwestern province of Balochistan in a bid to block communications among separatist insurgents behind a surge in recent attacks, an official and the government said. Officials said there are 8.5 million cell phone subscribers in Balochistan, Pakistan's largest province by size, which borders Afghanistan and Iran.(REUTERS) Separatist militants demanding a bigger share of profits from the resources of the mineral-rich province have stepped up attacks in recent months, particularly on Pakistan's military, which has launched an intelligence-based offensive against them. In an order on Wednesday seen by Reuters, the government said the services would be suspended until the end of the month because of the law and order situation in the province, home to key Chinese Belt and Road projects. "The service has been suspended because they (militants) use it for coordination and sharing information," Shahid Rind, a spokesperson for the provincial government, said on Friday. Officials said there are 8.5 million cell phone subscribers in Balochistan, Pakistan's largest province by size, which borders Afghanistan and Iran. But it is thinly populated, with just 15 million from a national population of 240 million. The news follows Pakistan's ban on road travel to Iran late last month, citing security threats. The insurgency by the separatists, who accuse Pakistan's government of depriving them of their share in regional resources, has roiled the province for decades. They primarily attack Pakistani military or Chinese nationals and their interests, but have recently started targeting senior army officers. The military said an officer and two soldiers were killed in a roadside blast set off by the militants on Tuesday. The attack targeting a vehicle was claimed by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), the strongest of the area's insurgent groups, which has also claimed responsibility for several attacks on senior officers in recent weeks. The region is home to the Gwadar Port, built by Beijing as part of a $65-billion investment in Pakistan in the Belt and Road programme designed to expand China's global reach. Islamabad accuses arch-rival India of funding and backing the insurgents in a bid to stoke instability, as Pakistan seeks international investments in the region, a charge New Delhi denies. In March, the BLA blew up a railway track and took hostage more than 400 train passengers in an attack that killed 31, including 23 soldiers.

‘Aura farming' gone wrong! Dubai Police impounds two cars, fines drivers Rs 11 lakh for dangerous stunts
Aura farming is the latest trend on social media and platforms like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok are flooded with videos showing users performing 'cool stuff'. But 'aura farming' is also encouraging users to perform dangerous stunts, for some social media likes and shares. The Dubai Police recently cracked down on social media users, performing dangerous stunts on the roads for 'aura farming'. Dubai Police impounded two luxury cars after their drivers were caught performing dangerous stunts on public roads in an attempt to gain social media fame. #أخبار| شرطة دبي تحجز مركبتين بسبب سلوك استعراضي خطير التفاصيل : #السلامة_المرورية — Dubai Policeشرطة دبي (@DubaiPoliceHQ) August 8, 2025 The police action came after videos of them went viral on social media. In one of the videos, the driver was seen climbing onto the hood of his moving car, waving his hands side to side as if paddling, while filming content. In the second instance, the driver climbed inside the bonnet of a moving car to shoot video for social media. 'This reckless behaviour poses a serious threat to the safety of the drivers themselves and other road users. It is a blatant violation of traffic laws and cannot be tolerated,' Brigadier bin Suwaidan, the Acting Director of the General Department of Traffic at Dubai Police, said in a statement. The two vehicles have been impounded and the drivers have been fined Dh 50,000 (Rs 11.93 lakh) each. According to Brigadier bin Suwaidan, the Dubai Police has a zero-tolerance policy towards hazardous stunts and reckless conduct on the roads. He also warned against sharing such behaviour on social media. 'Public roads are not stunt arenas, and using social media to promote such dangerous acts is entirely unacceptable,' he added.
