‘How did snatched black mobile turn blue?': Chandigarh court lets off 3

The court of additional sessions judge, Rajnish Garg, has acquitted three individuals booked by UT Police in a mobile snatching case, citing significant inconsistencies in the prosecution's evidence. The Chandigarh court noted that the prosecution failed to prove both the recovery of the stolen mobile phone and the identity of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt. (HT photo for representation) The case dates back to April, 2023, when complainant Kamalpreet Kaur, a resident of Phase-1, Mohali reported that her mobile was snatched on the night of April 7-8, 2023, in Sector-37, Chandigarh. She stated that three boys on a Punjab-registered Activa snatched her black VIVO mobile. Sector-39 police had booked Abhishek from Jujhar Nagar, Mohali, and Deepak and Vishal from Daddu Majra Colony, Sector-38. An FIR under IPC Sections 379-A, 34, and 411 was registered on April 10, 2023. SI Jagtar Singh was the investigating officer (IO). The accused were allegedly arrested during a police naka, with the snatched mobile phone being recovered. The court questioned the blue colour of the recovered mobile phone, as the complainant had stated in her complaint that her snatched VIVO mobile was of black colour. The prosecution presented five witnesses, while the accused pleaded innocence, claiming false implication and no recovery from them. The court highlighted an unexplained three-day delay in FIR registration. The incident occurred on April 7, but the complaint was officially moved on April 10. The complainant testified her statement was recorded on the spot on April 7, raising concerns about the suppression of the occurrence's origin. Further inconsistencies arose regarding the timeline of arrests. The court noted that the accused were apprehended and recovery was made within an hour of FIR registration, as per the IO. This suggested the possibility that the accused might have already been in police custody before the case was officially registered, implying the current case could have been 'planted'. The prosecution also failed to prove the accused's identity beyond a reasonable doubt. Although the complainant initially claimed she could identify the accused and provided the Activa scooter number, she couldn't recall it in the court. This discrepancy, coupled with the timing of apprehension, suggested police might have provided the scooter details to the complainant. The complainant's testimony on apprehension was inconsistent; she initially claimed her presence during arrest but later stated that the police showed her the accused at the station on an unknown date. Most critically, the prosecution failed to prove the recovery of the snatched mobile phone. Despite claims, the seizure memo listed the mobile as recovered from Vishal, while the IO and complainant testified it was from Deepak, a significant contradiction. Moreover, the recovered phone was blue, contradicting the complainant's statement and repair bill which stated her phone was black. The prosecution also couldn't establish the complainant's ownership of the recovered phone. The court concluded that the prosecution failed to prove both the recovery of the stolen mobile phone and the identity of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt.

In bail denial to ‘Instagram Queen' cop Amandeep Kaur; Punjab & Haryana HC cites ‘grave' charges, public trust breach

CHANDIGARH: Declining bail to a Punjab Police constable, widely known as the 'Instagram queen,' in a corruption case, the Punjab and Haryana high court has observed that the allegations against herare grave and attract serious concern, particularly in light of the position of public trust held by a serving police official. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The HC was also of the view that the nature of the allegations, the magnitude of the disproportion, the possibility of further recovery and scrutiny, and the involvement of the petitioner in other criminal cases necessitate a thorough investigation that would be hampered if she was released on bail at this stage. Justice Manjari NehruKaul, in her order released Friday, dismissed the bail petition of Amandeep Kaur, also dubbed the 'Thar wali constable' due to her lavish lifestyle. Kaur has already been dismissed from the Punjab Police. The HC observed, 'Thematerial placed before this court, including the financial analysis chart submitted with the FIR, reveals a substantial and prima facie unjustified increase in wealth during the check period.' The court found the defence's arguments regarding anarbitrary check period unpersuasive, particularly in light of overall financial inflows and Kaur's alleged involvement in two other criminal cases, including one under the NDPS Act. Justice Kaul further noted that explanations offeredby Kaur's counsel regarding alternative income sources, such as brand endorsements or social media monetisation, were neither substantiated nor supported by credible evidence of lawful income generation. Kaur had sought bail in acorruption case registered against her on May 26 at the vigilance bureau police station, Bathinda. She is accused of acquiring assets disproportionate to her known sources of income during a check period from April 1, 2018, to March 31, 2025.

Five held for duping Burari woman in Rs 17 lakh work-from-home scam, laundering money via crypto

NEW DELHI: Five people were arrested for allegedly duping a woman of over Rs 17 lakh on the pretext of offering a work-from-home scheme by giving bogus online tasks. The woman, a resident of Burari, reported that she was unemployed and was lured into the fake work-from-home task scam via Telegram. She was tricked into performing bogus online tasks and making repeated UPI payments under the pretext of earning commissions. She also learned that fraudsters had illegally accessed her mobile number and identity credentials to obtain personal loans worth Rs 8.8 lakh from two reputed banks without her knowledge, police said. During investigation, it was found that the cheated amount was funnelled into mule accounts, converted into cryptocurrency, and laundered via a Telegram-based network of crypto buyers, officials said.

Krish was the key person who managed the flow of defrauded funds. He admitted to collecting UPI IDs and bank account details from his associates and forwarded the same to cryptocurrency buyers through a Telegram-based channel named 'ATpay.' The funds received in these accounts were either withdrawn in cash or converted into USDT (Tether) cryptocurrency through Nidhi, who was operating locally by using international communication channels, the DCP said. Deepak was responsible for identifying and onboarding account holders willing to lend their bank accounts for fraudulent transactions. He used to facilitate these account transfers to Krish.
