Cybercrooks dupe 79-year-old Bengaluru woman of Rs 35 lakh in AI trading scam
Bengaluru: A 79-year-old woman from Seshadripuram, central Bengaluru, lost nearly Rs 35 lakh to fraudsters operating a sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) trading scam. The gang not only cheated her of her savings over eight months but also tried to extort more by threatening her with a fabricated money-laundering case. Archana (name changed) approached Central CEN Crime police for help in recovering her money. She told police she came across a Facebook advertisement promoting AI-based trading. The post featured deepfake videos of Infosys co-founder NR Narayana Murthy endorsing trading platforms. On clicking the link, she was contacted by a woman claiming to be an executive of a UK-based AI trading firm that the deepfake videos had endorsed. The fraudsters created a convincing facade: They registered an account in Archana's name on a fake but professional-looking website, gave her login credentials and assigned her a financial manager named Varun. He claimed the company would credit money to users' accounts as a promotional strategy, which could be withdrawn after clearing the credited amount. The only condition was that when the customer withdrew money, they needed to clear the credit.

On the homepage, they provided updates on cryptocurrency, and on another page, they displayed stock market updates. Initially, Archana invested 200 dollars in Indian currency to a bank account provided by Varun. After confirming the investment and seeing the profit displayed in her account, she transferred more money, equalling 400 dollars. Archana told TOI, "I didn't invest further or try to withdraw the money for six months. The fraudsters would frequently make WhatsApp calls and explain they were going to purchase companies at a loss and, after a few months, resell them to other firms that were in profit. They mentioned the names of big brands in India." The scamsters started calling her from different numbers starting with +44 — all WhatsApp calls — and began enquiring about her investment in AI trading. She would disconnect the calls, informing them that she'd invested in only one firm. In April, they showed her that the total amount in her account was over Rs 1 crore (in US dollars). They told her Varun had been sacked for committing fraud in trading. Another financial manager named Ajay Sharma was assigned, and he started forcing her to clear the credit and claim the huge amount, Archana told police. "I had some commitments, so I thought of withdrawing the money. They told me they had transferred the dollars to another person named FX, who would convert it into Indian currency and credit it to my account. For that, they asked me to pay Rs 4 lakh as declaration charge. I borrowed money from my daughter and son and paid them. They again told me Varun had committed multiple frauds and sent me screenshots of the same. They asked for Rs 9 lakh more to clear dues and I again borrowed money from my children and paid them, losing over Rs 34.6 lakh in total. "

MP cop didn't serve notice as asked. HC tells him to plant 1,000 fruit trees as punishment
The order issued by the Jabalpur bench of the MP High Court stated: 'SHO Ravendra Diwedi, presently posted at police station city Kotwali, has tendered [an] apology for not serving the victim [the HC notice] in time. He has promised not only to pay the cost of Rs 5,000 imposed on him by the Inspector General of Police but also to plant at least 1,000 trees between 1 July to 31 August at Chitrakoot in Satna district.' In an order issued 24 June, MP High Court justices Vivek Agarwal and Avanindra Kumar Singh directed Ravendra Dwivedi, the station house officer (SHO) of the Kotwali Police Station in Satna, to plant 1,000 fruit trees, including mango, jamun, Mahua, and guava, among others. Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh High Court, in a unique punishment, has ordered an inspector posted in Satna district to plant 1,000 fruit trees for his failure to pass on an HC-issued notice to a minor victim of a sexual offence. The order further pointed out, 'Let fruiting trees like mango, jamun, Mahua, guava, etc., be planted and their photograph sent alongside GPS location to the registry, in support of the compliance report.' The court also directed Ashutosh Gupta, Superintendent of Police (SP), Satna, to inspect the 1,000 planted trees before filing an affidavit, along with the compliance report. The court ordered inspector Dwivedi to bear the costs of planting the trees, as well as ensure their care for a year, which will be essential for their germination and survival. A senior police officer with the Madhya Pradesh Police explained that when an accused in a sexual offence challenged any conviction, the court would issue a notice to the victim. 'Through this notice, the victim has an opportunity to be present before the court and make themselves heard. This particular case concerns a sexual offence case from 2018 when the SHO's posting was at the Sabhapur Police Station in Satna.' 'The accused challenged the conviction, and subsequently, the court issued a notice to the victim. But, SHO Ravendra Diwedi failed to hand the notice over to the victim on time. In this regard, the court has pulled him up,' said the senior police officer. When The Print contacted Ashutosh Gupta, SP, Satna, said, 'We have received the order of the honourable court, and we will be complying with it.'
