Man gets life term for raping Dalit woman, sharing obscene photos
Agra: A 38-year-old man was sentenced to life imprisonment for raping a Dalit woman and circulating her obscene photos to her relatives. The SC/ST court in Agra, presided over by Judge Pushkar Upadhyay, also imposed a fine of ₹90,000 on the convict. Additional district govt counsel (ADGC) Hemant Dixit said on Saturday that the 30-year-old woman's mother, a farmer, had filed a police complaint against the accused in March 2022. "My daughter and the man were friends and used to speak regularly. After her engagement, we asked her to stop talking to him. But around Jan 2021, he convinced her to meet him one last time. During that meeting, he took obscene photos of her and forcefully did wrong things. My daughter returned home and told me everything. Out of shame, we didn't report it and got her married," the mother told the court during the trial. She added, "After the wedding, the man began sending my daughter's obscene photos to our relatives, including to the mobile phone of my brother-in-law's son-in-law. The pictures were sent to many relatives." Based on the FIR, police booked the accused under IPC sections 376 (rape), 504 (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace), 506 (criminal intimidation), 509 (insulting the modesty of a woman), along with section 67 of the IT Act and relevant provisions of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa Prices in Dubai Might Be Lower Than You Think!

Senior citizen duped of Rs 98,000 in online scam
Udupi: A senior citizen allegedly lost Rs 98,000 in an online scam. In a complaint, SS Nayak, 71, claimed that he had uploaded information about renting out his house on the OLX app and the 99Acres app. On July 30, at around 7.30pm, an unknown person called him, claiming to be an Army officer. He said he was transferred to the Udupi district and was looking to rent a house. The caller told the complainant that his senior officer would transfer the advance rent amount to his account. During a conference call, another person posing as an Army officer spoke and sent an online form via WhatsApp. As the complainant began filling out the form, he was asked to deposit Rs 5 into his account to verify the process. After doing so, he received a message confirming the Rs 5 credit. The fraudster then convinced him that by continuing to fill out similar online forms, he would receive Rs 48,000 and Rs 50,000 in his account. As the complainant proceeded to fill in the forms, the caller asked for his internet banking user ID and password. When the complainant refused to share the details, the call was disconnected. The next morning, at around 7.30am, when the complainant checked his internet banking account, he discovered that Rs 98,000 had been fraudulently withdrawn. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Photos Captured the Exact Wrong Moment Read More Undo He complained.

Man loses Rs 90,000 A man allegedly lost Rs 90,000 after being misled by a caller posing as a life insurance representative. Hariprasad, 59, in a complaint, said that he took a home loan from a private bank 10 years ago for the construction of a house. As part of the process, the same bank enrolled him in a personal insurance policy with a private life insurance company. The complainant paid one or two premium instalments initially, but later stopped payments and allegedly did not receive any further notices from the insurance company. On Feb 17, an unknown person called the complainant, claiming to be from the insurance company. The caller informed him that his personal insurance premium was overdue and instructed him to make the payment immediately. Believing the caller, the complainant clicked on a payment link sent by the accused and transferred Rs 90,000 through Google Pay. Later, when the complainant visited the insurance office to confirm the payment, the company staff informed him that no such amount was received. Realising he was cheated, the complainant filed a complaint. A case was registered at Udupi Town police station under Sections 318(4) of the BNS and 66(D) of the IT Act.
