Smugglers break into Surat factory, flee with diamonds worth Rs 25 crore
AHMEDABAD: Gujarat's Surat, also known as the diamond hub of India, witnessed one of the biggest heists in recent years as smugglers broke into Diamond Company in Kapodra during the festive holidays and stole diamonds worth over Rs 25 crore, cash, and CCTV-DVRs. Taking advantage of a three-day holiday shutdown, the gang struck the factory located on the fourth floor of a building in Kapoorwadi. Before forcing their way in, they had disabled the fire alarm outside the factory so that no siren would ring while they used their gas cutter. With only one entry point available, they smashed the wooden door and slipped inside. What ensured the heist's success was the absence of CCTV cameras on that floor. Once inside, the gang showed no hesitation. They removed the office glass panel to reach the main chamber and cut open a three-layered safe, leaving behind a 12x10 inch hole as proof of their precision. The burglars also dismantled one outside camera and two inside cameras, ensuring no trace of their movement remained. By carrying away the DVRs, they eliminated digital evidence also. The alarm bells rang only when the owner returned after the holidays. Police rushed in with teams from the DCP, ACP, city crime branch, and forensic experts. Investigators collected traces, including a lighter, while probing the scene. Early estimates suggest it took the thieves nearly two hours to slice through the fortified locker, indicating they were not amateurs but a gang armed with modern tools.

Ex-Intel Engineer Varun Gupta Fined Rs 29 Lakh For Leaking Files To Microsoft
A former Intel engineer has been sentenced to two years of probation and fined $34,472, approximately Rs 29 lakh, for stealing and sharing confidential company information with Microsoft. Varun Gupta, who holds an IIT degree and has worked for Intel for over a decade as a product marketing engineer, carried out this scheme to secure a role at Microsoft, according to Oregon Live. He copied and shared thousands of files, including the one containing Intel's pricing strategy, internal presentations, and competitive analysis the tech giant used to run its business. A PowerPoint presentation outlining Intel's pricing strategy for a big client was among the materials he took with him. These documents later helped Microsoft in negotiations with Intel. According to Tom's Hardware, Mr Gupta left Intel in January 2020. In the days before his exit from chip manufacturer Santa Clara's headquarters, he spent considerable time transferring files containing trade secrets and sensitive business information. Prosecutor William Narus sought an eight-month imprisonment for Gupta, arguing that he repeatedly accessed Intel's confidential files, court documents show. "Gupta had purposefully and repetitively accessed secret documents," he told the court. Defence lawyer David Angeli admitted the seriousness of Gupta's actions but urged the court to impose a lighter sentence. He stated that Mr Gupta had already lost his chance to ever work in a major tech giant and had paid $40,000 (approx. Rs 33.4 lakh) as a civil settlement with Intel. Intel first took legal action against Mr Gupta in February 2021, before a civil settlement was reached. However, criminal proceedings continued, and in December 2024, he was formally charged with keeping stolen trade secrets. In February 2025, he pleaded guilty, according to The Federal. The techie expressed regret to the US government, Microsoft, and Intel for the resources used as a result of his "bad decision" in a statement to the court. He left the software field to go to Europe with his family, where he is currently pursuing a degree in vineyard management in preparation for a career in the wine industry. He is currently working to rebuild his life in France.

Officer caught taking Rs 1 lakh bribe in caste certificate case in Bhopal
Representative Image BHOPAL: The Jabalpur unit of Lokayukta police on Monday trapped and arrested a senior officer of the Scheduled Caste Development Department while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 1 lakh at his residence in Panchsheel Nagar, Bhopal. The action was carried out on the instructions of Director General of Police (Lokayukta) Yogesh Deshmukh as part of the ongoing drive against corruption. The complainant, Usha Dabhikar (60), a resident of Chhindwara and wife of retired government employee Narendra Dabhikar, had approached Lokayukta alleging that her caste certificate was under scrutiny at the office of the Commissioner, Scheduled Caste Development Department, Bhopal. According to her complaint, accused Jeevan Lal Brar (61), posted as Assistant Grade-I at the department's Rajiv Gandhi Bhawan office near Doordarshan Kendra, had allegedly demanded Rs 5 lakh to suppress the inquiry. After negotiations, he agreed to accept the first instalment of Rs 1 lakh. On Monday afternoon, the Lokayukta team laid a trap and caught Brar red-handed while accepting the money at his residence, House No. G-21, Panchsheel Nagar, opposite Administrative Academy. He was immediately taken into custody. Officials said a case has been registered against Brar under Sections 7, 13(1)(b) and 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (as amended in 2018). The operation was led by Deputy SP Neetu Tripathi, with Inspectors Rekha Prajapati, Uma Kushwaha and Jitendra Yadav, along with other members of the Jabalpur Lokayukta unit. Lokayukta officials said more documents and possible evidence linked to the alleged graft would be examined during the probe.
