This is the second supplementary chargesheet in the case and the first one naming Balyan. Earlier, the main chargesheet was filed against Ritik, alias Peter. The first supplementary chargesheet was filed against Rohit, also known as Anna, and Sachin Chikara. The court of special judge Dig Vinay Singh will hear the police's submissions on Friday.
Balyan was arrested in the case on Dec 4 last year. On Jan 8, police opposed his bail plea, saying that he was a "facilitator" in the organised crime syndicate. Therefore, the police urged the court to dismiss Balyan's bail plea, which the court did on Jan 15.
If bail was granted, police said, Balyan could have influenced witnesses, destroyed evidence, and hampered the ongoing investigation, the prosecution said. "They (witnesses) confessed that accused Naresh Balyan is a facilitator/conspirator in the organised crime syndicate of Kapil Sangwan and he provided money to one member of the syndicate after the commission of the crime for expenses during evading his arrest," special public prosecutor Akhand Pratap Singh said.
The prosecutor cited 16 FIRs lodged against the alleged syndicate members in various parts of Delhi and claimed that it had caused havoc in society.

Bikers throw caution to wind in Gurgaon: 73k fined for rides without helmets in a month
Gurgaon: Over 70,000 bike riders were challaned for driving without helmets by the city police in May. In that month, police penalised a total of 34,551 drivers for driving without helmets, while 38,502 pillion riders were challaned for not wearing head gear. Pedestrians and two-wheeler riders accounted for the majority of fatalities in the first four months of this year. Of the total 149 fatalities in the first four months of the year, 63 were pedestrians and 57 were two-wheeler riders. Among the 291 injured, 69 were pedestrians and 147 were two-wheeler riders. Last year, the city reported 1,024 road accidents that led to 478 deaths and 706 injuries. The alarming rise in the number comes along with the figures for the first four months of the year — 2.4 lakh. DCP (Traffic) Rajesh Mohan said on Tuesday even when two-wheeler drivers top the accident charts, they do not refrain from zigzag driving and avoid helmets. "People should understand that they don't have to wear helmets only when seeing the cops on the roads, but rather they should wear the safety gear to reach safely to their loved ones. Our challaning campaign, aiming at streamlining the traffic, will continue," the DCP said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mistura chinesa faz cabelo crescer e homem fica irreconhecível Resultados em 30 dias Undo Among the other major violations in May were 9,254 over speeding challans, 3,058 drinking and driving challans, 579 challans for using mobile phones while driving, 2,605 red light jumping penalties, 4,655 lane change fines, 20,780 wrong side driving challans, 7,529 triple riding challans, 16,102 challans for zebra crossing violations and 5639 penalties for not wearing seat belts.

Detective's bombshell testimony casts doubt on original investigation and raises new questions in Hockey Canada sexual assault trial
New insights from a key police detective have cast light on the emotional weight of reopening the case (photo credit : Nicole Osborne/The Canadian Press) As the high-profile Hockey Canada sexual assault trial nears its conclusion, new insights from a key police detective have cast light on the emotional weight of reopening the case for the complainant, known in court as E.M. Det. Lyndsey Ryan, the last witness to take the stand, testified about leading the London Police Service's 2022 reinvestigation into the 2018 incident involving five former World Junior hockey players — Michael McLeod, Dillon Dubé, Alex Formenton, Cal Foote, and Carter Hart, all of whom have pleaded not guilty. Emotional toll on the complainant was central to investigation strategy Ryan revealed that when she informed E.M. in July 2022 that the previously closed investigation was being reopened, the response was deeply emotional. 'She was quite upset... I think it was a bit overwhelming. She wasn't expecting us [police],' Ryan said. She emphasized that protecting E.M. from further trauma was a guiding principle throughout the renewed investigation. 'We had everything we needed from her and every interview was very retraumatizing. ' Despite differences in E.M.'s 2018 and 2022 statements, Ryan defended the evolution in E.M.'s understanding of the incident. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo 'In the 2022 statement, she seems to know how she felt and understands what happened in that room was not her fault.

Gang exploited victims using artificial intelligence and fake loans
New Delhi: Akshita, Jayshree, Pinki and Dimple led seemingly ordinary lives, but behind the facade, they allegedly harboured secrets that would shock their families and friends. At work, they were telecallers who would ruthlessly target the vulnerable and the elderly by using artificial intelligence, trapping them into a vicious cycle of blackmail. Beyond office hours, the women donned an entirely different persona – a tightrope walk to balance their alleged illicit activities and their everyday lives. Jayshree, a graduate from Alwar University, allegedly worked as a key player in a sextortion gang, using her charm to lure victims into compromising situations, police said. "The racket comprised social media profile analysts, extortion callers and individuals impersonating police officers to intimidate victims with false legal threats unless they complied with extortion demands," said joint commissioner Surender Kumar. These persons allegedly employed a deceitful method to lure and exploit victims. The modus operandi was to check profiles of prospective targets on social media and get them to chat. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Genera ingresos extras con IA desde casa: una manera astuta de empezar a invertir con éxito [CFD] Digital Group Prueba ahora Undo After establishing a connection, they would suddenly initiate video calls with AI-generated models, and the background voice was of a female. "During interrogation by ACP Anil Sharma, they disclosed that they would initially send friend requests on Facebook and Instagram and obtain the victim's mobile number through Facebook Messenger. Subsequently, they would initiate a video call on WhatsApp, during which they would stream obscene clips, secretly recording the victim's screen and reactions using screen recording tools," said DCP (crime) Aditya Gautam. The recorded content was then used to blackmail the victim under threats of publicly circulating the video on social media platforms, thereby coercing them into transferring money, said police. The sextortion gang, allegedly led by Jahid (20), targeted victims through compromising videos, with Jayshree (24), a former SBI BPO employee, making calls and luring victims into compromising situations. Raheesh (21), Sohil (18) and Jaiveer (24) were also part of this module, cops said. Another modus operandi of the call centre was to trap people by offering fake bank loans. Initially, the telecallers, under directions from Dilshad Ali, contacted potential victims, offering them attractive loan deals. Once they gained the victim's trust, the telecaller would request identification and other personal documents via WhatsApp. The victim was then asked to make a payment through a QR code scanner under the pretext of file processing fees. After the payment was received, the victim's follow-up messages and calls were ignored. The fraudsters would then switch off their mobile devices and change their contact numbers, effectively cutting off all communication. At the heart of the operation were Ujjawal Pandey (30) and Gaurav Barua (24), who allegedly masterminded the racket. Pandey, owner of a cyber café in Krishna Nagar, began selling fake account kits and SIM cards while Barua, a graduate from Ignou, facilitated pre-activated account kit transactions, said police. Their partnership enabled the smooth functioning of the scam, with Yug Sharma (18) allegedly assisting in supplying fake SIM cards and account kits. Ali employed several telecallers, including Saurav (27), Pravesh (28), Akshita (18), Raunak (24), Dimple (20) and Pinki (24), to pose as loan service representatives and dupe customers into divulging sensitive information. Another key player, Amit, owned the call centres and is absconding. He also supervised operations, cops said.
