Trustee duped of Rs 85k in fake land deal for old age home
The complainant, who jointly runs the old age home with his mother, told police that he received a call on July 25 from a man identifying himself as Vijay. Claiming to represent an NGO that supports old age homes, Vijay inquired about the trust's needs. While the trustee mentioned grocery requirements, Vijay instead offered help with land allocation and sent an office address near Sindhu Bhavan Road via WhatsApp.
The following day, a man named Surendra visited the trustee and took him to inspect an open plot near Prahladnagar, claiming it was being donated to the trust.
Surendra then demanded Rs 1.10 lakh as legal and stamp duty charges, assuring that the amount would be refunded within three days.

On July 29, as instructed, the trustee travelled to Gandhinagar with his mother and a relative. During the supposed registration process, Surendra collected Rs 85,000 from him, citing documentation expenses. However, shortly after receiving the money, Surendra vanished, blocked the trustee's number, and became unreachable.

Trump threatens takeover of Washington, D.C., with National Guard to fight crime
President Donald Trump on Wednesday suggested he may use the National Guard to police the streets of Washington, D.C., in his latest threat to take over running the city that serves as the seat of the U.S. government. "We have a capital that's very unsafe," Trump told reporters at the White House. "We have to run D.C. This has to be the best-run place in the country."

"It is time to federalize DC," he wrote. Asked if he was considering taking over the D.C. police, Trump responded affirmatively. Live Events "We just almost lost a young man, beautiful handsome guy that got the hell knocked out of him," Trump said. The president posted a picture of the victim, Edward Coristine, known by the nickname "Big Balls," on social media, with blood on his face, arms, torso and legs. "We're going to beautify the city. We're going to make it beautiful. And what a shame, the rate of crime, the rate of muggings, killings and everything else. We're not going to let it. And that includes bringing in the National Guard, maybe very quickly, too," Trump said. A spokesman for D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser declined to comment. Violent crime in the first seven months of 2025 was down by 26% in D.C. compared to last year while overall crime was down about 7%, according to records on the police department's website. Overall crime was down 15% in 2024, compared to 2023, the website showed. The District of Columbia was established in 1790 with land from neighboring Virginia and Maryland. Congress has control of its budget, but resident voters elect a mayor and city council, thanks to a law known as the Home Rule Act. For Trump to take over the city, Congress likely would have to pass a law revoking that act, which Trump would have to sign. The president said on Wednesday that lawyers were already looking at overturning the Home Rule Act.
