The Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Mumbai on Tuesday carried out searches at around 15 locations in Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Madurai and Surat in connection with the case over the illegal betting app 'parimatch'. More than Rs 2,000 crore was allegedly duped from users of the betting app. The investigation was initiated under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) on the basis of an FIR registered by Cyber Police Station, Mumbai in 2024. As per ED officials, the preliminary investigation shows that the funds were collected from duped users in mule accounts. These funds, aggregating to sums more than Rs 2,000 crore, were layered through multiple payment aggregators and domestic money transfer agents. This amount was then layered and sent through crypto wallets, cash withdrawals through ATMs in one locality of Tamil Nadu, low value UPI transfers, etc. The central agency's investigative team has so far seized various documents, mobile phones, and computer peripherals.

Thane: The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) has awarded a compensation of Rs 23.75 lakh to the family of a delivery executive who died after being mowed down by a truck four years ago. The driver of the truck had the "last opportunity" to avoid the accident. But its rear wheels "rolled over the waist and thigh of the deceased," it observed. "This shows rash and negligence of the driver as well as high speed of the offending vehicle," MACT member R V Mohite said in the order passed on Monday.

‘Was like Nirbhaya case': Man gets life forraping 11yo Dalit girl, burning private parts
Bareilly: A special Pocso court in Rampur has sentenced a 26-year-old man to rigorous life imprisonment for brutally raping an 11-year-old hearing and speech impaired Dalit girl and burning her private parts with cigarettes on the night of April 15, 2025. The minor survivor, who remained critical for months with "ruptured internal organs, including uterus", had to undergo at least three crucial surgeries in Rampur, Moradabad and Meerut. The court also imposed a hefty fine of Rs 6 lakh on the convict. "It was like Delhi's Nirbhaya case . The girl had about 14 injuries on her body -- externally, burns, bruises and deep scratches on her private parts, and her internal injuries were also very severe. She may not be able to recover at all," said special public prosecutor, Sumit Sharma. On April 15, she went missing from her village in Rampur district and was found without clothes and with gruesome injuries in a farm the next morning. She was unconscious, and in a critical condition, Sharma added. An FIR was registered under BNS section 65 (2) (rape of woman under 12 years of age), among others, along with the Pocso and SC/ST acts following a complaint by the survivor's mother. Rampur SP, Vidyasagar Mishra, set up three teams which apprehended the accused, Dan Singh Yadav, after a brief encounter on April 16. The accused, a labourer, was identified with the help of CCTV footage and forensic evidence, police said. "Five doctors, who operated upon her, gave their statements. A doctor at LLRM Medical College, Meerut, in her statement, said that during a medical examination, she found deep injuries on the girl's private parts... During the surgery, a complicated diversion route was created in the stomach via the intestines," Sharma said. Police submitted enough evidence that included CCTV footage, a packet of condoms, an empty liquor bottle and a beer can with Dan Singh's fingerprints from the crime scene. Based on the evidence, the court of ADJ Ramgopal Singh pronounced Dan Singh guilty and delivered the verdict on Monday evening. As per the court order, the fine amount will be provided to the survivor for treatment and rehabilitation, Sharma said. Meanwhile, the child's mother said, "Doctors told me that my daughter may not be able to live a normal life again. Dan Singh should have been hanged to death."
