Gorwa police
after he reportedly threatened her in public.
According to police sources, the accused, identified as

approximately four months ago and was arrested at that time.
However, on March 15, Rathod allegedly resumed contact with the complainant, repeatedly calling her and sending messages via WhatsApp and Instagram, urging her to drop the charges and agree to marry him.
The situation escalated on April 19, when Rathod allegedly confronted the woman in person. She had gone to a pharmacy when Rathod approached her and, according to her complaint, issued a chilling threat — demanding that she withdraw the case or he would strip and parade her in public.

Nexus with contractors? GDA set to transfer 76 supervisors
Ghaziabad: Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) is set to transfer 76 supervisors following persistent complaints of collusion with contractors in facilitating illegal construction. Residents also allege that supervisors, working in tandem with private builders, demand hefty sums to overlook unauthorised floors. GDA has around 200 supervisors in the seven zones under it, but its manual does not specify a maximum tenure for postings before an employee can be shifted. Many of the supervisors on the list have been posted in the same zone for more than five years. Officials admitted that supervisors posted in the same zones for years had formed "unholy alliances" with local realtors, and said the reshuffle aimed to curb the spread of illegal colonies, which have risen from 321 in 2021 to 351, occupying around 3,000 acres.

Supervisors are also tasked with checking the quality of construction materials and ensuring that all work is carried out in line with the approved plan. However, their nexus with contractors runs deep. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A Teaspoon Before Bed Burns Body Fat - Fit Into Your Clothes Again! Health & Family Click Here Undo A Vaishali resident told TOI, a contractor allegedly sought Rs 40,000 on behalf of a GDA official to allow his family to construct an additional floor in their two-storey flat. "We hired a private contractor, prepared a cost estimate, and even had construction material delivered," he said. But that evening, a GDA supervisor reached their house and warned the family that the work violated regulations. Unsure how to proceed, the family considered abandoning the plan. "But the contractor assured me it could be 'managed' for Rs 40,000. Construction went ahead without further interference. Only later did I realise the nexus between contractors and supervisors," he added. According to a GDA official, despite checks and balances, illegal construction has been unabated in the city. "We deduced that many of the supervisors are working in the same zone for years and have developed a nexus with contractors, allowing illegal construction. This nexus needs to be broken, for which GDA has prepared a list of 76 supervisors who will be transferred to other zones."

Extortion Call From Thailand: Gang Busted, Three Arrested
New Delhi: Three friends, including a graduate from London School of Economics, were arrested for allegedly making a Rs 2-crore extortion call by impersonating well-known gangster Himanshu Bhau. Police said the trio was in debt and devised the plot to repay it. They travelled to Thailand to buy international SIM cards, which they used to send the threats, hoping it would appear more convincing and help them evade law agencies, police said. The accused, identified as Sumit (42), Prince (35) and Nitish (31), were businessmen and residents of west Delhi. A businessman based in central Delhi filed a complaint claiming that he had received a threatening international WhatsApp call from an unknown number. The caller, claiming to be Bhau, sent a QR code for a cryptocurrency payment of Rs 2 crore. He also threatened that the businessman's children would be killed if the demands were not met.

"One of them, Nitish, holds a master's degree in a course related to software management from London School of Economics," he added. Two mobile phones used to generate the cryptocurrency QR code and make the call were also seized, Valsan said. All three accused told police that they were heavily in debt and plotted the call to pay it off in an easy way. Sumit, who runs a jewellery business, was well acquainted with the complainant and his family. To instil fear, they used Bhau's name. They devised the plot in India, said police. "Sumit was in debt of around Rs 60 lakh, Nitish owed Rs 10-20 lakh and Prince had liabilities amounting to Rs 1-2 crore," an officer said. Nitish was involved in the tour and travel industry while Prince was engaged in the finance sector. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
