3 domestic helps held for violent heist in Ambabari
Jaipur: City police Monday arrested three men who posed as domestic helps and fled with Rs 1.5 after committing a violent robbery at a house in the Ambabari area of Vidhyadhar Nagar on March 3.
The accused tied up and assaulted a 45-year-old woman before decamping with diamond-studded gold jewellery worth several lakhs.According to SHO (Vidhyadhar Nagar) Rakesh Khyaliya, the accused worked under false identities and targeted affluent households. "They earned the trust of their employers and then executed the crime with precision. A manhunt was launched across the city, and after examining scores of CCTV camera footage, we managed to arrest them. Several stolen valuables have been recovered," said Khyaliya.The accused were identified as Inderjeet Kumar Gupta, Ashok Mandal, and Radheshyam Mandal — all residents of Bihar. Police said the trio assaulted the woman at her residence on April 3, tied her hands, gagged her, and fled with jewellery and other items. Crime scene investigators found broken locks and bloodstains, pointing to a violent struggle.Investigations revealed a clear modus operandi. The men would secure jobs as domestic workers under fake names, often using forged documents. After gaining the household's trust, they would strike and vanish. Post-crime, they switched off their phones and used mobile devices of strangers — such as bus conductors or fellow travellers — to evade tracking. After the Ambabari robbery, they fled Rajasthan and crossed into Nepal, using local SIM cards to communicate.Based on technical inputs, police teams were formed and deployed across different locations. Inderjeet was apprehended in Agra, while Ashok and Radheshyam were arrested in Bihar with the help of local police.

Delay in reporting unaccounted money lands man in trouble as SC refuses protection from arrest
Reporting an unexplained deposit in a bank account months after it first appeared can put account holders in serious legal trouble — this was made clear by the Supreme Court on Monday when it dismissed a man's petition for anticipatory bail in a cyber fraud case. The petitioner, a resident of Shivnagar in Bihar's Nawada, was summoned by Delhi Police in connection with a cyber fraud conspiracy. He alleged his bank account was misused by his tenant, who hacked it under the pretext of online transfer of a small loan. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 청담동 원장님이 말하는 "기미 잡티" 해결하는 법 두아이연구원 Undo Petitioner delayed approaching police by 4 months During the hearing, a bench of Justices Sandeep Mehta and P.B. Varale asked a key question — when the petitioner first noticed the deposit and when he chose to approach the police. The bench was told the deposit of Rs 20 lakh came into his account in September last year, but it was only in January — nearly four months later — that the petitioner informed the authorities. Live Events The judges held this delay against him and dismissed his bail application. The court also observed that the deposit was not a solitary transaction. Multiple transactions adding up to over Rs 5 crore flowed into his account in a single day from different sources across the country, and 13 cases were registered in connection with these transactions. Funds routed through account within hours Investigations revealed the amount was routed through his account and into at least three other accounts within hours. Delhi's cyber police registered the FIR under Section 318(4) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, following a complaint from a representative of Starcon Infra Projects India Pvt Ltd, alleging fraud. The petitioner insisted he was not involved in the fraud and was running a subsidised canteen for paramilitary forces with no criminal history. His lawyer argued that the transactions were made without his knowledge and consent. However, the Supreme Court dismissed these submissions and upheld the view that the delay in notifying authorities raised suspicion and called for further investigation into his role.

Sambhal MP deposits Rs 6 lakh as fine to electricity dept to restore supply
Sambhal: Sambhal Samajwadi Party MP, Ziaur Rahman Barq deposited Rs 6 lakh with the electricity department on Tuesday as directed by the High Court, paving the way for the restoration of power supply at his house. The case dates back to December 17, 2024, when a smart meter was installed at Barq's residence in Sambhal's Deepa Sarai area. Two days later, on December 19, the electricity department conducted a load inspection and subsequently alleged that Barq was involved in electricity theft. Following the inspection, officials claimed that Barq's residence was consuming over 16 kilowatts of electricity, well beyond the sanctioned limit. An Meter Reading Instrument test also reportedly indicated zero consumption for several months, prompting the department to impose a hefty fine of Rs 1.91 crore and register a formal case of electricity theft. Despite repeated notices, officials said Barq failed to respond, prompting him to approach the High Court. On June 3, the High Court ordered that the MP must first deposit Rs 6 lakh as an interim measure, after which the electricity connection should be restored. Complying with the court's order, Barq's advocate, Farid Ahmed, reached the powerhouse on Tuesday and submitted a demand draft of Rs 6 lakh, along with an application requesting immediate restoration of the electricity supply. Speaking on the matter, advocate Farid Ahmed said, "The court had directed us to deposit Rs 6 lakh first to get the connection restored. We have submitted that today and hope the power supply will resume soon." Executive Engineer of the Electricity Department, Naveen Gautam, said, "Action was taken based on a complaint of power theft at the MP's premises. Today, a demand draft of Rs 6 lakh has been deposited as per the court's direction. His power connection is being restored today itself." The High Court is now scheduled to hear the matter on July 2, where the legality of the fine and other related issues will be examined. Meanwhile, Barq has maintained that he was not given an adequate opportunity to present his side of the story.

Faridabad senior citizen duped of Rs 25 lakh in IPO cyber fraud, 3 held
The Faridabad cybercrime police Tuesday arrested three men from Gujarat in connection with a sophisticated online fraud involving Rs 25.35 lakh perpetrated under the guise of initial public offering (IPO) investments. The accused have been identified as Jilraj, 19, from Vartej in Bhavnagar, Gujarat; Bhavesh Bhai Longadiya, 22, from Alanagar in Bhavnagar; and Divyraj Manhar Bhai Langabadra from Botad. The trio allegedly facilitated the scam by providing bank accounts used to siphon off the victim's money. According to a police spokesperson, the case came to light after Deepak Mehta, 73, a resident of Sector-19, Faridabad, lodged a complaint with the central cyber police station. The complainant alleged that he was lured into the scam through a WhatsApp message offering discounted IPO share subscriptions under the name 'HDFC Securities'. He was subsequently added to a WhatsApp group named 'HDFC Securities Official', where regular updates on stocks and IPO investments were shared to gain his trust, as per the complaint. The victim was then allegedly directed to open an account on an app called 'HDFC VIP' for IPO investments. Over time, he allegedly invested Rs 25,35,322 through multiple transactions, acting on instructions and with the belief that the money was being used to buy heavily discounted shares in the IPOs of companies like Ola Electric. However, when he attempted to withdraw his funds, he was unable to do so. Realising he had been duped, he complained to the police. The police filed a case under relevant sections for cheating and fraud. During interrogation, the police discovered that Jilraj had opened a bank account in the name of Udit and transferred it to Divyraj, who then handed it over to Bhavesh. Bhavesh then allegedly provided the account to the fraudsters orchestrating the scam. The police said Jilraj is a graduate, Divyraj completed Class 12, and Bhavesh is pursuing a BSc degree. The primary account holder, Kuldeep, allegedly received Rs 1.5 lakh of the defrauded amount. Kuldeep, along with Udit and Varun, were arrested earlier in the investigation. The three newly arrested accused were produced before a local court and remanded in judicial custody.
