Decomposed Bodies Of Pakistani Man And Minor Girl Found Near Border In Jaisalmer
Last Updated:
The bodies, reportedly a week old, were found about 10 to 12 kilometers inside the Indian border in Tanot and Sadhewala area.
In a shocking incident, two decomposed bodies a minor girl and a young man, reportedly of Pakistan, have been found on the sand dunes near India-Pakistan border in Rajasthan's Jaisalmer.
The bodies, reportedly a week old, were found about 10 to 12 kilometers inside the Indian border in Tanot and Sadhewala area.
According to news agency IANS, Pakistani mobile SIM and identity cards were found with both the young man and the girl, which confirmed their Pakistani citizenship.
As per their identity cards, both were under 20 years of age. The young man has been identified as Ravi Kumar (18) and the girl as Shanti Bai (15).
It is suspected that they might have crossed the border and entered India around a week ago.
As soon as the information about the bodies being found was received, senior police and Border Security Force (BSF) officials reached the spot.
The BSF has carried out an intensive search operation in the entire border area, but no traces or footprints of infiltration into Indian territory from across the border have been found. The BSF is also contacting the Foreigners Registration Office (FRO) to get information about the two.
Prima facie, it seems that both of them died due to getting lost and hunger and thirst, as per the local reports. However, the real cause of death is not clear yet. The police have kept the bodies in Ramgarh mortuary and are waiting for the post-mortem report, which will reveal the cause of death.
Police and security agencies are investigating the case and are trying to identify the bodies and find out the reasons behind the incident.

Lindenwold, NJ, Police, who first learned of her disappearance on Wednesday, said she didn't appear to be in distress in the video.

Pune matrimonial fraud widens as five more women from Delhi, Mumbai approach police
1 2 3 Pune: Cyber crime investigators in the city said they've now been approached by five more women who said they've been cheated by an Australia-based Indian man who was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly duping a Pune techie of Rs 3.6 crore in a case of matrimonial fraud. "The five women are mostly from Mumbai and Delhi. We have requested them to formally record statements at the police station," said senior inspector of Pune cyber police Swapnali Shinde, leading the investigation into Abhishek Shukla (42), who investigators said may have contacted over 3,000 women through fake profiles on a matrimonial website. He is an OCI (Overseas Citizenship of India) card holder. Shukla had flown from Singapore to Mumbai when he was arrested at Mumbai airport on June 25, by immigration authorities acting on a lookout circular (LOC) issued by Pune police. Shukla is the main suspect in a complaint that was lodged last November by the Pune techie (40) who claimed a man named 'Dr Rohit Oberoi' had proposed to her online and later cheated her of Rs 3.6 crore, by promising to invest her money in a Singapore-based start-up. The complainant is originally from Delhi.

We have sought details of all these profiles from the matrimonial company," inspector Shinde said. The police officer said Shukla worked as a researcher with an Australian university and even has a PhD in business administration. "He also holds a patent for an online system that screens movies. He used this system to screen Hindi movies in the UAE and other countries and run a successful company," Shinde said. She added: "He looked very smart in his photo, with the wig. Our original complainant, the Pune woman, also did not realise he was bald," Shinde said, adding that the victim was promised high returns on her investment by Shukla. "He convinced her that he could help scale up her business to a global level. He even arranged for 'investors' identified as 'Ivon Handayani' and 'Vincent Kuan', who were apparently from Singapore. This was a set up. We have evidence to show 'Handayani' and 'Kuan' don't exist and that these were digital identities being operated by Shukla," Shinde said.

GCC robs people of high parking costs
Chennai: Despite Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) warning TEXCO for charging exorbitant parking costs, the latter's staff continue to fleece residents—up to six times the original parking cost of 20. After TOI broke a story in April on how the Tamil Nadu ex-servicemen corporation (TEXCO) was collecting money from residents even without a formal tender or contract being in place, the GCC formalised an agreement with TEXCO. They restricted the firm's ambit to just ten locations at flat rates of 20 per hour for cars, 5 for bikes, and 60 for heavy vehicles. The GCC also ordered TEXCO to stop collecting cash and handed them POS devices with QR code facilities. Two months later, staff continue to charge up to 120 for just two hours—and in cash. According to bills accessed by TOI, one dated June 25 at a location in T Nagar stated the charge was 30 per hour. The person had parked for two hours, yet the final amount on the bill was 120. While the 30 per hour itself was illegal, the resident ended up being charged six times the approved rate. In another bill from June 9, one hour of parking was shown to cost 60, three times the prescribed charge. Clueless residents, eager to get out of congested parking spots, paid without protest. "The staff said if I pay by cash, it's 40, whereas if I pay online, it is 60. I ended up paying online. The money went to an Indian bank account linked to GCC," said one motorist.

This meant that from the start of the contract in July until its expiry in December, expected revenue was around 19.8 crore. But in December 2024, TEXCO officially declared only 1.75 crore. "It is not known if the cash collected by staff was fully accounted for," said civic activist Swadish Bharathi. Revenue officials explained that although the account is linked to GCC, TEXCO withdraws funds to cover administration, maintenance, and manpower costs, leaving only the net surplus for the civic body. "The parking contract with TEXCO has to be abolished. I will take it up with the commissioner and also raise it in the council. These complaints cannot be recurring," said Deputy mayor Mahesh Kumar.
