Senior Health Ministry Official Scammed Of Rs 27 Lakhs In Currency Market Investment Fraud
The victim alleged that he was informed the money would be invested and traded in the currency market, with a promise to return double the principal amount within one year. A senior Union Health Ministry official was scammed of Rs 27 lakhs on the pretext of investing his money in the currency market, reported ANI, citing Delhi police officials. In the complaint, the victim alleged that he was told by the fraudster that his money will double in a year. The incident dates back to 2023, when the accused approached and convinced the official to invest his money. 'Victim alleged that he informed him that he is investing & trading the money in the currency market, and he would return double the principal amount to the complainant within a span of one year. Hence, on this allurement and inducement, he agreed to give him an amount of twenty-seven lakhs," Delhi police said. A complaint was filed at the South district's cyber police station on August 11, and the police have booked the accused under sections 308/318(4)/319/340. The incident comes to light only a few days after three men, including one graduate from the London School of Economics, were arrested by a joint team of PS DBG Road and PS Cyber, Central District, Delhi Police, in connection with a money extortion case. The group, who were traced to Thailand, used to scam people by extorting money through international WhatsApp calls and cryptocurrency payments. They pretended to belong to a notorious gangster to instill fear in their victims. In a separate incident that took place in Mumbai on August 16, the police arrested four cyber fraudsters for allegedly duping a businessman from Mumbai of Rs 5.24 crore by posing as executives of a Dubai-based investment company. The incident surfaced when the accused invited the victim to Dubai, only for the victim to discover that the company did not actually exist. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Big threat for India! After Operation Sindoor, Pakistan's terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed launches..., plans 313....
Big threat for India! After Operation Sindoor, Pakistan's terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed launches..., plans 313.... Several months after Operation Sindoor, the Pakistan-based terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed is getting ready to once again revive its destroyed training camps and hideouts. To rebuild its terrorist infrastructure, JeM has announced a major fundraising campaign, as reported by India Today. Twenty-six civilians were killed in the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, after which India retaliated through precision strikes under Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). What is Jaish-e-Mohammed's plan after Operation Sindoor? India, on May 7, executed Operation Sindoor, in which nine terror sites deep inside Pakistan were destroyed in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 innocents were killed. According to the IndiaToday report, more than 100 terrorists were killed in the operation. How many new markaz is JeM planning to set up in Pakistan? After the operation, intelligence reports indicate that Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) is attempting to restore and expand its terrorist infrastructure, reported IndiaToday. JeM is attempting to raise 3.91 billion Pakistani rupees to build 313 new markaz throughout Pakistan. The facilities are supposed to serve as training centers for new recruits and as safe houses for JeM chief Masood Azhar and his family. The fundraising campaign is led by Masood Azhar, responsible for a series of terrorist attacks in India over the decades, and his brother Talha Al Saif, who has been actively soliciting donations from their followers. To avoid detection, JeM is utilizing digital wallets, such as EasyPaisa and SadaPay, and linking the accounts to mobile numbers of Azhar's relatives, including his son Abdullah Azhar, reported India Today. Story Highlights Months after Operation Sindoor, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) is attempting to restore and expand its terrorist infrastructure. The fundraising campaign is led by Masood Azhar. Twenty-six civilians were killed in the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir. JeM is attempting to raise 3.91 billion Pakistani rupees to build 313 new markaz throughout Pakistan. Apart from online avenues of donation, JeM commanders are also soliciting funds in mosques each Friday. Though the donations are claimed to be purely humanitarian aid for Gaza, some officials suspect the funds are actually being used to help support JeM's own mission.

FIR ordered against Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh, 3 others
Varanasi: A court here has directed the police to register a case of fraud against Bhojpuri film actor-singer Pawan Singh and three others following a complaint by a local hotelier. The order was passed by the court of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-II after hearing an application filed by businessman Vishal Singh. The development has now come to light. Vishal Singh's counsel, Ashish Singh alleged that his client was duped in the name of investment in the 2018 film 'Boss'. According to the lawyer, Vishal Singh met Mumbai-based film director Prem Shankar Rai in 2017, after which he was introduced to several people associated with the project. It was alleged that Vishal Singh was persuaded to invest in the film with a promise of profit, and even a meeting with Pawan Singh was arranged to convince him. The complainant claimed that he deposited about Rs 32.60 lakh from his and his brother's firm into different accounts. In July 2018, he was declared a producer of the film and assured 50 per cent of the profits. Later, he invested another Rs 1.25 crore in the project. However, despite the film's release, Vishal Singh was allegedly not given his share of the profit. The businessman further alleged that when he demanded his dues, actor Pawan Singh threatened to kill him. The complainant approached the Cantonment police station and the police commissioner with his grievance. After no action was taken, he moved the court, which directed police to register an FIR against Pawan Singh and three others under fraud charges.
