'Digital arrest': Punjab police bust Rs 92 crore-nationwide racket; 6 arrested, 2 on the run
Punjab police bust Rs 92 crore 'digital arrest' scam (Image credits: ANI) NEW DELHI: Punjab Police have busted a nationwide Rs 92-crore 'digital arrest' racket, exposing two organised gangs running elaborate cyber-enabled financial frauds. The breakthrough came after coordinated raids across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Gujarat, which led to the identification of ten suspects. Six have been arrested, two are already in jail and will be brought on production warrants, while two remain on the run. In a press release, police said the gangs posed as senior police officers, CBI officials, or other law-enforcement authorities over the phone. Victims were falsely accused in fabricated criminal cases and threatened with a so-called 'digital arrest' unless they transferred large sums of money. The scam spanned several states, including a Rs 3-crore fraud targeting residents of SAS Nagar. The case stems from two FIRs lodged at the SAS Nagar Cyber Crime Police Station, Phase-7. Investigators have frozen or closed 310 bank accounts linked to the racket and connected the suspects to a Rs 12.5-crore fraud case registered in Bengaluru under Sections 318(4) and 319(2) of the BNS, and Sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the IT Act. Over the past four months, SAS Nagar Cyber Crime Police have dismantled six illegal call centres, arrested 41 people- including seven foreign nationals- and seized laptops, mobile phones, SIM cards, ATM cards, and multiple bank accounts. They have also cracked a honey-trap case, arrested the mastermind of a fake Railway job racket that duped 25 people, refunded Rs 4.12 crore to victims, and blocked scams worth Rs 2 crore through timely alerts to banks. SSP Harmandeep Singh Hans said the operation was more than just making arrests — it showcased Punjab Police's strong commitment to protecting citizens from cybercrime. He added that their efforts will continue to target such networks, recover stolen money, and ensure every offender is brought to justice.

Hit by mortar shell, but still fighting—BSF heroes of Op Sindoor honoured with gallantry medals
Then again, in the early hours of 10 May, multiple Pakistani drones were sighted in the area. Troops under the command of Sub-Inspector Mohammed Imteyaj neutralised one such drone. But soon after, a mortar shell possibly dropped using the drones exploded, grievously injuring five BSF jawans. Yet, they continued retaliating. According to the citations, on the intervening night of 7-8 May, Pakistani troops resorted to heavy shelling, targeting BSF outposts using flat and high trajectory weapons, followed by a drone attack. The Kharkola border outpost, barely 200 metres from the international border, was among Indian military installations that came under intense fire. New Delhi: A head constable and three constables deployed at the highly sensitive Kharkola border outpost were among 16 Border Security Force (BSF) jawans honoured with gallantry medals by the President of India this Independence Day, for display of exemplary courage during Operation Sindoor. They are Head Constable Brij Mohan Singh, Constables Depeswar Barman, Bhupendra Bajpai, Rajan Kumar and Basavaraja Shivappa Sunkada. Another recipient, Assistant Commandant Abhishek Srivastav, posted at this border outpost as part of his probation training, rushed to help the injured BSF jawans and post commander, eventually evacuating them from the area. However, SI Imteyaj later succumbed to injuries. Also among the gallantry medal recipients were SI Vyas Dev and Constable Suddi Rabha, both deployed in Jammu. SI Dev and Constable Rabha sustained injuries after a mortar shell exploded near them. According to BSF, SI Dev even after suffering life-threatening injuries remained conscious, stabilised himself and kept motivating fellow jawans. His left leg had to be amputated. Constable Rabha, meanwhile, sustained severe blast trauma-deep lacerations in the perineal region, injuries to thighs, left leg, and right ankle. Other gallantry medal recipients include Assistant Sub-Inspector Rajappa B.T. and Constable Manohar Xalxo. Engaged in critical resupply of arms in Jammu, both were injured when a mortar shell exploded near them. ASI Rajappa succumbed to fatal splinter injuries. ASI Udai Vir Singh, also posted in Jammu, successfully destroyed a Pakistani surveillance camera on 10 May, preventing Pakistani troops from real-time monitoring of border outposts and troop movement. ASI Singh was grievously injured when a shrapnel hit his upper lip but he continued to engage the enemy, refusing immediate evacuation. Deputy Commandant Ravindra Rathore, Inspector Devi Lal, Head Constable Sahib Singh, Constable Kanwaraj Singh and Assistant Commandant Alok Negi are the other BSF jawans honoured with the gallantry medal on the occasion of the 79th Independence Day.
