Ex-MLA's wife, associates booked in multi-state cyber fraud case
Rajkot: A criminal case has been registered at the Junagadh Range Cyber police station against Hiralba Jadeja, wife of former MLA Bhura Munja Jadeja, and her associates Naitik Mavani, Sachin Mehta, and Hitesh Odedra. The case was filed on May 30 by police sub-inspector HJ Barad under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology Act. According to the complaint, the accused allegedly duped three people — Pratap Bharad, Paras Joshi and Bharat Sutreja — by forging documents and bills to set up fictitious firms using their GST credentials. The accused then opened current accounts in various banks using false documentation and fraudulently obtained blank cheques and RTGS forms signed by the victims. These accounts were reportedly used to carry out illegal financial transactions through 22 different bank accounts. The case came to light following an investigation prompted by a request from the Porbandar Cyber Crime police station. The probe revealed that three companies — Arham Commodity, Vithal Plus Commodity and Bharat Enterprise — had been fraudulently registered in the names of Pratap Bharad, Paras Joshi and Bharat Sutreja respectively. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The complaint further stated that Hiralba Jadeja first approached Pratap Bharad in July 2023 with a proposal to start a warehouse business. After securing his Aadhaar and PAN card details, her associates Sachin Mehta and Naitik Mavani allegedly orchestrated the creation of forged documents in Junagadh, signed a rental agreement in the name of Arham Commodities and opened bank accounts without Bharad's knowledge. They also obtained his signatures on blank cheques and RTGS forms at Trident Plaza and conducted significant financial transactions through the accounts. The same fraudulent scheme was carried out with Paras Joshi and Bharat Sutreja. In a recent incident, Naitik Mavani reportedly accompanied Paras Joshi to Axis Bank under the pretext of purchasing an insurance policy, during which unauthorized bills under Vithal Plus Commodities were submitted as the firm's account was being closed. Investigating officer Jatin Patel confirmed that the cyber cell has so far identified 22 bank accounts across more than eight financial institutions. Authorities are now awaiting detailed bank statements to determine the total amount of money deposited and the timeline of the transactions. Authorities have so far linked 83 cyber fraud complaints to these firms, spanning across 18 states including Delhi, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Goa, Gujarat, Jammu & Kashmir, West Bengal, Odisha, Puducherry and Kerala.

US says trade row with China could ease after Trump-Xi talks
A logjam in the trade talks between the United States and China could be broken once Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping speak, US officials said Sunday -- a conversation they said could happen soon. Trump on Friday accused Beijing of violating a deal reached last month in Geneva to temporarily lower staggeringly high tariffs the world's two biggest economies had imposed on each other, in a pause to last 90 days. China's slow-walking on export license approvals for rare earths and other elements needed to make cars and chips have fueled US frustration, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday -- a concern since confirmed by US officials.

"I'm confident that when President Trump and Party Chairman Xi have a call that this will be ironed out," Bessent said, however noting that China was "withholding some of the products that they agreed to release during our agreement." Live Events When asked if rare earths were one of those products, Bessent said, "Yes." "Maybe it's a glitch in the Chinese system. Maybe it's intentional. We'll see after the president speaks with" Xi, he said. On when a Trump-Xi call could take place, Bessent said: "I believe we will see something very soon." Kevin Hassett, director of the White House's National Economic Council told ABC that the call could happen "this week" but that he had no confirmation of a scheduled time. Since Trump returned to the presidency, he has slapped sweeping tariffs on most US trading partners, with especially high rates on Chinese imports. New tit-for-tat levies on both sides reached three digits before the de-escalation this month, where Washington agreed to temporarily reduce additional tariffs on Chinese imports from 145 percent to 30 percent. China, meanwhile, lowered its added duties from 125 percent to 10 percent. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told "Fox News Sunday" that China was "slow-rolling the deal," adding: "We are taking certain actions to show them what it feels like on the other side of that equation." "Our president understands what to do. He's going to go work it out," Lutnick said. Lutnick also said that a US court battle over Trump's tariff strategy -- one court's ruling to block the tariffs has been stayed pending an appeal -- would ultimately end with a win for the president. "Tariffs are not going away," Lutnick said. - 'We've got to be ready' - Separate from the China deal, Trump said Friday he would double sector-specific tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50 percent starting June 4 -- sparking ire from the European Union, which said it would retaliate. Hassett said China's dumping of low-cost steel was hurting US industry -- which in turn was hindering US military preparedness. "The bottom line is that we've got to be ready in case things don't happen the way we want, because if we have cannons but not cannonballs, then we can't fight a war," Hassett told "This Week." "And if we don't have steel, then the US isn't ready, and we're not preparing ourselves for something," he added. "We have to have a steel industry that's ready for American defense."

Victoria's Secret hit by cyberattack; company says, ‘we have taken down our website and…'
Victoria's Secret has suspended all online orders due to a suspected cyberattack, though its brick-and-mortar stores remain operational. Despite a spokesperson reportedly confirming that third-party cybersecurity experts have been retained to address the issue, the lingerie company declined to provide details on the attack's nature or the expected resolution timeline. The identity of the attackers is not yet known. This disruption follows a recent warning from Google that a cybercriminal group responsible for significant disruptions to British retailers had begun targeting major American brands. According to a report by NBC News, Victoria's Secret 's website has been replaced with a generic message and no links since last week. The message reads: 'Valued customer, we identified and are taking steps to address a security incident. We have taken down our website and some in store services as a precaution. Our team is working around the clock to fully restore operations. We appreciate your patience during this process.' What Google warned about cyberattackers targeting America brands In April, a cyberattack campaign targeting British retailers began and followed a consistent method. According to Google, a loosely affiliated group of predominantly young, English-speaking men, known in cybersecurity circles as Scattered Spider, deceived employees at these companies into revealing credentials for sensitive systems. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Grezzana: L'ultima soluzione acustica svizzera: ingegnosa e quasi invisibile Migliora Udito Undo Scattered Spider then reportedly passed that access to a criminal organization calling itself DragonForce, which extorts victims by threatening to release stolen data. This year, three British retailers confirmed they were hit by cyberattacks: Marks & Spencer suspended online orders for several weeks; the Co-op Group suffered a major customer data breach; and Harrods experienced only brief service interruptions. These attacks seem similar to the incidents that took place in 2023 against two major Las Vegas casino operators, in which MGM Resorts endured widespread outages, which ranged from hotel keycard failures to casino floor closures, after Scattered Spider allegedly granted access to a Russian-speaking criminal syndicate.
