Fake doctor, real fugitive: Delhi conman busted while posing as AIIMS doctor in Haridwar; arrested after 10 years
NEW DELHI: For a decade, Delhi Police's Crime Branch had been chasing notorious conman Raj Kumar Sharma, wanted in multiple cases of cheating and forgery. The accused had disappeared, leaving deceit and financial crimes in his wake. His long-standing trickery — living a double life as a doctor — came to an end, however, when the cops tracked him to Haridwar in Uttarakhand. The pursuit began with a tip-off about Sharma's whereabouts. The Crime Branch team posed as patients, sought an appointment with the doctor and verified his identity. On the intervening night of June 11 and 12, the team nabbed him from his house in Haridwar. Sanjeev Yadav, DCP (Crime Branch), confirmed his arrest. "During interrogation, Sharma revealed his long-standing efforts to evade the law enforcement agencies. He frequently changed his appearances, address and mobile number to avoid detection. The accused had been living a double life, posing as a doctor in Haridwar while hiding his notorious past as a conman in Delhi," said Yadav. After being declared a proclaimed offender nearly a decade ago, Sharma built a new identity for himself in Haridwar. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo He posed as a doctor of AIIMS Rishikesh and was locally known as "Doctor sahib". During a search at his residence, police confirmed he had been living as a respected medical professional, despite having no verified healthcare qualifications. Sharma's history of deceit dates back to 2007, when he was involved in a cheating and forgery case registered at the Crime Branch police station. He, along with five others, duped govt banks by taking vehicle loans on forged documents. He and his associates were arrested and a car obtained through fraudulent financing was also recovered from him. However, during the trial, Sharma stopped appearing in court and was declared a proclaimed offender in Dec 2016. In another case registered in 2015, Sharma cheated a person out of Rs 14 lakh by selling a plot with forged documents. "He defrauded two individuals by selling them a plot of land using forged ownership papers. To delay action, Sharma issued a cheque of Rs 26 lakh drawn on a bank account that had been closed years earlier," a senior cop revealed. The accused's profile reveals a man with a complex past. Born in Bulandshahr, UP, in 1973, Sharma studied up to BA from Meghalaya University. After graduation, he started publishing monthly magazines and newspapers in north Delhi's Burari. At present, he had no source of income and depended on ancestral agricultural income besides the fees from patients, cops said. The Crime Branch team, led by inspectors Mangesh Tyagi and Robin Tyagi and supervised by ACP Arvind Kumar, had been tracking the fugitive but he managed to remain under cover for a long time.

In Bareilly, Pakistan woman booked for forging Aadhaar, ration cards
A Pakistani national living in Bareilly on a long-term visa (LTV) has been charged with obtaining forged identity documents, including the Aadhaar and ration cards. A formal FIR has been lodged against the woman, identified as Farhat Sultana, at the Baradari police station of the district, officials confirmed. The matter came to light during an ongoing verification drive, initiated on the instructions of senior superintendent of police (SSP) Anurag Arya, that aimed at identifying people from Pakistan and Bangladesh, and the Rohingya community illegally living in the district. Sub-inspector Saurabh Tomar, posted at the Baradari police station, filed the complaint after uncovering the fraudulent documents during routine checks under Operation Khoj. According to the FIR, Farhat entered India on an LTV and settled in the Sufi Tola locality of Baradari after marrying a local resident, Shahid Khalil. Exploiting her status and manipulating official records, Farhat managed to obtain an Aadhaar card using fake information. She went a step further by portraying herself as the head of a family to get a ration card issued in her name, thereby gaining access to subsidized food grains and other officials are now investigating how a foreign national, who has not been granted Indian citizenship, managed to procure official Indian identification documents. The involvement of local officials or agents in facilitating the creation of these forged documents is also under scrutiny. SSP Anurag Arya said, 'Following the details secured under Operation Khoj, an FIR has been registered against a Pakistani national living in Bareilly on a long-term visa under BNS section 318(4) (cheating) and section 17 of the Citizenship Act, 1955. The entire matter is being investigated in detail. Strict legal action will be taken not only against the Pakistani national but also against those who assisted her in committing this fraud.'

Bangladesh: Yunus hints at holding elections in early February
Dhaka [Bangladesh], June 14 (ANI): Muhammad Yunus, the Chief Adviser of Bangladesh's interim government, has hinted at holding national elections in early February next year. 'The Chief Adviser said that he has announced that the elections will be held by the first half of February next year. If all preparations are completed, the elections could be held even in the week before the start of Ramadan in 2026,' said a joint statement issued after the talks between Muhammad Yunus and Acting BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman in London. 'In that case, it will be necessary to achieve sufficient progress on reform and justice within that period,' it added. 'Today, BNP Acting Chairperson Mr. Tarique Rahman met with visiting Chief Adviser Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus in London. Their meeting was held in a very cordial atmosphere,' the statement said. Tarique Rahman proposed to the Chief Adviser to hold the elections before Ramadan next year. Party Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia also thinks it would be better if the elections were held at that time, the statement added. Many are considering the London meeting between Muhammad Yunus and Tarique Rahman as a game-changer for Bangladeshi politics. Right now, former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia's BNP is the largest Political Party in Bangladesh, as Sheikh Hasina's Awami League is banned from running. Tarique Rahman, the son of Khaleda Zia, seems set to return soon to Bangladesh after 16 years in exile in London. Muhammad Yunus is now in London in a four-day official visit. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer declined to meet Yunus after Awami League concerns. Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina was ousted in a student-led uprising in August last year. She is now living in India in a self-imposed exile. After Sheikh Hasina's fall, an interim government was formed under leadership of Muhammad Yunus, a Nobel Laureate. (ANI)
