Siblings booked in Rs 12 lakh fraud case
Times News Network
Ludhiana: The Malhotra siblings, who owned an immigration office, have been booked for duping a resident of Moga of Rs 12 lakh on the pretext of arranging a UK study visa.
The FIR has been lodged by Model Town Police on the complaint of Gurmeet Singh of Moga against Amit Malhotra and his sister Veenu Malhotra.
The victim filed a police complaint on September 24, 2024 saying that he wanted to go to the United Kingdom on study visa, for which he approached the accused. The accused accepted Rs 12 lakh from him but did not arrange a visa. He did not return the money either.
Sub-inspector Parminder Singh, investigating officer, said that the police lodged an FIR under sections 420 (cheating) and 120-B (criminal intimidation) of the IPC against the duo. The accused are already facing multiple FIRs in similar fraud cases.

Stay away from sealed plane crash site, let probe proceed unhindered: Guj DGP appeals
Relief, rescue, and investigation efforts continue in full swing across the devastated site in Ahmedabad following the crash of Air India flight AI-171. Authorities have now sealed the entire crash zone to preserve evidence and facilitate a thorough probe. Gujarat Director General of Police (DGP) Vikas Sahay has urged citizens and onlookers to refrain from approaching the crash site, while the state's Home Minister has assured grieving families that personal belongings recovered from the wreckage will be carefully returned. In a public statement, Gujarat DGP said: 'We are grateful to all local residents and volunteers who assisted in immediate rescue operations. However, over the past two days, the crash site has been cordoned off to allow investigators to collect critical evidence. We request everyone to stay away from the area to avoid any disruption in the investigation process.' The appeal came amid concerns that civilian movement near the crash zone could compromise forensic and aviation-related findings being gathered by Indian and international teams. Quoting the DGP's message, Minister Harsh Sanghavi posted on social media platform X: 'Items recovered from the crash site will be carefully documented and returned to the families of the deceased. Our teams are working meticulously to identify and safeguard these personal effects.' He emphasised that the government recognises the emotional value of these belongings and is committed to returning them 'as soon as possible". Coordination is ongoing with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and Air India to streamline this sensitive process. With Boeing representatives and American investigative agencies already in Ahmedabad, the crash site has become a hub of high-level activity. Officials from India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) are leading the technical analysis, with support from state and central forensic and disaster teams. Meanwhile, following the tragic Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, the hostels of B.J. Medical College that sustained structural damage are being vacated to facilitate the official investigation by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB). Addressing the media, Dr. Minakshi Parikh, Dean of B.J. Medical College, said: 'All four Atulyam hostels have either been vacated or are in the process of being cleared as the AAIB team requires full access for its investigation.' She outlined the relocation plans for the affected medical residents. 'Accommodation for all displaced postgraduate doctors has been arranged. The 33 doctors from Atulyam-1 and five from UN Mehta Hospital have been moved to the postgraduate wings A, D, and B of the UN Mehta Hostel. From Atulyam-2 and 3, where 100 GCRI doctors were residing, 52 have been shifted to the previously unused old GCRI building, and 50 rooms have been rented for one year to house the remaining 48.'

NIA chargesheets 3 in Punjab police post grenade attack, links it to Khalistan Zindabad Force
In a significant breakthrough in its ongoing crackdown on terror networks, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) Saturday filed a chargesheet against three people in connection with the grenade attack at a police post in Punjab's SBS Nagar district in December 2024. The attack has been linked to a wider conspiracy orchestrated by the banned Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) terror outfit. The accused, Yugpreet Singh alias Yuvi Nihung, Jaskaran Singh alias Shah, and Harjot Singh alias Jot Hundal, all residents of Rahon village in SBS Nagar, have been booked under multiple sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), the Explosive Substances Act, and other relevant laws. As part of a broader investigation, the NIA has also initiated proceedings against KZF chief and designated individual terrorist (DIT) Ranjit Singh alias Neeta, along with operative Jagjit Singh Lahiri alias Jagga, Jagga Miapur, Hari Singh, who is currently based in the United Kingdom, and other unidentified foreign-based handlers. The NIA, which took over the probe from Punjab Police in March, uncovered that Jagga allegedly recruited Yugpreet Singh through a UK-based acquaintance, radicalised him via encrypted messaging apps, and provided him over Rs 36 lakh in terror funds. These funds were reportedly routed through a network of Canada-based entities that have since been identified and examined. Yugpreet, in turn, recruited the other two accused. The trio allegedly carried out the grenade attack at the Asron police post on the intervening night of December 1–2. Foreign handlers had allegedly supplied the grenade used in the crime. The case remains under investigation. An NIA official said, 'Our efforts are focused on dismantling KZF's terror infrastructure and foiling their plans to target law enforcement agencies, critical installations, and orchestrate targeted killings in Punjab.'
