Live-in partner arrested after woman's body found stuffed in suitcase in Hyderabad
The Cyberabad police Friday announced the arrest of a man in connection with the death of a woman whose body was found stuffed inside a suitcase in Bachupally on Wednesday. The police Thursday arrested Vijay Toppa alias Wilson, 30, a native of Nepal and a chef at a fast food centre in Bachupally. The deceased woman was identified as Tara Bohra, 33, a Nepalese woman, who recently started living together with the accused. He reportedly confessed to strangling her during an argument about her pregnancy, the police said. On Wednesday, the suitcase was discovered in a secluded area of Vijaya Durga Owners Association Colony, Bachupally, after a local watchman reported the same to the police. Upon inspection, the body of a woman, initially estimated to be between 25-30 years old, was found inside. According to the police investigation, Bohra and Toppa met and developed a relationship through Facebook. Bohra, who was already married and had two children, arrived in Hyderabad on April 15 and began living with Toppa in a rented room in Indiramma Colony, Bowrampet. The murder allegedly occurred in the early morning hours of May 23. The couple reportedly had a heated argument concerning Bohra's pregnancy. In a fit of rage, Toppa strangled her with a nylon thread from a bag. He then stuffed her body into a large suitcase, carried it on his shoulders, and dumped it before fleeing, said K Suresh Kumar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Balanagar zone). Five special teams were swiftly formed to apprehend the perpetrator. The police utilised CCTV footage from a local store and other intelligence to track Toppa's movements. He was being produced before the court on Friday for judicial remand proceedings.

How Thane Techie Spied For Pakistan's ISI, Shared Info On Indian Warships
Mumbai: A week after a 27-year-old man from Maharashtra was arrested in an alleged espionage case, it has now emerged how he spied for his Pakistani agents and the information that he shared with them. Ravi, a mechanical engineer based in Thane, had shared intelligence about Indian warships and submarines with his Pakistani handler. He had provided inputs about 14 Navy ships, out of which the inputs about five ships were accurate. For this, he received money from Pakistan's spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the police said. Ravi was "honey-trapped" by a Pakistani agent who had befriended him on Facebook, posing as a woman, officials had earlier said. He was found sharing sensitive information with the Pakistani operative through WhatsApp, officials said. Based on a tip-off, he was arrested on May 29 by the Thane unit of the Anti-Terrorism Squad. He has been charged with criminal conspiracy and relevant sections of the Official Secrets Act. Two others who were taken into custody along with him were left off after an inquiry. Indian agencies had heightened surveillance in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack and the subsequent India-Pakistan tensions. Over a dozen men and women have been arrested on charges of sharing sensitive information with Pakistani intelligence operatives. This includes two influencers, travel vlogger Jyoti Malhotra and YouTuber Jasbir Singh. Both had over a million subscribers on YouTube and had travelled to Pakistan multiple times. They are currently being probed. A student from Punjab and a security guard from Haryana are among others who face charges of leaking classified information across the border.

Honeytrapped By Agent, Received Money From Abroad: How Thane Engineer Spied For Pakistan
Last Updated: Ravindra Verma, engineer arrested from Thane, spied by knowingly sharing classified information—including sketches, diagrams, and audio notes, investigations have revealed. Thane engineer, who was arrested for allegedly spying and sharing sensitive information about warships and submarines to Pakistan, was lured into passing classified information after being honey-trapped by a Pakistani agent posing as a woman on Facebook. As the investigations into the case progressed, it was known that 27-year-old Ravindra Verma shared sensitive information knowingly and intentionally multiple times. In exchange for the information, he received money from various bank accounts from India and abroad, according to the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS). The ATS also said Verma shared sensitive information about warships and submarines to the Pakistani intelligence operative through sketches, diagrams and audio notes. As Verma worked with a defence technology firm, he had access to the Naval Dockyard in south Mumbai. He would also go on board naval ships and submarines. The ATS suspects that he also shared the names of submarines and warships to the Pakistani agent. On June 5, a court in Thane remanded Verma to 14-day judicial custody. Verma's arrest comes in line with the arrest of several others, including popular YouTubers, who have been accused of spying for Pakistan. Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the Pahalgam terror attack, with India carrying out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the early hours of May 7. Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9, and 10. The Indian side strongly responded to the Pakistani attempts by inflicting heavy damage to a number of key Pakistani military installations, including air bases, air defence systems, command and control centres and radar sites. On May 10, the militaries of the two countries agreed on an understanding to end the hostilities.
