Passport of Rajasthan staffer held for spying reveals 4 Pakistan trips
Khan, who had claimed his old passport was lost, was arrested earlier this week under the Official Secrets Act.
An assistant administrative officer at the Jaisalmer district employment office, Khan is accused of facilitating Pakistani visas for numerous individuals through direct connections with Pakistani High Commission officials.
Inspector General Vishnu Kant of Rajasthan Intelligence Agency confirmed that Khan worked closely with Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish, a Pakistani official who was expelled from India on May 13.
The espionage case has expanded significantly with over 25 individuals who received visa assistance from Khan being interrogated by a Rajasthan Intelligence team. The questioning continued for the second consecutive day on Saturday.
"We are examining Khan's bank account records," Kant told TOI. The investigation faced a setback when Khan, who was brought to Jaisalmer for field verification, refused to cooperate with authorities, leading to his return to Jaipur.

$700,000 from US to India: Indian-origin doctor Krishnaswami Sriram sentenced to 34 months in jail for tax evasion, medical fraud
Krishnan Sriram, Indian-origin doctor, sentenced to 34 months in prison for tax evasion and medical fraud in US. Indian-origin Illinois doctor Krishnaswami Sriram has been sentenced to 34 months in prison for medical fraud and tax evasion. According to the Justice Department, he hid his assets and lied to the IRS about his ability to pay $1.6 million in taxes, penalties and interest. From 2011 to 2017, Sriram evaded payment of approximately $1.6 million he owed to the IRS. Among other evasive steps, Sriram transferred ownership, in name only, of two rental properties to his children without their knowledge while he continued to receive income from the properties. He also transferred approximately $700,000 from bank accounts he controlled in the United States to accounts in India. To fraudulently reduce the money he owed, Sriram submitted documents to the IRS as part of an offer-in-compromise that omitted an investment account in the United States, bank and investment accounts in India, and ownership of the rental properties. In total, Sriram caused a tax loss to the IRS of approximately $1.6 million. His medical fraud took place between 2011 and 2022, when he made false Medicare billings to be submitted for in-home physician care that did not take place. Sriram claimed to provide care for Medicare beneficiaries on dates when those individuals were either deceased or resided at inpatient facilities other than their homes. Sriram's false statements in medical records relating to these episodes of care resulted in $136,980.36 in false billings to Medicare. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One Spray = Instantly Clean Wheels Nexa Undo In addition to his prison sentence, the court ordered Sriram to serve three years of supervised release and to pay approximately $1.7 million in restitution to the United States. In March this year, he pleaded guilty to tax evasion and admitted false billion to Medicare.

Central Administrative Tribunal seeks Punjab's response on IPS officer's daughter plea for dues
Representative Image (AI-generated) The Principal Bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), New Delhi, has asked the Punjab government to respond on a plea filed by Shabri Prasad, daughter of Punjab cadre IPS officer Late R C Prasad, seeking payment of statutory interest on her delayed pension arrears. Shabri, an unmarried daughter of the 1976-batch Punjab cadre IPS officer who died in service in December 2003, has been a legitimate recipient of family pension under Rule 54 of the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972. However, her pension was abruptly discontinued when she turned 25 years old, despite government orders clarifying that unmarried daughters above that age are eligible for continued family pension if they remain unmarried and dependent. Her pension was restored only in 2020 after she pursued repeated representations, following which she received arrears aggregating to Rs 43.61 lakh in three installments. However, the arrears were paid without the statutory interest mandated under Rule 65(2) of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972, which requires payment of interest in cases of delay attributable to administrative lapses. The unpaid interest on delayed payments has been tentatively calculated at around Rs 43.21 lakh at 9 per cent per annum. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo In her plea before the principal bench of CAT, she has submitted that despite several representations — including letters dated September 2024 and emails to senior Punjab officials — no action was taken to release the interest component. The denial of statutory interest is in violation of Rule 65(2) of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972, she has submitted before the tribunal. The matter was last heard on July 14, 2025, when the Tribunal fixed it for August 27 asking the Punjab government to respond. For Shabri Prasad, the matter is not merely financial but also symbolic of a long struggle against bureaucratic indifference. 'My father served the Punjab Police with dedication. After his death, I have had to fight every step of the way to secure what is rightfully mine,' she has stated in her representations.
