' ₹20 lakh Creta' stolen in Delhi in just 60 seconds; watch how thieves hacked the system
The incident took place on June 21 outside the home of Rishabh Chauhan in Safdarjung Enclave. Chauhan later shared the CCTV footage on Instagram, warning people about the car's safety flaws.
In the video, a car approaches from the opposite direction and parks beside Chauhan's Creta. A man steps out, breaks the driver-side window, and then leaves. A few minutes later, the same car returns. This time, a masked individual gets out, hacks into the Creta's security system and unlocks it with ease, before driving off.
Sharing the footage, Chauhan wrote: 'Hi, my Hyundai Creta was stolen in 60 seconds on June 21, 2025. As seen in this video from my CCTV, the Creta is no longer safe when parked outside. Its security system appears to have been hacked or leaked and can be bypassed in under a minute.'
He further added: 'Anyone considering buying a Creta -beware, it can be stolen at any time. @hyundaiindia, the Hyundai team really needs to upgrade their safety software. The car has still not been found by @delhi.police_official.'
In his post, he also commented on the safety situation in the capital: 'If Delhi isn't safe, I don't even want to imagine the state of other places in India.'
Chauhan also shared an email screenshot confirming that the police investigation is underway.
The post has amassed over three million views and has evoked a flurry of comments. Some social media users questioned whether Chauhan mentioned the correct date, while others raised concerns about possible involvement of local police or residential security guards.

Saffron party raises issue in Assembly
Raising the matter during the Zero Hour, BJP state President B Y Vijayendra said Nayak from the Valmiki community was murdered heinously for being in love with a woman from another community. Noting that the accused had made reels using the machete a day ahead of the murder and had posted the video on Instagram, he alleged that police not taking caution had led to the murder. Claiming that only after the protests, police took action and made arrests, Vijayendra pointing out that Nayak's family is poor, demanded compensation for them, as Rs 25 lakh was given to the family of Mohammed Fazil, who was killed in Mangaluru. 'As Gavisiddappa Nayak family is poor, a minimum of Rs 50 lakh compensation should be given, along with 2 acre land and a government job to one of his family members,' he said, adding that the case should be handed over to NIA, as there is no faith on the police department. Later, when Speaker U T Khader said that the government will give its reply on Thursday, as the home minister was not present, the BJP members demanded an answer today itself, as it was a serious case. This led to a heated exchange between BJP and the ruling Congress. The BJP members, including C N Ashwath Narayan, accused the government of showing negligence in the case, and questioned whether the 'government is alive?' Minister Shivaraj Tangadagi hit back, alleging that the opposition party was playing politics over death, and asserted that the administration had taken prompt action in the case. The Speaker denied any further discussion on the issue as it was raised under the Zero Hour. He said the government will give its reply when the home minister is present in the House.

Who is Sandeepa Virk? Instagram influencer under ED scanner
Sandeepa Virk, a popular Instagram personality who claims to be an actor and a cosmetologist, has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) under the anti-money laundering law in a case of alleged fraud as well as misrepresentation, reports said on Wednesday, citing the agency. According to an Instagram ID of Sandeepa Virk, she is an actor and entrepreneur and the founder of a skincare product website Sandeepa Virk, is also under scanner for her purported links with Reliance Group executive, Angarai Natarajan Sethuraman (President, corporate affairs), according to a PTI news agency report. The money-laundering case stems from an FIR lodged by the Punjab Police. Who is Sandeepa Virk According to an Instagram ID of Sandeepa Virk, she is an actor and entrepreneur and the founder of a skincare product website which the ED claims was a "front" for money laundering. The Instagram handle, which also reads 'god's favourite child' in bio, has 1.2 million followers. Another social media-hosted bio data of the woman said she is a certified cosmetologist. The ED took Sandeepa Virk into custody under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) on Tuesday after searches were conducted against her and her associates in Delhi and Mumbai over the last two days, the PTI report said. Sandeepa Virk and her associates are being probed for allegedly exerting undue influence through "misrepresentation" and "defrauding" individuals by soliciting money under false pretences. A special court sent her to the ED's custody till August 14, the agency said. The agency said in a statement that the woman was also "in touch with" Sethuraman, former director of erstwhile Reliance Capital Limited and was was communicating with him regarding 'illegal liaisoning', The ED said searches at Sethuraman's residence "confirmed" these allegations. "Besides, diversion of funds for personal benefit has also been unearthed during the course of the search action," the report quoted ED as saying. The ED alleged that public money worth about ₹18 crore belonging to Reliance Commercial Finance Limited (RCFL) was disbursed to Sethuraman in 2018 by "flouting" prudent lending norms. The funds were lent under terms that allowed a deferment of the principal amount as well as the interest, with multiple waivers granted and no due diligence conducted, it said. In addition, a home loan of ₹22 crore was provided by Reliance Capital Limited by "violating" the prudential norms, ED claimed. "A large part of these loans are seen to have been eventually siphoned off and remained unpaid," it alleged. Sethuraman, in a statement, dismissed the allegations as 'baseless", denying any connection with Sandeepa Virk or any transactions related to her. Sethuraman said that the home loan he received from Reliance Capital was granted following due process and was secured by the property offered as collateral. Non-existent products Sandeepa Virk's web portal purportedly sold FDA-approved beauty products. however, the the things listed on the website have been found to be non-existent, ED said, adding that the portal lacks a user registration option and is plagued by persistent payment gateway issues. A scrutiny of the website revealed minimal social-media engagement, an inactive WhatsApp contact number and an absence of transparent organisational details, all of which suggested "non-genuine" commercial activity, according to the ED. "These factors, including limited product range, inflated pricing, false claims of FDA approval and technical inconsistencies, indicate that the website serves as a front for laundering funds," ED said. The federal agency said several "incriminating" documents were seized during the searches and the statement of a man named Farrukh Ali, stated to be an associate of Sandeepa Virk, was recorded.
