Former finance staff held for 51L loan fraud
1 2 Pune: A 35-year-old finance manager working with a private company was shocked after receiving a notice from a private bank about EMI payment default on a loan of Rs 18 lakh, which he never applied for. When he checked with the bank, it was found that someone obtained the loan from the bank by preparing fake documents in the victim's name in October last year. He approached the Pimpri Chinchwad police and lodged a complaint. A team of Pimpri Chinchwad cyber police took action and traced Yuvraj Tivade (41) of Pimple Saudagar, who obtained the loan using the finance manager's name. "Investigations revealed that Tivade obtained a loan of Rs 51 lakh using fake documents. We also found loan applications of 20 people with him, which he prepared using fake documents," senior police inspector Ravikiran Nale of the Pimpri Chinchwad cyber police told TOI. Assistant police inspector Pravin Swami of the Pimpri Chinchwad cyber police told TOI that the complainant, Tivade, was working with a private finance firm's loan section. He knew about the documents required for obtaining a loan. "Tivade used to visit cyber cafes where people went to get printouts of their PAN cards and other documents. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Capital Gains Exemptions for Seniors SmartAsset Learn More Undo To get printouts, people either shared the documents through a mobile messenger app or through email with the email IDs or mobile number of the person running the cafe, but did not bother to delete them," Swami said. He said that Tivade took advantage of this and accessed PAN or other details from the data on the computers at the cyber cafes. "He then contacted customer care of UIDAI by posing as the PAN card holder and obtained the Aadhaar number connected to that card," he said. Swami said that by using the PAN and Aadhaar details of that particular person, he prepared fake documents required to get a personal loan. "By using this modus operandi, Tivade obtained loans collectively worth Rs 51 lakh in the names of three persons," Swami said. The officer said that in the case registered with the Chinchwad police, it was found that Tivade submitted the loan application without any photograph, the address was fake, and he also prepared a fake salary slip in the victim's name. "Tivade even opened an account in the victim's name, where the loan amount was disbursed," the officer said. Swami said that Tivade was handed over to the Chinchwad police for further investigations.

Faridabad: Man jumps before train with 4 kids after fight with wife
A 45-year-old man allegedly died by suicide along with his four minor sons on Tuesday by jumping before a moving train in Ballabhgarh, Faridabad, following a domestic dispute over suspected infidelity, investigators said. The deceased, a daily wage worker from Sitamarhi, Bihar, lived in Subhash Colony, around 300 metres from the railway tracks where the incident took place. His sons were aged three, five, nine, and 10 years, according to railway police. The tragic incident came to light at 1.20pm on Tuesday, when the loco pilot of Golden Temple Mail alerted authorities after witnessing the man and four children jump before the train near the railway overbridge on GT Road at Alson Chowk. Inspector Raj Pal, station house officer of Faridabad Government Railway Police, said the impact of the crash was so brutal that human remains were scattered 100-200 meters after being struck by the train. Locals, the inspector said, had observed the man and his sons sitting along the tracks for over 30 minutes before the incident. 'He had purchased chips and cold drinks for his sons before jumping with them, which several locals witnessed,' SHO Pal said. Police recovered the man's Aadhaar card and his wife's phone number written on paper from his clothing. He had told his wife he was taking the children to a park but instead went to the railway tracks, police said. The tragedy followed a morning argument between the couple over the man's apparent suspicions about his wife having an affair. 'The wife said he would quarrel even if she spoke to her brother or other family members, suspecting she was speaking to someone else,' Pal said. Investigators said that the bodies of all five victims have been preserved at Faridabad Civil Hospital mortuary and will be handed over to family members expected to arrive from Bihar on Wednesday. An inquiry under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita is being conducted.

Digi-arrest con poses as Kol IPS officer, dupes 81-yr-old of 88L
Kolkata: An 81-year-old resident of Rabindrapally in Kestopur lost Rs 88 lakh to a sophisticated cyber fraud scheme where one of the scammers posed as the joint CP of Kolkata Police. The others posed as telecom officials and other law enforcement personnel. The victim realised he was scammed only after he read in the newspaper about a similar digital arrest fraud. The incident prompted the Bidhannagar cyber crime police station to register a case under multiple sections of BNS 2023 on Monday. Manishi Nath Das filed a formal complaint saying he was systematically deceived through a series of coordinated phone calls between May 31 and June 2, with the first call at 2 pm on May 31. The fraudsters employed elaborate tactics, including threats of arrest, and false allegations of money laundering and human trafficking. According to the complaint, the scam began when Das received a call from an individual claiming to be a telecom department official, who said Das's mobile number was being misused through his Aadhaar card details. The call was then transferred to a person who identified himself as Sandip Rao, purportedly from a Karnataka police station. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "The perpetrators created a web of deception, even claiming there was a Supreme Court arrest warrant against me," Das told cops. The scammers alleged that Das had sold his Aadhaar details to one Sadakat Khan for Rs 40 lakh. The situation escalated when another caller, identifying himself as an IPS officer — using the same name as a Kolkata Police IPS officer — informed Das that he was "digitally arrested". Under duress, Das sent Rs 36.5 lakh from his nationalised bank account to a private bank account and Rs 51.5 lakh from his public sector bank account to a second private bank account. Das has also filed a complaint on the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal. A combination of factors, ranging from a degree of unfamiliarity with the new digital world to the age-related emotional vulnerability of a parent, may be contributing to why an overwhelming number of digital arrest victims happen to be senior citizens, said officers. Add to it the pressure, as well as the monotony of staying without youngsters at home, and one can understand why the cyber fraudsters target this group to blackmail and threaten in the name of digital arrest.
