13 booked for ₹71.5 lakh loan fraud using fake IDs in Gurugram
At least 13 suspects have been booked for allegedly defrauding a private sector bank of ₹71.5 lakh by availing personal loans using forged documents and diverting the funds to Mumbai, police said on Tuesday. According to investigators, the loans were issued between May 2022 and February 2024 from a Sector 14 branch of a reputed private bank. The fraud came to light in February this year after the bank initiated an internal inquiry when several borrowers stopped paying their monthly instalments. A senior police officer said the so-called customers were later found to be non-existent, having used fake documents to pose as employees of well-known automobile and spare parts manufacturing firms in Gurugram. All had submitted forged salary slips, bank statements, and employment records, allegedly showing 4–8 years of service. 'These 13 'ghost' customers had submitted six common residential addresses. However, during verification, none of them were found to reside there,' the officer said. 'There is a strong possibility that either some bank officials have connived with the suspect to clear the loans or they didn't carry out any physical verification of the addresses and loans were disbursed only on the basis of documents to meet target pressures,' he added. Police further revealed that loan proceeds from 10 customers were transferred to a Mumbai-based logistics firm, while the remaining three transferred funds directly into the firm owner's account immediately after loan disbursal. Sandeep Kumar, public relations officer of Gurugram police, said the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) is investigating. 'They will arrest the suspects soon on the basis of the evidence,' he added. Based on a complaint filed on March 3 by the bank's regional officer, an FIR was registered Monday at Sector 14 police station under IPC sections 120B, 420, 467, 468, and 471. .

Seabed mapping and recovery efforts underway after MSC Elsa 3 sinks off Kerala coast
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: With many cargo containers still unaccounted for following the sinking of cargo vessel MSC Elsa 3 off the Kerala coast, and rising concerns over oil pollution and the widespread dispersal of plastic pellets, the Directorate General (DG) of Shipping has launched a major recovery operation. As part of the effort, the DG Shipping will soon conduct comprehensive seabed mapping using a multi-beam survey system to locate missing containers and the sunken vessel. The operation is also aimed at mitigating marine ecological risks stemming from the incident. The cost of the recovery will be borne by the vessel's owner, the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), which has appointed US-based firm T&T Salvage to carry out container recovery, oil removal, and pollution control measures. According to sources, T&T Salvage is assembling a team of divers, including saturation divers from South Africa, to aid the underwater retrieval of containers. The Water Lily, an emergency tow vessel, is currently being equipped with a multi-beam survey system for detailed seabed mapping. In addition, the vessel SEAMAC III will assist in diving operations.

'Disgusting Abomination': Elon Musk Criticises Donald Trump's Tax Bill, White House Reacts
Last Updated: The tech billionaire's remarks come shortly after his abrupt exit from the administration last week. Elon Musk has sharply criticized President Donald Trump's flagship tax and spending legislation, calling it a 'disgusting abomination". Reacting to Musk's comments, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president remains unfazed and he already knew where 'Elon Musk stood on this bill". The controversial bill—passed by the House of Representatives in May—includes multi-trillion-dollar tax breaks, increased defence spending, and provisions that expand the federal government's borrowing capacity. 'Shame on those who voted for it," Musk posted on X on Tuesday. I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 3, 2025 The tech billionaire's remarks come shortly after his abrupt exit from the administration last week, following a 129-day stint leading a cost-cutting initiative through his advisory group, Doge. Musk doubled down on his criticism in a series of follow-up posts, warning that the bill would 'massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to USD 2.5 trillion" and claiming that 'Congress is making America bankrupt." Officially titled the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act," the legislation builds upon Trump's 2017 tax cuts while significantly boosting funding for the military and border security. However, it also proposes cuts to key social programs including Medicaid, food assistance, and other welfare schemes. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that the bill would add around USD 3.8 trillion to the federal government's current USD 36.2 trillion debt over the next ten years. Senate deliberations on the bill are ongoing, with Trump reportedly making direct calls to senators to secure backing for his landmark legislative effort. White House Dismisses Musk's Criticism The clash highlights ongoing tensions between Musk and the administration over fiscal policy, even as the bill continues to polarize opinion across political and economic circles. At a Friday press conference held in the Oval Office, President Trump hailed the legislation as 'an unbelievable bill" that 'cuts your deficits," while adding that he would have liked 'a bigger cut in taxes." Musk did not revisit his criticism of the bill during the event. First Published: June 04, 2025, 06:56 IST
