UP STF, intel units keep close watch on RO/ARO exams
To prevent any malpractice, Special Task Force (STF) of UP Police, intelligence agencies and police department have been assigned key responsibilities.
The STF has been specifically directed to monitor sensitive exam centres identified prior to the examination. The Yogi govt has also issued strict instructions to track and monitor individuals with a history of disrupting the integrity of exams, including notorious cheating syndicates.
Those previously involved in examination-related crimes and currently out on bail will be kept under special surveillance.
Additionally, the STF will keep a close watch on social media platforms, including open forums as well as WhatsApp and Telegram. Dedicated teams will also monitor coaching institutes during the examination period, and any suspicious activities will be immediately reported to the concerned agencies.
Police forces will be deployed at every exam centre to maintain peace and conduct strict frisking of candidates to ensure no banned items are carried inside. Armed guards and senior officers will be present throughout the process — from taking confidential exam papers out of the treasury to dispatching answer sheets after the exam.
The exam will be held in all 75 districts of the state on July 27 in a single shift from 9:30am to 12:30pm.

Chat facility in gaming apps now communication tool for terror groups: officials
Online war games akin to PUBG requiring chats with partners anonymous or otherwise have emerged as a key communication channel for terror groups and Pakistan's ISI to convey messages to their recruits in Jammu and Kashmir, officials here said. As terror groups operating across the border seek to bypass social media and conventional channels of communication and escape scrutiny by security agencies, it is a virtual battleground and in some cases a real one too. Four cases have been been identified, the officials said.

The boy was handed over to parents after proper counselling of the entire family. The gaming chat applications allow players to communicate with each other in real time in the guise of playing online games, the officials explained without going into details of which game and how. These applications, which facilitate voice, video, and text-based communication to enhance teamwork, strategy discussions and social interaction among players, are being used for different purposes, they said. Live Events The prospective recruits are identified during playing. The gaming applications have been increasingly incorporating encryption to protect user communications but the level of security varies widely. So, some games use basic encryption for in-game voice chat and others offer more robust end-to-end encryption for text and voice. There are also applications that allow for self-destructing messages. Though several of these gaming applications are banned in India, they are downloaded using Virtual Private Network (VPN) illegally. A VPN creates a secure and encrypted connection over the internet by masking Internet Protocol addresses and encrypts online traffic, making it more difficult to track online activity and access data. In the past, messaging platforms like WhatsApp were delinked by terror groups and their handlers from Pakistan and they switched to other applications to communicate with each other. The included one developed by a Turkish company that is being used by terror group handlers and their prospective recruits in the Valley, the officials said. The new applications have the ability to work with the slowest internet connections where Enhanced Data for Global Evolution (EDGE), used in the late 2000s, or 2G is in operation. The Central government had suspended internet across Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of the special status of the erstwhile state on August 5, 2019. All encryption and decryption happen directly on the devices, therefore reducing third party intervention at any point. These new apps use encryption algorithm RSA-2048 which was adopted as the most secure encrypted platform, officials said. RSA is an American Network Security and Authentication company founded in 1982 by US-born Ron Rivest and Leonard Adleman and Israeli-born Adi Shamir. The acronym RSA is used worldwide as the foundation key in the cryptosystem. One new messaging app used by terrorists to radicalise youth in the Valley does not even ask for phone numbers or emails, therefore enabling complete user anonymity, the officials said. The latest challenge in tracking terror activity comes just as security agencies in the Valley are fighting the menace of virtual SIM cards. Terror groups have been increasingly using these to connect with their handlers in Pakistan. Virtual SIM cards are generated by a service provider based in a foreign country. In this technology, the computer generates a telephone number and the user needs to download an application from the service provider on his or her smartphone to use it. The penetration of this technology came to light in 2019 when a request was sent to the United States to seek details from a service provider of virtual SIMs used by a Jaish-e-Mohammed suicide bomber in the attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama that left 40 personnel dead. A detailed probe by the National Investigation Agency and other security agencies indicated that over 40 virtual SIM cards were used in the Pulwama attack alone. There are probably many more floating in the Valley's cyberspace, the officials said. Economic Times WhatsApp channel )

Stolen actor Shubham Vardhan: ‘The tendency to be safe has stagnated the film business, everything appears to be a copy of each other'
After premiering at the Venice Film Festival, Stolen travelled to nearly 40 festivals before releasing on OTT. Its producer Gaurav Dhingra, director Karan Tejpal and lead actors Abhishek Banerjee and Shubham Vardhan talk about its making; balancing craft with social commentary; and the contemporary eco-system for indie cinema. The trigger for making Stolen is the 2018 Karbi Anglong incident in which two men were lynched as 'child kidnapping' rumours circulated on social media. Why did you think of developing this as a feature film? Karan Tejpal: It came as a shock to me that you can be so unjustly accused of something you haven't done. I was surprised that nearly 5,000 people can collect within minutes and brutally lynch you. They were assumed to be child kidnappers on the basis of how they looked. One of them had long dreadlocks and they were driving a big car. When I dug deeper into the incident, I came across how technology was used. Such incidents are what's called 'WhatsApp lynchings' since a message can be transmitted to thousands of people through WhatsApp. This case came to the limelight due these brutal videos which were doing the rounds. From 2015 to the time that the pandemic swept the world, there were about 300 such cases in different parts of India. It started as the unpeeling of this phenomenon and wanting to understand why and how (such incidents are taking place). Being a writer and filmmaker, in a couple of years, the idea of giving shape to a story came up. It crystallised into becoming a film when I met Gaurav. Making a film and telling it a certain way is a cathartic experience. I experienced such fear when I heard about such incidents and the injustice that can take place and no one is held responsible for it. I heard about this incident in 2018 and I started writing in 2020. I shot the film in 2023. How did Abhishek Banerjee come on board? Abhishek: My mind was blown when Karan and Gaurav (Dhingra) shared their idea. In the first meeting itself I decided to do the film. Their pitch was simple: we are trying to make this road film. The initial idea was to make a single-take movie and create that kind of chaos through the journey. Apart from the story, I was very interested in the way they were thinking of making the film. I thought let's get the emotions and script right and go ahead. Karan: We thought of Abhishek very early on because there are not many actors who are doing realistic performances the way he does. He has a control hold over his craft. He can control his pitch even when others are hamming their way through in Stree (2018). Shubham's performance is very much from his gut while Abhishek is from the mind. Gaurav Dhingra: The production crew had many first-timers. They were handpicked and came together because they believed in the film. Abhishek and Shubham, you are playing brothers in Stolen–you are both from Delhi's Kirori Mal College and you know each other for a long time. Shubham Vardhan: We were obviously comfortable since we know each other. At the same time, it was a little difficult since you can't hide your tricks because we know each other so well. In Mumbai, we want to do good and off-beat work but that kind of project doesn't come our way. It is rare to get the opportunity to work with like-minded people as well as to work on a project that gives importance to craft and story. Abhishek: We could laugh at each other and tell each other when something was going wrong. That's not easy. If you are working with co-actors with whom you don't have chemistry and you cross the line, they might feel bad. It is not about ego but all actors are insecure. Shubham: We have had a common language for nearly 15 years. So, we can communicate with each other with ease. The film carries a social commentary but is also nuanced. How do you achieve that balance? Karan: Genre is mainly about craft and helps in making choices. More than social commentary, my idea was to present how I saw the world. We never thought about preaching or pamphleteering. We were telling the story of characters and real people what could happen if they had an experience like this. If you have a certain perspective of the world, it should automatically reflect in your work. Gaurav: We wanted the film to be accessible and engaging for everyone. In the age of the internet, what is engaging is commercial. Even though Stolen was screened at about 40 festivals, why did you not release it in theatres? Gaurav: Our focus was that we are making a global film. After its Venice Film Festival premiere in 2023, various distributors wanted to buy the film. It was not sold in India. Had it been released in France or Germany first, in no time it would have been pirated. We wanted all theatrical releases to come together in four months and then go to OTT. Or, we wanted a global deal that would release the film at one go. The Amazon Prime Video deal came in. The four executive producers, Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane, Nikkhil Advani and Kiran Rao joined us. Abhishek: When you are trying to do something disruptive, logic is an important weapon. We did not want that kind of pressure related to the money that you need to raise for marketing in case of a theatrical release and then wonder for how many days the theatres would run it. How would you describe the current ecosystem for independent cinema? Gaurav: The eco-system is not working for independent filmmakers. Part of the reason is that the distribution has crumbled and needs to be innovated. The ticket pricing is high. In the southern part of the country, there is a cap on the ticket prices and marketing budget of a movie. There is a greater need of the exhibition system to have partnership of a different kind with movie makers. Abhishek: Over the years, I have noticed, everyone wants to be safe business-wise. Hence, the manufacturing goes up but creativity goes down. That's the case everywhere. Shubham: The tendency to be safe has stagnated the business. Everything appears to be a copy of each other.

Online task scam: How job offers on Telegram, WhatsApp groups are driving people to extremes
Bhumika Sorathia from Gujarat must have never thought joining a Telegram group would drive her to death. Sorathia, a private bank employee at IIFL Bank, had joined a Telegram group that offered money in return for completing small tasks. Initially, she earned small sums as rewards, but was soon manipulated into investing larger amounts, and eventually lost lakhs. At 25, she died by suicide. A note she left mentioned being trapped in a debt of Rs 28 lakh. Also known as 'task-based job scams,' frauds lure unsuspecting individuals, often via WhatsApp or Telegram, into completing simple tasks online for money. While they may pay initially to build trust, the real goal is to convince victims to invest money, which they never recover. spoke with several users who are or were a part of such Telegram or WhatsApp groups that offered money in return for doing some simple tasks. One user, Rakshit (name changed), said he doesn't remember how he was added to the group, but the admin of the group provided him with an agent. The agent gave one demo task, and after completing the same, transferred a decent amount (around Rs 200). Gradually, the number of tasks increased by 20 tasks every day. The tasks were easy: a five-star rating for some product or a place, or a simple translation, or a like on a YouTube video. But the magic of the scam, Rakshit says, happens usually a day or two later, when the admin asks to invest the money. spoke to several individuals who had joined such Telegram or WhatsApp groups. Rakshit (name changed) doesn't recall how he was added to the group. An admin connected him with an 'agent' who gave him a demo task. After completing it, Rakshit received Rs 200. The number of tasks grew—20 per day—ranging from rating products and translating text to liking YouTube videos. 'The real trap,' Rakshit said, 'comes when the admin asks you to invest money.' Vaibhav (name changed) earned Rs 150 for his first few tasks. But then he was asked to deposit Rs 3,000 with a promise of Rs 1,000 per task. That's when he backed out, suspecting a scam. 'I figured they'd just take my money and disappear.' Pranav (name changed) wasn't as lucky. He was paid Rs 250 for writing five fake Google reviews. Then came a 'master task': invest Rs 1,470 to earn Rs 4,500. He ended up losing Rs 5,000 before realising it was a scam. Shubham (name changed) has a different story. Aware of how these scams work, he completes the initial paid tasks, then exits the group once they ask for investment. 'In short, I scam the scammers,' he said, laughing. Cyber expert Deependra Singh of Betul Police, Madhya Pradesh, explained, 'People who spend more time at home, like job seekers or homemakers, are easy targets. Scammers start with a simple message offering easy income. Victims often don't realise it's a trap until they're too deep in.' Singh said the scammers build trust by sending small payments at first. Once the victim feels confident, they are asked to invest larger sums. Scammers often direct victims to fake websites showing fabricated earnings and profiles, making the setup appear legitimate. Singh and advocate Tushar Sharma, cyber expert and co-founder of The Organization for Enlightenment & Education (TOFEE), suggested some red flags to spot this scam: Unrealistic earnings: Rs 100 per like or review, or promises of Rs 5,000 a day, are too good to be true. Lack of verifiable information: No company website, physical address, or helpline. Scammers use fake names or impersonate legitimate firms to lure people. Exclusive use of Telegram/WhatsApp: No professional emails or contracts. No formal documentation: Real employers issue contracts, offer letters, and tax info. Scammers don't. Instant payments followed by demands: Rs 60 for a task, then Rs 500 to unlock the 'next level'. Real jobs never ask you to pay to work. High-pressure tactics: Scammers create a sense of urgency with lines like 'Only 5 minutes left!' or 'Limited slots, register now!' to rush decisions. Real opportunities don't pressure you. Requests for personal information: Sharing bank details or OTPs may lead to theft or phishing attacks. Fake earnings proof: Edited screenshots showing others 'earning Rs 40,000 a week'. Referral schemes: Victims are encouraged to rope in friends, turning it into a pyramid model. – Always verify job offers from official sources – Never share OTPs, personal credentials, or bank info – Report scams on – Use 'Sanchaar Sathi' portal to report the unauthentic and scamming communication – Call 1930 to report the cybercrime – Educate others, especially students and homemakers who are frequent targets The Safe Side As the world evolves, the digital landscape does too, bringing new opportunities—and new risks. Scammers are becoming more sophisticated, exploiting vulnerabilities to their advantage. In our special feature series, we delve into the latest cybercrime trends and provide practical tips to help you stay informed, secure, and vigilant online.
