Goa police nab mastermind of ₹1 crore digital arrest scam at Delhi airport
The Goa Cyber Crime Police have arrested the alleged mastermind behind a Rs 1 crore "digital arrest" scam, upon his arrival at Delhi airport from Singapore, an officer said on Sunday. He was taken into custody on August 15 and remanded to five days of police custody, according to Superintendent of Police (Cyber Crime) Rahul Gupta. The accused Anil Tripathi, a resident of Marina Bay Financial Centre in Singapore, is the seventh person arrested in connection with the case registered in December 2024 at Marna, Siolim (North Goa), said Gupta. The scam involved a fraudster impersonating a Delhi Crime Branch officer on WhatsApp and coercing a woman into believing she was involved in a police case. The accused allegedly sent forged Supreme Court documents and forced the victim to transfer Rs 1 crore through multiple transactions into three different bank accounts, police said. "Tripathi was tracked through technical and financial analysis, as well as the interrogation of previously arrested suspects. A Look Out Circular had been issued, leading to his detention at Delhi airport and subsequent transit to Goa," said Gupta. Investigators claimed that Tripathi is a repeat offender. He was previously arrested in Singapore for a fake tech support scam amounting to USD 64,000, in which he funnelled about USD 15,000 into his Indian bank accounts from a senior Singaporean citizen. The current case is registered under Sections 318, 319(2), and 336(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with Section 66-D of the Information Technology Act.

Haryana introduces community service guidelines for first-time offenders in petty crimes
Chandigarh, The Haryana government has introduced Community Service Guidelines 2025, a policy designed to replace jail terms for certain first-time offenders in petty crimes with structured, socially useful work, officials said. Haryana introduces community service guidelines for first-time offenders in petty crimes The reform anchored in the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita reflects a deliberate shift from retribution to rehabilitation a philosophy increasingly embraced by the progressive legal systems around the world, an official statement said on Sunday. Additional Chief Secretary Sumita Misra, who was instrumental in drafting the guidelines, described them as "a framework where justice restores as much as it corrects". She underscored that the intent is not to diminish the seriousness of offences, but to harness them as moments of transformation, the statement said. "Under the new policy, judges will have the discretion to assign community service in place of imprisonment for the eligible offenders," Misra said. The scope of tasks is wide-ranging planting trees along riverbanks, assisting in rural health centres, maintaining heritage sites, cleaning public parks, and contributing to social welfare campaigns such as Swachh Bharat. Each assignment will be carefully matched to an offender's capabilities by taking into account age, physical health, and skill set to ensure that the service is productive for the community and personally meaningful for the individual, the statement said. The approach is designed to tackle one of the most pressing issues in the Indian criminal justice system overcrowded prisons, it added. By redirecting low-risk offenders to constructive service, the burden on correctional facilities will be eased, while communities will benefit from tangible improvements, Misra said. According to the guidelines, attendance will be confirmed through biometric verification, while work will be documented with geo-tagged photographs and videos to provide an irrefutable record of compliance. Periodic progress reports will be submitted to the courts, enabling judicial officials to track each offender's contribution in real time. Officials involved in the programme will receive detailed orientation sessions to ensure uniform application across districts. The policy also includes tailored provisions for vulnerable populations, Misra said. Juveniles in conflict with the law will participate in supervised activities such as NCC training, skill-building workshops, and environmental projects that foster discipline and a sense of purpose. Women offenders will be placed in environments where they can contribute meaningfully while maintaining safety and dignity, including Nari Niketans, Anganwadi centres, maternity wards, and child care facilities. "The Community Service Guidelines seek to cultivate a broader culture of responsibility. By requiring offenders to contribute directly to the welfare of the communities they may have harmed, the state hopes to instil lasting lessons in empathy, accountability, and citizenship," Misra said.
