Mumbai hospital doctor who jumped off Atal Setu untraceable after 48-hour search operation
Arjun Rajne, senior inspector of Ulwe said, "The search operation using police patrolling boat was continued from 7 am onwards on Wed. The areas along the creek from NRI coastal area till Uran creek was searched throughout the day, but to no avail. A police team on a patrolling boat also searched in the sea near Elephanta caves (Gharapuri Island) till the sunset and has been anchored there for resuming the search operation on Thursday morning.
"
A police officer said that, as the recovered mobile phone of Dr Kavitake has not been unlocked yet, the WhatsApp and text messages could not be accessed. The messages might give some lead to the reason why Dr Kavitake took the drastic step. He has not left any note before jumping off the sea bridge.

Gurgaon: MCG commissioner Pradeep Dahiya on Friday deployed four member teams of gunmen, clerks, helpers and special police officers (SPOs) for surveillance of the illegal dumping of construction and demolition (C&D) waste and solid waste across the city. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The teams will monitor waste dumping round-the-clock in the city and will work as part of the sanitation security force (SSF). These teams will work in three shifts – the first from 8am to 4pm, second from 4pm to 12am, and third from 12am to 8am. "They will ensure that nobody dumps C&D waste and garbage illegally in the city," an order issued by MCG commissioner read, adding that teams should send geo-tagged photos, videos of vehicles unloading the waste and photos of those vehicles on WhatsApp groups formed for the same. "They are to ensure coordination with police and also make sure that the vehicles seized are impounded with police and further legal action is taken," read the order. Dahiya told TOI, "We have deployed teams of gunmen, who are ex-servicemen, along with helpers and SPOs. Our teams often face threats while monitoring dumping activities at night, so this measure is both preventive and for their safety. The aim is to ensure uninterrupted monitoring and to put a stop to illegal dumping. With this kind of surveillance, we expect to see noticeable improvements within a week ." The campaign is currently focused on areas such as Gurgaon–Faridabad Road, Sector 29, Southern Peripheral Road (SPR), and the Auto Market. Civic teams have been instructed to ensure that all construction debris is cleared promptly and disposed of as per guidelines. Officials said strict action will be taken against violators, including the seizure of vehicles, imposition of fines, and filing of FIRs. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Dahiya added that surveillance will be further strengthened in the coming week. "Some of the waste collection agencies hired by bulk waste generators (BWGs) are dumping waste at garbage-vulnerable points. We plan to inspect each of these sites, document violations with video evidence, and take legal action wherever needed," he said. Officials noted that the corporation is working to eliminate garbage-vulnerable points from city roads and public areas. "In addition to clearing these sites, we'll take action against those responsible for dumping. Any negligence or obstruction in waste management efforts will not be tolerated," they said.

Retired govt employee, brother lose Rs 4.4 cr in stock trading scam
Hyderabad: A 61-year-old retired govt employee and his 58-year-old brother were duped of 4.48 crore by fraudsters operating a fake stock trading portal. According to officials, the retired govt employee, a resident of Kothapet, clicked on a YouTube advertisement link about a stock marketing investment platform. Within hours of clicking the link, the victim began receiving WhatsApp messages and voice calls from individuals posing as Rajiv Mehta and his associates, Sana Kapoor and Krithika Joshi. The trio allegedly promised one month of VIP trading with zero commission for anyone who voted daily for Mehta in a purported 'World Finance Challenge' that carried an $8 million prize, which, they claimed, would be shared among supporters.

As per their advice, between June 24 and Aug 2, the victims transferred 4.48 crore in 23 transactions from their three bank accounts to multiple accounts provided by the accused.

Suspecting foul play, the brothers travelled to Bengaluru on Aug 6, where the original stock trading company's head office was located.

After returning to Hyderabad, my brother suffered a stress-induced heart attack and was hospitalised for four days," said the 58-year-old in his police complaint. The victims filed an online complaint and submitted supporting bank statements, chat logs, and screen captures to TGCSB on Aug 14.
