Model says man in Gurugram kept ‘staring and masturbating' near her: ‘Nobody really understands...'
A model and Instagram influencer was left 'disgusted' while waiting for her cab in Gurugram, when a man — now booked — unzipped his trousers and masturbated near her on the Delhi–Jaipur highway. The woman, who works as a model, said the incident occurred after she got off a bus from Jaipur. Despite sharing videos of the episode on the social media platform X and tagging the police, officials, and women's welfare bodies, she alleged that no action was taken. "While I was waiting for a cab, I noticed a man came around me and was constantly staring at me. Then I noticed that his pants' zip was unzipped, and he kept staring and masturbating in front of me. I felt very disgusted," the woman said. In her video post, the model said she was too shocked and afraid to scream or react at the time. 'People said I should have shouted or slapped him, but no one really understands what goes through a woman's mind at that moment. I just wanted to stay safe,' she added. The model, who is also a digital creator with over 38,000 followers on Instagram, said that after receiving no response from any agency, she shared a video of herself recounting the incident at the intersection on 4 August, once again tagging the relevant agencies and officials. Sandeep Kumar, Public Relations Officer of Gurugram Police, told HT, 'He was wearing a mask, denim trousers, a check shirt and was carrying a backpack in the front. We are tracking (footage) to know where he had moved from the place,' he said, adding that the woman's statement was recorded on Wednesday.

Rs 260 crore fraud: ED raids 11 places in Delhi, Dehradun
NEW DELHI: The ED on Wednesday conducted searches at 11 locations across Delhi-NCR and Dehradun as part of its probe under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) into alleged global cyber fraud scam being run through call centres, officials said. The central probe agency conducted searches in Delhi, Gurugram, Noida and Dehradun against the cyber fraud ring accused of duping Indian and foreign nationals, they said, adding that the total proceeds of crime are believed to be Rs 260 crore as of yet. Revealing about the modus oprandi, the officials said, the fraudsters allegedly impersonated as technical agents from leading tech companies like Microsoft and Amazon and allegedly offered to assist citizens in the United States and Canada. The ED found that they cheated the victims by transferring their money into cryptocurrency networks and Bitcoin wallets, after which they were converted into fake crypto wallets. The call-centre in Noida is believed to be the main centre for the crime from where the fraudsters used to threaten the victims of their potential arrests, they said. The agency has seized many electronic devices and evidence during the raids, including several documents. There are several complaints received by the CBI and Delhi Police, which are in the process of registering FIRs in the matter, the officials said, adding that further details are awaited in the case as there is a possibility of involved individuals being arrested by the ED. Meanwhile, in another case assets valued at Rs 42.8 crore belonging to an Indian national, who was detained in the US, have been seized under the PMLA, the officials said.

Request To Recuse Judges In New Diego Maradona Trial Denied
The request was denied, as the judges found the grounds of the request to be merely speculative and conjectural. The request by the defence to recuse two of the judges appointed for the trial of the medical team of the late Diego Maradona over the Argentine legend's death was rejected on Wednesday. Advocates of Maradona's personal physician, Leopoldo Luque, who is among seven people charged with culpable homicide over the World Cup-winner's passing, had requested for two members of the judicial panel to be removed from the case, over a fear of partiality. The request was denied, as the judges found the grounds of the request to be merely speculative and conjectural. The first trial into Maradona's 2020 death collapsed in May after one of the judges was sensationally revealed to have taken part in a clandestine documentary about the trial. A new three-judge bench was appointed in July to conduct a fresh trial. No date has yet been set for the new trial. Maradona was the star man of the Argentine side that clinched the FIFA World Cup in the year 1986 as the icon from Dique Lujan etched his name in history books with his astounding showings that made the world acknowledge his magical abilities on the ball. Maradona, regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, passed away in November 2020 at the age of 60 while recovering from brain surgery. He died from heart failure and acute pulmonary edema, a condition where fluid builds up in the lungs, a few weeks after the medical procedure. His medical team faced trial over the conditions of his home recovery, which prosecutors described as grossly negligent. They could face prison sentences ranging from eight to 25 years if convicted of homicide with possible intent or for pursuing a course of action despite knowing it could lead to his death. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
