Fake cert racket busted in Mizoram, 3 arrested
Aizawl: Three persons have been arrested in South Mizoram's Lunglei district in connection with a fake High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) marksheet scam after an applicant for a constable post was found using a fraudulent certificate during the ongoing police recruitment process.
On Sunday, police arrested C Lalduhoma, a Mizoram homeguard personnel and aspirant for the constable position, after the Lunglei district police constable recruitment board discovered that the mark sheet he presented during his personal interview was fake.
Lalduhoma reportedly admitted to purchasing the fraudulent certificate for Rs 12,000 from PC Zonunmawii, a resident of Ramthar locality in Lunglei town.
Following his arrest, Zonunmawii confessed to selling the fake certificate but denied creating it, instead pointing to Lalrohluzuala Sailo, another resident of Ramthar neighbourhood. Police subsequently arrested Sailo at his residence, where they allegedly seized incriminating documents, a laptop, and a smartphone.
Speaking to TOI over the phone on Tuesday, Lunglei district superintendent of police Jerome Lalmuankima Hmar said Sailo's laptop and mobile phone will undergo thorough examination, which is expected to uncover further details about the fake certificate racket.

Noida Tech Firm Founder Refused Interim Bail In Rs 3,558 Crore Scam
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to grant interim bail on medical grounds to the founder of a Noida tech firm, Arif Nisar, who is a key accused in a money laundering case linked to Vuenow Marketing Services over rotating money between old and new investors in the guise of sub-leasing cloud particles. Counsel appearing for Nisar told the bench of Justice PK Mishra and Justice Manmohan that he needs an injection and a surgery to save the eyesight of his right eye. However, the top court noted that there were no such recommendations by the doctors on the need for his hospitalisation. At this point, Nisar asked for a fresh examination by doctors, but the court refused his request. The top court granted him the liberty to approach the high court if the doctor recommended hospitalisation. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Nisar, a key figure in Vuenow Marketing Services Ltd, as part of a money laundering investigation linked to the company and its associated entities. The probe agency in its investigation said that Zebyte Infotech Private Limited (ZIPL) and Zebyte Rental Planet Private Limited, affiliates of Vuenow Group, were rotating the money of new investors to the old ones in the guise of sub-lease rent of cloud particles. As such, no rental income was generated from any clients who purported to have taken cloud particles on rent, the Enforcement Directorate said. According to the Enforcement Directorate, Nisar, who holds 75 per cent shareholding in ZIPL, is a mentor and founder of VMSL group and a close associate of Sukhvinder Singh Kharour. Kahrour is said to be the mastermind behind this alleged scam. The ED had also arrested Vuenow Group chief executive officer Sukhvinder Singh Kharour and his wife Dimple Kharour, who are allegedly involved in cheating people on the pretext of selling to them "cloud particles (servers)" and leasing them back on the assurance of providing monthly rental income to the investors. The probe agency said that funds to the tune of Rs 3,558 crore were raised through the alleged scam. What is the scam The case stems from an allegation that promoters and directors of these firms were running a scheme in which they lured people into investing in cloud particles or servers, for which they offered guaranteed rental returns of 48 percent per annum. They allegedly told the investors they would rent out these cloud particles to clients, and the rental income would go to them. But, it is alleged by the probe agency that there were no clients. Instead, new investors were brought in to pay the old investors, using the bank accounts of sister firms Zebyte Rental Planet Pvt Ltd (ZRPPL) and Zebyte Infotech Pvt Ltd (ZIPL).

Sharp right! 90-degree turn on Bhopal railway overbridge leaves motorists fuming, minister to inspect on June 14
Image Credit: A Moeed Faruqui/ TNN BHOPAL: The design of the newly constructed Aishbagh railway overbridge in Bhopal has come under scrutiny, with experts raising concerns and state minister Vishwas Sarang set to visit the site on 14 June for inspection. The overbridge is not yet open to traffic. Officials are considering correcting the identified issues before its formal inauguration. Similar concerns had earlier been raised about the Ganesh Mandir–Gayatri Mandir flyover, which was inaugurated by chief minister Mohan Yadav. Following media reports and expert inputs, some engineers involved in that project were suspended. 'The turn in the middle of the overbridge at the right angle is an issue. Bhaiya (Sarang) has taken up the issue with engineers involved in the project and correction as required would be made in the design,' said Mukesh Lodhi, PRO to Sarang. He confirmed the minister's scheduled visit. Retired chief engineer, PWD, V K Amar, told TOI , 'Design of the overbridge is glaringly faulty. Whenever there is a turn on an overbridge, you give a curve so as to alert the driver about the turn ahead but here, you have a turn on the right angle without any curve and any driver would be taken by surprise at the turn and it would become an accident-prone area." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo "The design will have to be altered by giving a curve 100 metres ahead of the actual turn, so that a driver is ready for the turn as it arrives," he said. The Rs 18 crore overbridge was completed after an eight-year delay. Local residents have also raised concerns. 'Residents waited ten years for this bridge. Instead of relief upon its completion, the community raised significant safety issues. The primary concern centres on the sharp 90-degree turn at the bridge's peak, which vehicles must traverse, posing considerable risks,' said Aslam, a resident of Aishbagh locality. Railway authorities clarified that their responsibility was limited to the section over the tracks. 'We are responsible for the bridges built over the railway tracks. The approach roads of the bridge were built by PWD,' said Nawal Agrawal, PRO of Bhopal Railway Division. An engineer associated with the project, speaking to TOI on condition of anonymity, cited limited space and the presence of a nearby metro station as factors behind what he described as a 'distinctive design'. PWD officials said an inspection team had assessed the site and would submit a report. Additional Chief Secretary (PWD) Neeraj Mandoli did not respond to calls or messages.
