Head constable goes missing, leaves emotional note
Vadodara: A head constable posted at Bapod police station, Alpesh Khodaji, went missing on Monday night after leaving behind a two-page note. Khodaji, who resided in the police lines at Panigate, is originally from Banaskantha.
According to police sources, Khodaji's note expressed emotional distress. He wrote that he was being "called by his grandfather" and was therefore "leaving the world." He also mentioned his sorrow over his wife's unhappiness and requested his family not to search for him.
In the note, Khodaji instructed that the plot of land he had purchased should be given to his daughter, and his motorbike should be handed over to his father.
Before disappearing, he sent the note via WhatsApp to a friend. The police have since launched a search operation and are gathering information from his family members, including his wife, to trace his whereabouts.

Mathura: Objectionable photos found in phone of youth arrested over ‘provocative' online post
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Shlok Kumar on Wednesday said he has formed a special team to investigate the matter, which has now taken a serious turn following the recovery of digital evidence. They said the youth allegedly lured the women into relationships by pretending to be a Hindu, filmed them in compromising situations and circulated the content online. Mathura (UP), Jun 12 (PTI) Objectionable photos and videos allegedly involving Hindu women have been found in the mobile phone of a Muslim youth arrested for sharing a 'provocative' message on social media on Eid, police said. According to police, Imran, a resident of Machhi Mandi in the Kotwali area here and an autorickshaw driver, was taken into custody on Sunday after local Hindu leaders complained about a communal and inflammatory social media post made by him on Eid. Following his arrest, Hindu groups alleged that Imran was involved in 'love jihad' — a coinage used by right-wing activists to refer to the alleged campaign of Muslims forcing Hindu girls to convert in the guise of love. Based on these allegations, Imran's mobile phone was sent to the cyber headquarters for forensic analysis, police said. 'Initial investigation revealed that he had written on one of his social media display pictures, 'I have more girlfriends than most people's age'. We have also found photos and videos of Hindu women in compromising situations on his mobile phone,' SSP Kumar said. He said Imran used fake online identities to trap the women and later shared the obscene material on various platforms. Emails have been sent to social media companies requesting dossiers of all of Imran's accounts along with associated URLs, he said. 'Based on phone records, we are trying to identify the victims and encourage them to come forward. Their identities will be kept strictly confidential and if required, counselling will be offered,' the SSP said. Imran was allegedly active on multiple platforms, including WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram. Police have sought detailed activity logs of the past three years from these companies as part of their investigation. PTI COR KIS DIV DIV This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

Panchkula: BSNL official loses ₹33 lakh to cyber fraudsters
An assistant general manager (AGM) of BSNL fell victim to cyber fraudsters' online investment scheme, resulting in a loss of ₹33.56 lakh, police said on Wednesday. Identified as Hussain Ahmad, 54, a resident of Sector 16 in Panchkula, the victim had taken ₹30 lakh as loan to pay to the fraudsters. In his police complaint, Ahmad mentioned that he received WhatsApp messages from two unknown mobile numbers in March. The sender, identifying herself as Meena Joshi, claimed that she was a share market consultant's assistant, associated with a Mumbai firm — Ratefin Investment Limited. She assured him of up to 300% profit in trading. Ahmad was subsequently added to a WhatsApp group named 'Ratefin tutorial L 11' which had 90 members and two administrators. The group frequently shared links to the Ratefin Investment website that featured lectures by someone, along with a SEBI registration number. Stock recommendations and investment tips were also provided which Ahmad followed to purchase shares. On April 1, a new group (Wealth Revival Group) was formed with 45 members where administrators said they wanted to launch a mutual fund but initially focusing on gaining stock market profits under a wealth revival plan for investors. They also advertised a new link-based app where users could create accounts to recover lost money in the share market. Ahmad sold stocks worth ₹4 lakh and also took ₹30 lakh as loan to invest in the fraudsters' scheme. Later, when Ahmad sought withdrawal, he was told to fill a form. He did so on April 4 and 5. Ahmad applied for his total withdrawal of ₹85.67 lakh (including profit), but eventually the fraudsters stopped replying to him. His attempts to contact other group members were unsuccessful. Upon checking the Mumbai address provided in his 'agreement' documents, Ahmad discovered that no such company existed there. The cyber crime police station has registered a case under Sections 318(4), 319, 336(3), 338, 340 and 61 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
