Gang exploited victims using artificial intelligence and fake loans
New Delhi: Akshita, Jayshree, Pinki and Dimple led seemingly ordinary lives, but behind the facade, they allegedly harboured secrets that would shock their families and friends. At work, they were telecallers who would ruthlessly target the vulnerable and the elderly by using artificial intelligence, trapping them into a vicious cycle of blackmail. Beyond office hours, the women donned an entirely different persona – a tightrope walk to balance their alleged illicit activities and their everyday lives. Jayshree, a graduate from Alwar University, allegedly worked as a key player in a sextortion gang, using her charm to lure victims into compromising situations, police said. "The racket comprised social media profile analysts, extortion callers and individuals impersonating police officers to intimidate victims with false legal threats unless they complied with extortion demands," said joint commissioner Surender Kumar. These persons allegedly employed a deceitful method to lure and exploit victims. The modus operandi was to check profiles of prospective targets on social media and get them to chat. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Genera ingresos extras con IA desde casa: una manera astuta de empezar a invertir con éxito [CFD] Digital Group Prueba ahora Undo After establishing a connection, they would suddenly initiate video calls with AI-generated models, and the background voice was of a female. "During interrogation by ACP Anil Sharma, they disclosed that they would initially send friend requests on Facebook and Instagram and obtain the victim's mobile number through Facebook Messenger. Subsequently, they would initiate a video call on WhatsApp, during which they would stream obscene clips, secretly recording the victim's screen and reactions using screen recording tools," said DCP (crime) Aditya Gautam. The recorded content was then used to blackmail the victim under threats of publicly circulating the video on social media platforms, thereby coercing them into transferring money, said police. The sextortion gang, allegedly led by Jahid (20), targeted victims through compromising videos, with Jayshree (24), a former SBI BPO employee, making calls and luring victims into compromising situations. Raheesh (21), Sohil (18) and Jaiveer (24) were also part of this module, cops said. Another modus operandi of the call centre was to trap people by offering fake bank loans. Initially, the telecallers, under directions from Dilshad Ali, contacted potential victims, offering them attractive loan deals. Once they gained the victim's trust, the telecaller would request identification and other personal documents via WhatsApp. The victim was then asked to make a payment through a QR code scanner under the pretext of file processing fees. After the payment was received, the victim's follow-up messages and calls were ignored. The fraudsters would then switch off their mobile devices and change their contact numbers, effectively cutting off all communication. At the heart of the operation were Ujjawal Pandey (30) and Gaurav Barua (24), who allegedly masterminded the racket. Pandey, owner of a cyber café in Krishna Nagar, began selling fake account kits and SIM cards while Barua, a graduate from Ignou, facilitated pre-activated account kit transactions, said police. Their partnership enabled the smooth functioning of the scam, with Yug Sharma (18) allegedly assisting in supplying fake SIM cards and account kits. Ali employed several telecallers, including Saurav (27), Pravesh (28), Akshita (18), Raunak (24), Dimple (20) and Pinki (24), to pose as loan service representatives and dupe customers into divulging sensitive information. Another key player, Amit, owned the call centres and is absconding. He also supervised operations, cops said.

Court quashes its order to lodge FIR against Nagpur SP, PI
Vadodara: In a relief for the Nagpur rural police, the family court in Vadodara has recalled and quashed its earlier order directing the filing of an FIR against the superintendent of police (SP) (rural) and a police inspector from Nagpur, after both officers tendered an unconditional apology to the court. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In March, the court had ordered an FIR after the Nagpur (rural) police failed to execute warrants issued against a local businessman in a maintenance case. While recalling the FIR order, the court of PH Singh noted that the applicants (the police officers) must henceforth discharge their duties with due diligence and a sense of responsibility. On March 29, the court had directed the registrar to register an FIR at the Akota police station against the Nagpur police officials for intentionally disobeying lawful directions, harbouring an offender whose arrest had been ordered, and violating the law with the intent to shield a person from punishment. Akshita Meskar, a Vadodara resident, had filed a maintenance case in 2014 against her husband Jitendra, a native of Nagpur. In 2017, the court ordered Jitendra to pay her Rs 25,000 per month. After he failed to comply, Akshita filed a recovery application in the family court in 2018. The court subsequently issued multiple distress warrants addressed to the Nagpur SP (rural) and the Umred police inspector, none of which were executed. The court observed that the police had flouted its orders, displaying negligence in the execution of their duties. On March 12, 2025, it issued a notice to SP Nagpur (rural) via email and registered post, with a copy also sent to the DIG, Nagpur Range, and the DGP, Maharashtra. The court summoned SP Nagpur (rural) to appear in person on March 27 and provide a written explanation as to why the Umred police had failed to execute the warrants since 2018 and why the dues had not been recovered from Jitendra and paid to Akshita. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now When no response was received from the SP or his subordinates on the due date, the court ordered the registration of an FIR on March 29. However, following the FIR order, the Nagpur police promptly arrested Jitendra and produced him before the court, which sentenced him to jail. The SP (rural) also emailed an apology to the court. The family court noted that the warrant was executed, and Jitendra was arrested and presented before the court on April 2—a day after The Times of India reported the matter. He was jailed for failing to pay maintenance. The court acknowledged that Jitendra has since paid the entire outstanding amount and remarked that the primary objective of ensuring justice for his wife has been achieved.
