Aliana back on track after injury woes
KUALA LUMPUR: National track rider Aliana Azizan, who suffered multiple injuries in a crash last year, is expected to make a full comeback at the international level next season. National track cycling team head coach Harnizam Basri said he was pleased with both Aliana's performances as well as her confidence on the bike at the recent National Championships in Johor. It was her first race since suffering a fractured rib and a concussion in a local race in October last year. "She only trained for a month before the National Championships so to achieve what she did was quite impressive," said Harnizam recently. "Before that (one month period) she did not train on the bike. She would feel dizzy (due to effects of concussion) after doing gym work so we did not want to risk her losing her balance on the bike and crashing. "She has, however, improved a lot now and looks confident on the bike. "She is determined to regain her spot in the women's team sprint squad. We gave her spot to another rider when she was recovering. "Our goal is to prepare her for what will be a busy season next year. We will, however, be careful to monitor her condition to make sure she does not get injured. "We are hoping to see her race in the UCI Nations Cup as well as the Commonwealth and Asian Games next year." Aliana, who turns 22 next month, finished third in the women's individual sprint behind Izzah (gold) and Yong Ann Tung (silver) as well as silver in the 1 kilometre time trial behind Izzah at the National Championships in Johor. Harnizam disclosed that Aliana has been working hard to improve her strength and has increased from 54 kilogrammes to 60kg which is a positive sign.

Man loses Rs 1.3L in customs scam involving fake foreign friend in Gurgaon
Gurgaon: A resident was allegedly defrauded of Rs 1.32 lakh by cybercriminals who posed as customs officials and exploited his concern for a supposed foreign Facebook friend who turned out to be a fake person. The complainant stated that he received calls on April 18 from an unknown number claiming to be from the customs department. The caller told him that his foreign friend "Aliana", who supposedly arrived from Europe, was detained at the airport due to medical clearance issues and unpaid customs duties. The accused demanded Rs 130,000 for an "Anti-Money Laundering Certificate" to release her and assured Kumar that she would refund him once freed. "I just wanted to help my friend, but it seems she never existed," Kumar wrote in his detailed statement, adding that he now doubted the identity of "Aliana", whom he had previously interacted with on Facebook. Distressed and convinced of the urgency, Kumar transferred Rs 1,32,500 via PayTM from his Union Bank of India account using a scanner shared by the fraudster. After the payment, the caller claimed that Aliana had been released and would return his money. However, when Kumar tried to contact her via WhatsApp, he found himself blocked, and he later realised he had been scammed. Following the complaint, police registered the case under Sections 318(4) and 319 of the BNS.
