Vijayawada police to form special team to tackle rising chit fund and financial scams
VIJAYAWADA: With financial frauds such as chit fund scams, fake deposit schemes, and gold investment traps on the rise, Vijayawada City Police is planning to set up a special team to draft Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) aimed at regulating unauthorised financial activities and protecting the public from falling prey to such schemes. The move follows two major fraud cases reported recently in which the public suffered losses of over Rs 200 crore. In the first case, more than 50 complaints were filed at Satyanarayanapuram Police Station against Muthyala Srinivasa Rao, who allegedly collected Rs 10 crore through unauthorised chit schemes by offering customers gold and attractive incentives. Rao fled the city after failing to return the money. During investigation, police discovered that he lacked the necessary licence to operate financial schemes, violating the Andhra Pradesh Protection of Depositors of Financial Establishments Rules, 1999, and the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978. 'He lured the public with promises of high returns and used promoters to expand his scheme. We arrested him and recovered 600 grams of gold and 18 kg of silver,' said North Zone ACP K Sravanthi Roy. Rao has been remanded to 14 days of judicial custody.

Prep talk: Matthew Gonzalez of Banning shows how to play at Dodger Stadium
A teammate hugs Banning catcher Matthew Gonzalez after a 3-1 loss to Carson at Dodger Stadium. He threw out two runners trying to steal during the loss. (Eric Sondheimer / Los Angeles Times) For senior catcher Matthew Gonzalez of Banning, Saturday's City Section Division I championship baseball game at Dodger Stadium ended in tears after a 3-1 defeat to Carson. Few were more impressive on the field than Gonzalez, who hardly passes the eyeball test at 5-foot-6 and 130 pounds. Thank goodness players in high school usually earn spots by their ability and performance and not by physical measurements. Advertisement He threw out two runners trying to steal second with throws that looked like they came out of a bazooka. Twice in the seventh inning he made plays at the plate, tagging runners with great expertise. The umpire ruled one runner safe (he looked out) and another runner out. Each time, Gonzalez moved on whether he agreed with the call or not. Afterward, Gonzalez received hugs from teammates and coaches trying to console him. He said he believed the runner sliding the first time was out but accepted the decision. You can see how much people appreciate his presence and character. Just like on the TV program "The Voice," ignore your eyes and what you see from physical dimensions. Just watch his arm strength and ability to block pitches and make plays at the plate. He was a catcher extraordinaire on a major league field. Nobody can take that away and perhaps someone will recognize he might help them in the future.

Prep talk: City Section takes over Dodger Stadium on Saturday
It's the greatest gift to baseball players who attend schools in the City Section. Every season since 1969, except for two years during the pandemic of 2020 and 2021, the championship game has been played at Dodger Stadium. The championships return to Dodger Stadium on Saturday. Marine League rivals Banning and Carson will face off at 10 a.m. for the Division I title, followed by El Camino Real taking on Venice at 1 p.m. for the Open Division championship. There's free parking and tickets cost $15 for adults and $12 for students. Gates open at 9 a.m. Come out tomorrow 10am Dodger stadium — Carson Baseball (@Carson_ColtsBB) May 23, 2025 Three of the four semifinal games were decided on walk-off hits, showing the parity this season. In the Open Division, El Camino Real has its top two pitchers ready to go. Devin Gonor will get the start and Luke Howe has four innings left to throw if needed. Venice has its ace, Noel Moreno (12-1) available. As usual, handling the environment and dimensions of Dodger Stadium will be key, from catchers preventing balls in the dirt from going to the backstop to outfielders making catches in the sun. Banning has beaten Carson two of three times this season. Carson is coming off a dramatic win in the semifinals over Taft in which Xavier Allen hit a walk-off, two-run home run in the 11th inning. Canon King of Venice is coming off a five-for-five performance against Birmingham. El Camino Real has won nine City titles. All the teams involved will be invited to play in the Southern California regionals that begin in two weeks. This is a daily look at the positive happenings in high school sports.
