Subsidy on EVs below 40 lakh to be restored in Haryana
Gurgaon: The subsidy on electric vehicles (EVs) priced below Rs 40 lakh is set to be restored. At present, a subsidy of up to 15% is available only on EVs costing over Rs 40 lakh — a price point out of reach for the middle class. While chairing a high-level review meeting with officers from his department regarding the new MSME policy, industries and commerce minister Rao Narbir Singh on Thursday directed officials to restore the subsidy on electric vehicles to "provide relief to middle-class consumers", besides promoting eco-friendly transport. The minister emphasised that promoting green energy will be meaningful only if its benefits reach the common citizen.

Trust, deceit: How this duo conned SUV buyers in scam that funded lavish lifestyle
Gurgaon: They didn't own a car of their own but made a fortune "selling" SUVs online. A couple was arrested on Thursday from their rented 3BHK condominium in Sector 77 for allegedly cheating online users looking to buy high-end SUVs. City police said on Friday that Jagmeet Singh alias Suraj Lamba (40) and Amrita Kaur (38) funded their lavish lifestyle, including monthly rent of Rs 50,000 for their flat at Palm Hills Society, through the scam. They targeted buyers on e-commerce platforms like OLX, a police officer said on Friday. You Can Also Check: Gurgaon AQI | Weather in Gurgaon | Bank Holidays in Gurgaon | Public Holidays in Gurgaon "Their modus operandi was simple but effective. The couple would browse listings for high-end cars and contact the real sellers. They would pose as buyers and pay a nominal amount. Once trust was established, they would convince the sellers to take down the listings. Then, the couple would pose as owners of the car and repost ads about selling it," the police officer said. Police suspect that the duo amassed at least Rs 15 lakh and was cheating online users for the past three years. Cops said the couple came under scrutiny after a city resident filed a police complaint on April 1, alleging that Rs 50,000 was paid as token amount to a woman who was selling a Toyota Fortuner online. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo After transferring this amount, the woman stopped responding and taking the resident's calls. An FIR was registered at the Cyber West police station under Section 318 (cheating) of BNS. Investigators probing the case traced the seller's social media activity and mobile location to zero-in on the couple. Amrita, police said, would manage the online listings and Jagmeet would contact the car sellers. After collecting the money, the couple would buy jewellery with it and then sell it off in Delhi to convert it into cash, the police officer told TOI. Police also found out that Jagmeet, a former car dealer in Delhi's Saket, has a history of running such scams. He was earlier jailed in Bhondsi for 30 days for cheating a user by offering to sell an Innova car, and was lodged in Jalandhar prison for 45 days for a similar fraud involving a Fortuner. There are at least six cyberfraud cases registered against him in Punjab, Gurgaon and Delhi. Police on Thursday obtained a two-day remand for questioning the two accused. They are trying to find out the extent of the scam and other possible accomplices.
