NBI nabs 2 alleged scammers in Pasay
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Wednesday announced the arrest of two individuals for large scale estafa in Pasay City. According to the NBI, one of the subjects introduced himself as the nephew and agent of a 'Mr. Kumar,' an alleged owner of a lending company, to the complainant, claiming that he could process and secure the approval of a cash loan amounting to P20 million in exchange for a facilitation fee. As a facilitation fee, the complainant said she gave one of the suspects a Hermes Birkin 35 Raisin Clemence and gold hardware worth an estimated P500,000. She also later gave him luxury bags, jewelry, and other items amounting to P11.8 million. However, the complainant was informed by a friend that Mr. Kumar does not own a lending company. She was later able to reach out to the real Mr. Kumar, who told her that he was not the person she transacted with. When the subject demanded another P42,000 from the complainant for the release of her loan, she filed a complaint before the NBI and requested an entrapment operation. On May 27, the NBI conducted the entrapment operation against the subject, leading to his arrest. During the booking procedures, a certain individual called the subject's phone and demanded his share of the facilitation fee. The NBI then conducted a hot pursuit operation, leading to the arrest of the second individual. The two underwent inquest proceedings before Pasay City prosecutors for Large-Scale Estafa under Article 315, paragraph 2(a) of the Revised Penal Code. The NBI said their arrest is also related to Section 6 of Republic Act No. 10175 (Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012) and computer-related identity theft under Section 4(b) (3) of Republic Act No. 10175. —Joahna Lei Casilao/RF, GMA Integrated News

Gulveer Singh Wins India's First Gold at Asian Athletics Championships
National record holder and RF athlete Gulveer Singh secured India's first gold medal at the 27th Asian Athletics Championships on Tuesday, winning the men's 10,000m event. The 26-year-old Gulveer, a bronze medallist at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games and a pre-race favorite, clocked 28 minutes 38.63 seconds to claim his maiden Asian Championships gold medal. Japan's Mebuki Suzuki (28:43.84) took the silver, while Bahrain's Albert Kibichi Rop (28:46.82) won the bronze. Another Indian participant, Sawan Barwal, finished fourth with a time of 28:50.53. At the end of the opening day, India stood second in the medal tally with one gold and one bronze, behind China (5 gold, 2 silver) and ahead of Japan (3 silver, 2 bronze). 'Irrespective of the time, the main goal was to finish first. I am happy to have successfully implemented my race strategy," said Gulveer, an athlete from the Reliance Foundation. 'The gold medal will certainly boost my world ranking and enhance my chances of qualifying for the Tokyo World Athletics Championships in September." The automatic qualification time for the men's 10,000m is 27 minutes. Due to the warm weather, the local organizing committee set up a water station during the 10,000m track race. 'I surged ahead in the last lap and shifted to top gear at the 200m mark. Had someone pushed me, I could have gone faster as I wasn't tired after crossing the finish line," Gulveer remarked. Earlier in the day, Sebastian claimed India's first medal with a bronze in the men's 20km race walk event, clocking 1 hour 21 minutes and 13.60 seconds. However, there was disappointment in the women's javelin throw, where Asian Games gold medallist and national record holder Annu Rani finished fourth with a below-par effort of 58.30m. Born to a farmer father in Sirsa village of Atrauli Tehsil in Aligarh district of Uttar Pradesh, Gulveer has been breaking national records, with his latest being 27:00.22 in the 10,000m earlier this year. Entering the event as the Asian leader this season, Gulveer ran a well-calculated race to eventually leave his rivals far behind. Gulveer is the third Indian to win the 10,000m gold after Hari Chand (1975) and G Lakshmanan (2017). He also holds the national record in the 5,000m, in which he is competing here and aims to improve on his bronze from the 2023 Asian Championships. (with agency inputs)
