Bhopal advocate duped of Rs 78.25 lakh in stock market investment fraud
Bhopal: A Bhopal-based senior advocate was allegedly duped by unidentified cyber-criminals in a major investment fraud involving Rs 78.25 lakh under the pretence of stock market investments. Cyber-criminals lured the advocate with promises of high returns, initially offering small profits to gain his trust. However, after larger sums were invested, the scammers demanded Rs65 lakh as a tax amount before releasing the returns, leading the victim to realise he was duped. Acting on the complaint, the Cyber-crime Branch registered a case against unidentified accused and started investigations. According to the police, the victim, a 52-year-old senior advocate residing in Sagar Avenue, Ayodhya Bypass, practises at the District Court. He lodged a complaint with the Cyber-crime Branch on February 15 detailing the fraud. Police said that on December 2, 2024, the advocate was contacted by a woman named "Suhani Sharma" through Facebook. Claiming to be a stock market expert, she convinced him to join trading via a mobile app and provided further details through Telegram and WhatsApp groups. She initially asked him to invest Rs1 lakh in what she claimed were verified, registered firms and bank accounts. Satisfied with the initial documentation, the advocate transferred Rs75,000 through an online payment wallet. By December 4, he received Rs15,642 as profit, further strengthening his trust. Encouraged by the returns, the advocate proceeded to invest a total of Rs78.25 lakh in multiple accounts, believing them to be genuine and authorised by nationalised banks, in accordance with RBI regulations. However, the accounts were fake and fraudulently opened. Trouble began when he attempted to withdraw part of his investment. The scammers, including "Suhani Sharma", informed him that he would need to pay Rs65 lakh as a tax fee before any funds could be released. When the advocate requested clarification, the accused began evading questions and insisted the payment was mandatory. Realising he was conned after repeated failed attempts to withdraw his funds, the advocate filed a complaint with the Cyber-crime Branch. A case was registered, and an investigation is underway to identify and nab the fraudsters involved.

Nashik: The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has decided to raze six dangerous wadas along the Ram Kal Path — designed from Seeta Gumpha near Kala Ram Mandir to Ram Kunda in the Panchavati area.

"As part of the preparations, the NMC has decided to remove the dangerous structures that could likely cause problems. Hence, these six wadas have been marked as dangerous, and the residents are being relocated,"a senior civic official said. The structures that are to be removed are Inamdar Wada, Kelkar Wada, part of More Wada, Tulshidas Dharamshala, and two others. "The work must begin at the earliest as the project is being monitored by central govt. We may face some opposition from the locals, but the administration is taking them into confidence. The administration will have to appropriately compensate them and that is also under positive consideration," the official added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ecuatoriano: descubre cómo ganar más con Amazon CFD.

PMC approves 65 crore funds for road repairs ahead of monsoon
Pune: The civic body has cleared funds of around Rs65 crore for road repairs and restorations ahead of the rainy season, which officials said are likely to gather pace now. The civic estimates committee on Monday approved the funds to ensure that these pre-monsoon repair works are completed by May 31. However, residents and activists highlighted that the road repairs should not be rushed and should be of good quality to survive the rains. The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) had last week claimed that it plans to provide pothole-free roads to commuters by carrying out micro-surfacing works on various stretches. According to PMC officials, a survey was conducted through the Road Asset Management System (RAMS) to study treatments needed on various roads before the monsoon. Based on this, roads covering approximately 50km were identified for preventive maintenance using low-cost treatments. Overall, the civic body plans to spend Rs15 crore on this project alone. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Seniors Born 1941-1979 Receive 55 Benefits This Month if They Ask WalletJump Learn More Undo Vijay Kumbhar of citizens' group Surajya Sangharsha Samiti cautioned, "The civic administration issues tenders for pre-monsoon works and they get approved at very low rates. Poor quality materials are used for repairs of roads and other pre-monsoon works. This affects the overall quality of the road, which leads to potholes." Many city residents said PMC must ensure good quality roads that last beyond the monsoon and remain in good condition all year round. Sinhagad Road resident Samir Paranjape told TOI, "Taxpayers' money is used to build the roads and for their repairs. But we don't get good roads in return. It is nothing but wastage of public funds." Further, civic officials have revealed that post-monsoon several roads will be dug up under PMC limits. This is because works like laying cables for a CCTV network for the police department and a data-sharing network for govt authorities are scheduled. Nearly Rs600 crore of taxpayers' money will be spent on these digging and restoration works.
