Woman duped of 7L over fake online traffic challan
1 2 3 Pune: A woman (33) from Ambegaon Pathar lodged a complaint with the police on Sunday, stating that online fraudsters cheated her of Rs 7 lakh on May 21 by siphoning off money from her bank account through a fake online traffic challan. The Ambegaon police reported that the woman owned a scooter and thought she might have breached a traffic rule. The victim, who works as clerical staff with a private company, opened the message embedded with a link. The fraudsters sent the message with the title 'RTO Traffic Challan', mentioning a fine of Rs 500. Senior inspector Sharad Zine of Ambegaon police told TOI, "The woman ended up downloading remote access software. Unknowingly, she also filled out a form with her personal and banking details as the software prompted her to do so. She just followed all the steps as directed by the software." "Once she filled out the form and unknowingly shared the PIN of the software online, the suspects took control of her phone and siphoned off money from her bank account using the details she filled in the form. The money went to six different bank accounts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The woman did not receive any messages when the suspects siphoned off the money from her bank account as the suspects had control of her mobile phone. The suspects released control of her mobile phone after two days, and then the woman checked her bank account online and realised the scam," he said. This is the second such case in the city. Earlier, on May 27, a third-year architecture degree course student (22) from a prominent college in Karvenagar lost Rs 2.02 lakh to cyber crooks between May 17 and 18 after she received a bogus traffic challan message embedded with a link to remote access software. Her friend received an "RTO challan" of Rs 2,000 for a traffic rule violation on May 17. The challan did not open on the phone of the victim's friend. She then forwarded it to the victim, who used the two-wheeler on May 16. The student thought she might have breached a traffic rule while driving the scooter, clicked on the embedded link, and ended up losing Rs 2.02 lakhs.

Cops arrest six Bangladeshis for illegal stay
1 2 3 Pune: The Ambegaon police on Friday arrested two women – aged 27 and 30 – for illegally staying in India in a Katraj flat for the last two months. Senior inspector Sharad Zine of Ambegaon police told TOI that the women were from Khulna in Bangladesh and shifted to a flat illegally without any valid immigration documents or passport. They crossed the border two months ago and are unemployed. Zine said, "On May 17, we arrested a man (33), also from Khulna in Bangladesh, and two women from a flat in Katraj. The two women were residents of Norail in Bangladesh. The two women we arrested on June 13 (Friday) were staying in an adjacent flat at the time. When we were executing the raid on May 17, these two women attempted to flee from their flat by jumping off their balconies and got their legs fractured in the attempt. " "Following this, they were moved to the Sassoon General Hospital for treatment. They were discharged on Thursday and then we registered a fresh case against these two women," he said. "The two women were taken to Pune by the man. He helped them cross the border and promised them odd jobs in India," he said. In another such action, the Military Intelligence officers, along with the Kondhwa Police, arrested four young men, all from Bangladesh, from a labour camp in Kondhwa on Friday. The four men came to Pune from Kolkata after crossing the India-Bangladesh border illegally about two months ago. They were staying illegally in India for the past four months. Police said they had forged and fabricated Aadhaar and PAN cards. Apart from these IDs, they were found using cellphones. All the ID cards and their phones were seized for further investigation.
