Man denied mediclaim over Google Maps mismatch: Here's all you need to know
In a rare but telling case, a Gujarat resident's health insurance claim was rejected because his Google Timeline didn't match the hospital location. According to a PTI report, Vallabh Matka from Silvassa was admitted to a hospital in September 2024 for viral pneumonia and later denied reimbursement by Go Digit General Insurance, which flagged discrepancies between his statement and his phone's location data. The Valsad district consumer forum ruled in Matka's favour this month, noting that the insurer had no justifiable grounds and must settle Rs 48,251 with 8 per cent interest. Can insurers legally reject claims using Google data? 'Insurers can reject a claim based on Google Timeline, but only under strict conditions,' said Hari Radhakrishnan, expert at the Insurance Brokers Association of India (IBAI). 'The data must be lawfully obtained with informed consent under India's digital data protection laws and should decisively support the insurer's claim. But mobile phones can be used by others, so the data often needs corroboration,' he said. Anita Teli, chief compliance officer at Probus Insurance, clarified that digital data cannot be treated as standalone proof. 'Insurers must rely on medical records, bills, and discharge summaries. Digital tools may support a fraud investigation but aren't legally admissible as sole evidence,' Teli said. How policyholders can protect themselves Teli advised policyholders to keep full documentation, including prescriptions, hospital admission records, and discharge papers. 'Make sure you notify your insurer upon hospitalisation and avoid any mismatches in submitted forms,' she said. Radhakrishnan added that consumers should understand data-sharing implications before granting access to personal digital information. 'If you suspect misuse, raise a grievance with the insurer. If unresolved, escalate to the ombudsman,' he said. Is this part of a broader trend? Both experts agree that insurers are increasingly using digital tools to detect fraud, but not for blanket claim denials. 'There have been cases where Google data was used to disprove someone's presence at an accident site,' Radhakrishnan noted. But Teli clarified these are exceptions, not the norm. What to do if your claim is wrongly denied Consumers have multiple channels for redressal. 'Start with the insurer's grievance redressal team,' said Teli. 'If the issue persists, register on the Irdai's Grievance Management System or approach the Insurance Ombudsman.' While consumer forums offer recourse, Radhakrishnan cautioned that they are often burdened with cases, making resolution slow.

Mumbai: A Mumbai magistrate on Wednesday granted bail to a 22-year-old Mangaluru youth, Bilal Ahmed Teli, who was caught allegedly illegally residing on the campus for nearly three weeks. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The police earlier said he was driven by an intense fascination with the IIT brand rather than any sinister motive. The prosecution case was that a security guard at IIT Powai on June 17 was informed that the accused was found sitting in a lecture hall and attending a lecture after it was found that he was nowhere in the system as a student. He was booked for trespass and other offences under BNS. Advocate Faisal Shaikh, representing Teli, argued that before his arrest, Teli was "illegally detained for two days" and the FIR was registered on June 19 for bailable offences. When Teli left for his hometown, he was called back by the police on June 22 and on June 25 was arrested for alleged non-cooperation after more offences were invoked.

SC rejects plea to halt release of 'Udaipur Files'; refuses urgent relief to Kanhaiya Lal murder accused
The movie is slated for release on July 11. The petitioner, Javed's lawyer, sought to stop the release of the film on the grounds that the movie shows a one-sided picture of the events and will prejudice his right to a fair trial. "It is releasing on Friday Trailer was released on July 4. They are showing only the prosecution side," the lawyer for Javed argued before the apex court. He sought a stay of the film's release till the trial in the case is over. Teli, a Udaipur-based tailor, was brutally murdered in June 2022, allegedly by Mohammad Riyaz and Mohammad Ghous. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), and offences under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) and the Indian Penal Code (IPC) have been framed against the accused. The trial is at present going on before the Special NIA Court, Jaipur. The assailants recorded the attack on camera and shared it online. Javed elaborated in his plea that the film seemed to be communally provocative from its trailer and promotional materials. "Releasing such a movie at this juncture, portraying the accused as guilty and the story as conclusively true, has the potential to seriously prejudice the ongoing proceedings," he stated in his plea. Javed highlighted in his petition that if the film were released, then it would very likely compromise the presumption of innocence and risk influencing public opinion in a manner that could affect the fairness of the trial. "This directly impacts the right to a free and fair trial of the Petitioner, as guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India," said Javed in his petition filed before the top court.

Not terror, ‘awe of IIT brand' drove youth to campus
Mumbai: A 22-year-old from Mangaluru, Bilal Ahmed Teli, who had been allegedly caught residing illegally on the IIT Bombay campus for nearly three weeks, was driven by an intense fascination with the IIT brand rather than any sinister motive, the crime branch has concluded. After extensive interrogations by Mumbai Police , Mangaluru Police, Intelligence Bureau, and Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad, authorities have ruled out any terror link in Teli's prolonged unauthorised stay on the premier technology institute. "Prima facie, it appears he was obsessed with associating himself with the IIT tag to bolster his career," said a senior police officer involved in the probe. "Despite scoring poorly in his class 10 exam, he developed a strong interest in engineering and technical subjects. While working for two marketing companies in Mangaluru, he even travelled to Qatar and Kuwait on brief sojourns, which we have confirmed were official visits.

He stayed on the campus from May 29 to June 17, managing to slip past security checks multiple times. Police said that IIT records show that he had registered for one day online lectures on Artificial Intelligence. He first entered the campus on May 29, using forged documents, including a guest entry made through a suspicious phone call to the IIT gate control room. Police said the mobile number he had provided was fake. Teli returned to the campus after a trip to Surat for Eid and continued his stay undetected until a staffer, Shilpa Kotikal, identified him in a lecture hall. She had raised concerns on June 4 when he entered her office without authorisation and fled. Following his arrest, the Crime Intelligence Unit registered a fresh FIR against him on June 24 under various sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including criminal trespass, impersonation, forgery, cheating, and others.
