Man poses as rich bachelor to cheat people on matrimonial site, held

[ad_1]
New Delhi: A man was arrested for cheating innocent people by projecting himself as a rich bachelor on a matrimonial site, and used expensive cars to impress his victims, a Delhi Police official said on Friday.
The accused identified as Vishal, a resident of Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh, further duped the victims by offering iPhones at cheaper rates and got the money transferred.
According to police, the complainant, a 26-year-old woman, reported to the police that her parents made her profile on a matrimony site, and she came across Vishal’s profile.

“He projected himself as a HR professional having an income of Rs 50-70 lakh per annum. He won over her trust and convinced her to purchase iPhones at cheaper rates for her relatives and friends. She transferred a total of Rs 3,05,799 in eight transactions,” said Jitendra Kumar Meena, Deputy Commissioner of Police (north-west).
“After blocking her on social media platforms, he informed her that he met with an accident and was admitted to a hospital in Jaipur, and stopped attending her calls,” said the DCP.
“After some days of incident, posing as a decoy a request on the same matrimonial site was sent to the alleged man. He accepted the request and started influencing her in a similar manner, by projecting himself as a HR professional and rich bachelor. The decoy female asked him for a meeting and when he came to meet her, he was nabbed,” said the official.
During interrogation, Vishal confessed to his involvement in this cheating and disclosed that after completion of his studies of BCA and MBA from Delhi, he worked as a HR professional in a MNC in Gurugram in 2018.
“Vishal left his job in 2021 and started his business by opening a restaurant in Gurugram, which was not successful. He made a profile on a matrimonial site — Jeevnasathi.com — and projected himself as a rich bachelor,” said the official.

In order to create an impression, he hired an expensive car for 15 days through an app and paid Rs 2500 per day. He showed some villas and farmhouses as his properties in Gurugram and also projected his well-off business of a food chain in Gurugram, in order to win over the trust of families looking for suitable matches.
“He offered iPhone-14 pro max at a cheaper rate and convinced the victim to buy it, in order to earn profit,” said the official, adding that further efforts are being made to trace his possible involvement in other similar complaints also and his bank account details are further being scrutinised.

Web series-inspired fake currency racket busted, 5 held, say Noida Police

[ad_1]
Noida: Noida Police on Tuesday said it has busted a fake currency racket here with the arrest of five people and seized counterfeit notes of the face value of around Rs 6.50 lakh ahead of local body polls in Uttar Pradesh.
According to police, the gang members were inspired by the popular web series ‘Farzi’ and used Instagram to connect with their network spread across Delhi-NCR, and parts of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
Additional DCP (Noida) Shakti Avasthy said the arrest has been made by officials of Sector 24 police station and the recovered banknotes include forged notes of denominations 2000, 500 and 200.

“The five people arrested are Faiz Khan, Shibu Khan, Aditya Gupta, Ayush Gupta and Hari Om Atri. They had a chain of network to supply fake notes. They got double the number of fake notes like Rs 200 in fake notes for Rs 100 real currency and the profit margin increased up to four times as one went higher up in the supply chain,” Avasthy told reporters.
“Three men were wanted in connection with the case. One of them has been identified as ‘Singhania’, who lives in Chhapra district of Bihar, and printed these notes, the other is ‘Bhola’, who stays in Delhi and the third goes by the name of ‘Mobin’ in Lucknow,” the officer said.
The police said the accused used WhatsApp with virtual phone numbers to evade tracking.
“They also used Instagram for networking and made reels related to fake currencies. They got in touch with their clients through comments on YouTube videos. They were also inspired by a web series which was released two to three months ago,” Avasthy said.
Of those held, Shibu had been working in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, while Faiz was in Kuwait until recently, the police said.

The police said the fake notes were being procured from “Singhania” in Bihar and “Bhola” in Delhi. Both of them were printing the fake notes, police said.
The main accused, Faiz Khan, lived in Kuwait and ran his business in Bihar, Lucknow, Noida, Jaipur and the Delhi NCR region, police officials said.
An FIR has been lodged under Indian Penal Code sections 420 (cheating) and provisions pertaining to counterfeit Indian currency notes, they added.

Hyderabad youths held for driving dangerously – Know penalty for such offences

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Hyderabad police recently took action against six youngsters who were driving their vehicles dangerously at Malakpet.
These youngsters were performing daredevil stunts on their two-wheelers, all for the sake of the social media craze.
They were shooting videos of their acts on their cellphone and later uploading them on social media. After receiving complaints, police took action against them for reckless behaviour.

After coming to know about the incident, the police analysed CCTV cameras to identify the youth. Soon after identifying them, the police seized three vehicles from them.
The police called the youngsters along with their parents and counselled them about the dangers of reckless driving and the consequences of such behaviour.
Penalties for reckless driving in Hyderabad
Under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, driving a vehicle dangerously at high speed, rash and negligent driving may attract a fine of Rs. 1000 as per section 184(b). A fine of Rs. 1000 can also be imposed on those who drive a vehicle dangerously, posing a threat to the lives of other people.
Apart from these sections, section 279 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) deals with situations where a person drives a vehicle dangerously, posing a threat to the lives of other people. Under this section, the penalty will be decided by the court, which can be much more severe than the fines levied under the Motor Vehicles Act.
The penalties for reckless driving and dangerous driving must be stringent enough to deter people from engaging in such behaviour. Driving dangerously not only puts the lives of the driver at risk but also endangers the lives of other people on the road.
