[ad_1]
Gurugram: A Nigerian national was arrested for duping a Gurugram woman of Rs 2 lakh on the pretext of custom clearance after they met on a matrimonial site, police said on Monday.
The accused, identified as Ignatus Ngosine, was arrested from Delhi on Sunday night, they said.
According to the complainant, she started talking to the accused, who posed as a project manager working with a Turkish company, in March, police said.

The accused, who introduced himself as Shiva Jhadav from India, asked the woman for her address saying that he wanted to send her some gifts. The complainant then received a call from one Sunita who posed as a customs officer from Mumbai Airport, they said.
The fraudster told the complainant that some parcels have been received from Turkey in her name and asked her to pay Rs 38,500 for custom clearance.
She also said that if I did not pay the clearance then she will be arrested by the police and I paid the amount twice, the woman said in her complaint.
On March 20, the victim received another call from the same woman demanding Rs 1,35,000 for custom certificate clearance, she alleged.
“Due to pressure I again paid the amount and later they demanded Rs 2.5 lakh more and then I found myself duped and moved to police,” she said in her complaint.

An FIR was registered under sections 419 (cheating by impersonation), 420 (cheating), and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of Indian Penal Code at cybercrime, south police station on Friday, police said.
“The accused, along with other gang members, is involved in this kind of fraud and he had cheated many women. We are questioning him to solve other incidents,” said Subhash Boken, spokesperson of Gurugram police.

Indian-American held for fire-bombing Wisconsin building

[ad_1]
Washington: An Indian-descent man has been arrested for alleged involvement in the fire-bombing of in an office building in the US’ Wisconsin state last May.
Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury, a 29-year-old resident of Madison, Wisconsin, was arrested at Boston’s international airport on Tuesday, according to court papers.
He is charged with one count of attempting to cause damage by means of fire or an explosive. If convicted, he faces between 5 and 20 years in prison.

It’s a rare occurrence for the Indian American community, which is considered a model minority in the US, with the highest levels of education and mean household income. There have been few, if any at all, instances of their Involvement in crime or activism-related criminal offences.
Law enforcement officials had found a slogan painted on a wall at the fire-bombing site, which could point to Roychowdhury’s motivation: “If abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either” and, on another wall, a large letter “A” with a circle around it and the number “1312” (which is a numerical rendition of the acronym ACAB – “All Cops Are B**tards)”, a slogan used by protestors around the world and increasingly by extreme-left activists in the US in response to police killings).
The US Justice Department said Roychowdhury was given away by DNA he had left on an unfinished burrito (a Mexican cuisine roll), which, after a laboratory test, matched DNA he had left on a lighter that was found by law enforcement personnel at the site of the fire-bombing.
“According to the complaint, Mr. Roychowdhury used an incendiary device in violation of federal law in connection with his efforts to terrorize and intimidate a private organization,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division.
The Justice Department said on Mothers Day on May 8, 2022, law enforcement responded to a fire call at an office building in Madison, Wisconsin. Officials found two mason jars at the fire site — one with a missing screw-top lid and the other with the lid, with a piece of cloth tucked into it; it was also half-filled with a clear liquid, which could have been used as an accelerant. They also found a lighter that could have been used to set off the fire bombs.

By March 2023, investigators had come to zero in on Roychowdhury as a suspect. Local police officers in Boston picked up a leftover burrito he had thrown into a trash bin, along with related items. A lab test found a DNA match on the leftovers and the lighter.
Roychowdhury was arrested at the Boston Logan International Airport with a one-way ticket to Guatemala City.

Gujarat: 8 AAP workers held for putting up anti-Modi posters

[ad_1]
Ahmedabad: Eight workers of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) have been arrested for allegedly putting up posters saying “Modi Hatao Desh Bachao” in different parts of Ahmedabad city in Gujarat, police said on Friday.
The Gujarat unit of AAP condemned the arrests saying the action has proved their point that “democracy is in danger”.
In a release, the city crime branch said eight persons have been arrested on the charge of damaging public property by putting up posters with the text “Modi Hatao Desh Bachao” in areas like Isanpur, Maninagar, Vatva, Narol and Vadaj. The posters were put up by the AAP workers on Thursday, it said.
The arrests were made on Thursday night after the registration of first information reports (FIRs) in different police stations earlier in the day, said the release.
Police have identified the AAP workers as Natwar Thakor, Jatin Patel, Kuldeep Bhatt, Bipin Sharma, Ajay Chauhan, Arvind Chauhan, Jivan Maheshwari and Paresh Tulsiani.
AAP’s Gujarat vice president Sagar Rabari said though the party posted such posters in many other states on Thursday, only Gujarat police booked their workers.
“Ahmedabad is the only city where people are deprived of their Constitutional rights because police can arrest you anytime and book you as per their whims and fancies. This police action proves that our apprehension that democracy is in danger is not misplaced and we were not wrong in carrying out that poster drive,” said Rabari.
In last year’s Gujarat Assembly elections, AAP won five seats and secured 13 per cent of the popular vote, in a performance that belied its high-decibel campaign in the state. BJP registered a record 156 wins in the house of 182 seats.
