Navi Mumbai: Police bust car theft racket, four held

Navi Mumbai: Unit One of the Crime Branch arrested four persons and busted a racket that was selling stolen cars by embossing engine numbers of accident vehicles of the same model and color. The police also seized 13 cars worth Rs 70 lakh and claimed to have solved at least 15 cases of car theft.
In the last six months, there were cases of car theft registered at different police stations in Navi Mumbai. The police checked around 250 CCTV footage and found that the accused involved in the crime moved towards Mumbai after committing the crime.
How the police cracked the case
The police checked CCTV footage in Mumbai and zeroed in on a car in the Kurla area. The police team obtained the mobile number of the car owner with the registration number from the RTO. However, the police did not find the owner at the registered address. Finally, the police traced the two accused in Kharghar and apprehended them. They were identified as Arshad Amjad Ali Khan, 27, an Old Cab driver and resident of Andheri East, and Akhtar Amjad Ali Khan, 25, an Old Cab driver and resident of Taloja Phase 1 in Navi Mumbai.

According to the police, they used to buy accident vehicles from online portals like Bid N Buy, Car Dekho, and Car Trade with or without proper documentation. They would steal similar model cars with the same color and use the engine number of accident vehicles. They would also generate new insurance and finance the vehicles to second-hand buyers.
Additionally, Unit One of the Crime Branch arrested one person for stealing car tape and recovered 22 pieces of car tape worth Rs 2,20,000. The arrested accused was identified as Abhisekh Ashok Kumar, 30, a resident of Solapur. Two more accused involved in the crime are currently absconding. They used sharp tools to break the window glass and steal car tape.

J&K Police books two drug peddlers in Sopore area

Srinagar, Oct 3: Police in J&K’s Sopore sub-division said on Friday that it has booked two drug peddlers under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (PIT NDPS) Act.
“Two habitual drug peddlers were booked under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (PIT NDPS Act), as part of their intensified campaign against narcotics in the region,” said a police statement.
The police official stated that the offenders have been identified as Umar Farooq Sheikh, son of Farooq Ahmad Sheikh, a resident of Seeloo Sopore, currently incarcerated in Kot Bhalwal Jail, Jammu, and Abdul Hamid Mir, son of Abdul Rashid Mir, a resident of Janwara Sopore, who is presently incarcerated in District Jail Poonch.
“Both accused are repeat offenders with multiple NDPS cases against them. Despite previous arrests and preventive measures, they continued their involvement in drug trafficking,” the official said.
Police stated that in the last four days alone, six repeat offenders have been booked under the PIT NDPS Act, while six others were arrested in three separate FIRs under the NDPS Act, with the recovery of contraband.
Sopore Police reiterated their zero-tolerance approach against narcotics and urged locals to report drug-related activities to help build a drug-free Sopore.
Security forces in J&K are carrying out aggressive operations against terrorists, their Over Ground Workers (OGWs) and sympathisers to dismantle the entire ecosystem of terror.
Drug peddlers and drug smugglers are under the scanner of the security forces, as it is believed that the funds generated by drug smuggling and hawala money rackets are finally used to sustain terrorism in J&K.
The duties of anti-terrorist operations are manned by the security forces and police in J&K, while the army and the Border Security Force (BSF) guard the line of control (LoC) and the international border, respectively.

Bihar Minister rejects Prashant Kishor’s corruption claims

Patna, Oct 3: Bihar Rural Works Minister Ashok Choudhary on Friday dismissed corruption allegations levelled against him by Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor, saying that mere accusations do not make anyone guilty.
Speaking to reporters in Patna, he said, “If anyone can prove I own even one dhur of land, I am ready to become that person’s slave. My wealth is in the public domain, and anyone can verify it.”
He added, “If someone says I am in partnership with Trump (Donald Trump), will anyone believe it? Let anyone prove that I or my family own one dhur of land or even property worth Rs 1 crore. No political career has ever ended merely because of allegations, and mine will not either.”
The minister emphasised his long political journey, saying, “I have been in politics since my student life. I served as the Congress state president for over four years and distributed tickets. In 2020, I was the executive president of JD(U). Those who think they can finish my career by just making allegations are mistaken. I will continue to be in Bihar politics, and no one can stop me.”
On the defamation case he filed against Prashant Kishor, Minister Choudhary said that he has received Kishor’s reply and his legal team is examining it.
Earlier, on September 23, Ashok Choudhary filed a Rs 100 crore defamation notice against Kishor.
The minister had demanded an unconditional written and public apology from Kishor within seven days, failing which, he had threatened criminal proceedings and a civil suit for damages.
In response, Kishor, on September 29, criticised Ashok Chaudhary for amassing illegal assets worth Rs 200 crore and taking hefty commissions on government contracts.
Kishor claimed to have documentary proof of Ashok Chaudhary’s alleged disproportionate assets and demanded that the minister withdraw a legal defamation notice of Rs 100 crore and issue a public apology within seven days, failing which, he would raise the matter with the Governor and the courts.

Bengaluru Horror: Woman Alleges Husband Secretly Filmed Her In Bedroom, Forced Her Into Sex With His Foreign Clients

Bengaluru: Police in Bengaluru have launched an investigation after a woman accused her husband of secretly filming their private moments and blackmailing her into having sex with his clients abroad.
The case has been registered at the Puttenahalli Police Station against the husband, Syed Inamul Haq, and three others on charges of conspiracy and harassment.
According to the complaint, Haq had installed a hidden camera in the couple’s bedroom without his wife’s knowledge. The footage, she alleged, was later shared with his friends overseas and used to threaten her. “The accused has captured private photos and videos without my consent and has shared it with his friends who are abroad,” she told police.
The woman further said her husband pressured her into meeting the demands of his clients. “He had threatened to leak the photos and videos online if I don’t accept these demands,” the complaint reads. The allegations extend to physical abuse, with claims of assault during the marriage.
The woman also accused Haq of hiding the fact that he was already married when he wed her, describing this as a deliberate deception. She alleged that the marriage quickly turned into a cycle of intimidation and violence.
Police have filed a First Information Report (FIR) against Haq and three others for their alleged involvement. Investigators confirmed that relevant sections of law have been invoked, and further inquiries are underway to verify the woman’s claims and collect additional evidence.
