Security concerns prompt transfer of three shooters
The three men responsible for the shooting and subsequent death of Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf have been transferred to a different jail in Uttar Pradesh due to security concerns. The three men, Sunny Singh, Arun Maurya, and Lavlesh Towari, all in their twenties, have been relocated from Naini jail to Pratapgarh jail after receiving intelligence inputs that suggested a possible attack against them at the former location.
Shooters sent to judicial custody
After being presented in court over the weekend, the three shooters have been remanded to judicial custody for a period of 14 days. The men reportedly sought to gain notoriety by eliminating Ahmed’s criminal organization.
Judicial inquiry committee and special investigating teams formed
The Uttar Pradesh government has tasked a judicial inquiry committee comprising three members to investigate the killings and submit a report within a timeframe of two months. Two special investigating teams (SITs) will also be formed by the state police to investigate the sensational killing incident.
Attackers posed as journalists
The attackers, who posed as journalists, shouted ‘Jai Shri Ram’ slogans after the killings and were arrested after surrendering to the police. The shooters had three fake media ID cards, a microphone, and a camera in their possession. Lavlesh was injured in the incident and is currently receiving medical treatment for a bullet wound to his foot.

CBI dismantles transnational cybercrime network targeting US nationals, three arrested

New Delhi, Aug 25: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), under its ongoing Operation Chakra-IV, has dismantled a sophisticated cybercrime network that defrauded US nationals of nearly $40 million and arrested three key accused, an agency statement said.
The action was carried out in close coordination with the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The arrested have been identified as Jigar Ahmed, Yash Khurana, and Inder Jeet Singh Bali.
According to the CBI, between 2023 and 2025, the accused gained unauthorised remote access to victims’ systems and bank accounts by posing as tech support providers.
They convinced US-based victims that their accounts were compromised and manipulated them into transferring money to cryptocurrency wallets controlled by the gang, the statement said.
The CBI registered the case on August 18 and launched extensive searches across Amritsar and Delhi. A major breakthrough came when investigators raided an illegal call centre — Digikaps The Future of Digital — being run at Global Tower, opposite Khalsa College for Women, Amritsar. At the site, 34 people were caught red-handed while engaged in cyber fraud activities.
The searches led to the seizure of 85 hard disks, 16 laptops, 44 mobile phones, incriminating digital evidence, and Rs 54 lakh in cash. Documents and additional electronic devices linked to the fraud were also recovered.
CBI investigations revealed that the accused had been funnelling proceeds of crime through cryptocurrency transactions.
Further operations are underway to trace the money trail and identify other members of the transnational cyber-enabled financial crime network, the agency said.
The probe is also pursuing international leads in coordination with Interpol and other foreign law enforcement agencies, the statement added.
The CBI noted that Operation Chakra-IV has significantly disrupted and dismantled this organised cybercrime syndicate.
Investigation into the broader network and on international leads is ongoing.
