The viral Facebook Live video, dated October 21, features Lokendra, also known as Kartoos Yadav, a resident of Pandhari village under the jurisdiction of Sumerpur police station area in Hamirpur district. Yadav is incarcerated at Mahoba sub-jail in connection with a case of murder. According to Jailer Shiv Murat Singh, on October 21, Yadav had a scheduled court appearance at the ADJ/Fast Track Court II in Hamirpur district. He was escorted in a Vajra vehicle provided by the police department, under the supervision of SI Shashank Dev, Head Constable Arvind Arya, Koshlendra Mishra, and Constable Kamlesh Kumar.
This unexpected development left his Facebook acquaintances astounded
As Yadav was en route in the Vajra vehicle, he initiated a Facebook Live broadcast using his mobile device, proceeding to issue threats to his adversaries. This unexpected development left his Facebook acquaintances astounded. Subsequently, someone recorded the Facebook Live video and disseminated it widely. The incident raised serious concerns about law and order, as it was unprecedented for a prisoner en route to a hearing to conduct a live broadcast on a public platform like Facebook. The video’s virality triggered a significant reaction within the police department.
Investigation underway
Jailer Shiv Murat Singh, in light of the incident, has emphasized that the prisoner executed the Facebook Live stream while leaving the jail premises for the hearing. He asserts that the responsibility for this occurrence lies outside the purview of the jail administration. The mechanism by which the prisoner accessed and utilised a mobile device for a Facebook Live broadcast is currently under investigation.
It is disconcerting that a high-risk accused individual could conduct a Facebook Live
It is disconcerting that a high-risk accused individual could conduct a Facebook Live broadcast without reservation while on the way to a court appearance. The reticence of those accountable, even in acknowledging the incident, let alone taking action, is perplexing. This situation casts a shadow on the operational protocols of law enforcement. The possession and use of a mobile phone by an inmate within a correctional facility, to conduct a Facebook Live broadcast, exposes a serious lapse in security both within and beyond the confines of the jail. This breach could potentially lead to a significant criminal event in the future.

Mumbai Police Bust Fake Goregaon Call Centre Defrauding Foreigners; 13 Held

The Mumbai Crime Branch Unit 12 has uncovered a major scam targeting foreign nationals, following a raid on an unauthorised call centre in Goregaon. The update was first shared by Mumbai Police on X, highlighting how unsuspecting victims were tricked into paying large sums of money under the pretext of antivirus software renewal.
Investigations revealed that the accused were sending fraudulent emails, posing as legitimate antivirus renewal alerts. Once the victims responded, they were coerced into purchasing gift cards ranging between $250 and $500. These cards were then redeemed and converted into cryptocurrency, making it nearly impossible for victims to track their losses.
The racket primarily preyed on foreign nationals unfamiliar with the setup. Officials said the scam was designed to create panic among users by suggesting that their computer security had expired, pressuring them into making quick payments.
During the raid, police seized 15 desktop computers, 10 laptops, and 20 mobile phones used to run the fraudulent operations. Documents and data recovered from the systems are now being examined to determine the scale of the fraud and to identify additional victims.
Thirteen individuals have been arrested in connection with the racket. This includes two owners who were running the operation, one manager overseeing daily activities, and ten tele-caller agents responsible for contacting and convincing the victims. Police said the arrests mark a significant step in cracking down on cybercrime networks exploiting international victims.
The Mumbai Police emphasised that this bust highlights the evolving nature of cybercrime and the need for continuous vigilance. Authorities added that further investigations are underway to uncover links with larger international fraud syndicates.

Thane: 27-Year-Old Man Thrashed By Mob For Objecting To Public Urination In Kalyan

Thane: A 27-year-old man was brutally assaulted by a group of around 15 people after he questioned a drunk man for urinating in a public place near Murbad Road in Kalyan. The shocking incident occurred around 10:30 pm on Friday near Mhaskar Hospital Chowk.
The victim, Kaustubh Mahendra Yerpude, a resident of Murar Bagh, sustained serious injuries after one of the attackers struck him on the head with a beer bottle, causing heavy bleeding.
Kaustubh, who works at an insurance company in Mumbai, was returning home from Kalyan railway station on his two-wheeler along with his friend Sachin Dombe. When their bike stalled near Bhagwan Medical, they pushed it to a nearby repair shop. Exhausted and sweating, Kaustubh stepped into a dark corner near Rohit Wine Shop.
There, he encountered a 35-year-old drunk man urinating in public. When Kaustubh questioned the man’s behaviour, the man became aggressive and slapped him. An argument followed, but the drunk individual left shortly after, only to return with around 15 men, some reportedly under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The group surrounded Kaustubh, verbally abused him, and then began beating him. One man smashed an empty beer bottle on Kaustubh’s head during the attack, as reported. Bleeding and injured, Kaustubh tried to fight back, but was overwhelmed by the mob. The attackers fled the scene after the assault.
This disturbing incident has sparked concern among residents, who are urging the Mahatma Phule Police to take swift and strict action. Citizens are demanding that police immediately check CCTV footage from the surrounding area, identify the attackers, and ensure their arrest without delay.
