Ayodhya police bust Rs 3.85 crore Ram Lalla Prasad scam, mastermind arrested
LUCKNOW: Ayodhya Police busted one of the biggest cyber scams in the history of the temple town involving an online fraud of Rs 3.85 crore carried out in the name of Ram Lalla's prasad. Exploiting the spiritual fervour among devotees following Ram Lallas consecration on January 22, 2024, the accused, posed as a professor at Northeastern University in Seattle and lured lakhs of devotees through a fake website offering Ram temple prasad delivered to their doorsteps. The scam was orchestrated by Ashish Singh, originally from Windsor Park, Indirapuram in Ghaziabad, and currently residing in the United States. He launched a fake portal, khadiorganic.com, just weeks before the 2024 consecration ceremony, collecting orders from over 6.3 lakh domestic and international devotees between December 19, 2023, and January 12, 2024. Ashish Singh was offering free delivery of prasad, temple replicas, and commemorative coins of the Ram temple. However, he charged a facilitation fee of Rs 51 from Indian users and USD 11 from overseas devotees. Through his website, Singh collected payments via multiple digital gateways, including Yes Bank, Paytm, PhonePe, MobiKwik, and IDFC, amassing Rs 10.49 crore in transactions, with Rs 3.85 crore of which was for prasad delivery alone, while the rest came from sales of other items. The scam came to light when Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust noticed suspicious online activity and flagged it to the Ayodhya Cyber Crime Unit. A criminal case was promptly registered under IPC Section 420, IT Act Section 66D, and Section 12(3) of the Passport Act, 1967. Ashish, seemingly confident of managing the fallout, returned to India on January 13 this year and travelled to Ayodhya, perhaps with the motive of some kind of negotiations or for a cover-up. But cybercrime cell sleuths arrested him upon his arrival and later presented him as the mastermind of the online fraud. The police recovered a laptop, two iPhones, Rs 13,970 in cash, USD 16, and a slew of identity and banking documents, including US and Indian ID cards, debit cards, a driving licence from Washington, and a health card. As per the Ayodhya police sources, in a cyber recovery operation, Ayodhya Police successfully refunded Rs 2.15 crore to 3,72,520 victims. Recovery efforts for the remaining Rs 1.70 crore are still underway, said the sources. Praising the cyber cell personnel for their swift and methodical response to the scam, Ayodhya SSP Gaurav Grover said it was a scam built on faith. The accused exploited peoples religious sentiments. However, our teams timely action ensured that faith wasnt betrayed entirely, he said while talking to the media. In recognition of their work, the cyber team was rewarded with Rs 15,000. Meanwhile, the Ayodhya Police urged the citizens to exercise caution, especially while making online payments related to religious services, and to verify the authenticity of any such schemes before paying the money. This case is a lesson in digital vigilance, said SSP Grover, adding that faith should never come at the cost of caution.

48 hours after Ghaziabad shooting, cops yet to track key suspect
AHMEDABAD: A nationwide scam involving the online sale of traders' GST data has come to light, with Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Noida identified as hotspots of a gang called Data Solution. The Surat Chartered Accountants Association, in a letter to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, revealed that sensitive GST data is being sold in packagesGSTR-1 for Rs 8,000 Rs 10,000 and 2B, 3B, and e-Way Bill data bundled at Rs 15,000 for three months. The expos has triggered alarm over serious lapses in the GST system and sparked calls for urgent government action. A nationwide racket involving the sale of confidential GST data of traders has surfaced, with brokers operating from office-like setups in Delhi and Ghaziabad. Far from being a backdoor operation, these data dealers function like firms, offering bulk packages of sensitive tax information to clients across the country. Instead of single-use data, brokers are selling three- and six-month bundles, tailored to demand. Rates vary based on the depth of informationRs 5,000 for basic data, Rs 7,000 for more detailed sets, and up to Rs 25,000 for premium access, including e-way bills and HSN codes. The scam gained further traction after a WhatsApp chat between a broker and a trader leaked, revealing conversations around ormal domestic data and enhanced packages featuring e-way bill details. Alarmed by the scale, the Surat Chartered Accountants Association has written to the Finance Minister, demanding urgent action to plug glaring holes in the GST data protection framework. The GST data market is currently very active and illegal, said CAAS President Hardik Kakadia. Its like a black market where confidential information is sold like vegetables in a bazaar. GSTR-1 data alone is going for Rs 8,000 to Rs 10,000. This reveals exactly to whom a trader has sold their goods. He added that even more comprehensive packages including 2B, 3B and e-Way Bill data are being sold as three-month bundles for Rs 15,000. Its alarming. These data bundles offer a full business blueprint. Anyone can simply duplicate your operations and compete directly. Kakadia said the operation is allegedly being run by a gang named Data Solution, with networks stretching across Delhi, Ghaziabad and Noida. We have the details of these packages and supporting evidence of the illegal data sales, he said. He warned that leaking such business information is like handing your playbook to your rivals before the match. This is not just a breach of privacy its a direct threat to fair competition. Were heading towards a situation where doing business wont be safe anymore. CAAS has raised the matter with the Gujarat government but believes the issue demands immediate Central Government intervention. GST was meant to be a 'Good and Simple Tax', but if these problems persist, the entire system may collapse like a house of cards, he cautioned. We dont want lip service. We want action, said the CAAS spokesperson. Our letter to the government clearly outlines the challenges traders face. Without urgent and serious steps, the credibility of the entire GST system is at stake. Sources within the Surat Chartered Accountants Association have revealed a disturbing trendbusinessmen are purchasing GST data of their competitors to gain an edge. Aspiring traders looking to set up shop in a city are allegedly approaching data brokers to access the financial footprints.

Nitish Katara murder: SC extends interim bail to Vikas Yadav for mother's surgery
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday extended by four weeks the interim bail of convict Vikas Yadav, serving a 25-year jail term in the 2002 Nitish Katara murder case, to attend to his ailing mother. A bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan also directed him to file a document by May 27 to show his mother had undergone surgery. Imposing conditions, the top court on April 24 directed the convict to remain confined to his house in Ghaziabad and communicate with the case's witnesses, including Katara's mother Neelam Katara. The apex court granted him the relief on a bail bond of Rs 1 lakh and a surety of the like amount. Vikas is the son of Uttar Pradesh politician D P Yadav. His cousin Vishal Yadav was also punished for the kidnapping and murder of business executive Katara. The duo was against Katara's alleged affair with Bharti Yadav, Vikas' sister, for belonging to different castes. Another co-convict Sukhdev Pehalwan was given a 20-year jail term without any remission benefit. The Delhi High Court, while upholding the life imprisonment awarded to Vikas and Vishal Yadav by the trial court, had previously specified a 30-year sentence, without any remission, to both of them. It awarded a 25-year jail term to Pehalwan. The Delhi prisons administration last year rejected Yadav's remission request after his conduct was found to be unsatisfactory.

Red alert announced in Uttar Pradesh, mock drills conducted across state
LUCKNOW: A red alert was issued in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday, with the administration conducting mock drills across the state to prepare for any eventuality. The move follows air strikes carried out under Operation Sindoor, in which Indian defence forces targeted and destroyed terrorist camps and infrastructure at nine locations inside Pakistan. UP DGP Prashant Kumar, while announcing red alert, asked the state police authorities to work in tandem with Army and the India Air Force to ensure security of significant installation in the state. Claiming that state police were in alert mode and ready to provide security to citizens, the DGP said that the security of important religious and other establishments was spruced up in the state. While security was enhanced with the deployment of over 600 police personnel in and around Kashi Vishwanath Corridor in Varanasi, the police authorities increased patrolling and vigilance at Shree Krishna Janmabhoomi in Mathura and around the upcoming Ram temple in Ayodhya. The Babri litigant Iqbal Ansari prayed for Indian Army saying that with the grace of Allah, the Indian forces would answer the evil designs of Pakistan and name it as Hindustan. For the demonic forces like Pakistan, Lord Ram is needed. Pakistan has been responded in such a language that it will never forget, said Ansari. Additionally, security was heightened at key locations including Varanasi Airport, Kanpur Central Railway Station, and the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, with intensive vehicle checks underway. This marks the first red alert issued in the state in decades. It was during 1971 war that the state was kept on red alert. After that, it is the first such occasion when a red alert has been declared, says former UP DGP Sulkhan Singh. As per UP police authorities, red alert is warning system which indicates at emergency situation. People are asked to be alert and follow administrations instructions during a terror threat or war like situation. It is mandatory to follow the Red Alert as it is meant for the security of citizens, says a senior police official. Meanwhile, reacting to the Operation Sindoor, UP CM Yogi Adityanath congratulated the Armed Forces , SP chief Akhilesh Yadav took to X to post in Sanskrit: Parakramo Vijyate (courage wins). On the other, former CM and Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati called Operation Sindoor, a commendable act of pride. However, post-Operation Sindoor, celebrations were reported from different districts across UP. While fireworks were seen in Sambal and Chandausi, people played Holi with colours and distributed sweets in Gonda. In Varanasi, locals , traders and businessmen posed with lemon and chillies to keep the countrys army safe from evil eye and burst firecrackers. At the same time, the mock drill was conducted in various districts, including Varanasi, Chitrakoot, Kanpur, Lakhimpur Kheri, Ghaziabad and Moradabad, of the state on Wednesday. Residents of Varanasi were trained on how to protect themselves during an attack, with sirens sounding to simulate real-time emergency alerts. Civilians were also trained in dousing the fire. Scenes of a stampede were recreated during a mock drill, and people were told how to save themselves in such a situation. They were also imparted training in giving Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) in case of an emergency. In Chitrakoot, scenes of air strikes were recreated and the people were told how to cope with it. In Ghaziabad and Moradabad, people were told to lie down on the ground covering their ears, soon after hearing the sirens. While the Union government had identified 19 districts of UP for mock drill but the state administration decided to conduct it across all the districts.

Civil defence volunteers rehearse emergency response in Lucknow ahead of nationwide mock drill
LUCKNOW: A day before the scheduled mock drill mandated by the Union government, civil defence volunteers conducted a rehearsal at the Lucknow police lines on Tuesday to strengthen emergency preparedness. Meanwhile, UP DGP Prashant Kumar, on Tuesday, said that comprehensive civil defence mock drills would be conducted across all districts on Wednesday in compliance of the instructions received from the Government of India. The exercise, which involved around 200 civil defence volunteers, was aimed at training volunteers in managing large-scale emergencies and responding effectively to potential missile or air attacks. According to Chief Warden, Civil Defence Lucknow, Amarnath Mishra, the participants demonstrated coordinated responses to sirens, evacuation procedures, and protective measures designed to minimise panic and chaos during emergencies. The drill focused on practical techniques to protect civilians during missile strikes and air attacks, along with educating the public on how to safeguard themselves in such situations, Mishra added. The development comes a day after the Union Home Ministry's directives to states to conduct mock drills on May 7 to enhance civil defence preparedness. The Union Home Ministry asked the states to operationalise air raid warning sirens and train civilians to protect themselves in the event of a hostile attack. The states have also been directed to update and rehearse evacuation plans, crash blackout measures, and early camouflaging of vital plants and installations. Interacting with media persons, the UP DGP Prashant Kumar said that the Centre had identified 19 districts-- one placed in Category 1, two in Category 2 and the remaining 16 in Category 3-- for the exercise. Bulandshahr in western UP has been kept in Category 1; Agra, Kanpur, Lucknow, Bakshi Ka Talab, Gorakhpur, Varanasi, Meerut, Prayagraj, Moradabad, Bareilly, Mathura, Ghaziabad, Jhansi, Saharanpur, Sarsawan, and Chandauli are there in Category 2; Baghpat and Muzaffarnagar, both western UP districts, have been kept in Category 3. However, keeping the preparedness in mind and also considering the local sensitivities, the state government has decided to conduct the mock drill across all the state districts, said the DGP. He explained that the exercise would involve coordinated participation from multiple agencies, including the police administration, fire services, and disaster response agencies, to cope with disasters and other critical situations. The mock drill is imperative to ensure better coordination and readiness among all response agencies, said Prashant Kumar. Meanwhile, DG Civil Defence, Abhay Prasad also confirmed the instructions received from the Centre, explaining preparations were already underway to equip civilians with the knowledge and readiness needed in case of any future conflict. He said the mock drill would be conducted between 7 pm to 9 pm on Wednesday. At present, the state Civil Defence department has offices in 15 districts but covers 26 districts through its network. As part of the initiative, an assessment of emergency medical infrastructure, response time, and coordination between various agencies would be assessed in the event of mass casualties and large-scale evacuations. The drill would also foster greater public awareness and resilience in times of national crisis, said a senior state government official.
