UP STF nabs Noida man impersonating RAW, Army officer
NOIDA: A 37-year-old man has been arrested by the Noida unit of the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) for allegedly posing as an officer of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), Army Major and Colonel, officials said on Wednesday. The accused, Suneet Kumar, was held on Tuesday evening, and multiple fake identity documents, including a forged RAW officer and Army ID carrying his photograph, were recovered from him, they said. Additional Superintendent of Police (STF Noida) Raj Kumar Mishra told PTI that Kumar, originally from Ajoi village in Vaishali district of Bihar, was currently living in Paramount Golf Forest under the Surajpur police station area of Greater Noida. The arrested accused sometimes claims to be an Army officer and sometimes a RAW officer, and his activities are suspicious. Following the interrogation, based on sufficient evidence, the suspect, Suneet Kumar, was arrested around 8.30 pm on Tuesday, leading to the above-mentioned seizure, Mishra said. He said during interrogation, the arrested accused is 37 years old and has completed his post-graduate degree in Clinical Psychology from Kalinga University, Raipur, in 2012. The accused uses various names and positions to influence individuals and coerce them into performing tasks. He also calls various people posing as a RAW officer to obtain his work. Posing as an Army Major, Colonel or a RAW officer, he rents houses in societies by creating forged documents in various names, the police officer said. Accused Kumar has also created companies like Happu Mental Health Service 2, Festum 24 Technologies Private Ltd and Lokally Technologies Private Limited, in which he and his maternal aunt's sister are directors, according to the STF. Mishra said, The primary purpose of these fake accounts was to make transactions in the Happu Mental Health Service company's accounts to increase its valuation. During interrogation, it was also revealed that transactions worth over Rs 3 crore have taken place in Happu Mental Health Service company over the past 10 months. Kumar's primary objective was to increase the company's valuation and get it listed on the stock market as a public company, so that a huge amount of money could be received as investment through IPO, the agency said. Rs 40 lakh in RBL Bank account and Rs 41 lakh in Kotak Mahindra Bank account in the fake name of Amit Kumar have been frozen. Information is being gathered regarding other criminal activities of accused Suneet Kumar, Mishra said.

According to the STF, the seized items include two fake IDs, 20 cheque books of different banks, eight debit and credit cards, five PAN cards, 17 forged rent agreements in various names, two Aadhaar cards, three voter ID cards and several other documents. Further investigation in the case is underway, the officer added.

UP CM Yogi Adityanath highlights sharp drop in crime, inaugurates modern forensic lab
LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reflected on the states law-and-order situation on Tuesday, emphasising that crime in the state had sharply decreased. Criminals are now caught quickly and punished, said CM Yogi, adding that if a robbery or snatching occurred, the offender could be seen limping the next day. The Chief Minister made the remarks while addressing a gathering in Gorakhpur during the inauguration of a modern forensic laboratory. He also reviewed law-and-order work and held a Janata Darbar to hear public grievances. CM Yogi asserted that crime no longer occurred freely in Uttar Pradesh. This is a new Uttar Pradesh that does not tolerate crime and ensures punishment, he said. The modern forensic laboratory, inaugurated by the Chief Minister, was built at a cost of Rs 72.78 crore. Yogi said the FSL lab was part of the governments zero-tolerance policy towards crime. To support his point, he cited improved womens participation in the workforce due to enhanced security. Prior to 2017, only 13 per cent of women in the state were working. The figure has now risen to 35 per cent, as women feel safer going out for work, he claimed. The Chief Minister also highlighted that 2,19,000 police personnel had been recruited over the past eight years. Many states do not have such a large police force. Recently, 60,244 new police recruits joined the service. In 2017, the government had to rely on military and paramilitary training centres due to limited capacity, but the state now has sufficient training facilities of its own, he added. CM Yogi further noted that following a 2016 Supreme Court directive for Safe Cities, Uttar Pradesh now has 17 municipal corporations, with Noida and Greater Noida linked to an Integrated Command and Control Centre. Over 13 lakh CCTV cameras have been installed across these areas to provide round-the-clock surveillance.

Uttar Pradesh govt to withdraw case against Mohammad Akhlaq lynching case accused
LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh government has decided to withdraw the case against Mohammad Akhlaq lynching case accused. The 50-year-old Akhlaq, 50, was lynched by a mob over rumours of alleged cow slaughter and storing its meat at his home in Dadris Bisada village in Greater Noida in 2015. His son, Danish, was thrashed too, but he survived after spending several days in hospital. According to Gautam Buddha Nagar Additional District Government Counsel (ADGC), Bhag Singh Bhati, the withdrawal application, issued by the state government in connection with Mohammad Akhlaq Ahmeds case, was filed before the competent court on October 15. The court is yet to pass order on the application. It has rather fixed December 12 for hearing the matter, said Bhati. Bhati added that it was for the court to decide whether the case would be withdrawn or not. Until then, the trial would continue. So far, the testimony of the first prosecution witness the complainant and the deceaseds daughter, Shaista is underway, Bhati added. He also confirmed that all 15 accused facing trial in the case were currently out on bail. Meanwhile, Defence counsel, BR Sharma, also confirmed that withdrawal application was moved by government counsel in the court. Akhlaq and his son Danish had faced the mobs wrath on September 28, 2015, following an announcement from the village temple that he had slaughtered a cow. Both father and son were dragged out of their house and badly beaten up. Akhlaq, later, died at a Noida hospital, while Danish survived after undergoing major surgery to correct head injury inflicted by mobsters. Police had registered an FIR at Jarcha police station under sections 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder), 147 (rioting), 148 (rioting with deadly weapon), 149 (unlawful assembly), 323 (assault), 504 (intentional insult to disturb peace), of IPC. In 2015, 15 persons including Vishal Rana, son of a local BJP leader, and his cousin Shivam, were charge-sheeted as the main conspirators who led the mob to Akhlaqs house and assaulted the family. The meat recovered from Akhlaqs house was also sent to a forensic laboratory in Mathura for examination and the report had stated that it belonged to a cow or its progeny. Akhlaqs family, however, had alleged that the samples were switched. In 2016, a Surajpur court had ordered a separate FIR to be filed against Akhlaqs family for alleged cow slaughter.

Noida Police arrests bus driver for murder after woman's headless body found in drain
NOIDA: A 34-year-old bus driver has been arrested for the alleged murder of a woman whose headless and limbless body was found in a drain in Noida on November 6, police said on Saturday. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Noida) Yamuna Prasad said the body was found in a drain under the limits of Sector-39 police station, with toe rings being the only identifiable clue. Nine police teams were formed to trace the woman's identity and the suspect. More than 5,000 CCTV cameras were scanned and around 1,100 vehicles were checked. Of these, 44 vehicles were shortlisted and their owners and drivers were questioned, Prasad said. The investigation led the police to a white-and-blue bus seen moving suspiciously near the crime scene on November 5 with its lights switched off. The bus, bearing registration number UP16 KT 0037, was traced to driver Monu Singh alias Monu Solanki, a resident of Barola here, the police said. Further inquiries revealed that the woman, identified as Preeti Yadav, alias Preeti Devi, had been missing for five to six days and was known to be in a prolonged dispute with Singh. She was later confirmed to be the victim, the officer said. Police arrested Singh on Friday and recovered the bus, bloodstained mat, clothes of the deceased and other remains based on his disclosure. During interrogation, Singh allegedly told police that he had been in an illicit relationship with Preeti, who worked in a jeans factory in Barola along with her mother. He claimed she had begun extorting money from him and frequently threatened to implicate him or involve his daughters in illegal activities, the DCP said. Prasad said the accused confessed to picking up Preeti on November 5 after taking a 'gadansa' (sharp-edged tool) from her house without her knowledge. They ate food inside the bus, after which an argument broke out. Singh claimed he attacked her with the weapon, beheaded her and severed her hands to hide her identity, he said. The accused allegedly disposed of the torso in a drain in Noida and dumped other remains and the weapon in a dry drain near Siddharth Vihar in Ghaziabad. Forensic examination of the bus and seized items confirmed the presence of human blood, Prasad said. An FIR has been registered under Sections 103(1) and 238 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and further legal proceedings are underway, the police added.
Retired surgeon loses Rs 1.6 crore in year-long digital arrest scam
BENGALURU: Incredible, but true. A 70-year-old retired surgeon is the latest victim of a digital arrest scam, losing over Rs 1.6 crore in a year. The year-long struggle of Dr. Rajesh (name changed) came to an end after the Noida police in UP arrested one of the accused and learnt about Rajesh through the financial transactions the latter had with the accused. The Noida cops tried to contact the doctor but he did not answer their calls, prompting them to alert the Bengaluru City Police. Even after Bengaluru police tried calling him several times, Rajesh did not respond. Later, the cops visited his house and informed him about the situation, but he denied knowing anything about the digital arrest scam. The cops then contacted his family and convinced the victim to register a complaint. However, he is yet to approach the police, said a senior police officer. The officer added that after the cops approached him, the victim called the fake police, who had digitally arrested him earlier, and asked what he should do. The accused had created extreme fear in the victim. Just imagine what he has been going through for the past year, the officer said. The victim lives in the city with his wife, while his two children live abroad. A preliminary probe revealed that he was arrested whenever the cyber fraudsters required money and extorted him for a year. Yet Rajesh didnt want to share the details and bank records with the police. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime-2) Raja Imam Kasim P told TNIE that the police have asked the victim to file a complaint. However, the victim is yet to come forward and is not sharing details of his loss. Police or any special agency never arrest people online. Police can arrest an accused physically only after issuing a notice and explaining him the grounds of arrest. If anyone receives a call claiming an online/digital arrest, they should not share any personal detail, hang up the video call and contact their local police, Kasim said. Anyone who falls prey to a digital arrest scam should immediately call 1930, which helps the police to freeze the transferred amount. The younger generation must educate their parents and family members about online scams, as senior citizens are increasingly falling victim to such fraud, he added.
