1 held for duping US nationals, Rs 100 cr asset seized
NEW DELHI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested a key accused in a sophisticated call centre racket that defrauded US nationals of $15 million between November 2022 and April 2024, the agency said on Wednesday. The illegal call centres operated from Noida and Gurugram, and the accused, charged with money-laundering, has been identified as Chandra Prakash Gupta. Scammers used fake Microsoft security pop-ups to trick victims into calling fraudulent support numbers. Using remote access software like TeamViewer, the scammers gained control of victims computers, extracted banking credentials and coerced them to wire-transfer funds under false Federal Reserve protection claims, the ED said. The proceeds were laundered through Hong Kong accounts and cryptocurrencies. ED seized assets worth over `100 crore, including jewellery, vehicles, and luxury watches, with key accused still absconding, the agency said. Gupta had been absconding since July 2024, leading to the issuance of a non-bailable warrant against him. ED initiated investigation on the basis of a CBI FIR. Further investigation led ED to conduct searches on December 19 and 20 at 10 locations across the NCR, linked to the masterminds and associates of the scam.

Court dismisses UP government plea to drop charges in Mohammad Akhlaq lynching case
A court in Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday rejected the State government's plea to withdraw the prosecution case against all the accused involved in the lynching of Mohammad Akhlaq in 2015. Additional District Judge Saurabh Dwivedi dismissed the Public Prosecutor's plea under Section 321 CrPC which sought to drop charges against the 14-surviving accused, Live Law reported. The court also directed the day-to-day hearing of the case and also passed order to ensure the protection of the evidence related to the case, the report said. The Fifty-year-old Mohammad Akhlaq was brutally lynched by his neighbours, including the son of a local BJP leader, in Uttar Pradesh's Dadri. The lynching led to nationwide protests involving slogans, Not in my name, to denounce the spike in Hindutva mob violence against Muslims. The State government filed the withdrawal application - seeking to withdraw the case against all the accused involved in the lynching- in the court on October 15. Meanwhile, Akhlaq's wife moved the Allahabad High Court against the Uttar Pradesh government's decision to withdraw the case against the accused as well as the withdrawal application filed by the Prosecutor in the Gautam Budh Nagar court. On September 18, 2015, a mob gathered outside Akhlaq's home in the Bisada village in Dadri after an announcement from the local temple alleged that he had slaughtered a cow and stored its meat in the fridge. The mob --led by Vishal Rana, son of a local BJP leader, and cousin Shivam-- dragged Akhlaq and his son Danish out of their home and assaulted them until they fell unconscious. While Akhlaq died at a Noida hospital, Danish survived after suffering severe head injuries and undergoing major surgery.

Bulandshahr gang-rape case: All five convicts sentenced to life imprisonment
LUCKNOW: After nearly nine years of legal proceedings, five convicts of the Bulandshahr NH-91 gang rape case were sentenced to life imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 1.81 lakh each by the local court on Monday. Initially, 11 people were named as accused in the case, which pertained to a family that fell victim to brutal atrocities in 2016. Prime accused Salim Bawariya died during the course of the trial in 2019, while two other accused were killed in separate encounters by the STF. Those who were given lifer on Monday include Zubair and Sajid of Kannauj, and Dharamveer, Naresh and Sunil, residents of Farrukhabad. After the case was referred to the CBI, during its investigation, it found three accused to be innocent and dropped their names. The verdict was delivered by Additional District and Sessions Judge (POCSO) Om Prakash III, who termed the ruling significant in a case that had shocked the district. The court also ordered that the total fine amount be equally distributed between the two rape survivors. The horrific incident dates back to July 29, 2016, when a family of five was travelling by car from Noida to Shahjahanpur to attend a wedding function. As they reached near Dostpur village on National Highway-91 under the Bulandshahr Kotwali Dehat area, the attackers threw 'something' on their vehicle. After one of the family members got out of the car to see what had fallen on the car, over six to seven people attacked him, stopping the car by placing an iron rod on the road. The men then forced the family out of the vehicle and took them to nearby fields along with the car. The accused brutally gang-raped the woman and her daughter, while the other family members were kept hostage. The culprits then robbed the family of the ornaments and the cash before fleeing the spot. Speaking after the verdict, Additional District Government Counsel Varun Kaushik said the courts decision sent a strong message that such offenders must be kept away from society. Kaushik added that forensic evidence played a key role in securing the conviction. The most crucial evidence in this case was the DNA of one of the criminals found on the clothes of the gang rape victims mother, Kaushik said.

Five accused convicted in 2016 Bulandshahr gang rape case
Nearly a decade after a horrific crime that shook the nation, the city court at Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh convicted all five accused in the Bulandshahr gang rape case on Saturday. The case had sparked nationwide outrage in 2016.
