Rs 1.19 Lakh cyber fraud racket busted in Delhi; four posing as Axis Bank officials arrested
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 24 (IANS) The Delhi Police have busted a cyber fraud racket involving impersonation as Axis Bank customer-care officials and arrested four people in connection with a Rs 1.19 lakh fraud case, officials said on Thursday. According to police, the accused posed as bank officials and cheated a credit-card holder on the pretext of cancelling a fictitious annual maintenance charge plan and issuing a new credit card. The fraudsters allegedly used virtual phone numbers, fake service-request details and a third-party payment application to gain the victims confidence. The accused siphoned off Rs 1,19,837 through multiple UPI transactions routed through the CheQ application. Eight mobile phones were also recovered, while technical analysis of one of the devices reportedly linked it to 32 other complaints. The case came to light after complainant Yash Sharma received a call on July 16 from a person allegedly posing as an Axis Bank credit-card official. The caller informed him about an AMC charge of Rs 2,499 and, when Sharma sought its cancellation, told him that he would receive a call from the banks customer-care department. He subsequently received another call from a number allegedly used to impersonate Axis Bank customer care. The caller induced him to download the CheQ application, claiming it was required to cancel the AMC plan and issue a new credit card. The victim was allegedly directed to make three UPI payments of Rs 2,538.81, Rs 58,647.68 and Rs 58,647.68, totalling Rs 1,19,834.17. Police said the accused also provided a fake service-request number and assured the victim that his new card would be activated within four hours and delivered within two days. After the card did not arrive, the victim contacted genuine Axis Bank customer care on July 17 and was informed that no such request existed. He blocked his card and reported the matter through the Cyber Crime Portal. An e-FIR was subsequently registered at PS Cyber North under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. A dedicated team under the supervision of DCP North District Niharika Bhatt conducted technical and financial analysis of call-detail records, mobile numbers, Google account data, UPI transactions and beneficiary bank accounts. The investigation traced the transaction trail to a Kotak Mahindra Bank account linked to Prince Kumar. Police said the account showed suspicious transactions exceeding Rs 12 lakh within five to seven days. Prince Kumar, 20, was arrested from Aligarh on September 15. His interrogation led police to Vishal Tomar, 21, and Vishal Raghav, 27, both from Aligarh. Sanjay Verma, 40, of Uttam Nagar, was subsequently arrested. Police said Verma had previously worked at a call centre in Noida and allegedly learned the modus operandi of impersonating bank officials. Investigators suspect the accused used the Indy Number application to generate virtual numbers resembling bank customer-care numbers and used CheQ to route the allegedly fraudulent funds. Police said the network involved multiple roles, including arranging bank accounts, procuring SIM cards and withdrawing money through ATMs for commissions. The search for two other alleged associates, Bobby and Avtar, is underway. Further investigation is being conducted to trace the complete financial trail, identify additional victims and establish the role of other members of the alleged network.

I express my deepest condolences to the bereaved families. I pray for the swift recovery of those injured in this accident. Vice President Radhakrishnan said, Deeply saddened by the tragic bus fire in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, which has claimed precious lives. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families. Praying for the speedy recovery of those injured in the incident. Earlier in the day, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced financial assistance of Rs 2 lakh each for the families of those who lost their lives in the Greater Noida double-decker bus fire and Rs 50,000 each for the injured. Nine people, including a woman, were charred to death and several were seriously injured after a massive fire broke out in a double-decker bus in Greater Noida, officials said. Earlier in the day, CM Yogi expressed condolences to the families of those who lost their lives. He assured all possible assistance to the next of kin. He also directed officials to ensure proper medical treatment for those injured in the accident and wished for their speedy recovery. Preliminary investigations suggest that the fire originated from a spark or blast in the air conditioning system, which ignited the engine's lubricating oil and caused the fire to spread rapidly. The driver and conductor were taken into custody, and a case was registered under relevant sections, officials said. According to officials, the bus, travelling from Kashmiri Gate, New Delhi, towards Uttar Pradesh's Mahoba, caught fire suddenly near the 33 km milestone on the Yamuna Expressway, within the jurisdiction of the Jewar Police Station, triggering panic among passengers, many of whom jumped out of the windows to save themselves. More than 30 passengers were reportedly travelling on the bus when it suddenly caught fire. Nine passengers, including a woman, were trapped inside and burnt alive in the massive blaze. Upon receiving the information, senior police officials, accompanied by the local police force, a rescue tender, and a fire tender stationed at the Jewar Toll Plaza, responded, according to the officials. Four additional fire tenders and a fire service unit immediately rushed to the scene and completely extinguished the fire. According to the officials, more than 20 passengers were safely evacuated. Despite the heavy smoke, the police team and fire service unit made strenuous efforts to enter the bus; it was discovered that nine individuals had died inside, apparently due to burns or suffocation, rescue personnel said. The incident has once again raised questions over the safety arrangements and precautions followed by buses, particularly those operating on long-distance routes. According to a preliminary report, the bus was carrying a large quantity of luggage, including baggage loaded on its roof. The presence of a substantial amount of luggage has also drawn attention in the wake of the fire. Fires involving buses of this nature have occurred in the past as well, raising concerns over passenger safety and the need for adequate emergency arrangements in such vehicles.

PGTI Tour: Khalin Joshi extends lead to six shots at Bengaluru Open 2026
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 23 (IANS) Khalin Joshi followed his career-low opening round with a four-under 68 to extend his lead to six shots at the halfway stage of the INR 1 crore Bengaluru Open 2026 at the Karnataka Golf Association (KGA) in Bengaluru on Wednesday. The 34-year-old Bengaluru golfer (61-68), who began the day four strokes ahead after firing an 11-under 61 in round one, made five birdies and a solitary bogey to reach 15-under 129 at his home course on a cloudy, cool and windy day. Joshi remained bogey-free until his 16th hole of the day, the par-four seventh, where he dropped his only shot of the round. The three-time PGTI winner this season arrived in Bengaluru after claiming last weeks Nava Raipur Open. He began the week in seventh place in the Race to India Championship. Local teenager Manoj S. (65-70) retained second place at nine-under 135 after returning a two-under 70. The 18-year-olds eventful round featured five birdies, one bogey and a double bogey. Four players shared third place at seven-under 137: Gurugrams Manu Gandas (69-68), Greater Noidas Saptak Talwar (67-70), Delhis Shaurya Bhattacharya (66-71) and Gurugrams Veer Ahlawat (68-69). Gandas was the 2023 DP World PGTI Rankings champion, while Talwar is the current Race to India Championship leader. Ahlawat topped the DP World PGTI Rankings in 2024. Bengalurus Mari Muthu R. (67-71) slipped from a share of fourth overnight to seventh at six-under 138. Joshi was satisfied with another assured performance and his commanding position at the halfway stage. It was another solid day, Joshi said. Im pleased with the way Ive played over the first two rounds and satisfied with where I am. Im now looking forward to the final two days. Joshi began his second round with consecutive birdies and added three more before his only blemish on the seventh. I started strongly with birdies on my first two holes, he said. I would have liked to finish a little better, especially after making my first bogey of the week, but my game still feels good. Gusty winds and more demanding flag positions provided a different examination from the opening round, although Joshi felt the conditions allowed the players to appreciate KGA at its best. We were blessed with excellent weather, although the gusty wind and tougher flag positions made the course interesting, he said. KGA is my home course, and it is wonderful for the entire field to experience such a great venue in these conditions. With a six-shot cushion heading into the last two rounds, Joshi intends to retain the approach that carried him to 15-under through 36 holes. I want to continue finding fairways and greens, create birdie opportunities and keep applying pressure at the top of the leaderboard, added Joshi, who has his Thai girlfriend caddying for him this week. The halfway cut fell at one-over 145, with 52 players from the field of 132 advancing to the final two rounds. The Bengaluru Open is the final tournament before the top-60 on the 2026 PGTI Order of Merit are confirmed. The players finishing inside the top-60 at the end of this event will retain their playing rights for the 2026-27 season.
