Online betting in Telangana: Losses, loans, lives cut short

HYDERABAD: In the quiet hours before dawn, Kaligota Akash cradled his five-month-old son, tears mingling with desperate whispers. Call me daddy, he pleaded, knowing the infants silence was a final, cruel reminder of the life he was leaving behind. Hours later, the 22-year-old succumbed to poison, a victim not just of his despair but of an invisible predator: online betting apps. His story a sole breadwinner drowning in debt and parents shattered by loss presents the grim reality, where digital gamblings allure has turned phones into weapons and dreams into obituaries. A native of Akula Kondur village in Nizamabad district, Akash consumed pesticide on March 26 and succumbed to it on April 1, leaving behind his five-month-old son and elderly adoptive parents. We thought he was watching movies, his father, Kaligota Gangaram, a daily wage labourer, murmured, his voice heavy with the grief of a truth discovered too late. To his generation, a phone was a harmless diversion. But for his son Akash, it became a portal to ruin: betting apps siphoning loans, hope and finally, life. According to his father, Akash had become addicted to online betting and had taken loans to place bets. On the day he consumed poison, he had lost `20,000, Gangaram told TNIE. We never knew there were games on the phone that could kill people. We only learnt the truth after he was hospitalised, he added, breaking down. Gangaram said Akash was their only child, adopted two decades ago. I gave him the best education I could, even put him in an English-medium school. But now, we are left in unimaginable pain, he said. According to the complaint filed with the police, Akash had been betting through apps and dabbling in colour trading for the past three years, losing a significant amount of borrowed money. Though a complaint was filed, Nizamabad police said they did not find betting apps on his phone or any suspicious transactions in his bank account. We are still investigating, a senior officer told TNIE. Recent rise in cases Akashs death is not an isolated case. Despite the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) by the state government on March 30 to crack down on illegal online betting, at least three other similar suicides have been reported recently. In one such case, 25-year-old Rajveer Singh allegedly died by suicide on April 5 after losing money to betting apps. His body was found on the railway tracks between Ammaguda and Sanathnagar. In another case, a 21-year-old BTech student, Bandla Pawan Kumar Reddy, died by suicide after allegedly losing money in online betting apps in Ramanthapur on April 13. Many victims, driven by shame or fear, do not report their experiences to the police, making it difficult to assess the true scale of the crisis. Another user, N Kotesh, told TNIE that he had lost over Rs 20,000 in online cricket and kabaddi betting between 2019 and 2020. I took loans from friends and relatives. We even opened bank accounts in Noida branches because the apps didnt accept Telangana accounts, he said. I lost everything savings, peace, and pride. Now I work as a carpenter to repay my debts. Need for corrective action Recently in the Assembly, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy vowed to take action against those promoting or profiting from online betting apps. Its not just about money its about young lives being lost, he had said. The SIT has held two meetings so far and is reportedly working on a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to tackle such cases. A senior police official told TNIE that most cases have not been officially transferred to the SIT yet. Meanwhile, promotional content for betting apps continues to circulate online, despite police action against several social media influencers and actors. Many are now promoting apps while wearing masks to conceal their identity. Some platforms are still using old promotional videos, including that of influencer Varshini, against whom the Miyapur police had registered a case earlier. A recent video of hers was found being used by a site, called Play Govinda365, on Instagram. Cyberabad and Hyderabad police have registered multiple cases against influencers, but betting app promotions persist. TGSRTC MD VC Sajjanar has been raising awareness on social media, warning youngsters about the risks, but with limited impact so far. Some betting apps reportedly operate under the guise of sports news platforms, such as 1xBat and Parimatch News and possess foreign licences. They get licences in Western countries and operate globally, the senior police official said, adding there is a possibility of hawala transactions and liquid money changing hands unknowingly through these platforms.

Dust storm, gusty winds sweep Delhi; IMD issues red alert

NEW DELHI: Delhi and its surrounding areas were swept by strong, dusty winds for the second consecutive evening on Friday as a fresh round of thunderstorms and light rain brought relief from the ongoing heatwave. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert for the national capital and the NCR region, warning of moderate to severe thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds up to 80 km/h in isolated areas. The alert remained in place till 9 pm. The sudden shift in weather, driven by an active western disturbance, has led to a drop in temperatures and improved air quality. Friday morning began with overcast skies and sporadic drizzle in several parts of the city. IMD data showed Mayur Vihar recorded 5 mm of rain, while Safdarjung reported only a trace. The minimum temperature stood at 22.8 degrees Celsius, slightly above normal. Residents reported seeing trees swaying under strong winds, with some branches snapping and falling in areas like Lodhi Garden and Delhi Gate. A tree reportedly fell on a parked motorcycle, though no serious injuries were reported. Power outages were noted in parts of Noida and Ghaziabad as well. The storm has caused concerns about crop and infrastructure damage. The IMD advised people to remain indoors, avoid sheltering under trees, unplug appliances, and keep away from water bodies during the storm window. The weather office said thunderstorms and light rain would likely continue through Saturday. This comes after the capital experienced a heatwave earlier in the week, with temperatures hitting 40 degrees Celsius on Monday and recording the warmest April night in three years at 25.9 degrees Celsius on Wednesday. The AQI on Friday morning was 172, placing the air quality in the moderate category.

'She had herself invited trouble': Allahabad High Court grants bail to accused in rape case

LUCKNOW: The Allahabad High Court has granted bail to a rape accused, observing that the rape survivor had herself invited trouble and was responsible for the alleged act of rape on her. The accused was arrested in December, 2024, for the alleged rape of the woman pursuing MA from Amity University, Noida campus, and has been in prison since then. The accused had met the young woman at a bar in Hauz Khas, Delhi. The survivor had alleged that the accused, whom she met at a bar, raped her twice at his relative's flat after she had agreed to go to his place to rest, as she, accompanied by both her girl and boy friends, got heavily intoxicated and needed support after consuming alcohol at the bar till 3 am. This court is of the view that even if the allegation of the victim is accepted as true, then it can also be concluded that she herself invited trouble and was also responsible for the same. Similar stand has been taken by the victim in her statement. In her medical examination, her hymen was found torn but doctor did not give any opinion about the sexual assault, Justice Sanjay Kumar Singh observed, while allowing the bail plea of the accused. The court held that as a student of post graduation, the victim was competent enough to understand the morality and significance of her act as disclosed by her in the first information report (FIR). Essentially, as per the victim's version, she, of her own volition, went to a bar in Delhi along with three female friends, where they consumed alcohol, due to which she became intoxicated. The victim further claimed that she remained at the bar until around 3 am and during her time there, the accused kept on insisting that she accompanied him to his house. As she was in need of support due to her condition, she agreed to go with him to rest. SC stays Allahabad HC's order on rape case, says observations depict total insensitiveness, inhuman approach However, she alleged that the accused touched her inappropriately on the way and instead of taking her to his residence in Noida, as she had expected, he took her to a relative's flat in Gurgaon, where he committed rape on her. While the incident allegedly took place on September 21, 2024, the victim got an FIR lodged in this connection on September 23,2024 at police station Sector -126 at Gautam Budh Nagar district. She got the named FIR lodged against the accused. Meanwhile, seeking bail in the case, the accused moved the Allahabad High Court, wherein, his counsel argued that even if all the allegations were taken to be true, it could be a case of consensual relationship between the parties concerned rather than being a case of rape. It was also argued that the accused, with no criminal record, had been in the jail since December 2024 and if granted a bail, he would not misuse the liberty of bail and would cooperate in the early disposal of the case. On the other hand, the additional government advocate for the state opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant in the light of the FIR, but he did not dispute the above mentioned factual aspect of the matter as argued on behalf of the applicant. Against the backdrop of these submissions, Justice Sanjay Singh in its order dated March 11, 2025, granted bail to the accused applicant Nischal Chandak while saying: Considering the facts and circumstances of the case as well as keeping in view the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused and submissions of the counsel for the parties, I am of the view that the applicant has made out a fit case for bail. Hence, the bail application is hereby allowed. Such a ruling has no place in society: Union WCD Minister Annapurna Devi on Allahabad HC order

Craving for chicken landed fake cardiologist N John Camm in MP police's custody

BHOPAL : Craving for mouth-watering chicken delicacies landed fake cardiologist N John Camm aka Narendra Yadav in Madhya Pradesh police's custody, it has emerged. Tracking his cell-phone location, cops from Damoh district reached Prayagraj district of Uttar Pradesh on Monday, when they found Yadav's phone was switched off. Unable to track his location subsequently, the Damoh district police team contacted their cyber cell team back in MP, who while tracking Yadav's call details, zeroed in on one phone number to which multiple calls had been made by the fake cardiologist on Monday. The cops on the ground in Prayagraj found that the concerned phone number pertained to a popular non-vegetarian restaurant. Reaching there, the restaurant staff admitted that the caller (Yadav) had been calling them repeatedly seeking delivery of multiple chicken delicacies at his home, which they refused to make due to staff and distance constraints. Based on the address given by the restaurant staff, the police located Yadav's rented flat in a premier township and nabbed him from there on Monday afternoon. Yadavs ongoing questioning and revelations Currently in police remand in MP's Damoh district, Yadav (being probed over allegations of the deaths of seven patients after minimally invasive surgical procedures) has revealed that he changed his name from Narendra Yadav to N John Camm, owing to a five-year-old ban imposed on him by authorities in India during 2015. He was banned from any kind of medical practice by authorities in 2015, following a case against him in Noida (UP) for forging documents related to medical qualifications and experience. Owing to it only, he changed his name from Narendra Yadav to N John Camm (which resembled the name of famous British clinical cardiologist John Camm) and started working again, a senior Damoh police official told The New Indian Express . Yadav's grilling has also revealed that he doesn't hail from Dehradun (Uttarakhand), but is instead a native of Kanpur (UP) and lived in a rented flat in Prayagraj district. He completed his MBBS from North Bengal Medical College in Siliguri in 1996, but couldn't crack the MD exam, despite repeated attempts. Later, he did his MRCP and other courses from the UK and worked there for some years. He has also worked in Germany and the US and keeps on visiting Nuremberg. Further, he has also worked in hospitals in other parts of India, including Hyderabad, Delhi and Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh) and worked in the Mission Hospital in Damoh between December 2024 and February 2025 on the basis of the fake MD and DM (Cardiology) degrees for which he was booked by the Damoh Kotwali police on Sunday midnight. As far as the seven deaths, which allegedly happened after angiography and angioplasty procedures at the Mission Hospital in Damoh (MP), at least three deaths are directly related to minimally invasive surgical procedures performed by Yadav. A team of cardiologists at the Jabalpur Medical College are in the final stages of their probe into the deaths, sources said. According to the Damoh district police superintendent Shrutkirti Somvanshi, It's still early days into Yadav's grilling and more disclosures are likely in the coming days. We'll request the central government's help in verifying the disclosures of Yadav's visits and working experience of UK, US and Germany, particularly as he has travelled multiple times to Nuremberg in Germany.
