Crime Branch files chargesheet against West Pakistani refugee family in PRC fraud case in Jammu
Jammu, Nov 3: The Economic Offences Wing of the Crime Branch, Jammu on Tuesday filed a chargesheet in a 13-year-old case related to the alleged fraudulent procurement of Permanent Resident Certificates (PRCs) by a West Pakistani refugee family, an official said. The family of Lakhan Singh, originally from Sialkot, allegedly obtained the certificates after shifting from Punjab to Jammu by fabricating census records and lineage details in connivance with revenue officials, a spokesman of the Crime Branch said. The chargesheet was filed in the court of Additional Sessions Judge, Anti-Corruption, Jammu, under various sections of Ranbir Penal Code and the Prevention of Corruption Act, he said. The case, registered in 2013, originated from a complaint alleging that Singh fraudulently obtained PRCs for himself and his family after shifting from Punjab to Jammu by fabricating census records and lineage details in connivance with revenue officials. Investigation revealed that the allegedly forged certificates were used by his two sons -- Prem Singh and Prabhakar Singh -- to secure government employment in the Estates Department and to contest and serve twice as a sarpanch respectively, the spokesperson said. He said that although the main accused, a retired employee of the Power Development Department, and the then Tehsildar, Jammu, Sat Paul Gupta, have since died, the investigation established the alleged criminal involvement of the surviving accused, Prem Singh and Prabhakar Singh. Accordingly, the chargesheet has been submitted against all four accused for judicial proceedings, he added.

Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 3 (IANS) The remark by Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on crime and law and order in the state has triggered a political controversy after he appeared to confuse the Hindi word 'apradh' (crime) with its English equivalent while addressing an event in New Delhi. Speaking at the event, which was also attended by the Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari, CM Choudhary said, The very concept of 'apradh' (crime) has ceased to exist here. There might be 'crime', but there is no 'apradh'and no criminals (Apradhi). The statement has since gone viral on social media, with users trolling the Chief Minister over his choice of words. Bihar's Leader of the Opposition (LoP) and Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav launched a sharp attack on Samrat Choudhary, sharing a video of his remarks on social media. In a post on social media platform X, Tejashwi Yadav said, In Bihar, there can be 'crime', but no 'apradh'! Addressing fellow countrymen, the Bihar LoP alleged that the person making such claims was facing allegations in seven murder cases and had been handpicked by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the post of Chief Minister. He also questioned whether the IAS and IPS officers seated on the stage alongside CM Choudhary felt honoured or humiliated to work with him. Taking a swipe at the Prime Minister, Tejashwi Yadav asked whether PM Modi had taken a 'supari' (contract) to ensure Bihar's destruction at the hands of Samrat Choudhary. Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) spokesperson Ejaz Ahmed also criticised the Chief Minister, saying that 'apradh' was simply the Hindi word for 'crime' and that Choudhary should have consulted officials before making such a statement if he was unsure about its meaning. Ahmed alleged that the remark reflected a lack of basic understanding among those occupying positions of power in Bihar. He also accused the state government of shielding criminal elements in the past and claimed that those who once provided protection to criminals were now themselves involved in criminal activities. Referring to Tuesday's incident at Babu Barhi in Madhubani, where a police officer allegedly opened fire on civilians, Ahmed termed it an example of state-sponsored violence and accused the state government of directly engaging in acts that amounted to crime. Meanwhile, the controversy over Samrat Choudhary's remarks has continued to gain traction on social media, where users have been sharing the video and making sarcastic comments about his statement. The controversy unfolded against the backdrop of a major infrastructure initiative announced in the presence of Samrat Choudhary and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari. An agreement titled 'Nadi Sanjeevani' (River Rejuvenation) was signed in New Delhi between the Bihar government and the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Under the initiative, scientifically extracted silt from Bihar's rivers will be utilised in the construction of national highways. In the first phase, around 24.3 million cubic metres of silt will be used in 16 road projects. A further proposal envisages utilising around 83.5 million cubic metres of silt for 27 future projects. The initiative is expected to reduce road construction costs, improve the water-carrying capacity of rivers and help mitigate flood risks in the state. The Chief Minister said that systematic management and utilisation of river silt could play an important role in addressing Bihar's recurring flood problem.

In a bid to evade surveillance and law enforcement scrutiny, the accused avoided conventional CCTV setups and instead installed Wi-Fi-enabled smart face-detection doorbells to monitor movements outside their premises discreetly, investigators noted. Preliminary investigations also suspect that the sophisticated SIM Box devices were smuggled into India disguised within sound amplifier components. Police ha...

Two dangers are increasingly testing families and communities: cybercrime, which exploits trust and technology, and drug addiction, which can erode health, dignity and hope. They may appear to belong to separate worldsthe screen and the streetbut both thrive where awareness is weak, support arrives late, and accountability is absent. Cyber fraud has become harder to recognise. A convincing call, message or link can trick people into sharing passwords, bank details or one-time codes. Older people, students and first-time digital users may be especially exposed, but no one is immune. The response cannot stop at warning people to be careful. Banks, telecom companies and digital platforms must make reporting simpler, act swiftly on suspicious accounts and help victims limit losses. Police cyber units need adequate staff, training and public-facing guidance so complaints are not lost in confusion or delay. Prevention begins at home and in schools. People should be taught not to share verification codes, to check a sender before clicking, and to report fraud promptly. But awareness campaigns must be practical and regularnot a poster seen once and forgotten. Victims also need reassurance. Shame and fear of blame can keep them silent, allowing offenders to target others. Drug addiction demands the same seriousness, but a different kind of response. It is not merely a law-and-order problem; it is a public-health and social challenge. Enforcement against those who traffic in drugs is essential, yet people struggling with addiction need timely treatment, counselling and a path back into education, work and community life. Treating every affected person as a criminal can drive the problem underground and make recovery harder. Families should be able to seek help without stigma. Schools, colleges, health centres and community organisations can identify warning signs early and direct people to qualified support. Treatment services must be accessible, confidential and sustained; a single intervention cannot substitute for follow-up care. At the same time, authorities must pursue those who profit from addiction, focusing on supply networks rather than simply displaying arrests as evidence of progress. Both crises expose the cost of delayed action. Cybercrime requires stronger safeguards and faster reporting; addiction requires prevention, treatment and firm action against traffickers. Neither can be managed by one department alone. Government agencies, educators, health professionals, families, technology providers and civil society must share responsibilityand measure success by whether people are safer and help is easier to reach. Kashmirs response must be compassionate without being complacent. Protecting people online and helping them recover from addiction are not separate tasks; they are part of the same duty to safeguard lives, livelihoods and the future.
The invisible hazard of home radon
Radon gas is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive noble gas that serves as the leading environmental cause of cancer deaths and the second-leading cause of lung cancer worldwide after cigarette smoking. It can accumulate undetected in residential spaces, posing a severe and preventable threat to public health. A new observational cohort study published in Neuroepidemiology (2026) that followed close to 160,000 postmenopausal women from the Womens Health Initiative for an average of close to 18 years has identified a new association of home radon with brain cancer. Though the research about this association is in its infancy, there are other known harms of home radon.

Chinese scam networks shift operations from Cambodia to Madagascar amid crackdown: Report
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 1 (IANS) Online scam networks allegedly run by Chinese nationals have shifted operations from Cambodia to Madagascar following law enforcement crackdowns in Southeast Asia, with authorities uncovering links between the criminal groups and cases involving suspected human trafficking, according to reports. An AFP report, titled Chinese Scam Networks Shift From Cambodia to Madagascar as Authorities Crack Down, published on Sunday, said authorities in Madagascar had dismantled 13 scam compounds during operations conducted in August and September in coordination with the US Department of Justice (DOJ). The operations targeted centres involved in romance scams, cryptocurrency fraud and investment scams, most of which were allegedly operated by Chinese nationals. Madagascars Justice Ministry said 148 Chinese nationals had been extradited to China in connection with the crackdown. According to a statement cited in the report, US authorities seized approximately $52 million in cryptocurrency in a single day and processed more than 3,200 electronic devices as part of the investigation. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime had previously warned about the expansion of such criminal networks, particularly into Southern Africa, the report said. Investigators found that some African nationals recruited to work in Madagascar may themselves have been victims of human trafficking. Authorities said around 20 nationals from Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zimbabwe were in custody in connection with the investigation. Hassan Mouigni, head of the police crime unit, told AFP that the individuals had allegedly been recruited through Facebook with promises of employment in the commercial sector. But when they arrived here, most of the passports were confiscated by the boss, and they were forced to scam, Mouigni said, adding that the recruits had been deceived. The report also highlighted a separate incident in August in which 11 Chinese nationals arrested during the crackdown reportedly walked free from a Madagascan prison. The episode triggered a widely publicised scandal, with allegations implicating the head of the country's prison service. Meanwhile, several African nationals remained in custody despite preliminary findings suggesting that they may have been trafficking victims, officials said. The US Department of Justice reportedly identified a Malaysian national, Chui Kok Wa, as the alleged operator of a romance scam scheme based in a villa in Ivato, an upscale neighbourhood near Madagascar's capital, Antananarivo. Mouigni told AFP that an examination of Chui's passport indicated that he had arrived in Madagascar for the first time in 2024 and had previously travelled to Cambodia. The DOJ reportedly assessed that Chui's criminal group, with connections to Malaysia and China, established scam compounds in Madagascar in early 2025, likely relocating operations from Cambodia following law enforcement action there. Tsitohaina Ralihivao, coordinator of the cybercrime unit at Madagascar's communications ministry, also linked the relocation to a 2025 crackdown on scam compounds in Cambodia near the Thai border. When the Thais dismantled them, they just relocated the operations. The same organisations came to Madagascar, Ralihivao told AFP. An FBI court document cited by the DOJ reportedly supported this assessment. Three Brazilian nationals questioned by investigators said they had initially responded to online job advertisements and ended up working at a scam compound in Cambodia before being moved to Antananarivo in early May 2026. The document attributed the relocation partly to the armed conflict between Cambodia and Thailand and partly to police action against scam compounds in Cambodia. Cyber scam centres are increasingly opening in Africa following the closure of such compounds in Southeast Asia, the FBI said, according to the report. Madagascan authorities said the networks required recruits from English-speaking African countries because their operations primarily targeted English-speaking markets. Mouigni told AFP that the centres targeted countries including the United States, Canada, and Pakistan, prompting the need to recruit workers with English-language skills. Authorities also observed changes in how the compounds operated. Mouigni said the networks initially occupied relatively discreet villas but later began renting entire hotels, drawing greater attention from local residents and investigators. One suspected compound operating from the Live Hotel in Antananarivo was allegedly headed by a Chinese national who was among those extradited to Beijing. A US federal law enforcement officer said in court documents that Chinese nationals identified as leaders of the operations could not be questioned by the FBI after their extradition, according to the AFP report. The investigation highlights the reported geographical expansion of transnational cybercrime networks and the challenges authorities face in distinguishing between alleged perpetrators and individuals recruited through deception and possible human trafficking.
