Arranged raves for celebrities and gangsters, claims drugs case accused deported from UAE
MUMBAI: An accused in a mephedrone seizure case has told Mumbai Police that he used to organise rave parties in the country and abroad for film and fashion celebrities as well as gangsters, officials have said. Mohammed Salim Mohammed Suhail Shaikh, deported from Dubai last month, is currently in the custody of the Ghatkopar unit of the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC). The officials claimed that during interrogation, Shaikh alleged that he used to organise drug parties in the country and abroad, which were attended by fashion and film celebrities, besides gangster Dawood Ibrahim's nephew Alishah Parkar. Shaikh allegedly used to provide drugs to the participants, the officials told PTI on Thursday. The ANC is investigating who the other participants were, and also if other drug traffickers organised such parties for these celebrities, the officials said and did not rule out the possibility of questioning the celebrities named by Shaikh. Shaikh was known as Lavish in the narcotics trade for his lavish lifestyle and used expensive cars, watches, and clothes. He was initially arrested by the crime branch after his deportation over a Rs 252 crore mephedrone seizure in western Maharashtra's Sangli district in March 2024. According to police, he is part of an international drug syndicate and operated from Dubai. He was deported following a Red Corner Notice.

Belagavi police bust international VoIP scam targeting US citizens
BELAGAVI: In a major breakthrough, Belagavi police on Thursday busted an international online fraud racket that had duped hundreds of US citizens over the past seven months. The well-organised call centre, operating secretly from Kumar Hall, off Bauxite Road in Belagavi city, was running a sophisticated Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) scam to siphon off money from unsuspecting Americans. Police Commissioner Bhushan Borse revealed the operators had collected sensitive information, including bank details and residential addresses of several US citizens. Using advanced software and fake identities, the accused lured victims into sharing financial data before extorting money through intimidation and deceit. Acting on intelligence inputs, a special police team raided the call centre at midnight Wednesday, seized 37 laptops and 37 mobile phones, and arrested 33 individuals on the spot. All the accused hailed from Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, with one suspect reportedly from Nepal. During preliminary interrogation, police found the gang used 11 pre-written scripts to cheat clients, tailoring each to manipulate or threaten them. They would inform a US resident that he had placed an order for an expensive gadget, such as an iPhone. The victim would deny it, and be directed to another number which was actually controlled by the fraudsters. Once connected, the scammers gained access to key personal and banking details, said Commissioner Borse. Some members impersonated officials of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), convincing victims that their phone numbers and email accounts had been hacked or misused elsewhere. The victims, believing the narrative, often revealed sensitive data or made panic payments. The racket employed multiple digital camouflage techniques and Urban VPN to hide their IP addresses, and VoIP technology to make and receive calls that appeared to originate from foreign locations, though operating from Belagavi. The group also used sophisticated software to manage real-time communication, Borse said. Most of the international calls were handled by operators from Gujarat and West Bengal. Two more suspects are expected to be arrested soon. The seized laptops and phones will undergo forensic imaging and analysis to trace the money trail and identify victims, police said. Preliminary findings show the call centre employees were paid Rs 18,000 to Rs 45,000 per month, besides incentives and performance bonuses. Borse said multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) have been invoked and investigations are on to determine the extent of the scam and whether international collaborators were involved.

Dinesh Lad Cricket Foundation: For over three decades, Dinesh Lad, the childhood coach of former captain Rohit Sharma, has devoted his life to nurturing young talent not for fame or fortune, but out of love for the game. Today, however, the veteran coach finds himself struggling to keep his cricket foundation running and is appealing for financial support to sustain his dream of shaping Indias next generation of cricketers. Ive been providing honorary coaching for the last 30 years Ive never taken money from anyone, Lad told IANS. My students have gone on to play for India, represent their state teams and for Mumbai across various age groups. For 30 years, this is all Ive been doing. Two years ago, Lad founded the Dinesh Lad Cricket Foundation, a not-for-profit initiative through which he has adopted 22 children, most of them from rural parts of India. They are all highly talented kids, he said. But unfortunately, Im not getting the kind of financial support thats needed. When I was coaching the Mumbai team, I used to divert whatever money I earned to support them. Lad eventually stepped down from his Mumbai coaching role to focus fully on the children. Theyve come from faraway villages 12 from Maharashtra, one from Delhi, three from Gujarat, and two from Andhra Pradesh, he shared. I even look after their schooling through the foundation. The cricket coaching is completely free I dont take any money for that. Despite the financial strain, Lad refuses to view coaching as a business. I dont claim to make anyone a cricketer, he said. They become cricketers because of their own talent. When people say Lad Sir made us, I feel humbled but its their ability that brought them success. He recalls his early days mentoring a young Rohit, who was then an off-spin bowler. When I saw him bat, I told him to focus more on batting. Even Rohit said, Sir, I was a bowler. I didnt make him a batsman I just saw his potential. Another student who shares a special bond with Lad is Shardul Thakur, who once lived at the coachs home. Shardul stayed with me, and there was another Muslim boy who lived with us for five years, he said. If you see it, what Im doing is social service. Im not doing it for money. If I wanted, I could easily earn 6070 lakh a month but Ive never chosen that path. My passion is not money, its cricket. A Gurus Legacy Lads deepest inspiration comes from his mentor, the legendary Ramakant Achrekar, who coached the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. I play and teach cricket because of my guru, Lad said with pride. After Achrekar sir received the Dronacharya Award, I became the second person from Maharashtra to receive it in 32 years. Becoming a Dronacharya (awardee) like my guru is the biggest achievement of my life. A Grounded Struggle Even with national recognition, Lad continues to face practical challenges. The state government allotted him a cricket ground, but it comes with heavy costs. Its on rent, and I have to bear all expenses water, maintenance, everything, he explained. To manage the costs, I rent it out for private matches, which some people misinterpret as me trying to make money. I have a CSR certificate, and many people promise help, but Im not someone who keeps following up. A Partner in Every Sense Behind Lads unwavering journey stands his wife, whose quiet strength kept the family afloat. I gave 30 years of my life to cricket, but I didnt have enough money when I started, he said. I worked with the railways that was all. My wife supported me through everything. When I brought Shardul home, she didnt object. She said, Its your house why would I have a problem? She took care of him as if he were our own child. I dont know how she managed the household, but I am who I am because of her. Beyond Borders Lads reputation as a coach has reached beyond Indian shores. He has also trained international players, including the son of former South African pacer Makhaya Ntini, who stayed with him for a month, and another young South African cricketer who trained for 25 days. His cricket improved, his technique got better, and he went on to be named Best Junior Cricketer of South Africa, Lad said proudly. Hes even a candidate for the U-19 World Cup captaincy. Beyond Borders Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score Through all his challenges, Dinesh Lad remains steadfast in his mission to give young, talented cricketers the opportunity he once wished he had. If I get financial support, he said, I can do even more for these kids. Who knows the next Rohit Sharma or Shardul Thakur might just be one of them. Article Source: IANS
