Cyber Crooks Dupe Elderly Widow of Rs24L by Promising Eid Gift A 61-year-old retired woman from Koradi, Nagpur, has fallen victim to an online fraud scheme, losing approximately Rs24 lakh to cybercriminals who exploited her trust through social media. The incident, which has prompted police action, highlights the growing threat of digital scams targeting vulnerable individuals. According to a complaint lodged at the Cyber Police Station, the victim received a friend request from a person named Aryan on social media on May 21. After accepting the request, the fraudsters gradually built a rapport with her through prolonged conversations. They then fabricated a story about sending an Eid gift from the United Kingdom, claiming the parcel was delayed at Mumbai airport. To justify the delay, the perpetrators introduced themselves as a CBI officer named Sunil and others, demanding various taxes, clearance charges, and courier fees. The fraudsters sent multiple QR codes and bank account details via WhatsApp, coercing the victim to transfer funds in instalments. Over a period spanning early August to August 20, the elderly widow reportedly sent a total of Rs24 lakh. Despite the repeated requests for money, no gift ever arrived, leaving her financially devastated. The police have registered a case under Sections 66(a) and 66(d) of the Information Technology Act, along with other relevant provisions, against Aryan, the fake CBI officer Sunil, Vishal, and Rakesh, who is associated with a private courier service. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities seeking to trace the identities of the accused and recover the stolen funds. This case underscores the increasing sophistication of cybercrime tactics, particularly targeting elderly individuals who may be less familiar with digital security measures.#sunil #rakesh #vishal #aryan #mumbai_airport
Mother Prayed In Temple While The Truth Lurked At Home A Shocking Revelation In The Case Of 8-Year-Old Pragya A disturbing incident unfolded in the Agra district of Uttar Pradesh, where the body of an 8-year-old girl, Pragya, was discovered hidden in a flour drum inside a tenant’s room. The tragedy has left the entire community in shock, with the mother’s anguish echoing through the streets. For two days, the family’s home remained silent, with no fire burning in the kitchen, as the mother, Prity, clung to hope, praying for her daughter’s safety in the temple. The incident began when Pragya, a first-grade student, vanished from her home on a Tuesday afternoon. Initially, the family believed she had gone to a nearby tuition center, but by evening, her absence raised alarms. Prity scoured the neighborhood, but no trace of the child was found. The tuition teacher confirmed she had never arrived, prompting the family to report the case to the police. During the investigation, authorities discovered a critical clue. A tenant named Sunil and his mother had been missing since the previous day. Based on suspicion, the police searched Sunil’s room and found Pragya’s body concealed in a flour drum. The revelation sent shockwaves through the locality, with residents gathering on the streets, demanding the arrest of the accused. The police managed to restore order, but the emotional toll on the family remains profound. Prity’s condition is deteriorating. She has not eaten or slept, spending her days in the temple, pleading for her daughter’s return. The police have launched a manhunt for the accused, who is still at large. Preliminary reports suggest the girl may have been suffocated, but the exact cause of death will be determined through a postmortem.#uttar_pradesh #pragya #prity #sunil #agra_district
