Pune matrimonial fraud widens as five more women from Delhi, Mumbai approach police
1 2 3 Pune: Cyber crime investigators in the city said they've now been approached by five more women who said they've been cheated by an Australia-based Indian man who was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly duping a Pune techie of Rs 3.6 crore in a case of matrimonial fraud. "The five women are mostly from Mumbai and Delhi. We have requested them to formally record statements at the police station," said senior inspector of Pune cyber police Swapnali Shinde, leading the investigation into Abhishek Shukla (42), who investigators said may have contacted over 3,000 women through fake profiles on a matrimonial website. He is an OCI (Overseas Citizenship of India) card holder. Shukla had flown from Singapore to Mumbai when he was arrested at Mumbai airport on June 25, by immigration authorities acting on a lookout circular (LOC) issued by Pune police. Shukla is the main suspect in a complaint that was lodged last November by the Pune techie (40) who claimed a man named 'Dr Rohit Oberoi' had proposed to her online and later cheated her of Rs 3.6 crore, by promising to invest her money in a Singapore-based start-up. The complainant is originally from Delhi.

We have sought details of all these profiles from the matrimonial company," inspector Shinde said. The police officer said Shukla worked as a researcher with an Australian university and even has a PhD in business administration. "He also holds a patent for an online system that screens movies. He used this system to screen Hindi movies in the UAE and other countries and run a successful company," Shinde said. She added: "He looked very smart in his photo, with the wig. Our original complainant, the Pune woman, also did not realise he was bald," Shinde said, adding that the victim was promised high returns on her investment by Shukla. "He convinced her that he could help scale up her business to a global level. He even arranged for 'investors' identified as 'Ivon Handayani' and 'Vincent Kuan', who were apparently from Singapore. This was a set up. We have evidence to show 'Handayani' and 'Kuan' don't exist and that these were digital identities being operated by Shukla," Shinde said.

West Indies Coach Daren Sammy Fined By ICC for Criticising Match Officials Of First Test vs Australia
WI vs AUS: West Indies head coach Daren Sammy has been fined 15 per cent of his match fee for a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct during the second day of the first Test that the visitors clinched by 159 runs, courtesy Josh Hazlewood's stunning 5-43 in Bridgetown, according to the ICC website. The sanction relates to comments made by Sammy during a media interaction at the end of Day 2, where he criticised one of the match officials in reference to multiple incidents throughout the day's play. The 41-year-old was found to have violated Article 2.7 of the Code, which pertains to "public criticism of, or inappropriate comment in relation to an incident occurring in an International Match or any Player, Player Support Personnel, Match Official or team participating in any International Match." As a result, one demerit point has also been added to Sammy's disciplinary record, his first offence in a 24-month period. Sammy admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Javagal Srinath of the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, after the charge was levelled by on-field umpires Richard Kettleborough and Nitin Menon, third umpire Adrian Holdstock, and fourth umpire Gregory Brathwaite. Level 1 offences carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand and a maximum of a 50% match fee fine, along with one or two demerit points. The visiting Australian side thumped West Indies by 159 runs after the home side lost all ten wickets in the final session on Day three, while chasing the 301-run target in a game that was filled with twists and turns. The second Test begins on Thursday, 3rd July at the National Cricket Stadium in St George's.
