Over time, their friendship grew and the complainant began lending his neighbour money for business needs. As the complainant prepared for his daughter's move to the US, he took loans totalling Rs 45 lakh from two financial firms and maintained a balance of Rs 84 lakh in his account.
Upon learning of this, the neighbour allegedly convinced him to support him financially in exchange for future profit sharing.
Between 2022 and 2024, the complainant transferred around Rs 1.01 crore to the accused's account.
However, the latter allegedly repaid only Rs 43.93 lakh, leaving an unpaid balance of Rs 57.9 lakh. Additional loans totalling Rs 21 lakh were also allegedly never repaid by him. The economic offence wing of the city crime branch lodged a complaint with the Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) police and began an investigation.

‘Nimisha Priya faces execution in Yemenon July 16'
Kochi: Keralite nurse Nimisha Priya, currently on death row at the central prison in Yemen's capital Sana'a for the murder of a Yemeni national, is scheduled to be executed on July 16, according to human rights activist Samuel Jerome, who holds the power of attorney for Nimisha's mother Prema Kumari. However, there has been no official confirmation of the execution date from the Indian embassy in Yemen, ministry of external affairs (MEA) or Save Nimisha Priya Action Council. Jerome said the execution order was issued by the public prosecutor's office and handed over to prison authorities, who fixed July 16 as the date. Nimisha, a native of Kollengode in Palakkad, was accused of murdering Talal Abdo Mahdi — with whom she had started a health clinic in Sana'a and later reportedly entered into a marriage — in July 2017. She allegedly chopped his body and dumped the body parts in a water tank. Mahdi had reportedly tortured Nimisha and illegally seized her passport, which led to the murder. A trial court sentenced her to death in 2018, a verdict later upheld by an appeals court. Jerome said Nimisha and the MEA had been informed of the execution decision. He added that negotiations with Mahdi's family and tribal leaders over the payment of blood money would be expedited in view of the prison authorities' decision. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo "Hope still remains. Mahdi's family can forgive her even at the last moment. Govt of India can also intervene now for her release...," said Jerome, who added that he will arrive in Yemen on Wednesday to hold further discussions. Subhash Chandran of the Save Nimisha Priya Action Council, however, said they had not received any confirmation of the execution date. "We are in close contact with multiple organisations in Yemen and embassy officials. We have not received any information regarding the execution so far," he said. Negotiations for Nimisha's release suffered a major setback last year when the lawyer appointed by the Indian Embassy demanded a pre-negotiation fee of over Rs 15 lakh. The action council managed to arrange $40,000 through mediators, but the effort fell through midway. Subhash said the council had established contact with Mahdi's family and was working to start negotiation talks, although the family has yet to make a demand for blood money. The prevailing political situation in Yemen is also a major challenge to secure Nimisha's release. While Sana'a is under the control of Houthi militias, the rest of the country is governed by an internationally recognised, Saudi-backed govt and UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC). The Yemeni embassy in Delhi represents the Saudi-backed govt and has no official ties with the Houthis.

2 held for Rs10.7cr GST evasion via fake firms
Lucknow: In a crackdown on tax fraud, Sadar Kotwali police in Rae Bareli on Monday evening arrested two members of an organised money laundering syndicate involved in GST evasion of Rs 10.76 crore through fake firms and bogus invoicing. The accused — Yogesh Garg alias Monu of Ghaziabad and Sanjay Thakur of Lucknow — were nabbed while they were going to meet a lawyer in connection with the case. Both were wanted in connection with a fake GST firm registered as Sarvashri Rajdhani Enterprises in Rae Bareli. Police said that the company was created using forged documents and SIM cards linked to previously surrendered GST accounts. Yogesh admitted that his identification documents were used to register the bogus firm, in return for a share of the fake GST refund proceeds. He told police that he worked under Sanjay Thakur, who in turn claimed to be part of a larger network operated by one Naresh Rana. The gang allegedly generated fake invoices for non-existent goods to falsely claim input tax credits (ITC) at 18% GST. These credits were then passed on to partner firms enabling the fraudulent transfer of Rs 10.76 crore in ITC after showing fictitious transactions of Rs 57.35 crore. A complaint was filed by Ramesh Chandra of Satyanagar, whose Aadhaar and mobile number were misused to set up the bogus entity though he had surrendered his GST account two years ago.
