Gurgaon RWAs step up to avert exodus of workers as cops ramp up checks
Gurgaon: Amid growing anxiety among domestic workers, housekeeping staff and car cleaners after police have launched intensive verification drives to track illegal immigrants, several RWAs in the city have taken proactive steps to alleviate their fears. Police enforcement measures, according to RWAs, have inadvertently caused panic among the city's informal workforce, particularly those living in unauthorised colonies or slum settlements. As a result, many workers have either stopped coming to work or informed their employers of plans to leave the city, with some even returning to their hometowns out of fear of police detention or deportation threats. In the wake of this, RWAs have initiated outreach efforts to reassure their staff and maintain the continuity of daily services at housing societies. Pooja Anand, RWA president of Tulip Violet in Sector 69, said the association is committed to rebuild trust among domestic staff and other support workers. "We've been encouraging people to come to work and told them there's no need to worry. Most of them have been with us for years and have valid documents," she said. Anand also said RWA plans to communicate with the administration and police, advocating for a transparent and sensitive approach to the drive. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Shop Sale Libas Undo You Can Also Check: Gurgaon AQI | Weather in Gurgaon | Bank Holidays in Gurgaon | Public Holidays in Gurgaon "This exercise is meant to identify illegal immigrants, but Indians should not be harassed. Many are feeling spooked and are running away. Of 45 staff members at the condo, only 15 came to work. This has disrupted basic services," she added. Similarly, Sunil Sharma,RWA president of Palm Gardens in Sector 83, has advised residents against making impulsive decisions. "We've told staff not to panic and to cooperate with police. If they have valid documents, there's no reason to worry," he said, adding that despite police assurances that the drive targets only undocumented immigrants, the lack of clear communication and the spread of unverified audio messages on social media have fuelled confusion and fear among workers. Jaswant Rao, RWA president of Astaire Gardens in Sector 70A, said the situation has caused confusion and unnecessary hysteria among support staff and residents alike. "People are clueless about what exactly is happening. The administration should involve RWAs in the process to prevent this kind of crisis. Elderly residents need daily support, and many families are struggling," he said. Rao further said most of the housekeeping and security staff in their society have already undergone police verification, yet many remain anxious about whether their verification is still valid or if they will be questioned again. "Clear communication is missing," he added.

‘Free iPhone' in Instagram gift box turns costly for Hyderabad resident
A 38-year-old man from Asif Nagar was duped of ₹1.05 lakh in an online gift scam after being lured by a fraudulent Instagram account posing as a mobile store. The incident played out on July 15, when the victim came across a page named 'Zam Zam Mobilez'. The scammers, posing as representatives of the page, claimed that he had won a luxury gift box containing an iPhone, an Ultra watch, and earbuds. They then shared a malicious link, instructing him to confirm 'Parcel No. 65' along with his name during a WhatsApp call. Over the course of the interaction, the fraudsters demanded multiple payments under various false pretences, including courier charges, GST, customs clearance, packaging, and gift fees. Unaware of the deception, the victim made several payments, amounting to a total loss of ₹1.05 lakh. The scam came to light when he was asked to transfer an additional ₹15,000 the next day. Suspecting foul play, he sought advice from a friend and realised he had been conned. A case was booked by the cybercrime wing of the Hyderabad Police, and an investigation is underway to trace the criminals behind the fake Instagram page.

Vizag police track Odisha man over bid to sell kidney
Visakhapatnam: Vizag city police have formed a special team to probe the involvement of Odisha-based person Anand, suspected to be a doctor, in the alleged organ trade attempt in Vizag city. Although the illegal kidney transplantation did not occur, the police dispatched a team to Odisha to establish the doctor's actions. The incident surfaced following a conversation on June 30 between two individuals, Rangababu and Ch Yeshu Raju, both friends and natives of Eluru, at a hotel under fourth-town police station jurisdiction in Vizag city. The alleged kidney sale discussed has brought to light the suspected organ trade activity and the purported involvement of Anand from Odisha. According to police, K Rangababu and Ch Yeshu Raju arrived in Vizag city and lodged in a hotel room that an Odisha native had booked. Rangababu told his friend Yeshu Raju about his intention to sell his kidney to address financial difficulties. Acting on details provided by the hotel staff, police questioned both individuals. Further enquiries revealed that Anand had reserved a room in the same Vizag city hotel in Jan 2025, citing that three individuals from Odisha would be staying for three days. These guests occupied the room from Jan 28 to 30 and left at midnight on Jan 30 without notifying hotel staff and Anand failed to pay the room charges. The hotel staff attempted to contact Anand but their attempts proved futile. Anand again booked a room in the same hotel on May 16 for one person, however no one occupied. Vizag city police chief Shanka Brata Bagchi said a team is on the job to determine whether Anand is a fake doctor or a genuine medical practitioner. The team will interrogate Anand to expose the alleged links between Anand and other persons. A case under Section 318 of BNS (cheating) was booked.
