2 conmen arrested from Tamil Nadu for duping salt lake sisters in investment fraud
KOLKATA: Two conmen were arrested from Tamil Nadu in connection with an investment fraud where a Salt Lake-based woman was duped of Rs 1.3 crores in February this year. According to the complaint lodged at the cyber crime police station, Sreyoshi Pal (38), a resident of FE Block in Salt Lake, and her elder sister Sayantani Chakraborty were duped by the conmen over a period of days. According to the FIR, the fraud began in October 2024, when Pal came into contact with one "Ali Vikas" via WhatsApp, who introduced her to a platform called Stonewall Capital for trading and wealth management. After initially investing Rs 9.9 lakhs, Pal received small returns that encouraged her to recommend the platform to her sister. Sayantani Chakraborty later transferred around Rs 1.2 crore across 12 transactions. When the fraudster demanded more money, the sisters realised they were cheated. The sisters also submitted their grievances on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal, which led to the registration of the case.

Sham Nagar firing: Murder victim was part of hit squad
Ludhiana: Police probe into the July 20 Sham Nagar firing case, in which Haibowal resident Rohit was shot dead by Jawahar Nagar resident Manav, revealed that the victim and his aides wanted to kill Manav. One of the arrested aides of the deceased confessed that they wanted to shoot Manav to prevent his uncle from testifying against the jailed criminal who murdered his (Manav's) father. Police recovered an illegal pistol along with a magazine and five live cartridges from the arrested accused, Rohan, 22, from Jawahar Nagar. Deputy commissioner of police (DCP- investigation), Harpal Singh, said, "Police have arrested Rohan, who was accompanying Rohit Kumar along with another aide. The three of them went to Sham Nagar to kill Manav. Manav's uncle, Kanwaljit Kumar (father's younger brother), was to testify in court on July 24 against jailed criminal, Darpan. Darpan and his accomplice, gangster Sukhwinder Singh Moni, shot Manav's father, Harjinder Jindi dead in 2020. Kanwaljit was a witness to the murder. Darpan and Moni did not want Kanwaljit to testify. At first, the jailed criminals got assailants to fire at Kanwaljit's house on July 15. On July 20, they sent Rohit, Rohan, and another aide to shoot Manav." According to the DCP, Rohan's interrogation revealed that before they could shoot Manav, he shot Rohit with his licenced pistol. "Rohit, who was killed, was seen with a pistol on CCTV cameras installed at the spot," said the DCP. City police also brought Darpan and Moni on production warrant from Patiala and Ludhiana jail respectively. DCP Harpal Singh said that the jailed criminals are behind both the Jawahar Nagar and Sham Nagar firing incidents. They are said to have approached a common contact, Namit Sharma, who is currently in Europe, to execute their plan. Namit contacted his associate, Aman Sharma, of Jawahar Nagar, who enlisted the assailants on payment. So far, city police have recovered six illegal pistols in both cases, including an imported Zigana P-Model pistol. A police official said that Aman Sharma arranged the weapons and ammunition. Efforts are on to track him and ascertain where the illegal pistols were procured from.
