Family of nine from Myanmar booked for illegally staying in Unnao, procuring Aadhaar
Kanpur: The Unnao police on Friday lodged an FIR against Myanmar national Mohd Sahil and his eight family members for staying illegally in India and violating the provisions of the Immigration and Foreigners Act.
As per the complaint, lodged by Balu Ghat outpost in-charge Gajendra Singh, Sahil, his siblings Anwar, Habibullah, and Hashmat, father Mohd Yahya, mother Rahima Begum, sister Shenuara Begum, brother-in-law Junaid, wife Ajida, and daughter-in-law Noor Qaida have been residing in Unnao's Shuklaganj area for eight years since leaving Myanmar, without valid documentation.
They have also been booked for allegedly procuring Aadhaar card, with help from a local corporator, who later denied issuing any certificate endorsing their nationality.
The investigating team have now requested details from the Aadhaar-issuing authority regarding certification.
"We have contacted the Lucknow Centre. If we get to know about any link of others in it, they will be included in the investigation," said Kotwali inspector-in-charge Pramod Kumar Mishra.
In view of the allegation, the local police have been asked to keep an eye on the family.
The Unnao police, which visited the family on Thursday, questioned the family and documented their statements.

"While no valid documents were found during the search in their house, analysis of phone records showed Mohd Sahil and his brothers primarily contacting individuals from Shuklaganj and Unnao," said DCP East Satyajit Gupta.
While the Rohingya family has expressed intentions to relocate to Bangladesh, citing relatives there and safety concerns for Muslims in Myanmar, police said they may be arrested soon.

NYC Pride March: 2 people shot near Stonewall Inn in Manhattan; ‘devastating incident,' says mayor
AP file photo Two people were shot near the landmark Stonewall Inn, located in Greenwich Village, on Sunday after the NYC pride parade, according to the NYT news service. One victim, who was shot in the head, is in a critical condition, while the second victim, who was shot in the leg, is in a more stable condition, according to a spokesperson for the Police Department. Police have not yet identified the perpetrator and are unsure of whether the shooting is related to the Pride march. The shooting occurred just as Pride celebrations were wrapping up, shortly after the New York City Pride March in Manhattan earlier on Sunday, mayor Eric Adams said on social media. 'During a time when our city should be rejoicing and celebrating members of our diverse LGBTQ+ community, incidents like this are devastating.' Adams posted on X. — NYCMayor (@NYCMayor) Adams, along with Zohran Mamdani, the likely Democratic nominee for mayor, had attended the pride parade earlier that day. The Stonewall Inn, considered a national monument, is a bar on Christopher Street and was supposed to host an event for Pride month from noon to 4 am on that day. Representatives for the bar did not immediately comment on the mishap. Douglas Breland, 47, a bouncer at Barrow Street Alehouse near the Stonewall Inn, texted his mother at 9:48 pm about the quiet night, even sharing a photo of the empty bar. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Moments later, he stepped outside to film the nearly deserted block. Around thirty minutes later, he had heard four loud cracks, which he initially thought were fireworks, but then heard screams of people running down the block and sirens blaring. He then sent his mother another text saying, "2 people were just shot on the corner 1/2 a block from me.' Hours later, Breland sat in a bar booth, still processing the night's events. Outside, the streets were mostly deserted, except for a few late-night revelers. The police were clearing people away from the scene. The Pride March, attended by millions every year, commemorates the Stonewall riots of 1969, which were born out of a police raid on a gay bar in Manhattan.

Gurgaon police arrest Gujarat woman linked to Cambodia-based cyber fraud syndicate
The Gurgaon police Sunday arrested a 24-year-old resident of Surat in Gujarat at the Delhi airport for her alleged involvement in a cyber fraud racket operating from a call centre in Cambodia. Khushboo was arrested in connection with a 'digital arrest' case, where fraudsters posed as police, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and Customs officers to extort money by threatening victims with fake charges of illegal activities. A Gurgaon police spokesperson said the woman will be produced in a court Monday for police remand. Two mobile phones used in the cyber fraud were recovered from her possession, the spokesperson added. The case stems from a complaint lodged on December 4, 2024, at the Cyber Crime (East) Police Station in Gurgaon. The complainant reported that her son received a call claiming his Aadhaar card was linked to hawala transactions. When he denied the allegations, the fraudsters, posing as police officers, threatened to register a First Information Report (FIR). A fake CBI officer then contacted the victim via video call, claiming he was under 'digital arrest', and coerced him into transferring money under the pretext of resolving the fabricated hawala case. The police registered a case under the relevant sections based on the complaint. The investigation, led by Priyanshu Diwan, Assistant Commissioner of Police (Cyber Crime), and Inspector Amit Sharma, revealed that Khushboo was part of a Cambodia-based call centre, Mango Park, in Phnom Penh, involved in 'digital arrest' cases. The syndicate operated in three stages — the victims were intimidated with claims of their mobile numbers or Aadhaar cards being misused, fraudsters then posed as police officers to enforce a 'digital arrest', and impersonated Customs or Income Tax Department officials to extort money through bank transfers. The police investigations also showed Khushboo intimidated victims, and was paid a monthly salary of $700 for her role. The call centre, reportedly run by individuals of Chinese origin, employed people from India and other countries to execute these frauds. Similar call centres operate across Phnom Penh and other parts of Cambodia, the police said. The probe uncovered that Rs 39 lakh collected through the fraud was transferred to a bank account belonging to a man called Surendra, who sold the account to another accused, Mitesh, for Rs 5 lakh. Acting on instructions from his brother Bhargav in Dubai, Mitesh sold the account to Khushboo. She had travelled to Dubai in November 2023 for a job through a friend's husband, and later moved to Cambodia in August 2024 to work at the Mango Park call centre. So far, 16 people, including Khushboo, have been arrested in connection with the case, the Gurgaon police said, and further investigation is ongoing.

National-level boxer alleges sexual harassment by woman coach; FIR filed
Representational Photo A minor female boxer has filed a sexual harassment complaint against a woman coach at the Sports Authority of India's National Boxing Academy in Rohtak. The victim's parents have reported that their daughter has fallen into depression due to continuous mental and physical abuse. The Boxing Federation of India and Sports Authority of India have confirmed receiving a complaint about intimidation and slapping incidents from the 17-year-old victim. However, they deny being informed about sexual harassment as mentioned in the FIR. The internal investigations by both organizations found no evidence against the coach. The coach continues to lead the national camp for junior and youth boxers. The victim's FIR, filed at a Rohtak police station, states that the coach attempted to forcibly remove her clothes, slapped her multiple times, threatened her career, and labeled her as a "person of bad character" in front of other boxers. The police have registered the complaint under Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita's section 115 and 351(3), along with Protection of Children from Sexual Abuse act's section 10. SAI has expressed willingness to assist with the investigations when required. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Doutor: Reverter encolhimento muscular após os 50 depende deste hábito noturno Revista do Homem Saiba Mais Undo "...we have not received copy of any such FIR as of now. A complaint was however lodged by a female Boxer of NBA Rohtak through email, on 24/4/25 in which she alleged Mental and Physical harassment by a female coach during an invitational boxing tournament held in Ireland from 25th March 2025 to 3rd April 2025. No allegation of sexual harassment was levelled in that complaint," a SAI Regional Centre (Sonepat) spokesperson told PTI. "A detailed inquiry was conducted in which statements of the complainant, the coach concerned, the fellow coaches and staff members and fellow athletes were taken and the allegations made could not be established." Poll How serious do you think the issue of harassment in sports is? Very serious. Somewhat serious. Not serious. "SAI is committed to ensuring clean sports and will extend any cooperation required during investigation based on the FIR, at any point of time." The victim's parents have expressed dissatisfaction with the BFI's handling of the situation. According to the FIR, the coach allegedly humiliated and molested the boxer during the Ireland tour. "This coach had tried to touch her inappropriately in the past too but my child could not understand her actions at that time," the FIR states. The parents reported that their daughter was punished with intense physical exercise for failing to record a training video as requested by the coach. "She apologised to the coach for not recording the video as well as the coach desired and requested her to do the seconding for her in the fight. But the coach did not go with her for the fight and did not allow any other coach to accompany her either. She even stopped my daughter's fellow boxers from helping or supporting her during the bout. We have CCTV footage to prove that my daughter was alone in the ring." The parents of the boxer, who has won two national-level gold medals, have alleged molestation by the coach. "The coach accused my daughter of talking excessively to boys. She called other boxers, insulted her in front of them and asked her to bring her phone. When my daughter headed to her room to do as instructed, she followed her inside and tried to touch her inappropriately after locking the room from inside. She tried to forcibly take off my daughter's clothes and when she resisted and pushed her, the coach repeatedly slapped her. She then dragged her to the training hall and asked my daughter to give in writing that she had two phones and was using one of them to talk to boys," they alleged. The parents stated their daughter was slapped for refusing to follow instructions. SAI's investigation found no support for these claims from other boxers present during the tour. "She threatened my daughter of consequences if she dared complained against her behaviour. She called her mentally unstable as well. The coach not only took my daughter's phone but also forced her to share its password after slapping her. She also took away her personal diary. My daughter is in depression and in a state of shock." The parents learned about their daughter's situation from one of her camp mates. They rushed to Rohtak, where she revealed her experiences to them.
