Delhi Confidential: No child's play
Congress MP from Saharanpur Imran Masood has received a letter from an unexpected quarter: a group of children from Masoodabad colony in his constituency. The letter, signed by 21 children, requested the MP to get a plot, owned by him, cleaned so that they can play on it as they don't have any other 'open space nearby'. It mentioned that amid the overgrown grass on the plot, two snakes were spotted recently, causing fear among them as well as their parents. 'We request you to kindly have the plot cleaned and maintained so that we can play there without any fear,' read the letter. Masood, on his part, said he has promised the children to get the plot cleaned soon. Meet Expectations The courtesy meetings of UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president J P Nadda in the Capital on Saturday happened within days of the two Deputy CMs of the state — Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak — meeting the party's Central leaders in Delhi. While Pathak met Shah on July 17, Maurya met him on July 8. Maurya also met Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and later called on UP Governor Anandiben Patel in Lucknow. These back-to-back meetings with UP government's top three leaders has created a buzz that a decision on the new UP BJP president will be taken soon. Also, a reshuffle of the UP Cabinet may be on the cards to maintain regional and caste balance ahead of the 2027 Assembly polls, said sources. Bureaucratic Churn The Capital's bureaucratic circles are abuzz with discussions about changes on two significant posts — Delhi Police Commissioner and Chief Secretary of the city government — which are scheduled to be vacated following the superannuation of 1988-batch Tamil Nadu-cadre IPS officer Sanjay Arora and 1989-batch AGMUT-cadre IAS officer Dharmendra in the coming months. Arora will retire on July 31, while Dharmendra will demit office in September. These bureaucratic changes are happening at a time when the BJP has its own government in the Capital, drawing more attention to the potential choices of successors of the two officers.

1 2 Kolkata: Following Saturday's seizure of counterfeit currency with a face value of Rs 9 crore from a hotel near the Dhamakhali ferry ghat in Sandeshkhali, North 24 Parganas, police have unearthed an online investment fraud racket. Police said the gang was run by Abhishek Tiwari, who is on the run. On Monday, police arrested Tishan Sen, and a search is on for his aides, Sirajuddin Molla and Debottam Chakraborty. ADG (CID) Vishal Garg said, "Tiwari and Sen were arrested by Kolkata Police in Feb in an investment fraud case. We found that the accused offered huge loans to people without much paperwork or background checks. Once the victims agreed to speak to them, they made video calls and used genuine money at the top and fake currency at the bottom to show that they had the cash ready. The victim was then asked to pay a 1%-2% commission to avail of the loan. This was how they cheated Subhasish Acharya of Burnpur, Asansol, of Rs 22 lakh. Acharya, a builder, was offered a loan of Rs 30 crore and got trapped in this scam." The gang printed the counterfeit currency from a shop in Sealdah. They had told the shop owner that the currency would be used in a movie. You Can Also Check: Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata
