Told to pay water connection bills, man loses Rs 1.3L to fraudsters posing as MCG officers
Gurgaon: A 72-year-old city resident lost Rs 1.3 lakh to cyber fraudsters who posed as MCG officials and asked him to pay his pending water bill. When the victim, a resident of Palam Vihar, told them that he had already paid the bills through his credit card, the fraudsters forced him to pay again through the same card if he wanted his water connection to continue. The victim was asked to pay Rs 10 initially, following which Rs 1.3 lakh got deducted from his credit card. In his complaint at cybercrime west police station, the victim, Dr Birender Kumar Jawa, said that on June 27, he received a call from the number 91-8653043084. The caller claimed to be an MCG official and said the victim's water bill hadn't been cleared.

But he insisted that if I didn't pay again that day, my water supply would be disconnected. He asked me to make a Rs10 payment using the same card. I tried, but the transaction failed," said Dr Jawa. Despite not sharing any OTP, two transactions—of Rs1 lakh and Rs30,000—were made from his account. After realising the fraud, the victim contacted the cybercrime helpline. His complaint was forwarded to the cybercrime west police station, where a case was registered under sections 318(4) (cheating) and 319 (cheating by personation) of BNS. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Indonesia (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo A police officer said teams are working to trace the suspects using both technical and human intelligence. "It's surprising how even well-educated people are falling victim to these scams. The caller tricked the victim into thinking it was about KYC verification, even though he had already paid his bill," a police official said. In June, MCG had issued an advisory warning residents against such frauds. Scammers were reportedly using phone number 91-9022138476 to send fake WhatsApp messages and calls, pressuring people to pay their water bills. MCG clarified that it does not collect payments via calls or messages and urged residents to use only official channels. "We've been alerting residents and have also lodged complaints with cyber police for FIRs," said a senior MCG officer.

Malegaon blast case: UAPA sanctions invalid, terror charge can't stick, rules court
MUMBAI: Special trial judge A K Lahoti, in a key finding that led to the collapse of the Malegaon blast case , held that the prior sanction under the anti-terror law UAPA against the accused was "invalid." It was issued without judicious application of mind, and the mandatory twin test safeguard required by law was not scrupulously followed, the court said. The judge analysed Section 45 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), which outlines procedural safeguards. Section 45(1) requires valid sanction from the Centre or state govt to prosecute any terror offence under the Act. Section 45(2) mandates an independent review of the evidence by an authority appointed by the govt. Lt Col Prasad Purohit, through his counsel Shrikant Shivade (who passed away in 2022) and later advocate Viral Babar, had consistently argued that the UAPA sanction was flawed. Other accused also challenged the validity of the Jan 2009 sanction and another issued in 2011 by the additional chief secretary (home). The trial court held both sanctions to be "defective." While the prosecution claimed it had followed the twin test, the court said there was no evidence it was done as mandated under Section 45(2). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Stylish New Mobility Scooters Available for Seniors (Prices May Surprise You) Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Search Now Undo "The sanction is not a curable defect. So, all the provisions of UAPA will not be invoked," the judge ruled. Advocates Ranjeet Sangle (for Sudhakar Dwivedi) and J P Mishra (for Sadhvi Pragya Singh) also argued that the first sanction bypassed the statutory safeguard under Section 45(2), and that the absence of such review invalidated the trial court's cognisance of UAPA charges. Special public prosecutor Avinash Rasal had contended that the sanction's validity could only be decided during the trial, a view echoed by the Supreme Court in 2018. However, the special judge reviewed the sanctioning procedure and found that UAPA charges could not be sustained due to the faulty sanction. Shivade had also pointed out that the authority did not comply with the mandatory safeguard of an additional review committee required under law since Dec 31, 2008. The prosecution argued that since the crime occurred in Sept 2008, the earlier 2004 provision-without the second review-was applicable. But the Supreme Court clarified in 2023 that the UAPA's procedural safeguards during sanction are mandatory.
