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.

B'deshi armed group under scanner of Mizoram Police
1 2 3 4 Aizawl: Senior police officials in Mizoram are reportedly taking a serious view of the alleged illegal activities of the Parbottya Chattagram Jana Samhati Samiti (PCJSS), a Bangladeshi armed group led by Jyotirindra Bodhipriyo Larma alias Santu Larma, in both Mizoram and Tripura. A senior police official said appropriate action will be taken against the Bangladesh-based Chakma outfit if its cadres are found venturing into Mizoram and indulging in illegal activities, as they have reportedly done in the past. Hundreds of people, both tribals and non-tribals, on Wednesday protested at Nutan Bazaar in South Tripura, submitting a memorandum to their CM Manik Saha, demanding expulsion of members of the Bangladeshi armed group from India. According to the memorandum, the PCJSS (Santu faction) has been accused of spoiling the lives of youths in the northeast through drug trafficking, using India as a shelter after committing murders in Bangladesh, and also carrying out anti-India activities from Bangladesh. This includes the alleged formation of the Tripura United National Front (TUNF) and sheltering them in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHTs) of Bangladesh. In India, members of the PCJSS (Santu) group are allegedly involved in trafficking of arms, drugs (including Yaba tablets), Burmese cigarettes and cows, which protestors claim is "destroying the youths of Tripura and Mizoram." The memorandum detailed recent seizures linked to the outfit's activities. Last year on Dec 30, Tripura Police reportedly seized 2,720 Burmese cigarette packets worth Rs 9 lakh from Raishyabari in Dhalai district. Recently, on June 19, the Assam Rifles reportedly seized drugs worth Rs 10 crore from Lunglei town in Mizoram. Furthermore, on Feb 12, Mizoram Police reportedly confiscated a significant cache of weapons. On June 4, Tripura Police arrested 13 cadres of the group and subsequently deported them to Bangladesh. The protestors alleged that the PCJSS (Santu) has evolved into a "transnational trafficking gang."
