Fingerprint evidence helps crack Jobner burglary case
The burglary took place on the night of Jan 24 at a house in Ganesh Vihar Colony, Hingonia, Doongri. The complainant approached Jobner police the next day, reporting that the house had been broken into and valuables stolen. The stolen items included a gold chain, a pair of earrings, a topaz stone, a mangalsutra, silver anklets and bangles, Rs 35,000 in cash, clothes, an LED TV, an ATM card, and a gas cylinder. Police launched an investigation combining local intelligence, technical surveillance, and forensic analysis.
Fingerprints lifted from the scene were sent to the Fingerprint Bureau, which matched them to Roshan Meena, a resident of Goria in Sikar district, currently lodged in Bikaner District Jail.
"Fingerprint evidence remains a crucial tool in criminal investigations, especially when there's no CCTV footage or mobile tower data," said an investigating officer. "In this case, the precision of the break-in indicated the involvement of experienced criminals," he added.
Meena was brought to Jobner on a production warrant. During interrogation, he confessed to the crime and named his associate, Hazarilal Meena of Nayabas in Neem Ka Thana, who is currently in Neem Ka Thana Jail. Police said efforts are underway to recover the stolen items and identify any other members of the gang. tnn

Rs 284-Crore Illegal Betting Scam: What Raid On Probo App Reveals
Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday said it launched a major crackdown on illegal online betting platform 'Probo,' conducting search operations on July 8 and 9 across its four locations in Haryana. The searches were carried out under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), in Gurgaon and Jind, targeting Probo Media Technologies Pvt. Ltd. - the company behind the online platform "Probo" - and its promoters Sachin Subhaschandra Gupta and Ashish Garg. The investigation revealed that Probo has received funding worth Rs 134.84 crores through equity from foreign entities based out of Mauritius, the Cayman Islands, and other offshore locations. Several incriminating documents and digital records were seized by the ED, while investments worth Rs 284.5 crore - in fixed deposits and shares - were frozen, along with three bank lockers belonging to the accused parties. The ED took action after multiple First Information Reports (FIR) were registered in Gurugram, Palwal (Haryana), and Agra, accusing Probo of luring users with false promises of earning money through 'yes or no' questions. According to the FIRs, what appeared to be a legitimate skill-based game was, in reality, "a form of betting promoting addictive gambling practices disguised as "opinion trading" on topics like election results." According to the FIRs, Probo lacked safeguards to prevent minors from using the app and skipped Know Your Customer (KYC) verification. It also carried misleading advertisements to lure new users and promoted betting disguised as "opinion trading." The ED's also investigation revealed the games on Probo operated entirely on chance, involving binary "yes/no" questions with only two outcomes - a format identical to gambling. The ED has confirmed that further investigation is underway.

Madras High Court Raps Bureaucrat In Contempt Case, Imposes Rs 1 Lakh Fine
Chennai: The Madras High Court has come down heavily on the Greater Chennai Corporation Commissioner, questioning whether he considers himself "above the court" simply because he is an IAS officer. The court has ordered the Commissioner to appear in person tomorrow, explaining his conduct. The strong observations came during a contempt of court hearing filed by advocate and former councillor Rukmangathan. He had approached the court, seeking action against illegal constructions in Zone 5 of the Chennai Corporation, particularly in Royapuram. The court had earlier directed the Corporation to take action not only in Zone 5 but across other zones as well, in an order dated December 2021. However, the petitioner alleged that the Corporation failed to act on the court's directive, prompting him to file a contempt petition against the Commissioner. Hearing the matter, a bench of Chief Justice S.V. Gangapurwala and Justice Sundar Mohan questioned why the earlier order had not been implemented. The bench imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the Commissioner, which would be deducted from his salary and donated to the Adyar Cancer Institute. When the matter came up again, Additional Advocate General J. Ravindran sought to suspend the fine, admitting there had been a lapse on the part of the legal team. The Chief Justice, however, was unsparing in his criticism. He remarked that even if the legal counsel had filed incorrect affidavits, the Commissioner was duty-bound to verify them before signing. Failure to do so, he said, made him unfit to hold the post. The court asked why the Commissioner failed to appear for the contempt proceedings earlier and directed him to be present tomorrow with a proper affidavit. The decision on the penalty will be made later.
