A wad of ‘cash', a plea for help: 3 of family held for duping women of their gold jewellery in Outer Delhi
A crowded market, a bundle of fake notes, and a cry for help- this is how three family members allegedly duped several women of their gold jewellery in the Outer Delhi markets. The trio identified as Laxman, his wife, and their daughter-in-law, was arrested by the Delhi Police on Monday. Upon questioning, the police found out the family duped women using a carefully orchestrated modus operandi of defrauding. The trio, as police terms, were gaddibaz (bundle users) fraudsters. In this type of fraud, a couple of Indian currency notes is placed on top of a bundle of paper, making it look like huge wads of cash, and offered to the customers in exchange of something. According to the police, the case came to light on Monday, when a team of the Special Staff of the Outer District received a tip-off about individuals trying to dupe women in the Ranhola market. 'While patrolling near Sai Baba Mandir, Vikas Nagar, the team received a tip-off about the presence of suspicious individuals who were reportedly cheating people….,' DCP (Outer) Sachin Sharma said. When the police reached the spot, a man and two women were seen interacting with another woman who was a passerby. The man had his hands folded, while the women were dangling a bundle of notes in front of the passerby, the police said. 'Upon noticing the police presence, the trio attempted to flee, but the alert staff acted swiftly and apprehended all of them,' DCP Sharma said. On how the family went about duping women, a police officer said, 'The trio targeted women in markets, who came from low-income localities, and wore modest gold jewellery. They would tell the victims that they have to go to their village as their son is on his deathbed. Then, the trio would show the women currency notes and tell them that they are scared to carry the cash in the train. They would then offer to exchange the currency notes for the jewellery the women are wearing.' When the women would tell the accused that the money offered is more than the value of their jewellery, the family would start sobbing, the officer added. 'They would say their son's life is more important,' the officer added. According to the police, the crying coupled with the prospect of getting huge amounts of money in exchange for the cheap jewellery made them feel less suspicious of the family's intentions. Upon questioning the trio, the police found out that the family had targeted a woman also on July 17. 'The accused admitted to having duped a woman in the jurisdiction of Ranhola. It was found that a case had already been registered in this regard under sections 303(2), 318(4), 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS),' DCP Sharma said. According to police officers, gaddibaz fraudsters are becoming more prominent in the outer district of the Capital. In July alone, over 15 such fraudsters have been arrested. 'It's difficult to control them. They come out of jail easily and keep repeating the offence. They are in touch with each other and help other groups in targeting unsuspecting women,' an officer said.

Addicted to rummy, vice-principal steals Rs 8 lakh from college safe in Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad: The vice-principal of a nursing college in Meghaninagar has been arrested for stealing Rs 8 lakh from the institution's office safe, after police identified her through a small but telling detail in CCTV footage: a birthmark near her right eye. The 42-year-old woman, a resident of Shahibaug, confessed to committing the theft, citing a severe addiction to online rummy that had plunged her into debt. The theft, which had initially puzzled investigators, came to light when CCTV footage revealed a burqa-clad woman discreetly unlocking the office safe and walking away with a bundle of Rs 500 notes totalling Rs 8 lakh. On close examination of the footage, sub-inspector R M Chavda of Meghaninagar police said, "Scouring through the tapes through the night, we noticed a distinct birthmark near the right eye of the burqa-clad woman — a facial feature that matched the vice-principal, whom we had questioned on the day of the theft. " He further added that the accused, confronted with the videographic evidence the next morning, confessed to committing the theft, after which she was arrested. The vice-principal, a resident of Shahibaug, told police she had fallen into heavy debt due to online rummy addiction, and stole the money in a desperate attempt to recover her losses and keep playing. She used a key, kept carelessly in a drawer in the same room as the safe, to gain access to the student fee pool around 6am on July 22.

The gathering included the accused, who by that time had safely squirrelled the money back home to come back to the scene of the crime. The Meghaninangar police has booked the accused under Section 305 (theft) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and are in the process of adding charges under Section 306 for theft by a clerk or servant. The Meghaninagar police recovered Rs 2.36 lakh in cash from her Shahibaug residence and from her person. The remaining Rs 5.64 lakh, police said, had been transferred overnight to her online gaming wallet, which has been frozen pending formal seizure proceedings.

Telangana begins shift to enforce stricter provision for vehicle thefts
Hyderabad: The Shamshabad police started registering vehicle theft cases under Section 305(b) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which carries a jail term of up to seven years' and a fine, instead of Section 303(2), intended for general thefts with a maximum punishment of three years' imprisonment. The move comes in the wake of a TOI report published on May 29, which highlighted inconsistencies in the enforcement of new criminal laws across states. While police in Delhi and several other states were already invoking Section 305(b) of the BNS, specifically designated for vehicle thefts, states like Telangana continued to apply the more lenient Section 303(2) of the BNS. The state CID also took note of the report and referred it to the Joint Working Group on New Criminal Laws to seek legal opinion regarding the applicability of the new section for vehicle thefts. According to NCRB figures, Telangana records over 7,500 vehicle thefts annually, placing it among the top ten states in the country for such crimes. You Can Also Check: Hyderabad AQI | Weather in Hyderabad | Bank Holidays in Hyderabad | Public Holidays in Hyderabad The lack of awareness or differing interpretations had previously prevented Telangana police from invoking Section 305(b), thereby weakening the deterrent intent of the stricter legislation. Following the TOI report, senior officers in the Shamshabad zone addressed the issue and decided to implement the provision within their jurisdiction. The RGI Airport police station was the first to register vehicle theft cases under Section 305(b) of the BNS, recording approximately ten cases in June and July. Earlier this week, Mohammed Shareef Khan (30), a resident of Satamrai, reported the theft of his scooter parked in front of his house. Similarly, on July 19, S Abhilash (31), a physiotherapist, reported the theft of his bike parked at his apartment in Shamshabad. Both incidents were filed under Section 305(b) of the BNS at RGI Airport. "Now, other police stations in the zone have also started invoking the section for vehicle thefts," said RGI Airport Inspector K Balaraju. However, police in other zones of Cyberabad, as well as other commissionerates in the capital, continued to use Section 303(2) of the BNS for such cases. The Telangana CID, responsible for the implementation of New Criminal Laws in the state, acknowledged the TOI report and has referred the matter to the Joint Working Group on NCL implementation for a legal opinion, sources stated.
