Video: 80-Year-Old With Paralysis Locked Inside Car, Family Visits Taj Mahal
The old man, identified as Hariom Tandale, was gasping for fresh air, nauseous, and the family was unaware of his condition. The car was parked under the sun with no attendant around. The 80-year-old needed urgent medical help, and people came to the rescue.
They had to break the window to open the gates. It was heart-wrenching. The man was found tied to the seat with a cloth, and the seat was reclined. Mr Tandale has mobility issues and was parched. People offered him water and untied him.
Because of his immobility, people had to pull him out of the car and rescue him.
Speaking to PTI, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Sonam Kumar said, "Siddheshwar Tandale, a resident of Mumbai, had come to visit the Taj Mahal with his family. His elderly father, Hariom Tandale, was taken out of the car after breaking the window."
The family had perhaps left Hariom Tandale behind while they went for sightseeing, the police said. An ambulance was called, but "after being removed from the car, the elderly man's condition improved", Kumar added.
"Currently, Siddheshwar Tandale has left with his elderly father," the DCP said.
The police said that no complaint has been lodged in the matter.

Statewide cyber awareness conferences to be held in Andhra
Amaravati, Jul 24 (PTI) Andhra Pradesh Technology Services chairman M Mohana Krishna on Thursday said the agency will hold statewide cyber security awareness conferences to protect people from the rising number of cyber crimes in the state. He said the agency monitors Information Technology infrastructure round the clock and issues early alerts to curb cyber threats. 'To protect the public from cybercriminals, APTS will conduct cyber security awareness conferences," said Krishna, addressing a press conference here without specifying a date. The awareness sessions will focus on fraud tactics, preventive measures, and complaint procedures, with an emphasis on the need for 'technical interventions in light of the global surge in cybercrimes," he added. Krishna claimed that APTS had conducted 'Hackathon 2025', training selected graduates and IT professionals in cyber security for six months, with a monthly stipend of Rs 10,000 provided during the period. He said Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Education Minister Nara Lokesh have ordered strict action against cyber fraud. He also recalled the Centre's cyber law from 2013 and Andhra Pradesh's Cyber Security Policy introduced in 2017. Under this policy, APTS serves as the nodal agency, working with the Andhra Pradesh Cyber Security Operational Centre (APCSOC), which was launched in 2018. APTS aims to build a secure digital future for the state, Krishna added.

2 held for posing as bank officials, cheating Delhi man of over Rs 10 lakh
New Delhi, Jul 24 (PTI) Two men have been arrested for allegedly duping a Delhi resident of Rs 10.64 lakh by posing as bank officials, police said on Thursday. Shankar Dan (27) and Pradeep Kumar Dan (26) used a payment gateway app to randomly enter mobile numbers and identify the names of the banks associated with the numbers, they said. Shankar would then call unsuspecting individuals, impersonate as bank representatives, and send them malware-laced files. The accused claimed to procure SIM cards from Jamtara and used locally acquired credit cards for the fraud, they said. 'On June 30, they called the complainant posing as bank officials and told him that two cheques issued from his account had bounced and requested him to verify the cheque images. A link containing a malicious file was then sent to the complainant on WhatsApp," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Amit Goel said. The victim downloaded and installed the file but didn't find any cheque image as claimed by the fraudsters. Sensing something suspicious, he deleted the link and switched off his phone, he said. However, on restarting the device, he received multiple SMS alerts regarding password changes and unauthorised financial activity, the officer added. An investigation revealed that two fixed deposits of Rs 5.62 lakh and Rs 4.54 lakh had been prematurely closed, and an additional Rs 48,600 had been debited. The total loss amounted to Rs 10.64 lakh, the police said. 'Subsequent probe found that the OTPs generated during the fraudulent transactions were diverted to an unknown mobile number, allowing the accused to gain unauthorised access to the complainant's account," the DCP said. The cheated amount was first transferred to an online payment gateway, and then used to pay credit card dues and make purchases. 'The funds were further withdrawn using mobile payment apps or used to buy gift cards," the DCP said. Based on technical surveillance, the accused were tracked to Dhanbad and police conducted raids across Jharkhand, eventually nabbing Shankar Dan from his native village. Four mobile phones were recovered from his possession, including the calling device, he said. Acting on his disclosure, police arrested co-accused Pradeep Kumar Dan in West Bengal's Birbhum. Two mobile phones, including the one used to access the mobile application during the fraud, were seized from him. The police said that the defrauded amount was routed through a layered payment structure to avoid detection. Shankar, a school dropout who ran a mobile phone shop in his village, is previously involved in two cybercrime cases and a murder case, the police said, adding that he lived a lavish lifestyle funded by the proceeds of fraud. Pradeep, who studied up to class 8, operated a payment gateway app to transfer the money from hacked bank accounts to credit cards. He is also reportedly involved in a murder case. A case under relevant sections of the BNS has been registered. Further investigation is underway to trace other members of the syndicate and identify additional victims.
