CCB unearths racket creating mule accounts for cybercrimes
While probing a cybercrime, the Central Crime Branch (CCB) busted a gang of four for creating mule accounts to help cyber crooks divert the swindled money into these accounts. According to city Police Commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh, the accused allegedly misused Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises' Udyam Portal to open bank accounts in the name of daily wage workers, which were then misused for cybercrimes. With the arrests, the CCB officials have frozen over 357 bank accounts that were being supplied to cybercriminals to be used as mules to allegedly launder the proceeds of cybercrimes. The probe also revealed the suspected involvement of some bank officials in the scam, which is being probed. The accused have been identified as Lakshmeesh N, 33, a loan recovery agent; Prakash H, 43, a private firm employee; Sunil Kumar, 45, an unemployed youth; and Puttaswamy, 54, a car driver. The accused hail from in and around Bengaluru and probe is on to ascertain their links with the cyber crime network. Initial investigations revealed that the accused lured gullible people and used their credentials to open bank accounts . The accused would take the bank details, including the debit cards, and operate them themselves. The accused would also share a small amount of profit with the account holders on a monthly basis in return of the favour, Mr. Singh said. 'For every ₹1 lakh transaction, the account holders received ₹4,000 as commission. We are probing if the bank account holders were also involved. Some of the mule accounts seized are also tied to shell companies,' said Mr. Singh. The CCB also found that there were transactions amounting to crores of rupees from the said bank accounts, and over 100 cases were detected across the country registered with the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP) where these accounts were flagged. Police also suspect the involvement of several others in the racket and efforts are on to track them down to ascertain their involvement. The officials also recovered a laptop, four mobile phones and several bank accounts and cheque books and being analysed for further investigation.

Dalit farmer alleges land grab by SP MLA, matter in Kairana court
Lucknow: A land dispute in Shamli flared into a political storm after Roop Singh, a 52-year-old Dalit farmer from Khanpur village, accused the family of SP MLA Umar Ali Khan of grabbing his govt-allotted land through fraud and coercion. Singh also threatened self-immolation along with his family, prompting concern across political and administrative circles. The controversy stems from a 2003 govt land allotment of three bighas to Singh under a Dalit welfare scheme. The plot, located along the Delhi–Saharanpur highway in Jalalabad, was registered in Khata No. 1213. On June 1, 2018, Singh reportedly sold the land via registered deed to Maulana Ali Khan and Umar Ali Khan, sons of Sarfaraz Ali Khan. Umar is currently the SP MLA from Behat, Saharanpur. However, Singh now claims the sale deed was executed under duress, alleging forged signatures and lack of consent. He filed a civil suit in February 2025 in the Kairana civil court, contesting the legality of the transaction. The next hearing is on July 7, 2025. At a press conference on June 27, Singh alleged the land—now worth Rs 4-5 crore—was forcibly taken over, and he is facing threats and pressure to abandon the case. His dramatic threat to self-immolate drew public attention, especially from Dalit rights groups who view the matter as an example of political and social exploitation. In response, MLA Umar Ali Khan told TOI that a legal registry and full payment via cheque were made in 2018. "The farmer is being instigated by the land mafia. He accepted the money then and is now challenging the deal after seven years," Khan said. He claimed the land was undeveloped in 2018 but has gained value now due to improved connectivity. Shamli SP Ram Sewak Gautam confirmed that the matter is under review and a probe is underway. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Doctor's Day 2025 , messages and quotes!

Finding 'Odour' In Chaos: Here's Why Trump's Victory 45-47 Fragrance Smells Fishy
This perfume is another product in the extensive list Donald Trump has marketed using the presidency's prominence Do you want to smell like Donald Trump? The 45th President of the United States, now also the 47th, has launched his fragrance—Victory 45-47. Beyond branding sneakers, questionable real estate deals, phones, bibles, guitars, and cryptocurrency, Trump now wants you to buy his new perfume. This follows his previous 'Fight, Fight, Fight" collection, released after an assassination attempt in July last year. Clearly, this perfume is another product in the extensive list Trump has marketed using the presidency's prominence. Trump announced on his social network, Truth Social: 'Trump Fragrances are here. They're called 'Victory 45-47' because they're all about Winning, Strength, and Success — for men and women." Both signature fragrances feature an iconic golden statue of the US president. A disclaimer notes, 'Trump Fragrances are not designed, manufactured, distributed, or sold by Donald J Trump," meaning they are produced under a branding license. The vendor, which claims to pay tribute to the Trump legacy, states it is not political and unrelated to any campaign. Trump has not taken an ethics pledge for his time in office, unlike most recent presidents, leading critics to argue he uses the presidency to enrich himself and his family. This has prompted anti-MAGA groups to challenge the Make America Great Again movement, accusing Trump of blatant corruption. From crypto scams to shady real estate deals, Trump phones, and cologne. He's never stopped using the presidency to enrich himself and his ahead, MAGA. Try defending this blatant corruption. — Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) June 30, 2025 Some journalists label it 'grifting", a slang term for petty swindling. A Forbes report states Trump could have made up to 315 million dollars from his cryptocurrency $TRUMP since its launch, despite its value dropping from $27.72 to $8.73 per coin. Trump's financial disclosure revealed he earned over 57 million dollars from his stake in World Liberty Financial last year. Additionally, he made 2.8 million dollars from Trump Watches, 3 million dollars from his Save America coffee table book, and 50 million dollars from his Mar-a-Lago estate and members-only club. These financial endeavours raise concerns about conflicts of interest, especially as Trump's tax and spending bill, criticised as anti-American youth, might adversely affect lower-income households. Healthcare workers and others could suffer if the bill passes, potentially adding 3 trillion dollars to US debt over the next decade. For low-income families in rural America, who largely rely on Medicaid, cuts could impact 40 per cent of children. Federal employment has been decreasing, with budget cuts affecting various sectors, while Trump's bill is seen as favouring billionaires over the poor. This situation prompts the question of what victory Trump's fragrance represents. Is it a Trumpian economy where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer?
