Bangla youth tries to break airport glass wall, detained

Time of India4 days ago
Kolkata: A 25-year-old Bangladeshi national was detained at Kolkata airport on Friday after he tried to exit the airport's international transit area without an Indian visa by attempting to break open a glass wall.
The man was in transit from Singapore to Dhaka with a layover in Kolkata. As per standard procedure, flyers without Indian visas are confined to airport's international transit zone — a secured glass-enclosed space designed to prevent unauthorized entry into Indian territory. Officials said the man tried to break through the glass wall enclosing the transit area to exit the terminal building. CISF personnel intercepted him before he could get out.
He was handed over to cops for further questioning. tnn

Bengaluru Woman Receives Unwanted Gift From Bumble Match, Internet Spooked

Last Updated: A woman shared her friend's experience on Reddit, describing how she matched with a man on Bumble and was taken aback by the unexpected gift she received at home. The convenience of having the world at our fingertips comes with a price. Our growing dependence on digital platforms has opened up new avenues for exploitation and misuse. A disturbing incident in Bengaluru served as a stark reminder of this vulnerability, where a man allegedly exploited a payment app to track a woman's address and sent her an unwanted gift. A woman shared her friend's experience on Reddit, describing how she matched with a man on Bumble, exchanged numbers and was taken aback by the unexpected gift she received at home. She later realised that the man was allegedly an employee of an Indian online payment app. He used the woman's phone number to access her transactional details. Using the longitude and latitude of her Swiggy delivery transactions, he pinpointed her address on Google and sent her a gift. 'Apparently, he works in PhonePe, and used her phone no to find out her transactional details. From the transactional details, he was able to verify the longitude and latitude for the Swiggy deliveries. He put this lat-lon in Google Maps and got her address. She didn't believe that phone pe would provide such sensitive information openly to its employees, so she checked with an acquaintance who also happens to work there. To her surprise, he acknowledged that this is possible," the post read. The post garnered significant attention on Reddit, with several calling for the woman to take action. One user wrote, 'Take a screenshot and warn him that you will mail hr and other seniors in the company. He is gonna backaway." Another added, 'This is extremely frowned down upon in large companies. You could complain to PhonePe with all the evidence and they would probably take serious action against him." 'Creepy indeed, but I wonder how he got the exact flat number from the lat long," wondered a person. Someone else commented, 'This must blow up !! This needs to be on headlines in media. Its seriously very big security risk and also privacy breach." First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Five alleged Bangladeshi nationals living illegally in Delhi detained near Red Fort

NEW DELHI: Five alleged Bangladeshi nationals, who had been living in the national capital illegally, were apprehended near Red Fort, police said on Tuesday. According to the police, they had come to visit the historic monument on Monday and were trying to enter the premises, unaware that it has remained closed to the public since July 15 due to heightened security ahead of Independence Day. The five men - aged between 20-25 years - were intercepted by security personnel deployed near the Red Fort, they said. "They were stopped during routine checking as they did not possess valid entry passes. During questioning, it was found that all five were Bangladeshi nationals who had entered India illegally around three to four months ago," an officer said. They told police that they were working as daily wage labourers in different parts of Delhi, he said. While they were found in possession of Bangladeshi documents, no suspicious items or activities were discovered during the interrogation, the police said. Deportation proceedings have been initiated, they said, adding that further investigation is in progress.
