The arrests were made by ED's Kolkata zonal branch in connection with the money laundering probe against the Sahara group and its linked entities. Both the accused are currently in the ED's remand. They were produced before the court on Saturday, following which the central agency was given their custody till Monday. In an official statement, the ED said, 'Anil V Abraham played a key role in coordinating and facilitating the sale of Sahara Group properties, many of which involved substantial unaccounted cash components that were siphoned off while J. P. Verma was involved in executing these property transactions and assisted in routing large cash proceeds generated from these sale transactions,' and added that the duo tried to hide the proceeds of crime. The investigating agency also claims to have found various incriminating evidence during its search operations, conducted under the PMLA and said that it was being deliberately disposed of to evade accountability. 'It was found from the various digital evidence that these 2 persons, viz., Anil V Abraham and JP Verma, had played a key role in the disposal of such properties and assisting the promoters of the Sahara group in siphoning off the funds. The promoters were found to be involved in such malpractices while remaining outside India,' it further said. The ED investigation into alleged money laundering began on the basis of three FIRs registered under Sections 420 and 120B of the IPC, 1860, against M/s Humara India Credit Cooperative Society Ltd.

Assam woman defamed with AI-generated porn after fake link to adult film industry goes viral; engineer arrested
DIBRUGARH: A person has been arrested in Assam's Tinsukia district for allegedly morphing photographs and creating AI-generated pornographic videos of a woman and circulating those on social media, a senior police officer said on Sunday. Dibrugarh Senior Superintendent of Police (in-charge) Sizal Agarwal said a complaint was received from the victim on Saturday stating that morphed images and videos were being used to defame her. The victim had been in the spotlight for the last few weeks after her purported image with an adult film actor surfaced, with claims that the Assam woman has joined the adult film industry in the US. "We received a complaint yesterday that the morphed and AI-generated photos and videos of the victim were being circulated on social media. The reference of an Instagram page was included with it, and when we searched for credentials of the page owner, we found a phone number which we traced to the accused," Agarwal said. "The accused had used the image of the victim to generate several obscene content and pornographic materials using AI software. They have a past acquaintance, and he did it due to personal reasons," he added. The accused, a mechanical engineer by qualification, was arrested from Tinsukia on Saturday night, the SSP (in-charge) said. Agarwal said the crime, which initially started as a harassment tactic, continued when the accused began monetising the content. "There was a subscription link to the adult content that he had posted, and people had to pay to access it. He earned about Rs 10 lakh through it. He kept on continuing the crime as he got greedy, though he had initiated it for harassing the woman," she said. The officer said multiple agencies will be involved in the investigation as digital evidence has to be examined, with the police seizing laptop, mobile phones, hard disk and other items from the accused. Agarwal also urged people to be careful while accessing online content and, have a closer look before circulating any information they receive on social media.
