CA allegedly ran Rs 750 crore fake loan app scam using shell firms, Chinese links
DEHRADUN: In a significant breakthrough against inter-state cybercrime, Abhishek Agarwal, a Chartered Accountant and the alleged mastermind behind a massive fake loan app scam, was arrested by the cyber wing of Uttarakhand Police on Saturday at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport. Police sources revealed Agarwal was arrested under a Look Out Circular (LOC) issued against him. His arrest has exposed a sprawling network that allegedly siphoned off over Rs 750 crore through illicit transactions. Investigations indicate Agarwal established a sophisticated web of approximately 35 to 40 shell companies to facilitate the fraud. Of these, 13 were registered in his own name, while 28 were in his wife's name. Several entities also listed Chinese nationals as co-directors, highlighting an international dimension to the racket. Suspicious transactions exceeding Rs 750 crore have been identified in accounts linked to these companies, which are now under detailed scrutiny. The syndicate allegedly operated by luring unsuspecting individuals with promises of quick and easy loans through more than 15 fraudulent mobile applications, including 'Insta Loan,' 'Maxi Loan,' 'KK Cash,' 'RupeeGo,' and 'Lendkar.' Once victims installed these apps, the fraudsters gained unauthorised access to their mobile devices, stealing sensitive personal data such as gallery photos, contacts, and other private information.

Watch: Monkey Steals Money From Tourist In Tamil Nadu, Then Does This
Kodaikanal: A monkey stole a bundle of Rs 500 notes from a man near Guna Caves in Kodaikanal, a famous tourist destination in Tamil Nadu, scaled a tree and then threw them from there. The animal snatched the money from a Karnataka tourist, who was reportedly carrying multiple bundles of 500-rupee notes. The monkey unexpectedly appeared, grabbed his backpack, and ran away. Sitting atop the tree, it pulled the notes out of the bag, observed and occasionally dropped one or two of them. A large crowd stood underneath the tree as mere spectators, capturing the monkey's theatrics on their phones. The traveller patiently waited; he and his friends collected the money as and when the animal dropped it. Even though other tourists assisted the group, some notes still fell into the river. This incident took place near the Guna cave area in the Dindigul district. The place gained popularity from the Tamil movie 'Guna' and recently made headlines again with the release of 'Manjummel Boys.' Since being mentioned in the film, the place has witnessed a notable increase in the arrival of tourists. A similar incident took place in early June when a monkey stole diamonds worth Rs 20 lakh from Aligarh-based diamond merchant Abhishek Agarwal's handbag during their visit to the Thakur Banke Bihari temple in Vrindavan. On June 6, after Agarwal and his family offered their prayers and were leaving for home, the animal suddenly snatched the bags containing the valuables from his hands. The terrified businessman tried everything to get the monkey's attention. But after all else failed, he turned to the police for assistance. Fortunately for the Agarwal family, a senior police official reported that after eight hours of work, the cops managed to corner the monkey and retrieve the bag.

Producer Abhishek Agarwal wrote, 'A mishap occurred on the sets of #TheIndiaHouse while shooting today. Everyone on the sets is safe and sound. Thank you for all your concern. #JaiMataDi.' Ram's production house re-tweeted Nikhil and Abhishek's posts. Clips circulating on the internet show the cast and crew screaming as water floods the movie set. Some can be seen trying to escape the rush of water, while others can be seen trying to save the equipment. The sudden flooding, caused by the bursting of a water tank, injured a few crew members. The video shows massive damage done to the set, and shooting has now been disrupted. The Ïndia House is directed by Ram Vamsi Krishna and produced by Ram and Abhishek Agarwal. Talking to Hindustan Times in August last year after his film Karthikeya 2 won Best Telugu Film at the National Film Awards, Nikhil spoke about The India House and said, 'Despite what people think, The India House isn't about Veer Savarkar. It's actually about a bunch of Indian students in 1905 India who…I can't reveal more. (laughs) Let's just say this will also be something to watch out for because I want to continue telling great stories.'
