Pimpri Chinchwad cyber police arrest five men for involvement in share-trading fraud of 1 crore
1 2 3 Pune: The Pimpri Chinchwad cyber police on Monday arrested five men in connection with a share-trading fraud, in which a software engineer from Moshi lost Rs 1.11 crore between Feb and May this year. A cyber police team led by senior police inspector Ravikiran Nale arrested three of the suspects from Nagpur, and two were taken into custody from the Hadapsar area in Pune. Deputy commissioner of police (crime) of the Pimpri Chinchwad police, Shivaji Pawar, said, "The arrested men used to provide mule bank account holders to their handlers based in foreign countries. They used to withdraw cash from these bank accounts and transfer it to their handlers through cryptocurrency," Pawar said.

He is currently based in a country in the Gulf. The crooks contacted him in Feb and promised him 15% returns on his investments in stocks through their platform. "The victim accepted the offer and started investing money as and when he was told to. He could see the profit he earned on the platform. Within three months, he transferred Rs1.11 crore to the different bank account numbers provided to him," the officer said. He said that the victim realised that he was being duped when his request for withdrawal of his money was denied. Moreover, the crooks were demanding money under the pretext of taxes. He then stopped responding to them and approached the cyber police. "A team of officers, including assistant police inspector Pravin Swami and police sub inspectors Sangar Poman and Prasad Katkade, were deployed to investigate the case," he said. Swami told TOI that during the probe, it was revealed that Rs2 lakh from the total sum were transferred to a private bank's account in Nagpur. Poman reached there and took Sharad Saraf (48) into custody. "During questioning, Saraf revealed the names of three more suspects — Suraj Saykar (28), Yogiraj Jadhav (28) and Sanket Nhavale (24). Saykar and Jadhav were taken into custody from Nagpur, and Nhavale arrested from Pune," he said. Swami said that all these arrested men used to provide mule bank accounts to their handlers through Nagesh Gange (28) of Hadapsar. "We found that transactions worth more than Rs 1 crore were made through these mule bank accounts. They used to withdraw these amounts and convert them to cryptocurrencies. Gange used to transfer these cryptocurrencies to his handlers from other countries," Swami said. He said that later, Gange was also taken into custody from Hadapsar. Gange runs a milk supply business in the area. "The four arrested men other than Gange also currently reside in Hadapsar. They were into software development-related work, mainly doing projects for college students. Due to emergence of AI, they did not find jobs, following which they started earning money by providing mule bank accounts," said the officer.

Fancy a Brunetti cake for your commute? Pasticceria nabs key Metro spot
Other tenants to sign include KFC, Starbucks, IGA, 7-Eleven, Sushi Jiro, and Sushi Sushi. Storage U-turn A large corner block that was sold for $14.3 million by the wealthy and prominent taxi-owning Gange family about 18 months ago is back on the market. Self-storage business StorHub, which snapped up the 24-42 Alexandra Parade warehouse from the Ganges in December 2023, appears to have changed its mind about developing the 2447-square-metre corner site in Clifton Hill. The property is now back on the market through Cushman & Wakefield's George Davies, Raphael Favas, Oliver Hay and Anthony Kirwan in an EoI campaign closing late July, with an asking price around $13 million plus. Loading 'This is one of the most strategic and versatile sites we've seen in the inner north in recent years,' said Davies. The three Gange brothers, Kevin, John and Alfred, were big players in the taxi industry, operating about 160 licences and running the Silver Top and Astoria franchises through the family's Gange Corporation, which offloaded the Alexandra Parade property. Singapore-headquartered StorHub has operations around the globe. It's also expanding rapidly on Australia's east coast developing multiple self-storage sites. In Melbourne, it's constructing on 316 Governor Road in Braeside after already opening four self-storage facilities in NSW, where it has another two on the way, as well as one in Queensland. Its Alexandra Parade property, between Wellington and Smith streets, is close to the old Fitzroy Gasworks, where the state government recently shortlisted developers for the decontaminated site's final housing parcel. The Gasworks will hold about 1200 new inner-city homes when finished. Boutique retail Singaporean investors are on the move in Melbourne's suburbs, too. A Singaporean buyer has forked out $1.85 million to snaffle a shop at 12-18 Claremont Avenue in Malvern in an off-market deal. The island site is nestled in a boutique local retail strip just off Glenferrie Road close to Malvern train station. The 225-square-metre property, leased to Pizza Religion, netted the seller, who had operated a business on the site for 12 years, a yield of 5.73 per cent. Further east in Kew, a building leased to a cafe at 916 Glenferrie Road sold for $1,338,000 on a yield of 4.17 per cent. Town and Country, a garden supply and cafe business, occupies two adjoining properties in Glenferrie Road. Following the offshore investment theme, the portion leased to the cafe at No. 916 sold to another Singaporean investor. 'With offshore interest continuing to rise and strong buyer appetite across the market, current conditions present a compelling opportunity for retail property owners,' Colliers agent Lucas Soccio, who negotiated both deals, said. Little village While on the topic of retail in Melbourne's inner east, it's worth pointing out that a multistory showroom and office at 883-889 High Street in Armadale is for sale. Who knows, maybe it, too, will be in the sights of an overseas buyer? But for now, JLL agents are spruiking it as 'Armadale's final crown jewel' and as a premium development opportunity. It's expected to fetch about $20 million. The buildings belong to lawyer Peter Mitrakas, one of Melbourne's most ardent architecture-focused property investors, and house his office as well as the Graham Geddes Antiques store. The property, on a 1585-square-metre parcel, backs on to 23-27 Osment Street and the Frankston railway line near Armadale station. Mitrakas was the reluctant seller of the old art deco Commonwealth Bank building in Albert Park about five years ago. The two buildings now up for sale are likely to attract developers. A couple of doors down, Nicole Chow's United Asia Group built a seven-storey apartment building with a rooftop pool after swooping on Geddes' original store at 875-881 High Street. Geddes, who then went on to lease Mitrakas' building, may soon be looking for another site for his antiques emporium. JLL's Jesse Radisich said the east end of High Street is evolving rapidly. 'It's a hot little pocket now with all the developments taking place. The big trend with High Street is that the action is moving down past Kooyoong Road. This is like its own little village,' he said. Fuel stop A fuel station in Keysborough that went to a boardroom auction sold for a whopping $2,507,000 above its reserve. The sale revved up when several deep-pocketed petrol station operators entered the fray. 'Twelve offers were received at the close of the first round expressions of interest, with the top six groups invited to participate in a boardroom auction,' agent Rorey James said. The property was on the market after the first bid at $8.5 million. From there, fierce competition from some of Melbourne's largest fuel operators drove the eventual price to $11,070,000, he said, reflecting a strong 4.61 per cent yield. The servo at 745-751 Springvale Road in Keysborough is currently leased to EG Group and a separate car wash operator, with about 16 months left on the lease. James and Kevin Tong from Stonebridge Property Group and Jonathan McCormack and Peter Bremner from Gorman Commercial handled the sale.

Shedeur Sanders retirement being 'forced' by Deion, says Denver reporter
The University of Colorado made an historic announcement on Monday. Before the start of the NFL careers for Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders, they will watch their respective numbers be retired at Folsom Field on Saturday before the annual Black and Gold spring game. While some people cheered after hearing the news that No. 2 and No. 12 wouldn't be used ever again by the Buffaloes, others are questioning the timing and Sanders' overall accomplishments. One of those who was outspoken about the announcement was 9News reporter Scotty Gange. Advertisement As a core member of the media who covers CU sports, Gange called it like he saw it and didn't miss in his assessment. Like many fans and alumni, the timing of this retirement ceremony seems off, especially since there are only four players with their names cemented at Folsom Field. Respectfully, Rashaan Salaam had to wait 23 years with an honor that came posthumously for the Buffs' first Heisman winner. For Hunter and Sanders, there is no wait. They won't take a single NFL snap before taking on the title of CU legend. Hunter earned his spot above the stands by a truly historic year in college football. We'll likely never see a player take home top national honors on offense and defense in this generation, if ever again. But Hunter's 'forced plus one' to the party is definitely Sanders, according to Gange. "I absolutely disagree with this decision," Gange said about CU's dual retirement ceremony. "Hunter, as a Heisman winner, I can understand. Then again, Rashaan Salaam had to wait 23 years for his retirement. But Shedeur seems like a forced plus one here. Quarterbacking your team to a 10-7 record and ending with a blowout loss in the Alamo Bowl does not qualify you for immediate jersey retirement." Advertisement Gange might be onto something here. Shedeur isn't even the greatest No. 2 in program history. That honor goes to College Football Hall-of-Famer Deon Figures, who matched Deion Sanders as a Thorpe Award winner in 1992. In fact, none of the players from Colorado's 1990 National Championship have been retired. Seems like one of the biggest injustices for CU Football over the years by not recognizing those who've built the program. Related: Three takeaways from Deion Sanders' massive contract extension Four numbers have previously been retired in CU's 135-year football history: No. 24 worn by quarterback/halfback Byron 'Whizzer' White in 1936-37 (he also wore No. 8 in 1935); No. 67 worn by guard/linebacker Joe Romig (1959-61); No. 11 worn by quarterback/tailback Bobby Anderson (1967-69); and No. 19 worn by Salaam from 1993-94 (he also wore No. 3 as a freshman in 1992). Related: Colorado Star Shilo Sanders' NIL Earnings Questioned After Declaring Bankruptcy If Sanders was honored in a ceremony ten years from now, that might be an appropriate time for consideration, but not after back-to-back seasons with zero championships. Advertisement "(Colorado) has so much history and so many legends in their 135 years," Gange added. "Perhaps one day would be the right day to retire Shedeur's number. But not today. I feel like the school felt like they had to do it to please the head coach (Deion Sanders) and sell some more tickets to the spring game. At least they're not retiring Shilo's number as well." Colorado's Black and Gold spring game kicks off at Folsom Field at 4 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
