Con-fidential op: Three pose as CBI officials to pull off heist, nabbed
New Delhi: Three individuals, including a woman, impersonated CBI officials and staged a fake raid at a house in Wazirabad, north Delhi. The trio intimidated the residents, looted gold and silver jewellery, and decamped with Rs 3 lakh in cash before fleeing to Uttarakhand. The accused have been identified as Shaina alias Tannu (22), Keshav Prasad (28), and Vivek Singh (20). Shaina, the alleged mastermind and a distant relative of the victim, reportedly had prior knowledge of the family's assets and recruited the two men to carry out the crime. According to the complaint filed by Israt Jameel, the incident occurred on July 10 around 7.30 pm. Two men and a woman—who were masked—-arrived at his residence dressed in coordinated white shirts and black trousers, identifying themselves as CBI officials from the Okhla branch. Claiming they had an FIR and a search warrant, they demanded entry into the house. When Jameel asked for their documents, the imposters became aggressive and used abusive language. One of them ordered the family to sit quietly while the others began searching the house. They broke open an almirah and stole jewellery belonging to Jameel's wife along with Rs 3 lakh in cash. Asked for a receipt, they scribbled fake names in a notebook before fleeing the scene. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Jameel immediately alerted the police, and a case was registered.

Delhi woman orchestrates robbery at relative's house with 2 friends posing as CBI officers
A woman, allegedly inspired by the Bollywood film Raid, got two friends to pose as Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officers and rob her relative in Delhi's Wazirabad area, said the police. The three accused were arrested Friday. On July 10, at around 7.30 pm. Israt Jameel, a catering business owner, was at home in Gali No. 9, Wazirabad, when he heard a knock on the door. Three masked people, one woman and two men, all clad in sharp white shirts and black pleated pants, were at his door. They introduced themselves as CBI officers of the Okhla division, the police said. Jameel, a MPhil from Delhi University and a former Railways food contractor, was concerned. There was no reason for a central agency to knock on the door of his home in a lower-middle-class locality of North Delhi. He asked the CBI officials the same, trying to check their credentials. 'They said they had an FIR and search warrant against them. When the complainant asked for a copy of the FIR and search warrant, they rebuked and abused him,' DCP (North) Raja Banthia said. One of the three CBI impersonators allegedly introduced himself as Suni Dubey, and moved Jameel, his wife and their three children to a corner. The other two searched the house for 'evidence', before they hopped onto an old steel almirah, said the police. They allegedly broke open the lock and took the jewellery of Jameel's wife, both gold and silver, along with Rs 3 lakh cash. 'Before they (accused) left the house, Jameel asked for the receipt of the jewellery articles and the procedure to retrieve them. The three accused put their signatures on Jameel's daughter's notebook under fake names and wrote that they were taking the proceeds as evidence. Then they escaped,' DCP Banthia said. Jameel, still finding it odd that he had been raided by officers wearing masks, with no identity card or FIR to show for it, called the police. An FIR under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections 307 (theft after preparation made for causing death, hurt or restraint), 318 (cheating), 319 (cheating by personation), and 334 (dishonestly breaking open a receptacle containing property) was registered at the Wazirabad police station. The police then scanned through 200 CCTVs in the area, and found the bike of the accused. The bike, the police said, was registered in the name of a woman named Shaina, 22, a resident of the Karawal Nagar area. The other accused seen on the bike was recognised as Keshav Prashad, 28, a resident of Shanti Nagar in Delhi. Both their houses were raided, but neither of them was found. The police then put their phones on tracking and found that the accused were constantly shifting locations in Uttarakhand. 'The police team followed their location and on Friday evening, the accused Keshav Prasad and Shaina were apprehended from Mussurie, Uttarakhand and at their instance, other accomplice Vivek Singh was apprehended from Haridwar,' DCP Banthia said. The police said Shaina confessed to the crime, saying that Jameel is her distant relative. Based on family hearsay, she learned about the cash he kept in his house and devised the plan. She then allegedly roped in Keshav, a friend who owns a food supplement store in Haridwar. Keshav then called his friend Vivek, 20, a student at the School of Open Learning, University of Delhi, who also joined in, said the police.

Start the week with a film: In ‘Unaad', the tug between heart and head
Aditya Sarpotdar's surprise hit Munjya (2024) is set in the Konkan and is based on that region's folklore. While Sarpotdar has directed other works in Hindi, his previous films suggest that he is more comfortable in his native language, Marathi. Sarpotdar's Unaad (2023) is also set in the Konkan. Unaad is a more deeply rooted film than Munjya, making good use of picturesque locations and fishing community culture to explore the travails of its hot-headed and angsty hero. Unaad was dumped on JioCinema rather than being released in cinemas. The Marathi film continues to be available on JioCinema's new avatar, JioHotstar. The title translates into tramp, rowdy, layabout. It fits Shubham (Ashitosh Gaikwad), a school dropout who whiles away his days and nights rather than working with his fisherman father. Shubham hates the sea, holding it responsible for his father's lengthy absences from his family. The theme of absent fathers unites Shubham and his friends Bandya (Abhishek Bharate) and Jameel (Chinmay Jadhav). Bandya's mother (Devika Daftardar) runs the household. Jameel's father is away in Kuwait, with Jameel expected to follow him there. Shubham's troubles begin when he develops a crush on Swara (Hemal Ingle), who has recently moved to the fishing village. It gets worse when Shubham shoots a video of a couple and it goes viral, leading to scandal and possible police action against Shubham. Written by Saurabh Bhave, Kalyani Pandit and Guru Thakur, Unaad skilfully reveals how the friendship between the three young men teeters after Shubham's misguided actions. Robbed of his support network, Shubham is forced to face his immaturity. The sea serves as both a backdrop and a metaphor for Shubham's coming-of-age experience. While Unaad focuses on Shubham, the film makes room for the journeys of his friends too, particularly Jameel. Shubham is movingly played by Ashitosh Gaikwad, with fine turns too by the rest of the cast. Aditya Sarpotdar's emotionally affecting film packs into 104 minutes a great many details of the ways of the fishing village and their specific concerns. While the movie features the variant of Marathi spoken in these parts, one of the most beautifully staged scenes has no dialogue at all – just an exchange of looks that suggest remorse and a new beginning.
