Uzbek woman's dark trail: Forged Aadhaar, fake marriage; Lucknow's shadow network uncovered
LUCKNOW: A 48-year-old Uzbek woman, Lola Kayumova, accused of involvement in human trafficking and sex work, had reportedly been staying illegally in Lucknow for more than seven years. Although official records list her as married to local resident Janak Pratap Singh, he has denied being her husband. The certificate, issued by a Lucknow court in March 2019, states that Lola and Janak were married on 30 January 2019 at IIMRT Business School, Vipul Khand 6. It lists Janak (38), son of Ayodhya Pratap Singh and Maharaja Devi, as Lola's husband. However, Janak told TOI over the phone, 'I'm not married to Lola, though I know her for long time. The document of marriage certificate is forged.' When TOI visited Janak's residence in Tulsi Vihar Colony, Rajajipuram, the house was found empty. A neighbour, who wished to remain unnamed, said, 'Janak's mother and his brother left to undisclosed location abruptly on Tuesday morning.' Lola's Aadhaar card, issued on 1 August 2021 and updated on 21 April 2025, also lists Janak as her spouse. The address on the card is Orchid B, Omaxe R1, near the UP Police headquarters. She previously lived at Ambrosia D, Omaxe Residency 2. Anoop Kumar Srivastava, owner of the Ambrosia D flat, said, 'Janak had introduced himself as house agent to assist Lola in getting a rented flat. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em São João D'aliança (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo She used to pay Rs 17,500 per month.

Uzbekistan had reportedly issued an Interpol notice against Lola, but the grounds remain unclear pending her arrest. She was last spotted near Mayur Vihar, New Delhi. Officials confirmed she remains at large. Sources revealed that Lola was also connected to Thrijin Raj (alias Arjun Rana), who falsely posed as a journalist. Police have charged Thrijin and Dr Vivek Gupta under various laws including the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Registration of Foreigners Act, the Foreigners Act, and the Immigration and Foreigner Act. Dr Gupta is currently untraceable. According to sources, Lola lured vulnerable Uzbek women to India with false promises of employment. Once they arrived, their travel documents were seized. Thrijin allegedly helped them acquire fake Indian identification, while Dr Gupta reportedly performed cosmetic surgeries to make the women appear Indian. They were then forced into prostitution. Two rescued Uzbek nationals, Holida and Nilofar, told authorities that several foreign women were brought to India through Lola's network, with many undergoing surgeries at Dr Gupta's clinic.

Woman cheated of 16.7L in visa fraud
Ahmedabad: A 25-year-old woman filed a complaint on Saturday at the Infocity police station in Gandhinagar after losing Rs 16.7 lakh to alleged visa fraud involving a consultancy firm. The accused, identified as Janak Patel of Narayan Consultancy, allegedly took Rs 30 lakh from the woman after promising to arrange a Canadian work permit for her. The victim, a resident of Motera, was working at a beauty parlour in Sargasan when she became a target of the fraud. She learned about the consultancy through a friend and was initially quoted Rs 32 lakh for the work permit. After negotiations, the amount was reduced to Rs 30 lakh, and she agreed to pay the sum in two instalments: Rs 18 lakh first, followed by Rs 12 lakh. Despite completing all necessary paperwork and formalities, she did not receive the promised Canadian work permit. When she began asking for updates, Janak failed to respond. Eventually, she filed a police complaint, which resulted in a partial refund of Rs 13.25 lakh. However, Rs 16.75 lakh remained unpaid, leading her to realise she was scammed. Infocity police registered an FIR of cheating and breach of trust against Janak Patel and are currently investigating the matter.

Media reports suggest that he has completed his Class 12 studies from ILVA Higher Secondary School, Indore, where he obtained 91% in his board exams. He scored 453 marks out of 504 in JEE Advanced 2015. Janak was awarded the prestigious KVPY Scholarship by the Department of Science and Technology in January 2014 and later recognized as an NSEP Awardee by the Indian Association of Physics Teachers in January 2015 for his exceptional performance in the National Standard Examination in Physics. He was an INPhO Gold Medalist, awarded by HBCSE Mumbai in January 2015, for his outstanding performance in the Indian National Physics Olympiad (INPhO), one of the highest honors in the national physics Olympiad program.

At 22, Janak made a bold decision that shocked many: he turned down an offer from Andrej Karpathy and the Tesla Autopilot team. Sharing a post on LinkedIn, he wrote,'At 22, I did the unthinkable: I turned down an offer from Andrej Karpathy and Tesla's Autopilot team. Bold move or just plain crazy? You decide. It was June 2020. COVID was at its peak, toilet paper was the new currency, and every company was laying off people faster than ever. Startups were disappearing like free donuts in the break room. I had 2 full-time offers – one from Tesla and another from a not so well known startup, AutoGrid. For anyone in their right mind, this would be an easy decision. But I couldn't imagine myself as another cog in Tesla's high-speed machine. So, naturally, I took my chances on AutoGrid.'
