Delhi man loses Rs 10.80 lakh after ‘SBI KYC update call'; police trace scam to Jharkhand
A sophisticated phishing and identity theft racket originating from Jharkhand was busted following the arrests of three men who allegedly duped a Delhi resident of Rs 10.80 lakh under the guise of a fake KYC update linked to an SBI credit card, the Delhi Police said on Tuesday. The police identified the accused as Mujaffar Jilani, Aftab Ansari, and Mohammad Iqbal Raza. According to the police, the case came to light after K C Barthwal, a 49-year-old resident of Palam, lodged a complaint at the South West cyber police station. Barthwal said in his complaint that he received a call on April 5 from someone claiming to be from SBI's Mumbai headquarters. The caller allegedly claimed that Rs 588.82 had been debited from Barthwal's credit card and offered to help block the card unless KYC details were updated through a provided link. According to Barthwal, believing the caller was legitimate, he followed the instructions and unwittingly divulged his card details. Over the next few days, further calls extracted sensitive banking credentials, leading to a series of unauthorised transactions totalling Rs 10.80 lakh from April 10 to April 12, as per the complaint. The police decided to focus on 'known cybercrime hubs' in Jamtara in Jharkhand, Amit Goel, Deputy Commissioner of Police, South West, said. 'On examining the victim, it was revealed that the accused sent a fake link resembling SBI's official website to collect the victim's sensitive card information, including card number, CVV, expiry date, and OTP. With these details, the gang gained unauthorised access to the victim's credit card and later his internet banking credentials. On the basis of technical surveillance, the accused were located in Karmatar in Jamtara,' Goel added. After two days of ground efforts, including surveillance in disguise, the police arrested Jilani and Ansari. Their interrogation led to the arrest of the third accused, Raza. According to the police, the investigation uncovered a detailed modus operandi: the accused used spoofed calls to initiate phishing, sent fake KYC links mimicking SBI's website, and deployed a malicious APK file named 'Customer Support' to hijack real-time OTPs and net banking details. The stolen funds were laundered through gaming apps and digital wallets, including A23 Gaming, Classic Rummy, Mobikwik, and Umpire First Gaming, the police said. The money was then routed through a network of mule accounts and withdrawn in cash using fake SIM cards sold at premium rates to ensure anonymity. According to the police, Jilani and Ansari were responsible for receiving the laundered funds, while Raza deployed the malicious app and forwarded the victim's calls and SMSes to a fake number to confirm transactions. The police have recovered five smartphones, six SIM cards, and one debit card used in the fraud. Authorities have also linked the trio to multiple other complaints lodged via the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal.

This diet trend could be 'catastrophic' for your health, GP warns
A doctor has slammed a TikTok influencer for his controversial diet – saying it could post significant health risks for others. Influencers like Cheshire-based fitness coach Coach Cam are advocating raw milk as a natural alternative to supermarket-bought pasteurised milk, claiming it can alleviate conditions such as eczema, hay fever and allergies. But experts warn raw milk can carry several harmful pathogens, meaning the trend could seriously harm your health. READ MORE: MoJ responds after reports Southport killer Axel Rudakubana was beaten up in Strangeways prison READ MORE: Major disruption to Manchester trains due to 'emergency' incident Coach Cam, who boasts over 300,000 followers on the popular platform, frequently posts videos of himself consuming raw, unpasteurised milk bought from a local farm. Despite his endorsements, medics say his content fails to mention the serious dangers associated with raw milk, including exposure to harmful bacteria, parasites and viruses. Dr. Masarat Jilani, a GP working with bladder care company Jude, has since issued a stern warning about the potential consequences of consuming raw milk. Dr. Jilani cautions against being misled by influencers promoting raw milk as a healthier alternative. "I cannot stress enough the potential dangers associated with consuming raw milk. Unpasteurised milk can harbour harmful bacteria, such as E. coli, which may cause life-threatening illnesses, including complications like acute kidney failure," she said. She also highlighted how certain groups could be particularly vulnerable to the trend. "These risks are significantly heightened for pregnant women, the elderly, children and those with compromised immune systems,' she added. 'The belief that raw milk is inherently healthier lacks scientific support and can lead to serious health consequences." According to health experts, raw milk can carry several harmful pathogens including bacteria's such as salmonella, e. coli and listeria, which can lead to severe diarrhoea, abdominal pain. In extreme cases, it can also lead to miscarriage or kidney failure. It can also carry parasites including cryptosporidium and toxoplasma gondii, which can cause severe gastrointestinal issues and damage to vital organs. Raw milk can also include a range of viruses including hepatitis A, linked to poor hygiene during milk handling, which can cause liver and gastrointestinal illnesses. "The reality is that raw milk poses a risk of illnesses, long-term health complications, and, in rare cases, death,' Dr. Jilani continued. 'Pasteurisation of milk is a critical step in protecting your health and the health of your family. Don't let misleading TikTok trends put your loved ones at risk of preventable harm."
