Seven booked for Rs 7 L fake currency fraud in Pilibhit
Pilibhit: The Pilibhit police on Friday night registered a case against seven individuals, including a woman, for allegedly cheating three men of Rs 7 lakh by promising to double their money using fake currency notes. Fraudsters called the victims to a spot beneath Naugwan flyover in Pilibhit city and collected Rs 7 lakh. They then went into a nearby house, claiming they would return with fake currency notes worth Rs 14 lakh. However, upon returning, they asked the trio to flee citing a police raid. When the trio approached the accused again, they were threatened with physical harm and false criminal charges. Complainant Rajveer Singh, 47, a tempo driver from Shiv Nagar village, told the police that about a year and a half ago, he paid Rs 3.5 lakh to the fraudsters, which he raised by selling his vehicle and borrowing money. Two of his friends - Makhan Lal, a sweet shop owner, and Parmeshwari Lal - also handed over Rs 3 lakh and Rs 2.5 lakh respectively. The complainants said they delayed filing written complaints while trying to recover their money. Sungarhi SHO Pawan Pandey said that five people from one family, four brothers and their mother, and two brothers from another family, have been booked under IPC sections 420 (cheating and dishonesty), 406 (criminal breach of trust), and 506 (criminal intimidation). When asked by TOI, ASP Viram Dahiya said that police will also investigate the role of the complainants who agreed to accept fake currency notes, as circulating such notes with the intent to make illegal profits is a serious offense.

Uttarakhand helicopter crash: Jaipur-based pilot to be identified through DNA testing
Jaipur: The body of Jaipur-based pilot Rajveer Singh Chauhan (37) who tragically lost his life in a helicopter crash in Uttarakhand on June 15 will be handed over to his family only after identification through the process of DNA testing, an official said on Monday. His elder brother, Chandraveer Singh Chauhan, has reached Rudraprayag in Uttarakhand to claim the body and is accompanied by other family members. Following this, the family will decide on the location for the last rites. Although originally from Dausa, the family has been residing in Jaipur's Shastri Nagar for several years. Rajveer's father, Govind Singh, expressed the family's deep grief, saying: 'We are shattered. It's as if lightning has struck us. We can only say more once our elder son Chandraveer returns with the body.' A retired Lt Colonel, Rajveer was flying for Aryan Aviation Private Limited for the last nine months. On Sunday, at around 5:20 a.m., he sent his final message to the control room shortly before the chopper crashed in the forest area of Gaurikund. The accident claimed the lives of all seven people onboard. Rajveer served in the Indian Army for nearly 14 years. His wife, Deepika Chauhan, is also a Lt Colonel. The couple recently became parents to twin sons, born just four months ago, after 14 years of marriage. Rajveer's father, a retired BSNL employee, shared that the family had been preparing for the Jalwa Poojan (a traditional ceremony) for the newborns. Instead, they are now faced with an unimaginable tragedy. A wave of grief has engulfed the home of Rajveer Singh Chauhan, in Shastri Nagar, Jaipur. Just 15 days before a scheduled celebration to mark the birth of his twin sons, the Chauhan family is now mourning an irreplaceable loss. A constant stream of relatives, friends, and neighbours have been visiting his residence offering condolences. The atmosphere is heavy with disbelief, and the family is still struggling to accept that Rajveer Singh is no longer with them. Govind Singh Chauhan, recounted the heartbreaking moment when he was informed of the crash. 'Rajveer's colleague, Captain V.K. Singh, called me around 7.45 a.m. and informed me about the helicopter accident.' He said: 'Rajveer's last message from the cockpit was, 'I am taking a left turn for landing'. Moments later, the crash occurred.' Rajveer Singh got married in 2011, and after 14 years of marriage, his wife gave birth to twin sons just four months ago. To celebrate this long-awaited joy, the family had planned a grand ceremony on June 30. 'We had booked the venue, finalised the guest list; Rajveer was supposed to come home on June 25 on leave. The entire family was busy preparing for the celebration,' said his father. He further added that although Rajveer Singh had joined Aryan Aviation after retirement, he had taken a break during his wife's delivery and had resumed flying only a month and a half ago. When the news of the crash came in, Govind Singh had to muster great strength to break it to Rajveer's wife. What was meant to be a moment of celebration for the Chauhan family has turned into one of unbearable sorrow. A promising life cut short, a family shattered, and twin sons who will never know their father — the tragedy has left a lasting mark on Jaipur and beyond, said his family members.
