Gang involved in loan fraud using forged salary slips busted, 2 held
Indore: Vijay Nagar police busted a gang involved in large-scale loan fraud using forged salary slips of a reputed company and arrested two persons on Saturday. "The accused were operating a sophisticated scam by exploiting loopholes in the banking system and presenting themselves as salaried employees of Blue Star Company to secure personal and vehicle loans worth several lakhs from multiple banks," said ACP Aditya Patle. "The fraud came to light following a complaint from HDFC Bank, which reported suspicious documents submitted during a loan application. The documents included fake salary slips and account statements showing regular salary credits from Blue Star Company," he said. During the investigation, it was found that the accused opened a current account in the name of Blue Star using forged GST and business registration documents under the name of an AC technician associated with the company. They regularly transferred fixed amounts from this fake company account to their own and their associates' accounts, portraying them as monthly salaries. The arrested accused have been identified as Ravi Kumar Pal (32), a resident of Sadarpur, Noida, and Devendra Singh (30), a resident of Aanshal Town, Meerut. Both confessed during interrogation to obtaining documents like Aadhaar and PAN cards in fabricated names. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dette er Rolls-Royce'en av høreapparater (og koster under 89 €) Top Trending News Today Lær mer Undo "Devendra, for instance, opened a private bank account in the name of a fictitious person, Dev Sharma, and used that to secure an Rs 11 lakh loan from another private bank by showing fake salary credits," he said. "Ravi Pal used similar tactics by manipulating Aadhaar-linked mobile numbers. He convinced an acquaintance, Shailesh Ahirwar, to link his (Ravi's) number to Shailesh's Aadhaar card. Later, he used OTPs to update Shailesh's address to Indore and created a fake PAN card in Shailesh's name with his own photograph. Using this identity, he opened a bank account, produced forged salary slips, and secured another Rs 11 lakh loan from a private bank," he said. The accused are believed to have previously defrauded several banks of nearly Rs 50 lakh. Encouraged by past success, they attempted another loan using similar methods when HDFC's internal verification raised suspicion, prompting a police complaint. Both accused have been produced before court and are currently in police custody for further interrogation. Investigators are now probing the extent of the scam and identifying other possible accomplices.

6 held for 41L angadia robberies
Surat: In two separate operations, Surat crime branch and Varachha police arrested six persons for two angadia robberies. Gold and diamonds worth Rs 41.58 lakh, in the possession of the angadia firm, had been robbed last week on two occasions. Police are yet to arrest two accused persons who have most of the stolen valuables. Deputy commissioner of police (crime) Bhavesh Roziya stated: "In the first instance, an angadia employee was robbed of Rs 16.56 lakh on June 15 after he got off a bus near Vaishali Circle in Varachha. The accused posed as police personnel, abducted the employee and robbed him of the gold and diamond parcels. "In the second incident, on June 17, an angadia employee was carrying gold and diamond parcels worth Rs 25.02 lakh. Three persons conspired to steal the parcels while he was on a bus and left the city. As both robberies involved the same angadia firm, R Mahindrakumar and Co, and the same Shivay Travels bus, our teams found a link between the two cases. Based on human and technical surveillance, we apprehended Shailesh Rajpurohit and Shravan Rajput from Rajasthan and Jogsinh Rajput from Ahmedabad. We seized valuables worth Rs 4.02 lakh from them," Roziya said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cuối cùng, chơi miễn phí game chiến thuật hay nhất 2025!

"Shailesh has a criminal history, as he was previously booked by Vijaywada police for a 300g gold theft. Hitesh contacted him and tipped him off about the angadia workers carrying valuables. Shailesh summoned all the accused to Vijaywada and held a meeting last month. At the meeting, they decided to rob the angadia employee. The accused arrived in Surat at the beginning of this month and began scouting angadia employees. They rented a car through an app and used it in the robbery," said an official. Shravan was inside the bus to provide the live location to Shailesh, who was waiting to rob the employee on June 15. During the investigation, Surat police found eight persons to be involved, of whom six have been arrested, while two are at large. Police are not ruling out the involvement of more persons.

Love triangle gets bloody, 1 murdered at Agrasen Square
Nagpur: A chilling murder shook Agrasen Chowk on Sunday night, when a ragpicker Anna alias Shailesh was stoned to death by Anurag alias Ghoda Sunil Borkar, 33, in a violent clash over a common love interest. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The gruesome incident, which unfolded around 9.45pm in front of Punjab Hardware and Sanitary Store, left the local community reeling and sparked concerns about safety in the area. Police said Shailesh and Borkar, both natives of Madhya Pradesh, had a history that began in Hosangabad jail, where they spent time together after being arrested for theft. After their release, the duo relocated to Nagpur six years ago. Their friendship soured over a romantic rivalry. Borkar, who lived on the footpath near Ambedkar Chowk, was enraged when his live-in partner grew close to Shailesh, even moving in with him. This love triangle culminated in a fatal confrontation on Sunday night. The First Information Report (FIR) reveals that Rakesh Sabal, a 45-year-old manager at a lodge, was alerted to the attack by Vicky alias Kalya, a 22-year-old ragpicker. Vicky reported that Borkar struck Shailesh on the head and chest with a stone, leaving him in a pool of blood. Sabal promptly informed Tehsil police, who rushed Shailesh to Mayo Hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival. The Tehsil police have registered a murder case against Borkar under Section 103 of the BNS and are actively searching for the accused, who remains at large. Preliminary investigations point to the romantic dispute as the motive, though further inquiries are underway to confirm the details. The incident has heightened fears among Agrasen Chowk residents, who are now demanding stronger security measures. This tragic event underscores the urgent need for community vigilance to prevent such violent crimes in Nagpur, as authorities work to bring the perpetrator to justice.
