Should Judges Enter Politics After Retirement?: Here’s What Former CJI Chandrachud SaidTop Crypto Recovery Companies to Consider
MUMBAI: A 63-year-old resident of Goregaon fell prey to cyber fraud, losing ₹ 71.24 lakh in a scheme orchestrated by scammers posing as Customs and CBI officials. The victim was manipulated through threats and fake documents into believing he was implicated in a money-laundering case involving illegal passports, debit cards, and drugs. According to the police, the victim, who retired in 2018 from the Bandra head office of a steel manufacturing firm, lives with his wife and son in Goregaon. On September 24, around 8:30 am, he received a call from a person claiming to be a Customs official at Delhi Airport. The caller alleged that a parcel booked in the victim’s name had arrived at the Cargo Complex Terminal, containing 16 illegal passports, 58 debit cards, and 180 grams of MDMA, and had been flagged as suspicious. The caller informed the victim that his Aadhaar card had been misused to book the parcel from Singapore. To escalate the matter, he said that Sunil Kumar from the Delhi Police Crime Branch would contact him for further questioning. Shortly after, Sunil Kumar contacted the victim via a WhatsApp video call, demanding that he display his Aadhaar card on camera and share images of both sides. Pretending to record the victim’s statement, the fraudster instructed him to isolate himself in his bedroom for privacy. The scammers falsely claimed that a case had been registered against a certain Sanjay Singh, who had allegedly deposited ₹ 38 crore in the victim’s bank account. When the victim denied any such transaction, the fraudster accused him of involvement in money laundering, further intimidating him by threatening his family’s safety if he revealed the matter to anyone. The victim was then sent forged documents via WhatsApp, including a “Confidentiality Agreement for Asset Seizure Order” and a “Warrant of Arrest,” both of which appeared to be official government documents bearing the emblem of the Ashoka Pillar and “Satyamev Jayate.” Under duress, the victim disclosed details of all his bank accounts, balances, and investments. The scammers escalated the fraud by introducing another accomplice who posed as a CBI officer. This “officer” persuaded the victim to transfer all his savings— ₹ 71.24 lakh—to a designated account, assuring him that his assets would be returned after the investigation. The victim realised he had been duped only after transferring the funds through RTGS. He subsequently approached the Cyber Police and lodged a complaint at the North Cyber Police Station. Police have registered a case against unidentified persons under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Information Technology Act. An investigation is underway to trace the frauds and recover the stolen money. Authorities have urged citizens to remain vigilant against such scams and to verify the authenticity of any claims before sharing sensitive information or transferring funds.

Ruben Amorim warned “the storm will come” eventually as Manchester United’s head coach tried to temper expectations ahead of the trip to Arsenal. The 39-year-old has been a breath of fresh air since succeeding Erik ten Hag, with his personality and approach, coupled with promising early performances, bringing hope back to Old Trafford. Amorim has been touched by his warm welcome but repeatedly urged fans to avoid jumping the gun, having followed a draw at Ipswich with home wins against Bodo/Glimt and Everton. Put to Amorim it will be hard to manage expectations if they won in the capital, the head coach said: “I would like to say different things, but I have to say it again: the storm will come. “I don’t know if you use that expression, but we are going to have difficult moments and we will be found out in some games. “And I know that because I’m knowing my players and I know football and I follow football, so I understand the difference between the teams. “We are in the point in that we are putting simple things in the team, without training, and you feel it in this game against Everton, they change a little bit the way they were building up. “They are very good team, and we were with a lot of problems because we cannot change it by calling one thing to the captain. “So, we don’t have this training, so let’s focus on each game, on the performance, what we have to improve, trying to win games. And that is the focus. “I know it’s really hard to be a Manchester United coach and say these things in press conferences. We want to win all the time. No matter what. “We are going to try to win, but we know that we are in a different point if you compare to Arsenal. “So, it is what it is and we will try to win it and we go with confidence to win, but we know that we need to play very well to win the next football match.” The trip to Arsenal is the second of nine December matches for United, who are looking to avoid suffering four straight league defeats to the Gunners for the first time. The Red Devils have not won a Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium since 2017, but Amorim knows a thing or two about frustrating Mikel Arteta’s men. “Arsenal this year, they play a little bit different,” Amorim said. “They are more fluid. “For example, two years ago when we faced them with Sporting, you knew how to press because you can understand better the structure. “Now it’s more fluid with (Riccardo) Calafiori and (Jurrien) Timber in different sides. One coming inside, the other going outside. Also (Martin) Odegaard changed the team, and you can feel it during this season. “So, you can take something from that game, especially because I know so well the opponent so you can understand the weakness of that team. “But every game is different, so you take something, but you already know that you are going to face a very good team.” The 22-year-old, who put in a man of the match display in Sunday’s 4-0 win against Everton, is out of contract at the end of the season, although the club holds an option to extend by a year. Diallo has repeatedly spoken of his desire to stay at United and it has been reported an agreement is close. Amorim said: “I think he wants to stay, and we want him to stay. So that is clear and we will find a solution.”
