Lid off cyber crime
New Delhi, November 1 The money is transferred as the "foreign national" informs them that he needs money for a security deposit to be released from the airport's Customs. The Delhi Police have registered three such cases in connection with this crime. According to a police officer, in one such case which took place about three months ago, a man was duped of Rs 3 lakh. The police had discovered that a gang allegedly run by Nigerian nationals was carrying out this racket. Explaining how the gang had executed the crime, the officer said, "The gang member posed as a foreign national who came in contact with the victim over the social networking website, Facebook. The man said that he wanted to meet the victim. A meeting was fixed in Delhi. The man called him over his mobile phone and said that he was detained by the Customs for some missing paperwork. He told the victim that the Customs demanded Rs 3 lakh as a security deposit for his release. He gave the victim a bank account number and the victim transferred his money to it. The foreign national then switched off his phone and disappeared." During its investigation, the police discovered many fake profiles on Facebook and learnt that the Nigerian gang was involved in this case. The profiles were being used from Delhi, Bhopal, Indore and a few other Indian cities. |

BJP violates model code of conduct, says Congress
New Delhi, November 1 The Congress has warned that if action is not taken against those responsible for it, the party will start an agitation. The Congress said that BJP MP Mahesh Girri, in violation of the election model code of conduct, today laid the foundation stone of two schools, one at Madanpur Khader's Phase II and the other at Phase III in the Okhla Assembly constituency. DPCC president Arvinder Singh alleged that the BJP was misusing power to break all the rules and regulations to derive political mileage. Congress MLA from Okhla Asif Mohammed Khan had held a dharna on this issue, alleging that the Raj Niwas was functioning under pressure of the BJP. Arvinder said the Raj Niwas was not exercising its constitutional authority on the issue of government formation in Delhi. The BJP was trying hard to delay the elections. He made it clear that the Congress would not extend its support to a government without a clear majority. Another party leader Mukesh Sharma said the Congress would put up a good show in all the three seats, and the elections would teach a bitter lesson to the BJP as well as
AAP. |
