By Dheeraj Fartode Shocking allegations of misconduct have emerged against a police officer in Nagpur City Police. The officer is accused of abusive and degrading behaviour, particularly targeting accused in Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Sources claim that the senior officer arrives at the police station and calls the accused into a separate room, where the officer not only hurls abuse at the accused but also spits at their face. Later, the officer allegedly kicks the accused in the private parts. In some incidents, when a couple approached a police station in Nagpur to file a complaint following a domestic dispute, the police sent a proposal for preventive action to the officer. However, instead of handling the matter professionally, the officer allegedly made the man sit down, then kicked him in the private parts and leave him in pain and humiliation. The behaviour of the high ranked official have raised questions about the professionalism of law enforcemen...
On-line fraudsters have targeted two bank accounts of owner of Ajit Bakery and transferred Rs 41.50 lakh from the accounts. SIM card of the owner linked to the bank accounts was swapped by the fraudsters from Pune location to commit the crime.
According to police, Avanti Abhiram Deshmukh (48), a resident of Plot No. 145, Farmland, Ramdaspeth, lodged a complaint with Dhantoli police about the fraud on Monday. Avanti and other partners of Ajit Bakery have two bank accounts at Saraswat Bank’s Wardha Road branch.
The money was transferred to HDFC bank account of Jafar Khan; Andhra Bank account of Sameer Singh; Development Credit Bank (DCB) of DG Enterprizes; ICICI bank account in the name of Vandana Devi and another ICICI bank account in the name of India First Trading. These bank accounts are located in Gujarat, Delhi and Rajasthan, the officer said and added that the fraud took place between Saturday and Monday.
The fraudsters hatched the conspiracy of targeting the bank accounts after getting basic banking details. They gathered bank’s name, account number and registered mobile number after penetrating trozen or malware in the server or hacking email.
Soon after, the fraudsters forged Aadhaar card of Avanti Deshmukh and submitted at BSNL’s office at Pune and got a duplicate SIM card on Saturday. The mobile number of Avanti linked with the bank account was activated on the duplicate SIM card while Avanti’s SIM card was automatically deactivated.
Within three days, the criminals transferred Rs 41.50 lakh from the two bank accounts. As Avanti’s SIM was not working, alert messages about transactions were not received on her mobile phone.
The fraud came to fore on Monday when she checked balance in the bank accounts. She was shocked after seeing fraudulent transactions and reported the matter to Dhantoli police.
Dhantoli Police have registered an offence under Sections 420, 468, 471 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code against the fraudsters.
