Discom employee arrested for stealing mortgaged car
Times News Network
Khargone: An electricity distribution company employee was arrested on Thursday for stealing a mortgaged car using a duplicate key in Maheshwar.
Maheshwar police station in-charge Jagdish Goyal told TOI that an employee of MP Paschim Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Company, Jitendra, was arrested along with the stolen car.
He said that a resident of Pardeshipura in Indore, Kishore Gehlod, had borrowed money from Golu Sharma of Indore. Unable to repay it, Kishore mortgaged his car to Golu who then began to rent it out. During this time, a Bhopal resident Ishwar rented this car to go to Maheshwar.
When Ishwar parked the car in a hotel in Maheshwar, Kishore got to know about it and gave the vehicle's duplicate key to his brother-in-law, Jitendra alias Jeet.
Jeet stole the car parked in front of the hotel and hid it in the grid of the electricity distribution company located in his hometown of Julwania in Barwani district.
Acting on Ishwar's complaint, the police recovered the car parked in Julwania with the help of CCTV cameras and arrested Jeet. After stealing the car with the help of his brother-in-law, Kishore had informed Golu Sharma that his car was stolen and that he should retrieve it.

Filmmaker Mahesh Jirawala's Death Confirmed In Ahmedabad Plane Crash; Here's What Happened
The confirmation of Mahesh Jirawala's death has come as a shock to the Gujarati film community and his fans. Gujarati filmmaker Mahesh Kalawadia, widely known as Mahesh Jirawala, has been officially confirmed dead in the recent Ahmedabad plane crash. He had been reported missing near Shahibaug on the day of the incident, sparking concerns about his safety. However, if recent reports are to be believed, a burnt Activa scooter registered to Jirawala was discovered at the crash site. This raised suspicions of his involvement in the crash. His mobile phone was also last tracked to the same location before it went off, further pointing to the likelihood that he was among the victims. These findings ultimately helped confirm his tragic demise in the accident. DNA test results have also confirmed his identity. Initially, Jirawala's family was initially unwilling to accept the body, since they could not believe that the filmmaker had passed away in a tragic way. However, after police presented strong evidence, including his Activa's number and the DNA report, the family agreed to claim the body. The confirmation of Mahesh Jirawala's death has come as a shock to the Gujarati film community and his fans. Mahesh, who was also the CEO of the production house, Mahesh Jirawala Productions, was known for directing advertorials and music videos. He has a number of music videos to his credit, primarily in the Gujarati language. The filmmaker had also directed the 2019 film, Cocktail Premi Pag Of Revenge, starring Asha Panchal and Vruti Thakkar in lead roles. For the unversed, on June 12, Flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner (VT-ANB), crashed shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. The incident resulted in the death of 241 out of the 242 people on board, leaving only one survivor.

Bengaluru student trying to sell books online suspects scam, yet loses Rs 90,000 to crook
Bengaluru: An 18-year-old girl, in an attempt to sell her books and make some pocket money, ended up losing Rs 90,000 to online fraudsters recently. Sonal (name changed), residing in Sidedahalli, north Bengaluru, said she lost money on June 15 after posting an advertisement on OLX platform two days earlier to sell her One Piece: East Blue volumes 4-9. She was contacted by potential buyer Ashok Agarwal (no. 7041855882) on June 15. She quoted the price for two books as Rs 1,500 and he readily agreed to buy them. He spoke to her in Hindi and asked her to share her location. He claimed he would make the payment and send his employee to collect the books from her house. "Since it was my first time, I asked him why he was agreeing to make the payment without seeing the books. He spoke to me convincingly and claimed he trusts me. I asked him to pay through a digital payment application (DPA)," Sonal told TOI. "The fraudster told me he would make the payment only through a bank account. He sent QR code of Re 1 and asked me to scan it and receive money so that the account could be verified. Initially, the message displayed was 'transaction failed', but the amount got credited to my account. I thought it was legitimate. He then sent me another code for Rs 1,500. When I scanned it, the money got deducted from my account," Sonal said. "I realised I was being conned and told him so. He claimed it was not a scam and cited technical glitches," Sonal said. He sent her another QR code. But the transaction failed as she didn't have enough balance in the account. "He told me I had insufficient funds and asked me to give an alternative UPI ID. I scanned the code from my mother's DPA, and Rs 4,500 got deducted from her account. I hung up but he kept calling, promising to return the money. Later, he sent another QR code and when I scanned it, Rs 19,500 got deducted from my mother's account twice. He later siphoned off Rs 40,500," Sonal said. Before he could cheat her any further, Sonal's father intervened and pulled up the fraudster over the phone. In an hour, they went to the police station and cops froze the fraudster's account.

Two pretend to help accident victim, steal gold worth 75K
1 2 3 Pune: It was a double whammy for a 32-year-old Kondhwa-based shop owner on Thursday night. First, he was involved in an accident at Tilekarnagar around 10pm. Two men pretended to be "Good Samaritans," offered him help, and stole his gold chain worth Rs75,000 and his two-wheeler's key. The victim then approached the Kondhwa police and lodged a complaint against the unknown duo. An officer from the Kondhwa police told TOI that the complainant, who works with a private company, recently started a disposable supplies store in Tilekarnagar. According to the complainant, on Thursday night, he and his wife went to Yewalewadi to meet his friend, who is also the supplier for his shop. After the meeting, when he and his wife were returning home, their two-wheeler skidded due to a pothole on the road. He said that the complainant and his wife fell off the motorcycle. Due to the sudden jerk, the complainant fainted for a while. His wife sustained minor bruises on her hands. Two men approached them and helped the complainant to sit along the road. One of them also lifted the complainant's motorcycle and parked it properly. The officer said that when the duo started leaving the spot, the complainant thanked them for their help. While he was talking to his wife, the complainant realised that his gold chain worth Rs75,000 was missing. The victim and his wife checked the area but did not find it. They then decided to trace the duo. When he headed towards his two-wheeler, he found that its key was also missing. He said that when the complainant did not find the key, he realised that the duo might have stolen his chain and key under the pretext of help. "He approached us and lodged a complaint. Our investigations are ongoing," he said.
