Noida: Logistics firm says customers' confidential info stolen from database
A logistics company in Sector 60has alleged that confidential information of their customers has allegedly been stolen from their database, police said, adding that an FIR has been registered. An FIR has been registered at Sector 36 cyber crime police station. (Representational image) The complainant, Jaswinder Singh Ahluwalia — group president and CEO of Agarwal Packers and Movers Ltd (APML), said that cyber criminals have got access to the company's database and have stolen customer information such as their addresses and mobile numbers. The alleged breach, he said, came to light on June 1 after multiple customers, including senior government officials, began receiving suspicious calls where the caller would refer to their queries made with the company about moving household goods. Subsequently, the firm conducted an internal technical audit, which confirmed unauthorised cyber intrusion and theft of customer enquiry data. 'The company suspects collusion between internal and external actors, raising the potential national security implications of the breach, given the firm caters to high-ranking bureaucrats, defence officials, diplomats, and judges. This is not just a corporate data leak, it affects public trust, individual privacy, and possibly even national interests. We urge law enforcement to act swiftly,' Ahluwalia said in his complaint. An FIR has been registered at Sector 36 cyber crime police station under sections 318(4) (cheating) and 319(2) (cheating by personation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and sections 66C (identity theft) and 66D (cheating by personation by using computer resource) of the IT Act. Cyber station house officer (SHO), Ranjeet Singh said, 'We have registered an FIR based on the complaint and technical evidence provided by the company. A thorough investigation is underway to trace the source of the breach and identify those involved in the data theft. All digital evidence, including internal audit reports and server logs, are being examined.'

Faridabad: Missing woman was killed in sleep by father-in-law over family feud
The 25-year-old woman whose body was found buried in a soak-pit in front of her in-laws' house in Faridabad's Roshan Nagar on Friday, was strangled to death by her father-in-law while she was asleep on April 21, police said on Saturday. Bhoop Singh, 54, was arrested late on Friday, produced before a city court on Saturday, and taken on a two-day police custody. Tannu Rajput was killed two months ago and buried in a pit outside her in-laws' house, who then told everyone that she had eloped. (HT Photo) During interrogation, Singh told police that family feud was the primary reason behind the murder and he entered Tannu Rajput's room on the night of April 21 when she had fallen asleep. He strangled her to death with her scarf. The deceased's husband Arun Singh, 28, registered a missing person's case at Palla police station on April 24. It is yet not clear if the husband or the other in-laws knew about the crime or were involved. 'We suspect that there might be some other factor too which he is trying to hide,' assistant commissioner of police (ACP) Rajesh Lohan said, adding that Singh, his daughter, and Rajput were present in the house at the time of the crime. Singh runs a tailor shop inside the four-storey house and kept misguiding the police during interrogation in the past months as whenever called, he would reach the Palla police station for 'help and cooperation' to trace her 'missing' daughter-in-law, the ACP said. 'Arun Singh, a private firm employee, was on night duty like other days while his mother was out of town to attend a wedding. The deceased's sister-in-law had gone to sleep on the ground floor while she was sleeping in her bedroom on the first-floor,' Lohan added. After the murder, Singh said he dragged Rajput's body downstairs and dumped it into the soak-pit dug right in front of the entrance and covered it with sand late in the night. Next morning, he filled it further with bricks and roped in a mason to get it cemented. He later told the family members that she had probably eloped as the main gate was open when he woke up on April 22. Police said the pit was dug for sewer connection a couple of days before the murder. After some days, Rajput's family approached Faridabad police and urged them to quiz the father-in-law for clues to know her whereabouts as they suspected foul play. On Friday, police again called the suspect for questioning, when he finally told them about the incident. Police said Rajput's husband, sister-in-law and mother-in-law may also be arrested if their involvement surfaces after further investigation. The missing person's case has been transformed into a murder case by invoking sections 103(1) (murder), 3(5) (common intention) and 61 (criminal conspiracy) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against Rajput's husband and other members of the Singh family, police said.

Is Pakistan Now Air-Dropping Turkish Weapons In Punjab?
Last Updated: The development follows the deployment of Turkish drones by Pakistan against India during the four-day military confrontation in May A troubling new dimension has seemingly emerged in the cross-border dynamics between India and Pakistan, with some reports suggesting Pakistan is now utilising drones to air-drop Turkish PX5 pistols into Punjab. The development follows the deployment of Turkish drones by Pakistan against India during the four-day military confrontation in May. Officials believe the primary goal behind this illicit arms supply is to destabilise law and order in the Indian state of Punjab by arming local gangsters and terror modules with advanced foreign weaponry, says a report by The Tribune. The alarming trend has been substantiated by multiple recoveries made by Indian security agencies this month alone, the report adds. In three separate operations across Punjab, security forces have seized PX5 pistols manufactured by TISAS in Turkey. In a parallel operation, the Amritsar Rural Police intercepted a consignment in Lopoke village, leading to the arrest of Lovepreet Singh, alias Love, and Balwinder Singh, alias Bobby, with one PX5 (.30 bore) pistol, 6.15 kg of heroin, and Rs 10,000 in suspected narco-funds. Investigations revealed these weapons were allegedly air-dropped by a drone sent by a Pakistan-based handler named Noor. A day later, on June 6, the Tarn Taran police detained Surajpal Singh and Arshdeep Singh from Lakhna village, seizing two PX5 pistols along with four Glock 9mm pistols, a consignment also linked by police to Pakistani handlers.
