Shock in Rampur: Father of six marries his minor son's bride-to-be

In a bizarre turn of events from Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, a man named Shakeel reportedly married the woman who was originally chosen to be his 15-year-old son's bride. According to Shakeel's wife, Shabana, he developed feelings for the young woman while visiting her home during the wedding discussions and began communicating with her over the phone frequently.
Shabana, a mother of six children with Shakeel, claimed that she suspected the affair early on and even caught them together on two separate occasions. "He would spend the entire day on video calls with her. Initially, no one believed me, but eventually, my son and I gathered proof," she said.
After discovering his father's affair, the teenage son reportedly refused to go through with the marriage. He further alleged that his grandparents were aware of the situation and even supported Shakeel in marrying the woman. The son also accused Shakeel of taking Rs 2 lakh in cash and around 17 grams of gold from the family before marrying her.

After Delhi man flags use of his PAN, Aadhaar cards for fraud, two linked to GST racket arrested: Cops

When Sumit, a resident of Sagarpur in Southwest Delhi, recently applied for a Goods and Services Tax (GST) registration number using his PAN card, he was shocked to discover that two GST numbers had already been fraudulently issued in his name. These registrations, he later claimed in a police complaint, were done without his knowledge or consent, and the firms operating under the GST numbers were allegedly conducting large-scale business transactions. He also told police that a SIM card had also been issued using his Aadhaar card credentials. An investigation into the case on Friday led to the arrest of two men who were allegedly involved in a large-scale GST fraud. Identified as Inderpal (45), a lawyer, and Sandeep (27), the accused were allegedly found to be systematically generating fake GST numbers using forged documents and later utilising these firms to issue fraudulent GST bills and facilitating fraudulent tax settlements, said police. During the investigation into Sumit's complaint, the police obtained detailed information from the Goods and Services Tax Department, which confirmed that two firms were indeed registered using his PAN details. Physical verification at the registered addresses revealed that the firms were fake, prompting the officers to ramp up surveillance and technical tracking. Further probe into the case led to the identification of Sandeep, who was eventually apprehended from his hometown in Chulkana in Haryana's Panipat. Upon questioning, he allegedly revealed that he was employed by Inderpal, an advocate from Northeast Delhi's Burari, and that he had been working with him for the past seven years. According to his statement, the duo procured GST registrations using genuine identity documents, such as PAN cards, Aadhaar cards, SIM cards, and rent agreements, belonging to their unsuspecting victims. Once the firms were acquired, they would log into the GST portal, update the contact details, including mobile numbers and email addresses, and then use these accounts to issue counterfeit GST bills. 'Thereafter, based on the technical analysis, Inderpal was traced in Kairana in Shamli, Uttar Pradesh. He had absconded to Kairana after Sandeep's arrest. Inderpal was arrested in the case, and he was taken into police custody. During his sustained questioning, he disclosed that he used to procure GST firms from other associates located in Delhi for Rs 25,000-30,000 per firm. They also provided the login details and a SIM card. He also disclosed that the SIM cards were also provided by other members of the syndicate,' said DCP South West Amit Goel. The police recovered three smartphones, one laptop, and a pen drive from the possession of the accused, all of which were allegedly used in the execution of the fraud. These devices are now being forensically examined to trace the full extent of the operation and identify other members of the syndicate, said police. According to the police, Sandeep was allegedly responsible for operating the technical aspects of the fraudulent scheme, including the creation and uploading of fake bills. Inderpal, allegedly leveraging his professional status as a lawyer, handled procurement and coordination with outside associates. Their collaboration allegedly enabled them to run a seamless operation that posed a significant risk to the integrity of the GST system, said officers.

'Every player speeds': Former NFL player Asante Samuel defends Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders amid speeding controversies

Shedeur Sanders (via Getty Images) Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is in the sights after being cited for two separate speeding infractions in June, calling his maturity and readiness for the NFL into question. But amid the criticism, one-time vocal critic of Deion Sanders and former NFL cornerback Asante Samuel stepped forward to openly defend the young quarterback, saying that Sanders is being targeted simply because of his surname. Shedeur Sanders' off-field problems ignite backlash—and surprising backing The month of June has not been working out well for Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, but not for anything on the gridiron. Shedeur Sanders was cited twice for two different speeding offenses: once for driving 91 mph in a 65 zone on June 5 and again for going 101 mph in a 60 zone just days after. To make things worse, Shedeur Sanders allegedly failed to show up for the first offense court hearing. But amid all the criticism, there was one voice that emerged in defense of Sanders: ex-NFL Pro Bowl cornerback Asante Samuel. On social media, Asante Samuel delivered a simple refutation of the criticism levied at Shedeur Sanders. "Every player speeds," Asante Samuel wrote. "This is normal athlete behavior, but because his last name is Sanders, the haters want to bring as much negative attention as possible. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cardiologists: Losing a Hanging Tummy Comes Down To This 1 Thing Health Wellness Journal Watch More Undo I never seen a community want to tear a player down like we are witnessing." Asante Defends Shedeur Sanders Verbiage/Terminology Dispute Samuel's comments are especially compelling with his own past public feud with Deion Sanders, Shedeur's father and a Pro Football Hall of Famer. The two had a digital falling out in previous years but have since made amends, making Samuel's speaking out on Shedeur's behalf especially significant. Shedeur Sanders himself has already pushed back against the criticism, admitting his transgressions in an interview at tight end David Njoku's charity softball game. "I made some wrong choices personally, and I can own up to them," Sanders was heard saying on video, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. "I made some, you know, not great choices… I learned."

It is to be seen how he handles adversity outside the game, which may be just as crucial to his long-term NFL career.

Rs 100 Crore Fake GST Refund Scam Busted By CBI

New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has launched a major crackdown in a case involving bogus GST refund claims amounting to nearly Rs 100 crore, allegedly orchestrated through fake export bills. On Friday, the central agency carried out searches across seven locations in Bihar and Jharkhand, including Patna, Purnea, Jamshedpur, Nalanda, and Munger. According to the FIR, the scam involves senior officials of the Customs Department, including the then Additional Commissioner, Customs, Patna, Shri Ranvijay Kumar along with four other former Superintendents, some of whom are now serving as Assistant Commissioners. They allegedly, said the CBI, colluded with a private G-card holder, multiple exporter and importer firms, and unknown others to fraudulently claim tax refunds. The accused are alleged to have conspired to show fake exports of tiles and automobile parts through Land Customs Stations (LCS) at Bhimnagar, Jaynagar, and Bhittamore, said the agency. The documentation was purportedly used to fraudulently obtain GST refunds from the jurisdictional GST offices, the CBI added. During the searches, officials recovered 7 gold bars of 100 grams each, several incriminating documents, and mobile phones linked to the case. The CBI has registered a case under sections related to criminal conspiracy and corruption. Investigation is underway to trace the money trail and establish the full scale of the alleged fraudulent network.
