CCTV footage from the surrounding area is being examined to trace the assailants and establish the exact sequence of events. A forensic and ballistic team has also collected evidence from the spot. Senior officers stated that the detained suspects were picked up during a coordinated intelligence-based operation, and early interrogation suggests links to organised criminal networks operating across Mumbai and neighbouring regions. Background of the Gang The Lawrence Bishnoi gang is an organised criminal syndicate allegedly involved in extortion, arms trafficking, and targeted attacks. The gang has previously been linked to several high-profile cases, making the latest incident a matter of serious concern for law enforcement agencies.

The court ordered that he be sent to judicial custody as investigations in the case continue. The next date of hearing is expected to be announced shortly. Produced Before Andheri Court KRK was earlier arrested by Mumbai Police following questioning related to a firing incident reported from the Oshiwara area. Police officials stated that the actor admitted the firing involved his licensed firearm, following which he was taken into custody.

MBVV Police Crack International Cyber Fraud Racket Duping Indians of ₹200 Crore via Matrimonial Websites

MBVV Police Crack International Cyber Fraud Racket Duping Indians of ₹200 Crore via Matrimonial Websites

January 6, 2026
MBVV Police Crack International Cyber Fraud Racket Duping Indians of ₹200 Crore via Matrimonial Websites The accused allegedly targeted victims through matrimonial websites and social media, gaining their trust before luring them into fake forex and gold-trading schemes promising unusually high returns. Mumbai | Undercover Editor News Channel In a significant crackdown on cybercrime, the Mira-Bhayandar–Vasai-Virar (MBVV) Police have dismantled an international cyber fraud syndicate that allegedly duped citizens across India of more than ₹200 crore by exploiting matrimonial websites and social media platforms. The operation was carried out by the Crime Detection Branch (CDB), Cell-4, following confidential intelligence inputs. Acting swiftly, police raided Shivsai Residency Lodging and Boarding on the Ahmedabad Highway near Vasai, leading to the arrest of seven accused involved in the elaborate online scam. How the scam worked According to investigators, the accused first approached victims through popular matrimonial portals and social networking sites, presenting themselves as well-educated, financially successful individuals seeking relationships. Over time, they built emotional trust before introducing victims to supposedly “high-return” online forex and gold-trading investments. Victims were redirected to fake trading websites, where initial small profits were shown to create confidence. Once trust was established, the victims were persuaded to invest larger sums. Eventually, the funds were siphoned off through multiple bank accounts, leaving victims with massive financial losses—often wiping out their life savings. Interstate and international links Police revealed that the racket has links to at least 51 cybercrime cases registered across several states, including Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Delhi, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, West Bengal, Goa, and Chandigarh. Investigations further indicate that the operation was being controlled from outside India, using mule bank accounts, encrypted communication platforms, and fake digital identities to evade law-enforcement agencies. Legal action and arrests The case was initially registered at Naigaon Police Station under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Sections 66(c) and 66(d) of the Information Technology Act. Given the scale and complexity of the crime, the investigation was transferred to the CDB, Cell-4, on the orders of the MBVV Police Commissioner. The arrested accused have been identified as: All accused are currently in judicial custody. Police warning to citizens Senior crime branch officials have urged citizens to remain cautious while interacting with unknown individuals online, especially those promoting investment opportunities promising unrealistically high returns. “Cybercriminals are increasingly exploiting emotional connections and digital trust. People must verify platforms and avoid transferring money based on online persuasion,” a senior officer stated. Further investigation is ongoing to identify additional suspects, trace the money trail, and coordinate with international agencies.

Two Senior Employees Booked for Rs 4.86 Crore Corporate Fraud in Mumbai

December 23, 2025
Two Senior Employees Booked for Rs 4.86 Crore Corporate Fraud in Mumbai Mumbai | Undercover Editor News Channel Mumbai: In a major case of corporate fraud, Mumbai Police have registered an offence against two senior employees for allegedly cheating their company of ₹4.86 crore by forging official documents and abusing their position of trust. The accused, identified as Deepak Rajesh Shah (49) and Deepak Prakash Naik (51), were working with Triveni Mudrai Project Limited and are accused of fabricating company records to illegally secure bank loans for personal gain. The case has been registered at Marine Drive Police Station, and further investigation is underway. Forged Documents Used to Secure Bank Loans According to police officials, the accused allegedly conspired in 2024 to create a fake board resolution and forged company documents, falsely presenting them as authorised approvals. These documents were submitted to a bank without the knowledge or consent of the company’s management. Based on the forged paperwork, the accused reportedly obtained two separate loans amounting to ₹2 crore — ₹1.20 crore and ₹80 lakh — which were later used to purchase luxury vehicles, including an Audi Q7, strictly for personal use. Company Funds Allegedly Misappropriated Investigators also revealed that an additional ₹14.11 lakh was allegedly transferred from the company’s Cuffe Parade branch bank account to another account and misappropriated. Police further stated that the accused had earlier availed loans worth ₹2.86 crore for purchasing two other vehicles, which were initially approved by the company. However, despite resigning from their official roles and severing all ties with the firm, Deepak Naik allegedly retained possession of all four vehicles without authorisation. Even after the company issued a legal notice demanding the return of the vehicles, the accused allegedly failed to comply. Total Loss Pegged at ₹4.86 Crore The company has claimed that the fraudulent activities carried out by the accused resulted in a total financial loss of ₹4.86 crore. Based on the complaint, police have booked both individuals under relevant sections related to cheating, forgery, criminal breach of trust, and conspiracy. Authorities have confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and further action will be taken based on financial audits and banking records.
‘Suffered in Silence’: Deaf and Mute Mumbai Woman Files Sexual Assault Complaint After 16 Years; Accused Arrested

‘Suffered in Silence’: Deaf and Mute Mumbai Woman Files Sexual Assault Complaint After 16 Years; Accused Arrested

December 18, 2025
‘Suffered in Silence’: Deaf and Mute Mumbai Woman Files Sexual Assault Complaint After 16 Years; Accused Arrested Mumbai | Undercover Editor News Channel In a deeply disturbing case that highlights the long road to justice faced by survivors with disabilities, a deaf and mute woman from Mumbai has finally filed a police complaint 16 years after she was allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted. The accused has now been arrested by the police. The incident dates back to 2009, when the survivor was a minor. According to the police, the woman had attended a friend’s birthday party, where the accused first noticed her. Later that evening, one of her acquaintances took her to the accused’s residence. Investigators say the accused offered the girl a beverage laced with intoxicants. After she lost consciousness, he allegedly sexually assaulted her. When the survivor regained consciousness, she realised she was bleeding and had been violated. Lack of Support Delayed Justice The survivor reportedly informed her family abou t the assault at the time. However, due to a lack of adequate support, social pressure, and communication barriers arising from her disability, no formal police complaint was filed then. For years, she endured the trauma in silence. It was only recently, after receiving emotional and practical support from her husband, that she gathered the courage to approach the police and seek justice. Accused Arrested, Shocking Digital Evidence Found Following the complaint, Kurar Police arrested the accused and later transferred the case to Vakola Police, as the crime had occurred within their jurisdiction. During the investigation, police seized the accused’s mobile phone. A preliminary examination revealed several inappropriate videos of different women. Investigators suspect that the accused may have secretly recorded these women during video calls without their consent and later used the footage to blackmail them. “This suggests a pattern of predatory behaviour,” a police officer said, adding that efforts are underway to identify and contact other potential victims. Investigation Ongoing Police have registered the case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, considering the survivor was a minor at the time of the incident. Further investigation is ongoing, and authorities are appealing to other possible victims to come forward and record their statements. A Stark Reminder The case underscores the additional vulnerabilities faced by women with disabilities and the systemic barriers that often prevent them from accessing justice. Activists say it also highlights the urgent need for better support systems, accessible reporting mechanisms, and greater sensitivity within families and institutions. While justice may have come late, the survivor’s decision to speak up has reopened the door to accountability — not just for her, but potentially for others who may have suffered at the hands of the same accused.

Mumbai Businessman Duped of ₹33.5 Lakh on Promise of Medical Seat; Separate ₹70 Lakh Gold Fraud Reported in Thane

December 9, 2025
Mumbai Businessman Duped of ₹33.5 Lakh on Promise of Medical Seat; Separate ₹70 Lakh Gold Fraud Reported in Thane Mumbai / Thane | Undercover Editor News Agency Mumbai Police have registered a case against two individuals from Chennai for allegedly cheating a city-based businessman of ₹33.5 lakh, promising him a medical college seat for his daughter. The FIR was filed at the complainant’s nearest police station after nearly three years of waiting and repeated false assurances, officials confirmed. Medical Seat Scam: Accused Take ₹33.5 Lakh, No Admission Provided According to the FIR, the complainant’s daughter had appeared for her Class 12 examinations three years ago and later attempted the NEET 2022 entrance test. However, she could not secure admission to any medical college in Maharashtra due to low scores. Through relatives, the businessman came into contact with the accused — Rocky Savio and Stephen Duxter, both residents of Chennai. They allegedly assured him that they could arrange admission in a reputed medical college in Chennai, quoting a total cost of ₹33.5 lakh. Trusting their promise, the complainant transferred the entire amount. But despite several months of waiting, no admission letter or confirmation arrived. The accused allegedly continued giving misleading or evasive replies, raising suspicion. Following a preliminary inquiry, police registered a case of cheating, though no arrests have been made yet. Authorities added that the investigation is underway to trace the money trail and verify the role of both suspects. Separate Case: Thane Jeweller Cheated of ₹70 Lakh; Three Persons Booked In a second cheating case, the Thane Police have booked a couple and an accomplice for allegedly duping a Dombivli-based jeweller of nearly ₹70 lakh worth of gold ornaments. The accused reportedly built trust over several months by purchasing small quantities of gold and making timely payments. After gaining confidence, they allegedly bought gold ornaments worth ₹70 lakh across three transactions in October — but failed to pay thereafter. When the jeweller repeatedly demanded payment, the accused allegedly abused and threatened him, according to the police. Based on the complaint filed on 5 December, a case has been registered under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including: The investigation is currently in progress, and no arrests have been reported so far. Growing Trend of Financial Frauds Both cases highlight the rising trend of targeted financial scams — from admission rackets to gold purchase frauds — exploiting trust, urgency, and loopholes in verification mechanisms. Police have urged the public to remain cautious and verify credentials before making large financial commitments.
