Mumbai: Special MP & MLA Court Frames Money Laundering Charges Against NCP Leader Nawab Malik NCP leader Nawab Malik arrives at court as the Special MP & MLA Court frames money laundering charges in the Kurla land case linked to D-Company associates. Court Rejects Discharge Plea; Malik, Family Firms & 1993 Blast Convict Sardar Khan to Face Trial for Alleged Links With D-Company Mumbai | Undercover Editor News: In a significant development, the Special MP & MLA Court in Mumbai on Tuesday formally framed money laundering charges against senior NCP leader Nawab Malik, his family-owned companies Malik Infrastructure and Solidus Investments, and 1993 blast convict Sardar Khan. Malik pleaded not guilty, paving the way for a full-fledged trial in the long-running Enforcement Directorate (ED) case. The order comes days after the court dismissed the discharge pleas filed by Malik and his companies, observing that the investigative material prima facie showed Malik’s alleged conspiracy with D-Company members Haseena Parkar, Salim Patel, and Sardar Khan to illegally acquire a prime parcel of Kurla land and launder the proceeds generated from it. Court’s Observation: “Clear Evidence of Laundering Usurped Property” While rejecting the discharge plea, the court noted:      “It is evident that Nawab Malik, in connivance with D-Company members — Haseena Parkar, Salim Patel, and accused Sardar Khan — participated in laundering illegally usurped property, which constitutes proceeds of crime.” The court further stated that the rent collected through Solidus Investments and Malik Infrastructure—both controlled by the Malik family—must also be treated as proceeds of crime. The Kurla Land Case: How the Deal Was Structured         According to the prosecution: The agency has also accused Malik Infrastructure of collecting ₹9.60 crore in rent through lease arrangements structured after 2010-11. What ED Says Happened With the Rent What Happens Next With charges framed, the court is set to commence trial proceedings. Malik, who has maintained that the case is politically motivated, will now face detailed scrutiny in court along with the co-accused. This case is among the most high-profile money laundering matters involving a senior Maharashtra politician and D-Company-linked land transactions.

Mumbai Teen Alleges Abduction, Sexual Abuse, Forced Surgery & Extortion by Transgender Gang Malwani Police have arrested four accused after a 19-year-old student alleged abduction, torture, blackmail and forced gender reassignment surgery. Malad student claims he was blackmailed, tortured and coerced into gender reassignment surgery; Malwani Police arrest four accused Mumbai | Undercover Editor News Agency | November 14, 2025.A 19-year-old BCom student from Malad has alleged a horrifying series of abuses at the hands of a local transgender gang, including abduction, torture, blackmail, extortion and being forcibly subjected to gender reassignment surgery in Surat. Malwani police have registered a case under multiple serious charges and arrested four accused individuals, while the investigation continues. According to police, the teen—who lives in Appapada, Kurar village—first came into contact with the accused about a year and a half ago. He befriended a transgender individual named Kaveri (alias Kartik Vedamani Nikam), through whom he met Neha Khan (alias Neha Ipte), believed to be leading a transgender group operating in the Malwani area. Blackmail & Threats After Assault The FIR states that on August 5, the student was invited to Neha’s house. Upon arrival, he alleged that Neha, Kaveri, Bhaskar Shetty, and Mahi pressured him to undergo gender transition. When he refused, he was allegedly confined in a room, assaulted, and forced into performing obscene acts while being filmed. The teen claimed the videos were then used to extort money. Out of fear, his mother transferred ₹10,000 to the accused. Over the following weeks, the suspects allegedly continued demanding more money and subjected him to humiliation and violence. He reported being beaten, forced to wear a saree, and made to beg in public. Forced Surgery in Surat In a deeply disturbing allegation, the student told police that on October 28, Neha, her husband Sohail Khan, their adopted son Bhaskar, and others transported him to a hospital near Surat’s Ripple Mall. There, he was allegedly coerced into signing documents before undergoing non-consensual gender reassignment surgery. After returning to Mumbai, his ordeal reportedly continued. He claimed Neha poured hot water on his operated area, forced him to do household chores, and demanded ₹4.5 lakh to “free” him. Escape, Re-Abduction & Police Action The teenager managed to escape on November 4, but was allegedly abducted again shortly afterwards. A vigilant local resident intervened, allowing him to get away safely. He then approached Kurar police station, where a zero FIR was registered and later transferred to Malwani police, who have jurisdiction over the alleged crime location. “Based on the victim’s detailed statement, we have registered a case under sections related to criminal conspiracy, kidnapping, sexual assault, extortion, and forced medical mutilation. Four accused have been arrested so far,” a Malwani police officer confirmed. Police said more arrests are likely as the investigation progresses.

According to the BKC Police, the accused, identified as Digambar Patil, was employed as an accountant at V.V.A.C. Business of Ideas Pvt. Ltd., a firm operated by Sagar Thakkar, 32, a resident of Marine Lines. The company employs around 12 people and manages several creative and production ventures from its BKC office. Patil, who joined the company on August 16, 2023, reportedly gained his employer’s trust by handling all major financial and transactional matters. However, discrepancies came to light during a tax audit, which revealed multiple fake bills issued to unknown individuals and firms. When questioned by his employer, Patil gave vague and evasive answers, and soon after, stopped coming to work — citing illness and festive preparations for Diwali. Following several failed attempts to contact him, Thakkar warned of police involvement. It was then that Patil allegedly confessed to fabricating invoices and misappropriating company funds.   The BKC police registered a case against the accountant on November 6 under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including Section 318(4) (cheating) and Section 314 (criminal misappropriation of property). Authorities have initiated a detailed investigation to trace where the embezzled funds were diverted and whether more individuals were involved. — Reported by UnderCover Editor News Agency

November 6, 2025
Mumbai Coastal Road Theft: Complainant Turns Out to Be the Main Accused In a surprising twist, the Worli Police have arrested a civil supervisor and two others in connection with the theft of nearly 150 kilograms of iron-concrete blocks from the ongoing Mumbai Coastal Road project. The most shocking revelation — the man who himself lodged the complaint was found to be the main accused behind the theft. According to police officials, the prime accused, Robin Kumar Vishnu Singh (27), worked as a civil supervisor for a private firm contracted by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for the prestigious Coastal Road project. Singh, who hails from Rampur village in Bihar, initially filed a complaint at Worli Police Station claiming that several construction materials were stolen from the project site.However, during the investigation, CCTV footage and witness statements revealed that Singh had orchestrated the entire theft himself. Police found that the missing iron-concrete blocks, each weighing several dozen kilograms, were loaded into a truck and sold as scrap. Two others, identified as driver Prakash Ledo Mahto (35) and scrap dealer Kumaluddin Khan (38), were also arrested for their involvement. Mahto allegedly transported the material from the site on Singh’s instructions, while Khan purchased the stolen goods. Police later recovered ₹10,000, the amount received from the sale, from Khan’s brother. A senior police officer from Worli Police Station stated, “The accused tried to act smart by posing as a complainant to divert suspicion, but detailed CCTV footage exposed his real role as the mastermind behind the theft.” The trio has been booked under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for theft, criminal breach of trust, and common intention. Investigators are now probing whether the group was involved in similar thefts at other sites of the Mumbai Coastal Road project. This case once again highlights how internal vigilance and quick investigative work by the Mumbai Police are crucial in protecting major public infrastructure projects from internal fraud and corruption.Reported by UnderCover Editor News Agency MumbaiNews #CrimeUpdate #CoastalRoad #WorliPolice #UnderCoverEditor #CityCrime #InfrastructureTheft #MumbaiCoastalRoad #UnderCoverEditorNews #RevealingWhatMatters

Cyber Cops Warn Citizens of Fake Traffic E-Challan & SIM Hijack Frauds

November 2, 2025
Cyber Cops Warn Citizens of Fake Traffic E-Challan & SIM Hijack Frauds Mumbai: The Mumbai Cyber Crime Police have issued a strong advisory warning citizens about a new wave of online scams — from fake traffic e-challan messages on WhatsApp to SIM hijack frauds through bogus credit card offers.According to officials, cybercriminals are impersonating traffic police officers on WhatsApp, sending fake messages containing malicious links designed to trick users into downloading harmful files or revealing personal details.The advisory highlights several red flags citizens should watch for:Messages from unknown WhatsApp numbers claiming to be from traffic police.APK files with suspicious names like “Traffic Fine” or “RTO Challan”.Payment requests made through personal UPI handles.Links that don’t end with “.gov.in” or aren’t related to parivahan.gov.in.“Citizens must avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown files and should never transfer money through personal UPI handles,” the police advisory stated.In another alarming trend, cyber cops have also warned about SIM hijack frauds linked to fake credit card offers. Scammers contact victims posing as bank representatives, offering ‘lifetime free’ or ‘high-limit’ credit cards. They then collect sensitive identity details like PAN, Aadhaar, mobile number, and date of birth under the pretext of KYC verification.Once they have the information, fraudsters approach telecom providers claiming the user has lost their phone and initiate a SIM swap. With control over the victim’s mobile number, they gain access to bank OTPs, UPI verifications, and online transactions, swiftly draining funds from the victim’s account through mule accounts or digital wallets.Officials added that victims are often pressured into sharing data immediately or asked to verify details via fake bank websites or forms.The cyber police urge citizens to remain cautious and recognize early warning signs such as:Credit card offers received without any formal application.Requests for KYC verification via WhatsApp or phone calls.Sudden mobile network loss despite an active plan.Unauthorized OTPs or transactions from bank accounts.Public Advisory:If you receive such suspicious messages, do not respond or click any links. Report them immediately to the National Cyber Crime Portal (www.cybercrime.gov.in) or contact the local cyber police station.Cyber officials emphasize that awareness is the best defence against such digital frauds — urging Mumbai residents to verify all messages, stay alert, and never share personal information over insecure platforms.— Reported by UnderCover Editor News Agency CyberCrime #MumbaiNews #FakeChallan #SIMSwap #CyberAlert #UnderCoverEditor

CBI Arrests Key Member in Major Cybercrime Racket Targeting Japanese Citizens.

CBI Arrests Key Member in Major Cybercrime Racket Targeting Japanese Citizens. Undercover Editor | Revealing What Matters The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a major accused linked to an international cybercrime syndicate that defrauded Japanese citizens through sophisticated “tech support scams.” The action comes under the ongoing nationwide crackdown, Operation Chakra-V, aimed at dismantling global cybercriminal networks. The arrested individual, identified as Dwibendu Moharana, was detained at Bhubaneswar airport upon his return from the UAE on October 30, 2025. According to CBI officials, Moharana had fled India in May shortly after his illegal call centre in Noida — operating under the name VoIP Connect Private Limited — was raided by the agency. Investigations revealed that Moharana and his associates posed as technical support executives from reputed multinational companies, deceiving Japanese victims into making payments for fake services. The CBI stated that the racket used advanced social engineering tactics to manipulate targets and extract money under false pretences. Earlier this year, on May 28, coordinated raids across Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh led to the arrest of six operatives and the shutdown of two fake call centres. Those previously arrested include Ashu Singh (Delhi), Kapil Ghakhar (Panipat), Rohit Maurya (Ayodhya), Shubham Jaiswal, Vivek Raj, and Adarsh Kumar (Varanasi). After being brought to Delhi on a transit warrant, Moharana was produced before a special court and remanded to CBI custody for three days. The agency has now arrested seven accused in total and filed chargesheets against all of them. The CBI confirmed that the operation was conducted in close coordination with the National Police Agency of Japan and Microsoft Corporation, significantly disrupting one of the most active cybercrime networks targeting Japanese nationals.
