Serial offender held for breaking into Aruna’s house
Hyderabad: Hyderabad police have arrested Mohammed Akram, 48, a habitual offender with a history of house break-ins especially in Delhi, for illegally entering the residence of BJP MP D.K. Aruna in Jubilee Hills. Akram, who has a criminal record spanning Delhi and northeastern states, was apprehended near his house in Amanagar at around 10 am on Tuesday, west zone DCP S.M. Vijay Kumar said.
A special team of eight police personnel tracked Akram down by analysing CCTV footage from the MP’s residence and cross-referencing state and national crime records. Akram, a resident of Talabkatta and originally from Uttarakhand, has been involved in over 24 serious offences.
During interrogation, he claimed he was unaware that the house belonged to an MP. He had entered the premises intending to commit theft but became disoriented due to the house's size. Upon assuming he had been spotted by domestic staff on the third floor, he fled the scene. Police recovered several items he left behind at the crime scene, including a cap, hammer, screwdriver, cutter, locks, a bunch of keys, a mobile phone, a pair of shoes and his clothes, the DCP said.
Malkajgiri man loses Rs.8 L in stock trading scam
Hyderabad: A private company employee from Malkajgiri lost Rs.8 lakh in a stock trading scam after being lured by an social media advertisement offering trading tips. The victim, who came across the ad in late January, was drawn into a fraudulent scheme that wiped out his savings.
After clicking on the ad, he was added to a social messaging group where scammers provided what they called stock trading tips. Initially, they advised him to trade using his own demat account, making it seem like a legitimate opportunity. As his trust grew, they convinced him to open an "advanced broker account" for block trading, claiming it would yield higher returns.
Encouraged by initial profits, he deposited Rs.50,000 in February and continued trading. Seeing returns, he invested larger amounts, hoping for bigger gains. However, once he had made significant deposits, he found himself unable to withdraw any money. Attempts to contact the scammers went unanswered.
Realising he had been defrauded, he filed a complaint with the cybercrime police.
