  • Delhi BJP Chief Admitted To Hospital Days After Taking Dip In ‘Toxic’ Yamuna |

    Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva was admitted to the RML Nursing Home on Saturday with complaints of itching and breathing difficulties, two days after he took a dip in the heavily-polluted Yamuna to highlight the alleged failure of the AAP government to clean the river.

    On Thursday, Sachdeva took a dip in the Yamuna at the Chhath Ghat and slammed former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for his “failure” to fulfil his promise to clean the river by 2025.

    After taking the dip, Sachdeva faced skin rashes and slight discomfort in breathing for which he was examined at the RML Hospital where the doctors prescribed him medicines for three days.
    However, on Saturday morning, the BJP leader was admitted to the RML Nursing Home after he complained of itching and breathlessness.

    He doesn’t have any past history of similar problems, Delhi BJP media cell said in a statement.

    Wishing Sachdeva a speedy recovery, senior AAP leader and Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai said that BJP leaders should now realise that their “theatrics” will not clean the river.

    On Thursday, Sachdeva “apologised” to Yamuna for the AAP government’s “failure” in cleaning its water, promising to form a separate authority for its rejuvenation if the BJP wins the Assembly elections scheduled in Delhi next year.

    The politics over Yamuna intensified in Delhi after a layer of toxic froth appeared on the river surface due to heavy contents of pollutants, leading to a squabble between the ruling AAP and the opposition BJP.

    The war of words has become even more intense in view of the upcoming Chhath festival that is widely celebrated in Delhi-NCR by the Purvanchali people.

    Before the imposition of a ban, a large number of women used to gather along the banks of Yamuna during Chhath to worship the Sun god in knee-deep waters of the river.

    The AAP leaders have been claiming that the toxic froth in Yamuna at Kalindikunj has been caused by the release of millions of gallons of untreated industrial waste-water into the river from drains in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, both BJP-ruled states.

    How Scammers Operate?

    Clicking on these fake links redirects users to web pages that mimic real bank websites, prompting them to enter their account numbers and passwords.

    Scammers then exploit this information for fraudulent transactions. Even if users have Two-Factor Authentication enabled, scammers may impersonate bank employees to request additional verification codes.

    Protecting Yourself

    To safeguard against such scams, individuals are advised to scrutinize any messages received from unknown numbers or containing links to bank websites.

    Paying attention to spelling mistakes or special characters in URLs can help identify fraudulent links. If in doubt, users are encouraged to search for the bank’s official website on Google and cross-check the URL.

    Remain Vigilant

    As online scams continue to evolve, users need to remain vigilant and exercise caution when interacting with messages or links from unfamiliar sources. By following these precautions, individuals can better protect themselves against falling victim to online fraud.

  • Bihar Youth Stages Own Kidnapping In Delhi To Avoid Going To Leh For Work |

    A 19-year-old youth allegedly tried to stage his fake kidnapping as he did not want to accompany his friends to Leh for work, police said on Wednesday.
    The police acted on a complaint filed on social media by his friend and traced the youth from Keshopur Sabzi Mandi area here, they added.

    The police said that Suraj, along with his friends Vimlesh Shah and Golu, came to Delhi from Champaran in Bihar.

    “Suraj told police that he along with his friends was going to Leh as they heard about higher wages there,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Railways) KPS Malhotra.

    The group was about to leave for Leh from New Delhi railway station, Malhotra said.

    “Suraj got scared when his friends Golu and Vimlesh Shah started discussing about the freezing weather of Leh. So he slipped away by giving an excuse to attend nature’s call,” the DCP said.

    The youth then reached Keshopur Mandi and texted his brother that he has been kidnapped. He then asked him to send Rs 5,000 as ransom to get him released, he said.

    Suraj’s brother then called Shah and informed about the messages, he added.

    “Shah immediately informed the police through social media and we contacted him,” the DCP said.

    “We had received a complaint on X in which Delhi Police was tagged. The social media cell forwarded the message to GRP railway for necessary action. A team was immediately formed and a rescue operation was launched after registering an FIR of kidnapping,” the officer said.

    The police said a team traced Suraj from Keshopur Sabzi Mandi area and he is being questioned.

    They added that legal action will be taken upon further probe.
