All of a sudden, NIA discovers Purohit's secret letter' against right-wing terror

April 27, 2016

New Delhi, Apr 27: In a fresh twist to the right-wing terror case saga, a 'secret' letter purportedly written by 2008 Malegaon blast accused Lt Colonel Srikant Purohit on October 15, 2008 has fallen into the hands of NIA Investigator. In this, Purohit ironically red flags the emergence of rightwing radical groups to his superiors in Army's Military intelligence wing, warning that this trend could even lead to "communal clashes".

The letter, which has been accessed by ET, was sent a couple of weeks after the second Malegaon blasts. Here Purohit refers to "An A-2 source", who has "provided some valuable information with regard to the right-wing activities in Maharashtra and Gujarat."

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) said the matter is still under probe but senior officials of the agency believe that the 'input' may have been generated as an "afterthought".

Purohit was arrested by Maharashtra ATS on November 5, 2008 and chargesheeted subsequently along with Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and nine others. In a twopage letter, Purohit also names senior RSS leader Indresh Kumar and says 'he has established sufficient influence over cadres of ABVP and ex-ABVP radical cadres." Indresh had denied all the allegations.

Under the head 'assessment', Purohit tries to mitigate the damage to RSS and writes, "Subversion in an organization like RSS would facilitate actions like one which took place in Gujarat/Malegaon and would further lead to communal clashes which would in turn facilitate fifth columnist, SIMI/IM activists and supporters to go all out in action oriented activities. It may lead to many separatist movements and blame would go onto organization like RSS."

It further states, "One of such associates( of Indresh)—MrPJoshiwasassassinated in Dewas on 29-30, 2007 by unidentified killers. This individual was supposedly involved in the crude bomb blast in Ajmer Sharif Shrine. When he died/was killed, a ticket to Gujarat was foundonhisbody. Theotherpersonwho is operating in that area is one lady by name of Pragya Singh.

‘Profit’ trap: Mangaluru trader duped of ₹33.1 lakh in online App scam

News Network

December 7,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
