Begged for help but Smriti did not stop: Daughter of doctor killed in pile-up

March 7, 2016

New Delhi, Mar 7: Despite Smriti Irani's claims that she had helped the victims of a pile-up at Yamuna Expressway last week, the daughter of a doctor killed in the accident today contradicted the Union minister's version of the story.

"Smriti Irani's convoy rammed into our car. She came out. I begged her for help but she left," Dr Ramesh Nagar's daughter Sandili said.

Sandili's brother, Abhishek, also backed that allegation. "My sister literally pleaded with folded hands to Smriti Irani for help, but she did not stop," he said.

The statements by the two survivors of the tragedy contradict Irani's claims made through a series of tweets of helping the victims. "Tried to help the injured who were lying on the road for quiet sometime and ensured they reach a hospital. Pray for their safety," she had tweeted late on Saturday night.

"There was a pile up of vehicles due to an accident on the expressway. Unfortunately the police vehicle before mine & my car also crashed," she narrated the incident, assuring her well-wishers that she was unhurt.

"For all enquiring re my accident- I'm fine. Thank you for the concern and wishes," she said.

Irani, along with other Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, was returning to New Delhi from a meeting of the party's youth wing in Uttar Pradesh's Vrindavan town near Mathura.

I fear the honest indians who vote such politicians to think before YOU give your valuable votes.. Almost most of the Sanghi leaders are openly Lying to the PUBLIC without hesitation and YOU expect them to SAVE U ... Its impossible..if they are involved in continues LIES then dont expect them to be saviour of your religion... NOTE this and dont fall trap to their Crocodile cry for religious sentiments... its only FEKU ... There is a evil agenda of Sangha to bring back DEVADASIS and SATI and rule over U.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.

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.
