Mumbai, Dec 3: With the new Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in power,  NCP President  Sharad Pawar and veteran Congressman Digvijaya Singh have favoured reopening of the case involving the mysterious death of Judge BH Loya. 

With the Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress government headed by Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray coming into power in Maharashtra, several old cases are being reexamined.

At the time of his death on December 1, 2014, Judge Loya was hearing the Sohrabuddin Sheikh encounter case, in which now BJP President and Union Home Minister Amit Shah was an accused.

Shah,  whose role as Minister of State for Home in the Gujarat government, had come under scanner, was discharged in the case.

"If there is something in it [the demands], then maybe a re-investigation should be done,” Pawar, the architect of MVA,  told a news channel.  ".....Now that we have a non-BJP government in Maharashtra why can't the government set up a SIT who can investigate under the directions of an Independent Judicial Commission which the Govt can set up in a certain time frame," tweeted Singh.

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.
