The police have so far managed to nab four of the accused, including one woman, who have been identified as Gurjant Singh (31), <keyword id="531011" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="navjot-singh" source="Orion">Navjot Singh</keyword> (30), Satpal Singh (28) and <keyword id="258701" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="gurpreet-kaur" source="Orion">Gurpreet Kaur</keyword> (30). Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara), R. Sathiyasundaram, said a PCR call was received at around 6 p.m. on Sunday, informing that around 15 'Income Tax officials' have conducted a raid without the police and seized the mobile phones of all the family members. When the the complainant asked the accused to show a search warrant, the accused threatened the victims by saying that they had guns. "The accused then started to open the cupboards, beds etc. on the ground floor and the first floor. Some of them even molested the complainant," the <keyword id="59859" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="dcp" source="Orion">DCP</keyword> said. The accused snatched the mobile phones of the family members, along with a hand bag containing one gold ornament and Rs 15,000 in cash, and fled from the spot. However, as the house occupants were shouting during the commotion, the neighbours heard their cries and informed the police. The police were able to nab four persons, while the rest of the accused fled from the spot. One Bolero car and ID cards of <keyword id="14367930" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="anti-corruption-foundation" source="Orion">Anti Corruption Foundation</keyword> of India were also recovered by the police. A search to nab the other accused is currently underway, the officer said.

Delhi cops nab Special 26-like scamsters who pose as Income Tax officials

The 35-year-old advocate has become the latest victim of what is being labelled as a <keyword id="6427652" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="sim" source="Orion">SIM</keyword> swap scam, raising concerns across the country. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="First, what happened" comment="subhead" text="First, what happened">First, what happened</cmsannotation> The victim has claimed that she received three missed calls from an unknown number. Then, she called the person from another number and the caller claimed that it was a courier delivery call. The victim then shared her address with the caller. After this, she received two messages revealing that 50 lakh were debited from her account. As per the victim, she did not share any OTP or banking details with the scammer. Investigators have found that there were several debits from the victim’s account without her knowledge. During the investigation, the police uncovered “unusual” web browsing history on the victim’s phone. Several websites and portals that the victim had not visited were noticed on her phone’s history. Additionally, the cops found a suspicious message about UPI registration as well. “The woman in her complaint has also said that she received a call after the scam from a man, who portrayed himself as an IFSO officer, seeking her bank statement. Luckily, she didn’t share any details with him,” the officer said. IFSO is the Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) Unit of the Delhi Police. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="SIM Swap scam" comment="subhead" text="SIM Swap scam">SIM Swap scam</cmsannotation> The investigation has so far led the cops to believe that this is another instance of a SIM swap scam. Earlier this year, a businessman from Kolkata had<a href="https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/news/story/kolkata-businessman-loses-rs-72-lakh-in-sim-swap-fraud-two-arrested-heres-how-you-can-stay-safe-2357387-2023-04-08"> lost</a> ₹72 lakh in a similar fraud. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What is a SIM Swap scam?" comment="subhead" text="What is a SIM Swap scam?">What is a SIM Swap scam?</cmsannotation> As the name suggests, a SIM swap scam basically involves the scammer getting access to your SIM, either with the help of someone at the mobile service provider or through other means. The scammer often convinces the network provider to activate a SIM card they possess, gaining control of the victim’s phone number. This allows the scammer to gain access to all calls and text messages that the victim may receive, which is important in this day and age where all accounts are linked to your phone number. Once the scammer gets access to the victim’s phone number, they use it to gain access to their bank account and steal money. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="How to protect yourself from SIM swap scam" comment="subhead" text="How to protect yourself from SIM swap scam">How to protect yourself from SIM swap scam</cmsannotation> While there’s a lot more that is needed to learn about SIM swap scam, here are some things that you can do – <ul><li>If your SIM stops working, immediately inform the telecom operator.</li><li>Make use of a SIM lock, which prevents your SIM from being used on another smartphone without entering a password.</li><li>Avoid sharing personal information online, especially things which can make it easier to crack your passwords.</li><li>Keep a track of your accounts and report any unauthorised transactions.</li></ul>SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/sports/webstories/fastest-centuries-in-icc-odi-world-cup-history/slidelist/104720578.cms">Glenn Maxwell to Rohit Sharma – The fastest centuries in World Cup history</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/news/best-smartphones-under-rs-50000-in-india-oneplus-apple-and-google-phones-also-in-the-list/slidelist/104699569.cms">From Pixel 7 to iPhone 13 – best smartphones under ₹50,000 in India</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/crossbeats-nexus-smartwatch-with-chatgpt-integration-announced-in-india/articleshow/104725233.cms">Now a smartwatch with ChatGPT integration gets set to hit Indian markets</a>

Vihaan, 17, and Nav Agarwal, 14, are two brothers from Delhi, who are committed to reducing pollution, at a time when the eyes of the world are on the <keyword id="12464952" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cop26-climate-change-conference" source="Orion">COP26 Climate Change Conference</keyword>. The three finalists have been shortlisted by a panel of experts from over 169 nominees from 39 countries, reflecting the impact and significance of a global recognition that offers the winner a worldwide platform of hundreds of millions to promote their work. Announcing the finalists, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, patron of the ICP Prize said: "This year's finalists are worthy of any in my 13 years as Patron of the <keyword id="3864305" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="international-childrens-peace-prize" source="Orion">International Children's Peace Prize</keyword>, the world's definitive youth prize with so many famous previous winners.

The hybrid ceremony will take place on November 13 in the Hall of Knights in The Hague, and livestreamed so that the winner's message can reach a global audience. Each year the prize has been awarded by a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and in 2021 Kailash Satyarthi, the 2014 recipient, will declare the winner of the Nkosi statuette along with a study and care grant for him or her to obtain an education. The recipient will also receive a project fund of 100,000 euros, half of which will go to the winner's theme, with half invested by KidsRights in other projects of other young changemakers fighting for children's rights. The International Children's Peace Prize was launched in 2005 during the World Summit of Nobel Peace laureates in Rome, chaired by Mikhail Gorbachev. It is awarded annually to a child who has made a significant contribution to advocating children's rights and improving the situation of vulnerable children such as orphans, child labourers and children with HIV/AIDS. The prize is an initiative of Marc Dullaert, Founder and Chairman of the KidsRights Foundation, an international children's rights organisation based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
