New Delhi, April 21: The central government has invited suggestions for architectural and interiors designs for a proposed museum dedicated to the Prime Ministers of India, with the winner getting Rs 10,000.

"We envision a state-of-the-art structure reflective of India's current progressive temperament, as also its long and rich tradition. The museum will be curated in India's capital; consequently, the edifice should equally compliment the historical cityscape of Delhi," a post on www.mygov.in said. 

But these factors need not be a "limiting factor" for the design ideas. The last date for submission of suggestions is April 29. 

The government is looking for a futuristic approach to the building design by adopting sustainable and energy conservation practices, the post said and added that the building should be "technology oriented", "user friendly", and capable of meeting future needs. 

"Between 15,000 and 20,000 square metres of floor space is our requirement. The best suggestion/idea will get a cash prize of Rs 10,000," the post said.

Bengaluru, Dec 26: A Japanese national, Hiroshi Sasaki, who works in Bengaluru, lost Rs 35.5 lakh after being 'digitally arrested' by cyber fraudsters, police said, on Thursday.

 

The incident occurred between December 12 and 14, police added.

Sasaki, who lives in a flat near Dairy Circle, received a phone call on December 12. The caller was claiming to be from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. The caller informed him that his phone number would be blocked due to its unauthorised use.

To avoid the disconnection Sasaki was asked to dial a number.

Upon dialling the number, he was immediately connected to a WhatsApp call from someone claiming to be from the Cyber Crime wing of Mumbai Police. The caller informed Sasaki that he was involved in a money laundering case.

The fraudsters "digitally arrested" him and siphoned off Rs 35.5 lakh by having him make payments through various means, including RTGS.

He was also told that the money would be returned after the investigation was completed.

After realising that he had been duped, the victim approached the South East Cyber Crimes, Economics and Narcotics (CEN) police station and lodged a complaint.

'Digital arrest' is a new cyber fraud, where the fraudster poses as law enforcement agency officials from agencies like CBI, and customs and threatens people of arrest by making video calls.
