Worried about fuel price hike: Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi
Panaji, June 3 : The government is worried about the rising fuel prices, Union Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said here on Sunday.
"Along with the people, even we are worried when the price of petrol, diesel, LPG, increases. When our party was in the opposition, we had opposed any hike in petroleum because the price of the crude oil was very low in the world market.
"As far as the current hike is concerned, the Petroleum Minister has clearly said we are working in that direction (to ease it) and that it is a worry," he said in response to a question from the media here.
Naqvi was in Goa as part of the ruling BJP's 'Transforming India' campaign under which senior leaders have fanned out across India to amplify the achievements of four years of the Modi government.

Bengaluru: Four arrested for using students' bank accounts in online fraud scheme
Bengaluru: The Bengaluru Southeast Division CEN police have arrested four individuals in connection with an online investment scam that exploited students' bank accounts for fraudulent activities.
The accused, identified as Abhay Daan Charan (19), Aravind Kumar (19), Pawan Bishnoi (18), and Sawai Singh (21), hail from Rajasthan. They allegedly lured the public by offering part-time jobs involving online ratings with promises of high returns. Initially, they provided small profits to gain trust, but later convinced victims to invest in online platforms, only to siphon off their money.
One victim, who lost ₹12.43 lakh to the scam, filed a complaint with the Southeast Division CEN police. Investigations revealed that the accused had opened multiple bank accounts under the names of students to carry out their fraudulent activities.
Based on the leads, two of the accused were apprehended from Udaipur, Rajasthan, while the remaining two were arrested from a paying guest accommodation in Bommanahalli, Bengaluru.
The police seized 19 mobile phones, 2 laptops, 20 SIM cards, 34 bank passbooks, 106 credit and debit cards, 39 cheque books, and ₹75,000 in cash from the accused. These items were used in executing the fraud.
Further investigation is underway.
