Couple in Kanpur scams elderly people of ₹35 crore promising age reversal
Kanpur: In a shocking case from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, a couple has allegedly defrauded numerous elderly individuals out of ₹35 crore by claiming to possess an "Israel-made time machine" that could reverse aging. Rajeev Kumar Dubey and his wife, Rashmi Dubey, established a therapy center called Revival World in the Kidwai Nagar area, asserting that a machine from Israel could transform a 60-year-old into a 25-year-old.
Renu Singh, one of the victims, filed a police complaint alleging that she was cheated out of ₹10.75 lakh and stated that hundreds of others were also deceived, leading to a total loss of around ₹35 crore. Following her complaint, authorities have registered a case against the couple under section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for cheating and have launched a search for them. There are suspicions that the Dubeys may have fled the country to evade capture
According to police reports, the Dubeys promoted the concept of "oxygen therapy," claiming it could rejuvenate the elderly, who they said were aging prematurely due to polluted air. Senior police official Anjali Vishwakarma stated that the couple offered packages costing ₹6,000 for ten sessions and ₹90,000 for a three-year membership.

Congress voices concern over safety of minorities in Bangladesh
New Delhi (PTI): The Congress on Wednesday expressed deep concern over the "atmosphere of insecurity" being faced by religious minorities in Bangladesh and the arrest of Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das.
In a statement, Chairman of the party's Media and Publicity Department Pawan Khera said, "The Indian National Congress expects the government of India to prevail upon the Bangladesh government to take necessary steps and ensure security of life and property of minorities in the country".
"The Indian National Congress expresses its deep concern at the atmosphere of insecurity being faced by religious minorities in Bangladesh. The arrest of the ISCKON monk is the latest example," he said.
A lawyer was killed on Tuesday during clashes between security personnel and followers of Das, who was denied bail and sent to jail by a court in the port city of Chattogram in Bangladesh in a sedition case.
Das, the spokesperson for Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote, was arrested from the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka a day earlier.
India on Tuesday noted with "deep concern" the arrest and denial of bail to the Hindu leader, and urged authorities in the neighbouring country to ensure the safety and security of Hindus and all other minority groups.
Bangladesh reacted sharply to the Ministry of External Affairs statement, saying it was unfounded and stood contrary to the spirit of friendship between the two countries.
In its statement, Dhaka said it does not interfere with the country's judiciary, which is fully independent
