Meerut, Aug 3: Controversial VHP leader Sadhvi Prachi claimed on Saturday that "something major" is about to happen in the country and preparations are underway to hoist the tricolour in Kashmir on August 15.

"There is a big reason why the Amarnath Yatra has been stopped. The reason is that preparations are underway to unfurl the tricolour across the Kashmir Valley on Independence Day," she told news persons here.

Prachi also claimed that Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will soon put SP leader Azam Khan behind bars.

She hailed the BJP's decision to expel MLA Kuldeep Sengar, who is accused of raping a minor in 2017, saying strict action should be taken against such people.

Sengar, who is in prison, has also been booked for murder following an accident in which the rape survivor and her lawyer sustained critically injuries and two of her aunts died.

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.
