Lucknow, Nov. 12 -- Two men who allegedly tricked elderly women into handing over their jewellery using a fake "police-check" story were arrested by the Krishna Nagar police on Tuesday. The duo used a deceptive handkerchief-swap trick to steal ornaments and flee before victims realised they had been conned, said police. "The accused have been identified as Imran alias Munna (25), son of Jameel Ahmed, resident of Shahpur Bhamrauli Phatak under Dubagga police limits, and Kallu alias Raju (25), resident of Krishna Vihar. They were arrested from the Gangakheda railway underpass on Tuesday morning," said DCP West Nipun Agarwal. According to the DCP, the accused would roam around neighbourhoods on a scooter under the guise of scrap dealers. After spotting elderly women walking alone, they would approach them and warn about "police checking" ahead, advising them to remove their jewellery for safety. The victims were told to wrap their ornaments in a handkerchief for protection. The duo would then cleverly swap it with another similar-looking handkerchief and flee with the real one. "They changed multiple sets of clothes before and after the act to avoid identification through CCTV cameras," said ADCP South Vasanth Rallapalli. Thakurganj police here on Tuesday arrested a man accused of killing his 51-year-old tenant following a dispute over vacating his house. According to police, on November 6, Sarita Devi was allegedly attacked by Phoolchand (50) and his family during an argument over vacating the house. "Sarita Devi, who was admitted to the Trauma Centre, succumbed to her injuries on November 9. Following her death, police modified the charges to culpable homicide," read a police statement. UP STF arrested a criminal wanted in murder case and who had a reward of Rs.50,000 on him from Charbagh railway station here on Tuesday morning.

A businessman from Aliganj allegedly lost around Rs.20 lakh to cyber fraudsters who had promised him a petrol pump dealership, police said on Tuesday. The complainant, Ambika Pratap Singh of Sector-K in Aliganj, told police that he had searched online for dealership opportunities and came across a website jiobpromlbpdealership.in. After submitting the documents, Singh was asked to pay various processing charges and other fees to finalise the dealership. Believing the communication to be genuine, he first transferred Rs.5,000 online and later sent Rs.19.83 lakh through RTGS to an bank account provided by the fraudsters. Singh said he remained in constant touch with the scammers via WhatsApp and phone calls until they suddenly stopped responding. "When I contacted the bank, I was told that the account belonged to someone in Jalaun district. The phone number of the contact person was later found switched off," he told police....
