New Delhi: A Delhi court has remanded Javed Ahmed Siddiqui, Chairman of Al-Falah University, to 13 days of Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody.

New Delhi: Cybercriminals have devised a new, cunning method of online fraud that can trap unsuspecting victims. They request a very small payment—sometimes as little as ₹2—under the pretext of processing a delayed delivery. However, once the victim pays, the scammers gain access to bank details and drain accounts of lakhs of rupees. How the Scam Works According to police sources, the fraud begins with a seemingly innocuous request. The victim is asked to pay a minimal amount, which they typically consider harmless. Once the payment is made, the scammer uses the opportunity to access the victim’s phone or online accounts, eventually transferring large sums from the bank. Case from New Delhi A recent case involved a 50-year-old man from Odisha, residing in New Delhi’s Prithviraj...

New Delhi: Security agencies in Delhi are on high alert after bomb threats were reported targeting three district courts and two schools in the national capital. The threats were conveyed through an email allegedly from the terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). According to sources, the email warned of potential attacks at the courts and schools. The threat prompted immediate action from Delhi Police and other security agencies. Intensive searches were conducted, especially at the Tis Hazari Court, with security tightened across all affected locations. However, preliminary investigations suggest that the threat may be fake. No suspicious objects were found at any of the targeted sites. The bomb threat was reportedly received early Tuesday morning at two CRPF-run schools i...

New Delhi:The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has intensified its action in the Red Fort car blast case, tightening its noose around the Al Falah Trust.

Four days have passed since the blast near Delhi’s Red Fort, yet the area remains eerily silent. The Old Lajpat Rai Market, located right opposite the historic Red Fort and usually bustling with thousands of shoppers daily, continues to remain shut. Most shops, except for a few small roadside stalls, have their shutters down and locks in place, according to local traders. While the narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk are slowly regaining their usual vibrancy, with crowds at clothing and food outlets and traffic picking up on the streets, the situation at Old Lajpat Rai Market paints a contrasting picture. The market remains closed due to the shutdown of the Red Fort metro station and the main road leading to the monument. Traders have reported that cash, laptops, lunch boxes, and other essent...
