A ₹590-crore financial fraud was detected at IDFC First Bank’s Chandigarh branch involving unauthorized transactions in Haryana government-linked accounts.

Investigations revealed it was an inside job orchestrated by former branch officials who diverted government funds into private shell companies and fake fixed deposits.

Here are the key details of the incident:

The Modus Operandi: The mastermind, former branch manager Ribhav Rishi and related bank insiders fabricated offer letters and manipulated banking records (fake debit memos and forged cheques) to divert funds deposited by Haryana government departments. The funds were then laundered through shell companies, jewellers, and real estate agents.

Action Taken by the Bank: IDFC First Bank repaid 100% of the principal amount claimed by the concerned government departments to protect public funds. The bank appointed KPMG to conduct a forensic audit and suspended the implicated branch employees.

Arrests and Probe: The investigation is currently led by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Haryana Anti-Corruption Bureau. Over 20 individuals, including bank executives, private businessmen, and suspended government/IAS officials, have been arrested.

Market Impact: The discovery of the scam wiped out over ₹14,000 crore in the bank’s market value in a single trading session, as the missing amount exceeded the bank’s quarterly earnings at the time.

Defrauded of ₹23 crore in one of India’s most massive “digital arrest” scams.

A 78-year-old retired banker, Naresh Malhotra from South Delhi’s Gulmohar Park, was defrauded of ₹23 crore in one of India’s most massive “digital arrest” scams.

He was confined to his home and psychologically manipulated by cybercriminals for over a month.

How the Scam Unfolded:

The Setup: In August, the victim received a call from a woman claiming to be a telecom official, alleging his landline was used for illegal activities. The call was transferred to individuals impersonating Mumbai Police, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), and the CBI.

The Threat: Fraudsters convinced him his Aadhaar card was linked to terror funding, narcotics, and the Pulwama terror attack.

Digital Arrest: The scammers virtually confined him to his flat, requiring him to log every daily activity, including meal times, and threatening him with dire consequences if he contacted family.

The Extortion: He was coerced into liquidating his equity shares and making over 4,000 micro-transactions, eventually transferring ₹22.92 crore to various bank accounts.

A law student noticed that food delivery apps were charging separate “packaging fees” on online food orders.

He challenged the practice before the consumer court.
In one case, the consumer court held it was unfair trade practice of packaging charges on Zomato orders.

The court observed that it is the seller’s responsibility to ensure food is delivered in proper condition and consumers should not be forced to bear packaging expenses separately.

Another major case involved Swiggy, Kwality Walls and Sindhi Sweets before the Chandigarh State Consumer Commission.

The Commission found that consumers were being charged extra amounts, including separate packaging fees, despite products already being sold in packed condition. The court observed that such charges effectively shifted operating costs onto consumers and amounted to unfair trade practice.

Even Haldiram later faced ex*****on proceedings and a non-bailable warrant in a packaging charges dispute after alleged non-compliance with a consumer commission order.

Still paying ₹40-₹60 extra on every food order?

The landmark Rs 6,000-crore Heera Group Ponzi scam serves as a primary example of fraud within the context of Muslim law in India.

Here is a breakdown of that case and how fraud intersects with Muslim Law:

1. The Nowhera Shaik / Heera Group Scam (Ponzi Fraud)The Scam: Hyderabad-based businesswoman Nowhera Shaik masterminded a massive financial fraud scheme, collecting around Rs 6,000 crore from nearly 2 lakh investors across India.

Exploitation of Faith: The perpetrators explicitly targeted the Muslim community by promising “Halal” and Sharia-compliant investments, as Sharia strictly prohibits earning interest (Riba) on conventional investments. Victims were lured with promises of up to 36% annual returns.

Current Status: After jumping bail and attempting to delay auctions ordered by the Supreme Court, Nowhera Shaik was tracked down and arrested in Gurugram by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and state police. Authorities are actively confiscating and auctioning off her assets to restitute defrauded victims.

On 18 June 2025, Akash Sharma visited M/ s Garden Grills 2.0, Faridabad, with friends for dinner.

According to the complaint, restaurant staff allegedly refused to provide free drinking water and insisted that customers purchase bottled water instead.

Sharma claimed he was forced to buy 2 Dasani water bottles for ₹40 despite requesting complimentary drinking water.

He later approached the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Faridabad.

In its order dated 05.12.2025, the Consumer Commission held the restaurant guilty of deficiency in service and directed: Refund of ₹40 + 73,000 compensation for mental agony and harassment.

Courts and consumer commissions have repeatedly observed that restaurants are expected to provide safe drinking water to customers. Bottled water may be sold separately, but consumers cannot be compelled to purchase it.

Man loses ₹2.47 lakh to fake courier message scam🤯🤯

A 36-year-old resident of Secunderabad was duped of ₹2.47 lakh after receiving a deceptive text message purportedly from DTDC courier, claiming that a second delivery attempt for a parcel had failed.

Believing the message to be genuine, as he was awaiting the delivery of his vehicle’s registration certificate, he clicked on the link provided in the message. Moments later, his phone froze and multiple one-time password (OTP) messages began appearing. Within minutes, he received alerts from his bank informing him that around ₹2.47 lakh had been spent on his credit card without his authorisation.

Realising he had been duped, the victim locked his credit card through the banking app and contacted Kotak Bank’s helpline to block the card and lodge a formal complaint.

Cybercrime officials have urged citizens to remain cautious of such scams, which often masquerade as courier or delivery updates to trick unsuspecting individuals into clicking malicious links that compromise personal and banking data.

Victims of cyber frauds are advised to report incidents immediately via the national cybercrime helpline 1930 or through www.cybercrime.gov.in. For urgent assistance, citizens can also call or WhatsApp 8712665171.
