Malicious ads on social media lure users into fraud: Centre

Malicious ads on social media lure users into fraud: Centre NCTAU warns of financial fraud via malicious apps disguised as porn apps that take control of devices. NEW DELHI: The National Cybercrime Threat Analytics unit (NCTAU), under the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), has warned users of financial fraud through sideloaded malicious Android apps masquerading as porn apps which, when downloaded, take control of users’ devices by abusing accessibility permissions.NCTAU said misleading Facebook and Instagram ads under the names Night Play, Reloop, Kyss, Riva, Vima, Nexo and Vixa were redirecting users to phishing websites featuring pornographic content, with a prompt to download the APK file from outside the Google Play Store. After installation, the app requests permissions that allow it to install additional applications, enabling fraudsters to take control of the device and commit financial fraud. Some apps also install a VPN, which may be used to route internet traffic pertaining to criminal activity. The app may prevent users from uninstalling it through device settings.Advisory asked users to install apps only from Play Store or trusted stores. Bharti Jain is senior editor with The, New Delhi.

Haldwani ‘purification’ row: Day after FIR against Rahul, BJP, Cong trade barbs

Haldwani ‘purification’ row: Day after FIR against Rahul, BJP, Cong trade barbs Haldwani ‘purification’ row: Day after FIR against Rahul, BJP, Cong trade barbs TNN / Sep 01, 2026, 04:00 IST Comments Share AA Text Size Small Medium Large BJP and Congress spar over FIR against Rahul Gandhi after his demand for action over Haldwani rally venue 'purification' remarks. NEW DELHI: The war of words between BJP and Congress escalated Monday as the opposition party slammed the FIR against Rahul Gandhi after he demanded action over "purification" of the Haldwani rally venue as reflective of his rival's "abhorrently casteist behaviour" and BJP saying he was belatedly raking up the issue because of Mallikharjun Kharge's threat to quit as Congress chief.The sparring between the two parties came a day after Uttarakhand Police registered a case against Rahul under various BNS sections, besides SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, after the complainant, a Dalit, alleged he had given a caste angle to the cleaning work coupled with a religious ritual at Ramlila Maidan, the rally venue.Congress released a video with the title "cases are my medals" with Rahul's comments - "There are 36 cases against me. But the truth is if anyone is scared, it is Modi."Senior Congress functionary Sachin Pilot asked if seeking justice is a crime. "Voice for justice cannot be suppressed under the weight of FIRs. The anti-dalit face of BJP stands exposed," he said, referring to Congress's claim that "purification" of the dais happened because Kharge, a Dalit, had addressed a meeting from it. BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said, "Rahul slept for nearly three weeks..." It seems Rahul took it up only after Kharge told him what is the point in staying in Congress when his own issue is not being raised, he added.Uttarakhand CM said people in the state are…

NCLT refers Subhash Chandra repayment plan matter back to President after no majority view

NCLT refers Subhash Chandra repayment plan matter back to President after no majority view - Litigation - 2 min read NCLT refers Subhash Chandra repayment plan matter back to President after no majority view The NCLT said its two-member bench could not pass an order as the judicial and technical members, along with the third member’s view, did not result in a majority position on the repayment plan. The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), New Delhi has made a fresh reference to the president of the tribunal in the insolvency proceedings against Essel Group founder Subhash Chandra after the bench found that no majority view had emerged on the repayment plan proposed for the personal guarantor. The order was passed on August 31 by a bench comprising member (judicial) Ashok Kumar Bhardwaj and member (technical) Reena Sinha Puri in the insolvency proceedings initiated by Indiabulls Housing Finance against Chandra under Section 95 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). The bench was considering a report submitted under sections 112 and 113 of the IBC concerning the repayment plan. The member (technical) had rejected the repayment plan. Meanwhile, the third member approved the plan but took a different view on its effect, holding that the plan would extinguish the claims of all creditors, including banks and financial institutions. The present bench noted that the judicial member and the third member had the same understanding of section 79(2)(g) of the IBC but differed on the manner in which section 115(1) should be applied. According to the order, the judicial member had applied section 115(1) only to creditors who assented to the repayment plan, whereas the third member applied the provision uniformly to all creditors.
