At least 50 Indian business executives based in New Delhi were tricked into an elaborate extortion set-up, ‘honey trapped’ on LGBT dating app Grindr and then blackmailed with their own intimate, and often embarrassing, photos.
Targeting wealthy individuals in Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, and Ghaziabad, a gang of extortionists sought to bilk everything from cash, laptops, and watches from the corporate bigwigs, among them CEOs. Some 150 people fell victim to the enterprise, not all of them businessmen.

“Around 50 executives of top multinational companies in Delhi-NCR have been duped and robbed,” said Gurugram police commissioner Muhammad Akil, noting that the victims, “fearing social stigma,” were not prepared to take legal action against the culprits, even refusing to make statements to police.

In most cases, after meeting with their hoax ‘dates’ in remote locales under the guise of a romantic rendezvous, the victims were then ambushed, beaten, robbed, and photographed in the nude, with the perpetrators keeping the photos in hopes of extorting additional valuables.

Twitter will be slapped with a fine if it fails to respond to an inquiry into its revealing the identity of the victim in a shocking Hyderabad rape case, the Delhi High Court said, urging the microblogging site to repent.
The court said Wednesday that unless Twitter formally responds to a public interest complaint within the next four weeks, it will be slapped with a fine to the tune of 1 million rupees ($14,000).

The judicial bench that heard the case said it is now waiting for written assurances from the social media giant that it would not make the same blunder again.

The panel, presided by Chief Justice DN Patel, said that it used to impose fines in similar cases before and does not want to do that again. “We do not want to repeat that order,” it said.

It remains to be seen whether Twitter will heed the strongly worded advice until the next hearing, set for May 4.

The accusations against the platform stem from the horrific kidnapping, rape and murder of a 26-year-old veterinarian by four men on the outskirts of Hyderabad last November. The gruesome crime sent shockwaves across India, prompting popular outcry with tens of thousands of people flooding the streets in the aftermath.

The suspected perpetrators were shot dead by police after they were taken to the scene to reconstruct the events leading up to the woman’s death and allegedly attempted to break free.

Their death sparked widespread celebrations across the country, with people hailing the police while thanking them for bringing about swift justice upon the four accused.

印度两年一度的国际车展“新德里国际汽配展（AUTO EXPO）”2月7日在新德里近郊面向普通观众开放。为了改善大气污染情况，印度4月引入了与欧洲同等严格的全新尾气排放限制标准。因此在本次车展上，汽车厂商纷纷展出了纯电动汽车。其中最受关注的是当地大型汽车厂商马辛德拉公司（Mahindra & Mahindra），该公司发布了实际价格不超过150万日元（约合人民币9.52万元）的纯电动版SUV。源自印度的纯电动汽车低价化浪潮可能出现扩散。

“如果算上政府补贴，只需82.5万卢比（约合人民币8.06万元）就能买到”。2月5日，当马辛德拉公司公布了纯电动版SUV的价格后，现场的媒体和相关人士鼓起了掌。该公司的总经理帕万·戈恩卡笑着表示，“（这个价格的话），没理由不买纯电动汽车”。

戈恩卡表示，此次之所以成功将价格定在较低水平，凭借的是“零部件等彻底的本地化”。据称该公司在印度国内生产包括驱动装置在内的主要零部件，大幅降低了生产成本。该公司预定2020年度内发售的纯电动版SUV“eKUV100”1次充电行驶里程约为150公里。约1小时即可充电至8成，有望获取城市地区的居民和网约车服务的需求。
