New Delhi: The evolution of technology has helped us in a massive way, and the news we are about to narrate once again shows its effectiveness in today's world.
In South Mumbai, a 79-year-old woman suddenly disappeared during an evening walk. As can be guessed, the incident left her family immensely worried. But such is the boon of technology that they were able to trace her thanks to a GPS tracker that her grandson put in her necklace.
On December 3, Saira Bi Tajuddin Mulla was hit by a two-wheeler in the Sewree area, and she sustained a head injury. According to reports, some pedestrians took her to a hospital in Parel for treatment. Meanwhile, her family members panicked at her apparent disappearence.
However, it was revealed that her grandson, Mohammed Wasim Ayub Mulla, had fitted a GPS device in her necklace and activated it. It allowed her family members to track her location, and they rushed to the hospital. Mulla is reportedly responding to treatment.
Meanwhile, a gang of former clean-up marshals in Mumbai's bustling Dharavi slum allegedly orchestrated a year-long extortion racket, masquerading as BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) officials to shake down small industrial units.
Their modus operandi involved threatening shopkeepers with fabricated child labour cases, ultimately netting an estimated Rs 80,000 in a single day last October alone. The elaborate scheme, however, crumbled when savvy local businessmen demanded to see their official identification.
