Uttar Pradesh Crime: Lucknow Police Bust Inter-State AI-Powered Exam Fraud Gang; 10 Arrested Including Bank Officer Mastermind

**Lucknow Police Bust Inter-State Solver Gang Using AI Tools to Forge Exam IDs**

Lucknow: In a significant crackdown, the Lucknow Police have dismantled an inter-state solver gang that exploited artificial intelligence tools—such as ChatGPT, Mix Grinder, Gemini AI, and Fotor—to create fake IDs and Aadhaar cards. The gang digitally blended the faces of real candidates and hired solvers, facilitating impersonation during examinations.

**IBPS Exam Triggered Investigation**

The operation came to light following a report from the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) about suspicious activity during its October 5 exam. Police detained one candidate who was found impersonating another, which eventually led to the arrest of 10 people. Among those arrested was Anand Kumar, the gang’s mastermind and Assistant Manager at UP Gramin Bank, posted in Khapraura, Sambhal.

**Gang Earnings and Recovery**

According to DCP South Nipun Agarwal, the gang charged ₹5.2 lakh per candidate for their services, out of which ₹2 lakh went directly to Anand Kumar. Authorities recovered laptops, mobile phones, and numerous forged documents from the accused individuals.

**Involvement of Bank Officers and Solvers**

Further investigations revealed that some gang members, including Sudhanshu Kumar, an officer at UCO Bank, along with other candidates preparing for banking exams, exploited their knowledge of exam patterns to perpetrate the fraud. The AI-generated photos were instrumental in creating realistic fake identity cards, enabling solvers to appear in place of genuine candidates at various Lucknow exam centers.

**Absconding Candidates**

The police are currently tracking two absconding candidates associated with the gang—Yogendra Kumar and Akashdeep.

This case highlights the rising threat of technology-enabled fraud in competitive examinations and the urgent need for tighter security measures.

Manitobans eager to strike gold on world stage

Already making history earlier this year when she became the first woman to win the Marinelli City Singles bowling tournament, Marissa Naylor-McCall is now bolstering her training routine as she prepares to represent Team Canada at the 2025 International Bowling Federation (IBF) World Championships.

Naylor-McCall is one of two Manitobans representing Canada at the adult level, alongside Mitch Hupe. Both bowlers attended the last world championships in Kuwait in 2023, where every Team Canada bowler brought home a medal. It was a record year for Canada.

“We all brought home a medal which hasn’t happened in many years,” said Naylor-McCall.

This will be Naylor-McCall’s fourth year representing Team Canada as an adult and her second World Championships tournament. She spoke highly of her teammate Hupe, a three-time National Bowler of the Year who returns for his 12th adult year.

“(Hupe) has lived and breathed it his whole life,” she said. “He can basically do it all.”

Hupe bowled at Wichita State in college, one of the most renowned bowling programs in North America, boasting 24 Intercollegiate Team Championships between the men’s and women’s programs. Naylor-McCall noted that Hupe was the anchor for Team Canada during the 2023 IBF World Championships, where the men took home gold in the team event for the first time.

“He’s a phenomenal person but an even better bowler,” she said. “He’s a phenom in the bowling community here in Manitoba.”

Hupe bowls on the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour, where Naylor-McCall will be taking her talents beginning next season. Excited for the opportunity, she isn’t letting it distract her from her current goal to win gold in Hong Kong.

“I’m excited for next year, but Hong Kong is definitely the focus for right now,” said Naylor-McCall. “Then we’ll set our eyes on (the PBA tour) next year.”

Team Canada head coach Tyrel Rose, who re-joined the team in late 2023, said the team is eager to fight for their place on the podium.

“There is a bit of a chip on the shoulder,” said Rose. “There’s definitely a bit of a ‘we still want to prove ourselves’ attitude.”

Several countries didn’t participate in the 2023 world championships held in Kuwait for political reasons. Rose added, “I think when you can come in as a world champion and still come in with an underdog mentality, you’re doing something right.”

Rose said he and Naylor-McCall hit the ground running in their professional relationship.

“We kind of hit it off really well as a coach and an athlete,” said Rose. “(Naylor-McCall) is very driven. She works really hard at everything she does, whether it’s her business, bowling, or golf. She’s like a sponge — she just wants all the coaching all of the time.”

He said her leadership is an asset given the women’s team’s lack of experience.

“(Naylor-McCall) brings that kind of professional energy to the team,” said Rose. “To have that leadership — she brings that to the team as if she was a 10-year veteran.”

Rose noted that Hupe, who won a World Masters Gold in 2018, hasn’t lost his touch.

“He’s still grown from there and developed a sense of confidence in himself that he didn’t have five, six, seven years ago,” said Rose. “He really knows what his strengths are and knows how to play to them.”

Rose was an assistant coach for Team Canada from 2009–12, head coached from 2014–18, before taking some time off to spend with his family. He said the connection he shares with his team is invaluable.

“One of the things that’s always driven me is getting to share in this experience with our players,” said Rose. “That kind of emotional connection, the highs and the lows, it’s great.”

Michael Schmidt, executive director of the Manitoba Tenpin Federation, said he expects the two Manitoba veterans to make the province proud in Hong Kong.

“They have experience, they’ve represented Canada numerous times. They know how to get the job done, and I just wish them as much success as possible, to bring home some more gold medals,” said Schmidt.

For Naylor-McCall, bringing home gold in the singles event is high on her priority list. But winning as a team is her biggest wish.

“The ultimate goal always for these events is winning gold in the team event,” she said. “I know on the women’s side we haven’t medalled in the team event for a long time. We just have to trust in the preparation. If we can keep it simple and just do what we do best, I’m sure that getting on the podium will be pretty easy for us.”

The IBF World Championships start in Hong Kong on November 24.

USDA warns that Hello Fresh meals may contain listeria-tainted spinach

Federal Health Officials Warn Against Certain Hello Fresh Meal Kits Over Listeria Concerns

Federal health officials issued a warning late Monday, October 6, 2025, advising consumers not to eat certain Hello Fresh subscription meal kits containing spinach that may be contaminated with listeria bacteria.

The U.S. Agriculture Department released a public health alert for these products, which were produced by FreshRealm, a San Clemente, California-based company linked to an expanding listeria outbreak associated with heat-and-eat pasta meals.

Affected Products

The recalled products include:

– **Hello Fresh Ready Made Meals Cheesy Pulled Pork Pepper Pasta** (10.1-ounce containers), identified by establishment numbers Est. 47718 with lot code 49107 or Est. 2937 with lot code 48840.
– **Hello Fresh Ready Made Meals Unstuffed Peppers with Ground Turkey** (10-ounce containers), identified with Est. P-47718 and lot codes 50069, 50073, or 50698.

Both products were shipped directly to consumers.

Cause of the Recall

FreshRealm alerted the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service after spinach used in these meal kits tested positive for listeria. This discovery is part of a broader investigation linked to an ongoing listeria outbreak.

Background on the Outbreak

Last month, FreshRealm reported that testing confirmed the presence of the same listeria strain in pasta used in linguine dishes sold at Walmart. This outbreak, originally related to chicken fettuccine Alfredo, has resulted in at least four deaths and 20 illnesses, with the most recent case reported on September 11.

Genetic testing revealed the outbreak strain of listeria in samples of pasta made and supplied by Nate’s Fine Foods of Roseville, California. Subsequently, several companies, including Kroger, Giant Eagle, and Albertson’s, have recalled pasta salads and other products made with ingredients from Nate’s Fine Foods due to potential contamination.

Health Risks of Listeria

Listeria infections can cause serious illness, especially among older adults, people with weakened immune systems, pregnant individuals, and newborns. Symptoms to watch for include:

– Fever
– Muscle aches
– Headache
– Stiff neck
– Confusion
– Loss of balance
– Convulsions

According to the CDC, approximately 1,600 people in the U.S. contract listeria infections each year, and about 260 die as a result.

Preventive Measures

In December, federal officials announced plans to revamp protocols aimed at preventing listeria infections following several high-profile outbreaks. One notable outbreak linked to Boar’s Head deli meats caused 10 deaths and more than 60 illnesses last year.

Consumers are advised to stay informed, follow recalls closely, and discard any potentially affected products immediately.

How Wise Capital Is Expanding Efforts

Wise Capital, owned by Chris Wise, is a property technology company that owns and operates Class C multifamily properties.

Chris Wise’s diverse background includes serving in Naval Special Warfare as a Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewman (SWCC), building and scaling a multi-state law firm, and developing an AI-driven sales platform. Now, he is leading innovation in property technology by leveraging custom-built machine learning tools, IoT technology, and predictive maintenance models.

As a multi-hyphenate talent, Chris shares his mission: “My mission is to bring innovation and dignity to a space most investors overlook.” Throughout his career, he has consistently built ventures from the ground up. After serving in Naval Special Warfare, he entered the legal field, became a Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) by age 28, and started his own law firm, scaling it across four states.

That same entrepreneurial and innovative mindset led Chris to real estate, where he recognized an opportunity to combine operations, technology, and social impact. His goal is to attract investors who align with his vision to transform Class C housing and help scale Wise Capital into a $1 billion firm.

Driven by a service-first mindset and intentionality, Chris focuses on creating real change in an industry that desperately needs it. While much of real estate targets luxury properties, Chris concentrates on the properties and people often overlooked by the market.

Chris personally develops the technology behind Wise Capital, including conversational AI for leasing and property management and IoT-enabled door locks. He believes innovation should not be limited to Class A buildings but accessible across the board.

Having walked across multiple industries, Chris applies his relentless approach to every project he undertakes. He collaborates with wealth management companies and accredited investors who are passionate about transforming communities alongside Wise Capital.

Former hostages and their families commemorate Oct. 7 in DC alongside members of Congress

Former hostages and their families gathered in Washington, DC, alongside members of Congress to commemorate the two-year anniversary of Hamas’s October 7 massacre. The event took place at the Sukkah of Hope, serving as a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle faced by hostages and their loved ones.

Multiple White House officials joined the Hostages and Missing Families Forum inside the sukkah to advocate for the release of all 48 remaining hostages. Their presence underscored the continued commitment at the highest levels of government to securing freedom for those still held captive.

The gathering was both a solemn remembrance and a call to action, highlighting the enduring impact of the tragedy and the urgent need for resolutions.

Heather Knight slams her 27th WODI half-century

**WODI World Cup: Heather Knight’s Unbeaten 79 Guides England to Victory Over Bangladesh**

*By Parth Dhall | October 7, 2025 | 10:37 PM*

In a thrilling encounter at the 2025 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup, England secured a hard-fought victory against Bangladesh at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Chasing a target of 179, what seemed like a modest total proved challenging as England faced a middle-order collapse before rallying to victory.

Bangladesh got off to a strong start with Marufa Akter making early breakthroughs, dismissing England’s openers Amy Jones (1) and Tammy Beaumont (2) as the visitors found themselves struggling at 29 for 2. However, England’s Nat Sciver-Brunt and captain Heather Knight steadied the innings, putting together an important 40-run partnership.

The tide turned quickly when Fahima Khatun struck twice in quick succession, removing Sciver-Brunt for 32 and Sophie Dunkley for a duck, leaving England in deep trouble at 78 for 5. It was then left to Heather Knight to single-handedly guide her team to victory.

Knight remained unbeaten on 79 runs off 111 balls, a patient and composed innings featuring 8 fours and a six. Alongside a resilient Charlotte Dean, who supported with an unbeaten 27*, Knight anchored the chase, eventually bringing England home in 46.1 overs.

**Milestone Achievement for Heather Knight**

This impressive knock not only sealed the win but also marked a personal milestone for Heather Knight. She surpassed Claire Taylor’s run tally of 4,101 runs, becoming the fourth-highest run-scorer for England in Women’s ODIs. Knight now boasts 4,116 runs in 151 WODI matches at an average of 35.79, including two centuries and 27 half-centuries.

Only Charlotte Edwards (5,992), Tammy Beaumont (4,562), and Nat Sciver-Brunt (4,124) sit ahead of her on England’s all-time WODI run-scoring list.

England will look to build on this hard-earned victory as the tournament progresses, while Bangladesh can take heart from a spirited bowling effort and early breakthroughs that challenged a strong English batting line-up.

The Us@250 Experience

Pride. Reckoning. Aspiration.

As an American, you can experience all of these feelings at the same time: holding pride in our progress, reckoning with our problematic past, and aspiring for a better future.

This is at the heart of New America’s Us@250 initiative—an effort to deepen our understanding of national identity by expanding the American narrative to include the rich, complex histories of all of us.

Ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026, join New America this fall for robust conversations on these themes with policymakers, visual artists, community organizers, and more.

Together, we’ll explore the truths and contradictions about ourselves and our country through poetry, film, comedy, story, and music.

We’ll also ask big questions: Given the nation’s history, who might we become if we truly live up to its founding ideals? Who belongs here, and who will be welcome? And how can we make the promise of America available to all?

Why the psychology of ‘utang’ matters for the economy

MANILA, Philippines – Debt or “utang” is not just a financial tool anymore. It has become the lifeline that keeps many Filipino families afloat.

With consumer spending making up about 70 percent of the economy, every peso that is spent helps keep the economy moving. When households continue to buy, businesses thrive. However, when they cut back, the effects ripple throughout the economy.

Issues with Windows 11’s dark mode are finally being fixed

**Issues with Windows 11’s Dark Mode Are Finally Being Fixed**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 07, 2025, 08:02 PM*

Microsoft is officially addressing the dark mode inconsistencies in Windows 11. The tech giant began testing these improvements in the August preview builds of the operating system, and now it is rolling out updates to enhance dark mode consistency across various File Explorer actions such as copying, moving, or deleting files and folders.

### Enhancing User Experience with Dark Mode

One of the most noticeable dark mode issues appeared when users tried to copy large files. Despite having dark mode enabled, the system would display a light mode dialog, creating a jarring and inconsistent user experience. This is set to change with the latest update from Microsoft, which also extends fixes to move and delete dialogs and other parts of the OS.

### What’s Next for Dark Mode in Windows 11?

Looking ahead, Microsoft is working toward a more consistent dark mode experience across additional elements such as progress bars, charts, confirmation and error dialogs, and prompts related to skipping, overriding, and file selection.

Dark mode was first introduced in Windows 10 back in 2016. However, it has taken several years for Microsoft to refine this feature and bring consistent dark mode support to the wider Windows ecosystem. With these latest improvements, users can expect a more seamless and visually cohesive experience moving forward.
