Patna:

Make childless women pregnant and earn big money: that was their business pitch. It did work until the gang was busted and three people were arrested from Bihar.

The alleged scam was reported from Kahuara village in Nardiganj subdivision of Nawada district.  

Cyber scamsters ran an ‘All India Pregnant Job Service’, through which they lured prospective customers and then blackmailed them, said the police.

According to the offer, they tempted people with Rs 10 lakh in exchange for making women pregnant, said the police. Even in case of failure, said the police, the customers were promised Rs 50,000 to Rs 5 lakh.

“Three people have been arrested. They provide ‘All India Pregnant Job Service’ and also run a ‘Playboy Service’. Their MO (Modus Operandi) is that they put advertisements on Facebook. After that many people call them. In the name of registration, these people ask for prospective customers’ PAN Card, Aadhaar card, selfie. They then collect money from the people who fall into the trap of this temptation in the name of registration and booking hotels,” said Deputy Superintendent of Police Imran Pervez.

Those arrested have been identified as Prince Raj, Bhola Kumar and Rahul Kumar. 

Six mobile phones have been recovered from the arrested accused through which WhatsApp chats, customers’ photos, audio recordings and bank transaction information have been obtained, said the police officer.

A Somalian man has been charged with murder for allegedly killing his seven-month-pregnant Swedish girlfriend. Mohamedamin Abdirisek Ibrahim, 22, allegedly committed the crime to avoid introducing her to his strict Muslim family.

The victim, 20-year-old Saga Forsgren Elneborg, was found dead inside her home in Orebro in April 2023. Ibrahim is now facing charges of “honour killing”, reported LBC.

Prosecutor Elizabeth Anderson stated that Ibrahim killed his girlfriend “by suffocating and strangling her by means of pressure on her neck with an impact on the trachea and the blood supply to the head.” The unborn baby was also killed in the attack,” the report added.

This is Mohamedamin Abdirisek Ibrahim and his girlfriend Saga Forsgren Elneborg.

They live in Sweden.

Saga is now dead because Mohamedamin murdered her when she became pregnant with his child.

A 1,000-page arrest report contains photos showing the crime scene, which also shows a lamp cord. The prosecutor added, “The murder took place in an honour context because the man wanted to preserve or restore his and his family’s honour by killing the woman who was carrying his child.”

According to the prosecutor, Ibrahim was raised with the belief that “it is not okay for him to date a white woman,” the report added.

“He must date a woman of the same culture. If he doesn’t, he will be excluded,” the prosecutor revealed.

The prosecutor also revealed that Ms Elneborg and Ibrahim had been in a relationship for two years, which he kept hidden from his mother.

It was revealed through text messages between the couple that Ibrahim planned to tell his family about the pregnancy but he was nervous about doing so, according to a local outlet Afton Bladet.

Ibrahim’s text message to his girlfriend read, “Feels like I can almost feel my heartbeat all the way down to my stomach walla,” to which Ms Elneborg replied, “Just take it easy, it’ll be fine babe.”

The prosecutor clarified that Ibrahim had not informed anything to his family about his girlfriend’s pregnancy, despite her plans to move in with him a week later, the report added.

“I know we can make it, but I won’t be able to keep my family. If it had been possible, there would have been no problem with keeping the child,” Mr Ibrahim texted her after learning about the pregnancy, according to the outlet.

Ms Elneborg’s final message to Ibrahim was sent after midnight on April 29 where she wrote, “Baby, talk to me,” the Afton Bladet report mentioned.

Shortly after receiving her message, Ibrahim allegedly went to her home and strangled her, as claimed by the prosecutor.

Ms Elneborg’s mother told a Swedish outlet, “She was so happy. She was about to move to a new apartment and begin her journey as a mother. This is the worst thing imaginable.”
