Received Unsolicited Political SMS During Election Season - TRAI and EC are a joke.

Today I received an spam SMS wishing me Ram navmi. From our "sevak" Mr. Goyal.

Aren't there regulations in place to prevent political parties from spamming citizens' phones with unsolicited messages, especially during sensitive times like elections? What are our rights as consumers when it comes to receiving these messages? I'm pretty sure it's an invasion of our privacy and wrong use of our personal data for these people's election gains.

I'm curious to hear from others who have experienced similar situations. Have you received unsolicited political messages during election seasons? Aren't there any regulations or guidelines that govern this type of stuff?

Jeetega toh Modi hi!

Every Indian knows that politicians don’t have conscience, and are power hungry animals. From the past decade, majority of us have given that power to one person i.e. Mr. Modi. And he indeed is very powerful even more so with the surplus of money he has received from different corporates. I agree that NDA led government has done good things but somehow their policy doesn’t align with creating employment, reducing inflation, improving the quality of education, working on the healthcare of the nation ( don’t forget what happened during covid), or also to take a criticism. His government tries to curb any uprising, promotes horse-trading of MLAs, promotes corruption by giving seats to other party leaders who were found guilty of corruption. The electoral bonds showed that they received enormous amount of money. Why is that money only being used for his party? He is regarded the best man for the nation then why not for the nation. Why is defence aircrafts being used for election’s rally? He isn’t corrupt. I understand the fact that there is no one as strong as Modi today, but don’t forget Indian constitution gives the absolute power to us. Today, it isn’t about if Pappu becomes the Prime Minister, it is more about to have another National party in centre so that the power stays with the people of the country and the politicians also understand that no money and no power can buy us. Plus the narrative which he is building about Hindus is wrong. Hinduism is polytheistic religion, then how can one make you believe in one man for the whole nation? This time vote to save the power of people of India. This time vote for ourselves and not for a man who makes you believe that his world is amazing as we know even “the American dream is a lie. “

Victim of a Cyber Crime

Yesterday, I was scammed by a stranger who took Rs. 6000 from me. I've informed my bank and initiated a dispute. Additionally, I've filed a complaint on the Cyber Security India portal.

Today, I received the below message from cyber crime

“Dear Sir/ Madam, Status of your Complaint Acknowledgement No. 229042xxxxxxxx, dated 15/04/2024 17:03:PM, reported on Cyber Crime portal is amount of Rs. 6000 has been Put on Hold. Kindly contact your respective Police Station.
Regards,
National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal.”

What does this mean? What should be done, Will I get my money back?

EDIT:

I was in contact with this stranger for over 6 months while playing Valorant, an online first-person shooter. He offered to sell me his account for Rs. 6,000, with Rs. 4,000 as advance payment and Rs. 2,000 as final payment. We communicated over Discord. During a call, I paid him, but he blocked me before providing the account details. Later, he unblocked me and invited me to join his crew to scam others. I reached out to my bank immediately, initiated a dispute, and filed a complaint with Cyber Crime. Today, I received a message from them. Now I'm wondering what it means.

Need serious life advice.

Hi..22M here.. (I really dont know the structure of reddit posts, so please bear with me)

22M, earning 22K pm working as a content writer, decent number of friends, no gf, family issue. Pays 13k for Home loan emi.. some of the amount to my mom and some goes into miscellaneous or urgent expenses... And i am left with around 2-3k going for travel expenses.

I live with my masi so rent and food is not a issue. But money is the main issue.

I am thinking of refinancing my home loan to pay it off and get a top up to pay other personal debts of mom.

But also personally.. I am not in a good mental state. Ik my life is fucked up and i want to do a lot of things but i just seem to have no energy for it.

Bad habits wont leave me. Idk what am i supposed to do..? I look calm but its so chaotic up there.. sometimes its too much to handle and too much bottled up that i get suicidal.

Plus the peer pressure of everyone living a great life while i am here getting my ass to work and coming home.. eat and sleep.. i hate it.

Idk if it is a therapist that i need or what.. there is so much to my story that i cant add to this post. Please do let me know what you think!

How is your experience with police in India?

I have mostly had very bad experience with police as they have always been extremely rude and disrespectful towards me. Just today I was pulled over by 2 police officers in who were also travelling on the same highway and were in their uniform. They were very rude in their language which was completely informal and addressing me as “Tu”. They complained that I allegedly cut them which I did not, and I was very fast, which is also untrue as the whole patch of highway had decent traffic. I was with my father and felt extremely helpless as I had to apologise without any reason. Please share your experience with police and how as citizens we can improve this in India?
