StellarCrowandClaude Fable 5.1 499fd61f79 feat(sources): fetch linked URLs for the 252 spreadsheet-only cases 
Until now only cases 357+ (plus a few older ones) had their linked URLs
fetched; the other 252 dossiers held just the text pasted into the
spreadsheet, often only the lede. This pass fetches every linked URL for
those cases so the full text is on file before link rot takes it.

- stage_all.py: new --include-sheet-cases flag that lifts the skip on
  cases holding spreadsheet articles. Resumable as before.
- staging/: raw extracts and index.json for the 252 cases.
- sourced-articles.json, case-files-manifest.json: 188 new UNTRIMMED
  blocks. 179 cases gained at least one fetched article; 73 got none
  (49 BLOCKED, 18 THIN, 9 DEAD, 4 video/social, 3 ERROR).
- sources/*.txt: rebuilt with build_cases.py --all. Sheet pastes are
  kept; fetched blocks sit beside them under the NOT YET TRIMMED banner.
  Files previously committed with CRLF are now LF.
- wayback-availability.json: Wayback snapshots exist for 73 of the 98
  failed URL slots; input for an archive-fetch pass.
- README-START-HERE.md: progress note and next step.

verify_all.py PASSES (1836 checks).

Noida Couple Stage Robbery In Their Home To Get Friend's Crypto Investment Worth Crores, Arrested
Ajit alias Rahul Singh, his wife Mahi and their accomplice Ankur Payal were arrested. The trio was arrested during the probe of a robbery at the couple's flat in Arania society.
The Noida Police on Thursday arrested three people, including a couple, for staging a robbery in their own flat to get the cryptocurrency of a businessman-friend.
According to the police, the accused have been identified as Ajit alias Rahul Singh, his wife Mahi and their accomplice Ankur Payal.
The trio was arrested during the probe of a robbery at the couple's flat in Arania society in Sector 119 on the intervening night of March 20 and 21.
The couple and their friend, Virendra Malik, a businessman, had filed a complaint at the Sector 113 police station that a group of men had robbed their house and also attacked them.
"The three people had come to the police station in an inebriated condition. They requested a medical test, which showed minor injuries to all three. The next day, they filed a loot complaint," additional deputy commissioner of police (Noida) Shakti Avasthy, said.
How the plot was exposed
However, during the probe, the couple's actions put them under the scanner of the investigators. The cops found that the businessman, Virendra Malik, was invited to their apartment by the couple.
But the breakthrough came after the arrest of their accomplice, Payal, who was caught with their car. Payal told the police that he and the three other men who robbed the flat were entrusted to stage the act by the couple.
Couple knew about friend's crypto investments
According to the police, the couple was going through a financial crisis and they hoped to find a way out of it by robbing their 'friend'.
Police said that Malik had told the couple about his large investments in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
The couple then roped in four more people to stage the robbery at their home. During the staged episode, the "robbers" made off with some gold jewellery worn by the businessman and also administered some narcotics, leaving him unconscious for more than 24 hours.
Tried to get crypto details
According to police, a wristwatch, a neck chain, three mobile phones, and Rs 5,800 in cash were robbed from Malik by the assailants who colluded with the couple.
They also asked him for his cryptocurrency details and mobile passwords, which Malik refused to share despite being beaten up.
Couple also beaten up by robbers
The 'robbers' also beat up the couple, probably to allay any suspicion that they were together in the act.
The accused have been booked under IPC sections 328 (causing hurt by means of poison), 394 (causing hurt during a robbery), 506 (criminal intimidation), and sections 34 (act done by several people with common intention), 342 (wrongful confinement).
Police said that three more people, identified as Deepak, Mathu and Anjum, all natives of Meerut who were part of the robbery gang, are still on the run.
