Streamers Cinna and Valkyrae break down in tears after being chased during IRL stream
During a Twitch livestream on March 3, 2025, popular streamers Cinna and Valkyrae broke down in tears as they recounted a terrifying experience from the previous night. Alongside fellow creator Emiru, the two were chased by an unidentified individual while IRL streaming on the sixth day of their "Sis-a-thon" Twitch marathon.
According to Emiru, who later shared her experience in a post on X (formerly Twitter), the situation escalated when the stranger became hostile after she refused to give him her phone number. He then began making threats against the group, forcing them to flee.
In an emotional Twitch stream, Cinna described the terrifying moment: "He kept running and trying to get something out of his pocket. When the clip cut off, we had to run into a store screaming that somebody was going to kill us so that someone would step in and help."
She added, "We were lucky that one of the workers didn't question us and actually believed us. They took us all into the back."

Footage of the incident quickly went viral, sparking widespread outrage within the streaming community. Popular content creator Pokimane took to X to urge authorities to take action against the harasser.

SHC issues notice to IO over failure to respond in petition on Alvi account freeze
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) National Assembly Member Arif Alvi tabled the bill in the National Assembly last year seeking incorporation of Section 89-A PHOTO: PPI/FILE Listen to article The Sindh High Court (SHC) issued on Monday a show-cause notice to the inquiry officer (IO) for failing to respond to a petition filed by former president Dr Arif Alvi challenging the freezing of his and his family's bank accounts. The court observed that the IO had neither filed a reply nor appeared during proceedings. A constitutional bench, headed by Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, directed the officer to appear at the next hearing on June 25 and explain the delay. At a previous hearing, the court had allowed Dr Alvi to withdraw up to Rs1 million from one of the frozen accounts for essential expenses. Other accounts belonging to him, his wife Samina Alvi, and son Awab, remain blocked. Barrister Ali Tahir, counsel for Dr Alvi, told the court that the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) had issued undated letters to private banks ordering the freeze under Section 25 of the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2010, and Section 5 of the FIA Act 1974. Read: Alvi allowed to withdraw up to Rs1m The petition argues that the freeze was politically motivated and lacked due legal process. The family alleges the account restrictions have placed them under financial strain. Last month, SHC had issued notices to the FIA's National Cyber Crime Wing and banks on a petition challenging the freezing bank accounts of Arif Alvi and his family. During the hearing, Barrister Ali Tahir, informed the court that the blanket freezing of the accounts of Dr Alvi and his family has caused an adverse impact leaving them unable to cover their daily expenses. The court, while hearing the matter, noted that notices would be sent to all relevant parties and their responses would be sought. In a brief exchange, the bench remarked that the counsel must have received a fee for representing the case. To which, Barrister Tahir clarified that he was handling the matter pro bono.

Russian streamer Stepan Scoffy detained after desecrating flag for $12 donation
Streamer Stepan Scoffy was detained live on air after tearing down a Russian flag bearing President Putin's image in exchange for a 1,000-ruble donation. The 28-year-old, who has over 200,000 followers on Twitch and 2,000 on YouTube and broadcasts from Kudrovo in the Leningrad region, removed the flag from his wall, crumpled it, and tossed it aside, saying, 'F**k this flag.' The clip, which quickly spread across social media, drew sharp backlash. One viewer urged Scoffy to delete the stream, to which he responded dismissively, stating he did not care who might come for him. Scoffy later issued an apology, saying, 'Sorry to anyone I offended,' and claimed the footage was taken out of context. However, the next day, during another stream where he performed donation-based challenges in a playground, law enforcement officers tackled him from behind and detained him on camera. Russian media outlets report that Scoffy could face criminal charges under laws against desecrating state symbols, which carry a penalty of up to one year in prison. Authorities also cited hooliganism in connection with the incident. The incident has sparked debate online, highlighting the legal risks faced by content creators in Russia who challenge national symbols or leadership imagery in broadcasts.
