30-Year-Old Bengaluru Woman Identified As Leader Of Al Qaeda Terror Module, Arrested
Shama Parveen, a 30-year-old woman from Bengaluru, was arrested by Gujarat ATS for allegedly leading an Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) terror module, as per a report.
A 30-year-old woman was arrested in Bengaluru after she was identified as the key conspirator behind an Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) affiliated terror module, India Today reported.
Shama Parveen was arrested by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on charges of allegedly running the entire module and handling coordinating operations from Karnataka, the report quoted sources as saying.
This comes a week after the Gujarat ATS claimed to have busted a terror module in Ahmedabad and arrested four people on charges of allegedly promoting the ideology of Al-Qaeda in the AQIS, a proscribed outfit.
The four arrested persons were involved in sharing radical and provocative content, including jihadi propaganda videos of AQIS, on social media platforms with an aim to uproot the democratic system and implement 'sharia' (Islamic law) in India through an armed rebellion, an official release mentioned.
Earlier, the ATS received a tip-off that some Instagram account holders were spreading extremist ideology of AQIS and trying to attract Muslim youth towards radical outfits by sharing inflammatory content calling for violence or terrorist acts against Indian citizens.
Acting on the tip-off, the ATS kept a close watch on five such Instagram accounts and nabbed four persons, two of them hailing from Gujarat, who were running them.
Those arrested were identified by police as Mohammad Faiq, a resident of Delhi, Zeeshan Ali, an inhabitant of Noida (Uttar Pradesh), Saifulla Qureshi, a native of Modasa town of Arvalli district, and Ahmedabad resident Mohammad Fardeen Shaikh.

Sri Ram Sene leader held for poisoning school water tank to target Muslim headmaster in Karnataka
BELAGAVI: In a shocking incident, police have confirmed that a Sri Ram Sene leader deliberately poisoned the drinking water tank of a government school in Hulikatti, Saundatti taluk, leading to 12 students falling ill. The attack, police said, was motivated by religious bias aimed at the school's headmaster, who is a Muslim. Including Sri Ram Sene leader Sagar Patil, the main accused, all three persons involved in the plot have been arrested. The incident occurred a couple of weeks ago at the Government Higher Primary School in Hulikatti, which has 41 enrolled students. Headmaster Suleman Gorinayak, who has been serving at the school for 13 years, was allegedly the target of the conspiracy. Addressing a press conference, Superintendent of Police Dr Bhimashankar Guled said, 'Sagar Patil of Hulikatti village conspired to have the headmaster removed purely because of his religion (Muslim). To execute this plan, he coerced another villager, Krishna Madar, by threatening to expose his inter-caste relationship unless he cooperated.' Under duress, Krishna, along with his associate Naganagouda Patil, allegedly procured pesticide from Munavalli town. They mixed it into a soft drink bottle and bribed a minor student from the school with Rs 500, snacks, and chocolates to pour the contents into the school's water tank. The student carried out the act as instructed. On July 14, soon after consuming the contaminated water, 12 students fell ill and 11of them were hospitalised and treated promptly. All have since recovered. SP Guled confirmed that the accused, Sagar Patil, Krishna Madar, and Naganagouda Patil have been arrested. A case has been registered at Saundatti Police Station, and further investigation is on.

Men's Bollywood Style Sunroof Smoking Scene On Jeep Compass Ends In Jail
Last Updated: The men were detained after being discovered through the vehicle's registration number and were charged under Section 184 of the Motor Vehicles Act. For years, we have heard 'Smoking is injurious to health' as it can lead to a wide range of illnesses, including lung cancer, heart disease, and stroke, and can also negatively impact overall quality of life. But it is equally important to understand where to light the cigarette, as you might end up inside jail. Yes! You read that right. Recently, a video of two men smoking cigarettes while standing out of the sunroof of a Jeep Compass went viral on social media. But what was treated as a fun moment between friends turned into a lesson to remember as both men were arrested by the Police officials. Taking to Instagram, Raipur police dropped the clip featuring two men standing outside the panoramic sunroof of a Jeep Compass SUV with the registration number 'PB 70 L 9795.' Both of them were enjoying smoking a cigarette while other people on the road were staring at them. As the clip progresses, we see the late actor Amrish Puri's clip saying his dialogue, 'Your face has completely changed." The video then cuts to a scene in which those men are handcuffed and chained, surrounded by a number of police officers. They can also be observed walking in difficulty, implying that they have been beaten by the officials. Where Did The Incident Happen: According to the report, this incident occurred at Jai Stambh Chowk in Raipur. It is one of the city's busiest intersections. They were detained after being discovered through the vehicle's registration number and were charged under Section 184 of the Motor Vehicles Act. How Did Social Media React? Several users were quick to share their reactions to the video, with many lauding the officials for taking strict action against them. An Instagram user wrote, 'Good job, Police." Another one wrote, ' Thank you, Raipur Police, teach people like these a lesson." One of them shared, 'Very nice work, Raipur Police." Noida Youths Arrested For Performing Dangerous Stunts: In a similar incident, a group of young men were recently arrested in Greater Noida for performing dangerous stunts on two moving cars. The video of the incident shows one man hanging out of a car window, waving a stick, while the driver's door remains open. Another car can be seen speeding in a zigzag pattern, with the passengers recording video. tags : auto news police traffic rules view comments Location : Delhi, India, India First Published: August 04, 2025, 16:20 IST News auto Men's Bollywood Style Sunroof Smoking Scene On Jeep Compass Ends In Jail | Video Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'Import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world': UK roads, dustbins stained with paan spits
UK roads, dustbins stained with paan spits - Video goes viral (Source: X/@harrowonline) A viral showing London's public infrastructure stained red with Paan spittle has sparked a flurry of reactions online and reignited the debate on UK's immigration problem. The clip shared on X by @harrowonline zooms into dustbins, roads and tree trunks turned red, stretching from Rayners Lane to North Harrow. The video caption calls it out as 'Paan spitting is becoming a big problem in Harrow. ' Netizens called out the problem as part of "unwanted landscape", drawing attention to immigrant communities in London. While many called for stricter fines and public awareness campaigns, others pointed fingers at the Indian and South Asian diaspora. 'This is what uncontrolled immigration gets you,' one user posted. Another added, 'You can take people out of India, but can't take India out of them.' However, this backlash also sparked fierce defence. 'Cultural practices don't equal criminal intent. Educate, don't vilify,' countered another user, calling out the rising racial tone of the debate.
