Bike taxi captain & woman attack each other in Bengaluru, cops arrest the man
BENGALURU: A Rapido bike taxi captain was arrested in Bengaluru on Monday on charges of slapping a woman rider, who objected to his alleged rash riding. The accused, though, said it was the woman who had attacked him first.
A video recorded by a passerby shows the two arguing and the captain can be seen slapping the woman, who loses her balance and is knocked down. Later, cops collected CCTV footage from a building, which showed the woman attacking the captain first.
The accused bike captain, S Suman, 28, was arrested on a complaint filed by the pillion rider, Priya (name changed). He has been booked under multiple sections of the BNS.
Speaking to TOI, Priya said the incident took place on June 13, when she was on her way to work.
She had booked a Rapido bike, and Suman was assigned the ride. According to Priya, the ride was rough as Suman was driving rashly, violating traffic rules at will, and even took a detour.
"I requested him to slow down and follow the route shown on the map, but he refused to listen," she said, adding that she finally decided to end the ride when her office was about 200 metres away.
Priya added that as she got off the bike, Suman got into an argument with her for ending the ride prematurely.

"When I countered, he slapped me hard," she said, adding, "In a bid to protect myself, I too attacked him."
Suman later told the police it was Priya who hit him first, which made him lose his cool. "Since there was a huge traffic congestion on the main roads, I took the inner lanes. But the woman kept yelling and abusing me for taking a different route. On reaching Jayanagar Block III, when she abused me yet again, I lost my cool. She spoke ill of my parents. When I warned her, she slapped me," Suman said, clarifying that it was then that he hit back.

The MBA grad who became the 'Ketamine Queen': Meet Jasveen Sangha who has been charged in Matthew Perry's death case
Jasveen Sangha , a 41-year-old MBA graduate once known for her polished social media presence and high-profile connections, now faces federal charges in connection with the overdose death of Friends star Matthew Perry. Dubbed the " Ketamine Queen " by prosecutors, Sangha stands accused of possessing and distributing large quantities of ketamine and methamphetamine from a stash house in North Hollywood . Set to go on trial in August, Sangha has pleaded not guilty to charges that include distribution of ketamine resulting in death — a charge that could carry 10 years to life in prison if convicted. Prosecutors now planning to slap additional charges against Jasveen. According to reports, Sangha was a 'meticulous and studious' student at her Calabasas high school. After earning a degree in social sciences from UC Irvine and an MBA from Hult International Business School in London, she briefly attempted to run a nail salon in Studio City, a business that ultimately failed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Encontre voos low-cost Voos | Anúncios de Pesquisa Saiba Mais Undo By 2015, Sangha had taken a sharp turn into the Los Angeles party scene. She rebranded herself online as a globe-trotting curator of luxury events, sharing glamorous photos from parties, dinners, and poolside gatherings with celebrities like Charlie Sheen, DJ Khaled, and Perla Hudson, ex-wife of Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash. According to TMZ, Sangha reportedly met both Matthew Perry and Brooke Mueller (Sheen's ex-wife) during time spent in rehab. Live Events Federal investigators allege that Sangha was deeply involved in drug trafficking . In a March raid on her North Hollywood apartment, authorities reportedly discovered 79 vials of ketamine, three pounds of meth-laced pills, and cocaine. Photos of her alleged stash — including liquid ketamine and powders — have been released by prosecutors. Sangha is also under scrutiny in a separate overdose case, where she allegedly sold ketamine to Cody McLaury, who died shortly after the transaction in 2019. Ironically, despite driving luxury vehicles like a BMW and Range Rover, prosecutors claim Sangha had no verifiable employment since at least 2019.

F-35 beware! American stealth fighter has been shot down, and an innovative method was used to lock on to the advanced combat jet
Iran claims to have shot down three Israeli F-35I Adir fifth generation stealth jets during the ongoing combat operations. Iranian forces also say they have captured at least one of the female pilots flying what is touted as the world's most advanced fighter aircraft. Israel, on the other hand, denies losing any aircraft during the bombing run on Iran, and instead claims to have established aerial superiority over the skies of its adversary. Israel Defense Forces have been routinely releasing videos of air and missile strikes on Iranian air defence systems and missile launchers, with the claims of having destroyed at least a third of the latter, delivering a massive blow to Tehran's plans to target its enemy. But are the Iranian claims of having shot down multiple F-35I Adirs true? by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bank Owned Properties For Sale In Menteng (Prices May Surprise You) Foreclosed Homes | Search ads Search Now While the truth may take some time to come out as wartime claims and counter claims continue, what is clear that Iran did try to shoot down the Israeli jets during their bombing runs. Israel, which used the F-15, F-16 and F-35 jets to hit military and nuclear facilities in Iran, has categorically stated that none of its aircraft have been shot down, let alone its prized stealth jets. Also Read: Nuclear weapons increasing as Russia-Ukraine war, Israel-Iran conflict reignites World War III fears Live Events However, American stealth combat aircraft are not immune and one was indeed brought down by a technologically less advanced adversary, and this incident happened in the last century. Another stealth jet was shot at by a surface-to-air missile and though it managed to get back to its base, the damage ensured that it was never flown again. US F-117A Nighthawk stealth fighter shot down Let's recount what happened during the civil war in the then Yugoslavia in 1999 when the United States Air Force lost a Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk stealth ground attack aircraft with serial number 82-0806 to what many considered a Soviet era obsolete surface-to-air missile system. As the civil war in the now defunct Yugoslavia raged on in the mid and late 1990s, the NATO led by the US stepped in. The US Air Force deployed its F-117A Nighthawk, the first-ever operational stealth combat jet in the world, to patrol the skies over the breaking Yugoslavia. During one such patrol on the night of March 27, 1999, a F-117A, call sign "Vega-31" and piloted by Lieutenant Colonel Darrell Patrick "Dale" Zelko was flying near Belgrade when a unit of the Yugoslavian Army under the command of Lt. Col Zoltán Dani locked on to the fighter. The unit was armed with Soviet Isayev S-125 Neva/ Pechora missile system (NATO reporting name SA-3 Goa), employing a decades old technology developed in the 1950s. How the US stealth fighter was tracked Lt. Col Dani employed an innovative and ingenious method to track and lock on to the F-117A by operating his radars thrice, each time only for 20 seconds. At 8:15 pm local time, Lt Col Dani's unit got lucky and was able to lock on to the F-117A when Lt Col Zelko opened the plane's internal bay to drop the bombs, increasing the stealth aircraft's radar cross section area. Also Read: Will US join Israel-Iran war after embassy hit? Iran's biggest blunder may drag America into conflict As soon as the F-117A lit up the radar, Lt Col Đorđe Aničić, the soldier responsible for firing the missiles, launched multiple projectiles at the stealth jet. The missiles with a range of 8 miles (13 kilometers) were fired in quick successions and the air defence system was operational for just 17 seconds to avoid detection by NATO. The jet about about 14 miles (23 km) away from the Yugoslav air defence unit when it was locked on. As it approached the area nearer to the Soviet Isayev S-125 Neva system, the missiles already airborne locked on to the jet and went for the kill. During his debriefing following his rescue, Lt. Col. Zelko recounted that he saw two Isayev S-125 missiles streaking towards him. While the first one missed the F-117A but caused buffeting, the second one detonated. The missile's shrapnel and shockwaves resulted in the stealth jet going down. The shoot down was also confirmed by a NATO Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker which was over Bosnia at that time. Lt. Col. Zelko parachuted and hid while Yugoslav soldiers fanned out to hunt him. He, however, managed to escape being captured and was ultimately rescued by a team of US Air Force combat search and rescue team. More than a month later after the shoot down, another F-117A was on April 30, 1999, hit by the Yugoslavian air defence missile. However, this one did not fall out of the sky and hobbled back to Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany. But the damage suffered by the jet was extensive and the airframe was declared a total loss and never flew again. The F-117A was retired by the US Air Force in 2008.

Odisha beach horror: 10 men gangrape college student, hold boyfriend hostage
BERHAMPUR/BHUBANESWAR: Ten men allegedly gang-raped a Plus III student after holding her boyfriend hostage on a popular beach in Ganjam district on Sunday evening. Seven of the 10 were detained on Monday and efforts are on to nab the rest. Police sources said the 20-year-old survivor had gone to the beach with her boyfriend, who studies with her. They were sitting in a secluded area of the beach when the men surrounded them around 9.30 pm. "The allegedly drunk perpetrators made vulgar remarks at the girl. When her boyfriend objected to their behaviour, they assaulted him and dragged him away while others raped her. They held the boyfriend hostage at a distance," a police officer said. Police sources said the men gagged her, preventing her from raising her voice. The perpetrators fled after raping her. The girl reached the police station around 11 pm. Initially, she was hesitant to file a complaint. But was later persuaded by her boyfriend to lodge a complaint, police said. "We have detained seven out of 10 suspects, all in their 20s. All of them belong to Ganjam district. Raids are being conducted to nab the remaining three accused. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 180k traders turn to IC Markets for optimum CFD trading conditions IC Markets Sign Up Undo Most of them are unemployed. Their criminal antecedents, if any, are being verified," Berhampur SP Saravana Vivek M told TOI. The SP and his personnel also inspected the site of the crime. Police sources said the survivor lives in a rented apartment with three other women. The survivor underwent medical examination and appears to be stable. She is being provided with psychological support, police said. The incident comes days after the alleged gang-rape of a Class IX student in beachside hotel in Puri. Three men were subsequently arrested. "The affected stretch of beach in Ganjam reportedly lacks proper illumination. District authorities should address this issue and enhance security patrolling to protect visitors," said Srinibash Subudhi, working president of Hotel and Restaurant Association of Odisha. According to Debasis Kumar, vice-president of Hotel Association of Puri, "Safety of visitors at tourist places should be accorded top priority. Police should review security measures at prominent tourist hangouts at regular intervals."
